Chapter 107 Poverty Alleviation Posts
He bent the index finger of his right hand, and as the magic power flowed, a heat current surged from his heart and spurted out through his right hand.

Igni Seal.

"Fu~"

Hot sparks ignited the fire

Ailin lit the torches in front of the altar one by one in the order of water, earth, air, and fire.

After opening the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind, he waited for changes to occur.

The story of how the swamp witch traveled from another world is certainly curious.

However, facing the fate of the school's destruction and the destruction of one's body and soul, the most important thing is how to make oneself and the school's strength further.

Furthermore.

The Demon Hunting Notes cannot speak, and the traces of the swamp witch or the intersection of the celestial spheres alone cannot bring much useful information.

In the end, you will be trapped in the mystery of guessing and delay your work.

"So, let's put it aside for now. There are so many mysteries about the Demon Hunting Notes, and this one is no different." Ailin comforted himself and turned on the magic perspective of the Wolf Emblem.

The free magic in the air was clearly several times more than in the previous two days.

The stars are dotted around, rotating around the ring of elements.

Like the Milky Way in the sky.

Ailin felt more confident after seeing this.

Unfortunately, ten minutes have passed.

In the Demon Hunter's Notes, the cooldown time of Celestial Conjunction was reduced by ten minutes.

"Are there really not that many loopholes to exploit?"

Ailin sighed regretfully, disconnected the magic perspective, and turned to walk towards the rock troll camp.

As he left, he looked back at the big pit repeatedly.

Obviously.

Ailin was not as relieved about the swamp witch's time-travel story as he said.

……

When we reached the troll camp, the big stones, broken stones, and small stones had already finished eating the carrion and were standing side by side on the road.

"...monster...friend...troll...moving things..."

Seeing Ailin coming, several rock trolls hurried over to greet him.

"belch--"

When Broken Stone walked over, he paused and couldn't help burping.

The unique stench of rotten meat instantly rushed towards Ailin.

"boom!"

Before Ailin could say anything, Big Stone immediately took action and hit the broken stone.

"...broken stone...deserves to be beaten..."

Then, regardless of the broken stone's reaction, he smiled at Ailin innocently and said:
"...monster...friend...troll...moving things..."

Arlin nodded gently, and led the three rock trolls towards Old Spearhead's cave.

The rock trolls were cave creatures with a certain degree of night vision, so they had no objection when they saw Aylin leading them into the cave.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

The slight tremor of the earth when the trolls stepped on it reminded Ailin of the trace that seemed to be the intersection of the celestial spheres, so he asked:
"Has anything strange happened near your camp in the past two days?"

Broken Stone and Small Stone looked confused.

Dashitou paused, tilted his head and thought for a while before saying:
"... the ground is shaking... the noise is loud... the little stone... I can't sleep..."

When Little Stone heard his name, he looked at him blankly with his small eyes as big as green beans. When he found that no one paid attention to him, he followed Broken Stone closely.

The ground shook and there was a loud noise...

So there was indeed an "earthquake" near the Ring of Elements... Ailin touched his chin, pondered for a moment, and asked again.

"Big Rock, do you remember when the ground moved?"

The big stone stopped again, tilted his head and thought for a long time before saying:
"...it's dark...it's bright...it's dark...Little Stone can't sleep..."

One black, one bright, one dark…

So it happened to be the night after the trial ended.

No, it shouldn't be a coincidence.

My previous guess should be correct, it is because the changes were caused by the Demon Hunting Notes absorbing energy.

The Ring of Elements is originally the connection point where the celestial spheres intersect. It is reasonable that the magic power is instantly emptied, resulting in instability in the space of the connection point.

Based on this reasoning, perhaps the swamp witch comes from the world on the other side of the connection point?

So "Ritual: Flesh Giant" is also from another world?
Is it really such a coincidence?
Ailin lowered his head in thought. After a moment, he noticed three pairs of eyes fixed on him, so he looked up.

The big rock was still looking at him, as if waiting for his next question.

After thinking for a moment, Ailin had nothing else to ask, so he nodded and said gently:
"Thank you, Big Stone, let's keep going."

Dashitou touched his head and looked a little shy: "... Demon Hunter... Friends... Friends... Help each other..."

……

The return journey was uneventful.

Apart from the water ghost temple where a few zombies appeared from nowhere, there was nothing unusual.

As for those zombies.

As soon as they rushed over, they were pinned to the ground by big rocks and broken stones, one by one, and smashed to death.

The sharp claws created sparks but did not cause any harm to the big rocks.

Before Ailin even had time to draw his sword, he had already received several more trophies.

None of the three rock trolls want these ghouls.

According to Broken Stone's words:

"... Monster meat... is not tasty... Demon Hunter meat... is tasty..."

If it weren't for the fact that Ailin had spent some time with a few rock trolls and had some ability to translate the common language of trolls.

Just hearing this, he thought Broken Stone wanted to eat his flesh.

of course,

Although Ailin didn't care, Big Stone still caught the mistake in his speech and punched him hard.

During the fights and quarrels along the way, Ailin realized that these three trolls were actually a family.

Little Stone is a minor troll, his father is Broken Stone and his mother is Big Stone.

Yes.

The largest stone is a "female", and is said to be much older than the broken stone.

As for her past, Dashitou, who had originally been open about it, now hesitated and seemed unwilling to talk about it more.

There must be some story here, and it should include the reasons for the peculiar personality of this rock troll. Ailin is of course very curious.

But out of respect, and in order not to destroy the fragile relationship between the man and the demon.

Ailin didn't ask any further questions.

after all.

In his heart, these three rock trolls will become his demons sooner or later.

These stories will be known sooner or later, there is no need to be so anxious.

……

The gates of Kaer Morhen.

There is actually a salary for guarding the castle, three orens a day.

This level of remuneration is already very high among all the city gate guards in the Northern Kingdom.

Even in the famously wealthy Free City of Novigrad, it would take seven days to pay one Oren, not to mention other cities.

But for a demon hunter, this is obviously not a good job.

At least not enough to make them leave the banquets and revelries in the main castle hall and run outside to stand guard in the cold in the winter.

This position is only used to "help the poor".

Nowadays.

The witchers Magu and Sally were on guard duty.

"Damn it! Kaer Morhen is getting colder and colder!" Sally huddled in the doorway and rubbed his hands vigorously.

He is not a talented demon hunter, and his physique is only slightly better than that of an ordinary person.

Therefore, the cold weather made him want to finish this task quickly and return to the main castle hall to drink a pot of warm wine.

Magu stood guard in the cold wind with a serious face. He glanced at Sally and said nothing.

There was a flash of contempt in his eyes.

"If I hadn't been injured and had equipment repairs and owed the school 234 Oren, I wouldn't have associated with such a person."

Just as Magu was sighing in his heart.

Down the steep slope at the end of the sight.

Suddenly, two dark blue "stones" appeared, carrying several headless "human" corpses.

He rubbed his eyes, and his expression suddenly changed after he saw the hideous, bloody head of the rock troll under the stone.

The rock trolls are large monsters and are not something they can deal with.

Without time to think carefully, Magu immediately ran back to pull the alarm and shouted:

"The rock trolls are coming!"
