The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 2 This Magical World

Leon put on his clothes and stood in front of the mirror. He looked carefully at the bearded man inside.

The man inside was wearing black soft armor, had short white hair, a high nose bridge that was very three-dimensional, and an angular face that was extremely handsome.

If it weren't for those snake-like vertical pupils, Leon believed that with just this handsome face, he could definitely visit prostitutes all over the continent without paying a penny.

This is not his narcissism, this is what a duchess said after she had a great time.

She lay on Leon's chest and said seductively, "Oh Leon, it would be great if you were not a witcher, then you could be my lover, but it's a pity that you are a witcher."

Demon hunter is his profession and also his race.

Just like dwarves, elves, halflings, etc., they are a certain race.

Demon hunters are also human beings, at least that's what Leon thinks, but others don't think so.

They think that demon hunters are a group of monsters who have no fear and only know how to kill.

They are powerful, agile, and have excellent hearing, smell, and vision. Except that they do not eat humans, they are no different from the monsters in the wilderness.

But in fact, it’s not that demon hunters have no fear, but the magic drugs have long messed up their bodies.

In addition to changing their eyes and hair and granting them great powers, the magic potion also made their personalities very calm.

When encountering monsters, they can hide their fear for the first time.

When encountering a monster, the first reaction of ordinary people is to run away in fear.

Demon hunters also have this reaction when they first encounter monsters, but their instinct will forcefully suppress their fear and then order them to charge forward.

After experiencing many battles with monsters, their first reaction when encountering a monster is to draw their swords. Even without swords, they will rush forward and fight the monster without hesitation.

Only at this time can they be called demon hunters, and most people have seen demon hunters from this period.

Those demon hunters who failed to overcome their fear died in their first fight with the monster, and most people just couldn't see it.

Leon yawned, washed his face, softened his beard with soap, and then shaved it clean with the dagger that pierced John's spine.

The dagger was also his, as were the two other swords, a silver sword and a steel sword.

Of course, the silver sword is not made of pure silver, pure silver is too soft, only the core of the sword is pure silver.

However, there are runes engraved by dwarves on it. It is said that this is Mahakam's latest enchantment technology, which minimizes the loss of silver without affecting its use.

Both swords and the dagger were forged by his dwarf friend Jeraka.

He is very good at using these three weapons, so after completing this mission, he will stop by to visit this friend.

If he remembered correctly, Jeraka lived in Dan Rowan. It was said that he had saved money to buy a shop and opened a blacksmith shop specializing in making weapons.

The last time they met was in the City of Golden Towers - Nilfgaard, which was the capital of the Nilfgaard Empire and one of the most prosperous cities in the ancient continent.

Leon wiped his face clean, slung the shoulder bag made of fork-tailed dragon skin across his waist, put the dagger in his boots, and then slung the two swords on his waist, one on the left and one on the right.

Finally, he hung a bronze cat-head medal around his neck and put it inside the lining.

This is the Demon Hunter Medal, and also the key item for him to cast magic.

Unlike the wizards who created them, demon hunters are magical creatures, but they do not have the ability to use magic.

The monsters they face are often very powerful, and some even have magic, such as night demons and vampires.

Therefore, strong physical fitness cannot guarantee their safety 100%, they also need magic props.

Thus, the Demon Hunter Medal was created.

Wearing them, the demon hunter can not only sense nearby magic fluctuations in advance, but can even use them to use some simplified magical methods.

Of course, the most important means for a demon hunter is still his swordsmanship skills, and magic is just the icing on the cake.

Leon picked up the poisonous horned lizard's tail and made sure nothing was dropped, then he stepped over John's body and went to another room.

He heard steady breathing and smelled a familiar scent.

It was a floral scent similar to that of jasmine, a scent mixed with milk that had intoxicated him last night.

He pushed the door open and saw a beauty sleeping soundly on the double bed in the guest room.

Eliza, the woman who had sex with him last night, is also Joey's wife.

Leon threw down a hundred florins and said, "This is the price of a famous prostitute in the Golden Tower City."

He has never been reluctant to pay for a good experience.

After doing all this, he left the room without looking back.

The hotel was empty, as John said, they had already cleared it out.

These two guys were probably well-known bullies in the village, but no one went against their wishes.

But it’s a good thing. It will be convenient for him to leave then. If there were still people here, it would have caused a commotion.

When he went out, the dazzling sunlight shone on Leon's face, and he realized that it was already noon.

Leon came to the stable and put the horned lizard's tail back into the saddle bag.

In the saddlebags were some materials he had cut from the monsters, which he planned to sell to the Wizarding Guild for some extra money.

Ordinary people avoid these things because they are too scary.

But wizards, on the contrary, regard these as excellent materials for making magical potions.

They also issue bounty missions every once in a while, specifically asking people to help find these materials.

Apart from some desperate criminals, I guess only demon hunters are willing to take such a mission.

After packing up the saddle, Leon rode the old horse out of the inn.

Outside the inn wall, several people were already looking inside the inn, including the inn owner and his wife.

They waited anxiously, and when they saw Leon come out, their hearts finally died.

The couple looked deathly pale and their lips were trembling.

Leon heard the woman muttering, "It's over. Count Berne will kill us. He will!"

Then she pointed at Leon and screamed at her man: "Can't let him get away!"

The innkeeper turned pale but soon regained consciousness.

He suddenly picked up the pitchfork outside the courtyard wall and stood in front of Leon, pointing the pitchfork at Leon and shouting, "Stop, you can't leave! You must pay the price!"

Leon glanced at him, drew his iron sword, and rushed forward with his horse's belly.

He swung his sword and cut off the wooden handle of the pitchfork.

"Ah!" The innkeeper screamed and fell to the ground. He turned around in panic and saw a shining steel sword pointed in front of him.

"No! You can't kill me, don't kill me!" the innkeeper begged tremblingly.

Leon stared at the terrified man with cold eyes and said, "Are you scared now? Why did you dare to point a weapon at me just now?"

The innkeeper was trembling and dared not say a word. He was frightened by Leon's snake-like eyes and became incontinent, peeing all over the floor.

Leon snorted coldly, and his cold eyes swept across the people present, causing them to step back unconsciously.

He saw looks of disgust and fear on these people's faces, as if they were looking at a monster.

He was already used to this kind of look, so he didn't take it seriously.

Lyon put away his sword, rode his horse towards the city of Dan Rowan without looking back, trying to arrive before dark.

However, the day did not fulfill everyone's wish.

As he passed a swamp, the bright sky suddenly turned dark, as if covered by a layer of blood.

The cat-head medal on his chest began to tremble violently, with such intensity that it seemed to have come back to life and was trying to break free from his neck.

Then, the old horse under him suddenly stopped moving forward and became anxious.

Leon raised his head, and even as calm as he was, he was stunned at this moment.

The sun turned red!
