Chapter Seventy-Four: Elven Ruins
"It's so dark here, Josh, can your flame shine a little brighter?"
"Please, I can see clearly even if I don't use these flames, it's you yourself too weak."
Following Kayla and Geralt in front, Josh whispered to Ciri. They were now in a cave with no fingers visible, an ancient relic of an elf, and it was unknown whether it had been built by the remnants of the Squirrel Party.
The so-called squirrel party is actually a guerrilla group organized by a non-human race, all the guerrillas of the non-human race that fights against human domination.
At the time of their appearance, due to the severe discrimination and abuse of non-human races in the Northern Kingdom, the main area of activity of the Squirrel Party guerrillas was also in the northern countries.
This really needs to be 'thanked' to some of the believers of the Eternal Flame, if it weren't for them, where would such an organization have emerged?
But Josh didn't bother to comment on this nonsense, it had nothing to do with him anyway.
A few days ago, Josh had cast a spell that caused the three witches to jump out.
Obviously, they also felt that the gap between themselves and Josh was exaggerated, and they had no room for resistance at all!
However, there is one characteristic of these witches, and that is that they are very vindictive!
Although it is not Josh's opponent, it does not prevent them from disgusting Josh, and in any case, it can be regarded as a means of revenge against Josh.
So they immediately detonated Anna's curse, or without hesitation at all.
When they were all done, they looked at Josh with a victor's eye, as if to say, "Come on, what if you kill us?" Haven't you failed in your mission?
In their eyes, Josh was hired by the Blood Baron, just like Geralt, the witcher, and now that the Blood Baron's wife is dead, it means that they have failed!
When the mission fails, these hired people don't have any rewards.
What they didn't expect, of course, was that the powerful spellcaster just stood there and looked at them with a 'are you idiots?' look.
It made them extremely uncomfortable, but they also comforted themselves inwardly that the caster would never find out what was going on.
But when they saw the woman named Anna being helped out, they were immediately dumbfounded!
What's going on? Isn't this woman supposed to turn into a monster? Why are you still standing here? What's going on here?
Unfortunately, Josh wasn't interested in explaining anything to them, and Akatosh wasn't interested in communicating with the three disgusting witches.
Without even Josh's move, Akatosh, who flew to Josh's shoulder, squirted directly at the three witches.
With a hellish flame, it surged out wildly, and the black flames covered the three witches in an instant, and then without even letting out a scream, the three witches became the dust of history.
Akatosh's flames, although different in color from Josh's flames, are indeed the same power.
How powerful is Josh's flames? To put it bluntly, Josh is definitely much more fierce than any 'alien fire' with his magic power and the cooperation of the Void Origin.
Such power to burn a witch in a low-level world, Josh felt that it was a bit overkill.
But it didn't matter, after all this was done, Josh and Ciri followed Geralt and left.
The baron had a relatively good result, and Josh was quite satisfied, and as for what his wife Anna was going to do with Josh, it didn't matter so much.
Whether it was to use love to influence Anna to regain her senses, or something else, Josh didn't know, of course, Josh felt that the baron's choice could really be to use love to influence.
It didn't matter, it was someone else's business anyway, and at this time Josh had followed Geralt to the place where the witch lived.
However, when Geralt saw the witch, he was immediately surprised to find that the woman was still someone he knew, Kayla.
Kayla was a young and beautiful sorceress who served as a royal advisor to King Folteste of Temeria along with Triss Meligard and Fekart.
It's just that, because of the coup d'Γ©tat on Suned's Island, although she survived the thrilling situation, she was expelled by King Foltest.
Originally, she thought that everything was calm, but then King Radovid V of Redania launched a frenzied campaign against mages in the Northern Kingdom, and Kayla, a member of the former Sorceress's Guild, naturally became one of the first targets.
In order to escape the witch hunters sent by the Eternal Flame, Kayla travels to Midcowps, a remote village in Willen, and disguises herself as a witch to prescribe medicine or fortune telling the local farmers. But she didn't expect to meet Geralt here.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Geralt." Kayla, who was taking a shower, noticed Geralt coming in, "Oh, you brought the others with you?" β
"I have to say you're in good shape." Josh didn't have any shyness or anything else at all, and since Kayla was generously bathing, Josh wouldn't have any reason to be embarrassed: "It's really hard to imagine that you're so well maintained, of course, considering that you're a sorceress." β
"Such an assessment does not fit a gentleman, your Excellency."
Kayla's face suddenly became a little gloomy when she heard Josh's words, how could he not understand the meaning of Josh's words, it was nothing more than saying that she would be very old next year, but no woman would like others to say her age, even if she was a sorceress.
"You're going to keep watching like this?"
"Oh, sorry. I was amazed by your enthusiasm, so I thought you did it on purpose, but it doesn't seem like that way now. β
Josh shrugged his shoulders unconcernedly, and then walked out with Ciri.
Of course, he didn't accept Ciri's eyes, after all, what he did just now was quite excessive, but Josh didn't care about this, you dare to wash me dare to see, is there anything bad?
The next time Josh simply handed it over to Geralt to negotiate, and when they came out, Geralt also told Josh about it in detail, Geralt's attitude made Kayla very surprised, and she also began to think about what Josh's identity was.
In fact, Kayla didn't tell Geralt much, just a brief mention of what she had learned about Ciri's whereabouts, of course, she didn't see Ciri but saw another person - that was the elven sage Avalak, the cursed fellow.
Ciri and Avalac run into some trouble, causing them to teleport to Veron.
Unfortunately, the two of them were separated, and the curse on Avalac made him very uncomfortable, so he contacted Kayla in exchange for a magic lamp and asked her to make a potion for him to slow down the onset of the curse.
Now that Kayla had made the potion and was going to go to the ancient elven ruins that the elf said in exchange for what he wanted, Geralt and Josh showed up.
In order to better find the news, Geralt simply went directly to this ruin, and Josh and the others naturally went with him.
"It seems that the curse suffered by that elf is probably dying. I'm also trying to figure it out, but unfortunately ....."
"Well, don't worry about him. This guy isn't a good guy. β
"You.... Do you know him? β
"Of course, this guy is Arawak, and he's very interested in your bloodline, and to be precise, your ancestor Laura Doron should be his wife, but she's just in love with a human magician."
Josh couldn't stop spoiling it, so the guy simply told him a lot of what he knew, and Avarak had a strong interest in the blood of the ancients and Ciri, who inherited it, even to the point of making people feel uncomfortable.
And what exactly is inside Arawak's laboratory, Josh also carefully describes it.
Josh's senses for Arawak are really average, or he doesn't have a good sense for Ayn Al.
Remember, the Arawak who has always protected Ciri once said, "Why would I, an elf, a sage, an elite, share any knowledge with something that evolved from monkeys millions of years ago?" β
At the time, Josh was really angry, although the game didn't show much of it, and it even felt okay.
But if you play it carefully and deeply, you will find that if you are too good to this guy, Ciri's final ending is basically cool, and Josh was deeply affected and full of resentment.
"But.... But how do you know so much? Ciri looked at Josh dumbfounded, she never thought that this was the case, walking in this cave she suddenly felt a little chill all over her body.
"Isn't it strange? Actually, I know a lot more, after all, I can travel through a lot of worlds and enter different timelines. Josh casually explained, an explanation that clearly did not satisfy Ciri.
"But how do you know so many things about this elf?"
"I care about you, right?"
β......β
Josh's words made Ciri wonder what to say, but there seemed to be no other better explanation for why Josh was so familiar with these things.
Obviously, it may have been Josh to the future and saw a lot of things.
Seeing Ciri's tangled appearance, Josh touched his chin and smiled: "Okay, don't look like this, there's nothing to worry about." The future doesn't necessarily happen, because my presence and completely disrupted all the timelines, okay, how about we clean up the wild hunt that has fallen into this world first, and then wipe out the rest of the guys? β
"Didn't you already know where the wild hunt was?"
"No, I don't know."
"Don't lie to me!"
"It's okay, you're so liar, you don't know if you cheat."
