The Witcher: Darkness Falls

When the secret investigation was brought to light, it was no longer Leon's turn to worry about what happened next.

The Emperor of Nilfgaard would naturally send someone to investigate this matter.

After all, what happened at Kalna Manor was simply too horrific.

Moreover, Madison and his friends found the monsters resurrected by the missionary in the sewer, and some of them ran away when they were fighting the Silver Knight Paul.

In other words, there are monsters roaming in the sewers of Nilfgaard City.

This is different from those that swim in from the swamp via drainage.

These monsters were recreated based on goblin cells and carry the genes of the goblins. Once they begin to reproduce, the city of Nilfgaard will be in danger.

Therefore, it is said that when Sheriff Falco reported the matter to the Emperor of Nilfgaard, the Emperor did not believe it.

Until the other party saw the corpses of those monsters, he even ordered Madison to be brought to the palace for treatment, mainly to inquire about the truth of the goblin matter.

After receiving Madison's affirmative answer, the emperor was furious and ordered the mayor of Nilfgaard to personally supervise the killing of these monsters before they multiplied in large numbers.

A large number of Nilfgaard soldiers entered the sewers holding torches and began to clear out the monsters inside.

Of course, this is a story for another day.

When the emperor issued the order to clear out the monsters in the sewers, Lyon was already on his way back to Grampian City.

He handed Paul over to Sheriff Falco, gave him a few brief instructions and left.

He wasn't worried about Paul waking up and running away.

Every country has a special prison cell for imprisoning wizards. The entire cell is decorated with magic-blocking metal and magic-blocking metal handcuffs, so there is no possibility for wizards to escape once they are locked up.

Although McLaren said that the True God believers were not wizards, their magic was also affected by the magic gold, so Paul would definitely not be able to escape.

The emperor also has a number of high-level wizard magic advisers, and with the skills of those soldiers, they will definitely be able to get more key information from Paul.

Afterwards, Leon learned from Zival what happened after they entered the sewer.

They entered the sewer and intended to sneak into the Karna Manor secretly, but they actually discovered the missionary's secret laboratory.

Madison wanted to collect evidence secretly, but was caught by Silver Knight Paul.

The battle is about to break out.

The dwarf and Madison confronted each other head-on, while the dwarf used his flexible body to interfere from the side.

The Silver Knight was concerned about the safety of the experimental subjects around him and did not dare to use his full strength.

But even so, Madison and his two companions continued to retreat, suffered serious injuries, and soon fell into a desperate situation.

Zivar discovered that the reason why Paul was so strong was because of the holy light armor around him.

So he suggested that Madison throw out the bombs he was carrying to kill the Silver Knight.

These bombs were brought by Madison from Grampian, mainly to deal with emergencies, such as goblins.

Zivar assured that the dwarven buildings were so strong that they would not collapse even from earthquakes, let alone from these bombs.

Madison believed him and dropped all the bombs.

The bomb injured the Silver Knight and also collapsed the roof of the sewer.

This was actually an accident.

The garden of Karna Manor is located right above this secret laboratory, and the space above was originally supported by a pillar.

But later someone built an artificial fountain in the garden, and placed it on a pillar.

Moreover, in order to allow the artificial fountain to spray water, some craftsmen modified the pillars and hollowed out the inside of the pillars.

In other words, the pillar had been destroyed long ago.

Madison blew up the stone pillar with several bombs, and then Leon bombarded it from the outside with the Alder Seal.

The artificial fountain fell completely and hit Paul who was struggling with the dwarf.

The dwarf crouched down, protected his head with his battle axe, and avoided the fatal attack.

Paul was not so lucky, he just endured it with his body.

That's basically what happened.

What a coincidence, Leon was investigating above the manor, while these people were investigating below the sewer.

Madison's bomb destroyed the magical glass container used to cultivate monsters and the stone pillars supporting the ground. It also cracked the ground, causing the magic to leak out, allowing Leon to sense it.

Otherwise, it would not be easy for Leon to investigate this laboratory hidden in the sewer.

As night fell, in an abandoned hunter's cabin, Leon lay beside a fire with his eyes closed.

He did not sleep, but was sorting out what had happened during this period and thinking about some things.

"The sewers in Nilfgaard are interconnected, and the monsters in them may be impossible to eliminate. These monsters will definitely follow the water flow into the swamp forest.

Even if these monsters are not goblins, according to Zivar, these monsters all have the characteristics of goblins, so they must carry the genes of goblins.

If their reproductive capacity is also strong, then the entire Nilfgaard region will be overrun with monsters.

Moreover, it is not just Nilfgaard, but also the northern countries. After all, as Paul said, the True God Church has been preaching throughout the continent. "

He now understood why McLaren refused to treat the villagers who were injured by the goblins in Crete Village even though he had holy water.

Next is the time when monsters are rampant. They have plenty of opportunities to reap believers and are not in a hurry.

In peacetime, people live a decent life and the spread of faith is slow.

But what about when monsters are rampant?

When faced with the threat of death, the rulers have no way to resolve it, wizards cannot be found, and magic potions are in serious shortage, that is their opportunity.

They created the monsters and they have all the information about them.

Moreover, holy light seems to have a strong restraining effect on these monsters.

Leon recalled the time when McLaren killed a goblin in the cave. The goblin ran away when he saw him, he must have sensed something.

It's like a curse. Even though these goblins were not the one that ran out of the laboratory, they were all bred from the original goblin.

These fears recorded in the genes are curses. Wizards in the past would also use curses to control their creations.

“Moreover, if we spread the monsters now, as long as no one finds out and we destroy the laboratory afterwards, no one will be able to find out anything. After all, with the special phenomenon of the celestial sphere intersection as a cover, wizards won’t be able to find out anything.” Leon thought to himself.

The intersection of the celestial spheres would cause different worlds to overlap, causing monsters from other worlds to come to their world.

Monsters also appeared during this period, and the True God Cult could completely attribute the appearance of monsters to the intersection of the celestial spheres.

Of course, they called it the coming of the red sun or the end of the world, which was just a good way to promote the True God religion.

The transformation of the Holy Light Knights is indeed intimidating, especially when they rush towards the monsters and the monsters flee in panic.

It’s just like the legend of an angel slaying a devil!

“It was probably an accident on Nilfgaard’s side. They let a goblin with a nameplate go free, and then the laboratory was accidentally exposed.

It’s just… this has little impact on the layout of the entire True God Church.” Leon pondered.

The experimental subjects had Fred's nameplate on them, the laboratory was also located below the Karna Manor, and the contents of the laboratory were related to the genetic engineering project passed by Nilfgaard.

In other words, apart from the secret underground experiments, the entire genetic engineering project was officially endorsed by Nilfgaard, with experts from the Imperial Academy's School of Biology and a large number of Nilfgaard nobles involved.

Even if the Emperor of Nilfgaard announced that it was the missionaries who conducted evil experiments and spread the monsters, probably no one would believe it.

Almost everyone would think that this was an experimental accident at the Imperial Academy and that the Emperor of Nilfgaard was covering up for them.

And the missionaries of the True God Church who saved the world were wronged!
