The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Beauclair, which was shrouded in the shadow of the monster, has recently become lively again.

Although many people have left Beauclair because of the monster attacks, there are still tens of thousands of local residents who are working hard to prepare for the upcoming May Day.

People laid flowers on both sides of the road, decorated door lintels with red silk and cotton and linen fabrics, and sprayed perfume everywhere in the city.

Duke Gaitan even publicly announced that Toussaint would be exempted from taxes for one month, and required all shops to sell their goods at a 20% discount, and he would pay the rest out of his own pocket.

Not only that, the arena, which has been closed for several months, will open again the day before May Day.

On that day, there will be knightly parade performances and fights between gladiators and monsters.

There will be wonderful circus performances at the Sidi Liga Theater, and fine wine will be placed on both sides of the road in the palace garden for everyone to taste.

There is even a huge fireworks display in front of the Beauclair Palace on May night.

The Duke of Gaitan proudly announced to the people of Beauclair that he was going to hold a May Festival like no other. Everyone should be involved!

Although the residents are still worried about the appearance of monsters, the arrival of a large number of bounty hunters and mercenaries, as well as the fact that there have been no monster attacks in the past month, have made them feel a little more at ease.

The most important thing is that Duke Gaitan told everyone that two powerful demon hunters appeared in Beauclair, enough to deal with all the monsters.

Ever since Geralt solved the vampire crisis in Beauclair two hundred years ago, the legend of the witcher has been passed down under the promotion of Baroness Anna Henrietta.

If we were to ask which place in the world is the most friendly to witchers, Toussaint would be it.

Compared to legends like vampires and giants, demon hunters are nothing more than mutated humans, but at least they are still human.

How can one be afraid of another?

Therefore, everyone believes that the Demon Hunter will be able to resolve the current crisis.

Therefore, coupled with the optimistic nature of the people of Toussaint, people's fear of monsters was immediately diluted in the cheerful festive atmosphere.

Everyone forgot about the monsters and just enjoyed the joy of the festival.

“Well… optimistic people will never have bad luck, and will be more likely to be happy than others.

But now is obviously not the time. I think Duke Gaitan is too stupid. Now is not the time to celebrate.

The more people there are, the more likely it is that something unexpected will happen. "Even someone as optimistic as Regis was speechless about Duke Gaitan's behavior, and even expressed his opposition.

Geralt stood aside and said nothing, but just frowned.

It can be seen that he is also very worried about this May Day.

"I have a bad feeling about this," Geralt said, "but it's too late now.

By the way, old wizard, have you found your birds? "

The next day after arriving here, Leon returned to White Crow Vineyard from Fringilla's laboratory and wanted to wake the old wizard up for dinner.

After shouting for a long time, the old wizard didn't respond. When he pushed the door open, the old wizard disappeared, and there was still a faint magical power in the room.

Leon judged that the old wizard must have opened the portal unknowingly and teleported himself to an unknown place.

When Geralt and his companions returned, he told them what happened.

Regis said not to worry, he would find the old wizard.

And there is still no result until now.

"The most likely possibility is that he teleported out of Toussaint. Of course, this is the best case scenario. After all, this place may not be safe in the future," said Regis.

Geralt exhaled. “I hope so.”

He hadn't seen what the old wizard looked like yet.

However, with May Day only three days away, they were all busy preparing for what was to come and had no time to look for each other.

In front of them, in Fringilla's laboratory, Leon was also preparing for the next mutation.

He was naked and immersed in a green, herbal-scented magic potion.

According to Fringilla, this potion is a supplementary potion specially formulated based on the three main potions of the Trial of Grass.

When the experimental subject is immersed in it, an energy ball can be temporarily formed in its body.

When the Green Grass Trial is officially carried out, once the test subject can no longer endure the damage to the body caused by the potion and the genes in the body begin to collapse uncontrollably, this energy ball will be released immediately.

The energy ball will instantly release a huge amount of vitality to slow down the speed of genetic collapse, which will provide precious life-saving time for the wizards who are preparing on the side.

The Green Grass Trial process happens very quickly, and even if there are wizards ready at all times, the probability of successfully rescuing the experimental subject is very low.

What's more, after Fringilla's examination, Leon's physical fitness has actually surpassed that of an ordinary demon hunter.

Therefore, the dosage of magic potion for him is more than three times that of an ordinary witcher apprentice.

Soaking in this energy potion in advance will better protect his life.

"You learn quickly and now have mastered precise control over magic.

Leon, your biggest advantage over other demon hunters is that you are also a wizard.

Remember, when your genes begin to collapse and the energy groups in your body rupture, you also need to release your own magic power as much as possible to stabilize your body's trend of collapse.

When wizards are transforming themselves, they may sometimes use potions improperly, perhaps due to improper dosage or type. In short, it is easy for their genes to collapse.

However, we all have backup measures, but the most important thing is that we can rely on magic to stabilize our genes so that the situation does not deteriorate too quickly.

Demon hunters mutate faster than us, and to save time, we also conduct the Trial of Grass and Mutation together, so you must stay awake at all times." Yennefer gave the final instructions.

Leon nodded.

In addition to preparing mutagenic potions and things to deal with vampires these days, he was also learning the precise control of magic from Fringilla and Yennefer.

This was a skill that a wizard should learn during his apprenticeship, but he was born a wild man and could only make up for it now.

Fortunately, he has a good learning ability and has basically mastered how to accurately control magic power.

In the past, he would only release the magic power in his body to the outside, but now, he can release it inside his body without hurting himself.

This is a great improvement, which also means that if he suffers internal injuries in the future, he can rely on magic to diagnose and treat them in a targeted manner.

Instead of relying on guessing and feeling, and then wasting vitality using the life pendant to cover it completely.

"Okay, everything is ready here, you can go over there. Also, Geralt, get ready to make the herbal potion, Regis, get ready to bleed." Fringilla said, she had completed the final debugging of the necessary equipment.

Then, Leon stood up and walked into the instrument that looked like an iron coffin.

"Let's start." Leon said after taking a deep breath.

Fringilla pressed the switch button, and the next moment, iron rings popped out from Leon's limbs, forehead, waist, and chest, locking him tightly.

"This doesn't feel very good." He was completely fixed to the device and could hardly move.

At the same time, the door of the equipment slowly closed. He saw that there were dense holes on the door and wondered what it was used for.

But then, he knew.

"Um!!!"

Leon clenched his teeth and groaned.

The hole is actually filled with tiny needles!

The moment the door closed, the needle pierced directly into his body.

Moreover, these syringes are not only in front of him, but also behind him!

"At least let me know in advance..."
