Chapter 30: Little Celebrity in Ancient Sea Fortress (Thanks to the monthly ticket from book friend "Leng Leng Daguanren")

"I'm not sure if I can get back before the Mountain Trial. If you want me to refine it, this may be my last chance."

Vera's tone was sincere.

But Ailin had no choice but to refuse again:

"I'm sorry, Ms. Vera."

"I still want to make it myself."

The sorceress's eyes dimmed for a moment, but she then warned seriously:
"Well... my collection of books will be open to you..."

"If you have any questions or need any materials, you can ask Mary directly. She will help you solve it..."

……

The sorceress talked a lot.

As Ailin listened, he suddenly felt that he was Vera's apprentice.

A certain "genuine" apprentice was so jealous that his cheeks turned red as he stared at Ailin's face.

The burning jealousy almost followed her gaze and set Aelin's hair on fire.

About half an hour later, the sorceress gradually stopped.

"…That's about all. You can go now."

Ailin nodded and thanked her sincerely, "Ms. Vera, thank you."

"No need to thank me," Vera shook her head and said seriously, "You just need to tell me... you will definitely pass the mountain trial safely, right?"

The demon hunter apprentice nodded vigorously and said in a sonorous and powerful voice:

"Don't worry, Ms. Vera. I will definitely pass the mountain test and won't let your investment go to waste."

“Investment?”

The sorceress laughed twice for no apparent reason:
"A demon hunter of the Wolf School, whose promise is more important than his life."

"Alin, I remember your promise."

……

After coming out of the alchemy room and going down two more steps, the witcher apprentice stopped.

He opened the character panel with his mind.

【Evaluation: Dish! 】

During these seven days, Ailin's attributes increased by almost 24 points, and he was completely different from the demon hunter apprentice a few days ago.

It is no exaggeration to say that the current Ailin can beat 10 of him when he first came into this world.

Unfortunately, the effect of the heart essence fluid gradually faded as Ailin's attributes improved.

When the strength attribute reaches 9 points, 10 essence liquids can only increase it by 0.2. After the physique reaches points, it will hardly be improved by the essence liquid.

Of course this is taken for granted.

It’s a pity that Ailin’s dream of becoming a god by slaughtering millions of water ghosts was shattered.

Therefore, Ailin did not touch the remaining essence, and he could use it as a physical strength recovery potion in the future.

In terms of skills, Ailin only had two signs left to learn.

Because fire attacks have special effects on water ghosts, he also specially upgraded the Igoni Fire Seal to level two.

The two-way improvement of attributes and skills has greatly improved Ailin's efficiency in hunting water ghosts.

It's a pity that his character level has reached level eight as his skills have improved. He hasn't seen any evaluation of killing an enemy above his level for a long time.

In addition, most of the hunting time is spent on traveling and searching for traces. Therefore, although the hunting efficiency has increased, the small experience beads that can be obtained every day have not increased explosively.

Currently.

Ailin's average daily hunting number has remained at 25 for two or three days.

It was fine before today, as Vera's alchemy class was holding me back, so these few water ghosts every day were not a big deal.

But tomorrow it will be Mary...

To be honest, when it comes to alchemy, Ailin has little confidence in Mary, who has only been a sorceress for two years.

It’s just not clear now how big the gap is between her class and Vera’s.

"There are still more than 5,000 small experience beads missing. If I don't change my hunting method, I won't be able to get them all." After pondering for a moment, Ailin made up his mind.

He has to change.

Since the problem lies in the efficiency of hunting, all we need to do is increase the efficiency.

After thinking for a while, Ailin stood up and walked towards the agreed place.

As soon as he left the tower, Arryn saw a witcher greeting Vesemir.

"Vesemir, aren't you going to the banquet today?"

"No, I have something to do later. You guys go first, I'll come over later." The demon hunter master patted the man's shoulder.

The man shrugged, muttered something, and left.

Arryn stayed in the tower's shadow for a few more seconds before moving toward Vesemir.

When the witcher master saw his apprentice coming, he nodded and turned to walk out of the castle.

"Master Vesemir, if you have something to do, I can go hunting by myself." Standing side by side with Vesemir, Arlin suggested after thinking for a moment.

Vesemir didn't look back and said casually:

"No, it's just a drink. It's the same if we go at night."

Actually, they are different.

Ailin was well aware of this.

In a year, the only chance for the demon hunters to get together is the two winter months.

By the time of the following year, you may not be able to see the same people who were full of energy this year.

after all.

A demon hunter is both a warrior and a hunter.

This is an extremely dangerous profession that relies on fighting and hunting for a living.

A demon hunter may pay the price of his life due to inaccurate intelligence, gangsterism, or even simply because of human hatred towards aliens.

It is because the people you meet this year may not be seen again next year.

That’s why the castle hall of the Ancient Sea Fortress would have a bonfire that would never stop burning all night, and there would be endless wine and delicacies...

Compared to expensive charcoal, drinks and delicious food, the time spent with your companions is the most precious.

Every moment of this time cannot be wasted.

So, it's different.

Even if Arryn had selfish motives and wanted Vesemir to let him hunt alone, he was now too moved to say anything to persuade him.

"Vesemir, are you going to take our little assassin out hunting again?"

Ailin looked in the direction of the voice and saw a witcher he was not familiar with.

"His name is Dante, and he's also a respected master demon hunter," Vesemir introduced.

Ailin nodded and greeted the demon hunter opposite him as usual.

For some reason unknown to Aelin, he seemed to be quite famous among the returning witchers.

When walking on the road, from time to time, unfamiliar demon hunters would greet him.

The names ranged from "Aren't you the apprentice of Oren", "Lucky apprentice", "Elsa's second person"...

After the recent news of hunting water ghosts, there are "Water Ghost Killer", "Little Butcher of Kaer Morhen", etc.

Ailin had also asked Vesemir about this matter a few days ago.

However, the Demon Hunter Master's face just darkened, and then he sighed and shook his head as if he remembered something, and finally did not give a reply.

His expression changed strangely.

Ailin therefore did not ask any further questions. After all, this matter was of no importance to him.
