The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"Looks like you don't need my help." Geralt folded his hands on his shoulders and stood with Regis.

Regis stroked his chin and said, "Although he is still immature, he is better than you were back then."

Geralt said nothing, he just turned and looked at Regis.

Regis smiled and said, "Don't look at me like that. Just now, if it were you, you would never wait for these bounty hunters to fail before rushing forward.

You will definitely find a way to attract the giant's attention, even if it means getting hurt by mistake."

"I'm not that stupid." Geralt said, turning his head and his eyes fell on the iron rod in Leon's hand.

This iron rod gave him a familiar feeling...

At this moment, Leon had already smashed the giant to death with a stick and was about to take his steel sword.

The bounty hunter immediately rushed over and stood between him and Eunice.

A bearded bounty hunter looked at the two men with hostility and said, "Don't think you can take all the credit. We were the ones who killed the giant. We account for at least 80%... No, 90% of the credit!"

Eunice was furious and stepped forward to argue: "If it weren't for Leon, your companion would have been bitten to death by the giant long ago!"

The bearded bounty hunter immediately shouted, "Nonsense, we were rescuing him, and it was that freak who stole our prey while we were not paying attention!

There is nothing for you here at all!

And you, it was your sudden appearance that disrupted our plan, otherwise how could my companion have almost lost his life?

You are solely responsible for the injuries inflicted on me and my companions!"

"Pay attention, who are you calling a freak?" As he shouted, a deep voice sounded from behind him.

The bearded bounty hunter said impatiently: "Of course it is... yes..."

He turned his head and met Geralt's cold eyes, then remembered that this guy had just killed two giants, and immediately swallowed back the next words.

"Get out of the way, I want my sword back!" Eunice pushed the bearded bounty hunter away and stepped forward to take back the sword that was stuck in the giant's eye.

With Geralt standing by, these bounty hunters dared not act rashly.

Eunice took the opportunity to cut off the giant's head.

"You...you are going too far..." The bearded bounty hunter stepped forward and tried to snatch the giant's head.

Eunice ran away swiftly, laughing triumphantly: "This is Leon's prey! If it weren't for Leon, you would all be dead.

Weren't you planning to rely on your numbers just now? Come now!"

She hid directly behind Geralt, making the bearded bounty hunter afraid to move.

Just then, the sound of horse hooves was heard in the distance.

A group of Toussaint guards came on horseback, escorting a chubby, moustache-wearing, elegant man.

"Geralt! It's great that you killed the giant!" Duke Gaitan shouted.

“It’s not just my credit, it’s theirs as well,” Geralt said modestly.

Duke Gaitan glanced at the bounty hunters and other wandering knights present.

Finally, his eyes fell on Leon.

He raised his eyebrows and said in surprise: "Is this Demon Hunter Master the helper you invited? That's great!"

Geralt didn't object.

Eunice said, "He is not with Geralt. We are here for the bounty!"

As she spoke, she raised the giant's head in her hand and shouted, "Look, here's the evidence!"

"She's lying, it was clearly us who killed him! Sir, she's stealing the credit from us!" The bearded bounty hunter retorted quickly, his beard shaking with anger.

There are four giants in total. Geralt killed three of them. The last one cannot be taken away from him.

“Nonsense, Leon was the one who killed him, they all saw it.

And you, if it weren't for Leon, you would have lost your lives, you should thank Leon!" Eunice shouted.

"Quiet! Geralt, you say it, I believe you." Duke Gaitan felt annoyed and he looked at Geralt.

Geralt considered it for a moment and gave a very fair answer.

"They did try to contain the giant, but the young witcher did save him and deal the final blow."

"Ha! See!" Eunice said with a proud smile, then turned to Geralt and thanked him, "Thank you!"

Geralt said nothing.

Seeing that the bearded bounty hunter was still unconvinced, Duke Gaitan immediately said, "It's all meritorious. Don't worry, I will definitely pay the bounty.

Now, let's talk about something else, guard! Hang these four giant bodies. I want to let the giants on the mountain know that this is what happens when you dare to invade Toussaint!"

The soldiers immediately dismounted and stepped forward, ready to take the giant's body away and hang it up.

Geralt stopped him and said, "I advise you not to do this. These giants have come down from Mount Gorgon for some unknown reason. You will only anger the other giants by doing this."

Duke Gaitan rolled his eyes, thinking about the possibility of Geralt's words.

Finally, he gave up and said, “Forget it, let’s find a place to bury it. I don’t want Toussaint to make trouble anymore.

After May Day, I will definitely organize an army and go up the mountain to kill all these damn giants!"

Lyon looked at the Duke of Gaitan who was making a solemn promise and felt that this matter was hopeless.

Toussaint hadn't formed an army for hundreds of years. It only had a guard of several hundred people and dozens of wandering knights.

With such an armed force, there is no chance of defeating the Titans.

"Let's not talk about this for now. Come with me. I have something to discuss with you." Duke Gaitan changed the subject.

Everyone followed Duke Gaitan back to the Beauclair Palace and let the guards deal with the mess at the scene.

In the Beauclair Palace, Duke Gaitan sat on the throne. He looked at the bounty hunters and wandering knights gathered below, and finally glanced at Geralt.

"Ahem, I guess you've heard about what happened in Toussaint these days, right?

I assure you, it's all real, monsters, a lot of damn monsters attacked here in a premeditated manner.

This caused my people to panic, and there were even rumors that Beauclair was doomed and Toussaint was about to become a paradise for monsters.

Absurd! Nonsense! This is a blatant rumor! "

Leon looked at Duke Gaitan roaring angrily and helplessly, and he turned to look at Geralt beside him.

Geralt was very calm, and even crossed his arms across his chest as if he was just watching a show.

Gaitan loudly berated the monsters for invading their home, but it didn't seem to resonate with the scene or anything.

After about half an hour, he finally got to the point.

“May Day is only six days away. I invited you all here because I hope you can clear out as many monsters as possible before then.

And we guarantee that monsters will never appear in the main area of ​​Beauclair during May Day!

Don't worry, I will give you a satisfactory reward!" Duke Gaitan promised.

"Don't worry, sir, we will kill all these monsters!"

"Yes, we promise that these monsters will never interfere with the May Festival!"

……

The bounty hunters and wandering knights shouted their assurances.

"Okay, let my guard captain Charles tell you more detailed information." Duke Gaitan said.

Next to him, a tall, middle-aged man with a burly figure and fully armed stepped forward and said, "Everyone, this is what happened..."
