The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Gran Village is a small village located ten kilometers northwest of the town of Tegamo. This is the first stop that Lyon plans to investigate.

At the same time, this is also the area with the most concentrated task releases. A total of eleven bounty tasks come from here, accounting for more than half of the tasks.

Lyon rode his horse and soon arrived at the village of Gran.

"Strange, why doesn't he attack me? Did Klein send him only to monitor me?" Leon didn't look back. He looked towards the village while thinking about being followed.

In theory, the distance from Tegamo to Gran Village would take more than half an hour on horseback, and fortunately, one could pass through a small forest during the ride, which was a good opportunity for the other party to take action.

But Lyon was not attacked, which really made him confused.

But after thinking about it for a while, he could probably guess that there must be no decent talents under Klein.

It's not easy to deal with him.

Leon is now far beyond the average person, unless he is a fully armed and well-trained soldier, like the ones in Nilfgaard.

It would take a whole team of people to defeat him. If it were Klein's men, Leon would guarantee to kill as many as came.

Of course, if more than a hundred people rushed over, he would have no choice but to run away first.

But the soldiers of Tegamo would probably not die for Creon.

When he dealt with Klein's men yesterday, he was holding back. He didn't want to cause any deaths or give anyone a handle against him.

But those men were as shrewd as humans. When they saw that they were no match for him, they immediately suppressed their ferocious expressions, lay down on the ground and began screaming, without even getting up.

It is impossible to expect subordinates like these not to be afraid of death.

Therefore, Lyon was fearless and not afraid of Crean's revenge.

Even if he wanted to find external help, five days would not be enough to get reinforcements. By the time he found reinforcements, Lyon would have left here long ago.

"Want to control my movements? Haha, then come on." Leon sneered and rode into the village.

He randomly stopped a passerby and asked, "Excuse me, where does Hilt Frank Ron live? I saw the mission he posted on the bulletin board in Tegamo, and I wanted to come over to ask about the situation."

The man who was stopped looked unhappy, but when he saw Leon's eyes, his expression instantly became much kinder.

"You...you are..."

"Don't worry, I'm a demon hunter," Leon explained.

The man breathed a sigh of relief and was no longer as scared.

He looked at Leon in surprise and said, "Demon Hunter, what do you want from Hilt?"

"I saw a bulletin board in Tegamo. He posted a reward saying that his child was missing and hoped someone would help find him. The price needed to be negotiated with him in person, so I came." Leon explained simply.

Hearing Leon's words, the man suddenly became excited: "Oh! God! Finally someone noticed this matter, it was that fat pig Klein... No, it was the Baron, he finally did something serious!"

Leon shook his head and said, “No, it has nothing to do with the Baron. I came here because I saw there was a bounty.”

When the man heard this, he immediately cursed: "This damn fat pig! Shit! Fuck him! We pay taxes every year, but this pig does nothing!

God damn it! He should be hanged! Gored to death by a pig! Gored to death by a cow! ... "

The man kept cursing.

Lyon clicked his tongue. It seemed that Baron Klein was very unpopular. There were actually people who cursed their lord like this.

After cursing for a long time, the man finally stopped.

He calmed down, looked at Leon and said, “I know where Hilt is, I can take you to see him.

Since you looked at the bulletin board, you must have also seen the mission I posted, right? "

"What's your name?" Leon asked. "There are many people who post similar tasks."

The man put down the hoe on his shoulder, leaned it in front of him and said, "Chris Griffin."

Leon nodded and said, “Indeed, your name is on it.”

Chris frowned and said, "In that case, Demon Hunter, let's talk about the price. Let me tell you, we are all poor farmers and we don't have that much money. If you ask for too much, we can't afford it."

He looked at Lyon worriedly, waiting for Lyon's offer.

Leon comforted him, “Our fees depend on the situation. If we just find out why the child is missing, it will be cheaper.

But if we need to find the child, I'm afraid... you know, if it's a human trafficker, it will probably take him a long time to leave the province, and the price is very high."

"Why do we need to know the reason? Of course we need to find the child, but if he leaves the province... this... this is not something I can decide.

I need to talk to my wife. My poor Ellie, she has lost her appetite and is exhausted. "Chris said excitedly.

Leon got off the horse, patted the other person on the shoulder and said, "Let's go, we'll talk about the price later, I'll understand the situation first.

Go gather together all the families who have lost their children. I need to know if this is a common occurrence.

If so, it will be easy. If you all pool your money and share it equally, each of you will only need to pay about ten florins."

Chris sighed helplessly, nodded and said: "Ten florins, or..."

Leon stopped his complaints and quickly complained: “Don’t think it’s expensive, if it’s a human trafficker, I need to ensure the safety of your children, and I have to fight with the traffickers, which is also dangerous for me.

If it was a wild beast, of course, I wouldn’t want my child to be taken away by it.

But we always have to consider this situation. If it is a wild beast, it must be a cunning beast, otherwise it would not have been caught by you for so long.

I need to fight wild beasts, which is a very dangerous job.

You see, I am injured and I need money to buy medicine. "

As he spoke, Leon lifted up his clothes, revealing the scars on his body.

After listening to Leon's explanation and looking at the scars on his body, Chris could only nod his head and said, "Well, it's not easy for you either. The job of a demon hunter is really dangerous.

Come with me to my house. Wait for me first while I call someone."

Leon led the horse and followed Chris towards his home.

Ten minutes after they left, Forte arrived at the entrance of Gran Village with a gloomy face, riding a skinny gelding.

The gelding was panting. It was already thin, and had to carry more than 80 kilograms of Ford on its back.

This made it feel a little overwhelmed, and if Forte hadn't whipped it diligently, it would have fallen to the ground and lay motionless.

"Damn fat pig, idiot, even the warhorse is so thin! I missed the opportunity!" Forte cursed.

He glanced at Gran Village, but could no longer see any witchers.

"Let's go into the village first. Where did that damn witcher go?" Forte squeezed the horse's belly, and the gelding slowly carried him into the village.
