The Witcher: Darkness Falls

The information Charles had about monsters was actually not much more than what Leon knew. The only useful information was probably where these monsters first appeared.

There have always been legends about giants in Toussaint, but most of the people living here have never seen a giant. There are two main reasons for this.

First, the giants lived on Mount Gorgon. There were not many of them and they seldom came down the mountain. In fact, they were not very courageous.

The second is that there are wandering knights patrolling in Toussaint, especially in key areas such as Mount Gorgon, where their number is particularly large.

Therefore, even if they occasionally encounter giants coming down the mountain, they will find ways to drive them back. The residents living here rarely actually encounter giants.

But recently, for some unknown reason, the giants have been coming down the mountain more frequently, and have even become violent, actively attacking Boclain.

This is very unusual.

Then there are the legends about vampires.

Just like the legend of giants, the legend of vampires has always been circulating in Toussaint. It is rumored that Beauclair was attacked by vampires nearly two hundred years ago.

At that time, Toussaint was still under the rule of Duchess Anna Henrietta, but with the help of the legendary witcher Geralt, the vampire was defeated.

Geralt neither denied nor acknowledged the truth of this rumor.

There are also rumors that vampires are hiding in the Merle Lachaise Longue Cemetery. After all, this cemetery has existed since the elf era.

It is so large, who knows if there are really vampires hiding in it.

And this time, someone discovered that the vampire flew out from that cemetery, which further proved that the cemetery was a vampire's lair.

Then there are the goblins and lizardmen, two monsters whose legends have never been circulated in Toussaint.

But Duke Gaitan had already received information from Nilfgaard, so he was sure that the goblins were created by the True God Cult.

However, no one knows where the True God followers are. Leon even suspects that there are defenders of the religion lurking among these bounty hunters or mercenaries.

The goblins' first attack was on Heiger Manor, on the edge of the Carobta Forest. Perhaps they could start from here.

As for the Lizard Man, no one has ever seen one.

However, since there are large areas of primitive swamps and forests in Toussaint, no one can guarantee whether these monsters are hidden inside.

But Leon knew clearly that these lizard people actually came from another world where the celestial spheres intersect.

They first appeared in the Carles Mine, also near the Carroberta Forest.

The above is the information about these monsters, which is similar to what Leon knows.

After obtaining enough information, Duke Gaitan talked to Geralt alone for about ten minutes.

No one knew the content of their conversation, but Leon saw a helpless expression on Geralt's face.

Afterwards, the four of them headed towards the White Crow Vineyard together.

Eunice's emerald eyes kept looking at Geralt, her eyes full of curiosity.

"White Wolf Geralt, so this is what you look like. I've heard... my uncle mention you!" she said suddenly.

Geralt turned around and asked in confusion: "Your uncle? Who is he?"

Eunice turned her head and said playfully, "I won't tell you."

Geralt looked at Eunice. He didn't see any familiar features in her, so he asked, "Do I know her?"

"Of course!" Eunice gave an affirmative answer. "According to him, you had a great time! In his opinion, you and he were good friends!"

Geralt thought about it.

He had spent some time with Eunice's uncle and they were on good terms.

A large number of faces flashed through his mind.

But in these three hundred years, he has interacted with too many people. After all, he needs to eat and complete tasks.

But those humans who had a good relationship with them, except for the humanoids with a relatively long lifespan and the wizards, all others were dead.

He couldn't imagine who Eunice's uncle might be.

So, a faint smile appeared on his face and he said, "Then you must have sneaked out of the house."

Eunice looked at Geralt in surprise and exclaimed, "How did you know?"

Regis laughed out loud: "Generally, people who sneak away from home are afraid to tell the adults' names.

Your uncle wouldn't want you running around, would he?"

"What about your parents? Do I know your parents?" Geralt asked.

Eunice shook her head and said, "No, you haven't even met."

Geralt nodded slightly and said, "Then let's talk about your uncle. What's his name? I really can't remember it. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone where you are.

Besides, he's not here, is he?"

Eunice still shook her head and said, "No, if I get caught, it will be difficult to get out again.

I ran away without telling my parents, and the few patrolling kids they arranged!"

Geralt did not continue to dwell on his uncle's name, but asked: "Is your uncle okay? Where is he now?"

Eunice smiled and said, "He is very nice and said he wanted to see you. He went to Nilfgaard some time ago and said he had something to investigate.

I just don't know what the result will be. He said that after the investigation is completed, he plans to go to Kaer Morhen to find you."

"That won't be easy. The road to Kaer Morhen is blocked," Geralt said.

Eunice smiled mysteriously and said, "He has a way. This won't be a problem for him!"

Geralt was certain that Eunice's uncle was not human.

He talked to Eunice for a few more words, but still couldn't remember who Eunice's uncle was.

However, Eunice seems to be human?

Geralt didn't continue the conversation. He turned to look at Leon who remained silent: "Your name is Leon?"

"Yes." Leon nodded, hesitated for a moment and said, "From Nilfgaard."

"Nilfgaard...are there still witchers there? Who is your teacher? Tell me, I might know him." Geralt asked.

"Sikori," Lyon said without hesitation.

Then he saw Geralt's face fall.

“Cat School?” Geralt’s tone returned to its initial lukewarm tone.

"Yes." Leon said frankly.

"What are you doing here?" Geralt's tone became stern, even a little hostile.

"Geralt, I remember telling you that he came here to keep an appointment and to settle an old man." Regis immediately said, noticing that the atmosphere was not right, "Also, Leon is different from the cat faction you mentioned. His mutation seems to be complete."

"No!"

"impossible."

Leon and Geralt spoke at the same time.

Geralt looked at Leon with some surprise as he denied it.

Leon looked at Geralt and said, "You know Sikori, right?"

"Naturally, there are only a few cats left, and I've been looking for an opportunity to kill him." Geralt made no secret of his hostility towards Sikori.

"He's dead," Leon said. "I killed him."

Geralt froze and looked at Leon in surprise.

Leon said calmly: “He has been experimenting with the correct formula for the mutation potion, and I am just one of his test subjects.

The last time, seven years ago, he thought that my survival meant the drug experiment was successful, so he couldn't wait to inject it into himself.

His brain had already been damaged by then, and it was even more so after being injected with the new mutation drug.

I took the opportunity to kill him.”

Leon narrated it all simply, as if he was just a bystander.

Geralt was silent for a long time, then he softened his tone and said, "You want to find a place for an elderly wizard with dementia to live in, right?"

Leon was stunned, not understanding why Geralt was saying this now. He nodded: "Yes."

Geralt hesitated for a moment and said, "He can live in the White Raven Vineyard. I rarely come here anyway.

I have always hired people to take care of the vineyard, so taking care of an elderly person is not a problem.”

"Thank you." Leon thanked sincerely.
