The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon pierced the Holy Light Knight's shoulder with his sword and nailed him to the stone wall.

After the holy light dissipated, he found that the Holy Light Knight had become listless.

This is completely different from the situation at McLaren.

McLaren did not appear to be in a weakened state after he released his transformation.

"Is it the difference between active removal and passive removal? Or has the magic in this guy's body been completely consumed?" Leon asked puzzledly.

"You... you are finished, witcher... the bishop will not let you go! You will be punished by the true God!" said the Holy Light Knight weakly.

Leon glanced at the other person. Would the bishop let him go?

Now, these missionaries may not be able to save themselves!

When he jumped down from the ground, he saw broken glass jars and some dead experimental subjects all around him.

Not only that, the underground was filled with a magical aura, which seemed to be emanating from some stone platforms.

He also vaguely saw some strange runes on the stone platform, which should be magic runes.

These things don't seem like something Fred and his team could come up with.

He visited Fred's laboratory and learned about what he was doing.

They are still far from being able to create living creatures, and if it weren't for the goblin cells brought by the missionaries, they probably wouldn't have achieved what they have today.

After all, they are just ordinary humans.

Combined with the current situation, the appearance of this Holy Light Knight and Madison also appeared in the sewer.

Then the truth is self-evident.

The goblins were created by the missionaries, and they were also the ones who released them.

But why did one with a nameplate appear? It might be a mistake.

But now everything is speculation. He has to ask to find out the truth.

Leon pulled out the special steel sword, and the Holy Light Knight screamed and fell to his knees.

"Let...let me go...you can't kill me..." The Holy Light Knight said weakly while leaning against the wall.

Leon put away his special steel sword and stretched out his hand to wave it at the Holy Light Knight.

Axis Seal!

In the past, the Axis Sign would be useless against the Holy Light Knight.

But it’s different now. The opponent is very weak both physically and mentally. This is his chance.

"What's your name?" Leon asked.

"Paul Belko Russo..." the Holy Light Knight said in a daze.

"Answer me, what is your purpose for coming to Nilfgaard?" Leon decided to complete the conscription mission first, so he asked.

"Preach...spread the faith..." Paul said in a trance.

Leon nodded slightly, it was indeed the case.

"Release the monsters...save the mortals...collect believers..." Paul continued.

Leon guessed it.

Traditional temples accept believers by generally providing alms during years of natural disasters, providing shelter to ordinary people during wars, and providing free medical care, distributing medicines, praying for ordinary people in peacetime.

These methods are effective, but the cycles are very long, measured in hundreds of years.

The temples on the mainland, regardless of their beliefs, have all come this way and are more deeply rooted in people's hearts.

There are also religions that developed in a short period of time, such as the Eternal Fire that arose in the northern countries two hundred years ago.

This is a religion that developed during the war years, taking advantage of people's hatred of war, non-human races, and wizards.

The original meaning of religion is "an everlasting flame, a symbol of survival, a path through darkness, or a promise of a better future."

But the resentment of war, people's hatred of non-human races, and fear of unknown forces made this religion increasingly radical.

During the Northern Expedition of the Nilfgaard Empire, the Eternal Flame quickly expanded to the entire northern kingdoms, and even the Temple of Meliteli was destroyed by the Eternal Flame believers.

The Eternal Flame was also one of the main driving forces behind the witch hunt. It can be said that the development of the Eternal Flame during this period had reached its peak.

But in the same way, more than 20 years later, the Catriona plague that swept across the northern countries also caused severe damage to the Eternal Flame, and it continued to weaken in the following years.

The plague cannot be ended by just passion; it requires effective drug treatment.

Advanced medical technology is often in the hands of wizards, temple priests, and non-human races.

Obviously, they do not possess any of these eternal fires, and opposing wizards and magic is their purpose.

In the face of death, people will believe in whoever can save lives.

Therefore, during the plague, the surviving wizards suddenly became saviors, and the wizards who were persecuted in the witch hunt movement also became saints.

Priests and doctors of non-human races also "put aside their past grudges" and began to prepare magic potions to save the sick people.

The Eternal Fire was originally generated by the persecution of these people, and now it is naturally destroyed by this.

“Does the True God Church also want to take this path?

If they really spread these monsters, they could indeed gather a large number of believers in a short period of time…” Leon pondered in his heart.

Once the True God Church really develops in this way, no one can bring them down unless someone can expose the evil deeds of the True God Church to everyone.

The Eternal Fire had bad luck at the beginning. No one in the church knew how to make magic potions, and they offended the people who knew the formulas of magic potions. Then they encountered a plague and were destroyed.

But the True God Church is different. Both missionaries and defenders know magic, and very powerful magic.

"In how many countries has your True God Church been active?" Lyon asked.

"The entire... continent..." Paul said.

Leon fell silent.

The entire continent...it seems that the Nilfgaard Empire is their last stop.

After all, the Nilfgaard Empire's homeland is in the southernmost part of the continent.

"How are defenders classified? And how are missionaries classified?" Leon asked.

"The first is the Apprentice Guardian, followed by the Silver Knight, the Platinum Knight, and then the Gold Knight, collectively known as the Holy Light Knight.

Missionaries are divided into believers, saints, priests, bishops, regional bishops, and popes. "Paul answered honestly. Under the influence of Axis Fayin, he had no ability to resist at all.

What's more, Leon's mental strength has been strengthened, making it even more impossible for him to resist.

“The missionaries are divided into very detailed categories…” Leon muttered, and then he continued to ask, “What exactly does the so-called blessing of the true God mean?”

When Paul mentioned this, his expression suddenly became struggling, and then his confused eyes gradually became clear.

"what!!!!"

He suddenly screamed in pain, his body fell to the ground, twitching and convulsing, and white foam began to emerge from the corners of his mouth.

After a while, he stopped moving.

Leon quickly squatted down to check, then breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he didn't die, he just fainted.

"It seems that this blessing of the True God should be the core secret of the True God Church, otherwise there would not be a special curse to prevent the information from leaking." Lyon thought.

He originally wanted to ask other questions, but that was not possible now.

In order to prevent the blessing of the True God from leaking out, the True God Church specifically cursed these believers.

Paul had just fainted now, and he couldn't guarantee that if he woke the other party up and interrogated him again, the curse would further take effect and would not cost him his life.

Paul couldn't die, at least not in his hands.

Leon carried Paul and returned the way they came.
