Chapter 27 Prophecy (Happy New Year!!!)

There is an unconcealable pride hidden in the humble tone.

Perhaps the sorceress had no intention of hiding it.

The demon hunter apprentice was stunned for a moment after hearing this, and then fell silent.

If what the sorceress said is true, then the value of this mirage pearl is...

"I wonder why I gave you such a valuable thing?"

A gentle female voice interrupted his confusion.

Ailin stared at the sorceress, his heart moving slightly.

At this moment, he suddenly had a premonition.

The sorceress's next words would drag him into some unfathomable wave.

Vera was also gazing at the pair of azure cat eyes in a trance, as if she wanted to hide the gem-like depth and purity in the deepest and safest place in her heart.

The sorceress said, "You must know that the time of sword and axe is near. It is the age of the winter wolf and snow..."

This is the prophecy of the prophetess Ethlin.

As one of the few prophecies in "The Witcher", Ailin was deeply impressed by it.

This prophecy states that only the heir of the Ancient Blood can save the world from the White Frost.

but.

What does this have to do with Arryn? Is he the heir of the Ancient Blood?
Ailin continued to listen while thinking.

"The world will die in the frost and be reborn in the new sun."

"Ess'tuath esse! This is inevitable! Watch for the signs!"

"If you want to know what the sign is..."

"First... Filius Miraculi - the miracle child - was born in a bitter cold land..."

Ailin, who was originally calm, suddenly had his pupils contracted when he heard the sorceress chant the last sentence.

Different from the original?
And the miracle child, isn’t that me?

Ailin quickly opened the character panel and took a look.

[Name: Ailin]

【Age: 13】

[Title: Child of Miracle]

It was indeed him.

He had always thought that "Miracle Child" was just a useless title.

The sorceress's chanting did not stop because of Ailin's thoughts.

"Death and rebirth, inhuman people bring blood and fire..."

……

At some point, the cold and lofty female voice disappeared.

The witcher apprentice was also silent for a long time.

The entire alchemy room was silent.

However, at this moment, Ailin's heart was not as calm as it seemed.

"Miracle Child" saves the world?
What about the Ancient Blood?
Where did the ancient blood go?

Chaos! Everything is a mess!

Ailin was shocked not only because it was the first time he heard about the Child of Miracles from someone else.

Most importantly, there is no Ancient Blood in this prophecy.

Yesterday at noon, when he learned that witchers only knew how to make witcher potions, Ailin thought he had traveled to the world of a witcher novel.

But if there is no Ancient Blood...

So is the future information he has still valid?
"So you know?" Vera asked.

"What?" Ailin was stunned for a moment.

"The Child of Miracles will save the world from the White Frost." The sorceress said lightly, "You have a great responsibility. This Mirage Pearl is just a small advance investment for the Child of Miracles."

Good guy!
This is a really generous investment. They gave him a rare Mirage Pearl at the very beginning. What benefits can they use to bind him in the future?
The sorceress is not a qualified capitalist, but more like a gambler.

Just go all in!
"Are you so sure... that I am the child of miracles?" The witcher apprentice was so surprised that he didn't even use honorifics.

The sorceress was silent for a moment after hearing this.

Then he murmured in a complex tone that was difficult for others to understand:

"You are a child of miracles, you must be a child of miracles, you have to be a child of miracles!"

"otherwise……"

"Otherwise what?"

"It's nothing. You are the child of miracle." Vera shook her head in disappointment, then said with a complicated expression, "Don't worry. Even if you are not, I will not take the Mirage Pearl back."

After a moment of silence, Vera rubbed her temple as if she had a headache and said:

"It's nothing, you can leave first."

Ailin looked at the sorceress who suddenly lost interest in surprise.

Apparently, fickleness was not just the exclusive property of women in the previous life. But the sorceress had already ordered him to leave, so Ailin didn't dare to ask any more questions.

After all, he is only the savior of the future, not the present.

……

After Ailin left the alchemy room, Vera leaned against the wall and stood quietly for a long time.

"Snapped"

A snap of the fingers.

The door to the inner room of the alchemy room was opened.

"Come out, Ailin is gone." The sorceress suppressed her lonely mood.

A man carrying two swords walked out of the inner room, his arms, shoulders and hair covered with dust.

"The secret passage in Kaer Morhen is really difficult to navigate. If I had known... Hmm? What happened to Mary?"

"Falling asleep." Vera said casually.

Soi was speechless.

How brave must I be to sleep like this in front of you.

He looked at Mary, who was lying on the ground in an awkward position, opened his mouth, and could not help but suggest:

"Does it have to be this way? Can't you find a reason to get Mary out of the way?"

Vera said indifferently: "This is my apprentice!"

Soi understood the sorceress's subtext, sighed, lifted Mary's collar, and placed her on the alchemy table.

Vera crossed her arms and watched without saying anything.

"So, how's the lab log going?"

Seeing that Vera was not in a good mood, Soi got straight to the point.

"It's being done."

"So it hasn't been done yet." Soi nodded, looking like he knew the sorceress very well.

"I just arrived in Kaer Morhen, and you've already caused me trouble." Vera's anger instantly rose when she heard Soi's tone. "You should know that I'm not here to work for you!"

The witcher was forced to take two steps back due to the pressure from the sorceress.

He scratched his head helplessly, unable to figure out how he had offended Vera again.

"I'm sorry, I just said it casually at the time, I didn't expect it to have such a big impact."

"It's only the second day, and many demon hunters have started asking me about the Demon Hunter's Eye."

"There are even a few who haven't read a book in a hundred years, and they all ask me about the date of the experimental records..."

Seeing that Vera's expression had not thawed, Soi paused and continued:

"Hey... who made our child so outstanding! If he could be like a normal apprentice, there wouldn't be so many troubles..."

"That's my child!" The sorceress's tone was still aggressive, but much softer than before.

The witcher shrugged and thought, without me, how can you give birth to a child by yourself?

"Why not? Who do you think I am?"

Apparently, Soi, the chief of the Wolf School, does not have the privilege of not having his mind read.

Soi remained silent and did not argue with the sorceress.

He was a little hard to understand.

We are all so old, why are we still like kids...

"Snapped"

A snap of the fingers.

The roaring wolf head badge instantly jumped out of the collar, vibrating wildly and making a buzzing sound.

Suoyi instinctively bent his thumb and index finger slightly and drew a triangle in front of him.

In the blink of an eye, the Quinn shield, which had almost condensed into substance, was tightly attached to the dark red cotton armor.

Vesemir's Quen Sign is already strong enough.

But whether in terms of casting speed or seal strength, Chief Soi's Quinn Seal is much higher than Vesemir's.

It’s a pity that these advantages cannot prevent the demon hunter from being blown away by telekinesis.

The sorceress's telekinesis didn't even trigger Quinn's automatic defense, and she threw the witcher back into the secret passage like throwing away garbage.

"boom!"

Suddenly.

The secret passage, which had never been cleaned since its construction, was instantly covered in dust.

However, all the dust was miraculously blocked in the secret passage.

After a moment, Soi walked back to the alchemy room, and every part of his body was covered in gray.

After dusting himself off, the demon hunter suddenly heard the sorceress say in a cold voice:
"Alin knows the prophecy..."
