Chapter 14 Are all talented witcher apprentices like this?

It was dark when Arryn returned to the apprentice dormitory.

Torches were lit in the corridors of the dormitory.

In the flickering firelight, he saw a familiar figure standing at the door of the apprentice dormitory carrying something.

Take a few steps closer.

A black wide-brimmed hat, dark golden cat eyes, and two... a sword on his back.

It's Vesemir.

"Master Vesemir, why are you here?"

"I've got something for you, take it!"

Ailin reached out to take it and glanced down.

A brown bag filled to the brim, feeling a bit heavy in my hand.

“The silver sword needs daily maintenance.” Vesemir folded his arms and leaned against the wall. “After lunch, I thought you must have no tools, so I brought all of Elsa’s tools here.”

Vesemir then asked, “Do you remember how to maintain your silver sword?”

"Of course." Ailin nodded.

“That’s fine,” Vesemir nodded after hearing the reply, and then said with emotion:
"I had expected that you were different, so I came here a little earlier."

"I didn't expect to miss you like this."

"Don't you want to ask the reason?" Ailin asked curiously.

He has made up several excuses, but it seems like none of them can be used.

Vesemir smiled and said, "Digesting the potion in advance is something that any apprentice with outstanding talent can do."

"You even have the Demon Hunter's Eye, so it's not surprising that you can do this."

"Really? That's good." Ailin breathed a sigh of relief.

Although the Wolf School prohibits witcher apprentices from leaving Kaer Morhen.

But as the apprentices pass the trials one by one, the areas of the castle open to them will continue to expand.

Therefore, in their free time, the apprentices just need to stay in the castle.

After delivering the things, Vesemir planned to leave.

But after seeing Ailin's expression as if he had let go of a heavy burden, he couldn't help but ask:
"By the way, where did you go just now?"

Ailin replied, "The alchemy room in the south tower."

Alchemy room? Are you going to get dinner?

Vesemir looked at the apprentice suspiciously.

Ailin had nothing in his hands except the bag he had just given him.

So he asked, "What about your dinner? Didn't you go to the alchemy room to get the potion?"

"No, I'm going to learn alchemy."

alchemy?
Why would a witcher apprentice learn alchemy?
wrong.

Where did he find the time to learn alchemy, and from whom did he learn it?

Isn't there only one wizard apprentice in the alchemy room?

Because of Arryn's words, countless questions flooded into Vesemir's mind, and he didn't know where to start for a moment.

After a long silence, Vesemir sorted out the confusion in his mind and asked:

"When did you leave the dormitory?"

Considering the special nature of the Witcher's Eye, Vesemir came over around dusk.

It's just getting dark now.

He originally thought that Ailin woke up only slightly earlier than he arrived.

But this amount of time is only enough to travel back and forth between the alchemy room and the apprentice dormitory, and there is no time to do anything else.

"The sun was just overhead when I left," Ailin answered honestly.

"At that time, I was still bragging to Leto and the others." Vesemir thought to himself.

Although it was unlikely, Vesemir couldn't help but ask:

"Did you have 'lunch' at noon?"

“I drank it.” Arryn looked at Vesemir in confusion.

Every meal during these ten days is very important to the apprentices after the Green Grass Trial.

It is not just about adding attributes, or adding attributes is just a superficial phenomenon.

The real purpose of these meals is to reconcile the conflict between the mutant tissue and normal flesh and blood in the apprentice's body. If one of the meals is missed, at the very least, a tumor will grow somewhere in the body, and in severe cases, it may even be life-threatening.

Apprentices who have made it to this point today all have a strong desire to survive.

Who would joke with their own life?

He is so reckless that he would have died in the Green Grass Trial long ago.

"Oh oh... just drink it, just drink it."

Vesemir nodded absentmindedly, then pretended to ask nonchalantly:

"How long did it take you to digest the side effects of 'lunch'?"

As soon as he asked the question, Arryn knew why Vesemir was acting so strangely.

Seeing the Demon Hunter Master's incredulous expression, Ailin felt secretly happy.

Subsequently.

Ailin restrained his expression, imitated Hughes's ignorance, and asked back:
"I don't know why, but the side effects of today's lunch disappeared in the blink of an eye."

"Master Vesemir, do all talented apprentices digest their knowledge in advance in this way?"

Vesemir was silent for a moment, then abruptly changed the subject:

"Who did you learn alchemy from?"

"There is usually only one wizard apprentice in the alchemy room. He can only make some simple potions. Don't be fooled."

Vesemir did not ask him why he studied alchemy.

While processing materials at noon, Ailin showed his curiosity about alchemy.

"The lessons Miss Vera gave me."

“Vera?” Vesemir hesitated for a moment and suddenly asked in surprise, “Vera of Toussaint? The woman known as the Bloody Red Fox?”

"You're asking me?" Ailin said inwardly, "Didn't you ask Bonte and Fred to go to the alchemy room to heal their injuries?"

And what about the wizard's apprentice?

Aren’t all the people in the alchemy room women?

Although he was a little confused, Ailin replied directly:
"I don't know that. I only know her name is Vera."

At this moment, a deep voice came from outside.

"What happened to Vera?"

Arryn and Vesemir looked in the direction of the sound.

Heavy footsteps were heard from a distance.

The leader of the Wolf School emerged from the darkness, carrying an exquisite water bag.

"chief."

"chief."

After nodding in response, the chief handed the water bag to Ailin and said, "Take your dinner back quickly."

After Aelin thanked him, he saw Vesemir signal him to leave, so he turned and walked into the dormitory.

The apprentices in the dormitory woke up, lay on their sides on the bed with their eyes open, and seemed to be digesting the last aftertaste of "lunch".

When they saw someone coming in, they all turned their heads to look at Ailin.

After noticing the gaze, Ailin nodded and smiled, then raised the water bag and said:
"Chief, bring the dinner..."

The words are not finished yet.

Everyone in the apprentice dormitory closed their eyes instantly.

He turned weakly and shakily, with his butt facing Aelin.

Just like a child who suddenly pretends to sleep because he doesn't want to take medicine.

Ailin smiled helplessly.

Ok.

With the essence, he forgot for a moment what these meals meant to the apprentices.

After putting away his luggage and water bag, Arlin sat on the bed and listened to the conversation between the chief and Vesemir outside the door.

But because of the distance, I could only hear some intermittent and incoherent content.

For example, "Vera", "Alchemy Class", "Eyes of the Demon Hunter", "Experimental Records"...

After a few words of conversation, the two demon hunters left together.
