Chapter 237 Set a small goal first!

After using the essence of the great griffin's heart with your mind.

The cold liquid entered the throat and was absorbed the moment it passed through the esophagus.

The cool touch instantly spreads from the throat to the whole body.

And then the next second.

Ailin flew up!

"No, it can't be considered flying..."

Ailin closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes that occurred as the heart essence seeped into his body.

"This... is more like floating. Something is offsetting the gravity of my body..."

But before he could feel it any further, he felt an increasingly heavy pressure on the soles of his feet.

The essence of the griffin's heart was completely absorbed by his body, and he fell to the ground.

"If only we had more time..."

Ailin sighed softly, feeling lost.

He felt like he seemed to have understood something, but it was still a little bit short of taking shape.

"I must find the whereabouts of the great griffin when I get a chance." Ailin thought.

then.

He began to feel changes in his body.

As soon as there was movement.

"Crackle~Crackle~Crackle~"

The bones crackled as the limbs moved, and every cell in the body felt more comfortable than ever before.

Even the pores are breathing.

Not only that.

The tiredness from a hard day's work is gone, and my brain is clearer than ever.

Candlelight flickered.

Dust dances in the air.

In the garden, spring insects are turning over the soil and squirrels are grinding their teeth in their sleep.

The main attribute enhanced by the essence of the great griffin's heart must be perception!

Ailin understood.

Open the Demon Hunting Notes with your mind.

[Name: Ailin]

【Age: 14】

[Title: Child of Miracle]

【Level: 45】

【生命值：100%，体力值550/550，魔力570/570】

【属性：力量48（+6），敏捷42（+5），体质55（+8），感知47（+12），神秘57（+4）】

【亲和：水11（魔源·水1%）、地5，风5（+5），空间2】

Excuse!
really!

Perception directly increased by 12 points, which was the attribute that increased the most.

The total attributes even increased by 35 points!
What surprised Ailin even more was the friendliness.

As soon as the newly added wind attribute affinity appeared in the list, it directly surpassed the space attribute affinity and was ranked on par with the earth attribute affinity.

just now.

The four basic elements of chaos magic are earth, fire, wind and water, and he only lacks affinity with fire.

But to be honest, fire is the most violent and difficult to control among the chaotic elements.

Therefore, monsters with fire attributes are the rarest in the world.

It might be difficult to increase your affinity with fire...

But the total affinity is 23 points...

Close your eyes and link the wolf emblem.

Looking inside, Ailin's bones were now glowing with colorful magical light.

From time to time, light blue spots would flow through the muscles, blending with the strands of red flesh.

"I'm really becoming more and more like a monster!"

Ailin opened his eyes and sighed.

……

early morning.

Ailin woke up from his meditation accompanied by the melodious sound of birds singing.

"Squeak~"

At the same time that Ailin opened the door of his room, Vesemir's door was also opened.

This is not an accident, it is the result of training.

The Demon Hunter's meditation can be timed, and with daily application, the accuracy will increase.

Like a clock.

of course.

In this magical Middle Ages where there is no need to go to work, this is generally of no use to demon hunters.

Vesemir quietly closed the door, looked at Arlin with satisfaction, and suddenly froze.

He walked closer with a slightly frown and asked hesitantly:

"Alin...you...have you changed at all?"

"I feel like you seem... a little different..."

A demon hunter's perception is acute.

Whether it was the smell, the shape, or the vague, indescribable aura, everything was different from yesterday.

Aelin has become stronger.

Vesemir trusted his intuition, but reason told him that such a drastic change overnight was impossible.

Ailin smiled and said:
"After the battle with the Great Griffin, I have some insights..."

What kind of perception can be so strong?

Vesemir was skeptical.

But this is a good thing. Seeing that Arryn didn't want to explain, Vesemir chose to respect his privacy.

He glanced at the closed door by the window and changed the subject:
"Is Mary still awake?"

"No," Ailin said as he walked towards the bathroom with his change of clothes. "I was preparing the potion yesterday and went to bed late..."

Vesemir nodded when he heard this:
"Then let her sleep a little longer, and we'll set off when she wakes up."

"Royce and Yennefer are still sleeping..."

After a pause, Vesemir asked curiously:

"Alin, do you really think Yennefer has the talent of a warlock?"

Ailin just opened the bathroom door and tilted his head and said:

"She should have, and I have a feeling that her talent might not be bad."

"That's a lot of money..."

Vesemir sighed, then waved his hand when he saw Aelin still standing at the bathroom door.
"Okay, go take a shower."

Ailin nodded slightly and was about to close the door when he suddenly thought of something.

With a thought, he gave Vesemir an appraisal.

[Name: Vesemir]

【属性：力量53（+7），敏捷57，体质69（+4），感知70，神秘42（+1）】

Vesemir indeed.

Compared to when Ailin first crossed over.

In addition to the seven points of strength and four points of constitution increased by the water ghost's heart essence and the ghoul's heart essence, the mysterious attribute actually grew a little in less than half a year.

but.

Although now, except for the mystical attribute, his strength, agility, physique and perception are all inferior to Vesemir.

But the gap is not as big as it was at the beginning.

Especially strength. If it weren't for the heart essence of water ghosts and ghouls, Ailin's strength attribute would have surpassed Vesemir.

"Let's set a small goal first, to surpass Vesemir in attributes!"

The corners of Ailin's mouth curled up slightly, and after glancing at Vesemir's back, he closed the bathroom door.

Three hours later.

The entrance of the hotel.

"Master Vesemir, Master Arlin, are you... leaving now?"

The innkeeper, Yakubu, looked at the three people who were leading the horses out of the reins in surprise, and asked with some concern:
"Is there something that our store is not doing well?"

“We are very satisfied with this place,” Vesemir smiled and shook his head. “I haven’t stayed in such a comfortable hotel in a long time. However, we still have important things to do. We can’t stay here and enjoy it any longer.”

Yakubu's face turned pale and he was about to speak.

At this time.

"Da da da~" Trick rode over from not far away.

"Master Arlin, Master Vesemir, and Lady Margarita, are you ready to go?"

Trick dismounted and looked at Ailin with a smile.

He looked obviously much more relaxed than yesterday; perhaps the green sigh had taken effect.

Because Trick was looking at Arryn, Vesemir didn't rush to reply.

Ailin nodded and said:
"Yes, we are ready to leave Wengerburg now!"

"Then let me take you there!" said Trick.

Then, without waiting for Ailin and the others to refuse, he led the way towards the city gate.

Vesemir and Arryn looked at each other, nodded to Jakub, and followed him.

Yakubu smiled gently and saw them off.

However, as the figures of the few people gradually faded away, his brows slightly furrowed, and he murmured:

"Looking at their behavior yesterday, it didn't seem like there was anything important going on..."

"Why are you in such a hurry today?"

……

I didn't pay much attention to it when I first entered Wengerberg yesterday.

While riding his horse and strolling on the street today, Ailin could clearly feel that there were many more vigilant gazes coming from him along the way.

The focus of these eyes is basically on the two swords behind him.

Also.

There seemed to be a lot more guards patrolling the streets than yesterday.

And from time to time, some mercenaries with weapons would be caught on the street, and many people were taken away without knowing why.

There were even many city guards who wanted to interrogate Arryn and Vesemir when they saw them...

But these soldiers, who were wearing simple leather armor and holding spears, hurriedly saluted when they saw Trick wearing the majestic armor inlaid with gold.

Then ignored them.

Seeing that Aylin and Vesemir looked solemn, Trick explained in a low voice:
"Last night, the king ordered the entire city to be under martial law."

"He also secretly ordered the city guards to find excuses to imprison all the mercenaries and warriors wandering the streets with weapons..."

"Of course, those without background..."

"When the war starts, they will fight for Aedirn on the front lines of the battlefield!"

“So…” Vesemir joked, “We are those mercenary warriors with backgrounds?”

"No!" Trick smiled, looked at Ailin gratefully, and said, "You are my friends, the most cherished friends of the Quinn family."

Trick's tone was sincere, so serious that even Vesemir, who had just made a joke, felt a little embarrassed.

"Is your father better?"

Arryn helped Vesemir change the subject.

Trick nodded vigorously and said with a smile:
“As expected of a bloody red fox, Old Quinn drank the green sigh and coughed up a pool of blood, and his originally pale face immediately turned rosy.”

"You can even do morning exercises with me this morning..."

"That's good!" Ailin nodded.

He is still very willing to do things like helping others to achieve their goals.

What's more, he still had two bottles of Verdant Sigh, and Trick not only bought them at a high price, but also owed Ailin a big favor.

Although no one asked about Trick's family background.

But he was able to sit on the position of vice-captain of the Royal Knights, so his family must be at least an earl, and he has a close relationship with the king, so he knows a lot of inside information.

Look now, isn’t it being used?

of course.

As witcher masters of Aelin and Vesemir, even if they were caught by the city guards, they would not be forced into the battlefield like those mercenary warriors without any background.

Even ordinary demon hunters are not treated like this.

Unless the king of Aedirn is mad and cares nothing for the royal family or his own honor.

but.

even so.

With Trick leading the way, Ailin and his group were able to avoid a lot of trouble.

and.

Although Aedirn will not force you to go to the battlefield, given the current situation, they probably won't let them leave Vengerberg easily.

At this time.

Passing by a pub.

Another drunken mercenary was caught.

"But, do you really dare to use these soldiers who were captured by the army?"

Mary asked curiously.

Trick was silent for a few seconds and sighed:
"There's nothing we can do about it."

"The current king has been in office for five years, and he has been fighting against the gluttonous king of Kaedwen for five years..."

"Although the intensity is not great, Aedirn is a small area, and its population cannot catch up with Kaedwen..."

"so……"

"Even though we know this is risky, we still have to do it..."

"Have you ever thought about not starting a war?" Vesemir interjected casually.

"Impossible!" Trick's eyes were filled with anger:

"The previous king died on the battlefield due to a stray arrow."

"My father was injured by Kaedwen. If it weren't for Master Arryn, he would be neither alive nor dead now."

"My two brothers are not even as good as my father..."

"They all died on the battlefield."

"And it's not just the king and our family..."

"Because of Haxor, countless descendants of Aedirn nobles died..."

"Such hatred can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!"

Vesemi heard the anger in Trick's words.

It seemed as if I could also hear the horn sounding from the entire city of Vengerburg...

So he said nothing more.

he knows……

No one can stop this war.

……

Ride the horse to the city gate.

There was already a long queue here, with merchants with a keen sense of smell, farmers traveling to and from the city to sell crops, and even some beautifully decorated carriages with family crests...

The soldiers at the city gates conducted extremely strict inspections, and nobles with lower titles were not allowed to pass.

but.

Thanks to Trick's negotiation, Vesemir and his group were released in the envious eyes of everyone without having to wait for a few minutes.

Next.

Despite Ailin's refusal, Trick continued to escort the group to the outskirts of the city, and only stopped when they could only vaguely see the towering Vengerberg.

"I'll take you there, Master Ailin!"

Trick glanced at the sparsely populated avenue and nodded to Arryn, Vesemir, and Mary.

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we would have been thrown into prison before we even reached the gate of Wengerburg!"

Ailin said politely.

Trick smiled, pointed to the shield-shaped family emblem on his chest with irises and a sword, and said solemnly:
"Loyalty is the motto of the Quinn family, whether to the master or to friends..."

"May Cliff guide your path."

Say it.

Trick pulled the reins and was about to ride towards Wengerburg.

"and many more!"

Trick turned around and asked curiously:
"What's wrong, Master Ailin, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Ding Ding Ding ~"

Amid the sound of bottles clinking, Ailin took out five bottles of water ghost heart essence from the saddle bag and gave them to Trick.

"This is for you. Drinking it can improve your physique and strength..."

"at last……"

"Stay alive, Trick!"

Trick was stunned for a moment, then instinctively took the blue potion.

After two seconds, he nodded vigorously:

"War can't kill me, Master Arryn!"

"Next time we meet, I will definitely take you to taste the wine brewed in our family vineyard..."

"That's no worse than Toussaint's wine!"
