Chapter 2667: Fooled



The rest of the journey went smoothly. Ciri directly captured a temple guard and asked him about the whereabouts of her friend Dandelion. The latter was so scared that he immediately went to look for someone. Then it didn't take much effort for Dandelion to be escorted to Ciri. Although he looked a little embarrassed, at least he was not injured.

Even so, Dandelion complained bitterly after seeing Ciri, saying that he was almost skinned alive - and he was also very curious about how Ciri made these believers so obedient.

In fact, Ciri was also very puzzled, but she still controlled her temper and said that she would tell him what happened later, and then she sent the bard away. Finally, Ciri returned to Fang Zheng angrily and started to settle the score.

"What on earth are you thinking about? I don't want to be a ghost messenger!"

"Okay, don't worry, let me explain to you."

Fang Zheng sat on the chair, staring at Xili with a smile on his face.

"You were originally planning to go back to Kaer Morhen and meet your... Geralt, right? He's your adoptive father. You were planning to reunite with him, right?"

"yes."

"But have you ever thought about a question?"

At this point, Fang Zheng raised a finger, while Xili frowned.

"What's the problem?"

"Does that mean Geralt will stay in Kaer Morhen? He's a witcher, right? According to what you said, shouldn't a witcher travel around to hunt monsters? Besides, since his precious adopted daughter is missing, he can't just sit in the castle and bask in the sun all day. He might just go around looking for you. Even if you return to Kaer Morhen, what if there's no one there? Communications are not well developed in this era. How are you going to contact Geralt?"

"this……"

Hearing Fang Zheng's question, Ciri was suddenly stuck. The sorceress might have some strange methods, but she didn't have this ability.

"So you see, if you go back to look for him and he's not there, wouldn't that be like an afternoon soap opera? Something like they were so close yet they just passed by each other... So, I came up with a good idea."

"Is this the good idea you came up with?"

It would have been fine if Fang Zheng didn't mention it, but as soon as Ciri was mentioned he got extremely angry.

"What kind of good idea is this!?"

"Isn't this good? You see, you have become a messenger of God, and this news will surely spread all over the world immediately. By then, it will be spread all over the streets and alleys. Will that man named Geralt not hear about it? Whether he believes it or not, he will come to Novigrad to take a look. You just need to wait here obediently and you will be able to see him. Isn't this the end of everything?"

"this……"

Originally, Xili hadn’t thought about it this way, but now after listening to Fang Zheng’s words…it seems to be true!

"But, but why let me be the messenger of God? Wouldn't it be different if Miss Liz or Miss Miaojie could do it? Isn't Miss Liz still a believer in Semlia... the Seven Stars, what is the Seven Stars..."

"The Seven Lights Church."

Hearing this, Liz added silently, and Ciri nodded immediately.

"Yes, yes, yes. Isn't Miss Liz a believer of the Seven Lights Church? Wouldn't it be better to let her do it? Why me? I have no interest in religion or anything like that!"

"Liz can help you, but in the end it's up to you to take the initiative. And let me tell you, this matter has something to do with you, okay?"

"What do you mean?"

"You told me before that you didn't plan to stay in this world, but to go to Semlia to start a new life, right?"

"……yes?"

"So what about your adoptive parents? I remember you said that one of them is a demon hunter and the other is a sorceress. They both seem to be not very popular in this world."

"That's true, but I still don't understand what this has to do with me being a divine messenger."

"It's a big deal."

Fang Zheng rolled his eyes, thinking that Xili was smart about small matters but confused about big ones.

"Look, doesn't the Church of the Eternal Fire have a great influence on the lower classes? As a messenger of God, you just need to announce that people are no longer allowed to discriminate against other races and that everyone should live together equally. Wouldn't that solve the problem of your adoptive father? Do you want to live happily in Semria by yourself, leaving your old father to suffer the cold words and rumors of others in this world?"

"Well……"

Hearing this, Ciri was speechless. Just as Fang Zheng said, Ciri had actually seen Geralt being killed by a mob with a pitchfork once before. At that time, she had taken great pains to save Geralt. But in the final analysis, the fact that Geralt was treated like this was naturally inseparable from the discrimination against demon hunters in this world.

"Besides, this is not just about your adoptive father."

As he spoke, Fang Zheng threw a thick book onto the table with a bang.

"……What's this?"

"I was just bored and researched the history of this world. I was really surprised. I didn't expect that in this world, you humans are the outsiders who came here from other worlds, and the goblins, dwarves and elves you discriminate against are the native inhabitants of this world... Hehe, do you understand what I mean?"

"I don't quite understand...Ah!!!"

Halfway through the conversation, Ciri suddenly screamed and reacted.

She then remembered why Fang Zheng followed her to this world? Because he wanted to destroy the Wild Hunt!

Why did Fang Zheng want to destroy the Wild Hunt? Because the Wild Hunt invaded other worlds and brutally oppressed and slaughtered the native inhabitants of those worlds... According to Fang Zheng, this seemed to violate some of their rules...

If you think about it carefully, what is the difference between this and what humans in this world are doing now?

"You can let me do it. After I finish dealing with the Wild Hunt, I will come back and solve this problem. What do you think?"

"I...I thought about it and decided to let me do it."

Ciri suddenly broke out in a cold sweat. If she did not have a clear understanding of Fang Zheng's strength before, then after walking with Fang Zheng just now, Ciri was now completely convinced that this man possessed terrifying power that she could not imagine at all. If she let him come, she didn't know what would happen.

Just like now, Ciri could never imagine Fang Zheng's way of finding someone for him. He actually directly crippled the Church of the Eternal Flame, and then used this incident to spread his reputation to attract Geralt's attention. Ciri couldn't think of such a trick. If he was asked to punish the humans in this world, Ciri didn't know what Fang Zheng would come up with.

However, looking at the tragic situation of the Church of the Eternal Fire before her eyes, Ciri felt that it must be an ending that she could never imagine.

In contrast, it is better to do it yourself.

Miao Jie, who was standing nearby, saw the whole conversation between the two and giggled and moved closer to Liz.

"You are worthy of being Mr. Fang Zheng. You convinced Miss Ciri so easily."

"Is that called persuasion? I always feel like it's coercion..."

Liz's expression was a little complicated, mainly because she witnessed a god using threats and bribes in front of her, which really destroyed Liz's world view and she wanted to find a place to slow down.

"Isn't this great? With Mr. Fang Zheng's ability, he is still so kind to Miss Xili and has no intention of putting on airs and giving orders. This is very rare."

"That's true..."

Hearing Miao Jie's praise, Liz still had a complicated expression. Indeed, with Fang Zheng's strength, Xili had to do whatever he asked her to do, whether she wanted him to do it or not, but he was still wasting time to present facts and reason with her. Although it was a bit strange, it was true... This at least showed that Fang Zheng respected Xili's personal will.

It's just that his performance really makes it hard for people to think in this direction.

"But then again, even if I became a divine messenger, I wouldn't know what to do. Do you want me to give a speech in front of other people?"

"Of course not. You just need to do the work you are good at. To put it bluntly, a divine envoy is to understand the people's sentiments, go deep into the masses, and help them solve their problems... Do you understand what I mean?"

"You mean... a demon hunter?"

Although the words Fang Zheng used were rather confusing, Xili figured it out after thinking about them a little.

"That's right. You just need to do the same thing as you did in the Demon Hunter era. Just like you said, go to every village's bulletin board to see if anyone needs help. Then go and ask him what happened, and then find a way to help him solve the problem... Isn't this what you are good at?"

"Yeah! I understand."

Hearing this, Xili immediately relaxed and nodded vigorously. She was quite familiar with what Fang Zheng said. If she was asked to do these things, then Xili felt that she would not be under any pressure.

"So when do we start?"

"Don't worry, let's first deal with the internal affairs of Novigrad."

Having said this, Fang Zheng glanced at the history book in front of him.

“There are still many historical issues that need to be resolved.”

Next, an unimaginable change began for the North.

The first was Novigrad, where the Eternal Flame Headquarters was punished by God for violating the will of God. The entire high-ranking church, including the archbishop, was burned to ashes, and their souls would be tortured by the flames forever until the end of the world.

The messenger of the God of Fire also issued a new oracle, announcing that all acts of persecuting non-human races were outright blasphemy, and all believers must immediately mend their ways. At the same time, it reiterated that the purpose of the Church of Eternal Fire was that everyone was equal, regardless of whether they were human or not, without exception.

In addition, the Cult of the Eternal Flame also issued an order that shocked the entire North, claiming that after investigation, they found that King Radovid V of Redania in the northern territory had intervened and changed the actions of the Cult of the Eternal Flame, and was even one of the initiators of the notorious "witch hunt".

Then the Eternal Fire indicated that the majesty of the gods must not be desecrated, and mortals must not steal power in their name. Radovid V's behavior was unforgivable and he would be sentenced to death!

The entire Kingdom of Redania was naturally in an uproar, and Radovid V was even more furious, clamoring to gather a large army to teach the Eternal Fire a lesson - however, on the day of the expedition, a fiery meteor fell from the sky and razed Radovid V's royal city to the ground. Naturally, he was dead beyond death, without even a trace of residue left.

Redania was the largest country in the North and the only country in the Northern Alliance that could fight against Nilfgaard, which was trying to annex the entire continent. The death of Radovid V immediately caused a series of disturbances. Redania began to fall apart, but in contrast, the reputation of the Eternal Flame Sect began to spread further.

However, for this world, this is just the beginning.
