Kapitel 16: Chapter 13 : A Deal with the Devil
Geralt and his companions found themselves in a sticky situation. The Shadow's attack had left them with few leads on how to defeat the monster. They were now in a race against time to save the city from destruction. Geralt knew that they needed to find a way to defeat the Shadow, and fast.
As they walked through the streets of Novigrad, Geralt noticed that the people seemed to be on edge. They were afraid, and for good reason. The Shadow had already taken many lives, and it was only a matter of time before it struck again. Geralt could feel the tension in the air, and it made him uneasy.
They walked into a tavern, hoping to find some information that would help them defeat the Shadow. As they sat at a table, a man approached them. He was tall, with a gaunt face and piercing blue eyes. Geralt could tell that he was a mage.
"Greetings, Witcher," the mage said. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation. I believe I may be able to assist you in your quest to defeat the Shadow."
Geralt eyed the man warily. He didn't trust mages, but he knew that they sometimes held the key to defeating monsters.
"What do you want in return?" Geralt asked.
"I want a favor," the mage replied. "There is a powerful artifact that I require. It is located in a dangerous place, and I cannot retrieve it myself. If you retrieve it for me, I will assist you in defeating the Shadow."
Geralt weighed his options. He knew that they needed all the help they could get, but he didn't want to make a deal with a mage. However, he knew that he had no choice. They needed to defeat the Shadow, and the mage might be their only hope.
"Fine," Geralt said. "We'll retrieve the artifact for you. But you'd better hold up your end of the bargain."
The mage nodded, a small smile playing at the corner of his lips. "You have my word," he said.
The next day, Geralt and his companions set out to retrieve the artifact. It was located in a cavern deep in the mountains, and they knew that it would be dangerous. They made their way through the mountains, fighting off harpies and other monsters along the way.
As they approached the cavern, they noticed that it was guarded by a group of bandits. Geralt and his companions knew that they needed to be careful. They didn't want to attract too much attention, or they might not make it out alive.
They approached the bandits, pretending to be travelers in need of assistance. The bandits eyed them suspiciously, but eventually let them pass. Geralt and his companions made their way through the cavern, fighting off more monsters along the way.
Finally, they reached the artifact. It was a small, silver orb, pulsing with magical energy. Geralt knew that it was powerful, but he had no idea what it did.
As they made their way out of the cavern, they were ambushed by the bandits. Geralt and his companions fought valiantly, but they were outnumbered. Just when it seemed like all was lost, the mage appeared. He cast a powerful spell, defeating the bandits and saving Geralt and his companions.
Geralt thanked the mage, begrudgingly admitting that he had been helpful. The mage handed Geralt a piece of parchment, which contained a spell that he claimed would help them defeat the Shadow. Geralt eyed the mage warily, wondering what he was really up to.
But for now, they had a way to defeat the Shadow, and that was all that mattered. They set out for the city.
