The Witcher: Darkness Falls
Chapter 76: The Defender
Colette's death caught no one off guard, including McLaren.
He guessed that one or all of these people had a grudge against Leon, and Leon would definitely take the opportunity to take action, but he didn't expect that he would do so at this critical juncture.
Now is not a good time to take action.
The goblins in the cave are rushing out, and they can use these people in front of them to delay the goblins.
In this way, you can trip up the enemy on the way out and keep him here.
This is the best way.
But Lyon took action anyway.
The other party had no intention of making any use of the waste.
However, McLaren soon understood Lyon's plan.
He intends to leave no one behind!
Lyon suddenly attacked, cut Colette's neck with a sword, and then immediately turned around and attacked the person behind him.
He raised his hand and made a hand seal. In an instant, flames burst out of thin air, illuminating the dark cave.
McLaren stepped back, holding his sword in front of him in alert.
However, when he opened his eyes, he found that Leon had already killed everyone else and had no intention of attacking him.
Leon glanced at McLaren and put away his sword.
He actually wanted to kill McLaren as well, but after thinking about it, he seemed to be no match for the other party if he didn't drink the potion.
Moreover, McLaren would not report him for killing the people in front of him, so it would be unnecessary to take action against McLaren now.
"Actually, you can wait a little longer." McLaren did not give up his vigilance. When he spoke, he still kept a certain distance from Leon, and his sword was always in his hand, ready to strike at any time.
"That's not necessary." Lyon said.
He grabbed the corpses and threw them deeper into the cave, one after another.
McLaren then approached and said, "Don't worry, these people were killed by the goblins. I saw it with my own eyes!"
Leon glanced at him and said in a deep voice: “Thank you.”
He began to back away and said, "We can go back now."
But McLaren's move was beyond his expectations.
The other party calmly took out a pendant from his collar.
Leon's eyes fell over and he was instantly attracted by the pendant.
At the end of the black rope was a silver cross.
"True God Church." Leon stared at the pendant for a few seconds, then looked at McLaren.
McLaren was stunned, somewhat surprised that Leon actually knew about the True God Church.
“I thought you didn’t know, but now that you know, there’s no need for me to introduce it.
Leon, my real identity is the defender of the True God Church, and the defender also has another name - Holy Light Knight. "McLaren said with a smile.
"Holy Light Knight?" Leon said softly, "Are you a wizard too?"
He remembered that Camaro was a member of the True God Church, and the other party said that he was a believer and a missionary.
But combined with what Mrs. Evertson said, he could roughly judge that Camaro was definitely not an ordinary missionary.
The other party is most likely a priest or a bishop.
However, he did not see any defenders of the faith, or the Holy Light Knights as McLaren mentioned, around Camaro.
Moreover, Camaro had repeatedly invited him to be an apologist.
Combined with the information Mrs. Evertson told him about the True God Church, it was not difficult for him to guess the relationship between the apologists and the missionaries.
Missionaries are like temple priests, responsible for conveying the faith of gods.
An apologist is someone who protects the preacher.
The position of the Protector is somewhat similar to that of a temple guard. Such a position exists in the temple of the Sun Cult and is held by soldiers from Nilfgaard.
"No, not a wizard. Haha, it seems that you know very little about the True God Church.
But now is not the time to explain in detail. Next, you will understand the power of the Holy Light Knight." McLaren said quickly.
Because he could hear the goblins' roars becoming clearer and clearer, he believed that in less than half a minute, the first goblin would appear in front of them.
McLaren held the sword in his hand and said to the cave entrance: "Follow me."
Leon frowned and said, "You're crazy! We can't use bombs here, how are you going to deal with so many goblins?
There might even be hybrids like hobgoblins among them!"
McLaren said confidently: "There is no need to use bombs. The power of my Holy Light Knight is enough."
As he said that, McLaren actually rushed towards the depths of the cave.
Leon hesitated for a moment, but followed.
He was not curious about whether the other party really had the ability to defeat or kill the remaining goblins in the cave on his own.
If McLaren were a wizard, maybe it would be possible.
He had seen Camaro's strength. That guy had something called holy water in his hand, which was said to be able to cure any disease.
Moreover, he used two magic items when he lifted Sislia's curse.
One is a golden cross hanging on his chest, and the other is a magic book.
The cross can release a platinum-colored magical power that can bind people.
The magical power released by the magic book can form an energy shield to protect Camaro, which is somewhat similar to the magic shield released by Quinn's seal.
However, Leon knew that the shield formed by Camaro's magic book was much more powerful than his Quen Seal.
"Maybe McLaren also has similar means, such as his silver cross that can launch magical attacks." Lyon thought to himself.
Then he stopped thinking about it.
He was actually more concerned about something else.
It was the conscription mission assigned to him by the Count.
The first task is to find the goblin's nest and rescue the trapped women.
It might be difficult to rescue the trapped women; they might have already died.
But they have found the goblin's lair, and it is only a matter of time before they destroy it.
The second task that had been bothering him had already been solved, but it was still not very clear.
Ryan.
He was now basically certain that the Ryan written on the nameplate on the goblin leader was not a place, but a person's name.
Fred Ryan Mandela, an expert in biology at Imperial College, also appears to have been involved in genetic engineering.
Combining these key pieces of information, anyone with a little common sense can realize the inseparable relationship between them.
This information was just his guess, and even if he told the Earl of Grampian about it, it would be of no use at all.
He had no direct proof that the first goblin experiment subject escaped from the other party's laboratory.
The other party must have discovered that the experimental subject had escaped a long time ago. It has been almost half a year, and the obvious evidence may have been transferred or destroyed.
So many people died and villages were massacred, no one could admit it.
No one can bear this responsibility.
But now, a True God apologist appeared before him.
If Leon remembered correctly, the True God Church also participated in genetic engineering and held a dominant position.
Perhaps McLaren would be a good entry point?
Leon chased after him.
At the same time, the goblin appeared in his sight.
McLaren stopped, held the sword in front of him and shouted: "In the name of the true God, I will send you evil bastards to hell!"
Then, a white light burst out from his body.
