Chapter 16 Quinn
After Vesemir and the Chief left, Arryn sat on his bed, thinking of a way to leave Kaer Morhen.

"Am I not suitable to be a demon hunter?"

Ailin looked in the direction of the voice and saw Hughes lying on the bed, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Hughes's talent is indeed very poor.

By this time, Fred and Bunter had finished their dinner, and Hughes was just recovering from the afterglow of lunch.

When it comes to digesting dinner, he's slower than the others.

Combined with the two, Hughes only slept four hours a night at most.

Although Vesemir is a good person, he will not accommodate apprentices with poor talents.

This is the rule that witchers teach their apprentices.

It seems that the only level left for the apprentices is the mountain trial.

But the screening is ongoing.

"Not to mention a natural demon hunter like you, even compared to Bonte and the others, I am still far behind..." Zeus turned his back.

Ailin didn't know what Xius's expression was now, he could only pat him on the shoulder and comfort him:
"It will be fine."

……

early morning
The road to Kaer Morhen.

"Do you feel that you are much more awake today than yesterday?" Xius rubbed his eyes and asked doubtfully.

Fred wiped his face, a little uncertain: "Hearing you say that, it seems that you are a little more sober."

"No way?" Bonte touched his forehead, "Why don't I feel anything? Is it your illusion?"

The three people seemed to have different opinions, but the atmosphere was harmonious.

After Ailin's heroic feat of taking on three apprentices alone yesterday, the relationship between the four apprentices has improved a lot.

Or a lot more familiar.

Ailin's original incarnation and Zeus had been friends since childhood, and they had been training as witchers together since they were four years old.

Then choices, grass, and dreams.

After several trials, it is not an exaggeration to say that we live and die together.

Bunter and Fred didn't know each other.

But it only takes an opportunity for children to get to know each other.

The Chief's custom leather armor is such an opportunity.

Although the things have not been delivered yet, the four people have already formed a small group headed by Ailin.

Seeing that Bonte and Fred had different feelings, Hughes tilted his head curiously and asked:

"Alin, what do you think?"

"Are you more awake today than yesterday?"

Before Ailin could express his opinion, he was interrupted by Bonte's voice.

"Xius, you call this sober?" Bonte touched Xius's little head, "Have you forgotten that Ailin is not affected by the potion? You just said that."

"Oh, I forgot..." Xius smiled embarrassedly.

……

Chirp chirp… chirp chirp…

Even the biting cold wind couldn't freeze their crackling little mouths.

Ailin felt that the people walking beside him were not witcher apprentices, but a group of chatterbox little sparrows.

He has been screaming since he got up, making me dizzy and headache.

But who made him so naughty?
If they hadn't been impulsive last night, how could these little guys be so energetic.

Yes, Aelin drugged the water bag last night.

After taking the water bag from the chief and walking into the dormitory, Ailin somehow took out a bottle of heart essence and poured a quarter of it into the water bag.

I made up my mind to keep myself out of trouble at noon, but it was broken that evening.

Looking back, Ailin couldn't understand why he suddenly acted impulsively.

It is obvious that these children would not die if the essence liquid was not added.

At most, you will suffer a little longer, doze off a little more during lectures, and the risk of death in the mountain trial will be slightly higher.

Could it be the influence of the original owner?

Aelin sighed.

Amidst this lively atmosphere, Ailin and his companions arrived at the apprentice training ground.

Vesemir has arrived.

He was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat and sitting alone on the stone where he had given the lecture yesterday.

Seeing the apprentices full of energy and spirit, Vesemir was very satisfied: "Very good, they are all in high spirits!"

"It seems that no one will sleep in my class for the whole morning today," Vesemir tilted his head to stare at Hughes and asked, "What do you think, Hughes?"

The extremely oppressive gaze made Xiu stutter: "Should... not?" Vesemir said expressionlessly: "Are you asking me?"

"No... not should, but won't. No one will sleep in your class." Zeus was startled and quickly corrected himself.

"Very good, then let's get started." Vesemir nodded and started today's seal class.

"A seal is a simple spell that can be quickly released with one hand during battle..."

"We use this technique to assist in fast-paced combat, but always remember that it is only an auxiliary means, and your sword is your most reliable partner..."

"There are six kinds of seals passed down by the Wolf School."

"Today, we are learning one of them - Quin."

"Queen, passive seal. After the seal is cast, a magic shield will be formed around the body to absorb physical damage..."

"...As beginners, Quinn is the most suitable seal for you."

"He can harmlessly help you find your own magic organs and lay the foundation for learning other seals..."

As Vesemir began to speak, Aelin heard a familiar mechanical sound.

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

"Do you want to spend 100 small experience beads to unlock the skill?"

Are the bundled seals sold separately?
Demon Hunting Notes, you are amazing!

Ailin had thought that the six sigils were learned as a whole.

The option to unlock skills appeared, allowing Ailin to focus more.

"The specific gesture is to bend the thumb and pinky finger, put the middle finger and ring finger together, and move forward..."

[Do you want to spend 64 small experience beads to unlock the skill? ]

"…Remember that the symbol of the Quen Sign is a triangle. This is the most stable structure found by warlocks. When you construct it in your mind…"

[Do you want to spend 32 small experience beads to unlock the skill? ]

"Now, let me demonstrate it. Watch my gestures carefully and use your demon hunter senses to sense the direction of the magic power..."

……

After about half an hour, Vesemir stopped talking and started practicing.

After trying for a while, Ailin found that it would take at least half a day for him to learn this seal.

But the witcher apprentice's plan requires him to excel in order to increase the possibility of leaving Kaer Morhen.

and so.

[Do you want to spend 8 small experience beads to unlock the skill? ]

Ailin no longer hesitated and clicked with his mind.

[Ding! You have acquired the skill: Quinn LV1]

The moment the prompt sounded, a large number of unfamiliar memories of practicing Quinn appeared in his mind.

It seemed as if Ailin had been practicing this seal for a year.

After receiving the information, Ailin opened the panel.

【Evaluation: Dish!!】

The improvement of the properties comes from the dinner and the three-quarters of the water ghost heart extract.
A total of 2.9 attribute points were added, which was 0.3 less than yesterday at noon, but still considerable.

When he woke up in the morning, Ailin could clearly feel that his physical strength had improved a lot.

He walked from the apprentice dormitory to the training ground without even taking a breath.

The improvement of attributes is addictive, and Ailin can now feel the surging power in his body.

This joyful mood only lasted until the prop bar ended.

Ailin looked at the dazzling 1 after seeing the water ghost's heart extract. Even though he had already planned it, he still couldn't help feeling a little nervous.

"There's only one water ghost heart extract left. Whether we can get Kaer Morhen depends on whether the new Quen can help us."
