The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon and Zival were walking down the street, preparing to meet Gammill and the others.

After chatting with the Earl of Grampian in the castle for a while, Lyon was conscripted. The conscription order would be posted after Madison's men brought back the bodies of the goblins.

This is the official announcement.

As the Earl of Grampian said, it is the duty of every citizen of the empire to defend the empire's territory and citizens from the threat of foreign forces. Once the official conscription order is issued, no one can refuse.

Lyon has no ties and can just walk away or even refuse directly.

But the consequence of doing so is that he will then have to start a life of escape, either fleeing to the north or fleeing into the forest.

In short, he could not stay in Nilfgaard any longer.

By then, every city will have a wanted poster for him.

A demon hunter is on the wanted list and can't escape even if he wants to.

Their facial features are so obvious that even if ordinary people have never seen him, they can recognize him through description.

But Leon had no intention of running away.

Because the task given to him by Earl Grampian was not to completely eliminate the goblins, because this was simply unrealistic.

The first thing he had to do was to find the goblins' lair and rescue the abducted women, dead or alive.

According to the information about the goblins provided by Zivar, these bastards only eat men, while women are used as tools for them to give birth and satisfy their sexual desires, and they are most likely still alive.

Leon needs to find them and rescue them, and Madison will command the army to cooperate with him.

The second thing is to find the laboratory or person that developed the goblins and destroy it!

There are only two things in total. The first one is not difficult for Leon. He only needs to go to places where goblins often appear, and then use his tracking ability to track them down.

The second thing was difficult, and he had no idea what to do about it.

Fortunately, the Earl of Grampian gave us a piece of information, that is, there is indeed a small town called Ryan in the Grampian area, which is not far from here and can be reached in half a day by horseback riding.

He could go to the small town of Ryan to investigate.

However, before starting the mission, he needs to find Denzel to cancel the escort mission, and the Earl of Grampian will pay the full amount of liquidated damages.

"Zivali, do goblins have their own writing?" Leon suddenly asked while walking on the road.

He just remembered that when Stregobor was popularizing the Knight's Breathing Technique to him, he seemed to have mentioned words such as goblin history and writing.

"No." Zival denied it outright. He looked up at Leon and said, "If someone told you this, he must be talking about the dwarfs. Remember what I said, Leon, goblins and dwarfs, standing there naked, even they themselves can't tell them apart.

But once they start talking, the truth is revealed.

I remember my grandfather said that goblins do have a language, but it is very simple, not complicated, just like Camilla. It is impossible for such a race to develop written language, as they have difficulty using their brains.

If you find goblin writing, it should be dwarven writing."

Leon nodded. This meant that many wizards, including Stregobor, might have made a mistake.

But that's true, the goblins are thousands of years old, and maybe they had already been extinct before the Doc people came.

And Stregobor is only over six hundred years old, there are few older than him.

Most of the wizards' knowledge comes from the elves, but the relationship between elves and dwarves is not harmonious...

Lyon suddenly realized that he seemed to have discovered something that was useless but remarkable.

Dwarves are not keen on recording history, and any history they have is passed down in the form of legends.

But the elves can write, but in the form of poetry or epic.

So, have the dwarves, who are on good terms with the dwarves, been affected by the conflict between the dwarves and the elves?

For example, after the elves and dwarves cooperated to eliminate the goblins, they then called the dwarves goblins?

"Leon, what are you thinking about?" Zivar asked in confusion when he saw Leon suddenly stop.

"I thought of something interesting." Lyon replied with a smile.

Zival became interested: "What's the matter? Share it with me! I can buy you a drink!"

Leon expressed his guess.

As a result, Zival immediately said in disappointment: "I thought it was something else. We already knew it. Those elves are a group of hypocritical guys. The purer the elves, the more so. You must be more careful when you meet them in the future."

"Okay." Leon nodded.

Soon they found the hotel where Denzel and his friends were staying.

In fact, the location is easy to find, because at this moment, the entrance of the hotel is already crowded with people.

"Hand over the monster and hang these damned beasts!"

"The Earl has issued an order. Are you soldiers going to rebel?"

"Get these bastards out! Not just gnomes, but dwarves and half-elves too!"

"I've said it before, these beasts want to eat people, they are monsters!"

……

The crowd blocking the inn expressed their dissatisfaction and demanded that the dwarf in the inn be handed over.

Madison stood at the door with a frown on his face, preventing these people from entering.

"Shut up! These are the Earl's orders! If you dare to take another step forward, don't blame me for being rude!" Madison said in a bad tone, and at the same time ordered the soldiers next to him, "Whoever dares to step forward will be killed!"

Leon pushed through the crowd and walked in. Some people wanted to get angry, but were frightened by his appearance and stepped back.

"You're back!" Madison's expression eased a lot when he saw Leon and Zivar. He said apologetically, "Sorry, my people haven't come back yet, but they should be soon."

Leon shook his head and asked, “What did the doctor say?”

Compared to this, he was more concerned about Retak's safety.

"It's said that it's an inflammation caused by a bacterial infection. I don't know what it is exactly, and it's being diagnosed." Madison said, "Come with me, I'll take you to see him."

Madison took Leon and Zival to the inn.

Someone behind him immediately shouted, "Has the Count betrayed his people? Why doesn't he catch the monster and execute him?"

Madison suddenly turned around and ordered, "Catch this scoundrel!"

As soon as he said this, the people blocking the door dispersed instantly.

Leon looked at the people who were running away, who were still shouting slogans like "monster" and "betrayal".

"Aren't you afraid of being complained and held accountable for doing this?" Lyon asked.

Madison sneered with a gloomy face, "They are a bunch of scoundrels on weekdays. They don't do anything law-abiding. Now they are vying to be heroes. What have they been doing before? Why should I be afraid of them? I will catch them and kill them sooner or later!

Wait, once the bodies of the goblins you killed are brought back, the voices of these rogues will disappear!"

Soon they arrived at a guest room, where Gan Mier and others were waiting anxiously outside the door.

When Leon and Zival arrived, the door of the guest room opened and a skinny old man with almost no hair on his head walked out.

"No, this is beyond my medical range. I have never seen this kind of infection. My medicine can only help delay his injury. He needs a real potion. We need to find a wizard!"
