In the smoke and dust, the demon hunter was stunned by the clanging mechanical sounds and the translucent light curtain that appeared in front of him.

next second.

The [Demon Hunting] state automatically dissipates because the locked target is dead.

The intense tingling sensation in his limbs woke the demon hunter up suddenly and he cancelled "Beast Roar: Berserk".

Suddenly.

A feeling of weakness permeates the body and mind.

However, the witcher ignored the emptiness and weakness that made his limbs limp, and stared at his hands in a daze.

"Is this...solved?"

The level was as high as 69. Except for agility, the other four attributes were question marks when it was identified. Hunting a large monster, the Metal Troll, was as easy as crushing an ant. The monster—the Troll Demon Spirit—could not even survive the ultimate move of [Demon Hunter]...

A sword.

A sword...

One sword!
With just one sword strike, he killed a giant ghost-like monster.

The smoke and dust gradually dissipated, revealing a large fan-shaped pit on the ground.

From the direction pointed by the tip of the hanging Balmer sword, it extends all the way to the stone wall not far away.

The deepest part of the pit is at least one meter deep.

You have to know that this is a cave in the Blue Mountains. Both the ground and the surrounding walls are made of the hardest rock, not soft soil.

Ailin couldn't believe that these were the traces of battle caused by him.

He had only seen this level of terrain destruction in the hot-blooded comics of his previous life.

“Hoo—ah—”

A panicked roar came from the side.

The witcher looked in the direction of the sound.

"dong dong dong~"

The metal troll, who had walked into a dead end in panic, ran out of the dark passage, but was stunned at the entrance of the passage which was on slightly higher ground because of the sudden disappearance of the troll demon spirit.

There was still some fear in those blank eyes.

The four metal trolls looked at each other, then swept their eyes across the cave. After the smoke and dust caused by the fierce battle had completely dissipated, they gathered on the demon hunter in the center.

Then move down slowly.

Following the ancient sword of Balmer, it stopped at a hole that had just appeared on the ground, and at an emerald in it that was as big as a metal troll's finger.

In the dim light of Meliteli's cloaking circle, the emerald glowed a striking green.

This is the only trace that proves that giant demons and monsters have been to this world.

After ghost-type monsters are destroyed, they will basically leave behind gem dust. The ones left by giant demons and monsters are just a little bigger.

of course.

It is smaller than the one left by the one-eyed ghost.

In addition, there was also a small pile of resentment residue that inevitably appeared when Ailin hunted ghost monsters and was spread under the emerald.

The metal troll apparently recognized the origin of the emerald.

Doudou looked at the little man who suddenly appeared in front of the pit with doubt and uncertainty. Even though the witcher blocked their way to the exit, they did not dare to move forward for a long time.

Seems to be waiting and watching.

The witcher looked away.

He is very weak now.

The combined effect of the Giant Ghoul Decoction, Blizzard Potion, and "Beast Roar: Berserk" is inexplicably good, even a little outrageous, and the weakness it brings is also surprisingly severe.

The whole body was exhausted, as if I had completed a triathlon with an unhealthy body in my previous life.

The scenery before him was shaking and doubled, and he was able to stand normally only because of the tip of Balmo's sword supporting the ground.

However, under the surveillance of four metal trolls, he pretended to be casual and drank a bottle of white honey first to remove the toxins from the decoction and potion.

He used another portion of the water ghost's heart essence and recovered a little strength. Then he bent down to pick up the emerald and slowly bottled the remaining resentment.

Don't show your weakness in front of wild beasts, or even monsters.

Although he just saved the lives of these trolls, who knows what the temperament of the metal trolls is like...

of course.

Ailin was not trying to remain calm because he was worried about his own safety.

A week of practicing the art of beast roar was not completely ineffective.

The demon hunter who insisted on maintaining "Beast Roar: Fury" for three hours every day could feel that his body was recovering at nearly twice the speed after the decisive battle with Arestor a week ago.

Moreover, there are flashes and portals, and I am familiar with the terrain of the Old Spearhead Cave, so if I want to leave, it will only take a blink of an eye.

But he felt that he could get more.

One of the seven summoned metal trolls died, and the other two found the correct passage to leave the cave.

The Blue Mountains are so large that it may not be easy to find a few more trolls that have escaped. We can only ask the rocks to help search for them afterwards.

If you miss these four lost metal trolls this time, you may not know when you can see them again.

"Ding Dong~"

Put the emerald and resentment residue back into the reagent bag.

now.

The four metal trolls were still at the junction of the dead end and the rock chamber, motionless like static humanoid metal blocks.

Only his small eyes were spinning in his deep eye sockets, and he would carefully glance at the witcher from time to time and exchange glances with him.

He looks silly, yet timid and cunning.

"Da~"

The demon hunter turned to face the metal troll and took a step towards death.

The metal troll instinctively took a step back.

"Da~"

The Demon Hunter goes one step further.

The metal troll retreated again.

Big Eyes looked around in panic, as if looking for a way to pass through.

The demon hunter was relieved by the trolls' weak desire to attack.

He stopped and stopped pressing.

Preventing the metal troll from being forced into a desperate situation would disrupt the plan.

Followed by.

The little bit of golden energy that had just recovered in the blood reappeared.

The mutated organ next to the heart swells with magical power.

However, unlike "Beast Roar: Fury" where four elements surged out at the same time, this time only the brown earth element appeared, matching the golden energy of the Way of Roar.

Subsequently.

The golden-brown energy flow formed by the light spots gently merges into the energy node of the Roaring Path under the root of the tongue.

The language of the wild.

The second skill that Ailin acquired in the Way of Roar was to sense the thoughts of low-intelligence creatures and convey simple instructions.

In addition, in his attempts over the past few days, he discovered that this skill could also significantly reduce the target's hostility and desire to escape.

Three days ago, the witcher even used the Word of the Wild to rob two brown bears that had just eaten.

This is also the reason why he chose to stay and subdue the metal troll even in his weak state.

"Fir..." The simple and elegant syllables echoed in the silent cave.

The golden-brown ripples that only the demon hunter could see spread rapidly towards the direction of the metal troll like rippling river water.

however.

Just as Ailin was organizing his words and emotions to persuade the troll.

“Roar~Roar~Roar~”

The troll who was the second closest to the demon hunter suddenly roared in panic one second after the voice of the wild sounded.

Then he leaned back suddenly.

"Boom~"

The troll slammed heavily to the ground, stirring up a cloud of dust.

After the gray dust quickly dissipated, its yellowish belly with a metallic luster was revealed.

The demon hunter was stunned when he saw this, and didn't have time to react.

“Roar~Roar~Roar~”

“Roar~Roar~Roar~”

Two more trolls hit the ground, exposing their bellies.

The only troll standing at the front heard a loud noise behind him and didn't know what happened. He scratched his head and turned around in confusion.

Green sparks flew across his bald head.

In the flash of green light, the troll was startled when he saw his companion lying on the ground with his belly exposed.

Just at this time.

The golden-brown ripples of the Whisper of the Wild covered the first troll that turned around.

"...surrender...troll...surrender..."

The witcher's mind rang with the trolls' unique, intermittent, and silly sentences translated from the language of the wild.

"Boom~"

Smoke and dust were everywhere.

The last troll also lay on its back on the ground, revealing its white belly.

Almost...

The translation of the Wild Tongue almost failed to catch up with the surrender of the metal trolls.

The witcher looked at the white belly in front of him and the flattering expressions in the four pairs of eyes, and the corners of his mouth twitched unconsciously.

The persuasive sentences that I had organized in my mind by using various calming postures and stalling time suddenly became useless.

After a moment of silence, he ordered weakly before the effect of the Savage Language ended:

"Follow me..."

……

Regardless of the psychological activities of the demon hunter.

Purification Spirit, treasure chest, experience beads, four metal trolls, and a one-month cooldown for the celestial intersection - the rock troll...

All in all, this celestial conjunction was very fruitful.

Not only that.

Considering the docile nature of the Metal Trolls so far, it is expected that in the foreseeable future, "The Confluence of the Celestial Spheres - Rock Trolls" will bring a small number of good combat forces to the Wolf School every month.

The only thing that Ailin needed to consider now was how to quickly increase the number of qualified demon hunters in the Wolf School while adding a few legendary troll troops every month, so that the ratio of trolls and demon hunters in the school would not be unbalanced.

otherwise.

Arryn is not in Kaer Morhen all year round, and neither the rock trolls nor the metal trolls are well-tamed dogs. Once the proportions are out of balance, it will be difficult to avoid various hidden dangers.

Of course, this is just a happy trouble for today's demon hunters.

The addition of a large number of trolls will surely make the Ancient Sea Fortress even more impregnable, and there may even be a possibility of further advancement.

After bringing the four metal trolls to the rock trolls' camp, Mountain Stone and Big Stone easily accepted them, and were pleasantly surprised to find that the metal trolls' language or roar was of the same origin as the language in Big Stone and the cookbook.

It's just a shame.

The IQ of these four trolls is just that of ordinary trolls. Not only do they have very small vocabularies, but they also know basically nothing about the world behind "The Confluence of the Celestial Spheres - Rock Trolls".

There are only a few words like danger, hunger and cold to give us some inspiration.

Another thing worth mentioning is the special ability of the metal trolls. They can "smell" the location of metal veins from a long distance.

Perhaps before long, the Wolf School will add a few more iron and copper mines...

Although given the number of demon hunters, it seems unlikely to mine these veins for the time being.

But who knows about the future?
Who knows, in the near future, the abilities of these metal trolls may be able to turn the tide.

……

After settling the trolls, Arryn returned to Kaer Morhen.

Just after greeting Klar and several other apprentices who were guarding the city gate, familiar scolding accompanied by the sound of fierce clashing of wooden sticks came from not far away.

"boom!"

"Keep your eyes focused on the target as much as possible..."

"Bang! Bang!"

"Don't forget the demon hunter's perception. Don't panic. Be predictive..."

"Bang! Bang! Bang!"

"Wrong! Completely wrong! The purpose of spinning is to increase the speed and power of the slash. What's the point of you making it look so good..."

"Wrong again! I've told you so many times, hold your sword tightly with both hands and be careful of the rebounding blade. Do you want to be the first demon hunter to die at the hands of your own sword in Kaer Morhen..."

Ailin followed the sound, walked forward a few steps, and passed through the city wall that had just been cleaned of moss and was still slightly covered with dark green.

It was dusk and the sky was a little dark.

In the apprentice training ground closest to the city gate, Erni was confronting a black-haired apprentice with a sword.

His hair was damp with sweat, and it was still steaming.

But the shouting and scolding were full of energy and merciless, and there was no sign of it ending.

In the apprentice training ground, the other members of the Demon Hunting Corps were as excited as he was, as if they had been injected with chicken blood.

"Tsk tsk, it's really different with the motivation of a goal!" Ailin looked up at the sky and exclaimed in admiration.

At this time in the past, his good members would have abandoned the unskilled and annoying apprentice and ran to the castle hall to eat.

He still underestimated the appeal of going down the mountain for the demon hunters who had gone through half a year of high mountain trials.

But this is just fine.

Seeing that the apprentices were trained to the point that they had to stick out their tongues to dissipate heat, I'm sure the Demon Hunting Corps will be formed much faster.

It won't be long before new members can be added.

Not intending to disturb the enthusiastic members, Ailin took a few glances, nodded with satisfaction, and was about to go around and return to the tower.

But after walking a few steps, he suddenly stopped, remembering that he had given up halfway in his appointment with the stone to get the rotten meat.

Talk about it.

Although his relationship with Shanshitou has returned to normal today, he has even made great progress because of the water ghost's cooking skills.

However, if it were a monster with a more aggressive temper, or even if it just came to see the big rock a little later, it might result in the loss of a large number of powerful allies.

And this agreement...

Or to put it another way, it was he who made the contract for Kaer Morhen, in exchange for a regular supply of carrion in exchange for the migration of the mountain stone trolls.

This... seemed to have some special meaning, and Ailin couldn't help but take it seriously.

"It was only abandoned halfway, not that it was never implemented from the beginning. It should have nothing to do with Ms. Vera..."

"The amount of carrion agreed upon each week is not small, and it is not something that can be transported by just one or two people..."

Ailin thought for a moment, then walked back to the city gate, found Klar, and asked:

"Kral, do you know who transported the rotten meat to the Ring of Elements a month ago?"
