Chapter 297: Aftermath of the Disaster
Power indeed has no distinction between good and evil.
Just like the fel energy and death power in the Azeroth world, they can still produce people like Demon Hunters and Death Knights who fight for justice.
I didn't expect that the Moon Princess Ranni, who seemed to lack common sense in life, would have such insights, which made Geralt look at her with new eyes.
However, those big truths can be slowly understood in the future. Now, it is more important to figure out what happened to those Fallen Sorcerers who besieged him, besides Yennefer?
Whether dead or alive, there must be an explanation.
Geralt carefully observed the facial expression of the doll and then raised his question.
It is also interesting to say that although Geralt and Ranni have a cooperation contract relationship, the time they actually spent together is not long. Before entering this fog, they only spent three days together. After entering the fog, it was probably only three or four days, adding up to less than a quarter of the time he was in a coma.
Ranni's doll's origin is unknown, and it is likely that the system brought it from somewhere in the Lands Between, and Geralt is the first person from another world that Ranni contacted, and he was also a person willing to provide her with help.
Perhaps it is precisely because of this tacit understanding between each other, as well as the potential in him, that is the reason why Ranni is willing to help him.
"Are you talking about those human spellcasters eroded by the power from another world?"
Ranni's voice was still flat, without containing too much emotion.
Geralt nodded, suddenly thinking that his ugly state while in a frenzy must have all fallen into Ranni's eyes, and even during the time she followed him, he had already had relationships with many women.
In the past month, it was even a live broadcast, a month of shamelessness with several goddesses.
I don't know if the beautiful Moon Princess would mind this.
"They didn't die. After I escorted your friend out of the fog, I returned to your side soon."
"At that time, although your will had fallen asleep, your body, because it absorbed too much power from the evil god from another world, turned into a state controlled by the subconscious and fell into a frenzy, and was wreaking havoc in the mountain range."
"However, the power on those twelve spellcasters seemed to have some connection with the dark mana on you."
"They not only didn't continue to attack you, but instead obeyed you as their master, and together with you, began to attack the monsters in that mountain range."
"However, you, who were in a frenzy, didn't act according to their ideas. You lifted the control of one of the female spellcasters, and after ordering her to leave."
"The remaining people then, under your order, locked themselves in a nearby cave."
Speaking of this, Ranni's doll looked up at Geralt and continued:
"But now a month has passed, I don't know if those spellcasters are still alive, and whether they will continue to obey your orders."
After getting this news, Geralt breathed a sigh of relief, but at the same time, he was somewhat surprised.
He originally thought that under the control of his subconscious, he would indulge his desires and do some barbaric and lascivious things.
Even if he didn't press those sorceresses under him and ravage them a few times, he definitely wouldn't have let those people go so easily.
Unexpectedly, he actually just let those people lock themselves up. Is Geralt a good person in his subconscious? Geralt laughed at himself, feeling that this ending was not bad, and could even be called a happy ending for everyone.
However, he had no intention of rescuing those people immediately. Not to mention that he didn't know how to lift the control of Baal's power, nor could he be sure whether these people still had hostility.
Even if he had this ability, it would not be good for him to appear near the space rift in the past now.
As the main entrance for this invasion from another world, even if the matter had been resolved, it must be heavily guarded, with various bright and dark gazes watching there. Going there now would just be looking for trouble for himself.
As for whether those guys would starve to death, Geralt didn't really care. They were already famous spellcasters. If they starved to death, they could only blame their own incompetence.
Anyway, now, their life and death were not high on Geralt's priority list. Whether it was Geralt's safety, finding a cure, or the affairs of the Witcher Order, all were much more important than these people.
Time passed in a flash, and another month passed. In this month, many things happened one after another. First was Geralt. His injuries were indeed very serious, and he was basically in a coma for half a month before waking up.
Fortunately, Margarita was a high-level talent among sorceresses who had studied healing spells quite well, far stronger than those quack doctors, herbalists, and witch doctors in the countryside.
After reporting the intelligence in the fog to the Sorcerers Brotherhood, she immediately set about performing surgery on Geralt.
After a day of emergency treatment, the result was neither good nor bad.
The White Wolf's life was saved, but because his internal organs suffered multiple severe injuries, it was estimated that he would need long-term recuperation and treatment for the next year or two, and it was estimated that he would not be able to engage in any intense combat, and could only become a medicine jar or a sick person.
But fortunately, the Witcher's body was far tougher than ordinary people. Although Geralt's injuries were serious, as long as he was willing to spend time on treatment, although some sequelae would be left, he would eventually be completely cured.
It wouldn't cut off the path of the Witcher from now on, it just needed a long time to recuperate.
In this regard, that bottle of strong healing potion worth thousands of gold coins from Geralt played an indispensable role. If it weren't for this bottle of potion hanging Geralt's life, letting him hold on until he reached a well-equipped treatment room.
Perhaps this time, the White Wolf Geralt, this famous sword master in the North, would forever become a story circulating in the mouths of bards.
When Geralt went to visit Geralt, his good brother had already woken up. Although he was very grateful for Geralt's help and grateful that he had saved his goddess, between good brothers, everything was unspoken.
And Yennefer was accompanying Geralt, taking care of this man gently and carefully.
After experiencing this ordeal, Yennefer clearly realized what a reliable man Geralt was. Although he was a bit sloppy on weekdays, the White Wolf would really spare no life for the person he loved and dared to face any enemy.
Yennefer saw with her own eyes how brave and desperate Geralt was when they were surrounded by the soldiers of the Corrupted humans. This was a man worth entrusting for life, far more worthy of reliance than those so-called knights.
When there was no one around, Geralt found Yennefer and asked her some questions.
However, the result he got was quite disappointing.
Yennefer didn't remember how she walked out of the fog, and she didn't even remember how she was saved.
After the examination of the Sorcerers Brotherhood, Yennefer lost her memory after being eroded by the energy from another world. She had no impression of what she had done after being controlled.
After visiting Geralt, Geralt also learned from Keira that the Sorcerers Brotherhood didn't know who had solved this matter, and didn't even figure out that there was a Demon Lord from another world behind this matter.
However, according to their internal statistics, in this operation, a total of more than thirty young elite sorcerers from their organization went missing, the dead mercenaries added up to more than a thousand, and five Fallen Sorcerers had been confirmed dead.
Including several royal advisors of the Northern Kingdoms such as Sabrina, Sheala, and Fringilla, all had gone missing, and there was even a member of the Supreme Council.
According to the news Geralt heard, that guy was the middle-aged male sorcerer who was possessed by Baal and always wore a lens, named Carduin.
After this unlucky guy was possessed by Baal, he was reshaped by hellish power, and finally his body collapsed into blood, and even the corpse couldn't be found.
Hearing this news, Geralt breathed a sigh of relief. Although it was a pity that his reputation didn't resound throughout the North, this was also not bad. People are afraid of being famous and pigs are afraid of being strong. At least there were no various messy things to disturb him.
And because the location of Keira and others was quite far from the space rift, the Sorcerers Brotherhood already knew that Geralt had saved Yennefer, but they didn't associate Geralt with the hero who solved the mastermind.
In these few days, they lost more than thirty backbone members of the organization, which caused the strength of the Sorcerers Brotherhood to be severely damaged. Various aftermath problems, as well as adjusting the internal contradictions between kingdoms, had already made their manpower in a state of severe shortage.
Coupled with the fact that although the fog in the Kingdom of Kaedwen had dissipated, the countless monsters and Corrupted humans hiding in the fog had not been eradicated and eliminated, but instead, because they lost their restrictions, they had already spread to the entire Northern Kingdoms.
This undoubtedly added a lot of work to the Sorcerers Brotherhood, which was specifically responsible for handling supernatural events, and also added a lot of chaos to the entire North.
Things had passed for nearly two months. Except for a few people who were close to Geralt, no one else had the heart to investigate deeply what hidden secrets were behind this disaster.
