The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Leon placed his hand on the magic tablet. He saw strands of red light slowly seeping out from the tablet, and then slowly climbing up his palm like tentacles.

This was the first time he felt the power of magic, and he felt it actively.

He didn't remember how he absorbed magic into his body last time because he fainted at that time.

When the red magical power covered his palms, he felt his palms warm.

Then, this warm current flowed along his arm and began to flow throughout his body.

Gradually, Leon felt his body warming up, and the chill from being soaked in water in the cave was gradually dissipated from his body.

The stone tablet seemed to have life, flickering slightly with each breath.

Leon felt the changes in his body, he closed his eyes, but there was nothing in his mind.

He could still feel the sudden breathing rhythm and meditation methods in his mind.

But this time there was nothing.

Leon opened his eyes and took his hand away.

A suction force was released from the magic tablet, pulling his hand and preventing him from leaving.

But Lyon got rid of the suction with a little effort, and then the stone tablet stopped flashing, and the red light converged into the stone tablet.

Leon looked at the inscription on the stone tablet. It was a rune and he couldn't understand it at all.

According to Stregobor, this is a rune invented by humans in ancient times. One rune contains hundreds or even thousands of characters.

In other words, if he could understand these runes, he would be able to decipher what kind of inheritance was contained in this inheritance stele.

What a pity, not to mention him, even a wizard like Stregobor who has lived for hundreds of years could not recognize them all.

Wizards are still trying to decipher these things left behind by ancient humans, and no one can say that they can recognize them 100%.

"If I have the chance in the future, I must take a look. Maybe I can see something from it." Lyon thought to himself.

"Perhaps, I need to absorb all the magical power in here before I can know what the inheritance is." He thought to himself.

Then, Leon pressed his palm on it again, and the magic stele flashed again, slowly injecting the red magic power into his body.

Leon closed his eyes and felt it carefully, but felt nothing except a warm current.

"Maybe I should try it with the Knight's Breathing Technique," he thought.

Since they are all heritage left by humans in ancient times, they must be related. It is impossible that all heritages are unrelated. What kind of heritage are they then?

Whether it is the elven civilization, the dwarf and gnome civilization, or the human civilization that developed later, as long as there is no interruption, the inheritance of civilization must be related.

Scholars who study history in later generations will summarize what happened in a certain period of time in the past based on the information they can collect.

If there is no correlation, then no one will know what happened in the past.

Since ancient humans left these traditions, they must have hoped that future generations would be able to pass them on.

Otherwise, what else to do here?

Since he had obtained the Knight's Breathing Method and the Wizard's Meditation Method from the previous magic stele, it might be helpful for him to absorb magical energy now.

Leon began to adjust his breathing rhythm and use the knight breathing method.

It has been a while since he acquired the Knight's Breathing Technique, and he would try to practice it whenever he had enough food.

Although his strength is growing slowly now, he persists in practicing, and his strength is still slowly increasing bit by bit.

One day, his power will undergo another qualitative change.

He was just slacking off during the special conscription mission, after all, he really didn't have much time during that period.

Even though it's just adjusting your breathing, it may seem like no big deal.

But when he adjusted his breathing, it was not just his lungs that were contracting at a certain rhythm. He felt that all the organs in his body and even the finer cells were "breathing" in a unique way at a certain rhythm.

During this period, his body's metabolic rate will become two to three times faster, which will maximize his body's demand for food.

Therefore, when practicing the Knight's Breathing Method, he must ensure that he has sufficient food, otherwise he will faint from hunger due to lack of food.

But he was not worried about this now, because he had the swallow potion in his hand, which was enough to replenish the energy he needed.

Time passed bit by bit, and an hour later, Leon drank a bottle of swallow potion.

He was breathing heavily. Using the Knight's Breathing Technique did not speed up the magical energy much. It was effective, but not ideal.

The magic tablet did not change at all. He remembered that after absorbing the magic power from the first magic tablet, the tablet shattered into pieces.

According to his current absorption rate, he might not be able to absorb all the magical power in this stone tablet in a month.

“The knight’s breathing method is wrong…” Leon took a break and thought.

In fact, there is nothing to think about. Apart from the knight's breathing method, he can only try the wizard's meditation method.

Wizard meditation is mainly used on the spiritual level.

After practicing this, at least he became more adept at performing the magic seals, and the interval between each performance was also shortened.

Although he had no magical power in his body, he did not need it to cast the seal. He only needed enough mental strength.

Every time he performed a seal, it would drain his spirit and make him feel tired.

The same goes for tracking ability. Using tracking for a long time is a burden on his spirit, and he needs to stop and close his eyes to rest from time to time.

Of course, this was in the past. Now all he needs to do to recover his spirit is enter a meditative state, which is much faster.

After Lyon rested, he pressed his palms on it again, then sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and entered a meditative state.

Perhaps as Stregobor said, he had a talent for magic. Soon his mind felt empty and his body became light.

Lyon knew that he was in the right state.

And then something surprising happened. A red light bloomed on the magic stele and directly enveloped his body.

Leon felt that his thinking was becoming clearer and clearer, and the speed at which the magical power flowed into his body gradually increased, reaching a hundred times as fast as before!

"I guessed right!" Leon laughed.

If the wizard meditation method doesn't work, he will immediately turn around and leave to do the conscription mission first.

After all, the magic tablet will not run away here, but if the conscription mission is not completed in too long, Earl Grampian will lose his patience.

If the mission fails, he will most likely be convicted, which will not be worth the loss.

"Hurry up! Hurry up!" Leon thought to himself. He really wanted to know what this magic stone tablet could pass on to him.

"I hope it won't take too long." Lyon thought to himself.

At this moment, he absorbed the magical power into his body with great anticipation, but did not notice a problem at all.

Those were the stone walls on his left and right, which were retreating to both sides little by little as he absorbed the magical power.
