From Witcher to Lord of the Empire

Shapet continued to speak unhurriedly, with a deliberately controlled sense of reciting in his tone and speed:

"I can also slander you to calm the anger in my heart at the moment, but I have more important things to do at the moment. This is the difference between you and me. Save you and me a little time, and end as soon as possible This farce, put down the weapon in your hand, let the guards beside me take you to the dungeon to wait for trial, and then we will set off to quell the chaos - your lies that can be broken with a poke are meaningless."

"That's right! This is a lie that can be broken at the first poke, and it is also the best lie to verify!"

Caleb Manji's whole body has fallen into a kind of abnormal excitement at this moment, and those eyes almost burst out of their sockets.

"You haven't touched silverware since the stroke, whether it's knives and forks, plates, or candlesticks. You explain that you are frugal, but you still wear a gold necklace! If you are not a shapeshifter, do you dare to-- "

Caleb Manji's roar suddenly got stuck in his throat, he widened his eyes and stretched his neck, as if he saw something incredible.

He suddenly realized what was wrong with Chapelle today.

I saw Chapelle, the security officer of the Eternal Flame, suddenly abandoned his gold necklace today and replaced it with a thick and hard silver chain like a shackle.

At this moment, he held up his necklace with both hands without any scruples, and said in a cold tone: "I used to think that gold is the color close to flames, so I like it. But a few days ago, I put the necklace on to help the citizens affected by the disaster. The gold necklace was donated; if the gangsters do too much damage today, I'll donate even the silver chain."

As he spoke, he raised the necklace in his hand: "Is this the 'silver' you mentioned?"

Chapelle looked around at Caleb Manji and his subordinates with a changed face, and said slowly: "I have always known that you have doubts and dissatisfaction with my policies, but I didn't expect that your dissatisfaction has accumulated so much that it can be treated like this The incitement of lies that can be broken at once. You miss the feeling of being superior, don’t you? You miss the days when you can wear gold and silver just by praying hymns every day, and you are even deceived so easily because of it—”

Under the gaze of everyone, the security officer of Eternal Flame shouted loudly: "Believers, what about your faith!"

Caleb Manji stared at the silver chain on Chapelle's neck. He didn't even need to turn his head to know that the troops he had finally entangled with were unstable at the moment, but he couldn't figure it out.

"No! This is a prop you prepared yourself. It's just a silver thing, not real silver!"

Before Caleb Manji finished his words, he suddenly heard the sound of a "whoosh" arrow piercing the air.

Everyone present didn't react, they saw Chapelle yelled and fell to the ground with a crooked body.

"Monsieur Chapelle!"

The guards around Chapelle were in a hurry and hurried forward to check the situation of the security officer.

With a muffled grunt, the arrow was pulled out.

"This is an arrow made of silver! How dare you prepare such a weapon to attack Mr. Chapelle!"

Caleb Manji looked around his subordinates in a panic. He did prepare a silver weapon, but he definitely shouldn't make a move at this time!

"etc……"

Caleb Manji still wants to stop all this, and he still wants to continue to verify Chapelle's real body.

But in his team, suddenly a guard began to mutter.

"Jiji for a long time, now I can finally fight."

Then, everyone saw a person rushing out from behind Caleb Manji, holding a long sword in his hand and rushing towards Chapelle.

"For the eternal fire, for the guards of the temple, for Lord Caleb Manji!"

The guard's charge completely disregarded his own safety, and he was pierced by three long swords at the same time, but he also buried the weapon in another man's neck.

Caleb Manji's eyes widened.

Behind him, another person shook suddenly, and then showed an expression of interest.

"It's really interesting..."

On the roof, Kayan slowly withdrew the crossbow in his hand.

He grasped the steel sword behind his back, his eyes were the same color as the blood splashed in the field, and finally restrained his urge to join the battle, and murmured softly:

"Let's fight, let's fight, the more intense the better... No matter which side it is, the more dead the better, then Lann's power will be more important..."

On the other side, where Triss was standing, there was an unsteady fluctuation in the air, which was the effect of chaotic energy.

If a warlock was present, one would be able to find that Chapelle had the same magical fluctuations as Triss at the moment.

Chapelle's doppelganger transformation had already been lifted, after all, he was wearing a big silver chain all day today. His shape change at this moment is the result of being squeezed out by Triss's chaotic energy like plasticine, and then painted with a layer of illusion to cover up.

The illusion performed by an experienced warlock is far from being as simple as deceiving the eyes. For example, Philippa, she was also able to use illusion to create phantom food on the banquet, and once deceived the perception of other warlocks, allowing them to eat without knowing the truth.

In her words: This can not only satisfy the appetite, but also don't have to worry about body control.

Although Triss is not as powerful as Philippa at the moment, it is enough to fool these mortal guards.

Chapelle, who was shot by the silver arrow, pushed away the guards who were supporting him to prevent them from touching him again. Then he tore off his silver chain and threw it in the direction of Caleb Manji as if venting his anger. past.

"Leave me alone, take down this group of betrayers who are blinded by power and interests!"

Chapelle's subordinates had already been in hand-to-hand combat with the opponent. Hearing Chapelle's order at this moment, the guards who had surrounded him as protection also drew their swords and charged to join the battle, with fanatical expressions.

"For the Eternal Fire! Take down the Believer!"

Chapelle pressed the wound on his shoulder and slowly retreated to the rear, his body twisted under the illusion.

The slightly deliberately cold expression on his face immediately became natural.

And Triss on the roof also breathed a sigh of relief, and slowly withdrew her hands.

Since then, Chapelle's position in the Eternal Flame has been completely stabilized.

Ahead, the followers of Chapelle's faction and the temple guards led by Caleb Manji were spattered with blood.

Chapelle's faction was furious and high-spirited; while the temple guards panicked and retreated steadily.

Whenever a temple guard wants to put down their weapons and surrender on the spot, one of Caleb Manji's companions will yell "for the eternal fire" and rush forward to meet the sword with his chest, inspiring everyone morale, giving them the illusion that they can win right away.

And whenever Chapelle's believers want to let go of the temple guards who are kneeling on the ground, they will shake their bodies and shout "for the eternal fire" with their hands up and down, and they will not let anyone go. People, strengthen everyone's determination to wipe out the enemy.

One sword after another was shattered, and one armor painted with fire emblems was torn apart. After all, the flames added with special flavors and fuels were still not as red as blood, and could not cover the smell. The world has become a hell on earth.

Chapelle sighed deeply, the kindness from the doppelganger in his mind and the decisiveness to kill from the security officer of the eternal fire began to conflict violently, as if two people were biting each other inside his body, giving him a headache Unbearable.

Finally, he couldn't take it anymore.

"Triss, it's almost done, stop. If this continues, the Eternal Flame will no longer have the armed force to maintain order..."

The subtle voice that seemed to be mumbling to herself was accurately transmitted to the sorceress' ears under the transmission of chaos magic.

The sorceress looked at Cat Pie the Witcher.

Keyan shrugged: "This level of chaos has been caused, and when it will end is not up to us."

Triss frowned: "Lan should have given you a way."

Obviously, they haven't been together for a long time, but the Cat Pie Demon Hunter seems to have established a deep bond with Lann. As soon as Triss said the name, Kayan made a gesture that seemed to surrender.

"Alright alright……"

I saw Kaiyan take out a small bag of ashes from his pocket, and began to mutter words.

Immediately afterwards, the bag of bone meal drifted into the air without wind, outlining the shape of a person.

In the battlefield, the body of a temple guard suddenly swayed, his eyes dazed. He seemed to want to yell, but the next second his head was chopped off by an axe.

"What the hell, red-eyed guy, I'm having a blast!"

Vlodimi yelled in dissatisfaction, and then his sight suddenly touched Triss not far away.

He immediately put on another face:

"Oh, I don't know what to call this lady? I really want to praise your hair like a delicious strawberry, but the truth is that it is hotter than the eternal flame~"

Triss snorted softly.

Raising his hand, the chaotic energy immediately engulfed the ghost's body, making him unable to move or speak.

"Okay, okay, Ms. Triss. Calm down, what's the fight with the dead?" Kaiyan turned to look at Flodimi, "My agreement with your brother is to let you enjoy the day of rebirth, I Seeing that you are enjoying it, so should you give me what I want?"

The demon hunter took out a piece of parchment: "I need a certificate to prove to your brother that I have completed his commission."

The chaotic energy was withdrawn, and Vlodimi, who was in the form of a ghost, gave Triss a rather apprehensive look, muttering something about "sorceress".

He reached out to grab the pen, but found nothing.

Spiritual bodies are intangible objects.

Vlodimi raised her head with a playful smile, but immediately heard Triss chanting again. Then his body except his right hand became transparent and blurred, and all the ashes that made his body visible gathered on his hand.

Kayan offered the pen again, and this time Flodimi caught it.

Although Vlodimi's face could no longer be seen at this time, it could be seen from the shaking of the pen that he was unwilling.

The written proof was completed quickly, and Vlodimi said sullenly: "Can I go back to the party again?"

Keyan nodded and said, "It's possible, but didn't you realize that their fight is coming to an end?"

Vlodimi said of course: "They have been fighting for so long, and it is time to stop. I don't want to miss the end of the story."

Keyan lowered his voice and said persuasively: "No, what I mean is: you have been a soldier for so long, why don't you try to possess their leader—that Caleb Manji? As long as you become the leader , Don’t you decide when the battle will end? Moreover, enjoying the battle with a different identity can also experience a different kind of fun.”

Vlodimy's eyes lit up.

"I'm going now, you won't call me back again? The proof has been given to you, and the contract between us is over?"

Kaiyan nodded: "Of course, the ashes have been used up. I can't even send you back. You can stay here as long as you want."

Vlodimi smiled contentedly.

Possessing Caleb Manji is a good idea, but before leaving, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and said to Kayan with malicious intentions:

"Demon hunter, I get along very well with you. In fact, to be honest, you are the one I want to possess the most. After all, compared with these big soldiers, it is more interesting to be a mutant who is strong and capable of spells. If next time If you still need me, you can use this as a bargaining chip to talk to me~"

Vlodimy left laughing.

Kaiyan's hands trembled, and the veins on them popped out.

Triss looked at the emotionally unstable Maopai witcher, and asked politely, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, it's okay, Ms. Triss, I'm fine." Kaiyan said blankly, "What's the deal with the dead?"

…………

Caleb Manji looked around dazedly. In the chaos, he didn't know who was slashed by him. Fortunately, his armor was thick, and he was not at a critical point, so he still had the ability to act.

The development of things up to now has completely exceeded his expectations.

The Temple Guard can be said to be the most elite armed force of the Eternal Flame - this elite refers to the level of equipment and training.

Since Caleb Manji is the leader, he has a strong control over the temple guards.

The direct troops in Chapelle's hands are conventional armed forces such as Novigrad's city guards and patrols. If it is a head-on conflict, it is difficult to compete with the Temple Guard.

But in religious civil wars, the level of combat power ultimately depends on beliefs. The stronger the beliefs, the better the fight. Not to mention that among the temple guards, there are also young people with faith who admire Chapelle.

Caleb Manji had wanted to use the doppelganger charge against Chapelle as the straw that broke the camel's back to win. He even used this as a merit to become a bargaining chip for himself to become the ruler of the eternal flame in the future.

But now it seems that everything is impossible.

Visible to the naked eye, the temple guards who were instigated by him were already confused. The young guards no longer knew why they were fighting when they saw that Chapelle had removed the suspicion of the shapeshifter.

"Everyone!" Caleb Manji was dying, "Think about what Chapelle has done during this time, he must have used some evil methods, maybe some magic or alchemy that we don't know, we can't let The eternal flame perishes in the hands of such a person!"

The head of the group shouted loudly, but there were very few responders.

Knowing that the general situation was over, Caleb Manji swung his long sword vigorously, pretending to be fighting in an attempt to boost the last bit of morale. At the same time, the whole person was fighting and retreating, and quickly retreated to the back of the team with blood covered in a brave posture.

"Kaman!" He yelled to his deputy, who was already ready to run away, "Allow the rest of the staff, gather together, we are going to..."

In the middle of Caleb Manji's words, his whole body trembled suddenly, and his eyes suddenly changed.

"Captain?"

The deputy stepped forward in doubt, but heard Caleb Manji shouting: "Guardians of the temple, swear to the death, I will fulfill the oath of eternal fire with my own body!"

Afterwards, he rushed from the back of the team to the front line, even kicking and bumping away many guards who were standing still, with a heroic look of fighting to the death.

The deputy was dumbfounded. Knowing his team leader's usual personality, he couldn't understand the scene in front of him.

All the believers on Chapelle's side gritted their teeth and waited for the dying counterattack of the temple guards.

Only Chapelle secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

A [Moon Dust] bomb ran over from nowhere, whirled and hit Caleb Manji's head head-on, and then the invisible chaotic energy began to act on the head of the temple guard.

Before the chaotic people in the field could react to the alchemy bomb coming from there, a silver mist erupted around Caleb Manji.

In the horrified sight of everyone, Caleb Manji suddenly began to scream from another person, and then a figure began to waver faintly behind him.

The shrill howling and twisted limbs made everyone present shudder.

No matter which side the fighters were at, they stopped their movements at this moment, and a terrible conjecture emerged in their minds.

Behind the crowd, Chapelle, who had been in hiding because of being hit by an arrow, suddenly stood up.

"Possessed by evil spirits! Caleb Manji is possessed by evil spirits!"

Under the dual control of [Moon Dust] and chaotic energy, Vlodimi writhed in pain, and his ferocious face was presented unreservedly in front of everyone present under the appearance of the mercury mist.

Caleb Manji also howled in pain like a beast.

"Not long ago, I learned that besides the giant toad, there was an evil spirit wandering below the Temple Island. So I begged another demon hunter to solve this problem for me. But I didn't expect that He was found at this time."

Chapelle's tone was cold, but his eyes were full of anger, and he looked at the "colleague" of the eternal flame with grief.

"The evil spirit has killed Caleb Manji and possessed him. It bewitched this riot inside the Eternal Flame, and I am only now understanding everything. Don't you think everything that happened today is too Is it too ridiculous? The head of the temple guards accused me of being a shapeshifter, and the believers of the Eternal Flame lost their minds and killed each other, this is not something you will do at all."

"It's all the evil spirit's fault!"

Chapelle directly determined the nature of the matter, emphasizing that Caleb Manji was dead, and what was in front of him was just an evil spirit.

Looking around, he could also see that the instigators and little leaders in Caleb Manji's camp had all died, and the rest were young temple guards. Some of them were simply bewitched by the leader and did not kill any more It is necessary to kill them.

And the two groups of people covered in blood blankly looked at the church members who were called brothers yesterday, who were facing each other with swords and swords just now, and now stopped the swords and swords, their eyes began to become clear.

They gradually understood everything.

"The evil spirit... yes, it's all the evil spirit's fault! The evil spirit bewitched us, and it was the evil spirit that maliciously slandered Mr. Chapelle!"

"They're all evil spirits, heinous evil spirits!"

"No, no, it's not an evil spirit. It's a false god, a false god of the pagans, who want to subvert the eternal fire!"

"Don't be frightened by it, for the eternal fire!"

"For the Eternal Fire!!!"

At that moment, countless swords pierced through the silver mist at the same time, among which the temple guards were the most vicious and crazy. They brandished their swords recklessly, and even accidentally injured their companions.

But no one cares about this at this time.

Even if there is the effect of [Moon Dust] to make Flodimi appear, he is a demon spirit after all. What pierced his body was neither the silver sword nor the special sword oil of the witcher, so the damage caused to him was limited, and he fled immediately.

But Caleb Manji was different.

He died in the first instant, no matter how strong the armor was, it couldn't stop the weapons of the believers at this time. Triss, who was watching, even believed that the red-eyed guards could chew the armor off Caleb Manji's body with their teeth.

Kaiyan silently applied [Ghost Oil] to his weapon. Not long after the silver mist in the field dissipated completely, he closed his eyes and looked around for a while, and immediately chose a direction to leave.

Triss didn't ask where the cat sent the witcher.

Above the temple, the struggle gradually subsided. The temple guards stared blankly at the "Caleb Manji" that had become everywhere, speechless for a while.

With a sound of "clang", it is not known who was the first to drop the weapon in his hand, and then there was a dull shock caused by continuous kneeling, and they surrendered.

Chapelle pressed the wound on his shoulder, shook his head and pushed away the support of the people around him, and walked to a young guard step by step.

"Monsieur Chapelle..."

The young man raised his head, his hands were shaking, not because of fear, but regret.

"You killed the evil spirits and guarded the eternal fire."

The youth guard seemed to be affirmed, his eyes lit up.

"But you have committed a crime after all, even if you were bewitched by evil spirits. So you have to atone for your sins."

The young man bowed down: "I will use the rest of my life to make up for the sins I committed today."

Everyone in Caleb Manji's camp imitated the young man's actions and confessed their crimes to Chapelle. The believers on Chapelle's side stepped forward one by one, tied them up, and prepared to take them to the dungeon.

The turmoil on Temple Island has subsided.

Chapelle originally thought so.

"Monsieur Chapelle! Look over there..."

His adjutant suddenly exclaimed.

The terrain of Temple Island is very high, and a small half of Novigrad can be seen from their direction. His eyes turned to the direction pointed by the adjutant, and Chapelle's eyes reflected the soaring fire and billowing smoke.

There are still countless figures running away, each one of them looks no bigger than an ant. They are chasing each other and killing each other.

Soon Chapelle saw a large number of figures being chased by the people behind, and then stopped in place.

"That direction... is Novigrad Square?" Chapelle muttered to himself, "It was a riot caused by gangsters... But haven't all these been resolved in advance?"
