After many days, Ailin once again experienced the feeling of the school bell ringing in his mind.
Fortunately, I didn’t fall on the smelly corpse of the monster this time.
The witcher apprentice opened his eyes and saw Vesemir looking at him with a worried look on his face.
In a trance, Ailin suddenly realized that he had only been in this world for more than ten days.
Fighting and killing every day, with the threat of death hanging over his head, he felt as if he had been struggling to survive in the demon hunter world for several years.
"Alin, are you okay?" Vesemir patted his shoulder gently.
The witcher apprentice shook himself and stood up.
"Don't worry, Master Vesemir, I'm fine."
The Demon Hunter Master hesitated for a few seconds after hearing this, and suddenly said:
"The relevant experimental records of the Demon Hunter's Eye are all in Ms. Vera's possession."
"Although I haven't seen those records, such powerful abilities will most likely have serious consequences."
"If you can avoid using it in the future, then don't use it."
Arlin heard the concern in Vesemir's tone, and his heart warmed. He nodded and said:
"Don't worry, Master Vesemir. I know."
Vesemir nodded, turned to look at the huge corpse of the Water Ghost King, and said with emotion:
"Alin, maybe I can call you Master Demon Hunter now."
The witcher apprentice also followed Vesemir's gaze.
Even though he was dead, the oppressive feeling around the Water Ghost King did not dissipate.
The headless body lay there like a blue hill.
As Ailin walked towards the Water Ghost King, he felt that the air around him was slowly becoming stagnant.
Feeling the increasing pressure around him, Ailin couldn't help but sigh:
"Chaos magic really favors monsters!"
"Not all monsters are favored like this," Vissermil paused and said, "Among the large monsters I have encountered, only a handful have been favored like this."
Without waiting for Arryn to speak, Vesemir looked him in the eye seriously and continued:
"Alin, perhaps you haven't realized yet, this is a miracle."
"There are demon hunter masters in this world who can hunt dragons and high-level vampires, but there has never been a demon hunter apprentice like you who can be called a master without passing all the trials."
Hearing Vesemir's sigh, Ailin said modestly:
"I can't be called a master, everything depends on you..."
“Don’t be modest, Arryn,” Vesemir interrupted. “I know my role in this battle. Without your final blow, I would have been defeated before sunset.”
The honor of hunting monsters is of vital importance to a monster hunter.
This large monster was not hunted by Vesemir. Even if the monster was very powerful, Vesemir was unwilling to claim it.
Seeing this, Arlin was unwilling to argue with Vesemir about this matter anymore.
He looked at the huge mountain of meat in front of him and changed the subject:
"Master Vesemir, what should we do with this monster?"
“I’ve never seen such a monster before.” Vesemir felt a headache after hearing this. “Why don’t we drag them all back?”
Upon hearing this, Ailin looked at the pile of corpses in confusion and murmured:
"Drag them all back?"
"How to delay?"
……
About half an hour later.
Ailin held the head of the Water Ghost King and followed the Demon Hunter Master.
The huge shadow of Vesemir, carrying the corpse of the Water King, enveloped a large area around the witcher apprentice.
Completely covered by the shadow, Aylin still couldn't believe it. On the one hand, it was because Vesemir easily carried the corpse, which weighed at least one ton.
On the other hand, there is curiosity.
What kind of monster is this peasant who could kill such a powerful demon hunter with a pitchfork?
Although in the afternoon, Ailin and Vesemir not only escaped the pursuit of the group of water ghosts, but also completed the amazing feat of hunting down the large monster Water Ghost King.
But neither of these two things actually took much time.
It was around three or four in the afternoon when they returned to Kaer Morhen.
The winter sun is not too red but it shines obliquely on the ancient castle, casting large shadows.
At this time, there were not many people in Kaer Morhen.
Given the physique of a demon hunter, the banquet that starts at noon is often just the time when they are drinking to their heart's content and in the highest spirits.
Therefore, when the two of them first stepped into the castle gate, they were not surrounded by many witchers.
But once I started watching, I never left.
Curious, shocked, noisy...
The noisy sound attracted the curious demon hunter again.
The crowd quieted down only after an old friend of Vesemir's came into the room.
"Vesemir, what the hell is this? Didn't you take our water ghost killer to kill water ghosts?"
The demon hunter Dante was holding a jug of wine, and the moment he opened his mouth the smell of alcohol hit him.
"Show some respect, now you should call Arryn the Master Witcher." Vesemir's muffled voice came from under the corpse.
"what?"
Dante touched his face, thinking he had heard it wrongly.
"boom!"
Vesemir threw the body to the ground and said loudly:
"I say, you should call Aelin the Master Witcher now."
Seeing that the witchers around him all looked confused, Vesemir sighed and added another sentence.
"This large monster was hunted by Ailin."
"Click"
The demon hunter Dante was so surprised that he crushed the wine jug in his hand, and the clear aroma of wine instantly filled the air.
After a few seconds of silence among the surrounding witchers, the noise instantly resounded throughout Kaer Morhen.
Most witchers are familiar with Vesemir's character.
Like the chief, he is a man who values honor and would never lie about the ownership of his prey.
From the size of this unknown monster, it can be confirmed that it is a truly large monster.
Moreover, a demon hunter with some experience can judge from the oppressive feeling coming from the corpse that this monster is not the lowest one even among the large monsters.
but.
How is this possible?
Since when can even a demon hunter apprentice hunt large monsters?
This is too magical!
Dante opened his mouth and looked at the witcher apprentice who was covering himself with the water ghost king's head.
"Alin...how did you do it?"
"The Eye of the Demon Hunter, Dante, Aelin has the Eye of the Demon Hunter."
"He's a natural born demon hunter!"
