Chapter 11 Clues to Alchemy
The killer whale potion formula is obtained.

Ailin's current goal is naturally Alchemy Level 2, the key is how to acquire the skill.

Hunting water ghosts and opening boxes is one way, but he really doesn't think his luck is good, and there is no guarantee that the alchemy skills will be found in the boxes.

Another way is to learn.

Since the Wolf School two-handed sword can be recognized and improved by the Demon Hunting Notes, there is no reason why alchemy cannot do the same.

therefore.

After leaving the apprentice dormitory, Ailin walked straight towards the east tower.

Vesemir mentioned this morning that there is an alchemy room on the second floor of the south tower, and there should be someone there who knows alchemy.

……

Kaer Morhen in 1179 is different from Kaer Morhen in 1272 in the game.

Due to the extremely low survival rate of witcher apprentices, the huge castle is naturally not crowded with people.

But it’s not deserted.

It may be because winter is approaching and the wandering witchers are returning home.

Just on the road he had just walked, Ailin had passed by four or five demon hunters carrying double swords.

On both sides of the avenue leading to the main castle, there are scattered blacksmith shops, tailor shops, material stores and other shops.

If the shop's craftsmen were not all elderly witchers with white hair and cat eyes, Ailin would have almost had the illusion that this was just an ordinary castle.

"So, this majestic castle became dilapidated, the prosperous Wolf School was almost destroyed, and in the end, only Vesemir, Geralt, Eskar and Lambert's Kaer Morhen defense battle remained..."

"What year?"

Ailin couldn't help but think.

After having some idea of ​​how to deal with the mountain trial, Ailin couldn't help but think about the future that he had deliberately avoided.

That’s the downside of being a prophet.

Knowing the future, we naturally can’t help but worry about our tomorrow and the day after tomorrow.

What’s even more painful is that we only know the results, not the process, and we don’t even know when the crisis began.

The journey to the alchemy room was smooth.

There was no one who stopped him and asked him why he was not taking a "lunch break" in the apprentice dormitory, trembling in pain.

None of the excuses I prepared in advance were used.

Arriving at the tower, walking through the long corridors and stairs, Ailin arrived at the alchemy room.

The wooden door of the alchemy room was closed.

"Boom dong~dong dong~"

Aelin knocked on the door.

"Squeak~"

The person who opened the door was a girl who was older than him.

Dark red hair and pretty appearance.

"Who are you looking for?" the girl asked.

girl?

Aren't warlocks from the School of Wolf wizards?
Although it was a little strange, Ailin still asked as planned:
"Is this the Wolf School's alchemy room? I want to learn alchemy?"

"Learning alchemy?" The girl seemed surprised. After taking a closer look at him, she replied, "This is an alchemy room, but it's private."

"private?"

This was something Ailin had not expected beforehand.

The alchemy room where Vesemir had his apprentices treat him and get "lunch" was not actually part of the school.

Do wizards have so much power in Kaer Morhen?

Or is it that even in Kaer Morhen, cracks are beginning to appear in the relationship between wizards and witchers?

After a few seconds of silence, Ailin took out the illusion pendant from his collar and asked tentatively:

"Then can I learn from the master here?"

“I can pay for the tuition.”

The girl was about to speak when a mature female voice came from inside the door.

"Mary? Who is it?"

Mary turned around and replied, "A little demon hunter who wants to learn alchemy for a fee."

"Little demon hunter? Paying to learn alchemy?" A mature female voice was surprised. "Among the brainless and reckless men who can only spin in circles, there is such an outlier?"

"Da da da"

The sound of footsteps similar to high heels approaching.

The future brainless reckless man and little witcher Ailin stood at the door awkwardly.

Mary was equally embarrassed. She raised the corners of her mouth with difficulty and forced a smile full of apology.

When the footsteps stopped, a woman appeared in front of Ailin.

In the late autumn of Kaer Morhen, even the weeds on the roadside will condense into white frost flowers in the early morning to show respect for the austere autumn.

However, Ailin could not see any respect for Qiu from the woman in front of him.

A sheer, translucent deep V dress.

On the fiery red silk fabric, gold threads and pearls outline intricate patterns.

Finally, add flowing dark red hair.

When he first saw her, Ailin thought it was a hot summer day.

Sexy outfit and a face as delicate as a porcelain doll.

Obviously, this is not a wizard, but a sorceress.

Ailin vaguely realized that he seemed to have come to the wrong place.

But since I'm here now... "Can I learn alchemy from you?" He asked again, then took off the magic pendant and placed it in his palm, "I can use this magic pendant to pay the tuition."

The sorceress was stunned when she saw Ailin.

Then he looked at the pendant in Ailin's palm with a complicated expression and asked, "Do you know the name of this necklace?"

"Vera's illusion pendant?"

The sorceress nodded and said:
"This pendant is called this, and besides..."

"I am Vera."

Ailin: (⊙_⊙)
?

!!!

"Pfft~"

Uncontrollable laughter came from the side.

"Feel sorry."

The girl, Mary, apologized awkwardly and ran into the house.

Ailin, feeling extremely embarrassed, withdrew his hand to take back the pendant and prepared to leave.

But the sorceress suddenly said at this time: "But it's okay."

Ailin subconsciously asked, "What can I do?"

"Didn't you ask me if I could teach you alchemy?" Sorceress Vera repeated, "I said yes."

Then the sorceress turned and walked into the house.

Ailin hurried to follow.

"boom"

As soon as he stepped into the house, the wooden door closed by itself.

"Is this magic?" Ailin wondered in his heart.

Enter the alchemy room.

Ailin found that although this was a place for alchemy, there was no strange smell inside.

Instead, as soon as I entered the door, I smelled a faint scent of orange mixed with cardamom.

Fluffy red carpets and colorful paintings.

Lace curtains adorned the cool stone windowsills.

Except for the lack of a bed, this place is more like a bedroom than an alchemy room.

There were only four alchemy tables leaning against the wall, stubbornly proving the orthodox nature of the room.

Mary was sitting at one of the alchemy tables, grinding something in a mortar.

Seeing Ailin come in, she smiled and nodded, then lowered her head to continue grinding.

"Come sit here." Vera pointed to the seat next to her.

Ailin sat down somewhat nervously, still holding the pendant in his hand, not knowing where to put it.

"Where should I put this pendant?" he asked.

"This is your stuff, why are you asking me?" Vera was a little confused, but then she realized, "I'll teach you alchemy for free."

"So what do you want?" Ailin asked.

Of course he was happy to keep the pendant.
But the free ones are the most expensive.

Ailin didn't think that his charm was so great that he could invite a strange female sorceress to teach him in person for free.

"Just answer me a question." Vera raised her slender white index finger. "Why do you want to learn alchemy?"

"What's the price?" Ayling thought.

Not knowing whether the sorceress in front of him could read his mind, after considering for a moment, Ailin decided to tell the truth.

"I want to make a potion to pass the mountain trial."

"You are still an apprentice?" Mary exclaimed.

The girl had been eavesdropping openly.

Aelin nodded.

Mary's surprise was not surprising.

Monsterology, swordsmanship, magic signs, body adaptation potions...

The period from the Trial of Green Grass to the Trial of the Mountains may be the busiest time in the lives of most demon hunters.

If it weren't for the essence, he would still be lying in the apprentice dormitory and would have no time to run around.

But what surprised him was that the sorceress still had that expressionless look on her face.

There was no surprise, nor any further questions. She seemed to agree with the answer, but also seemed not to care about his answer at all.

"Snapped"

Vera snapped her fingers.

A black book slowly flew over from the alchemy table next to Mary.

After it gently landed on Ailin's desk, it opened to the first page.

Regardless of Aelin's surprise, Vera went straight to class.

"Since we are going to make potions, let's start with the most basic "Alchemy and Potions"."

"Potion, as the name suggests, is a potion that contains magical power..."

……

"Ding, a clue to the skill: [Alchemy] was discovered."

"Do you want to spend 10000 small experience beads to unlock the skill?"

10000?
Ailin: (╯°□°）╯︵┻━┻
