The Witcher: Darkness Falls

It was the first day of May, and Beauclair was bustling.

The ground is decorated with lights and flowers.

The joyful laughter of children could be heard in the streets and alleys. Men and women were wearing colorful ceremonial costumes with happy smiles on their faces. There were also drunkards with hangovers sleeping on stone pillars.

Duke Gaitan's plan was successful, and the haze brought by the monster was finally dispelled by the joyful atmosphere brought by the festival celebrations.

People were busy enjoying the joy of the festival and seemed to have completely forgotten that there were monsters near Beauclair.

Some bounty hunters and speculators who came here also joined in the festival celebration.

"What a coincidence, Leon, it's so lively here. We missed all the happy times last night!" Eunice looked around happily and felt curious about everything around her.

"Don't you celebrate the festival?" Lyon asked curiously.

The May Festival in Beauclair was indeed very different from what he had seen in Nilfgaard. The people here devoted themselves wholeheartedly to the celebration of the festival.

In Nilfgaard, festivals and celebrations are more of a revelry for the nobles and wealthy families. Common people also celebrate, but joy and sorrow are always changing on their faces.

In addition, the supplies here are also very rich. Fine wine, flowers, honey and other delicacies are even placed directly on the street for those in need to take at will.

There were also dolls and toys sold from the northern countries, as well as some strange decorations that he could not recognize.

"We?" Eunice thought for a moment and shook her head, "We also celebrate festivals, but they are different from yours.

On our festival day, the food will be more abundant, but otherwise it will not be much different from any other day.

My uncle and some other dragons would sometimes transform into human form and go to the human kingdom to participate in celebrations and bring us back some human toys.

Most of the time, dragons sleep, they sleep after they have eaten, and some dragons can sleep for decades or even hundreds of years. "

After listening to Eunice's description, Leon put himself in her shoes and thought that the life of the dragon clan seemed quite boring.

"Does your dragon clan have a ruler like a king or a patriarch? Why doesn't he allow you to go down the mountain?" Leon asked curiously.

While looking at the new things around her, Eunice answered Leon’s question: “We don’t have a patriarch or a king, but we have several elders.

However, they sleep deep in the mountains most of the time, so it is rare to see them. I have only seen them three or four times in my life.

Most of the time, we follow their orders, which actually means listening to our parents and not running around.

In fact, many dragons were curious about the world below the mountain when they were young, but they couldn't stay there for long and would go back.

Also, most dragons are actually unable to transform into human form, which requires talent.

You know the legend about the dragon, right? If we go down the mountain in our true form, we will definitely scare many people to death and attract human punishment.

Although we are not afraid, some humans are very cunning and can use poison and cause harm to us."

As Eunice spoke, her eyes were attracted by a row of candied haws.

"How much is this?" she asked the boss.

The boss was a fat man with a mustache.

He smiled and said, "It's free, beautiful lady, please enjoy it! I used the best hawthorns and coated them with a mixture of cane sugar and honey. It's delicious!"

Eunice said happily: "Thank you very much!"

She took two and handed one to Leon.

“No need…” Leon wanted to say that he was not interested in this, but Eunice directly stuffed a bunch of candied haws into his hand.

"Today is May Day! Come and try it!" Eunice opened her mouth impatiently and took a bite. Her eyes lit up immediately. "It's delicious!"

The boss nearby smiled when he heard Eunice's compliment and said, "Of course, but I am honored to receive compliments from such a beautiful lady!

Sir, please try it! May Day should be joyful and sweet! "

"Thank you." Leon thanked him, took a bite, and then swallowed it.

"How is it?" the boss asked impatiently.

Leon thought about it and decided not to spoil his fun and said, “It’s very sweet, just like it’s wrapped in sugar!”

The boss was stunned for a moment, but still said with a smile: "Although your analogy is strange, I still want to thank you, sir. Do you like it? If you like it, have another one!"

"Thank you, but no thanks." Leon politely declined.

Too sweet, sickly sweet.

No wonder there are so few people, even children, who don’t want to try such tempting candied haws placed here.

I'm afraid only Eunice can handle this kind of sweetness.

Eunice took another one, and then left with Leon with the boss's happy blessing.

The two of them wandered around, mostly Eunice taking Leon around to look around.

After returning to Fringilla's laboratory last night, the two wizards began treating Geralt.

Geralt's poison was too severe and had affected his nervous system, so it would be difficult to treat him. He didn't wake up until this morning and needed further treatment.

Regis had lost too much blood and needed to rest, so he went back to White Crow Vineyard to sleep in the morning.

Eunice and Ciri didn't have any serious problems, as they had metabolized all the blood of Elder Elizabeth that they inhaled.

As for Leon, apart from some problems with his magic core, the injuries on his body no longer posed any major problems after simple treatment.

Yennefer and Fringilla both have ways to help repair his magic core, but the process is more complicated and requires some key materials.

The problem lies with these main materials. They don't have them, and neither does Kaer Morhen, because they are very rare, and some have long been extinct.

Maybe other wizards have it, but if Leon seeks help from other wizards, his identity as a wizard will be exposed.

Leon needs to make a choice between exposing his identity and giving up his identity as a wizard.

However, Yennefer and Fringilla asked Leon not to rush into making a choice. They planned to check the books to see if there were any alternative solutions.

In short, Ciri has to stay by Geralt's side to take care of him, Regis is sleeping, and Yennefer and Fringilla are preparing the potion to treat Geralt.

The only ones who had free time were Leon and Eunice, so Leon accompanied Eunice out for a stroll.

As for the old wizard, no one knew where he went. Ciri and Eunice did not meet him in the cave.

I guess he opened the teleportation array in a hurry and teleported himself away.

Leon was not worried about the old wizard's safety. The old guy was very lucky. If he died, the old wizard might not die either.

So, this time the old wizard disappeared, and he didn't even think about looking for him.

"Lyon, there's an acrobatic performance over there! Let's go and take a look!" Eunice shouted happily while eating a candied haws and pointing at the crowd in the distance.

Leon quietly put the candied haws in his hand into the bouquet next to him and followed Eunice up.
