Chapter 272: The Unlucky Kaedwen Kingdom
Wayne was shocked in his heart. Although he knew that the Elder Blood probably couldn't be hidden for too long, he absolutely didn't want too many people to know about traveling through different worlds.
Connecting to different worlds represents both unpredictable danger and unimaginable wealth and resources. In the eyes of many people, these are things worth coveting.
I still underestimated the natives of the Wizard World, Wayne thought.
Calculating this way, besides the Dryad Queen being able to infer his Elder Blood from the future through her powerful prophecy spell, it seems that the elf race also has its own way to identify the special bloodline of their own race.
However, now, he already had Kaer Morhen, which could be considered an absolutely safe territory. Even if the Elder Blood was exposed, it wasn't too big of a problem.
Wayne's thoughts turned rapidly, but his face didn't have much fluctuation. He didn't lie, just said in a normal tone:
"Does the elf race still have members with Elder Blood? How did you discover the Elder Blood on me."
After Francesca asked the question, she had actually been observing Wayne's expression. She didn't want to have a gap with this young man who had the most potential among her own race because of these things.
After hearing Wayne's question, Francesca tilted her head slightly, looked at the man with clear and beautiful eyes, and said with a sincere expression:
"Besides you, we no longer have other male elves with this special bloodline."
"However, our race has a female elf sage. Like you, she does not have the purest Elder Blood bloodline and cannot fully master this power."
"This sage once looked at you from afar once. She is an expert proficient in Elder Blood and can easily distinguish the bloodline in your body."
"The power of Elder Blood is very special and has special significance to our race."
Speaking of this, Francesca bit her lower lip, and a hint of temptation was revealed in her voice:
"Before arriving in this world, this bloodline has always been circulating in the elf royal family. Calling it the royal bloodline is not impossible."
"And our current Elf King does not have this bloodline in his body, so he is not the true leader of the elf race."
Wayne heard Francesca's subtext, and couldn't help but feel moved in his heart. Although he knew this must be a bait, well, it didn't matter, he didn't promise anything.
So, after Wayne thought for a while, he said with a somewhat grave expression:
"I have indeed been to several different worlds, Ms., and have also gained some harvests from those different worlds."
"However, different worlds are too dangerous. To be blunt, even a witcher like me whose strength is already at the top, when arriving in a different world, cannot be counted as a powerful expert."
"In many different worlds, there really exist gods who can destroy the world, so every time I travel through different worlds, I am very careful and dare not expose the existence of our world."
"Otherwise, it might also bring serious crises to our world."
The elf sorceress understood. The Aen Seidhe elves once explored many worlds and also encountered many powerful worlds. Regarding the danger of different worlds, they were much clearer than Wayne, this rookie possessor of Elder Blood.
So, Francesca placed her soft palm on Wayne's palm and persuaded softly:
"Wayne, perhaps different worlds can indeed make you harvest richly, but life only happens once, you must be very cautious and don't expose yourself to danger."
"Your existence is very important to our elf race. In the future, please be able to trust me more. I will not do things that harm you."
Listening to the elf sorceress's sincere words, a hint of emotion rose in Wayne's heart. However, due to the stereotypes in the original work, it was very difficult for him to trust this future queen of the elves 100%. It could only be said that the first impression was really very important.
But as of now, Francesca had indeed never done anything to apologize to him, but instead provided a lot of help.
She was undoubtedly a very good partner for cooperation. At least before the interests of everyone conflicted, she shouldn't betray him.
After having such cognition, Wayne decided to deepen the cooperation with the elf race later. Anyway, the other party already knew most of his secrets. In this way, working together was the best choice.
The two rode quietly for a few minutes, and Francesca suddenly patted Wayne's hand resting on her slender waist and laughed: "Hehe, Wayne, I was scared by your Deathclaw at first and forgot the business."
"You went to a different world for two months. Now you definitely don't know what happened in Kaedwen. I came to find you this time specifically to tell you about this."
Hearing this, Wayne also showed an interested expression. He remembered that before leaving, the portal located in the mountains that connected to the Diablo world appeared abnormal, even directly triggering an earthquake, and many monsters came to this place from the different world.
This led to Henselt falling into a coma, and the Sorcerers Brotherhood had to send members of the Supreme Council to investigate the cause.
Now two months had passed, and he really wanted to know how this matter developed later? It seemed that seeing Wayne was also quite interested, Francesca didn't sell it, and said directly:
"Actually, the development of this matter is also related to the different world."
"You also know about the space rift that had an abnormality at the beginning. Later, two Supreme Council members of the Sorcerers Brotherhood took a group of mages and went to the rift under the protection of an army."
"But they found that the rift was slowly expanding due to the influence of some powerful dark power and could not be sealed."
"That power was very high-level and was power from a different world. Even the Supreme Council members could not crack that power in a short time."
"There are endless monsters from the different world coming to our world from the opposite world."
"They stayed near that rift for half a month. Later, the army was besieged by the monsters. The monsters of the different world were like an army. They possessed a large number of mages, controlled many undead creatures, and could also resurrect corpses to fight."
"Finally, the army of Kaedwen couldn't hold on, and the Supreme Council members had no way. This matter ended in failure."
Speaking of this, the corner of Francesca's mouth couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile.
Obviously, such a result was more in line with the interests of the elf race. Although Kaedwen was invaded by the different world, most of the losses were human power. After all, that was the territory of the human kingdom, and it was still a kingdom hostile to non-human races, which made her feel a kind of happiness of the fisherman benefiting from the snipe and clam fighting.
After confessing the previous secrets to Wayne, Francesca appeared more intimate. Her palm was still on Wayne's arm, and the warm touch was transmitted to the hearts of the two through the skin.
The elf sorceress pursed her lips, a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth, and continued:
"Now two months have passed, and that strange fog where monsters always appear has shrouded nearly one-fifth of Kaedwen's territory, dividing the entire kingdom into two parts. Even their capital Ban Ard has been completely shrouded in the fog."
"Although the Sorcerers Brotherhood used sealing spells to set up arrays around the fog, delaying the expansion of this fog, it has indeed divided the entire kingdom into two parts."
"Plus Henselt has been in a coma, and now the entire Kaedwen Kingdom has appeared a large number of refugees. The nobles are fighting on their own, and two great nobles with royal bloodlines are hostile to each other for the throne."
"This country has been chaotic to the point of collapse."
Listening and listening, Wayne couldn't help but click his tongue in his heart. He didn't expect that in two months of not seeing, Kaedwen had developed to this point. At the same time, his heart also produced a hint of vigilance toward the space rift of the different world.
Although the Wizard World had indeed been infiltrated like a sieve, in the future, if he still wanted to continue creating space rifts, he must do a good job of aftermath, thoroughly seal those space rifts, and not let them influence the fate of a country directly like this rift of the Diablo world.
However, what Wayne didn't expect was that Francesca's news didn't stop there. The elf sorceress paused for a few seconds and continued: "And according to the information I obtained in other countries in the North, given the chaos in Kaedwen, it seems that other kingdoms want to intervene in the issue of Kaedwen's throne succession."
"At the very least, I have confirmed information that King Demavend of Aedirn has already become interested in Kaedwen."
"Now Kaedwen is divided into two halves by the fog, and even the capital has been swallowed by the fog. Plus their throne is undecided, and military power has suffered heavy losses. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
"And you know, Aedirn and Kaedwen have always had grudges, and have had many bloody conflicts because of territorial issues."
"Demavend of Aedirn is also a greedy guy, and he is not prepared to give up this opportunity."
"Perhaps it won't be long before we can see Aedirn and Kaedwen have a large-scale war, fighting each other."
When mentioning this matter, the corner of Francesca's mouth was always carrying a smile.
For the elf race, Kaedwen and Aedirn were not good things.
One was extremely hostile to non-human races, and the other had always been eyeing the Valley of Flowers, always trying to seize the last piece of land from the elf hands.
Many innocent elves died in the hands of the humans of these two kingdoms. If they could see them biting each other, it was indeed a very happy thing.
After listening to Francesca's description, Wayne's heart also had some shock. The history of the Wizard World seemed to have undergone huge changes because of his influence.
Now according to the time calculation, Ciri of Cintra should have been born, but the hedgehog man Duny was thrown into the different world by him, and the Nilfgaard Kingdom in the South was still ruled by the Usurper.
But now it was different from the original work. The North had already appeared the chaos of Kaedwen. I don't know if the Nilfgaard Kingdom would wait for six years like in the original work before starting the first Northern War?
