The Witcher: Darkness Falls

As Lyon expected, the remains of the castle that had not collapsed still had a road leading to the outside world.

With her sense of the air flowing in the air, Visenna easily found this path.

This is the druid's talent, which is extremely close to nature.

If Lyon were to find the way by himself, it would probably take a lot of time.

They were climbing the stairs all the way, and there were traces of burns everywhere. Whenever they came across a room, Leon would go in to take a look.

Unfortunately, a fire broke out in the castle, leaving only ruins and some unburned bones inside the house.

As expected, these bones belong to a wizard.

"What's so good about it? Wizards are no different from humans. They also need to practice." Visenna said as she stood at the door.

"Wizards are all very rich. Let me see if I can pick up some gold coins or something." Leon said calmly.

In fact, this is his main purpose.

This is a castle after all, and people who own castles are very wealthy.

And the wizard gave him the impression of being a rich man.

Styga Castle is the territory of the wizards, so there should be many valuable things in it.

However, he entered several rooms in succession and did not find anything valuable.

There are no gold coins or silver coins in these ruins, not even ordinary currency.

There were only some burnt ceramic fragments and some deformed iron products.

These are not worth much.

"Haha, there are only two places where wizards have valuable things, either in the laboratory or on their bodies." Visenna laughed dryly, "If you can't find it on their bones, then it may be difficult to find it anywhere else.

Let's go, let's get out of here, I feel uncomfortable here."

Leon sighed, feeling a little disappointed.

However, when he thought about the great improvement in his physical condition this time, he felt content again.

"Let me take another look. That one looks like a bedroom. If there's really nothing there, let's leave here immediately." However, he still wanted to give it a try.

And as it happens, there is a room in the front that looks like a bedroom.

Visenna sighed helplessly and said, “Okay, but you have to be careful of evil spirits.

The spirits of wizards are much more powerful than those of ordinary people. If they have any magical items with them, they are likely to be transformed into evil spirits after death."

Leon was stunned, he had never encountered an evil spirit before.

"I shouldn't be so unlucky. After all, this place has been here for more than a hundred years." Lyon muttered to himself.

Suddenly, he remembered what the old woman had said before.

There are wizard ghosts wandering outside the castle ruins, but I don't know if they are real.

After all, for ordinary people, Styga Castle has been abandoned for hundreds of years and was once the territory of wizards.

In addition, wizards are now very mysterious to ordinary people. If something appears on the ruins of Styga Castle, such as fireflies.

People cannot see clearly from a distance, and when combined with rumors, there is a possibility that false information will spread, and then a ghost will appear.

No one is interested in fireflies, but some people are interested in ghosts.

Boring stories are neither attractive nor passed down. Stories that are passed down are always interesting.

However, although Leon was skeptical, he still pulled out the special steel sword.

Evil spirits are also considered a type of magical creature, and anti-magic metal is also effective.

Leon walked forward and came to the door, and suddenly, he was stunned.

"Visenna, come here!"

Visenna walked forward and was also stunned.

The outside of the room in front of them was covered with burn marks, and even the door of the room was burned.

But most areas in the room were intact!

There were only traces of burns near the door, but it was not completely burned.

Further inside, there were hardly any signs of burning.

Soon, their attention was drawn to the corpse on the chair in the house.

A corpse, dressed in ordinary clothes, was sitting in a chair with its head tilted back, as if it was asleep.

Judging from the faint magical power emanating from the corpse, Leon was certain that this man was a wizard when he was alive.

"He died because his magic was exhausted." Visenna said on the side, revealing the truth about the wizard's death.

“Died from exhaustion of magic?” Leon turned his head.

Visenna nodded and said, “The sign of becoming a formal wizard is that a magic seed of their own is born in their body, which is called a magic seed.

This is the most critical step. Once the magic seed is born in the body, it means that when the wizard casts spells, he no longer needs to rely on magic materials to provide magic power, but can rely on the magic seed.

Similarly, the demon seed will greatly extend the lifespan of the wizard. At this time, the life and death of the wizard are already firmly tied to the demon seed.

Once the magic power in a wizard's body is exhausted and not replenished in time, their magic seeds will shrink or even rupture, and the wizard will die.

Therefore, most wizards do not need to prepare any materials to cast small spells, but they still need to prepare materials to cast large-scale magic, which can reduce the burden on the demons.

Demon species will naturally weaken. After all, they can only extend the lifespan of wizards, not make them eternal.

When the demon species is completely dead, the wizard will die naturally.

The one in front of me must have been using the isolation technique for a long time to isolate himself from the flames, and eventually died due to exhaustion of magic power."

Leon suddenly realized, and he recalled his encounter with Stregobor.

If that old guy can hold on for another fifty years, the demon species will become weaker, and this cannot be violated.

He was eager to break the impasse and forcibly increase his lifespan in the manner of a demon hunter.

However, Lyon is not optimistic about this way of breaking the deadlock.

"It seems that the wizards who attacked here were fully prepared and were determined to kill all the wizards in Styga Castle.

I don’t know what deep hatred they have, otherwise this wizard would definitely be able to open the portal and escape.” Visenna said.

Leon nodded.

Judging from the burn marks inside Styga Castle, some of the stones were turned into powder, and the fire must have burned for several hours.

Look at the extent of the burns in this room. Even after the wizard died, the fire did not consume this place.

This means that the wizard held on for several hours. If he had held on a little longer, he might have survived.

It’s a pity that I couldn’t hold on.

However, now is not the time to regret this.

"I'll go in first to see if there's anything valuable." Leon said, and then stepped in.

"Wait..." Visenna shouted.

But Lyon had already stepped in.

At this moment, a faint red light lit up in the room, as if a magic circle was activated.

At the same time, Leon felt a strong magical aura and a strong sense of malice.

hum-

The Demon Hunter Medal trembled!

Leon saw a shadow standing up from the corpse.
