The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 215 Mechanism

When they returned to Anna Henrietta's tomb, they saw vampire corpses all over the floor, their heads cut off by the bearded bounty hunters.

If nothing unexpected happens, if there are no high-level vampires to resurrect them, all the vampires here will be completely dead.

Regis just sighed and said nothing.

Afterwards, they walked all the way inside the tomb passage. It was dark inside, and there was nothing on both sides of the passage except for the elf statues guarding it.

Fortunately, Geralt and the others had the ability of night vision, so they saved the effort of lighting torches or fuel lamps.

Not long after they walked inside, they arrived at the main tomb chamber.

The main tomb chamber is very spacious, with a round vault. On the stone platform in the middle stands an exquisitely carved sarcophagus, which is the coffin of Anna Henrietta.

Dried flowers were placed around the coffin, and there was a circle of elf statues guarding it.

Everyone looked around the tomb and finally found something strange behind an elf statue.

"There are fluctuations of magic here," said Geralt.

Leon asked: "Do we need to move the statue? Or is there some other mechanism here?"

Regis walked forward to check it out, took out a knife and cut his palm, and blood oozed out.

Everyone discovered that Regis' blood was very viscous and would not flow out at all.

He placed his hand on the elf statue, smeared it casually, and then stepped back.

When everyone got closer, they saw Regis' blood slowly moving and then seeping into the elf statue.

The next moment, three portals appeared in front of them.

“Which one?” Geralt asked.

Regis shook his head and said, “It’s not about which one should go, but all of them should go.

This is a little trick of the vampire, specially used to keep out outsiders.

Behind each portal is an illusion with a mechanism inside. We need to crack the mechanism inside to actually pass through the portal and reach the other side of the portal."

Geralt nodded slightly, thinking that he was familiar with this and had encountered things like this often before.

"Want to fight?" Leon asked.

Regis shook his head and said, “I don’t know, maybe it’s just a puzzle, or maybe you just need to defeat some enemy guarding the gate, or maybe it’s a maze or something.

In short, before I went in, I didn’t know what was inside these three teleportation arrays.

The mechanisms in the three teleportation arrays need to be cracked, otherwise the people who enter will be trapped inside until the magic is exhausted or the person who set up the mechanism takes the initiative to remove it. "

Geralt hesitated for a moment and asked, "Can we crack them all at once or one by one?"

Regis shook his head again: "I don't know, whatever you said is possible."

Eunice suggested: "In that case, why don't we split up and act separately? Whether we need to crack them all at the same time or one by one, we just need to crack the mechanism inside."

"You're right. Most vampires know how to deal with the mechanisms here. What about you?" Regis asked worriedly.

Eunice patted Regis on the shoulder and said, "Trust us, there will be no problem!"

Regis was silent for a moment, nodded and said, "Okay, I believe you. Now there are four of us, and two of them must want to go together. I am enough. What do you want to choose?"

Geralt said: "I shouldn't have any problem. I have experience."

When he was looking for Xirui, what kind of mechanisms had he not seen?

"Then I'll go with Leon. Come on, let's see who can crack the mechanism first!" Eunice said excitedly.

"Be careful." Regis nodded and took the lead to enter a portal.

Then Geralt glanced at Leon, turned around and walked into the nearest portal.

Seeing that both of them had chosen their targets, Eunice urged Leon to set off quickly.

Leon took a deep breath, used magic power to protect his head, and then stepped into the last teleportation array with Eunice.

After entering the teleportation array, the scene before their eyes immediately changed.

Now, they were in an open space, which was a circle with a diameter of nearly 20 meters. It was surrounded by tall trees and there was a bright white sun in the sky ahead.

In addition, three roads appeared before them.

"Strange, this sun seems to have no temperature?" Eunice looked around curiously, then raised her head to look at the sun in the sky.

Leon also felt it was strange. Logically speaking, the temperature around should be very high under the sunlight of this color, but now there was no temperature at all.

"Where is the mechanism? How do we crack it?" Eunice walked around and looked around, but didn't find anything that they needed to crack.

Just then, Leon noticed that the sun began to set in the distant sky, and at the same time, the forest behind them was gradually getting darker.

And this is not the most important thing, bat-winged demons began to appear in the rear!

"Be careful! Let's run that way!" Lyon said, pointing to the only one of the three roads that was fully illuminated by sunlight.

And that road is the only road without bat-winged demons.

"Oh oh!" Eunice turned her head and was also stunned by the bat-winged demons that appeared on the other two roads.

There are too many of them, densely packed together, there are hundreds of them, and their number is still increasing!

It was already difficult for Lyon to deal with just a few of them, and he couldn't defeat all of them.

There are not many bombs in his Aether Ring, and they are useless against the vampire in front of him.

The two of them immediately ran towards the sun, and the bat-winged demon behind them also chased after them with a roar.

However, the bat-winged demons were all in the shadows, and if they ran faster, the other side would be unable to do anything to them.

Leon and Eunice ran for more than ten minutes. Just when they were thinking about whether to run into the forest next to them, they suddenly discovered that the forest next to them was also densely packed with bat-winged demons.

The two gave up the idea.

Soon, an open space appeared at the end of the road in front of them. After the two ran over, they were surprised to find that the scene in front of them was exactly the same as before!

"Leon, are we lost? Why are we back here?" Eunice also noticed something unusual and asked quickly.

Leon shook his head and said, “Impossible, in such a short time, if we go back, I will definitely find it.

Look at the road ahead, it's very straight, there are no turns at all."

"So what's going on now?" Eunice asked in confusion.

Leon shook his head, not understanding either.

And at this moment, the sun in the sky suddenly changed the direction of its falling.

The two had no choice but to continue running after the sun.

After they went through three more similar scenes, Eunice became annoyed.

"No! Leon, I don't want to run anymore!" Eunice looked up angrily at the setting sun in the sky and said, "Is the mechanism the sun? Do you want us to shoot it down?"

"The sun?" Leon also stopped and looked at the sun in the sky, feeling a little uncertain.

This mechanism was designed by vampires, how could it be possible to shoot down the sun?

"Vampire...the sun..." Leon suddenly seemed to realize something. He turned his head and looked at the densely packed bat-winged demons behind him.
