Chapter 59 The Last Day (Second round of recommendation, please read it!)
In the snow.
Hughes followed behind Arryn, taking a glance at Vesemir who was at the front, and asked quietly:
"Erin, the Mountain Trial will begin tomorrow. Why did Master Vesemir bring us out now?"
Fred and Bunter walked nearby and also pricked up their ears quietly.
"You'll find out when you get there."
Ailin smiled mysteriously and kept the secret.
Upon hearing this, Xiusi hesitated to speak.
He knew that if Ailin didn't intend to speak, there was no way to pry his mouth open.
So, while secretly cursing myself for being so talkative, my whole body felt itchy as if it was covered with lint, and I squirmed forward.
"arrive!"
Vesemir's voice came from the front.
The witcher apprentices, except Ayrin, all looked up in confusion.
This is a lake.
The white snow turned the originally green lakeside into a vast expanse of white.
The calm lake reflects the white of the shore, the white of the sky, and the white of the mountains.
Although it is all white, the layers are different, making the lake surface look like a simple and elegant silver mirror.
Snowflakes fall on the mirror, creating ripples that make people want to travel behind the mirror to see what kind of beautiful ice and snow world is hidden inside.
"Wow!"
Xiuston's face turned red, his mouth opened in shock, and he was surprised at the desperate situation before him.
Fred and Bont were not much different from Hughes, their round cat-like pupils also widened.
"This is where?"
"Such a beautiful place must have a name, right?" Hughes asked Ailin impatiently.
He had never seen such a beautiful place.
"Killer Lake," Ailin paused and said, "This is where the apprentices undergo the alpine trial, so the witchers of the Wolf School call it Killer Lake."
The three apprentices who were originally excited fell silent.
Ailin watched their mood quickly sink, but he did not feel the sympathy he usually did.
Killer Lake.
For the wolf-faction demon hunters, this is indeed a name with heavy connotations.
But after tomorrow, they will no longer have this fear and depressed mood.
Perhaps all the apprentices after the Wolf School will not be afraid of Killer Lake.
"Bang~bang~"
Amid the sound of glass bottles, Ailin took out four thumb-sized crystal bottles from his waist and handed them to the bewildered apprentices one by one.
Vesemir stood by with a smile on his face, his arms folded across his chest, watching the scene in front of him without saying a word.
"Drink it." Ailin said with a smile.
The three little heads looked at each other, but out of trust in Ailin, they all drank the blue liquid in the crystal bottle in one gulp.
Ailin drank his share as well and nodded to the other three witcher apprentices.
Then he dived into the icy lake water.
Soft green water plants, schools of swimming fish, colorful pebbles...
The unique luminous vision of the "killer whale" makes the beauty under the Killer Lake no worse than that above the water.
The only thing that spoiled the view were the water ghosts floating at the end of the sight.
However, none of the water ghosts noticed Ailin's presence.
"Sure enough!"
The witcher apprentice was excited. The last time he used the "Killer Whale" potion, all the water ghosts in the Killer Lake were gone, and they were all turned into dried leeches by the sorceress.
Therefore, although he knew that the potion was very effective, he still felt a little unsure.
Afterwards, Master Dante did not allow him to come to Killer Lake.
It seemed as if they were afraid that he would kill all the water ghosts in the lake.
Now is the chance.
Ailin had already swam more than ten meters towards the nearest water ghost.
The water ghost was still floating slowly and aimlessly in the lake.
After swimming forward a few more meters, the water ghost was still not alert.
He finally let go of his worries.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
Three sounds of entering water.
Ailin looked in the direction of the voice and the surprised faces of the apprentices stood out against the glowing blue water of the lake.
His mouth opened even wider than Vesemir's had.
He swam back, let them adjust for a while, pointed at the mouth, nose, and eyes, and then asked them to get closer to the water ghost in the distance. Then, he instructed them to go ashore one after another.
"Shu~"
Amid the sound of water gushing out, Ailin patted his leather armor to wipe off the water stains.
The leather armors worn by the apprentices have all been specially processed, using the oils of certain monsters to create a lightweight design.
Movement will not be affected by the weight of the leather armor.
Judging from the expression on Vesemir's face when he gave them the leather armor, these leather armors must be quite precious.
"Alin! Alin! Can this potion be used tomorrow?"
"Yes, Ailin, what we were asked to drink today, we can drink tomorrow as well..."
……
Several apprentices also floated up from the water, surrounding Ailin and chattering.
"This is a potion made by Arryn. Of course it can be used tomorrow." Vesemir said with a smile.
"Wow~"
Three exclamations sounded at the same time.
The witcher apprentice looked at the joy, trust, admiration and worship on the three young faces around him, and a sense of satisfaction arose in his heart.
Although it is not known how many of these demon hunter apprentices survived the mountain trial in the original timeline.
However, considering the 50% mortality rate, he at least saved the life of an apprentice.
And it is conceivable that the "killer whale" will definitely save more children's lives in the future.
As he thought about it, a smile involuntarily appeared on Ailin's face.
Because of the improvement in his attributes, Arryn, who had unknowingly grown half a head taller than the other apprentices, smiled rarely when he saw Vesemir sitting opposite him.
Feeling relaxed, Ailin took out the water ghost whistle and joked:
"Master Vesemir, now that we are here, why don't we kill a few water ghosts before we leave?"
The Demon Hunter Master was about to walk towards them, but when he heard what Aylin said, his smiling handsome face suddenly darkened.
Vesemir rolled his eyes and snorted, then smiled and didn't reply.
He knew the apprentice was playing a joke on him.
After playing around for a while, the witcher master and his apprentices set out on the road back to Kaer Morhen.
After returning to the Ancient Sea Fortress, Ailin took the initiative to say goodbye to the others and came to the alchemy room on the second floor of the west tower.
He wasn't here because he ran out of Killer Whale potion.
A few days ago, Ailin spent an entire afternoon brewing potions.
As for quantity, there was something to be said for the pale visage of Mary the Sorceress.
The witcher apprentice is now going to the alchemy room to see if Ms. Vera has returned.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
With an expectation that he himself did not understand, Ailin knocked on the door of the alchemy room.
"Squeak~"
The door opened.
Unfortunately, it was Mary who opened the door.
"Ai... Ailin... what's the matter?"
Sorceress Mary leaned against the door with some fear, looking reluctant to let the witcher apprentice in.
When Ailin saw Mary's look, he knew that Vera must not have come back yet.
But he asked anyway.
"Is Ms. Vera back?"
"Not yet, what's the matter?"
Arlin shook his head and said goodbye to Mary.
Ready to leave.
Suddenly, a clear female voice came from behind the witcher apprentice.
"Aylin!"
"You will definitely pass the test tomorrow!"
The witcher apprentice turned around and saw Mary's delicate white face full of solemnity and blessing. His heart warmed and he smiled.
"Don't worry, Ms. Mary."
"I will definitely pass the trial!"
"Most definitely!"
