The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon argued with the old wizard for a long time before he made him understand that a horse is not a donkey, and that he didn't have a donkey at all.

On the other side, the caravan had already found the lost horses.

After all, they are domesticated. Even if they are scared by the goblins, they certainly can't run far. If you call them a few times, they will hear you and go back.

The man in the caravan who was bitten by the goblin was called Harry, the younger brother of the leader of the caravan, who was called Grom.

They have a cart of handicrafts that they need to take to Nevin Renard to trade.

Because it is a small business inherited from the family, family members always send gifts to each other.

Moreover, their home was not far from Nevin Reynard, only two days’ journey away, and they walked back and forth seven or eight times a year, so there was no danger.

But this time, they had bad luck. When they were about to reach their destination, they ran into goblins.

Moreover, Harry was bitten by a goblin and now he has a fever and is unconscious.

Faced with this kind of bite, if it were in the past, Lyon would definitely have no way to deal with it, but now it is not certain.

He took off the life pendant, placed it close to the part where Harry was bitten, and the life force seeped out and began to heal Harry.

Half an hour later, everyone was surprised to see that the bitten part of Harry began to heal and his complexion looked much better.

"Harry looks much better now! It works! It works!" Harry's wife cried with joy.

However, Lyon frowned and was not so optimistic.

He shook his head and said, "I'm afraid I can't cure him. I can only prolong his life. The most urgent thing is to send him to the temple and see if the priests there can help."

Everyone is puzzled.

Harry’s wife thought Leon wanted money, so she quickly took out her purse and handed it over, saying, “Please, don’t give up, I can give you all this money.”

Leon was silent for a moment, took ten florins from the box as payment and said, “It’s not that I don’t want to save him, it’s that I have no choice.

You see, although his wounds have healed, his body is still slightly swollen and he is not getting better."

As he spoke, he reached out and pried open Harry's closed eyes.

Everyone saw that Harry's eyes were lifeless and his pupils seemed about to dilate.

Lyon continued: “You see, he is still in danger.

I can treat sprains with this thing, but his is a bacterial infection, which I can't cure.

The goblin had bitten him, and the bacteria had already flowed through his blood vessels to every part of his body.

I'm not a pharmacist and don't know how to treat bacterial infections.

You'd better go to the temple, maybe they can help you."

Leon originally thought that the Life Pendant could heal goblin bites.

But after practice he found that the life pendant was powerless against bacterial infections and at most could only repair the wounds on Harry bitten by the goblins.

“It seems that the Life Pendant can only repair wounds, but is of no help for bacterial infections or poisoning.

The function is unexpectedly single...

However, the life force seems to only prolong life. Bacteria are also life. Perhaps in front of the life force, there is only the difference between life and death. "

Leon thought to himself.

"However, even so, the Life Pendant is still a rare treasure."

Although it can only heal wounds and has no effect on injuries such as bacterial infections and poisoning, it is still pretty good.

After all, it heals injuries quickly, faster than most magic!

“Perhaps it is precisely because of its single function that its healing effect is so powerful.

It fits the extreme characteristics of black magic. After all, this life pendant was made by an old witch, and no one knows what she used. "Leon thought.

The old witch was dead and no one could answer his question.

But Lyon felt that his guess was not wrong.

Everyone looked at Harry and began to panic.

“Tie up the horses, I’ll take Harry first and go to the temple.

You... Mr. Demon Hunter, please accept my commission. I hope to entrust you with ten florins to escort the others to Nevin Reynard safely!" Grom made a decision immediately.

He looked at Leon earnestly, hoping that Leon would agree.

"Okay." Leon naturally accepted it, because it was like he had picked up the money for free.

This place is less than half a day away from Naven Reinard, and normally no one would post commission tasks at the door.

Even if there is, one florin is considered too much.

However, the appearance of the goblins made Grom and his men frightened.

And he himself needed to take Harry to the temple for help, so the escort mission had to be given to Leon.

Grom gratefully took out five florins, then said, "When we reach our destination, please come to the temple to get the other half!"

Leon nodded and said, "Okay."

Grom climbed onto his horse, and with the help of everyone tied Harry to his back, then he rode away alone.

Lyon also followed quickly, but because he was traveling with a carriage, his speed naturally slowed down.

The carriage moved slowly, and finally they arrived at Nevin Renard before dark.

As agreed, Leon took the old wizard to the temple.

On the one hand it was to collect the balance, on the other hand it was to resettle the old wizard.

There was no way, he had no plan to stay here, and planned to take a boat to Toussaint tomorrow or in a few days.

He couldn't possibly take the old wizard with him, could he?

Besides, his relationship with the old wizard hasn't reached that stage yet, so there's no need for him to provide for his retirement!

Maybe the old wizard has his own place to go?

"Temple, I didn't expect there was a Temple of Melitari here." Leon rode with the old wizard to the door of the temple.

"Of course there are, but there are more in the northern countries." A voice came from behind him.

Leon was surprised: "Are you awake now?"

"Well... of course, more awake than ever before." The old wizard said as he supported Leon's shoulders and slowly got off the horse.

"Oh! Why is my robe so torn? Damn it!" The old wizard noticed that the hem of his robe had become strips of cloth and immediately complained.

Leon also dismounted. He looked at the old wizard and asked, "Who do you think I am? Do you remember?"

The old wizard looked at Leon, his eyes full of wisdom: "You stole my donkey!"

Leon: “(?_? ).”

The old wizard is now unconscious.

He couldn't figure out what was going on with the old wizard, and when he was confused and when he was clear-headed.

"But this has nothing to do with me. I will leave him to the temple priests here later. They will definitely not drive away a lonely old man, especially an old man with Alzheimer's disease."

Leon led the old wizard inside, ignoring his chattering.

Walking up the marble steps, they entered the temple, and in the garden, Leon saw a statue of the goddess Melitari carved from marble.

As the legend goes, the goddess has three faces.

The kind old man's face is facing the gate, welcoming the believers who come to worship.

There are two faces left, the mature and maternal face of a woman facing left, and the lively and energetic face of a girl facing right.

There are usually no temple guards guarding this place, and no one would come to the Temple of Melitari to cause trouble.

As soon as they entered, they were greeted by a priestess.
