The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Lyon's heart still couldn't calm down.

Sikori considered high-level vampires threatening and he himself had always been on guard, but he had never encountered one.

And now, this vampire was standing in front of him, chatting with him, and they had even been together all this time!

“I don’t quite understand…” Leon hesitated.

Regis said sympathetically, "It's hard to accept, right? Well... that's normal. In the teaching of demon hunters, vampires should be monsters that deserve special attention, right?

But I'm curious, Leon, based on your experience, you probably haven't received this kind of education, right?"

Leon nodded, and after a long while he said, “Indeed, it’s just… you look like humans, and it’s hard to be detected.

Um...did you confess to Geralt in the same way?"

"Well... almost." Regis said.

"Haha." Geralt laughed dryly. He looked at Regis and said, "When I first met him, he had just crawled out of his grave, pretending to be a barber."

"The barber who crawled out of a grave?" Leon was a little surprised. This excuse was too far-fetched.

Regis immediately explained: "That was during the Second Northern War. There was no safe place in the entire world. The graveyard was actually quite safe. Although there were ghouls, but..."

Yennefer waved her hand, impatiently interrupting Regis's explanation and said, "You are still talking nonsense. Okay, you can discuss your past in private. Now let's talk about the vampires that have appeared here recently.

Regis, tell me, I remember Geralt once said that your friend was…"

Geralt frowned slightly and reminded in a heavy tone: "Ye!"

Yennefer sighed and said in a softer tone, “Please forgive me Regis, I don’t want to expose your scars, but I have a bad feeling.

Fringilla and I went to the cave guarded by the Shadow Elder.

The cave disappeared, and the surroundings were filled with magical power.

We suspect someone used a magic circle to seal off the place."

Regis's expression turned serious. He frowned and asked, "What did you say? Someone sealed that place off?"

Fringilla nodded and said, "Yes, their method is very sophisticated. They used magic runes that we have never seen before. We cannot crack the magic circle.

We all know that vampires exist here. I don't think everyone has such a good temper as you, right?

If it were me, and my secluded place was sealed with powerful magic, I would probably find that abominable guy and make him pay the price after breaking the magic seal!

Once the Shadow Elder breaks the seal, the disaster it brings to Beauclair will be absolutely devastating, and may even affect the surrounding areas."

Regis frowned even deeper, his face full of solemn expression.

Geralt rarely saw this look on Regis's face, and he knew that things must be serious now.

He asked, "Regis, you are able to come back. Has the Shadow Elder forgiven you?"

Regis shook his head slowly, pacing around the room.

"No, I don't know whether he has forgiven me or not."

He stopped, turned to look at Geralt, then looked at Yennefer and Fringilla and said, “But I came back this time because I received his message.

Any vampire that walks out of here must obey the orders of the Shadow Elder, because he knows all our information, understands our weaknesses, and has bloodline suppression on us.

I have lived in Medina for many years, and half a month ago, I suddenly received news from him.

In fact, I don't have to come back, because the farther away we are, the less impact the blood suppression will have on us.

But I think this is an opportunity. If I seize it, I won’t have to hide myself all the time.

Although he won't bother me as long as I don't disturb his peace.

But, Geralt, you know how hard I have been in these years. If I can get the forgiveness of the Shadow Elder, I may be able to make up for what I did wrong. "

"Sorry." Geralt said solemnly.

After all, what happened back then is closely related to him.

There was silence.

Finally, it was Leon who broke the silence. He asked, "What should we do next?"

In fact, Leon didn't know much about the current situation, but through their conversation, he could still guess some things.

Once upon a time, perhaps during the reign of Lady Anna Henrietta, Toussaint was attacked by vampires, and Geralt and Regis dealt with it.

It was also because of this that Regis was expelled by a vampire in Toussaint called the Elder Shadow.

As long as Regis doesn't step into the Toussaint area, the Shadow Elder will not do anything to him.

According to Regis himself, vampires are divided into different classes based on their bloodline, and lower-level vampires cannot refuse the orders of higher-level vampires.

Leon always thought that high-level vampires were the highest level among vampires.

But from listening to their conversation, it turned out that the level of this Shadow Elder was even higher than that of high-level vampires, so much so that high-level vampires like Regis did not dare to set foot in Toussaint without the other party's permission.

Moreover, this shadow elder lives in seclusion in a cave somewhere in Beauclair and does not like to be disturbed.

And now, the place where the Shadow Elder lives in seclusion has been blocked by a magic circle, and even high-level wizards like Yennefer cannot break this magic circle.

The strange thing is that Regis was summoned by the Shadow Elder half a month ago, but he didn't know why the other party summoned him back.

Now, alien vampires have entered Beauclair and have caused the deaths of humans in Beauclair.

Those who came in were not just ordinary vampires, but also high-level vampires like Regis.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for Regis to sense the presence of low-level vampires but be unable to command them.

Now, they must figure out who sealed the cave where the Shadow Elder lived in seclusion, and also find a way to resolve this misunderstanding.

Otherwise, the entire Toussaint and even the surrounding areas will have to bear the wrath of the Shadow Elder.

In fact, Leon really wanted to ask if there was a way to kill the Shadow Elder so that he could solve the problem once and for all.

However, neither Geralt, the legendary demon hunter, nor Yennefer and Fringilla, the two high-level wizards, mentioned this matter.

Or maybe they need to take care of the emotions of Regis, a high-level vampire.

Or maybe they had no confidence in their hearts that they could kill the Shadow Elder.

But judging from the current atmosphere, the latter is more likely.

"We need to go over there and investigate to find out what caused it to be sealed." Regis said slowly.

Geralt nodded and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I don't suggest going there directly. Perhaps... Regis, can you sense where those low-level vampires are? We should be able to start with them."

Regis nodded and said, "It should be possible, as long as there are no high-level vampires forcibly interfering..."
