The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 185: Mo Lu's Demonic Spirit

"Stop for a moment."

Lynn stopped Geralt who was about to move forward.

He took out the Kovir longbow from his magic pattern leather bag, took a step forward, aimed at a raised brick in the corridor on the right side of the fork in the road, and shot an arrow.

Then he quickly pulled Geralt back.

Rumbling--

A huge rock fell into the corridor on the left side of the fork in the road, and then with an astonishing momentum, it rolled down the corridor to the right side.

Until you hit the end of the corridor on the right.

The huge rock hit them with such force that the dust above their heads was blown down.

Geralt quietly wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The person who designed the trap deliberately chose a huge rock that was almost as wide as the corridor, so that once the mechanism was triggered, the people inside had nowhere to hide.

Lynn didn't think as much as Geralt thought.

He followed the direction where the boulder rolled down, walked to the end, climbed up on the fallen rocks, and came to an open place.

This should have been a hall, but now half of the hall has fallen deeper into the ground.

And where he was standing now was the remaining half of the hall that was still intact.

"No way?"

Except for the entrance they had come in through, the hall was surrounded by walls.

Geralt stood at the edge of the hall and glanced down at the fallen half.

But it is unclear whether there is any way out over there.

Of course, there is a more important question: even if the way out is really below, how do they get down?

"The way out is right here."

Lynn walked to the wall on the other side of the hall.

He reached out his hand and tapped on the stone.

"Right behind here."

Geralt then reached out and touched it as well.

Then he looked confused.

"This is not an illusion, there is something solid behind this."

Of course Lynn knew this was not an illusion.

"This is a trap door. It can be opened by disarming the trap."

He raised the Kovir longbow.

An arrow shot somewhere in the hall.

There were no torches in the hall, and no sunlight came in; it was pitch black.

But both Lynn and Geralt had taken the advanced cat potion before, so everything in the hall was clearly visible to them.

And the arrow that Lin En shot was aimed at a protruding brick on the wall.

Then, something incredible happened.

The protruding bricks and stones slowly shrank into the wall.

Then, a sound like a door lock being opened came from inside the wall.

There are several more bricks and stones like this.

When the last protruding brick was retracted into the wall, the sound of a mechanism being opened was heard.

A door appeared in the wall.

The stone door rose up with the sound of stones rubbing against each other.

The two walked through the steps behind the stone door and went up to a closed room.

In the center of the room stood a tall statue, but it was impossible to tell who it was.

Considering that this is an elven relic, it is very likely a statue of an elven sage or elven king.

"Although it's said that it's better to be safe than sorry, this man named Mo Lu is being too cautious."

"Don't worry, we'll be there soon."

This room is a circular room with a very high dome. There are narrow spaces set up at intervals on the walls around the room, and a gargoyle is placed in each narrow space.

When Lynn and Geralt stepped into the room, one of the gargoyles came to life like the mechanical statues before.

"Intruders, you are seeking your own death."

Gargoyles are magical creatures created by warlocks. They are extremely powerful and hard, and it is difficult to cause damage to them with ordinary weapons.

But gargoyles are not completely without weaknesses.

Because gargoyles are creatures powered by magic, the dwarf metal bomb can disrupt the flow of magic within their bodies, causing them to fall into a state of stagnation and chaos.

Although gargoyles have been tested and are generally recognized as suitable for guarding, it does not mean that places guarded by gargoyles are foolproof.

For example, if a group of soldiers who had no idea about the characteristics of gargoyles appeared in this room, they would most likely be slaughtered.

But if there were two witchers, the targets of slaughter would become gargoyles.

Lynn and Geralt each placed a number of Arden traps on the ground. Then, Lynn threw a pickaxe he had prepared in advance to Geralt and took one in his own hand.

Next comes the scraping time.

Gargoyles are generally bulky, and although they have the ability to teleport short distances, as long as you understand and guard against this in advance, it will not have much impact.

What's more, this time the gargoyle is facing two demon hunters.

For anything, as long as the quantity increases, the quality will change.

Just like a sorcerer can easily slaughter hundreds of soldiers, but he has to bow down to a king who controls thousands of troops.

For example, it is indeed difficult for a single witcher to deal with a gargoyle, but if there are two witchers, the effect of one plus one being greater than two will be achieved.

When the gargoyle attacks Lynn, Geralt will swing his pickaxe and attack the gargoyle's back.

The reverse is also true.

Not only that, although the Gargoyle is immune to most sigils, it is susceptible to the effects of the Yarden Trap.

Two Aden traps mean double the slowdown effect.

Therefore, this battle is even simpler than the previous battle with Black Panther. The gargoyle's fists are hard, but they are useless as long as they can't hit the person.

The two of them didn't even break a sweat as they reunited with the gargoyle that had come back to life.

... "Does this room need a mechanism to open it?"

Seeing that the room had not changed at all after defeating the gargoyle, Geralt put away his pickaxe, looked up and around, searching for protruding stones on the wall.

But Lin En walked to the fallen gargoyle. The gargoyle was obviously specially designed. He just bent it gently, and with a click, he removed the gargoyle's foot.

He picked up the gargoyle's foot and placed it on the stone platform in front of the statue.

Rumbling--

The stone platform sank.

A portal appeared in the wall.

Geralt looked extremely sad.

"I really hate portals."

Unfortunately, Geralt said this too early.

Because there was not only a wall in front of them, but also a portal.

Instead, portals appeared on the first, second, and third floors of the entire room.

The famous white wolf suddenly lost its color.

Even if he was not a prophet, he knew that with so many portals, only one could be the correct one.

The rest will either keep them spinning in circles or teleport them somewhere else.

If we try them one by one, how long will it take?
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration suddenly appeared in Geralt's mind.

He looked at Lin En expectantly as if he had found a life-saving straw.

"Lin, you must know which portal we should go through, right?"

Lin En seemed to be very familiar with the ruins. He was able to know the ambush in advance and knew how to unlock the secret door.

Although he didn't know why Lin En knew so much.

But for this person, sometimes it’s better to be a little confused.

Linn smiled slightly.

If Lambert was the one acting with him, he would definitely play a good trick on Lambert.

But since it's Geralt, forget it and don't tease him.

"Come with me."

Lin En first identified the direction, and then walked in front with great confidence.

After passing through the portal twice...

The light from the portal disappeared, replaced by a dim and weak light.

"We're here. This is Moreu's laboratory."

……

It was in 1087, about two hundred years ago, that a sorcerer scholar named Thomas Moreau was rescued from the clutches of a monster by a witcher.

He was very grateful for this.

But the witcher did not want gold, but proposed the "Law of Surprise" as payment.

So Moreu had to hand over his son Geron to the witcher.

Later, Geron was sent to the Griffin School's headquarters for training and became one of them.

Since sending his son away, Moreu has vowed to study how to reverse the witcher's mutation process.

He felt resentful that he could not be an important person in his son's life, and hoped that one day his son would understand his good intentions as a father.

In 1102, Moreau established a secret laboratory in the Valley of the Nine in Toussaint, where he devoted all his energy to studying mutations.

He conducted a lot of experiments and experienced many failures.

Experimental subjects included various creatures (such as giant centipedes) and living humans.

This continued until 1121, when Moreau had enough confidence in his experiments to decide to reverse the mutation on his son.

He lured Geron to his laboratory with a commission with a high reward.

Unlike Molu's fatherly love, the Griffin School witcher Geron has always had a very bad impression of his father.

When he learned it was a scam, he flew into a rage and refused to be experimented on.

In desperation, Molu had to use magic to temporarily paralyze Jielong and locked him in a secret place under Heshan Castle, which could only be accessed by a portal, and sent a golem he made to guard him.

Moreu hopes that time will allow Jeroen to come to his senses and understand his good intentions as a father.

Unfortunately, all the efforts Moreau made for the experiment were in vain.

The potions and treatments he developed, far from reversing the mutation, actually amplified its effects, making the witcher stronger and more agile.

In the end, Moreu gave up everything and was forced to accept the fact that his son became a witcher.

He returned to his wife Lydia and died shortly thereafter.

He was buried in the Oremos cemetery south of Beauclair, along with his research journal.

It is said that there is a line of words engraved on his tombstone in ancient language:

Salvation is not in Dornavid, but in our hearts, giving glory to Elerion.

——This is how it should be.

But at the moment when Lynn and Geralt passed through the portal and arrived at Moreu's secret laboratory.

A shrill scream that couldn't be more familiar rang out.

A figure emitting a faint green fluorescence rushed towards the witcher without giving him any chance to react.

Even in the dim light of the oil lamp, the sharp claws reflected a cold light, and were about to rip Geralt open.

At this moment, Lin En suddenly pushed out a palm, and the invisible air wave knocked the white wolf directly away, but it missed the sharp claws by a hair's breadth.

The demon spirit failed to hit Lin En, and its hatred automatically shifted to Lin En who was nearby.

However, Lin En did not pull out the master-level silver sword behind him, but turned his left wrist, and a high-level moon dust bomb appeared in his hand.

He took advantage of the situation and threw it towards the demon that was rushing towards him with its fangs and claws bared.

Bang!
The high-level moon dust bomb exploded immediately when it touched the demon spirit, and the moon dust powder instantly covered the demon spirit.

The latter immediately let out a shrill scream, as if in great pain.

The body that was originally between reality and illusion appeared in this world because of the moon dust powder.
