The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 171: Meet the Old Wizard Again

"He's not dead!" Leon was surprised, and at the same time he kept wondering, "Why did I meet him again..."

Leon actually didn't like the old wizard very much, but he had to thank him.

If the old wizard had not appeared, he probably would not have changed his route and would have arrived at the city of Kalsa according to the original plan.

And in the city of Khalsa, McLaren and even other True God believers were waiting for him.

McLaren's sudden appearance meant that the other party shouldn't have known his whereabouts.

But wizards all have the power of prophecy, and after paying a certain price, they can predict a person's whereabouts.

The True God Church must have similar capabilities, otherwise McLaren would not have blocked itself halfway.

If he had entered the city of Khalsa according to his original plan, with his strength at the time, he would probably have fallen into the hands of the True God Church.

In other words, the appearance of the old wizard disrupted his plans and delayed his entry into the city.

At the same time, a large fireball released unintentionally by the opponent severely damaged McLaren, preventing him from being immediately captured or killed in the following battle.

Then, the old wizard opened the portal and accidentally teleported him to Visenna, indirectly helping him embark on the path of a wizard.

All of this is such a coincidence, as if it was destined by heaven.

From this perspective, the old wizard is definitely his benefactor, even if this was not the old wizard's original intention.

So, even though Leon didn't like the old wizard, he didn't hate him either.

But now, they met again, and under such circumstances.

The old wizard is crazy and now he probably doesn't even know who he is.

He was holding the magic wand and using it as a dog-beating stick.

If Leon was not a wizard yet, he would naturally think that the magic circle was useless.

But now, he could feel the endless magic power contained in that magic circle.

That is definitely a high-end product. Compared with the magic wand, the iron stick in his hand is a real dog-beating stick.

While thinking, Lyon had already started moving.

He drew his sword and rode forward on his horse at an extremely fast speed.

He swung the steel sword and beheaded a goblin that had already climbed onto the carriage with one strike.

Call——

Sikori neighed, stood up, and stepped down with his two hooves, immediately stepping on the head of a goblin, causing it to scream and then die.

Sikori raised his hind hoof and kicked an approaching goblin far away.

Leon pulled the reins and hacked around the carriage, occasionally attacking with flames using the Igni Sign.

Soon, after several goblins died, they began to flee.

Lyon symbolically chased after them and killed a few of them before giving up the chase.

This is a small group of goblins. Without a mutant leader like the Goblin Leader to lead them, they will scatter if a few of them are injured or killed.

Lyon reined in his horse and turned back, carefully examining the situation before him.

This was a small caravan with not many people, only six in total including the old wizard, and only one carriage.

The rest of the horses must have fled into the woods. When he came back, he saw one horse wandering nearby and had not run far.

The horse pulling the cart was dead, mutilated by the goblins, with its internal organs scattered all over the ground.

When he came back, the team members had already gotten out of the car and were cleaning up the mess.

"Harry, what's wrong with you? Harry?" A woman knelt in front of a man and cried.

Leon took a look and saw that the man was beyond saving. He was bitten by a goblin and the infection spread quickly.

Individual goblins are very weak and can be dealt with by ordinary people.

The only thing to worry about is their mouths and claws. Currently, ordinary medicines cannot cure wound infections except for magic potions.

However, I believe that it won't be long before ordinary medical drugs can solve this type of infection when people understand this.

"Thank you! Thank you!" The man who seemed to be the leader of the team hurried forward to thank Leon when he saw him coming back.

"How did you encounter goblins?" Leon asked.

Logically speaking, there would be no goblins on such a frequently traveled road, because it was the financial route connecting various towns, and there would definitely be soldiers cleaning it regularly.

The leader smiled bitterly: "We don't know either. We have walked this road countless times, but today is the first time we have encountered a goblin."

Leon thought for a moment and seemed to understand something.

Before humans could react, the goblin population was surging.

“There’s a horse over there that should be yours, but the goblins have already run away, so go and get it back.

Also, go around and maybe find others." Leon pointed in a direction, which was the area where the horse stayed.

Then he rode his horse to the old wizard.

The old wizard was still tall and strong, but his cotton coat had been replaced with a loose robe.

His robe was torn on top and almost torn at the hem, obviously from the scratches of the goblins.

At this moment, he was mumbling and checking his robes, cursing as he did so.

"Damn little beast! How hateful! This is something I just bought!" The old wizard was extremely angry and did not feel any joy at all after surviving a disaster.

It seemed that the crisis just now was just a farce in his eyes, not even a trouble.

"Does benefactor know this old man?" the leader stepped forward and asked.

Leon nodded. He knew him, but he didn't know his name.

He didn't seem to have asked at the time, but there was no point in asking, as the old wizard might have forgotten it long ago.

After receiving Lyon's affirmative answer, the leader immediately started complaining.

"We met him on the road, he was lying on the side of the road, we thought he was unconscious, but we woke him up with good intentions and warned him that there was a monster nearby.

But he said that we blocked his sun exposure and asked us to compensate him for the loss of sun exposure!

Listen to me, is this human language? This is totally unreasonable!"

Leon nodded in agreement. This was indeed something an old wizard could do.

“Later we found out that he had a mental problem and was basically a lunatic!

He held us back, but we were in a hurry to get to Nevinredna, so we had to take him with us, intending to take him to the temple of Nevinredna..."

The leader kept talking, and Leon finally understood what was going on.

He was just very curious about how the old wizard had gotten here in his current state.

He dismounted and walked up to the old wizard, who was still complaining about his new robes.

Leon squatted down, and the old wizard looked up at him, with infinite confusion in his eyes.

Suddenly, a gleam of light flashed in his eyes, and then he grabbed Leon's arm and said excitedly: "It's you! I know you!"

Leon was a little surprised. Was this a brief moment of recovery?

"It's rare that you still remember me, you..." Leon said.

"It's you! You little thief! You stole my donkey!"

Lyon was confused.
