Chapter 109: Dreams End
"This...this..."

Magu opened his mouth incoherently, suddenly remembered the human corpse he saw at first sight, and looked towards the back of the rock troll.

"It turned out to be a zombie..." Now he was completely relieved.

A headless zombie does look like a human from a distance, but when you get closer, the difference is very obvious.

"Tread! Tread! Tread!"

The sound of hurried footsteps interrupted their conversation.

As soon as Ailin turned back at the sound of footsteps, he found that the Chief was standing behind him.

After the chief arrived, the witcher master and nearby witchers also came one after another.

When Broken Stone and Small Stone saw so many witchers holding small pointed metal sticks, they couldn't help but shrink behind the Big Stone in fear.

"...my fellow demon hunter...move things...the stone house...back home..."

Dashitou looked a little timid. After throwing the corpses on his back to the ground, he was about to say goodbye to Ailin.

Seeing this, Ailin knew that it was not appropriate to keep them to improve their favor under the circumstances.

So he looked at the chief and other demon hunters apologetically, and said to the rock trolls:
"Okay, Big Stone, thank you for today."

"... Demon Hunter... Friends... Friends... Help each other..."

The big stone touched its head naively, turned around and left with the broken stone and the small stone.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

The heavy footsteps gradually faded away.

"Alin, what's wrong with you..."

Seeing the rock trolls leaving, a demon hunter in the crowd suddenly questioned them in a rather impolite tone.

The chief glanced at the man and interrupted calmly, saying:
"Master Ailin!"

"What's going on? How come the rock trolls from the mountain trial appear here?"

Ailin was about to explain.

Ma Gu, who was standing aside, spoke:
"I'm sorry, Chief. I didn't see the situation clearly and rushed to ring the alarm. As for those few..."

After a pause, he continued incredulously:
"Those rock trolls are helping Master Arryn carry the spoils."

There was a sudden silence at the castle gate. The witchers holding long swords looked at each other and then at Aylin at the same time.

Ailin nodded and said:
"I made friends with these trolls during the mountain trial the day before yesterday."

"We killed a lot of monsters today, so we asked them to help carry them back..."

Before he finished speaking, there was an uproar at the city gate.

"First he killed the old spearhead, then he subdued the rock trolls. Ailin simply won the High Mountain Trial in one fell swoop."

"No need to be so! Have you forgotten how the title of Erin Water Ghost Killer came about? He also killed all the water ghosts in Killer Lake!"

"Yes, when I came back a few days ago, I was wondering why I didn't see any water ghosts on the riverside road..."

Everyone gathered around Ailin and talked a lot. Some wanted to know how he subdued the rock trolls, and some wanted to know how he hunted monsters...

Ailin was speechless for a moment, not knowing which question to answer.
"All right!"

"Since there's nothing else to do, let's all go."

A steady and heavy voice sounded, helping Ailin out of the predicament.

After hearing the chief's order, everyone felt a little unsatisfied.

However, thinking that there was still a long time to go and that Ailin would eventually appear in the castle hall, they all left obediently.

The crowd gradually dispersed.

Demon Hunter Master Aristo was about to help Aelin deal with the spoils with the Chief, when he suddenly discovered something and frowned.

The other gatekeeper is not here.

"By the way, Magoo, where's Sally?"

Magu was stunned when he heard this. After a moment of silence, he awkwardly told the truth about what had just happened.

The witcher masters present were stunned.

It was already strange that the second-floor corridor that controlled the opening and closing of the city gate was locked.

When hearing that another gatekeeper, Sally, had forgotten even the Alder Sign, even the chief, who always appeared dignified and indifferent, couldn't help but open his mouth slightly.

No wonder Kaer Morhen was destroyed by a sneak attack.

This is still daytime, if it were night...

Ailin shuddered subconsciously and suddenly felt very insecure.

"Damn Sally, that coward must have deserted the battlefield..." Demon Hunter Master Arestor was furious, with curse words spewing out of his mouth.

A minute later, when his anger had abated a little, he remembered that the chief was still here, and instantly felt awkward and embarrassed again.

After all, Sally was the traveling apprentice he brought up, and doing something like this brought shame to him.

"I'm sorry, Chief."

"I didn't teach you well."

The chief patted his shoulder, shook his head and said:
"This has little to do with you. Sally is already an independent demon hunter. Find time to talk to him!"

"Yes, Aristo, Sally has been independent for several years. This has nothing to do with you!" said Vesemir.

Several other demon hunter masters also offered their condolences.

Aristo shook his head helplessly.

He glanced at Arryn, then looked at Vesemir enviously for a moment and sighed.

Then he left to look for Sally.

Watching the demon hunter master leaving, Ailin stood in the shadows, pondered for a moment, then lowered his head to continue processing the materials.

Swamp witches and ghouls are common monsters.

With the help of several demon hunter masters, it was quickly dealt with.

"call!"

Ailin let out a long sigh, thanked several witcher masters, and was about to leave with the materials.

The chief stopped him and said:

"Alin, come with me, let's discuss the potion and the Ice Spear spell."

……

sunset.

It was getting dark.

Two figures, one tall and one short, carrying two swords, walked silently on the avenue of the Ancient Sea Fortress.

The two people were walking and talking.

"I heard from Vera that you created two more potion recipes?" the Chief asked casually.

"Yes, the heart essence of the water ghost can improve strength and physique, Cat's Eye..."

Before Ailin finished speaking, the chief suddenly stopped and looked at him in surprise:
"Are you sure about improving your strength and physique? Are there any side effects?"

No wonder the chief was so surprised.

There are indeed many potions that can improve the physical fitness of demon hunters, but even if the effect is weak, the price is very expensive.

But when the Chief went to see the sorceress this morning, the sorceress said that the raw materials used by Ailin to make medicine were very common.

Ailin was not surprised to see this. After all, every essence in the Demon Hunting Notes was indeed very magical.

“Hughes, Bonte and Fred all started using it yesterday, and their strength and stamina have definitely improved a lot.”

"As for the side effects..."

Ailin paused, glanced at the shock on the chief's face, and said:

"The more you use it, the less effective it will be. If you are too physically strong, it seems to affect the effect, but I haven't tried it yet."

"This isn't really a side effect..." The Chief took a deep breath, calmed down, and asked, "Do you have this potion?"

There is... in the inventory... Ailin complained in his heart, looking at the Chief's impatient expression, and said:

"I don't have any, but I can make it now. It's quick."

The chief nodded slightly and quietly changed the direction of travel to the path closest to the south tower.

Subsequently.

The two demon hunters suddenly fell silent, with only the sound of footsteps accompanying them.

until……

The chief looked at the red sunset in the distance and suddenly asked:
"Do you think Kaer Morhen will really fall like you dreamed?"

Ailin was stunned for a moment, and after thinking for a moment, he said seriously:

"Isn't everything we do now to prevent that dream from happening?"
