Chapter 20 Before My Father's Father (Thanks to the monthly ticket from book friend "aka_")

"Well...Erin, are you done?" Vesemir was a little hesitant to confirm.

Leto was so shocked that he was speechless, but when he heard Vesemir's tone, he squinted and thought:

"You don't know either, why were you so cocky just now?"

Ailin adjusted his mentality and said, "Yes, I'm fine."

Leto couldn't help but pat Vesemir on the shoulder and asked:
"Damn it... What's wrong with the guy who cooked the mushroom soup? Did he get confused after reading some pornographic books? How dare an apprentice cut corners on the mushroom soup?"

"You'd better watch your mouth. The one who cooked the mushroom soup was Ms. Vera." Vesemir still valued the friendship between companions and couldn't help but remind Leto.

"Vera? Which Vera?"

"Vera of Toussaint, the bloody red fox..."

"Shit... is it the Chief's old lover?" Leto was so surprised that he could not say anything more. "The Chief finally understands the difficulties of a school without a formal wizard?"

Before he finished his question, Leto asked again with great interest: "How did he kidnap the sorceress? Do you know any news?"

"I don't know. Let me remind you..."

Vesemir glanced at Arryn, who pretended not to hear anything, and reminded him again:
"Alin is currently studying alchemy with Ms. Vera... We can see each other every day..."

Laito's face darkened immediately.

He believed that the apprentice would not speak nonsense, but most sorceresses could read minds.

If Vera read what he just said...

After Leto's brain started working at high speed, his face turned even darker.

"Vesemir, why didn't you remind me just now?" Leto scolded angrily.

"Are you sure I didn't remind you?" Vesemir's face showed that he had done his best.

"Snapped"

A slap on the forehead.

Leto asked persistently, "What is the magic that made our most respected Ms. Vera famous?"

"Vera's shape-changing spell is also known as the Leech Transfiguration Spell. It is said that... the leeches transformed by the demon hunters have extremely high medicinal value..."

"Can I ask the Chief for mercy?"

"If the Chief knew what you just said, he might not help you..."

Amber cat eyes trembled in his eye sockets, and Laito paced back and forth in front of everyone, and suddenly stopped after a moment.

"What's wrong? Have you come up with a solution?" Vesemir asked curiously. "Actually, you don't have to worry. Even for the sake of the chief, Ms. Vera will never kill you no matter what."

"There are many ways that are crueler than death, and Ms. Vera is the best at this." Leto rolled his eyes and said, "I plan to hide outside."

"You're not planning on spending the winter in Kaer Morhen this year?"

"What do you think? Let's go, aren't you going to take your apprentice to catch water ghosts..."

Leto urged Vesemir frantically.

Vesemir had no choice but to bid farewell to his apprentices in a hurry, then called Arryn and walked out of the castle.

……

"Ms. Vera... not that cruel, right?"

As they walked down the mountain, Ailin couldn't help but ask.

"Are you kidding me, Bloody..."

"Leto!"

Hearing Ailin's doubts, Leto couldn't help but explain to the ignorant apprentice what a bloody red fox was.

He was quickly stopped by Vesemir.

Laito could only smile apologetically, then shut up and walked in front of the three.

Vesemir withdrew his gaze, pondered the words carefully, and explained to Arryn:

"Leto is a brainless man. He had no intention of offending the lady..."

Rather than a conversation with Arryn, Vesemir was expressing his apologies on behalf of Leto to a sorceress who might have seen this scene.

After finishing a long paragraph of Vesemir's version of "Leto's Apology", Vesemir seemed a little sorry and advised:
"Erin, you have to be respectful to Ms. Vera. She came from an era even older than when I was born. My grandfather's grandfather was not even born at that time..."

Ailin looked strange when he heard this.

He wondered if Lady Vera really knew about today's conversation, would she punish Leto or Vesemir.

Master Demon Hunter, age is a big taboo for women!

"...Ms. Vera's methods were sometimes extreme, but that was a chaotic era. Regardless of good or evil, everyone treated their enemies in the same way." "As far as I know, Ms. Vera has never bullied the weak, so you don't have to be afraid."

Because Ms. Vera never bullies the weak, he doesn't need to be afraid. Ailin couldn't help rolling his eyes.

Vesemir really knows how to talk.

It's hard for the Master Demon Hunter to describe him as weak so politely.

"Shh! We're here!"

Laito, who was at the front of the team, suddenly stopped and turned around to give a reminder.

"The first lesson in hunting monsters is tracking." Vesemir pointed to the ground below him and said softly with a serious expression, "Use your keen senses as a monster hunter to find these water ghosts."

[Ding! Found a main task: Tracking (Find the water ghost group 0/1)]

[Mission Reward: Tracking LV1]

The ghost system finally made some movement.

Heaven is indeed outside the castle of Kaer Morhen.

Taking a deep breath to calm himself, Ailin looked down.

The ground in late autumn is covered with burnt yellow broken leaves, which are distributed in no regular pattern.

Ailin didn't notice any difference at first glance.

If it had been Leto who pointed out the marks, Arryn might have suspected that he was teasing him, but not Vesemir, who was serious about teaching his apprentice.

So Ailin calmed down and tried to observe from different angles.

Since Vesemir and the system have confirmed that it is a group of water ghosts.

It is definitely right to start from the characteristics of water ghosts.

Ailin looked up at the direction of the sun and walked to a place opposite to it.

There was indeed a small area of ​​sparkling light where Vesemir had pointed out.

It's the reflection of liquid, it must have been left by a water ghost.

“Not bad. I didn’t expect that you could find clues on your first hunt.” Vesemir nodded with satisfaction. “Go on, find them, and kill them.”

Hearing this, Ailin nodded seriously.

"Kacha ~ Kacha ~"

The autumn leaves are yellow and dry, making a crackling sound when stepped on.

Arryn walked at the front of the three-man team, Vesemir stood behind and observed, and Leto was absent-minded at the end.

As the air gradually became humid, a stream soon appeared in front of Ailin.

“Quack~Quack~”

Quietly bending down, Ailin looked in the direction of the sound.

There were about eight water ghosts playing on the grass beside the stream.

"It's easy to judge the strength of a water ghost..." Vesemir reminded softly.

"It depends on the size of the body," Ailin continued.

"That's right, so these ones are not weak, much stronger than the ones you killed yesterday." Vesemir said.

"It's really not easy to find so many weak water ghosts." Leto interjected, looking very resentful.

Vesemir ignored Leto.

He looked at Ailin and asked softly, "How many do you want?"

The tone was as casual as if he was asking how many loaves of bread he wanted for dinner.

Ailin did not reply immediately. He gave an appraisal to the closest and strongest water ghost.

【Name: Water Ghost】

[Level: LV6]

[Attributes: Strength 13, Agility 11, Constitution 23, Perception 8, Mysticism 1]

It’s only Level 6, which is a difficulty level I can handle.

Ailin's eyes lit up slightly, and he turned to Vesemir and said:

"I want it all!"
