The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Time flies, and another month has passed in the blink of an eye. Leon's wounds have recovered well and basically have no effect on his activities.

It was early February and the snow had stopped. Now the snow had started to melt and everything was beginning to show signs of revival.

Likewise, Leon was preparing to leave Visenna's cabin and head for Toussaint.

But before that, he planned to go to Styga, the birthplace of the Cat School of Witchers.

There was no purpose, I just happened to pass by and took a look.

"Are you ready to go?" Visenna asked as she watched Leon finish packing.

It was a rare day that she didn't go out to do errands so early today. She spent the whole morning sorting out the herbs and matching them.

"Yeah!" Lyon nodded.

In fact, he had already told Visenna a week ago about setting off today.

After all, after staying in her cabin for such a long time, she must inform in advance if she wants to leave. This is the most basic courtesy.

Visenna nodded and said, "The weather is nice today, suitable for traveling."

Leon nodded slightly, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I'm going to Toussaint. I never told you before."

"That's not necessary." Visenna said calmly, "If you feel you're fine, just go ahead. Be careful."

"Okay." Leon nodded.

He suddenly seemed to remember something, so he continued, "I remembered something. You are a druid, so I think I need to tell you something."

Visenna looked at Leon in confusion, her green eyes full of kindness, as if she was looking at her son.

Leon said: "In the future... there may be many monsters appearing in the forest, some of which may have been extinct for thousands or even tens of thousands of years."

Visenna was stunned, frowned slightly and asked: "Why do you say that?"

Then Leon briefly recounted what happened in Nilfgaard.

“This is the information I received, and I have also witnessed with my own eyes the reproduction speed of the goblins.

At that time, it was still the rainy season in Nilfgaard, and winter soon followed.

But now, these extinct monsters have strong reproduction capabilities, and... the True God Cult has deployed them all over the continent.

Now that spring is here, these monsters will probably multiply in large numbers.

However, I did not see any traces of these monsters in Aetolia and Mechit, so it is possible that they were not deployed at the same time."

Visenna frowned, a dark cloud rose over her heart, and her expression became extremely solemn.

Druids worship nature and are very opposed to a species destroying nature on a large scale.

And living things are an important part of nature.

If what Leon said is true, a group of extremely fertile and even aggressive chaos monsters suddenly appear, it will probably cause great damage to nature.

"In addition to the goblins, there are other monsters. These monsters all carry the genes of the goblins, but I don't know if they will inherit their reproductive ability..." Leon continued.

Goblins themselves are actually very easy to deal with. An adult, as long as they are brave enough, can kill a goblin with their bare hands.

It is even said that a local dog can easily bite a goblin to death.

What is terrifying about them is their powerful reproductive ability and highly infectious saliva.

One or two goblins are timid and stay away from the crowd.

But it would be terrifying if a large group of goblins gathered together. They dared to attack a village!

Furthermore, these little monsters will mate with humanoids, thus giving rise to other species of goblins.

If it's a hobgoblin, then it's not something an ordinary person can deal with.

Who knows what else they can interbreed with, there are many humanoid species in the world.

Once the goblins are allowed to reproduce in large numbers, it will be an extinction disaster for all species in the world today!

What’s more, those monsters are bred with goblin cells!

Lyon didn't see any living ones, but he saw some dead ones.

This kind of monster is more dangerous than the goblins. If it also inherits the goblins' terrifying reproductive ability, humans will probably have to send out the army if they want to fight it!

As a devout druid, Visenna obviously realized the seriousness of the problem.

"No wonder I've been feeling uneasy these past few months. I always thought it was because of the incident at Styga Castle, but I didn't expect it to be this... The God of Nature has already given us a warning..." Visenna said in a daze.

"Stygia Castle?" Leon asked in confusion, "What happened there?"

Visenna's expression quickly returned to normal. She looked at Leon and said, "You don't need to know this."

Leon was silent for a moment, and suddenly said: “I plan to go there before going to Toussaint.

So... please give me some news about Styga."

Visenna frowned and looked at Leon. Suddenly, she seemed to realize something and asked, "Are you going to find out about your origins?"

“You know…” Leon’s throat moved.

Visenna nodded, her eyes fell on Leon's chest, and she said meaningfully: "Despicable cat school witcher, if I were just a wizard, I would kill you.

But the druid's doctrine prevents me from ignoring a temporarily innocent life.

But... your behavior is very different from that of a Cat School witcher, and it doesn't seem like you're pretending."

A bitter smile appeared on Leon's face, and he quickly suppressed his emotions and said, "I was raised by a demon hunter from the Cat School, or rather, I was one of his test subjects..."

"To obtain the complete Demon Hunter mutation potion?" Visenna asked, taking over Leon's words.

Leon was a little surprised that the other party knew that.

“Don’t be so surprised. All wizards who know that period of history know what the School of Cats is looking for. This is also a shame for wizards.

So, the demon hunter from the Cat School succeeded?" Visenna asked with a smile, but there was no trace of smile in her eyes.

Leon shook his head and said, “No, it’s just that it’s slightly more successful than the mutation potion of the previous Cat School Demon Hunter.

If you look at me now, I'm actually no different from a normal... normal demon hunter.

But that's only because I didn't drink the witcher's potion.

Once I drink the demon hunter's potion, the recovery potion is fine, but other amplification potions, after I drink them, I still find it difficult to control my emotions. "

Visenna nodded, roughly understanding Leon's current situation.

The mutation is still incomplete and there are still flaws in his character, but they are not usually manifested.

"Do you want to go there to find the original sample of the Cat School Demon Hunter mutation potion and then continue that experiment yourself?" Visenna narrowed her eyes and her tone became a little heavy.

Leon shook his head and said, “I don’t have this plan, I have already seen the original cat school mutation potion.

I don't have the ability and won't conduct the next experiment.

I do want to fix my incomplete mutation problem, but not here. I plan to visit Kaer Morhen later.

I went to Styga Castle just to take a look, that's all."

Leon didn't notice that when he mentioned Kaer Morhen, Visenna's expression suddenly became nervous.

But that was only for a moment, and was quickly overshadowed by her other expressions.

"So, I hope you can tell me about Styga Castle." Leon said sincerely.

Visenna looked into Leon's eyes, exhaled, and then cast her gaze towards the mountains in the distance, and said softly: "Stig Castle? That's another bad debt..."
