The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"Oh my god, what on earth are these!"

Inside the sewer, Madison looked at the large number of monsters soaked in glass tubes in front of him, and his voice trembled.

-

Half an hour ago, they got lost in the sewer.

This is quite unacceptable, as dwarves and gnomes are very good at operating underground.

Their mines have extensive roads extending in all directions, and many of them contain magnetic mines, which makes the interference even more serious.

But they can come and go freely without being disturbed.

In addition to their own stronger anti-interference capabilities, they also have a variety of anti-interference equipment.

Ratak and the dwarf may not have enough equipment, after all, they are not miners.

But there are some preparations, such as the anti-interference compass in Retak's hand. This thing is not only used in mines, but also very useful during adventures.

But, they got lost.

The compass was about to smoke in Retak's hand, which meant that the magnetic field interference around it seriously exceeded the compass's anti-interference capability.

Then Retak took out a few more things, but they all turned out to be ineffective.

They were going around in circles and couldn't reach their destination at all.

"Why do you put so many magnets in the sewer?" Madison said speechlessly.

After finally finding a way to sneak into the manor to investigate, they ended up getting lost underground!

"Of course it's to prevent people from sneaking in from underground! Otherwise, why do you think we dwarves would build such a wide sewer?" Zival said with a squint.

He took off his helmet, scratched his messy hair and muttered, "This shouldn't be the case. Our anti-interference compass is the latest one. It can't be blocked by something thousands of years old!"

Madison corrected him: "Magnetic fields don't care whether you are new or not, they only care whether you are useful or not!"

"Bullshit, after thousands of years, the magnetism of the magnet will weaken!" Zivar retorted impatiently.

He is in a very upset mood. Camilla is waiting for him to rescue him, but now he is trapped in the sewer.

Madison snorted coldly and did not respond.

He held back his nausea, stroked the stone wall of the sewer and asked, "Do you know what a magnet looks like? Can we dig it out? It might be useful."

Retak shook his head and said, "No, the magnets are built into the stone wall. It would be a waste of time to dig them out. Unless there are drawings of the construction at that time, no one knows where each magnet is placed.

Even if the engineer who designed this place came, it would be useless, not to mention that the engineer has long been dead."

Madison frowned.

The stench in the sewer made him feel sick, but he could endure it because it was the only way to enter the manor at the moment.

But now it seems that they have no choice but to turn around and leave, as there is no entrance or exit nearby.

"What are you doing?" Madison turned around and saw the dwarf taking some strange things out of his pocket.

"Cast a spell!" Zival said in a muffled voice.

"Cast a spell!" Madison asked in surprise, "Are you a wizard?"

"I'm not a wizard, but I'm a blacksmith!" Zival said as he took out something.

Madison still didn't understand: "Does the blacksmith know magic?"

Zival was stunned, and looked at Madison as if he was a fool and said, "Who told you that magic is exclusive to wizards? Druids can also use magic, but they are not wizards!"

"Then you are not a druid either!" Madison continued.

Zival probably understood what this guy was struggling with, and he said unhappily, "Sir, don't human blacksmiths know how to enchant?"

Madison was stunned.

Zivar stuffed something that looked like sawdust into his hand, and there seemed to be some grass roots or something.

"Hurry, help me chew it up. I can't handle so much by myself." He gave some more to Retak, then stuffed the rest into his own mouth and chewed it hard.

Madison watched as Retak followed suit and chewed without saying a word. He hesitated for a moment and then learned to chew as well.

"Ah!!! What's that taste!" Madison felt an extremely bitter taste in his mouth, and even his tongue was a little numb.

"Don't spit it out! This is the root of gate grass, it's very expensive! Chew it into pieces and then spit it out here." Zival took out a small bowl while chewing.

Madison's facial features were twisted together. He looked at Retak, and the dwarf's tears came out.

Soon the three of them finished chewing their food and spit it into the bowl in Zivar's hand.

"Puh, puh, puh! Ah!!!" Madison spat hard. His mouth now felt bitter and numb and he felt very uncomfortable.

"Now can you tell me what you want to do?" He frowned, thinking that things should not be simple.

While pouring dwarven liquor into the mixture in the bowl, Zivar explained, "To prepare the enchanting potion, this step should be done together with quenching, but now we don't have the conditions, so we can only do it this way.

I hope I remember correctly..."

Then, Madison heard the dwarf mumbling something. He couldn't understand it, but he was sure it was not Mandarin.

"...Ah Kulu, Arusha!" After the dwarf finished the last spell, he took the compass and torch handed over by Ritak.

He dropped the compass into the bowl and used a torch to light the alcohol inside.

puff--

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky, illuminating the surroundings as if it were daytime.

Of course, it was only for a moment.

Zivar took the compass out of the bowl again, and Madison saw that at this moment, a circle of light red light appeared on the surface of the compass.

"Hurry up, hurry up, there's only half an hour, maybe not enough." Zival urged Retak.

Retak took the compass, adjusted it for a moment, then pointed to a passage ahead and shouted excitedly: "This way! This way!"

"Let's go, follow me!" Zival packed up his things and followed immediately.

Madison followed immediately and asked in confusion: "Is this the magic you mentioned?"

"Otherwise! I'm a blacksmith, and the magic I master must be enchanting technology!" Zival said as a matter of course, "The magnetic field here must be too strong, or there must be some other interference or something.

I re-enchanted the compass to make it three or four times more stable!"

Only then did Madison understand the significance of what Zival had just done.

Since it is impossible to destroy the magnetic arrangement inside, it is better to enhance the compass's anti-interference ability.

This can be considered a disguised solution to the problem.

He exclaimed, "This is the first time I've seen enchantment done this way!"

“Of course, but it would be a waste of materials and time is very short.

Normal enchantment is done along with weapon quenching, so the enchantment effect will last much longer, several years or even decades!"

Zivar said in a deep voice: "I would never have done this in the past!

I have enough materials to enchant a whole set of armor, but I don't have time to waste now!"

The dwarf's face became extremely gloomy, and Madison could feel the anger released from him.

It seems that the materials just now were not cheap.

With the help provided by the dwarves, Madison found what he wanted before the enchantment time expired.

-

"This laboratory is actually underground! And it's so large! These people deserve to die!" Madison said coldly as he looked at the experimental subjects in front of him.
