The Witcher: Darkness Falls

"It hasn't even started yet, why is he reacting so strongly?" Geralt turned his head, not quite understanding Leon's reaction.

"What? Do you know how to use that?" Regis inquired.

While preparing the potion, Geralt said, "Well... I did use it. I found it under a palace.

There was a wizard whose son became a demon hunter by accident, and he had been trying to reverse the process.

But unfortunately, he failed. The mutation is irreversible and will only become more thorough. "

Regis took over the conversation and asked, "So, you used this to undergo a deeper mutation?"

Geralt nodded and said, "Yes. There happened to be materials there, so I made a deeper mutation.

The potion can be atomized inside so that it can penetrate into the body through the skin, making the mutation more stable and faster.

What was that wizard’s name…”

“Thomas Moreau, I just mentioned this person before, this is his mutation control device.

Thomas is a good wizard, Geralt, you should be thankful that he didn't leave any hidden tricks, otherwise you would have died without a burial place." Fringilla stepped forward and said.

Regis smiled and said, "That's really lucky. But how did you find a wizard's laboratory? Was the experiment leaked?"

"Triss told me. She gave me a letter and told me that something here would help me." Geralt said.

"Oh~ It's Triss." Yennefer's sneering voice came from behind him.

Geralt's face remained expressionless.

He came to Toussaint at the invitation of Dame Anna Henrietta, mainly to deal with several homicide cases.

The murderer's methods were extremely cruel and caused some panic in Beauclair.

The Baroness's guards could not find the murderer, so she suspected that it was a monster, and then she thought of Geralt.

After Geralt arrived here, he took the time to follow the instructions in Triss's letter and found Thomas Moreau's laboratory.

Afterwards, through Thomas Moreau's experimental equipment and potions, the body underwent a deeper mutation.

But Geralt knew very well that now was not the time to explain.

So he remained silent.

Yennefer did not continue to dwell on this issue and began to operate the instrument with Fringilla.

hum-

As the sound of the machine starting up was heard, the two poured a potion containing magical power into a funnel-shaped glass container on the side.

whispering sound--

The machine spewed out red steam, which quickly dissipated into the air.

At the same time, the hose began to move and continuously pumped magic potion towards the mutation control device.

The next moment, a magic circle was lit up under the mutation control device, and the powerful magic power turned into thin strands of energy and drilled into the mutation control device.

bump--

The mutation control device vibrated, making a dull sound, and at the same time, Leon's painful growl was heard from inside.

But soon, there was no movement inside.

Geralt turned away, concerned.

Fringilla said coldly, “Focus on Geralt, he’s fine, he should be paralyzed by now.

Also, this device has been modified by me.

When you used it before, you used an atomizer device, and the pipes inside had long been aged, so I changed it to one with more than 200 fine needles.

Now, all these needles are stuck in Leon's body, which is not as comfortable as it was when you were there."

Geralt and Regis shuddered at the same time.

It’s chilling to think about having more than two hundred fine needles inserted into the body.

"This way the potion can work more fully. Not only that, the needles have also been specially treated. They are connected to this glittering crystal, which can monitor Leon's physical mutations and provide real-time feedback." Fringilla said.

Geralt nodded, took a look at the crystal-like thing that was glowing white, said no more, and concentrated on boiling the herbal potion.

Brewing potion is a long process, and similarly, Leon's mutation is also a very long process.

The entire process requires the wizard to cast magic and monitor the physical condition of the demon hunter. This is a process that consumes a lot of magic power and is a challenge for the wizard.

But fortunately, the equipment here is advanced enough, and there are pre-drawn magic circles to assist, so this task is relatively easy for the two high-level wizards Yennefer and Fringilla.

Time passed bit by bit, and with the help of Regis, Geralt had finished brewing the herbal potion.

The herbal medicine is composed of three parts: "Mother's Tears", "Wild Rye Juice" and "Thatch Juice".

These three potions need to be used together, otherwise using any one or two of them will be highly toxic.

In addition to the herbal potion, they also brewed another potion - the mutation stabilizing potion.

This is the potion needed after the Trial of Green Grass, and it is the final step in the entire Demon Hunter mutation.

The Trial of Green Grass will damage the body of the demon hunter and change their structure. There is a 60% to 70% chance that it will kill the demon hunter, and only a 30% to 40% chance that it will make their physique stronger.

The final step, mutation stabilization, is to completely stabilize the demon hunter's mutation so that it will not become erratic.

Only after persisting through this step can the witcher's mutation be truly completed and he can be considered a real witcher.

"Geralt, pour the herbal potion in, you know what to do." Yennefer's voice came from the other side.

Geralt walked forward with three glass bottles, looked at the funnel-shaped mouth in front of him, and asked, "Pour it in here?"

"Where else can it be poured from?" Yennefer asked.

Geralt said nothing more and poured the potion into the bottles one by one.

"Hmm... is there no need to worry about the order?" Regis stood aside, very curious about the Demon Hunter's Green Grass Trial.

“No need,” Geralt replied, “The herbal potion reacts very quickly and cannot be preserved. If it is divided into three types, the preservation time will be longer, but it will not exceed one day.

Pour all three in, and the real herbal medicine will react successfully, otherwise it will be poison. "

As the three medicines were poured into it, the pumping device sent them completely into Leon's body.

"Roar--"

The originally silent mutation control device suddenly vibrated, and a wild beast-like roar was heard from inside.

At the same time, the quiet sparkling crystal began to flash red light.

"The paralysis has worn off! Yennefer!" Fringilla shouted, "The reaction is more intense than I expected, the inhibitor is running low, hurry up!

Geralt, pour the suppressant from the black glass bottle on the table into him, quickly! It will relieve his pain."

Yennefer and Fringilla simultaneously transmitted magic power into the magic circle under the mutation control device.

Geralt immediately picked up the black glass bottle and poured the inhibitor into the funnel.

Gradually, the mutation control device quieted down, but the flickering crystal still flashed a dazzling red light.

Fringilla and Yennefer stopped outputting magic power.

“What’s going on?” Geralt demanded.

Fringilla took a sip of water and said, “He has been calmed down, but the mutation in his body is very drastic.

It seems that we overlooked something in the previous physical examination...but there shouldn't be any problem.

The next step is to wait, which may take an hour or a day..."

"Fringilla, come and take a look, is there something wrong?" At this moment, Yennefer's voice came.

Fringilla put down the water cup in surprise, looked at the flickering crystal that had regained its calm, and walked quickly up.

"Is this normal? It took less than ten minutes from start to finish!" Yennefer asked.

Fringilla was very confused by this and was surprised by the quick reaction.

"No... I don't know. It shouldn't be so fast." She shook her head and said, "But there should be no danger to life."

Geralt and Regis approached.

Regis moved his ears, made a quiet gesture, and then said: "I heard his breathing, very rhythmic breathing..."
