I'm not a Witcher anymore.

Chapter 144 Heaven's Salvation

As Zig's left hand firmly gripped the bow handle, and two fingers of his right hand hooked onto the bowstring, he exerted a sudden burst of force—

creak—

The dull thud of a bow bending echoed through the warehouse.

The bow had an astonishingly high draw weight, yet his arm remained as steady as a mountain, without the slightest tremor.

As the bowstring was drawn to its fullest extent, Zig's breathing and muscle exertion became perfectly integrated.

He doesn't even need to look to sense the distance, offset, wind speed, and landing point.

Then, he slowly released the bowstring.

It's not about shooting, but about gradually lowering the bowstring back into place along with the tension.

He looked at the Shahbaz Bow in his hand and nodded in satisfaction.

"I accept this gift as a token of my gratitude."

Team leader Ophir bowed again.

"It is an honor for it to fall into the hands of an adult like you."

After watching Ophir and his guards leave with the wagons full of their recovered goods, Sieg returned to the "Spear Cave" tavern.

He took a small item out of the book of adventure.

That was a wood carving of the fire-bringing tree given to him by Tamara.

"Hint: A magical item containing powerful magic has been discovered! Absorbing it will recharge the Book of Adventure. Absorb it now?"

【whether】"

His consciousness, like a finger, gently touched down.

The next moment, he felt the wooden carving in his hand gradually becoming lighter.

It's not a reduction in weight in a physical sense, but something more fundamental is being lost.

It's like a container full of water being slowly poured out, with the contents decreasing little by little.

This process lasted about half a minute.

After everything was over, the wood carving for passing on the fire looked exactly the same as before.

But now it really is just an ordinary wood carving.

"Notification: The new dungeon world in the [Page of All Realms] has been unlocked."

The book of adventure deep within my mind automatically turned, passing over the pages already filled with pictures and text, and stopping at a brand new chapter.

It was two full pages of a complete map of Bohemia, stained with dark red and burnt black.

The map was no longer made of smooth parchment, but rather of tattered leather stripped from the battlefield, stained with dried blood.

At the center of the image, the once prosperous cities of Rattay, Sasau, and Skaritz are now shrouded in thick, leaden-gray clouds.

The edges of the map appear to be charring and burning, with tiny sparks flickering on the paper, symbolizing the war spreading wildly from the border into the heartland.

The lower half of the image is a suffocating black swamp.

The thick, filthy mud seemed to burst through the paper, relentlessly devouring the village and farmland.

Within these quagmires, countless ordinary people, though depicted with remarkable detail, are struggling:

The emaciated peasants, barefoot in knee-deep mud, fled in vain with their last rations, the menacing silhouettes of Cuman cavalrymen looming behind them.

On the left side of the image, a makeshift shack has been destroyed by a flood, and people are reaching out their hands for help in the icy torrent.

On the right is a village reduced to ashes, with a gaunt old man kneeling on the scorched earth, silently wailing at the hazy sky.

The entire map lacked any bright colors, consisting only of rusty red, earthy brown, and despairing gray.

The Latin place names that mark the towns don't look like landmarks; they look more like epitaphs carved on tombstones.

The instance world "Kingdom Come: Deliverance" has been unlocked. Enter now?

"Note: Time will stop in the main world after entering the instance world; it will return to normal upon returning to the main world."

Kingdom of God Salvation?

He had originally thought that the wood carving related to fire would take him to a world that was also related to fire.

But the Book of Adventures obviously doesn't work that way.

It absorbs only the magic contained in the wood carving, not the faith represented by the wood carving itself.

"Hint: A special item, the 'Evidence Box,' has been detected in the Book of Adventure. Do you wish to use it? If not, the 'Scroll Holder' will enter Heaven as a civilian to save the world."

Zig thought about it carefully.

His foothold in the Witcher world is already firmly established, so there's absolutely no need to waste the precious 'Evidence Box' here. As for the other dungeon worlds, they'll most likely be decided by sword and blood, where strength reigns supreme.

Instead of letting this item gather dust, which may never be used, it's better to use it and turn it into a real advantage at the start of the new dungeon.

"Hint: You have used the special item 'Evidence Box'. Please select your royal family identity in the Kingdom Come: Gods and Gods world-saving mission:"

As the mind touched the page, lines of royal family names, emitting a faint glow, appeared on the pages.

Not only the current royal family, but also the old royal families that have long disappeared into the annals of history, and even some families that have not yet risen to prominence but will become famous throughout Europe in the future.

Zig's consciousness scrolled down until it stopped at the very end of the list.

The Luxembourg Family

Yes.

Since the instance world we're going to is Bohemia in 1403, why not choose the true masters there—the Luxembourg family?

"You have acquired the identity of the Luxembourg family. Please read the relevant background information carefully."

Note: The above information is merely a 'legitimate identity and cognitive anchor' woven for you by the Book of Adventure. The wielder will descend into this world in their true form (including your current body, attributes, skills, and equipment), not through soul possession.

"Identity selection complete. The 'Scroll Holder' is about to enter Heaven to save the world."

Zig opened his eyes.

The first thing you see is a mottled ceiling.

The air was filled with a musty, stale smell.

This is an abandoned farmhouse.

Two of the four earthen walls have partially collapsed and are barely held up by a few crooked wooden pillars; they could collapse completely at any moment.

Through the cracks in the wall, one could see the outside world: a crooked fence, a collapsed livestock shed, and field ridges swallowed by weeds.

This is a completely abandoned village, abandoned for who knows how long, and the whole place exudes an aura of death.

"Your Highness, you've finally woken up."

The voice came from Zig's right, carrying a clear sense of relief.

-

He turned his head to look.

A young servant in his early twenties crouched in front of the broken window, his body pressed against the wall, only half his face showing, cautiously peering out.

He held a crossbow, already cocked, with the bolt in its slot and the arrow pointing diagonally out the window. He could pull the trigger immediately at the slightest movement outside.

He was clearly not just a servant who attended to his daily needs, but someone who had received practical training under his master.

"The bandits haven't discovered our hiding place yet."

The servant said in a low voice, "Zi Guang has never left the window."

"This abandoned village is not small, with at least twenty or thirty houses. They will have to search each one one by one, which will take a lot of time."

"If we keep quiet, they might leave once they've searched and found no one."

robber?

Before Zieg could think it through, the book of adventure in his mind had already been opened.

Lines of text appeared on the pages of the book.
