The Witcher: Darkness Falls

In Fringilla's laboratory, Leon and Geralt were wrapped in gauze all over their bodies, and were sitting in a healing magic circle with Regis to heal their wounds.

Lying on the central stone platform of the magic circle was Leon's life pendant.

As the magic circle operated, the life pendant seemed to have life, flickering slowly as if it was breathing.

The injuries on the three people were healing at an incredible speed.

Just as Leon thought, there were indeed runes inside the pendant, and it did have an actively driven spell.

However, it was a little different from what he thought.

There are not two magics in it, but only one magic.

That is the transformation of life force.

The transformed vitality here is very different from when Leon used it.

When Leon used the life pendant before, it couldn't be said that he used it actively, but it was a function that came with the life pendant.

That is, it balances the vitality.

If you don't recite the mantra to actively drive the life pendant, it will be like a gate in the middle of a canal.

On both sides are different levels of vitality reserves.

When the vitality reserve on one side is higher than that on the other side, it will automatically transfer the higher side to the lower side until the two sides are balanced or one side is "filled up".

If only one person uses it, it will transfer the vitality in the life pendant into the body of the person holding it.

Of course, the prerequisite is that there is enough vitality stored in the life pendant.

If there is little or even no energy, the life pendant will not only fail to heal the wound, but will also absorb the vitality of the person holding the life pendant.

But if you actively recite the spell to drive the life pendant, it will forcibly absorb the vitality of other people or creatures to heal the user.

Of course, this is not the main point. By chanting the spell, it will absorb the chaotic power in the air, transform it into vitality, and heal the user.

If the user is healthy and not injured, it will absorb excess life force and store it, and then release it when needed.

However, the greatest function of this life pendant is actually the core of a magic circle.

Build a matching healing magic circle and place the life pendant in it so that it can unleash its true power.

At this time, the life pendant can absorb the chaotic energy in the air to the maximum extent, convert it into pure vitality, and heal the injured people in the magic circle.

When Leon learned the true use of the life pendant, he secretly rejoiced.

Fortunately, when he first got the life pendant, the vitality stored in it was higher than his own, and he took the initiative to replenish a lot of it later, so he had been wearing it without any problems.

When he dealt with Howl two hours ago, Howl's vitality was far higher than his, so the life pendant extracted Howl's vitality to heal him and Geralt.

Besides, when he first got the life pendant, there was nothing inside it, so he probably must have destroyed it long ago.

And now, its secret has been discovered by Yennefer and Fringilla, and is being used to heal the injuries of the three of them.

At this rate of healing, coupled with the healing potions prepared by Yennefer and Fringilla, their injuries are expected to recover before dark.

On the side, Eunice looked curiously at the large number of instruments in front of her in the room.

Yennefer and Fringilla stood in front of the communication device, with a three-dimensional projection of a human woman in front of them.

The woman inside finished speaking and sat on a chair looking at Yennefer and Fringilla.

"The True God Church has actually developed to this point, and it's only been a short time?!" Fringilla said in surprise.

The woman's projection spoke, "It's been two or three years, Fringilla. You've been in Toussaint for too long and don't know what's going on outside."

Then, changing the subject, she asked, "Where's Geralt? Is he hurt? How is he?"

Geralt opened his eyes and looked over.

Yennefer glanced at Geralt, crossed her arms, raised her chin slightly and said, "He's fine, nothing happened, he just hasn't moved for many years, and when he was needed, he accidentally fell."

The woman on the other end of the communication device obviously didn't believe Yennefer's words. She asked, "Is it troublesome? Do you want me to come to Toussaint?"

Yennefer shook her head and said, "No, you stay put in Vizima and keep an eye on the True God Cult's movements. I have a bad feeling about this."

The woman smiled bitterly and said, “I have one more thing to tell you.

We didn't know where those damn monsters came from before, but when you told me today, I realized it was the True God Church's doing.

But now, even if I tell it to others, no one will believe it.

Just seven days ago, a riot broke out in Tretoge. The cause was that Charles II expelled a bishop, which caused dissatisfaction among the believers of the True God Church. They went to the palace to ask Charles II for an explanation.

Charles II made a stupid decision. He ordered the guards to expel the believers, and as you know, the guards were a very rude bunch.

During the scuffle, two believers were killed, and the angry believers rushed to the palace.

At first Charles II did not take it seriously and therefore did not mobilize the royal army, but later it was over.

They had many followers, most of whom were nearby farmers, hunters and refugees. Charles II escaped through a secret passage under the escort of the guards.

He fled to Novigrad, where he publicly apologized to the bishop and asked for forgiveness. He then even declared his belief in the true God and promised to build a magnificent church in order to ask the true God to forgive his arrogance and ignorance.

Yennefer and Fringilla's expressions became serious, even sad.

The woman on the other side of the communication device shrugged and shook her head slightly, saying, "You and I both know that Charles II just wants to keep his position as King of Redania.

But it is not a good sign that the king has sworn allegiance to the church. No king has ever bowed to religion, at most he has just cooperated with it.”

Yennefer was silent for a moment and then asked, "What did Radovid VIII say? He is the king of Temeria. His old enemy declared his allegiance to the True God Church. It is impossible that he would not react at all, right?"

The woman said worriedly, “This is what I’m going to talk about next.

I don't know how it happened, but the news about Cui Tog reached Vizima at a speed even faster than our communication speed.

Many believers have gone to the door of the mayor of Vizima and shouted, asking him to ask Radovid VIII whether he would be loyal to the True God Church.

Yesterday afternoon, Radovid VIII came to me and said he hoped to get help from the Wizard Association to find a way to check and balance the True God Cult in Vizima."

Fringilla immediately said, "There must be someone behind this. It's obvious that it must be someone from the True God Church, because they benefit the most!"

Redania and Temeria are the two most powerful countries in the entire north. Their kings have relatives with the surrounding countries and are even kings of other countries.

If the kings of these two countries swear allegiance to the True God Church, it would almost mean that the entire north is the territory of the True God Church!
