Chapter 217 Mutation Formula
After staring at the sunset in the sky for a long time, Ailin lowered his head and continued listening.

"In a ruined castle, facing a ferocious demon..."

"In a simple inn, facing a despicable demon hunter..."

"In an abandoned mine, facing a rock troll..."

"In Ban Ade again, I encountered the intersection of the celestial spheres and the curse of the black sun, and was besieged by so many monsters..."

"Alin, have you ever been scared?"

Afraid, maybe a little...

Ailin thought.

However, after being a demon hunter for such a long time, he has become more and more adapted to his current life.

And compared with the future where the school will be destroyed and relatives and friends will suffer.

It's just some normal mood swings.

Also.

Did Ms. Vera go into such detail?

Although some of the details were described in a rather tragic way, she told Mary every detail of what he had experienced along the way.

In the past, didn't the sorceress just use a stunning spell to deal with Mary without any further ado?
Ailin was a little surprised.

"When Ms. Vera was telling the story, I felt really scared and envious at the same time."

"Life in Kaer Morhen is too boring. Every day, apart from refining the essence of the water ghost's heart, I just read books..."

"I really want to go on adventures with you and fight all kinds of monsters together..."

"Alin, next time you go out, could you please ask Lady Vera to take your chief sorceress with you?"

"Ms. Vera listens to you the most."

"As long as you say it, she will definitely agree!"

I don’t have that much face… Ailin smacked his lips.

Besides, now that Mary and he are gone, who will help look after the affairs of the Demon Hunting Corps?

However, after the curse is lifted, he can lead the army to hunt monsters around Kaer Morhen and improve the strength of the members.

I'm sure Ms. Vera wouldn't have any objection to taking Mary with us at that time.

"Oh, oh, I almost forgot something important."

"Another group of demon hunter apprentices have reached the standard of the Trial of the Green Grass."

"Ms. Vera asked me to ask you, how do you plan to arrange these apprentices?"

"Is it to proceed directly to the trial?"

"Or should we continue training and take the herbal decoction when you return?"

"Finally, the silver jewelry made by the nuns of the Temple of Meritelli is very famous. Can you help me pick one?"

"Wait for a response..."

"Ms. Mary, the chief warlock of the Wolf Pack Alliance."

"The twelfth day of the Bi Ri Ke."

Bi Ri Ke...

The little girl is quite particular.

Aelin chuckled.

The way lovebirds convey information is similar to voice chat in the previous life, with each word echoing in the mind one by one.

Even more convenient than that.

You can pause, rewind, speed up or slow down with your mind.

Very user friendly.

However, when Mary used the love bird, she would send it to him in strict accordance with the format of a letter.

Even the date was based on the Elven calendar in the ancient language that was deliberately used by the upper class.

Kind of cute actually.

(Bi Ri Ke means the month of the spring equinox in ancient language. The twelfth day of Bi Ri Ke is actually the twelfth day after the spring equinox, which is April 2.)
"Chirp~chirp~"

After the message was transmitted, the lovebird tilted its crystal clear little neck and chirped twice.

It urged the witcher to reply as soon as possible.

Ailin bowed his head and pondered for a moment, choosing his words.

He didn't care about the affairs of half-elves, and according to Shadia, there was no need to do anything unnecessary.

Just follow the normal training steps for a witcher apprentice.

Mary and Aristo did a good job in training the candidate members of the Demon Hunting Corps, and it seemed that there was no need for him to intervene.

At most, he would pass on the newly acquired white honey and swallow's potion recipe to Mary.

Let her figure it out and learn it by herself, and then teach it to the other members of the corps.

correct!

formula!

The recipe for Ghoul's Heart Extract can also be passed on to Mary.

There was no one to teach me step by step.

It would take Mary at least ten days or half a month to learn this recipe.

Isn't she bored?
It's a good opportunity to give her something to do.

Moreover, several members of the corps have already taken twenty doses of the water ghost's heart essence, reaching the maximum value and can connect to the ground.

Twenty portions of ghoul heart essence, a total of five points of strength added.

The strength attribute of every legion member can definitely reach fifteen points.

Wait until he goes back.

You can then start improving their swordsmanship and seal levels without wasting time.

By the way, you can also ask Ms. Vera to experiment and see if the heart essence of the ghoul is similar to the heart essence of the water ghost...

Hidden side effects include replenishing physical strength, eliminating the side effects of mushroom soup, and increasing the success rate of the Green Grass Trial.

As for those apprentices who can take the Green Grass Trial...

If you can conduct the trial, do it as soon as possible.

Wait until he lifts the curse and goes back to undergo the trial together with the previous batch of legion members.

After thinking clearly, Ailin lowered his head slightly and placed the love bird against his forehead again.

He carefully considered his words, praised "Ms. Mary, the chief warlock of the Demon Hunting Corps" a few more times, and promised that "he would teach Arestor a lesson when he returned", and then he was about to let the love bird fly away.

At this time.

He suddenly noticed two wizards on the ground from the corner of his eye, and an idea flashed in his mind.

"Since these two wizards are neither suitable to be killed nor released, why not just imprison them in Kaer Morhen?"

The more Aelin thought about it, the more he thought this was a good idea.

Originally he was inclined to kill Thomas Moreau.

With the experience of the Cat School Witcher Inn attack, Ailin felt that after killing the wizard, some "memories of the wizard" should also drop.

Perhaps it could reveal memories related to the secondary mutation.

The secondary mutation is very important to him and the school.

At least in the game, Geralt before the second mutation and Geralt after the second mutation are completely different people in terms of strength.

It also gave rise to a powerful and unique school called "Thorn Wolf".

Ailin couldn't even imagine it.

At this time, the chief could easily deprive three large monsters of their attack capabilities within one or two minutes.

What if there is a second mutation?

How strong will he be?
One-on-one challenge against Ban Ade?

Or is it one man against a thousand?
And there are six equally powerful Demon Hunter Masters in Kaer Morhen.

If all of them have undergone secondary mutation.

Ailin even felt that even if it was true as Thomas Moreau said, Ban Ader would attack Kaer Morhen at the end of the year.

The Wolf School had no pressure in resisting.

Therefore, for the current Wolf School, obtaining a secondary mutation is simply the fastest way to improve the school's strength.

In fact, when he just came down the mountain, he had the idea of ​​going to Toussaint to find Thomas Moreau's secondary mutation laboratory.

But reality is not a game after all.

He was not sure whether there was such a person as Thomas Moreau in this world.

Even if there is.

Did he experiment with a method for secondary mutation?
but now.

We know that the wizard with glasses is Thomas Moreau, that he has a child from the Griffin School, and even the raw material for secondary mutations like the White Widow has appeared.

The secondary mutation method is almost a done deal.

The key now is how to get this experimental method from Thomas Moreau, who hates demon hunters. Killing people to open their memories is risky after all, so you can wait until there is no other way and take a gamble.

Why not ask Lady Vera to take them back to Kaer Morhen first and pool their wisdom? Who knows, maybe the Chief and the Sorceress can come up with some good ideas?
Thinking of this, Ailin no longer hesitated.

The mind inputs what happened today into the teaser bird.

The crystal clear bird blinked its obsidian eyes, rubbed its face against his, and then flew up into the sky.

"The next step is to wait..."

Ailin let out a long breath and looked away.

……

"Click~"

"Click~"

The crisp sound of bones echoed in the oak forest.

"I almost forgot that some warlocks with strange minds can cast spells with their feet even if their hands are tied up."

After dislocating the legs of Thomas Moreau and Macao, Arlin took some ropes and tied up the hands and feet of the two wizards.

Looks like a trussed boar from the winter revelry at Kaer Morhen.

"Papa~"

Brushing off the nonexistent dust on his hands, Ailin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.

Turning around to look at the campsite, he saw that Vesemir and the others were almost done with their work.

"Let's use up the essence and treasure chest now, and then go to the camp to help!"

Open the Demon Hunting Notes with your mind.

[Inventory: White Widow's Heart Essence*4, White Widow's Treasure Box*4, Experience Beads*136, Small Experience Beads*24...]

Ailin saw the 136 experience beads at a glance, which were equivalent to 13600 small experience beads and 13.6 experience points.

One hundred of them are from "Hunting Quest: Water Ghost II".

Ailin tends to add it to Flash, hoping that after stacking the levels up, it can be upgraded to an effect similar to that of a portal for long-distance teleportation.

It is convenient for him to take his troops to various places to kill monsters and level up.

However, since the curse of the evil god has not been removed, the added points will be useless.

In order to prevent any accidents along the way, he planned to wait until he reached Elland and removed the curse before upgrading.

in fact.

Ailin is now strong enough to hunt the Water Ghost King alone, so he doesn't need to use experience beads to upgrade when traveling.

[Ding! Do you want to use White Widow's Heart Extract? ]

As usual, use the essence first.

A thought.

A sticky, cool liquid like egg white flowed down the throat.

Not a few seconds passed.

The warm current slowly spread from the stomach, moistening Ailin's body like water soaking paper.

"Excuse!"

“It’s quite comfortable!”

Aelin narrowed his eyes.

Use your mind to open the character panel.

[Name: Ailin]

【Age: 14】

【Level: 45】

【生命值：100%，体力值370/370，魔力530/530】

[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 37, Constitution 37 (+2), Perception 35, Mysticism 53]

Physical fitness increased by two points...

The extent of attribute enhancement is actually within the normal range.

But after taking it, it was a different and gentle experience from other heart essences...

Ailin felt that even a witcher apprentice, or even an ordinary person, could bear it.

"It seems that in addition to the secondary mutation, we need to ask Thomas Moreau about the mutation and breeding methods of the White Widow."

Ailin seemed to be thinking about something, and controlled his mind to consume all the remaining three portions of White Widow's heart essence.

The comfortable warm current came in waves, sweeping away all the mental fatigue from days of traveling.

[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 37, Constitution 43 (+6), Perception 35, Mysticism 53]

"Whoo~"

After letting out a sigh of relief.

Take the amulet, pray, and think...

[Ding! White Widow's treasure chest*4 is opened]

Four rays of light flashed by, one white, two blue and one gold.

This time, however, there is no cutscene for the gold quality treasure chest.

There was only a picture of a lonely wizard wearing glasses surrounded by people.

Those people were wearing red robes that symbolized their identity and status.

[Obtain: Experience bead*1, White Widow's Heart Extract*2, White Widow's Mutation Formula*1]

Ok?
gold!

Mutation Recipe!!!

No need for Thomas Moreau, the formula for secondary mutation was directly prescribed!
Ailin's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he quickly opened the inventory.

【Name: White Widow Mutation Formula】

【Type: Subject knowledge】

[Requirements: Genetic Mutation LV8, Alchemy LV5]

【Function: Complete formula and breeding method for mutating giant centipedes into white widows. 】

[Note: The masterpiece that Thomas Moreau was most proud of in his life was the mutation of the giant centipede eggs into an insect-like creature that he personally named the White Widow. It was the crystallization of his lifelong wisdom.

He was also praised for this achievement by the Society of Talent and Art, the highest authority of the Warlock Brotherhood.

If Thomas Moreau had not refused and stagnated due to his crazy obsession.

He might become one of the next five most powerful people in the wizarding world.

He is not a good father, but he is definitely a top researcher. 】

Not a secondary mutation?

After reading the functions on the panel, Ailin was a little disappointed.

He thought he could get the formula for the secondary mutation without Thomas Moreau's cooperation.

Since there was still a chance to get it, he suppressed his disappointment and continued to look down.

The notes for the White Widow mutation formula were definitely the longest notes he had ever seen.

but.

It's just a mutation formula that transforms one monster into another, why is it rated so highly?

Not only did it surpass the Second Mutation, it became Thomas Moreau’s proudest work…

amount……

This is not surprising, after all, his original goal was to transform his child from a demon hunter into a normal person.

but.

This achievement will be recognized by the Society of Talent and Skill, the highest authority in the wizarding world.

It even enabled Thomas Moreau to compete for the most powerful positions in the northern wizarding world.

You can see its gold content.

So what's so special about White Widow's mutation formula?

Ailin felt as curious as if a kitten was tickling his heart.

of course……

Move your eyes upward.

Matching the extreme praise in the notes are the extremely high requirements for learning this recipe.

Alchemy LV5 is okay, it just takes some experience.

Gene mutation level 8, he had never seen a skill of this level before.

After a moment of silence, Ailin glanced at the unconscious Thomas Moreau, feeling a little confused.

“Is this so-called White Widow’s mutation formula really worth the price I pay to learn?”
