The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Chapter 237 Elf Altar

In the past, May Festival only took place from the evening of April 30th to the early morning of May 1st. During this period, people dressed up and organized various programs to celebrate the passing of winter and the arrival of spring.

At the same time, the night is also the time for strangers to meet each other. Because it is a festival, everyone is very relaxed, and after the fun, no one recognizes each other.

The celebration was supposed to last only one night, but due to the order of Duke Gaitan and because of the monster, the people of Beauclair urgently needed an excuse to vent their dissatisfaction and release their mental stress.

Therefore, May Day lasted for three days.

During these three days, while enjoying the festive joy, Lyon was also helping Eunice with this matter.

It all started with a sudden anxiety that Eunice had, for reasons she couldn't quite put her finger on.

Later they found Yennefer and Fringilla, hoping to use their magical powers to find out the reason for Eunice's anxiety.

Finally, it was Fringilla who took action and cast six levels of illusion magic, successfully luring Eunice into a deep illusion, making her completely open her heart, and then she found the source of her inner anxiety.

In fact, the easiest and most effective way to find out the real reason for a person's anxiety is to use psychic techniques.

Spiritualism can directly contact the soul level, and the soul cannot lie.

Even Eunice's spirit itself might not know the specific cause of the anxiety, but mediumship can be much more nuanced.

Things that Eunice herself ignored, but which would definitely leave traces on her soul.

If a psychic performs spiritualism, he will discover these subtle traces. Combined with the fact that spiritualism itself has the function of prediction and divination, he will quickly find out the reason for Eunice's anxiety.

However, neither Yennefer nor Fringilla can perform necromancy.

But Fringilla's illusion skills are quite amazing. After all, she has an uncle who specializes in illusion. Her attainments in illusion skills may not be as good as masters like Stregobor who specialize in illusion, but she is much better than other wizards.

By using multiple illusions to make Eunice fall into them and gradually open up her heart, a similar effect to telepathy can be achieved, but the process is much more complicated and dangerous.

Moreover, after performing multiple illusions, they needed to be unravelled one by one to prevent Eunice from falling too deeply into the illusion and losing track of reality.

But fortunately, the final goal was achieved.

What caused Eunice to be deeply anxious was that there were people of her race in Beauclair.

In other words, there are dragons in Beauclair besides Eunice.

"How is it? Can you feel where it is?" Leon asked.

In the Sansrado Swamp, Leon, Regis and Eunice searched carefully.

Dragons have a sense of connection with each other, just like vampires have a sense of connection with each other.

The only difference is that the induction between vampires is the absolute induction of the superior to the inferior. If vampires of the same level do not want to be discovered by their own kind, they can completely block it.

This method relies on the connection between bloodlines. Only those of the same level can block the aura released by their own bloodlines and prevent their own kind from noticing it.

The dragons' mutual perception is more like that of ordinary wild beasts.

As long as the dragons move frequently within a certain range, they will leave behind a hormonal scent, which will float in the air and spread to the surrounding environment with the wind.

Some ferocious beasts will stay away from the area when they smell this scent, while dragons can identify the gender and approximate age of their own kind when they smell it.

Eunice smelled this scent, but it was very different from the scent of dragons she usually came into contact with.

This smell made her feel very uncomfortable, so she felt uneasy and anxious.

In fact, she even ignored this breath at the beginning, and didn't think it was left by the dragon.

It was Fringilla's illusion magic that pinpointed the source of her uneasiness and helped her find the similarities between this breath and the breath left by the dragon.

Therefore, Eunice confirmed that there were dragons in Beauclair, but they were different from the dragons she had encountered before.

Leon, Ciri, and Regis all came to help.

Geralt was still recovering from his injuries these days, and Ciri was unable to help him there.

Although Regis had not recovered much, he was not a man who could sit idle, and there was no point in him staying in the manor, so he came to help.

In addition, he was quite familiar with the Sansredo Swamp. After all, he had collected mandrakes there for a long time to make wine.

"Over there." Eunice moved her nostrils slightly, sniffed the air, then pointed in a direction and said.

The swamp was filled with the smell of rotting vegetation, especially mixed with water vapor. After Leon came in, his sense of smell became less sensitive.

The main reason is that he can't smell the scent left by the dragon, otherwise he could help.

Regis looked at where Eunice's hand was pointing, frowned, and began to recall.

"Well... over there, I remember there is an altar over there, a very ancient altar." Regis said.

"Altar? What is it used for? An altar for worshiping gods?" Eunice asked curiously.

Regis nodded and said, “Yes, it is for offering sacrifice to the gods.

You should know that Toussaint was once ruled by the elves, and this place was not a swamp a long time ago. Due to Nasser's failure to control the water, Toussaint had a flood in history and was submerged.

But after the flood receded, some places became swamps, and that is how the Sansredoh Swamp was formed.

However, the area of ​​the swamp is actually shrinking every year because the water in the swamp is flowing out. Therefore, the ancient elven buildings that were submerged by water will reappear.

I have seen that altar two hundred years ago, but only a little bit of it was visible at that time. Two hundred years have passed, and it should have been fully revealed.

And the direction Eunice pointed just now is exactly the direction of the altar."

"Let's go and take a look first." Lyon said.

No matter what is over there, the breath of the dragon is coming from there, so they have to go over and take a look.

Led by Regis, the three of them quickly approached the altar of the elves.

After about an hour, Xirui frowned and asked hesitantly: "Regis, will the altar of the elves be equipped with magic circles?"

Regis shook his head and said, "Probably not. I tried to explore it before, and the altar had been corroded to the point where only the base was left. I didn't find any traces of a magic circle.

What's wrong? Did you notice something? "

Ciri turned to look at Leon.

Leon said in a deep voice: "My badge is beating, Regis, how far is it from here to the altar?"

"It's not far, about two kilometers..." Regis said.

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw the Demon Hunter Medal on Leon's chest began to shake violently.

"A sudden explosion of magic!" Leon stared ahead with a serious expression.

Suddenly, Eunice held her head and said in pain: "No...no..."

Then, tears flowed down her cheeks, and she looked at Leon sadly and said, “I’m so sad Leon, I don’t know why, I’m so sad!”

hold head high--

Then, a ragged and low roar sounded.

The next moment, everyone saw a giant black dragon that covered the sky and the sun flying over the sky and pouncing towards Boclain.
