The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 181 Toussaint Crisis

After Eunice's narration, Lyon gradually understood what had happened in Toussaint during this period.

The monster appeared in Toussaint not a month ago, but more than four months ago.

It’s just a bounty mission that was released just a month ago.

One night four months ago, almost all the workers at the Heiger Winery died.

Even the owner of the manor died in his sleep, and only the manor's gatekeeper, Old Harry, escaped on horseback.

At first, Duke Gaitan only sent guards to investigate, but the monster had already escaped.

Heiger Manor is right next to the Caroberta Forest. It is newly reclaimed land and there are wild animals roaming around even in normal times.

Therefore, Duke Gaitan simply ordered the wandering knights in Toussaint to kill some wild beasts nearby and then announced that the crisis was resolved.

After it was quiet for a while, everyone thought it was not a monster but a wild beast.

Until two months ago, mountain giants began to appear, not one, but four!

They killed people near Leuscann and slew two stray knights who tried to stop them.

Then they disappeared, only to reappear a few days later, their number increased to five, and at one point they rushed under the Beauclair Palace.

The guards panicked for a while, and finally shot and killed two of them with bows and arrows. The remaining three fled back to Mount Gaogong.

At this time, Duke Gaitan realized the seriousness of the matter.

Then more troublesome things happened one after another. Someone died at home and had been drained of blood when he was found.

Some hunters have spotted winged lizardmen roaming around in the former elf ruins. These are brand new monsters!

In addition to these, there were also some little bastards that appeared before, and these little bastards looked exactly like dwarfs.

Although Duke Gaitan had already received news about the goblins and announced it before.

But these monsters were so similar to dwarfs that they did not eliminate people's hostility towards dwarfs.

Someone asked Duke Gaitan to capture the dwarfs. Although he refused, the humanoid race still fled Toussaint.

After all, in this human-dominated world, humanoids have no sense of security at all.

Any sign of trouble will arouse their vigilance.

Since Toussaint has no army, it only has guards and wandering knights.

But now, they can no longer guarantee Toussaint's safety.

So Duke Gaitan began to let wandering knights leave Toussaint, issue bounties, and recruit brave and fearless people to come to Toussaint to kill monsters.

At the same time, Duke Gaitan also offered a very high bounty, and Eunice was attracted by this high reward.

"Toussaint is even more chaotic than outside!" Lyon murmured.

He looked at Regis, and the pharmacist frowned for once.

"It seems that the welfare home you mentioned no longer exists." Lyon said.

He turned his head to look at the old wizard who was leaning on the railing looking at the two banks, and suddenly felt a headache.

According to Eunice, Toussaint is now in great danger.

Goblins appeared in Toussaint. I'm afraid some defenders have already sneaked into Toussaint.

Not only that, the winged lizardmen looked like dragonmen to him no matter how he thought about it. This was what McLaren told him.

He didn't know how the True God Church came to the conclusion to call the lizardmen dragonmen, as those things had nothing to do with dragons.

However, he did not dwell on this matter, but it was certain that when the celestial spheres intersected, some dragon people also came to Toussaint.

There are also giants, and other monsters.

Toussaint is now in great danger.

“Let’s go check it out first, even if it’s gone, there’s no way to turn back now.

But don't worry, I will definitely find a safe place to put him." Regis said absentmindedly.

Leon noticed Regis's attitude and thought he had some relatives or friends in Toussaint.

He comforted her, "Don't worry, your relatives and friends will be fine."

"Hmm?" Regis looked at him in confusion.

Then he seemed to understand what Leon meant. He first thanked him, then took a deep breath and fell into deep thought.

Leon did not disturb Regis, thinking that he was still worried about these things.

Eunice asked, "How about it, Leon, are you interested in hunting monsters together?"

She seemed very excited and seemed to be unable to wait.

But it was true that her money was stolen by a dwarf on the previous ship. If she hadn't habitually hidden some money in her boots, she probably wouldn't even have enough to buy the ship ticket.

But now, she has no money and is in urgent need of money.

Leon saw that Eunice had thin arms and legs and was very young, and she didn't look like a bounty hunter at all.

He advised: "You have no idea what dangers you will face. I advise you to give up."

Eunice looked at Leon with an expression of not wanting to be outdone. She raised her chin and said, "Really? I have killed fork-tailed dragons, pterodactyls, and frost trolls. What other monsters can be my opponent?"

Leon glanced at Eunice and suddenly noticed that the light armor on her body seemed to be made of unique materials.

Eunice said proudly, "How about it? Did you figure it out?

Yes, this is made of pterodactyl skin, and this pair of boots is made of frost troll skin!"

If what she said was true, Leon felt that he needed to re-examine the identity of this silver-haired woman.

The material she's wearing isn't cheap at all.

"Whose noble daughter is this?" Leon wondered.

Seeing that Leon didn’t speak, Eunice thought that Leon was shocked by his achievements, so she smiled and said, “Don’t worry, I won’t think you’re holding me back!

I'm looking for your cooperation mainly because you are a demon hunter and you must be more familiar with monsters than I am. In short, I need your experience!"

Leon looked a little strange. Did she really think she had hundreds of years of experience in hunting demons?

Leon was too lazy to correct it. He shook his head and said, “Sorry, I’m just here to keep an appointment. I don’t plan to solve any monsters.”

He always felt that the situation in Toussaint was a little complicated, with goblins, the True God Cult, giants, and even vampires.

For him, he would not make a hasty decision on what to do before he figured out what the situation was in Toussaint.

He now doubted whether the witch was still there.

Eunice wanted to persuade him, but seeing that Leon really had no interest, she shrugged and said, “Okay, okay, when we get to Beauclair, remember to tell me if you change your mind.”

After saying that, she turned around and went back to the cabin to rest.

On the other side, Regis looked a little solemn. He suddenly came over and said to Leon, “How about…wait a minute and see if we can get the boat to the shore. How about you go back to Nevin Renard first and I take the old man to Beauclair?”

Leon was confused by Regis' words and was a little confused: "What do you mean Regis? Did you notice something?"

Regis shook his head and said, "Well... it just feels a little strange. Something might be wrong in Beauclair..."
