The influx of a large amount of information made Ailin's mind ring like the ringing of the school bell.

In addition, the [Demon Hunting] skill instantly clears the physical strength.

Ailin's eyes went dark and he fell directly onto the water ghost's body.

It took more than ten seconds before he stood up again.

The Demon Hunter Master's indifferent face was just one step away.

"This must be revenge!" Ailin thought.

The center of the training ground is only eight or nine meters away from the edge.

With the Demon Hunter Master's strength, he would definitely be able to catch up before Ailin fell on the corpse.

But Vesemir didn't.

"Alin...how did you do it?"

A surprised voice came from beside me.

Arryn and Vesemir both looked at Leto who was speaking.

Leto held the water ghost's head, looking puzzled.

As an apprentice, it was almost impossible to kill a water ghost with a steel sword.

The method of killing was actually beheading!
Skin, muscles, and bones, every layer of the water ghost's structure is protected by chaos magic.

Only by using a silver sword can these protections be weakened or even ignored.

Steel sword? Beheading?
This method is impossible for an apprentice, not even for him, a demon hunter with thirty years of experience.

The witchers who came to watch the fun also gathered around.

They were also shocked by Ailin's strength.

The headless corpse was still gushing blood.

Noticing the shocked looks on the faces of the people around him, Ailin finally realized what an incredible thing he had accomplished.

But at the same time.

He also fell into another dilemma - how to fool Leto's question?

Just as Ailin was thinking frantically and racking his brains to make up an excuse, a deep voice came to his rescue.

"Leto, there is a difference between a demon hunter and a witcher."

The witchers surrounding Ailin and the headless water ghost made way for the voice.

"It is recorded in the school's early experimental records that apprentices who mutate perfectly in the Green Grass Trial have a slight chance of awakening the Demon Hunter's Eye."

"The owner can see the direction of the chaotic magic in the monster's body."

After seeing the identity of the visitor clearly, the demon hunters bowed their heads and greeted him:

"chief."

"Good morning, Chief."

The man called the Chief nodded in response.

The man had long black hair and a grey complexion.

The rare gray cat's eyes seem to hide the snow that never melts in the Blue Mountains.

This is a man like Kaer Morhen.

Although it was a little strange, this was Ailin's first impression.

However, the eyes of a demon hunter that can see the direction of chaotic magic?

Is there such a setting in the game?

The chief nodded appreciatively to Aelin, then glanced at the hideous head in Leto's hand and said calmly:
"Leto, even if you pass the mountain test, you can't stop learning knowledge."

Laito's forehead was immediately covered with sweat, and he responded repeatedly, like a poor student being asked a question by the teacher:
"Okay, Chief, I'll go to the library after I finish teaching these apprentices."

Vesemir:?
Am I not the one teaching the apprentice? "It's alright, Leto. I'm the only one who can teach the apprentice. Go ahead." Vesemir said expressionlessly.

Leto: ?
Revenge, right!

Seeing the Chief looking over again, Laito quickly changed the subject:
"Vesemir, did you and Arlin have any agreement just now?"

As soon as he finished speaking, nearly twenty eyes were instantly focused on Vesemir's face.

The corners of Vesemir's mouth twitched unconsciously.

Seeing that the spearhead was pointed at him, Ailin quickly refused:

"No, no, it was just a joke."

Vesemir looked much better when he heard what Arryn said.

He unfastened the sword buckle on his armor, along with the scabbard, and slowly pulled out the silver sword "Elsa" from the sword bag. After looking at it reluctantly for a few times, he handed it to Ailin with his backhand, then turned his head and said to the apprentices.

"Apprentices, let me teach you one more lesson."

"A demon hunter of the Wolf School, whose promise is more important than his life."

The sonorous and powerful voice echoed in the gray castle, sounding particularly firm.

"That's a pretty cool statement!" Arryn thought. "It would be even more convincing if the hand that handed over the sword didn't tremble."

Now it was the witcher apprentice's turn to be in a dilemma.

"Take it, apprentice."

The chief's deep voice sounded, and everyone was startled.

The witcher's promise is indeed more important than his life, but enough Oren are also more important than the witcher's life.

Hunting monsters is actually a way of making money with your life.

What's more, this is 17325 orens.

So they just made a fuss before Ailin killed the water ghost.

Leto never speaks without thinking, and he must be regretting it now.

But why would the Chief say such a thing?
Seeing that Arlin did not move, the Chief did not take it seriously and continued to say to Vesemir:
"Vesemir, after the mountain trial, you will take Arlin with you to accept the commission."

"Within five years, make him a silver sword similar to this one in exchange for your own sword, okay?"

Vesemir had no objection.

To forge a weapon that suits you, it is not enough to just have money.

Only by searching for materials, cooperating with craftsmen, and even a little luck when forging can you get a weapon that satisfies you.

For others, "Elsa" might be worth 17325 orens.

But for him, it is far more than that.

not to mention,
Commitment is more important than life.

He had been planning to give the sword to Arlin.

"Of course," Vesemir nodded and said to Arryn, "Take it."

Seeing this, Ailin had no choice but to take over "Elsa".

The sheathed silver sword was almost as tall as he was.

Arryn was in front of Vesemir, holding her in his arms carefully, so that the scabbard would not scrape the ground.

Then, at Vesemir's signal, he followed everyone out of the training ground.

At the fence outside the training ground.

At some point, Leto brought over several other cages covered with black cloth.

"Very good, apprentices, let's continue with our practical lessons."

"Who's coming next?"

No one responded.

Vesemir lowered his head and looked at the three apprentices in surprise. He found that they were all reluctant to come forward, so he asked:
"what happened?"

After hesitating for a long time, the sleepy Hughes timidly poked his head out, took a longing look at "Elsa" in Arlin's arms, and asked:
"If we win, can we get the silver sword too?"

The other two little heads also looked at Vesemir expectantly.

Vesemir:?
