A dark cloud gathered over the manor. Geralt saw many trees. It was obviously spring, but all their leaves had fallen off. A feeling of death filled the entire manor. The old man was still chattering beside him: "

...I'm telling you, it's still too late for you to run away now, and I don't think the demon hunters can do anything about them."

Geralt suddenly said: "What is it?"

The old man stopped. He and Geralt looked at the manor not far away and asked, "Are you sure you really want to know?"

"I'm a witcher."

"Okay, okay. A demon hunter. Hmm, whatever you say, if you don't listen to my advice, I'll just wait and collect the body for you..."

The old man continued: "That was a year ago, Bordeaux..." He paused, and then said the title: "...Master, I bought a magic lantern at an auction in the city.

It was very beautiful. It could light up half the sky when placed in the yard at night. It was said to be something from the elf ruins. He valued this thing very much and said he would present it to the king on his birthday. But when the lantern came to the manor,

Weird things started happening.”

"First, El, who was taking care of the lawn, died. He died on his bed, with feces and urine flowing out, and half of his intestines fell out of his stomach. Mr. Bordeaux asked us to bury him, and gave his family a large sum of money.

Let's just say he fell on his head - a man who was tending the lawn fell on his head and died, well, it's a shame he could think of that."

"Then there's Nanna. She was from the laundry room. She died miserably. Let me tell you, old man, I've seen many ways to die, and she was the worst."

"She also died while sleeping. Her throat was cut open with a pair of scissors. The coroner said her trachea was pulled out. That's not all. Her hands and feet were separated from her body for two weeks.

Later, the manor's dog handler found one of her arms in the grass. It was almost rotten. Only then could we bury her."

"Then people started to die in droves... I was lucky. I didn't feel right at the time, so I ran away. Now I live in a house not far from the Bordeaux Manor, so I can show them

Open the door to prevent anyone who has no eyesight from entering and dying."

Geralt listened quietly, and after the old man finished speaking, he asked: "Where is his body?"

"who?"

"El, the one you were talking about taking care of the lawn."

"Let me think about it...it's right behind the manor, next to the statue of the goddess Meriteri. Poor El, may you rest in peace."

"Where's the lantern?"

"How do I know? Mr. Bordeaux took it very seriously. Until he died, no one except him knew where it was."

Geralt nodded, his hand already on the silver sword, and the witcher said softly: "Mr. Guileodo, do you smell something?"

Gilleodo was confused: "What does it smell like?"

"The smell of corpses."

After the demon hunter finished speaking, he pulled out his sword on horseback. A flash of sword light flashed, and the old man's head fell to the ground, but no blood flowed out. His head just fell straight to the ground, and his eyes were still open.

Looking at Geralt, a few strands of hair on his bald forehead were gradually swaying in the breeze. Although he could no longer speak, he still made a sound from his throat: "...What is this?"

Geralt dismounted, picked up Guileodo's head, and said to him: "You are dead, don't you understand?"

"Did you kill me?"

"...No, you would have been dead long ago."

The demon hunter turned his head. When he saw his headless body still standing, he was not shocked at all. He just said calmly: "Well, my figure is not out of shape."

The demon hunter turned his head back again, and Guileodo said: "That thing is really evil. I thought I ran away, but I still died? Then how did I live for one more year? I mean,

I can still eat obviously?"

Geralt shrugged. This was the first time he had seen such a situation. Gilead's head sighed: "Please, Demon Hunter, do your best, crush my head and give it to me."

Dig a hole and bury me. As for the mess in this place, don't worry about it. Go to the city to find Lina Bordeaux. She will pay you some money. Run away before you can."

The witcher raised his head and looked at the crows all over the manor. Their scarlet eyes were all fixed on the witcher. He said softly: "I think it's too late."

After he finished speaking, the path behind him disappeared in an instant.

A ball of flame burst out from the palm of Geralt's hand, and Guileodo's head was ignited. He was like a piece of paper, turning into ashes in an instant, and his headless body did the same, standing and turning into ashes.

A pool of ashes danced in the air with the breeze.

The witcher patted his horse, took off the hand crossbow and the alchemy bomb and hung them on his waist. He took out a bottle of evil spirit oil and began to oil his silver sword.

There is a mysterious boundary between the worlds of the dead and the living, and it is easier for restless evil spirits to cross this boundary than for humans. Witchers will fight against ghosts, ghosts and all other ghostly evil spirits.

Previously, evil spirit oil was applied to the sword. It is the most effective of all oils against this type of evil. Of course, this oil has no effect on humans and monsters other than evil spirits.

After doing this, he took out a bottle of 'Swallow' potion and drank it for himself. It is a very common potion and is suitable for use on many occasions. It also has no side effects. It is very suitable for people who don't know what they are going to face.

Taking it is also very suitable for long-term battles.

He took out a bottle of emerald green magic potion, 'Thunder'. This potion can strengthen the muscle strength of demon hunters, thereby increasing the power of sword strikes.

The magic potions used by witchers are all poisonous, and even the least toxic ones can easily kill ordinary people. After Geralt drank two bottles of potions, his eyes began to sparkle—

- This is not a good sign, but a proof of the accumulation of toxins. At the same time, black blood vessels began to appear on his face, which looked very scary.

"Huh..." The demon hunter let out a long breath. This is not over yet. The evil spirits in this manor are probably very powerful, and he has no way back. He took out a bottle of Maribo Forest, a potion that can greatly

Improves stamina. After drinking this potion, the witcher can block or cast spells continuously without fatigue.

However, everything has two sides. This powerful potion can cause slight convulsions, and its toxicity is not trivial. Geralt immediately bent over after drinking it, and he raised his head with a dull growl from his throat.

When he arrived, his forehead was covered with veins, making him look more like a monster than a person.

"...It's really exciting."
