The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon was stunned, wondering if he had heard it wrongly.

Invite him to be an apologist?

This is the first time ever.

All major religious orders keep their distance from demon hunters, believing them to be monsters and wishing they would be exterminated sooner rather than later.

It is incredible that a church actually invited him to become an apologist.

Moreover, it seems that this apologist is quite impressive.

However, Lyon shook his head and refused.

"No, sorry, I don't believe in God. Witchers only believe in ourselves." Leon refused.

Camaro was not disappointed, but just said: "It doesn't matter, even though you don't believe in God now, you will in the future."

Leon shook his head.

"Let's go!" Jeraka chased them away again.

Camaro then left.

"It's incomprehensible. I think it's the wizard's doing. They have been silent for too long." said Jeraka.

The two Leons took a sip of wine and asked, "By the way, how have you been these past few years? Now that you've bought the shop, is business good?"

Jeraka said with a smile: "That's not my shop. Although the shops here are cheaper than those in Nilfgaard, they are still too expensive.

This is Falco's shop, I'm here to seek refuge with him!"

Falco ate the barbecue and said with a smile: "We are friends, haha, I have not been here for a few years. If it weren't for Jeraka's help, I wouldn't dare to take the business of 20 sets of equipment a month.

You know, hiring humans is really too expensive, and they are clumsy and I need to teach them everything, and I don’t have the time for that.”

Jeraka smiled widely and burped loudly.

"Haha and my brothers, we believe in Falco, come on, cheers!" Jeraka shouted.

"I wish your business gets better and better!" Lyon raised his glass and blessed.

Everyone clinked their glasses.

They drank until late at night, and Leon returned to the count's castle in a daze.

He woke up at noon the next day, washed and had his meal, but he did not meet Stregobor.

"Let's go check out the mine today."

Leon rode his horse to Jeraka's blacksmith shop.

When they were drinking last night, Jelaka heard that he was going to investigate the mine outside the east gate, so Jelaka offered to help.

On the one hand, he has a friend there, who is a miner and has complained to him several times about monsters appearing in the mine.

Because the monster killed many people, no one dares to work there now.

But if we don’t work, we can only go to further places to work, which is very inconvenient.

Moreover, if there are monsters in this mine, what about other places? Will there be monsters in other places as well?

On the other hand, Jeraka and his men also need rhodonite to forge weapons, and the rhodonite gold inside is what they need.

But now, the only mine producing rhodonite has stopped operating, and they have to pay more florins to buy it from other places.

Not only is the rhodonite purchased from other places more expensive, but the rhodonite gold content is also very low, so the cost goes up quickly.

"Don't worry, if we can't come back before dark, we will come back tomorrow." Jeraka said goodbye to his friends, left the blacksmith shop and left the city with Leon.

The two men were riding horses on a wide road, and there were many pedestrians on the road.

Jeraka complained, "To be honest, Dan Rowan's soldiers are really incompetent in dealing with monsters, they can only bully us.

But it's a good thing that you're here. I was actually thinking, if those monsters can't be dealt with anymore, should I send you a letter and ask for your help.

But I don't know if you are still in Nilfgaard."

Leon said, “You should have sent me a letter earlier, I haven’t been anywhere.

Although there are many commissions in the nearby villages, the money is too little, so it’s better in the city.”

This is the truth, the villagers are very stingy and will even deduct money in the end.

It's better in the city. Although the nobles are also stingy, they give more than the villagers.

Jeraka said: “Leon, you are here to help the Count solve his daughter’s problem, right?

There were so many people around last night, and the Count didn't like to hear people say his daughter was a monster, but now there are only the two of us and two horses, and I can tell you."

Leon turned around and asked, "Have you seen his daughter?"

Jeraka shook his head and said, “I haven’t seen it, but Falco has, and he’s been here for seven years.

According to him, the Earl's daughter might have turned into a vampire bird, the one that the legendary witcher Geralt fought against in the story.

Have you heard this story? I remember telling you a little bit about it. "

Leon nodded.

When Jeraka was in Nilfgaard, he did teach him a lot about demon hunters.

Although the other party also heard it from hearsay, he knew much more than he did.

After all, there were not so many records in Sikori's notes. Most of his records were about the mutant potion.

“According to Master Dandelion’s records, more than one demon hunter died at the hands of the vampire bird.

It took a lot of effort for Geralt to successfully remove the curse.

You should know that he is the best among demon hunters and a true demon hunter master.

And you are just a fledgling, if you take this mission, you might lose your life!" Jeraka said worriedly, as if trying to persuade Leon to give up.

Leon shook his head and said, "It may not be a vampire bird. From what I heard from them, it has nothing to do with a vampire bird. It's just... a little disgusting."

Jeraka screamed, "They are lying to you? Leon, these people are very cunning, you can't kill her yet!"

Leon smiled faintly and said: “Don’t worry, I will protect myself, and I have been improving over the years.

If it really concerns my life, I will kill her without hesitation."

"What about the Count? If you kill her, you will be arrested and executed!" said Jeraka.

Leon frowned slightly, it seemed that this was the case.

However, he thought that Stregobor seemed to be making some magic potions, which should be of some help to him in lifting Histia's curse.

"Don't worry, I will act according to the situation. At worst, I can just escape from here."

Taking money to do things is the rule in Lyon.

Although he is a demon hunter of the Cat School, the mutation potion did not turn him into someone as cunning and despicable as Sikori.

Perhaps it was because he mutated successfully.

Seeing that persuasion was ineffective, Jeraka had to give up and said, "Then you must take care of yourself. You are my friend and my savior. I have not yet repaid you."

"You've done enough for me. Don't worry, it's okay." Leon said.

As they were talking, the two had already arrived in front of a village.

This is the village where the Jeraka miner friends live, and it is also the first stop of their investigation.
