Chapter 63 Are you willing to surrender?

Killer Lakeside.

Soi pulled Vera to one side, under a willow tree some distance away from the group of witcher masters.

The chief looked at Vera who was distracted, trying to divert her attention, and said:
"Vera, after you come back this time, are you going out again?"

"I'm not going out. I've almost finished checking everything I need to check. I'll do the rest after winter."

The sorceress's eyes still wandered over the killer lake, intentionally or unintentionally.

Seeing this, Soi sighed and said comfortingly:

"Don't worry, Wei."

"We have all seen the effects of that potion. There will be no problems at Killer Lake."

After a pause, seeing that Vera's expression did not improve, the chief continued:
"Old Spearhead is probably still asleep at this time. The troll will just throw some rocks to scare the apprentice."

"Don't worry, Vera, Ailin will be fine." Soi repeated again.

The chief of the Wolf School did not lie, although the mortality rate of the mountain trial was high.

But this trial is not for apprentices to die.

This time of year is when the temperature in Kaer Morhen is at its lowest.

The activity level of water ghosts has decreased.

Old Spearhead also entered a state similar to hibernation, sleeping for many days.

As long as the apprentice can stay calm and apply the knowledge and skills they have learned, they will definitely pass.

Of course, that's if you're not too unlucky.

However, most apprentices were unable to remain calm during the mountain trials.

At least in the icy Killer Lake, it is difficult to remain calm when faced with water ghosts whose number is difficult to count.

But this is not the case with Ailin's apprentices.

Fear comes from the unknown. If you know where the danger is, will you still panic?
Once you pass the Killer Lake section and adapt to the dangerous atmosphere, your survival rate will increase a lot.

after all.

It is actually not easy to wake up the sleeping old spearhead.

As for the trolls.

At least so far, no apprentice has died at the hands of those honest monsters.

The sorceress looked much better after hearing Soi's explanation.

She lowered her head and pondered for a moment, then sighed:

"Your situation is not optimistic."

Upon hearing this, the Chief of the Wolf School subconsciously glanced at the Demon Hunter Masters not far away.

Those witchers, who were already quite old, focused their attention on the Chief and Vera.

When he saw the chief's gaze coming towards him, he immediately tilted his head and looked around as if he had done something wrong.

"Snapped"

A snap of the fingers.

A translucent shield surrounded the Chief and the Sorceress.

Soi also sighed, looked back at the sorceress, and asked:
“How pessimistic?”

The sorceress said nothing, but shook her head seriously. Then she walked to the willow tree at the edge of the shield, turned her back to Soi, and said:

"The king is indeed going to take action against you."

"And it's not just you. The Cat School is also one of his targets."

"Why?" Even though he had expected this, the demon hunter couldn't help but raise his voice. "It's fine for the Cat School, but we in the Wolf School have always been neutral and won't get involved..."

"Soy!"

Vera interrupted the Chief's questioning.

Yes, the sorceress thought it was a question, but of course it was not directed at her.

"Is it possible that it is precisely because you have always been neutral that the Big Stomach King wants to attack you?"

The sorceress paused, then continued:

"Besides, there aren't many monsters left, are there?"

The witcher was silent.

He may not really understand politics, but he has lived for hundreds of years. How could he not understand this?

There are not many monsters anymore, so there is naturally no need for demon hunters.

"So, the fighting competition between the Wolf School and the Cat School apprentices is a trap?"

"It's likely." Vera nodded, "But you still have to send someone." "Why?" the witcher asked puzzledly.

"If you don't go, the Big Glutton can just use the excuse of 'disrespect' as an excuse to send troops to attack Kaer Morhen."

The witcher was silent again.

After a long time, he finally asked earnestly: "Vera, what should I do?"

Upon hearing this, Vera asked, "Are you willing to lead the Wolf School to submit to the Big Eater?"

The chief of the Wolf School shook his head naturally and said:

"The School of the Wolf is committed to neutrality. Without this belief, there would be no Kaer Morhen."

"and……"

Seeing that Soi was hesitant, the sorceress asked, "And what?"

"A few days ago, the Big Stomach King sent an envoy to ask about the elves..."

Before he finished speaking, Suo Yi suddenly seemed to remember something and said:
"By the way, Ailin came to see me a few days ago because of that messenger."

Hearing "Alin", Vera looked away.

She looked at Soi with a focused expression.

"Alin said that there is something wrong with that wizard, and that the entire Ban Ader School of Wizards may be hostile to Kaer Morhen."

"Alin also said that he dreamed of wizards, who brought farmers and monsters to destroy the Ancient Sea Fortress and killed all the witchers of the Wolf School."

After hearing this, Vitala was silent for a long time, then asked the messenger in detail about how he arrived and sighed.

"Soy!"

“The problem has become more serious again.”

The Wolf School chief's heart sank when he heard this.

The situation is already so serious, how can it get any worse?
“I asked a lot of people when I left this time.”

"So what?" Soi asked in a deep voice.

"Among them is a wizard... and he is the principal of Ban Ade College..."

Vera sighed, glanced at the chief's ugly expression, and continued:
"Soi, the Big Eater should have known by now..."

"'We're doubting him."

"call"

After hearing the prompt sound of the Demon Hunting Notes.

The witcher apprentice heaved a sigh of relief and sheathed his sword.

"I didn't expect the system prompt when the crusade is completed would be so useful." Ailin thought.

Subsequently.

He looked at the first line of the system prompt, the level of the little fog monster.

He glanced down at the evaluation that just passed and the reward that was better than nothing, and couldn't help but sigh.

"The level has indeed risen too high."

But there is no other way. I can't risk my life just to get more rewards and evaluation by killing monsters.

The witcher apprentice comforted himself and continued to look down.

Huh?
Every time a mission is activated, isn't the Demon Hunting Notes directly handed to him, leaving him with no way to refuse?
Why are you asking him whether he accepts it this time?
Was it because of the change in his rating? After becoming a new demon hunter, he finally had the power of his own?

Ailin shook his head. Even though he had owned it for a month, he had to admit that he still knew nothing about the Demon Hunting Notes.

Of course you have to accept the mission.

The demon hunter apprentice then switched the panel to the inventory.

He planned to open the treasure chest before leaving.

Although I am confident that I can pass the mountain trial, who would complain about having too many treasures and a high chance of passing the trial?
