The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Everyone sorted out the clues in their hands again.

If we infer only from Regis' words, it is very likely that Elder Elizabeth returned to Toussaint after her resurrection to seek revenge on the Dark Elder.

However, her identity now is not only the elder of the vampire clan, but also a believer of the True God Church. I just don't know what position she holds in the True God Church.

They brought goblins and maybe other monsters with them, so their purpose would certainly not be just revenge.

Maybe they were planning to take over Toussaint and develop it into a base for the True God Cult to expand into Nilfgaard.

Because Toussaint has a natural geographical advantage, it is surrounded by mountains, and only a small number of people are needed to guard a few passes to make it difficult for Nilfgaard's army to capture it.

Moreover, there is fertile land here. If eighty percent of the vineyards were removed, the food grown here would be enough to double Toussaint's population.

There are still many areas to be developed. Some geologists have speculated that if Toussaint vigorously develops other undeveloped areas, many mines may be discovered.

Moreover, the forests and water resources here are also very abundant. Human development alone may be very slow and there are dangers everywhere.

But it’s different for vampires, these places are their natural paradise!

After thinking this through, everyone felt that time was running out and they had to immediately open the seal of the cave and get rid of Elder Elizabeth.

While Geralt, Regis and Leon were recovering, the two witches were busy again, brewing potions and modifying magic circles.

From Regis' words, they knew that Elder Elizabeth's strength was definitely not as good as Elder Shadow's.

But this inference is based on the premise that she has not joined the True God Church. She joined the True God Church and then fought back, so she must have something to rely on.

Therefore, their previous preparations against high-level vampires may not be sufficient.

"I hope Elder Shadow is okay." Leon said to himself.

The next morning, Geralt, Regis and Leon recovered. This time they did not plan to investigate anything and planned to go directly to the outside of the Shadow Elder's cave to take a look.

This time, Eunice also came with them.

Geralt had already told Eunice how dangerous this mission was, but not only did she not feel any danger, she was even very excited.

He wanted to persuade her to leave, but Yennefer said bluntly: "You should worry about yourself, she is a dragon!"

Geralt shut up.

They rowed to the Shadow Elder's cave. What Geralt didn't expect was that this place was so close to the Sidiliggar Field. It only took a dozen minutes of rowing!

They walked up a moss-covered stone path for several minutes and finally came to the foot of a low cliff.

From the surface, there was nothing here except a vertical rock wall, but Leon and Geralt could sense faint magical fluctuations.

Geralt stepped forward, pressed his hands against the stone wall in front of him, and closed his eyes.

Soon, everyone saw the stone wall in front of them began to fluctuate like a curtain of water.

But soon this fluctuation also calmed down.

"No, I can't open it. This place is sealed with the power of her blood." Regis withdrew his hand and shook his head.

Eunice stepped forward eagerly and asked, "Can the flame burn it?"

Regis shook his head and said, "No, unless your fire can burn this entire mountain."

Eunice shrugged, saying that was unrealistic.

No dragon can melt a mountain with fire, even if the mountain is very short.

"Why don't we go to Anna Henrietta's tomb? Vampires gather there, there must be something there," Geralt suggested.

Everyone thought it made sense. Since Hall and other vampires were guarding there, there must be something over there.

They were seriously injured in the battle yesterday and there was no time for a thorough examination.

"Then I'll lay the foundation of the magic circle here first. In case she leaves from here, I can stop her for a while." Leon said.

It's sealed here, but there's no guarantee it can be opened from the inside.

At that time, even if Elder Elizabeth was about to leave here, Yennefer and the others would be able to sense it and remotely activate the magic circle to trap her.

Of course, all this is based on the premise that they can win. If they all die in the cave, everything will be in vain.

"Okay!" Geralt nodded.

Then, under Leon's guidance, several people dug holes around the cave and on the stone walls above it.

Last night, Yennefer taught them how to set up the basics of the magic circle.

Although none of them could activate a large magic circle yet, as long as they laid out the basics, there would be no problem letting Yennefer and Fringilla operate it remotely.

More than two hours later, a large magic circle was set up. Even though it hadn't been activated yet, the magic crystals buried in it made Geralt and Leon's Witcher Medals tremble.

They then returned overland to Anna Henrietta's grave.

They saw the land that was scorched by Eunice's fire yesterday, and there were some bounty hunters or knights investigating something nearby.

Obviously, the commotion here yesterday attracted them, but Hall had been burned to ashes by Eunice, and the rest of the vampires were also in the tomb, so they could not find anything.

They avoided these people and made their way to Anna Henrietta's grave.

"There's someone in here!" Regis said immediately.

Everyone quickened their pace and walked towards the tomb door, but before they went in, someone walked out.

Geralt and the others stopped and looked at the people walking out of the tomb.

"Haha, you're late! Look at our harvest, demon hunter, ha! Have you seen a vampire? These are our trophies!" said the bearded bounty hunter in a provocative tone.

This team was actually the same team they encountered when they were fighting against the giants a few days ago!

The bearded bounty hunter's team members came out one after another, holding several bat-winged demons' heads in their hands.

Geralt turned to look at Regis worriedly, but Regis was not angry, or he did not show it.

"Haha, you have nothing to say? You will get nothing. Now, Master Demon Hunter, please get out of the way. We are going to collect the bounty!" said the bearded bounty hunter proudly.

Eunice said indignantly: "This is clearly the spoils of war of Geralt and his men. You shameless people, you didn't kill the vampires at all, you just cut off their heads from their corpses!"

The bearded man and the others looked evasive, but he quickly calmed down and said angrily, “Nonsense, we had a hard battle with the vampires, we prepared holy water, garlic, and... um... we prepared a lot!

We have a companion who is injured. Go away and don't block our way. We are going to collect the reward money to treat my friend's illness!"

Eunice went forward to stop them.

But Regis reached out and held her back.

Eunice was puzzled: "Regis?"

Regis shook his head and led the others to make way.

The bearded man raised his head and walked over proudly.

Regis suddenly said, "The vampire poison requires a special antidote to remove it. I suggest you go find a wizard for treatment."

The bearded man was stunned, and his injured companion's expression became a little panicked.

The bearded man said firmly: "Thank you for your advice, but it is not necessary. We have our own way!"

After these people had completely gone far away, Eunice said anxiously, "Regis, you just let them go like this? This is all thanks to you! There is a lot of reward money!"

Regis shook his head and said, “No, these are not important now, let’s hurry up and solve the problems inside.

As for them, well... good luck to them."
