Chapter 589: Cleaning
Chapter 589: Cleaning
So, Alexander became the King of Novigrad without even asking. The next thing he did was clean the streets, both, literally and figuratively.
Yennefer had told Alexander that there were four big bad bosses in Novigrad. The Big Four were leaders of Novigrad's criminal underground, with all of them vying to rule over Novigrad by any means necessary.
The four criminal leaders were:
Carlo Varese (Cleaver)
Cyprian Wiley (Whoreson Junior)
Francis Bedlam (King of Beggars)
Sigi Reuven (Sigismund Dijkstra)
Together, these four controlled every crime in the North's largest city, including pickpocketing, muggings, illegal arena fights and casinos, weapons smuggling, and taking contract killings.
Alexander told Dobby to wear nice shining armour and take some Faceless men with him in armour. They were to raid and destroy all the places owned by these four criminal leaders.
But Geralt said he wanted to come too as he needed to find Dandelion as he had found out that Ciri had contacted him.So, they went out to clean the streets. Meanwhile, Alexander told Iroh to go out and post a public announcement that people will be rewarded for killing rats. As many dead rats they bring, they would get more reward.
There were also a few more job postings, requiring street cleaners, bricklayers and road makers. Alexander had already turned the Eternal Fire temples into public offices. The biggest one being his.
"How do you do all this? The way you're acting it looks like you've done this hundreds of times." Yennefer asked. She had stayed back because she wanted to learn from Alexander.
"Haha, and you wouldn't be wrong. Yes, I have done this hundreds of times. I've seen too many worlds with broken governments and monarchs. I'm used to fixing stuff like this." Alexander revealed.
Yennefer's eyes widened, "What do you mean worlds?"
"Well, I travel the multiverse, just like the unicorns. This is my first time coming here." Alexander said.
"No wonder you seemed like you didn't know anything. So, what are you? Humans can't be multidimensional beings." She asked.
"I'm indeed a human, or I was. I'm a god now." Alexander answered.
Yennefer stayed silent for a while. "A god? What is a god? A being extremely powerful?"
"Hmm, it is hard to understand what a god is. Well, let's say, we are not bound by earthly rules. We can judge a person's soul. Send it to either hell, heaven or the cycle of reincarnation. I'm the son of GOD who made everything. You, me, this building, this planet, universe, Multiverse, space and time." Alexander answered her. He had no reason to hide such stuff because it eventually comes out in the open whenever he's about to leave.
Yennefer also took a seat, "This is... Shocking. To think that one's fate lies in someone's hands."
"No, you're wrong. Your fate was always in your hands from the start. You made the choices. You choose the path. After you die, you just get judged for what your life choices were.
"This is the reason most mortals can't fathom the thought of a real god. To them, it's enough as long as the god is just an idea. The day he becomes a person with flesh and bones, he'd be hunted and killed." Alexander explained to her.
"So, what god are you? There are types of gods right?" She asked.
"Oh, I'm God's Advocate. I work directly for my father. I'm responsible for purifying sins from different worlds. Help them get better and then leave for the next world." Alexander said.
"Hah, sounds like the dream job." She replied sarcastically.
"You believe me?" Alexander asked amusingly.
"Why not? You have that kind of godly aura." She said.
Then Yennefer finally asked the big question. "Can you help us find Ciri?"
"Sure, what does she look like and what's her story?" Alexander inquired.
Yennefer started telling him the story of how Ciri was born, her father's current status, the law of surprise, how Ciri has her fate connected with Geralt and how her father wants to use Ciri. To probably impregnate her and create offspring, hoping that they'd also have elder blood because one who has the elder blood is supposed to be very powerful. Then she explained what Elder blood was and what wild hunt was
"To me, she's like a daughter I could never have. To Geralt as well, she's like a daughter. So, for her, we are ready to do anything." Yennefer confidently stated.
"Oh, aren't these Wild Hunt guys the elves that forced the Unicorns to open the multiverse gate for them?" Alexander asked.
"What? I've never heard of this." She replied.
"So it's not common knowledge. Well, it doesn't matter. I will help you find her, protect her, defeat her evil father and also this wild hunt." Alexander replied.
"By the way, what do you mean you can't have your own daughter?" Alexander asked suddenly.
...
Meanwhile, Dobby had already bashed the heads of 3 crime lords by now. Dobby and Geralt had bonded during their fights together. They had each other's backs. Dobby even saved him from a rogue arrow. The only remaining one was the Whoreson Junior.
"So, how does one become a Witcher?" Dobby inquired.
Geralt was already friendly with the big elf so he answered, "We're taken in as children, then witchers-to-be are subjected to intense alchemical processes, consumption of mutagenic compounds, and relentless physical and magical training to make them dangerous and highly versatile against their vast array of opponents, many of which possess superhuman speed, strength or other deadly powers.
Only three or four survive out of ten to fully become a witcher."
"That is very sad. I can't imagine the pain the kids would go through." Dobby muttered.
"Well, they would've died of starvation or something anyway. But no one makes more Witchers now. For one, we lost the formula for the mutation potion and second, Witchers are no longer needed. With the rise of human civilization, monsters are being driven away or killed by huge hunting parties." Geralt said.
Soon, amidst their talks, they reached the place where Whoreson Junior was holed up. They quickly dismantled his goons and found the man.
But what sickened them was that there were corpses of various women. Some were alive too but with various injuries.
"So your name means much more than just being a name." Geralt remarked.
Dobby waved his hand and healed all of the alive women. "You can all go now."
"You are an animal," Dobby said to Whoreson.
"And who's saying that? A giant freak and a white-haired freak. I've been seeing a lot of you lately." Whoreson said while looking at Geralt.
"What do you mean? Did you see Ciri?" Geralt asked.
"Where is Dandelion?" He added.
After getting beaten to a pulp, Whoreson revealed everything. Dandelion was caught by the city guards and Ciri had run away again. But now they at least knew where the stupid bard was.
"Who is this Ciri you're after? Is she your daughter?" Dobby asked.
"No, but like a daughter." Geralt replied and sped his horse towards the prison.
...
Back at Alexander, he just found out about the price Yennefer had to pay for being fixed. "What? So you can't become a mother? No problem."
Alexander immediately took out a potion from his dimensional pocket and explained everything. "After this, I want you to help me find a nice match for my Elf friend. He's the God of All Elfs in the Multiverse but sadly, he's still single."
Yennefer chuckled, "Match for an Elf god? She is going to be tougher to find than even Ciri."
