"We've arrived at the place, right here."
Geralt Look around.
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on a lake, sparkling, and golden ripples appear on the lake, reflecting the reflection of the Beauclair castle and tower in the distance.
The area of this lake is very large, and it is comparable to the lake outside Vizima city that he has been to before.
Not only can you enjoy the beautiful scenery here, but you can also see the city scenery of Beauclair on the other side of the lake.
"Forgive my poor eyesight, Lord Baron, I really didn't see even the slightest sign of a laboratory."
Geralt's unique poisonous tongue can't help but move around again.
Lynn glanced at him angrily.
"Because the lab is in another place, the only way to do it is to activate the portal under the lake, my detective."
If it's a portal, it wouldn't be surprising.
But Geralt still felt puzzled. "How do you know so clearly?"
"Because I'm actually a prophet."
After saying these words, Lynn pushed the rented boat into the lake, and then rowed towards the center of the lake with Geralt.
There were some Drowner wandering underwater, but they did not cause any trouble to the witcher at all.
Whenever they lie down on the boat, before they can take any further action, the master-level silver sword has already taken the lead and turned them into corpses.
Almost reaching the position in memory, Lynn asked Geralt to stay on the boat.
He jumped into the lake.
A few minutes later, he resurfaced.
He found a place and signaled Geralt to follow him.
The entrance portal leading to the laboratory is embedded in the ruins sunk to the bottom of the lake.
It's just that the portal has not been activated at this time.
But the teleportation crystal is nearby.
Lynn, who had already explored the ruins several times, was very familiar with Aard Sign, filling the teleportation crystal with energy.
After activating the portal, he swam in without hesitation.
A minute later, Geralt walked out of the portal with a splash of wet water all over his body.
"Damn, I hate portals."
Lynn did not complain, but downed a bottle of Superior Cat Potion and gave another bottle to Geralt.
After the potion took effect, the dark environment suddenly became clear and black in the demon hunter's field of vision.
Behind them is the portal coming in.
From time to time, waves are swept in by the portal.
In front of them was a passage that went straight downwards.
Perhaps due to his youth, Lynn is more adaptable to portals than Geralt.
Now that he passes through the portal, he won't feel as uncomfortable as Geralt did.
He waited there for a while, and after Geralt recovered, the two of them went down the passage.
As they continued to go deeper, the appearance of an elf ruins appeared in front of their eyes.
Every hall and room is connected by long corridors and stairs. To outsiders, this kind of place is almost the same as a maze.
But this is also typical Elf style.
The two of them wound around and finally came to a platform.
At this time Lynn suddenly stopped Geralt.
Under Geralt's confused gaze, Lynn took out several bottles of high-grade magic potion and drank it.
"Be prepared, there's a fight ahead."
If it were anyone else who said this, Geralt would only reply with a strange and strange expression.
But in view of past mistakes, the portal of the laboratory is indeed hidden underwater outside the city of Beauclair.
Geralt wisely chooses to keep his mouth shut.
Lest the person who gets slapped in the face is you.
After Geralt also took the medicine, Lynn pointed to the stone panthers on the left and right sides of the platform and said, "Have you seen those two leopards? They will come to life as soon as we enter. Then you deal with the one on the left, and I will deal with the one on the right."
Geralt squinted his eyes and used his Witcher Senses to sense that the two leopards were indeed a carefully designed trap.
So he didn't say anything, just nodded silently.
And just as Lynn said, the moment the two stepped onto the platform, a sudden change occurred.
A circle of light mist rose up and enveloped the entire platform.
The stone panther, which was originally just for decoration, changed instantly, and the stone chips on the surface fell off one after another. It seemed to have come alive. It stared at the blood-red eyes, roared, and rushed forward.
If it were an ordinary tomb robber who suddenly encountered such a situation, he would probably be in trouble if he reacted slowly.
But unfortunately, these two black panthers were not facing unprepared tomb robbers, but demon hunters whose BUFFs were fully loaded.
As agreed before, Lynn and Geralt respectively faced the black panther charging towards them.
Bang!
With the blessing of Superior Petri's Philter and Mutation Enhancement specialties, the power of Master-level Aard Sign has far exceeded the power of Signs released by ordinary demon hunters.
The powerful impact directly knocked the oncoming black panther and rolled it away. When it got up from the ground and wanted to charge again...
Whoosh!
A bright sword light lit up in the darkness.
The boots landed heavily on the platform, making a heavy sound.
This jumping chop hit the Black Panther's side directly, hitting it hard.
There are no scenes of blood and flesh flying around.
Some of them are only exposed after the side waist is cut open, and the inside of the body is completely composed of Chaos Energy.
This is certainly not the end.
Lynn grasped the hilt of the sword tightly with both hands and drew the sword hard.
While causing further dragging and cutting wounds to the Black Panther's body, his entire body rotated like a compass with his right foot as the axis.
He swung out a beautiful arc again and accurately cut into the mouth of the black panther, which roared in pain.
"Drink!"
The master-level silver sword swiped across the Black Panther's mouth, and with a pop, the Black Panther's head above the mouth slowly fell down.
The remaining body fell to the ground, transformed into Chaos Energy, and slowly dissipated.
And just as Lynn eliminated his opponent, Geralt on the other side also ended the battle.
Geralt I'm very glad that I didn't say anything just now.
But I'm also a little curious.
Why does my little brother know so much about this ruins?
It's like going home.
After the two of them searched the Black Panther's body, took away useful materials, and took a short rest...
Next, the two continued to explore deeper.
After going around in circles for more than ten minutes, the two of them entered through a gap in the collapsed wall.
Behind this wall is an uncarved corridor, which is completely different from the previous elven-style ruins.
There is no doubt that starting from here is the road to the Professor Moreau laboratory.
The two of them soon reached the end of the corridor, and there was a fork in the road further ahead.
