Chapter 312 How can a magic lady skillfully "attract" a handsome man?

"Mary!"

When Ailin looked up and saw the person coming, he was stunned for a moment, and then his heart skipped a beat.

He suddenly remembered that Mary had asked him to plead with Vera yesterday.

Looking at the girl rushing towards him aggressively, Ailin thought to himself:
"Isn't this because he was punished by Vera yesterday and is now looking for trouble with me?"

Damn!

You shouldn't have stayed here.

As soon as a person becomes negative, all kinds of troubles will come to him.

But after all, he didn't do what he promised, so Ailin suddenly thought and was about to apologize first:

"Mary, yesterday I told you..."

Mary rushed over with great momentum, but after stopping in front of Ailin, she held his hands excitedly and said:

"Alin, you are amazing!"

Ok?
marvelous?
Ailin was startled, and seeing that the joy on Mary's face did not seem to be sarcastic, he seemed to understand something and asked tentatively:
"what happened?"

"Hehehe~" Mary giggled happily, her two big eyes flickering as she looked at me, "Ms. Vera didn't punish me. What did you say to her yesterday? Why did you calm down so quickly?"

"The apprentices at the fortress gate shouted..."

Mary paused, then carefully moved to the middle of the stairwell to take a look, and then continued in a low voice:
"…Uh…When I heard the word 'evil old witch', Ms. Vera's face turned so dark that I almost thought she was going to cast a leech transformation spell on me and the apprentices…"

"Don't talk nonsense!" Ailin shook his head. "Why would Ms. Vera do this?"

Mary leaned back when she heard this, with an expression that said, "You are still too young and have never seen the world."

But I don't know if he is worried that the orange portal will suddenly appear next to him.

His big, bright eyes glanced around and at the upstairs and downstairs again, and even though he didn't notice anyone else, he didn't dare to elaborate on the topic.

Instead, she shook Ailin's hand and asked in a tender voice:
"Hurry up and tell me, Blue Death, Water Ghost Slayer, Honorable Knight Erin..."

"How did you plead with Ms. Vera for me yesterday?"

Listening to the kitten-like coquettish tone, smelling the faint orange fragrance lingering around, and feeling the soft and boneless touch on the back of his hand, Ailin shuddered and subconsciously took two steps back.

Terrible!

Mary, what's wrong with you today?

Giving the girl an incredulous look, Ailin wanted to ask her why she spoke like that today.

But looking at the reflection in Mary's eyes, the hazy and intoxicating scene of the May Day parade suddenly emerged in my mind, and my mouth suddenly became dry.

After thinking about it, I couldn't seem to ask anything...

I can’t ask either…

He took a deep breath, cleared his mind of distracting thoughts and carefully recalled yesterday, but he didn't feel that he played a big role in it, so he asked one more question:
"What did Ms. Vera say when she returned yesterday?"

Mary froze when she saw Ailin retreating. She seemed to feel a little embarrassed. She withdrew her hand and tidied her hair.
"Uh...nothing. Vera has been staying in her room since I got back last night."

"I was so worried that I didn't sleep well the whole night. Then this morning, Ms. Vera arranged for me to teach Yennefer as if nothing had happened, and left the alchemy room early."

"Where did you go?" Ailin asked curiously.

“How would I know…” Mary suddenly shook her head angrily, but still explained, “She left through the portal, but judging from the strength of the portal, it should be a short-distance portal in the Ancient Sea Fortress…”

"You've asked so many questions, but you haven't told me how you're begging for mercy?"

When Ailin heard this, he looked at the sparkling eyes in front of him and froze.

He had wanted to tell Mary about his original plan of persuasion yesterday, claim the credit, and then ask Mary to help teach the apprentice potions and skills.

but now.

Looking at Mary's big eyes, Ailin was silent for a while before he said, "This probably has nothing to do with me."

Then he slowly told the conversation he had with Ms. Vera yesterday about "aging", "death" and "parting"... no... it should be Vera's one-sided confession.

Then he watched the angry Mary. After her emotions slowly calmed down, for some reason she suddenly stared at him for a few seconds with a complicated look and sighed.

"…So Ms. Vera's change should not have much to do with me…" Ailin paused and asked sincerely, "She may not be in a good mood recently. Can you find a way to comfort her?"

After hearing this, Mary lowered her head and pondered for a long time before looking up and meeting Ailin's gaze.

"I'll find a way." She said seriously, her tone sounding a little lost, "But maybe you are the best person to comfort me."

Ailin did not deny Mary's words. He thought for a few seconds and said:

"I will probably be very busy in the future, but I will find a way to visit her often."

Just say it.

There was a sudden inexplicable silence between the two.

for a long time.

The sky was dark and it was almost completely dark inside the tower.

"Wow~"

Ailin seemed to wake up suddenly, and lit the candle beside him with an Igni sign.

Looking at the two shadows that seemed to be close yet distant, Mary suddenly asked:

"Is there anything I can do?"

Ailin was stunned for a few seconds, then said without hesitation:

"Continue to help me teach my apprentice bombs, sword oil, potions, and spells."

Mary nodded slightly.

There was another moment of silence.

"Then I...leave?" Ailin said.

"Yeah." Mary nodded again, "I'm going to the castle hall too. Yennefer wants to drink stew."

After hearing this, Ailin hesitated for a moment, then walked towards the top floor without asking any more questions.

But before he could take a few steps, he suddenly heard a long sigh behind him.

The demon hunter with his shoulders trembled.

But it was just a tremor.

Then, as if he had heard nothing, he disappeared alone in the candlelight and walked towards the deepest darkness.

……

"Crack~"

The wooden door closed.

Mary just lifted the small stool that was against the door.

Then I saw a small figure walking out from the inner room.

That was Yennefer.

But I don't know why.

Even in the alchemy room, she was still wearing the black cloth covering her face.

"Sister Mary, where did you go just now? I seemed to hear Ailin's voice." Yennefer asked.

"I wasn't going anywhere. I just happened to meet you." Mary shook her head and changed the subject awkwardly. "Yenni, have you picked out the etchings for today? What do you want to eat tonight?"

"Not even close." Yennefer glanced at the tightly closed wooden door, shook her head in disappointment, and took off the black cloth: "I can eat anything."

Mary nodded without asking any more questions.

After saying a few perfunctory words to Yennefer and asking her to go back to her room to continue studying, Mary placed the stool back in front of an alchemy table.

then.

Mary was in no hurry to prepare dinner for the two of them.

She sat down slowly, supporting her right arm on the alchemy table, and holding her chin with her fair right hand.

A beautifully decorated book was lying open next to his right elbow, which was slightly red from flexing and stretching.

The layout is clear and the format is elegant on the precious chiffon paper.

There were a lot of small words written in ink in the blank spaces, like notes taken while someone was studying carefully.

Like "acting like a spoiled child", "tone of voice", "angle of elevation"...

Looking closely, it seems as if he is taking notes seriously for professional books such as "Alchemy", "Monsterology" and "Ritual Studies".

"Crack~"

The book was slammed shut.

Under the flickering candlelight, the closed book revealed the golden title outlined in Aretuza witch cursive - "How Magical Ladies Can Cleverly "Attract" Handsome Men"

"It's of no use!" Mary cursed softly, pushed the book away, and looked out the window with her chin in her hand.

There is not a single star outside the window. Above the dark peaks, there is only a lonely full moon hanging in the distant sky.

Looking at the scenery, the girl's slender eyebrows furrowed more and more. She didn't know who she was thinking of or who she was angry with.

"It's really... useless." The girl murmured.

……

"Bang~"

After closing the door gently, Ailin did not rush to light the candles in the room.

The patio door was closed.

The huge room was silently embraced by thick darkness, which made Ailin feel inexplicably at ease.

I leaned against the wooden door without any thoughts, looking up and emptying my mind.

It took a while before Ailin exhaled a breath, opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind, and began the process he had planned for tonight.

[Name: Rage]

[Type: Beast Roar]

[Learning requirements: Introduction to the Way of Beast Roar]

[Passive effect: Maintain the power of "Beast Roar: Violence" on a daily basis.
1. Slowly increase Strength, Agility and Constitution attributes.

2. Increase the casting speed of "Beast Roar: Frenzy" by %.

3. Increase the roar intensity and range of "Beast Roar: Frenzy" by %. 】

……

Although it has only been two days, Ailin has already gained some understanding of this unique skill tree.

It is different from special skills and ordinary skills in more ways than just the fact that it cannot be upgraded.

Generally speaking.

No matter which skill you obtain or upgrade, it basically means "omniscience" once you obtain it, such as the Cat School two-handed sword.

As soon as he acquired this skill, even though Ailin had never received any relevant training before, he naturally knew all the techniques included in the Cat School Two-handed Sword LV1.

The physical quality will also be transformed accordingly the moment it is acquired or upgraded, and the power of the Cat School two-handed sword can be fully exerted.

Therefore, the moment a skill is acquired or upgraded, Ailin can use it directly on the spot, and there will be basically no sudden improvement in the unfamiliarity.

It seemed as if in that short moment, he had already practiced hard for countless hours.

But the Way of the Beast Roar is not like this.

Whether it was [Beast Roar: Rage] or [Beast Roar: Nature's Word], when he first acquired these two skills, all Ailin knew was how the power worked, which was...

How to release the rage and language of nature?

How to maintain the passive operation state of both?
I know nothing else, not even as much as shown on the panel that comes with the skill itself.

It's like taking a math class, but they only teach you theorems and formulas, don't solve a few examples, and just teach you some techniques and then ask you to do the homework.

When you encounter a problem, it doesn’t mean you can’t solve it.

But how to better use the skills of "theorems" and "formulas" requires you to think and accumulate on your own during the attempts.

Until now.

[Beast Roar: Furious] How to control time, expand the range of influence, and distinguish between friend and foe...

Ailin only had a vague idea of ​​it all.

Therefore, although the skill of the Way of Beast Roar is very powerful, in actual application, it is not as convenient as the skills that Ailin had obtained in the past that can be used immediately after being "upgraded".

But another way of thinking...

"Even the Demon Hunting Notes cannot be upgraded to improve proficiency. The essence of the Way of Beast Roar may not be on the same level as other skills."

"Therefore, its upper limit should be much higher than ordinary skills."

"I just don't know how much stronger he is, and how he will fare against the Wild Hunt..."

Ailin pondered for a while, then began to "practice" according to the power of [Beast Roar: Violence].

"Puff~"

"Puff~"

The heart beats rapidly with a unique rhythm.

Just like the pattern on the Way of Beast Roar skill tree, the origin of all beast roar power is in the heart.

In an instant.

Spots of golden light appeared in the blood, as if gold powder was mixed in the blood.

And when these "gold powders" appeared, the blood that was surging like a river suddenly became "heavy", as if it had suddenly turned into a column of mercury.

Followed by.

The demon hunter's unique mutated organ next to the heart was also affected and began to tremble.

The four kinds of magic power, blue, red, brown and green, mixed together. The moment they merged into the blood, the speed at which the "gold powder" surged up rapidly, mixed with magic power and quickly burst into the demon hunter's throat along some unknown veins in the body.

The huge amount of energy almost instantly rushed to the root of the tongue, a place similar to a magic nodule.

just now.

The demon hunter only needs to utter a unique syllable "Yir" to instantly detonate a huge amount of energy, bouncing away everything around it.

Followed by an "ulr".

The power that is almost like a god will instantly increase his strength by four times.

If you follow the last syllable.

The energy hidden under the root of the tongue will quickly spread outward with the beast roarer as the core.

These three syllables are called "animal language" by the one-eyed snake giants. It is a language similar to ancient language and is inherently powerful.

of course.

Some one-eyed snake giants also call it "the language of God", which is a gift from Shagdarzab, the god of roar, hunting and taming.

But Ayling was skeptical.

Because there is obviously no god named Shagdarzab in the demon hunter world.

But the power of gods is limited.

Because of the erosion of white frost, Meliteli could not even transmit her voice to her priests.

Moreover, even at its peak, His power could only be exerted in the territories occupied by humans, and only those humans believed in Him.

Ailin didn't think that a god who was somewhere unknown could transmit his divine power to the demon hunter world.

What's more.

According to the memory of the one-eyed snake giant, whether Shagdarzab still exists is still a question...

Therefore, the witcher felt that these syllables called "beast language" should have some origin.

It’s a pity that in the art of beast roar, it is only used as a tool. If you want to study it, you may have to create 10 to 20 beast roars.

of course.

What mattered to Arryn now was not the origin of these ancient wild syllables.

He had to suppress his urge to roar and control this huge amount of energy to form a circulation in his body.

"Humph~"

The heat was as if he was holding a mouthful of magma, and the witcher closed his lips and groaned.

for a long time.

Only then, sweating profusely, did he pry the ball of energy down an inch.

But it only moved down an inch.

All of a sudden.

A huge amount of heat radiated from the root of the tongue and spread to every part of the body.

Like the bright moon and the rising tide, it goes on forever.

Just when the demon hunter wanted to make further progress...

"Om~"

The wolf emblem on the chest hums.
