The Witcher: Darkness Falls

An hour later, Leon reappeared in front of everyone.

He was wearing a dark blue slim-fit tuxedo on his upper body, and a small brown vest could be seen behind the V-shaped collar.

The lower body is a pair of tan slim leather pants and a pair of black boots that fit the calves perfectly.

His hair was trimmed at the temples and even combed back, and the stubble on his chin was shaved clean.

In addition, he also sprayed some perfume produced in the empire, which had a deep sea scent.

Zivar looked at Lyon's current appearance and gave him high praise.

"You look just like one of those ducks selling their asses on the street in Vizima!"

Leon felt it was fine, except that the belt around his waist made him a little uncomfortable.

Because the belt buckle was made of a hard Nilfgaard Empire flag medal, it made him feel a little uncomfortable.

"Look, this is worthy of my dance partner!" Mrs. Evertson was very satisfied with Leon's dress.

"Not bad, it looks good, but it's still missing a little bit of feeling." Irene Gira looked around and praised.

Mrs. Evertson stepped forward, took Leon’s arm affectionately and said, “Let’s go!”

Then he took Leon's hand and got into the carriage.

Erin Jira gave the two of them an ambiguous look and chose to ride in a carriage alone to give the two of them some privacy.

"Aren't you afraid of being seen by Duke Evertson if we do this?" Lyon couldn't help but ask.

After all, it was done secretly before, but now it is done openly, which makes him somewhat uncomfortable.

Mrs. Evertson sneered and said, "See? Even if he saw it, what can he do? He hangs out with those missionaries all day and doesn't even go home.

What's more, he has no right to control me. Most of his property is my dowry. He has no right to control me."

Lyon keenly captured a word, missionary.

"You mean missionaries? Missionaries of the True God Church?" he asked curiously.

“How did you know?” Mrs. Evertson turned her head and looked at Leon in confusion, “Did you encounter it too?”

It is actually the True God Church.

Leon nodded and said, "Yes, I met a believer in Dann Rowan who claimed to be a member of the True God Church. I didn't expect that there is one in Nilfgaard."

Mrs. Evertson smiled coldly, and seemed to have a bad impression of this group of missionaries.

She leaned in Leon's arms and said, "They have been here for five months. There are ten of them. One claims to be the bishop of the True God Church, and two claim to be his assistants or something, claiming to be priests, and the remaining seven are dressed as knights and claim to be defenders of the church.

They came to visit the Emperor of Nilfgaard with letters of introduction from King Povis.

These guys were pretty normal at first, but gradually started saying that the Red Sun would come one day in the future and bring endless monsters with it.

From then on, the end of the world will come, and only the true God can save the world.

Then they prayed to the Emperor of Nilfgaard to build a church for them to facilitate their missionary work.

All in all, it’s outrageous.”

Leon opened his mouth. This was indeed outrageous.

The Nilfgaard Empire believed in the sun god, and the sun cult was the state religion.

And these guys actually came here and asked to build a church to spread their True God religion.

The most important thing is that the Nilfgaard Empire is an empire of unity of politics and religion, and the emperor is the high priest.

This is simply a direct mockery of the sun god worshipped by the Nilfgaard Empire!

"So what did the emperor say?" Leon asked with interest.

"Of course we kicked them out, for the sake of King Povis, otherwise we would have executed them," said Mrs. Evertson, rolling her eyes.

Leon smiled and said, “However, these missionaries still have some strength.”

When he thought about how Stregobor looked like a lost soul when Camaro lifted the curse of Sithlia, he knew that Camaro was definitely not a simple person. He was definitely not an ordinary missionary as he said. Maybe he held a position of certain status in the True God Church.

Mrs. Evertson agreed with this point: "You are right, these missionaries have gained so many believers in just three months by some unknown means.

Lyon, did you know that the sun turned red more than a month ago?

Haha, doesn’t it fit the coming of the red sun that these missionaries talk about?

In fact, it is the conjunction of the celestial spheres, a rare astronomical phenomenon. They can deceive ordinary people, but they can't deceive us.

It is even more impossible to deceive the emperor, because the emperor has magic advisers, all of whom are high-level wizards, and they know what is going on.

But ordinary people firmly believe what the missionaries say.

Although the emperor expelled them from the Golden Tower City, they settled down in the Karna Manor, ten kilometers south of the city.

That was the territory of the Kuhn family, and these missionaries were involved with the Imperial College and had launched a study called genetic engineering or something.

Many nobles in the city are interested in this, including my husband. "

Leon was stunned and heard the word genetic engineering again.

The last time he was on the ship, Stan, who claimed to be a biologist at the Imperial College, told him.

He had guessed at the time that there would be nobles involved, and he also guessed that there would be wizards involved.

However, he did not expect that those involved were not wizards, but a group of missionaries from Povis.

Mrs. Evertson's face turned ugly and she said, "That guy was in poor health. I always thought he should have died a long time ago, but he didn't die, and he has actually gotten better recently.

Haha, so I go to Karl's Manor all day long when I have nothing to do, and sometimes I don't even go home at night."

"Madam, do you know Stan from the Imperial College? Stan Bliss, a biologist." Lyon suddenly asked.

Mrs. Evertson frowned slightly, then shook her head and said, "I don't know him. There are too many biologists, historians, etc. in the Imperial College. Who would remember such a person? What's wrong?"

Leon shook his head slightly: "It's okay, I just met him on the ship heading south before, and talked to him, and he mentioned this genetic engineering."

Mrs. Evertson suddenly stood up and stared at Leon and asked, "Why? Are you interested in this genetic engineering?"

Leon nodded slightly and said, “Well… when he mentioned this to me on the ship, he said that this project could unlock the secrets of the human body and make people immortal.

I'm just curious about how they're going to do it. After all, I remember that many wizards have done genetic experiments, but without exception, they all failed."

He actually wanted to add that the demon hunters were the product of genetic experiments, and they had greatly extended their lifespans and increased their strength.

But at the same time, they were also made to no longer be considered human beings by these experiments.

Elves, dwarves, gnomes and even dragons are all long-lived species, but none of them can achieve immortality.

When you reach a certain age, you will age and die. This is the law of nature and even magic cannot change it.

Because magic is a kind of natural force.

He has no interest in immortality, but he is interested in genetic modification. For example, is it possible to completely complete the mutation?

Mrs. Evertson lay back in Leon's arms and kissed him, saying, "If you are really interested, I can introduce you to another person. He is a real expert in the field of biology at the Imperial College and seems to be involved in this genetic project."

"Who?" Leon asked curiously.

"Fred Ryan Mandela," Mrs. Evertson said, and then she kissed him deeply.
