Chapter 106 Are you also a time traveler?
“Wait…” Ailin ran to the big rock and put the rotten meat in its hand. “Gifts from friends cannot be refused.”

Dashitou held the rotten meat in his hands, feeling a little helpless.

The broken stone and the small stone stood not far away, staring at the big stone with envy. They opened and closed their mouths, but did not dare to speak.

"...friends...gifts...return gifts...cannot be accepted..."

The big rock was indeed different, especially when standing next to the other two rock trolls, the difference was very obvious.

Not only did I not drool when I saw the food.

Ailin even refused to return the gift and put the rotten meat in his hands, but he still insisted on refusing.

If it weren't for the fact that he still looked like a rock troll, he would even suspect that the big stone was some well-educated nobleman who had put on a layer of troll skin.

However, the "Summoning I" mission must be completed, so these pieces of rotten meat must also be delivered.

"No gift in return, but I can help. This meat is your reward."

Hearing this, Da Shitou was stunned for a moment and said naively:

"...Demon Hunter... wants to help..."

Aelin nodded.

The big stone looked down at the swamp witch head on Ailin's waist and continued:
"...big rock...monster...don't kill it..."

Ailin smiled and said, "No need to kill, just help me move some things later."

The bodies of the swamp witch and several zombies were still lying in the snow. He had originally planned to ask Hughes and others to move them tomorrow.

It's good to have three rock trolls to help now.

And as long as he stays in Kaer Morhen, there will definitely be many more such things.

Upon hearing this, the big stone withdrew its hand that was pushing away the rotten meat and looked back at the broken stone and the small stone.

"...broken stones...small stones...my fellow witcher...moving things..."

"... Roar... eat meat... move things... eat meat... eat meat..."

When the broken stone heard that the big stone agreed to accept the rotten meat, he excitedly threw the small stone next to him into the sky, and it fell into the soft snow outside the camp.

This scene made Big Stone so angry that he took a few steps and hit Broken Stone on the head with his fist.

In a moment, two green stone balls appeared on the ground, rolling around.

As Ailin watched, a smile appeared on his face.

"Big Stone, you guys eat first."

"I'm going to go to the Ring of Elements and will come back to join you guys to move things together."

Dashitou turned around and nodded, his ferocious face looking particularly honest.

"...My fellow demon hunter...don't worry...the troll...will keep his word..."

Ailin nodded gently and then walked towards the top of the mountain.
……

The mountain road is difficult to travel.

The higher you go, the thicker the snow and the colder the temperature.

The dead trees on both sides were half dead, bent by the thick snow.

"Whoo~"

The moment the long white stream of water vapor was exhaled, it formed ice crystals.

But such harsh and terrible environment did not break Ailin's good mood.

"Sand~sand~sand~"

As the snow was pushed aside, he hummed a tune from his previous life and moved towards the Ring of Elements, circulating the Igni Sign within his body from time to time to keep warm.

Even in this extremely cold weather, it is very comfortable.

Of course, the reason for the good mood is those rock trolls.

"Before, I was too one-sided. I only thought about winning the favor of the rock trolls and completing the mission." Ailin reflected on himself.

After leaving the troll camp, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that asking the rock trolls to help carry the bodies was a good move.

Now the relationship between Ailin and the trolls is still very weak, and he can only ask them to move things. But if they continue to get along like this.

Will there ever be a day when we can ask them to help defend Kaer Morhen?
Even wait until he completes the "Summon I" character and unlocks "The Confluence of the Celestial Spheres - Troll".

Can we ask Big Stone to help train some rock troll guards?

This is much better than a one-sided gift. "If during the defense of Kaer Morhen, the enemy suddenly found a group of thick-skinned rock trolls defending the city..."

"Tsk tsk~"

“I can’t even imagine that scene!”

The more Ailin thought about it, the more excited he became. His passionate heart immediately dispelled the coldness.

With this mood, after walking for more than ten minutes, we arrived at the Ring of Elements.

Looking at the ruins of the ruins that were frozen by heavy snow not far away, Ailin opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind.

After two days of thinking, he has figured out how to hunt the Water Ghost King alone. Now all that’s left is for the cooldown of “Celestial Sphere Convergence” to end.

[Heavenly Sphere Convergence - Water Ghost, Cooling Time 12 Days 1 Hour 21 Minutes]

"It would be great if the energy of the Ring of Elements could offset all of these 12 days!"

He let out a long breath, lifted the swamp witch at his waist, and continued to move towards his goal.

"what?"

As soon as he reached the ruins, Ailin saw the scene in front of him, was stunned for a moment, and stopped.

A huge deep pit appeared before our eyes.

After taking a few more steps, he discovered that not only was there no snow in the deep pit, but even the rock foundation had emerged, and a small layer had been shaved off by something.

"What...what's going on here?" Ailin looked at the scene in shock.

"Sand~sand~sand~"

Walking out of the snow into the deep pit, he discovered more details.

The smooth cross-section of the snow, the ruins and stones that disappeared out of thin air, the bare dead trees without even snow, the irregularly distributed black mud that looked like riverbed silt, and...

Three-toed footprints extending towards another downhill path.

The distinctive footprints instantly alerted Ailin, and he subconsciously glanced at the swamp witch on his waist.

"Could that be it?"

He then walked to the footprints, squatted down, grabbed a handful of snow, closed his eyes, and opened the mutated organs on both sides of his nostrils.

In the dark vision before my eyes, many colors suddenly appeared.

Eliminate the distraction of irrelevant smells.

He loosened his nose twice.

Although the smell of the snow was very faint, the witcher's keen senses still allowed him to grasp its basic color.

Subsequently.

Two identical dark green lines that looked like water plants in a lake floated in the air and occupied Ailin's entire attention.

Investigate its root.

One came from the snow in his hands, and the other came from his waist.

"It's this swamp witch!"

Ailin suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

Swamp witch, arm bone of little fog demon, Jingguan, ring of elements...

and so.

Is this swamp witch from another world?
Are the traces here also caused by the intersection of celestial spheres?
Ailin looked again at the ground that seemed to have been carved out of thin air.

"Yes, it must be."

Even this swamp witch might come from the world of "Ritual: Flesh Giant".

"No wonder the painting style of the Jingguan is so strange, it is very different from the game. It turns out that this is not a sacrificial ceremony from this world."

Ailin nodded in understanding, then looked around and frowned.

“The traces here come from the intersection of the celestial spheres.”

This is easy to judge.

But the key point is why this "natural" intersection of the celestial spheres would happen in these two days, just after the high mountain trial?

Is it because of the Demon Hunting Notes?
