Chapter 2670 A World in Chaos (I Plan to Try Fusion Evolution)

The rain poured down.

In the dim room, a man with serious face and gray temples was staring at the map in front of him, silent.

He is Ciri's biological father, and also the emperor of Nilfgaard, the great empire that is about to unify the entire continent, Emhyr Enress.

For Emhyr, the situation in front of him is very delicate. With the destruction of Redania, logically speaking, the resistance force of the entire Northern Alliance will also be wiped out. Next, as long as Nilfgaard sends his army If you go north, you can unify the entire continent.

But things are far from that simple.

First of all, the Redanian army that lost the king did not become a mass of scattered sand. On the contrary, they actually knelt down under the banner of the Eternal Fire Sect, declaring that they would fight for the great God of Fire forever—these barbarians People's ignorant and superstitious behavior really gave Emhyr a headache. But this is nothing, after all, the combat effectiveness of Redania's army is nothing more than fighting scum, and it is only a matter of time before they are eliminated.

But the other two issues had to attract Emhyr's attention.

The first is to appear in the Eternal Fire Sect, the Lord of Fire who calls himself Ragnaros. At first Emhyr thought it was just a rumor in the streets, but soon his spies reported unified information to him from different channels, that is to say, there was indeed a 100-meter-tall figure condensed by flames. A terrifying existence descended on Novigrad. As for what it was... no one could explain.

Considering that the opponent destroyed the capital of Redania with a meteor, Emhyr had to suspend his march. If he provoked the opponent, one day a bolide directly hit the royal city of Nilfgaard, and he would not do the same. Method.

The second point is very depressing, because according to the spy's report, his biological daughter Xilia actually became the envoy of the Eternal Fire Sect? !

This is embarrassing.

You know, Emhyr has only one daughter, Ciriya, in his life, and he has always hoped that his daughter can return to him and become the heir of this empire. Nilfgaard's attitude towards religion is forbidden and negative. They believe that so-called religion is just a product of superstition and ignorance of the world, which basically needs to be broken and eliminated.

This is great, my father is busy cleaning up the remnants of feudal superstition, and my daughter actually ran to become the angel of the church.

This is simply self-defeating.

It is precisely because of this that the situation in the north is currently at a stalemate in a delicate form. Nilfgaard has not acted rashly, and Novigrad is also busy with internal reforms. The two sides have temporarily formed a tacit truce.

However, no one knows what will happen next.

Just as the man was meditating, the door opened, and then his attendant walked in.

"Your Majesty, the white flame flying over the grave of his enemy, Emhyr Enris the Great!"

While talking, the attendant saluted him respectfully, and a man with white hair beside him also imitated his respectful salute.

"Everyone go out, the witcher stays."

Emhyr waved his hand, and soon, the others left, only the white-haired man remained. It wasn't until the door closed again that Emhyr stood up and looked at the white-haired man in front of him.

"I thought you wouldn't salute anyone, Geralt."

That's right, the white-haired man who appeared in front of Emhyr was none other than Ciri's adoptive father and a well-known demon hunter on the mainland—Geralt of Rivia.

Hearing Emhyr's words, Geralt raised his eyebrows, his weather-beaten, scarred face showed no expression at all.

"You summoned me because you wanted to remember the past, so..."

"Shut up."

Before Geralt could finish speaking, Emhyr interrupted him angrily. For Emhyr, that was not a memorable event.

That was when Emhyr was young, when he was thirteen years old, there was a coup in Nilfgaard, Emhyr's father was overthrown, and the usurper put a curse on Emhyr, turning him into a monster. After that, it was Geralt who helped him lift the curse, allowing this guy who was neither human nor ghost to return to his original state, and in return, Emhyr accepted the "law of accident" requested by Geralt, turning himself His child was given to him—this is why Geralt became Ciri's adoptive father.

For Emhyr, who now ruled the entire Nilfgaardian Empire and was about to unify the continent, that dark history was obviously something he didn't want to recall.

"Have you heard what happened in Redania recently?"

"What's up?"

"My daughter... Shiriya is back."

"real?"

Hearing this, Geralt also showed a surprised expression. He had been looking for Ciri, but found nothing. Now, finally a clue?

"That's right, she is in Novigrad now, I want you to go to Novigrad, find her, and bring her back."

"why me?"

Hearing this, Geralt asked suspiciously.

"Because she trusts you, and most importantly, things are a little off right now... You know what happened in Novigrad?"

"Novigrad?"

"It seems that the information has not reached your ears yet."

Looking at the witcher in front of him, Emhyr sneered.

"Not long ago, a terrifying existence condensed by flames appeared in Novigrad, with a height of 100 meters. It claimed to be the Lord of Flames, because the Eternal Flame Sect distorted its teachings and pretended to be powerful, so this flame The king burned the entire bishops' group including the archbishop to ashes, and sent an oracle to control the entire group—that oracle is Xilia."

"...... Ciri? Angel?"

Hearing this, Geralt also looked confused.

"That's right, I'm not very clear about the specific information. The empire is currently investigating, but we can't act rashly. You may not know that after that, the Eternal Flame accused the King of Redania of inciting a 'witch hunt', and He needs to be punished. The other party is very annoyed... and then the entire royal city was wiped out by a meteor falling from the sky."

"……………You are joking?"

"I hope this is a joke. I have asked my consultants, all the warlocks, but they all told me that no matter how powerful a warlock is, it is impossible to create a flame giant with a height of hundreds of meters, and summon a monster that is strong enough to The bolide that destroyed the royal capital. So I don't know what's going on over there, and I can't explain it all. No one can explain this, so I want you to investigate, find out what happened, and then put Xi Riya brought it back."

Having said this, Emhyr stared at Geralt.

"Any more questions? If you have any questions, ask Yennefer."

"Gone."

Geralt nodded and turned to leave, but soon he stopped and turned around.

"Want to play a game of gwent?"

"certainly."

Hearing Geralt's invitation, Emhyr's eyes lit up.

"I'm a card thief!"

At the same time when the two men forgot their daughters and were obsessed with playing cards, Fang Zheng took Liz, Miao Jie and Xili and left Novigrad together, and they were exploring and patrolling the wilderness.

Now Novigrad can be said to have become quite peaceful. The reason why the Eternal Flame Sect can occupy a dominant position in this free city, and even become the real master of this city, is because the residents here are backward. And ignorant, but also very superstitious. Since the pastors of those churches can deceive those people with their three-inch tongues, then when the real gods appear, these people will naturally believe in the eternal fire even more.

Ciri had no interest in handling government affairs, so he directly found a few bishops and temple guards with good reputations and asked them to handle it on his behalf. At present, the main job of the Eternal Flame is to eliminate the four major mafia gangs entrenched in the city—the one who hacked Ciri at the beginning has been captured by Fangzheng, and then he was imprisoned by Ciri and executed in public. The other party's bad breath when they were chasing and killing.

In addition, Eternal Flame has to face the Redanian army who surrendered from all directions. It can be said that after Fangzheng bombarded the royal city with a bolide, Novigrad, where Eternal Flame is located, became the core of the north. . There is also the need to send all the priests to proclaim the new doctrine of the eternal fire, etc... But of course someone will do it, so Ciri left Novigrad with the three of them to carry out the "demon hunter" work.

I have to admit that this world is still very beautiful. Riding a horse on the grassland, looking at the blue sky and white clouds in the distance, accompanied by the wind blowing across the grassland, dancing with the green grass, giving people a sense of vitality. beauty.

However, behind this beautiful scenery, there is also a dark side.

For example, when crossing the hills, the originally beautiful grass turned into a dark battlefield, full of unburied corpses, and ghouls wantonly gnawing on the corpses. Or go all the way along the narrow path, and then when you leave the forest, you can see several corpses hanging on wooden stakes and floating in the wind.

It can be said that the word war shows its most primitive, cruel and bloody side here.

Ciri is used to it, but for Liz and Miao Jie, this situation is still a bit unbearable for them.

As for Fangzheng, he could only turn a blind eye.

In fact, he has seen this kind of thing many times during the Warring States period. In Fang Zheng's view, the battle between Nilfgaard and the northern countries in this world is similar to that of Qin and the Six Kingdoms at that time. Of course, standing on Fang Zheng's side From a perspective, he supports the unified civilization. Because a unified country, a unified civilization and a unified system can bring about a peaceful and stable order.

But on the other hand, you can't force the other party's means and methods of doing things because of this. It's normal for deserters and thieves to be hanged. Killing and brutal acts in war are unavoidable. When the soldiers of the Qin State entered the Six Kingdoms, they were not necessarily more civilized than the soldiers of the Nilfgaard Empire, so it can only be said... For future generations, both Qin State and Nilfgaard are worthy of praise Yes, but for the people of that era, these two countries were no different from demons.

Having said that, the representative color of both Qin and Nilfgaard is black... Is this some kind of coincidence?

"I've seen it several times, but I'm still not used to it..."

Looking at the corpses hung on the wooden stakes, Miao Jie's face was a little stiff.

"It's great that Princess Alfin didn't come."

"Me too... I feel very uncomfortable."

"This is war."

Ciri was not as sad as the two girls, she shook her head, then looked forward.

"The crow's nest is over there, let's go."
