The Witcher: Darkness Falls

Zivar looked at the food in front of him haggardly. He had no appetite at all.

The same is true for the dwarf Ritak. His complexion has recovered a lot compared to more than 20 days ago, but he still looks a little weak.

The two had told Madison in detail what had happened.

Keli looked at the two humans in front of her with sympathy. Although they were of different races, emotional infection was not limited by race.

What's more, Keli herself is a kind girl, and now that she is pregnant, her empathy is even stronger.

Madison was eating. He was tired from the four-day long journey, and he was hungry after spending so much time on horseback.

When he first saw the dwarves and midgets, he immediately felt that there might be hope for finding Leon.

After all, Leon was with these people in the beginning.

After asking, he found out that the dwarf and the midget had not seen Leon for more than half a month.

The story began more than half a month ago.

At that time, Leon and Zival brought Retak to Nilfgaard City to seek help from the wizard.

When Retak was rescued, Lyon rushed back immediately.

Also on the second day after Leon left, Gammill's team escorted Denzel's carriage to the city of Nilfgaard.

Everything was normal at first, until they entered the city and found the hotel.

A group of soldiers suddenly surrounded the hotel, and then Sheriff Falco appeared and took Camilla away with his men.

The reason was that "unregistered monsters entered the city without permission and disturbed the public order of Nilfgaard."

In the Nilfgaard Empire, in addition to humanoid creatures, there are also some low-intelligence creatures.

For example, trolls and hammer monsters.

But these need to be strictly monitored, their activities restricted, and they must be registered in advance to ensure that they do not go crazy and hurt people.

This is how Leon saw trolls helping humans build bridges, and after using these monsters, humans would send them back.

Of course, these monsters don't like to stay in places where humans gather. They are willing to communicate with humans simply because places where humans gather often have things they like.

For example, trolls like beef and mutton raised by humans, and the demand is huge, which is almost impossible for them to obtain in the wild.

The trolls would exchange the proceeds of their labor with the farmers. Due to the control of the human army, most trolls living near human living areas have learned to restrain themselves.

The same is true for the Knockers, who live in the mountains and forests, and many of them are active in the Mahakam Mine, assisting the dwarves in transporting ore.

And the dwarves' reward is wine!

That's right, Knockers love drinking, especially Dwarven Liquor, and the higher the alcohol content, the more they like it.

Mines in some parts of Nilfgaard also use wine to lure hammer monsters to work for them, but of course this is only a minority.

Camilla also needs to report her entry into the city, and Zival and the others should have reported it as well.

The authorities have also set aside one day for reporting.

Denzel planned to wait in Nilfgaard for the storm season to pass before setting off again, which would take at least half a month.

So Ganmier planned to report after finding a hotel.

But before they could report, the soldiers immediately surrounded them, and no matter how they explained, it was useless.

No one knew what was going on until they discovered that there was a man in the sheriff's team, and then everyone finally guessed the reason.

Stan Bliss, the man who claimed to be a biologist at Imperial College.

This guy showed great interest in Camilla when he was on the boat, and even wanted to collect a blood sample from Camilla at the risk of angering her.

Then, after they disembarked in the Grampian area, the guy completely disappeared.

And now, he once again appeared in the team of the Nilfgaard sheriff.

Maybe this guy was the one who did it.

Later, their guess was confirmed by what Stan said to the sheriff.

Stan actually said that Camilla almost attacked him while on the boat!

This bastard!

It was clearly him who stabbed Camilla with a knife, which angered Camilla. If Zival hadn't stopped him, the bastard would have been beaten to death by Camilla long ago.

Now he's turning the tables!

But the sheriff obviously believed Stein's words more, after all, the other party was a human being.

Moreover, Stan used his connections in a despicable way to find Falco's superior.

Because Falco told them personally that this was an instruction from his superiors.

The other party kidnapped Camilla entirely for his so-called biological research!

Stan knew that they would never cooperate, so he resorted to this despicable method to forcibly take Camilla away!

But this is the city of Nilfgaard, they have no way out and it is impossible for them to take up arms to resist.

If they rebel, it would mean a blatant challenge to the entire Nilfgaard City Guard and Nilfgaard law.

But now, no one will stand up for them because they don’t know any of the high-level officials in Nilfgaard City.

Denzel had no choice, after all, he was just a businessman.

Zival wanted to seek help from Fringilla Viego, but she left Nilfgaard after leaving him the healing potion.

He wanted to ask Mrs. Evertson for help again, but she ignored him. After all, Mrs. Evertson didn't know him at all!

Now, Zival and his men are in trouble and they have no way to rescue Camilla!

Five days ago, the storm season ended and Denzel asked to set off. In fact, Denzel had already given him three days' grace.

They had no money to pay the penalty, so Zival and the dwarf Ritak had no choice but to stay and continue to find a solution, while the others escorted Denzel on the road.

Besides, Retak was still very weak and couldn't keep up with their next journey, so it was appropriate for him to stay.

"We have inquired and learned that Sheriff Falco's home is here. We have no intention of disturbing you, madam, but... we have no choice." Zival said helplessly, "That knocking monster is our friend, but now it has been captured! It is friendly and loyal, but what awaits it is the dissection table!"

Retak's pointed ears drooped and his eyes were full of sadness.

Keli looked at the dwarf and the midget with sympathy. She apologized, "I'm sorry, both of you, but Falco hasn't been home recently. I heard that he was assigned a very important mission and can only live at the mission site."

"Important mission?" Madison asked.

Keli nodded and said helplessly: "Yes, it seems to be about some experiment or something, I don't understand it anyway."

"Experiment?" This word has almost become a sensitive word for Madison.

Because the order given to him by Earl Grampian was to assist Lyon in investigating the laboratory where the goblins were bred.

So, when the word "experiment" came out of Keli's mouth, he instinctively turned his head to look over.
