Gods, Ashes Descend

Chapter 49 The Mirror Master and Finding the Wolf Turns into a Cat

When you are strong enough, everyone will treat you kindly.

This is a truth, and it applies to all of the world.

The world of Witcher is strange. You could say it's low magic, but gods and demons roam everywhere, like the one in front of you.

You're talking about high magic, right? Ordinary people can even harass female sorcerers. These powerful girls can unleash a meteor shower on you when they unleash their ultimate abilities.

It can only be said that the truly capable ones don't want to get involved, while the others either have some concerns or their moral standards are too high.

"Do you want to buy something? I think you would be a good trading partner."

For example, news or something. I also have some rare stuff that will satisfy you.

"Of course, you can sell me anything rare or unusual; I'll pay a high price."

Looking at the somewhat comical-looking man in front of him, Gundam, cough~ Mirror Master Gant Odim, nicknamed the Strongest Bystander (Demon), Levi sat in the tavern and shrugged at the thing that had come to his door.

"What do you want? Souls? I have dozens here, give them to me and then don't bother me anymore."

Gantt immediately shook his head.

"No, no, no~ that's too boring. For example, this! Rune technology, you'll definitely be interested in it."

Besides, the world of Wild Hunt is there, don't you want to go and have some fun? I can also watch the excitement.

Li Wei was interested in rune technology, but how did he acquire rune craftsmen? Was he just going to be dumbfounded by the runes? This was a specialized skill that required a long period of dedicated effort.

Moreover, it's questionable whether it would even be useful outside the world. If a world without magic is just for show, then that would be interesting.

Sword oil may seem simple and crude, but simplicity has its advantages, namely its versatility.

As for the Wild Hunt, to be honest, when I played the game back then, I thought they were some kind of powerful undead army, but... that's it?

A bunch of elves who've blown up their own world, and they're an endangered species! Instantly, the Wild Hunt lost all its prestige in Li Wei's mind.

In particular, the frost effect when the door opens is not their magic, but rather their world being eroded by frost, which they send over when they open the portal. It seems like a deception, but it makes perfect sense.

As for why the Wild Hunt hasn't launched a large-scale invasion of this world, is it because they didn't want to?

This thing in front of them could easily crush the so-called King of the Wild Hunt.

Li Wei simply pulled out a handheld game console that he used to kill time and handed it over.

He just smiled when he saw this thing.

"Looks like you understand me. But forget about it, I already have it. I have all the Dark Souls achievements, it's just a bit annoying not to have it in hand."

Li Wei understood. This collector and amusement seeker wanted something he'd never seen before. He reached behind his back and pulled out several trigger pots.

He placed it on the table and then took out a small bucket of Onion Bro's liquor.

Consider it my treat to a drink.

Upon seeing the wine, Gangte couldn't wait to grab it, open the lid, smell it, and then raised his glass to Li Wei with a satisfied expression.

"I've wanted to try this for a long time. May the King of Cinder be with the sun."

He took a sip, then put the cap back on, exhaling a breath that seemed to glow with sparks, his face flushed, and shook his head violently.

"Phew~ As expected of something born from flames, this liquor is strong enough. I can only have a small sip now and then. If I drink too much, I'll have to say I can't take it anymore. Ugh~ I feel like it's burning my stomach."

Elemental wine, combined with the undead's nature, naturally contains fire element, brewed from souls ignited by a campfire.

A hint of disappointment flashed in Li Wei's eyes. It was a pity that Gantt hadn't been drunk to death, otherwise he would have made a fortune.

However, it's not surprising that the Greater Demons have fire resistance or immunity; they're almost of the same origin as them, and they all feed on souls.

Gantt put the things away and took out a black soul from the small pocket hanging from his chest, handing it to Li Wei.

"This is for the drinks. This world has a world of the dead, so there are naturally guides to protect souls. Although this world is a sieve, few people in other worlds would eat and take things like we do. People come and their souls stay behind."

The occasional disappearance of one soul is fine, but your actions are too drastic. The disappearance of dozens of souls at once is bound to attract their attention.

Li Wei took the clump of soul before him, realizing it was a hot potato, but he figured throwing it into the fire would probably burn it for a while.

Li Wei wouldn't back down. At worst, he'd just die and go back. If he could defeat one of them, he'd gather his men and fight the underworld of this world.

Seeing that Li Wei accepted it without hesitation, Gangte revealed a big smile of amusement, stood up and bowed to Li Wei.

"Great hero, now only ashes without a flame, please allow me to take my leave."

Gangt straightened up and quickly clapped his hands twice. Time began to flow, and the next second, the innkeeper came out of the kitchen carrying a plate of roasted pheasant.

"guest?"

"No, no, no, I'm just a mirror merchant, doing some business with the knight. By the way, do you want a mirror?"

"No need, thank you."

"That's a shame."

Ignoring the conversation between Gantt and the boss behind him, Li Wei stared blankly at the table, thinking to himself, "A world with gods is really troublesome. I need to speed things up and get my hands on the formula before I'm discovered."

.....

To save time, Li Wei abandoned his horse and pulled out his bicycle, pedaling with both legs wide open.

When encountering checkpoints or city gates along the way, one could simply take out a badge and flash it, and the guards would simply let one pass, so as a privileged class, one did not have to queue.

Faced with those envious, jealous, and hateful eyes, Li Wei realized that the reason he disliked the boss back then was simply because he wasn't the boss.

Li Wei felt somewhat uncomfortable being stared at with strange looks the whole way.

After entering the city, he carried his sword on his back, and the curious glances from others lessened considerably. He headed straight for the dock to find someone.

In ancient times, when communication was difficult, there was only one way to find someone: if you had trouble, turn to the underworld.

At that time, the docks were still dwarven territory, and the Church of Eternal Fire wasn't as insane as it would become a few years later, but it was pretty much the same now.

Finding gangsters is easy; they're usually a group of three or five carrying weapons, leaning against a wall and bragging, or sitting there drinking. But it seems like all gangsters in the world are like that.

You can find it easily.

"Hey guys, do you know where I can find a cat's eye job nearby?"

As a dwarf, even if he hadn't eaten pork, he had seen pigs run, so naturally he wouldn't believe that the greatsword on Livy's back was just a piece of wood wrapped in iron.

However, since they're taking money, they have to maintain order here. Cat's Eye isn't a good person; who knows if he has any enemies, especially since Li Wei looks like he's a formidable fighter.

"There is a peephole, but why are you looking for it?"

Li Wei is also very outspoken.

"Buy things."

The dwarf looked Li Wei up and down and asked.

"How many do you want to buy?"

"Let me see the stock; I'll buy as much as you have."

Sensing something was amiss, Li Wei took out a small gold bar, pinched off a small piece, and tossed it over to the group of dwarves, who stared at him with amusement.

"Don't try to be clever, your bones aren't as hard as gold bars."

"The important thing is that you don't cause trouble. Come with me."

The dwarf led Li Wei around the dock for a while, then pointed to a large ship and said...

"The peephole you're looking for is up there. It's best not to kill anyone, or at least not to make it too gory."

When Li Wei went up to find him, he discovered a witcher, but not the weak wolf he had imagined. Instead, he found a human trafficker cat named Kaladin who hadn't yet retired from his life of crime.
