The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon waited, but no one spoke.

"Do you have any questions about my analysis?" he asked.

After a moment of silence, a woman cautiously asked, "But why would the wizard take our children away? This doesn't make sense!"

"Yes! Why did they take my child away?" someone asked in agreement.

Leon said calmly: "I don't know. I only found traces of magic, which are very faint, but I'm not sure it's a wizard. In this world, there are not only wizards who can use magic, but also something else."

The discussion started again, and Leon heard that people no longer had so many doubts.

“At the same time, this is what I am more worried about. If it is a human trafficker, your child is most likely still alive, but he must have left here, and it will be difficult to find him.

If it was a wild beast, then there was no need to think about it, because no child could survive the mouth of a wild beast.

But obviously, the current situation is neither of the above two situations, and I can't judge whether your child is still alive." Lyon continued.

"If that's the case, then you should set out immediately and rescue our child! At least find him alive or dead!"

"Yes! Why are you still wasting time here? Wouldn't it be more dangerous if you delay for a while?"

Someone shouted indignantly, staring at Leon with angry eyes.

It looked as if Leon had stolen their child and was going to hurt their child.

"Quiet! Listen to what the witcher says! Be quiet!" Chris shouted. He was also very anxious, but now was not the time to argue.

The most excited people are those who lost their children in recent times, while those who lost their children earlier are very calm.

Because according to Lyon's analysis, the children who were lost earlier are most likely dead, and only those who were lost recently may be alive.

"Go ahead, witcher, we're all listening," said Chris.

Leon nodded and said, “I asked you all to come here, first to collect information, and now it seems that the information has been collected, and it can be basically confirmed that your children were stolen by the same thing.

As for the second thing, it is naturally for the bounty. Baron Chris does nothing, I live on the bounty, the mission is somewhat dangerous, if…"

Leon's words were immediately interrupted ruthlessly.

A man stared at Leon with red eyes and said viciously: "It's all for the bounty! Damn bastard, our child is in danger, and you actually wasted your precious time on this matter! I..."

"Shut up Hank! Shut your mouth! He's a demon hunter, not a soldier of Tegamo. Isn't it natural for him to do it for the bounty?

What's there to argue about? I don't care why he did it. Anyway, do you have any other good ideas? "A middle-aged bearded man's low voice sounded, and he stared at Hank who had just spoken.

Hank immediately stopped talking, his eyes dodged, and he muttered: "I'm not saying I won't pay you, I'm just angry that he brought it up at this time. This is clearly a threat to us!"

The bearded man said mercilessly: "Humph! If not now, when? Don't you ask the price when you buy something? I think it's a good time to ask now so that everyone can make it clear and avoid defaulting on the debt later!"

As he said that, he turned his gaze to Leon and said, "Demon Hunter, how much do you charge? I just want to see my child now, alive or dead! But the murderer must pay the price!"

"Carter is right! That's what I meant too! There's a high chance something has happened to my child, but the murderer must pay!"

"Me too……"

Some people echoed Carter, including parents who lost their children a month ago.

Leon said, "It's definitely not cheap, but if each of you pays a part, it will be very cheap, ten florins each!"

The discussion started again.

But Carter walked forward, took out a rough purse, took out a ten-dollar florin from it, handed it to Leon, and said in a threatening tone: "Remember my words, demon hunter, I want you to make the murderer pay the price no matter what!

I will give you the money directly, but if you dare to cheat me, I will hang you on the tree at the entrance of the village and skin you alive!

I promise, you won’t die even if your skin is peeled off! Absolutely not! "

Leon did not take the florin from the other party, but asked: "I am curious, what do you do?"

"I'm a butcher, specializing in killing sheep and cattle, and occasionally wolves!" said Carter.

“Don’t worry, I dare to take your money, and I will give you an explanation no matter what.

But before that, I hope you can keep the money for me, and I will ask you for it after I complete the task." Lyon said.

Carter glanced at Leon and nodded. He glanced at the people present and said coldly, “Okay, no one dares to default on my debt!”

One after another, more people handed money to Carter, some gave florins, and some gave dinars.

However, some people did not plan to pay immediately, including Hank.

Leon didn't care about that. He said, "Thank you. I'll ask you for the rest of the money after I finish the task."

He turned to look at Carter and said, "If you are worried, you can follow me."

Carter crossed his arms and said, "I won't get in your way. Professional matters should be left to professionals. Are you going to start the investigation next?"

Leon nodded and said, “Yes, but I have to go with Hilt first. His child was lost in the past four days. I think I can find more useful information from him.”

Afterwards, Leon followed Hilt to his house, and some people followed him, wanting to see how the witcher completed the task.

Hilt's wife pointed to an empty space in the yard and said, "It was right there. The moment I turned around, the child disappeared! There was no trace, nothing!"

Leon stepped forward, his pupils dilating rapidly.

Everyone saw Lyon's change and was shocked by it.

"Damn it! Is this really a human?" Someone swallowed, wondering if he had spoken too loudly just now.

Carter also looked at Leon's eyes with fear. These eyes were usually scary, but now they were even scarier.

Leon didn't care what they thought, he just knew he was in the right place.

In his sight, a light red magic trace filled the area in front of him, and then the red magic trace dragged a short tail and disappeared into the sky.

"Found it, it's going over there!" Leon turned his head and looked at the sky in the distance, "It can fly!"
