Chapter 190 Putting aside the facts, is there nothing wrong with the world?
Then, Toussaint returned to a period of peace.

Until a liar named Plegmont was discovered and brought out by the wise and powerful Fringilla.

After performing a large memory recovery spell, Plegmont took the initiative to admit that his so-called "miracles" were all fake.

The Toussaints were now furious.

Plegmont had deceived so many people before, from nobles to commoners, all of them were fooled by him.

Even Duchess Carloberta almost believed his lies and planned to allocate a huge sum of money to him to build a huge and magnificent statue of Lebioda.

What’s even more shocking is yet to come.

The "good deeds" that Plegmon did were not just about defrauding people of their money. He claimed that his ability to perform "miracles" was taught to him by Lebioda in a dream.

This made many female believers who converted to Lebioda worship Plegmont.

There's no need to go into detail about what a liar can do by taking advantage of the admiration of beautiful women, right?

All in all, what Plagemont did in Toussaint was so heinous that the Duchess and the nobles felt that simply beheading or hanging Plagemont would be too lenient.

So after several days of discussion, a noble who had been badly cheated by Plagemont offered to give up his honor and sell Plagemont to the Nilfgaard Merchant Guild as a slave.

The Nilfgaard Merchants Guild has a significant influence on the political life of the empire. Although it is nominally a commercial organization, it is actually closely connected with the empire's politics, military, diplomacy, etc.

Every time the emperor wanted to launch a war of expansion, he could get enough war funds from the Merchant Guild to support the army's early campaigns.

Every time the empire expanded its territory, the Merchant Guild would buy all the able-bodied slaves from the army at the lowest price.

Then they are sent to wherever labor is needed.

The misery of these slaves cannot be described in words. Even the bard's argumentative words seem pale and powerless in the face of cruel facts.

The people of Toussaint all agreed that this was the place for Plegmont to go.

The silver lining is that, although Plegmont committed a heinous crime, Lebioda's followers were innocent.

With Fringilla personally guaranteeing them, the Toussaints who did not believe in Lebioda did not make things too difficult for them.

Lin En didn't pay attention to the disturbances in the outside world.

A few days later, he was invited to the Beauclair court again.

Duchess Carolberta did not summon him to the audience room as usual.

But on a balcony overlooking the sparkling waters in the distance.

There were only a few attendees, and besides the Duchess herself, only Fringilla and a few guards were present.

Unlike last time, besides Count Raymond, he was also accompanied by a large group of nobles.

"Master Demon Hunter, I heard that you will be leaving Toussaint soon?"

"Yes, Your Highness, my companions and I came to Toussaint for you. Now that you have recovered, it is time for us to leave."

"Don't you plan to stay? Lady Fringilla told me before that you make a living by hunting monsters. Even if there were no monsters left in Toussaint, I would be happy to give you some official positions. I think the taxpayers wouldn't mind me using their taxes to support you."

Lynn performed a chivalric salute.

"I appreciate your generosity, Your Highness, the Glorious Duchess, but the reasons for our departure are complex, so I must decline your offer."

Duchess Carloberta said regretfully.

"Since you've come this far, I won't try to persuade you to stay. But please remember, the gates of Toussaint will always be open to you, Master."

The witcher thanked the Duchess again for her kindness.

Then, Duchess Carolberta finally revealed the real purpose of inviting Lynn over.

"I heard that demon hunters are experts at removing curses. Can you really remove any curse?"

Lynn thought about it and considered it.

"It depends on the situation, Your Highness, the Glorious Duchess. Not all curses can be lifted. The specific circumstances are very complicated. I can only tell you that some curses can be lifted, while others are beyond the reach of even witchers."

A look of obvious disappointment flashed across Duchess Carloberta's face.

But as the ruler of Toussaint after all, she quickly concealed her emotions.

"If that's the case, then Master... do you understand the Black Sun Curse?"

Lynn thought for a moment and gave an explanation.

"The Curse of the Black Sun, also known as the Curse of the Dark Sun or the Curse of the Black Sun, is a prophecy made by a sorcerer named Eltibald."

"He predicted that human civilization would ultimately be destroyed by sixty girls born during or after a specific solar eclipse."

Seeing that Lin En spoke so clearly, the Duchess couldn't help but look forward to it: "Then can you lift the Black Sun Curse?" Lin En answered without hesitation: "No."

Because judging by the depictions in novels and games, the Black Sun Curse most likely does not exist.

Naturally, something that does not exist cannot be eliminated.

The reason why Lin En believes that the Black Sun Curse does not exist is actually very simple.

In Geralt's demon hunting career, he encountered three children of disaster:
One is Sienna, the granddaughter of Duchess Carloberta, who will cause a bloody storm in Beauclair more than 20 years later;

The other was Eskar's unexpected child, her name was Deidre Admaine, and she was the princess of Kangongen.

The last one is Renfri, the princess of the small northern country of Creyden.

In addition to the three children of disaster that Geralt encountered, dozens of girls from wealthy families or noble births were killed by the Warlock Brotherhood and then dissected.

Without exception, the warlocks did not notice any difference between them and normal girls.

Then the problem is coming.

Even if a demon hunter has physical fitness slightly better than that of an ordinary person, the characteristics of his organ mutation can be found after dissection. Spellcasters such as warlocks and sorceresses whose bodies have been transformed by magic can also be found to be different from ordinary people after dissection.

Why are these sons of disaster, who possess the power to destroy the world that even legendary sorcerers don't have, not even the slightest bit different from ordinary people?

What is going on here?
Moreover, Lady Beniga, who ruled the Targo Kingdom, was also the child of disaster who bore the curse of the black sun.

Although people have not destroyed the world yet, Targo is full of crosses, on which are nailed those who have hurt her in the past.

Why doesn't the Warlock Brotherhood send people to raze Targo City now?

Just like they did to the Witcher Castle.

No matter how many defenders there are in Talgo City, they will definitely not be able to withstand the joint spellcasting of multiple warlocks.

But why don't they do it?
Lynn knew why they didn't.

It’s because Lady Benedict is different from the witcher.

She was born into a noble family, with aristocratic blood flowing in her body, and now she has become a member of the ruling class with great power.

She and the powerful kings and nobles of the northern countries are "one of us" and belong to the same class.

If the Warlock Brotherhood really dares to destroy the city of Targo in the name of saving the world, they will be boycotted, isolated and excluded by the entire North tomorrow.

Their status will drop to a level even lower than that of the witchers, and they will become completely degraded into rats crossing the street, with everyone shouting and beating them.

When the child of disaster is a young lady from a wealthy family, or a daughter of a noble royal family, the warlock brothers can imprison and kill her in the name of saving the world.

Because whether it is a wealthy family or an aristocratic royal family, they will not have only one daughter.

One less is nothing.

But once these sons of disaster truly gain power, the situation will be very different.

They are no longer weak sheep, but lion kings leading a pride of lions.

At such times, the Brotherhood of Warlocks can only pretend that the Prophecy of Eltibald does not exist.

Besides, the world is big.

It's not just this continent.

On the other side of the sea, there are countries called Ofir and Zangweba.

This continent is only the world known to people, not the whole world.

The influence of the Warlock Brotherhood can only cover the southern bank of the Yaruga River, namely Cintra and Toussaint.

It has no effect on Nilfgaard and Zerekan on the other side of the Blue Mountains.

It is even more impossible to control Ofir and Zangweba across the sea.

Then the problem comes again.

When a solar eclipse occurs, are only girls born in the north born with original sin?

Could it be that girls born in Nilfgaard, Zerekan, Orphiel, or Zangweba won't be cursed by the Black Sun?
Moreover, since it is mentioned in the prophecy of Eltibald, one hindered son is enough to destroy the world.

There are so many sons of disaster living in the world, but the world has not been destroyed and is still living well.

Lin En even said something unpleasant: if such a big world was destroyed just because of a girl born during a solar eclipse, what would that mean?
It just means the world isn't working hard enough.

Putting aside the facts, even if the Son of Calamity really destroyed the world, even if the Son of Calamity was 99% wrong, does that mean the world is not at fault at all?
