585 585. Alexander is not Welcome

With a thud, Alexander and Dobby found ground under their feet. Soon their eyes got used to the light and they looked around.

"Well, boss. From the architecture of that village, I'd say we're not in a modern world." Dobby deduced.

"Yes, let's check out the village first," Alexander replied, changing his modern clothes to normal grey robes.

They entered the village and found it to be filled with people in not very good clothing. It seemed as if the whole village was in poverty.

"Well, Dobby, if my guesses are right, then by the technological standard of this world, this village would be called a city," Alexander said.

"You're right, boss. Let's go to the pub and scoop out some info." Dobby pointed.

Alexander chuckled, "Oh, what's this? My elf friend is in a hurry to find his soulmate?"

Dobby rolled his eyes, "I'm just helping you, boss. I've left everything else on fate."

"Yeah, sure. Fate, haha." Alexander walked towards the village.

But as soon as he entered, he started feeling that the village dwellers were somewhat hostile towards him. They saw him with a tint of suspicion.

Alexander ignored them for now. He had no idea what kind of world this was. Was it a simple earth or was there some kind of magic involved too?

*Beep Beep*

"Took it long enough.* Alexander muttered as he took out his old phone and read the message.

"Okay, so I am a simple Wizard. This world is filled with all kinds of legendary species and magic. There are also some disturbances in space-time.

The world's purity is at... Woah, so low? It's at 45%" Alexander read everything.

Dobby was also taken aback. "45% is really low. Second only to Berserk's 30%."

"Let's keep our eyes open and look at what's going on around us." Alexander decided. But before he could move forward, a horde of people came towards him with flaming torches, wooden sticks, knives and some pointy farming tools.

"Woah, what's going on, people? Why so angry?" Alexander asked them.

"You are not welcome here, Witcher. We know your kind. Go away and take your filthy elf with you." One in the crowd shouted.

Alexander looked at Dobby's face and chuckled, "Haha, he's many things but filthy he's not. He baths 3 times a day. Also, why are you calling me Witcher? I don't even know what that means."

"Do you think we are jesting here? We know your kind. Your yellow eyes and that white hair. You are the Geralt of Rivia." A man from the crowds shouted.

Alexander felt that these people were too stupid to tell the difference in yellow colour and golden that his eyes were. So, he randomly checked the thoughts of one of them to learn where he was.

In the end, the man turned out to be a peasant and didn't know much. All he knew was about the nearby locations and general history of the world. Also the current king and the fact he had allowed the Church of Eternal Fire to start witch hunts to eradicate any and all magic users throughout the northern kingdoms.

He also learned about Witchers, some kind of superhumans, but didn't find the info on this Geralt of Rivia.

He was currently in a city called Rinde. Since the reign of King Heribert, Rinde's town council advocated the taxing of spells and, in general, was relatively hostile towards sorcerers.

Alexander decided to head to this nearby big city called Novigrad.

"Ah, okay, I will leave. But, are you sure you don't want new clothes?" Alexander asked and waved his hand. In an instant, the clothes of everyone present there got back to their new condition.

People gawked in shock.

"How dare you use your sorcery on us? KILL HIM.". People shouted and launched an attack on Alexander.

He just waved his hand and froze everyone in mid-air.

"Hold it right there. I'm leaving so you don't have to create problems anymore. I don't want to punch you all yet. Not before I learn everything." With that said, Alexander left the village.

All the Villagers got back to normal after 15 minutes. They were also guessing now if the man they just messed with was really Geralt of Rivia or some strong sorcerer.

But by then, Alexander had left the city behind. He walked straight towards the direction a farmer had pointed. Though this direction involved crossing a small forest and a river but it wasn't much of a problem for him.

However, when crossing the river, he found a creature. A Unicorn. Happily lying on a flat rock in the middle of the river and bathing in the sun. Its white fur was shining in the light, making the unicorn look fabulous.

Alexander didn't want to disturb the rest of such creature so he decided to pass by quietly. But, to Alexander's shock, the Unicorn got up and ran to him. It didn't look hostile for now as it was not pointing its horn at him.

"Easy now, I'm not here to harm you," Alexander spoke.

Unicorn simply nodded at that.

"You understand me?" Alexander inquired.

The Unicorn nodded. Suddenly, Alexander felt something trying to enter his mind. He felt it was from Unicorn so he let the Unicorn pass on his thoughts.

It turned out, the Unicorn was named Ulrik. He had come here after sniffing Alexander. Because for some reason, these Unicorns can smell if you are a good person and Alexander was a real god.

"Haha, so, what do you want from me?" Alexander asked and went forward to pet him. From the memory of the guy in the village, Alexander knew that Unicorns were considered mythical creatures to common folks but there were legends that they do exist and they were sentient multi-dimensional beings who are able to traverse the Multiverse.

"Nothing, I was just passing by and felt your presence. Didn't know it was God. Come, I'll give you a ride to wherever you want to go." The unicorn said politely via a mental connection.

Alexander chuckled, this was the first time he had seen a unicorn offering him a ride. Alexander ruffled his hair, "It's fine, Ulrik. We all can walk and talk. You are an intelligent being, not a simple horse."

Ulrik nodded with his big head, "Where are you headed?"

"Novigrad," Alexander replied.

"Oh, it's not too far from here. Follow me, I'll show you the way." The unicorn started walking away.

On their way, Ulrik told Alexander about the city they were headed to. Novigrad was a free city within Redania and therefore it was not subjected to the rule of that kingdom.

It was one of the major ports on the continent and was populated by nearly 30,000 inhabitants, making it one of the largest cities in the North.

Novigrad had many factories and was home to all manner of craftsmen offering every ware possible. The city was also home to numerous banks and even had a zoo. The Eternal Fire was said to protect the city's inhabitants from all evil, monsters included. The thick city walls had never been breached, as they were tactfully designed by the architects of the Oxenfurt Academy.

Novigrad was also inhabited by an unusually colourful group of both permanent residents and those in town on long and short-term visits. Most eye-catching amidst the throngs of common townsfolk, stall-keepers and craftsmen were those practising the more roguish professions. There was no army in the city but it did have a secret service, an ever-present Temple Guard, and a powerful Temple Fleet.

~With so many people, I believe we can find the right one.~ Alexander thought.
