Chapter 76 Ring of Elements

Chapter 76 Ring of Elements
[Ding! Mission: Summoning I (Collect Rock Troll Blood 0/20) has been activated, do you want to accept? ]

[Quest Reward: Intersection of Celestial Spheres - Troll]

Ok?
Is the mission activated at this time?

Ailin stopped immediately and read the two lines carefully several times.

Wow, this is what I wanted!
Why hesitate about this task? Just accept it.

Collecting 20 pieces of blood should mean collecting blood from 20 different rock trolls, without killing the rock trolls.

Otherwise, the hunting mission will be activated.

However, now is not the right time to demand blood from these three trolls directly.

Although the rock trolls respected him because of the heads of these two monsters, once the witcher apprentice asked for blood.

You don't have to think too much to know what the consequences will be.

"But since I'm here, I might as well brush up my favorability first."

After thinking for a while, Ailin took out three pieces of rotten meat from his backpack.

The witcher apprentice had previously obtained a book called "A Brief Discussion of Twenty-three Cooking Methods for Water Ghosts" written by a legendary troll chef.

Although he couldn't understand the content, since scavengers like water ghosts were on the trolls' diet, rotten meat should be on their diet too.

"I hope those trolls like it." Aelin thought.

For a moment, he couldn't find anything else that could improve his favorability.

As soon as the rotten meat was taken out, the disgusting stench of decay instantly filled the environment around the witcher apprentice.

really.

When the witcher apprentice turned around and walked towards the rock trolls, he found that they were all staring at the rotten meat in Arin's hand without blinking.

There was even saliva flowing from the corners of Xiao Shitou's mouth.

“This is a gift from a friend.”

After Ailin placed the three pieces of rotten meat on the ground, he slowly backed away.

"...Good witcher...Good witcher..."

The big stone in the lead nodded excitedly, took two steps forward, picked up the rotten meat, held it to his nose and took a deep breath, then reluctantly gave one portion to the broken stone and the small stone.

The witcher apprentice breathed a sigh of relief upon seeing this.

As long as the carrion is to their liking.

He has a lot of this stuff. There are more than a hundred pieces of rotten meat in his inventory. If it weren't for the level increase, it would be difficult to find high-level water ghosts.

As long as he keeps hunting water ghosts, there will be more.

But just send a few each time, don't send too many at once.

The most important thing to improve favorability is not to be impatient. If you wait a few more days after the mountain trial, you will probably be able to get the three pieces of blood.

Now that everything had been delivered, the witcher apprentice prepared to turn around and leave to continue his trial.

But I didn't expect that a big rock would suddenly block my way.

Ailin instantly became alert, thinking that the rock troll was dissatisfied with the lack of meat and wanted to ask him for more.

Unexpectedly, after the big rock stopped him, he turned back and fiddled with the pile of stones in the corner for a while.

Then he walked over and spread out his rough big hands that were hanging on the ground in front of the witcher apprentice.

An irregular red gem appeared in the palm of the rock troll, which had only four fingers.

"...my demon hunter friend...my friend...return the gift..."

Ailin was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and subconsciously took the red stone that Dashi handed over.

"Bang~bang~bang~"

Seeing the witcher apprentice take it, Dashitou nodded naively.

Then he couldn't wait to leave with the other rock trolls and enjoy the delicious carrion.

The witcher apprentice stood there in a daze, looking at the dazzling red gem in his hand, with mixed feelings.

He sighed, took a deep look at the backs of the group of simple monsters, and put the ruby ​​back into the inner pocket of his leather armor.

Turn around and walk towards the Ring of Elements.

……

Winter sun.

The witcher apprentice carried the head on his back and slowly walked up the mountain path.

The Ring of Elements is a relic that has existed since before the Witchers built the Ancient Sea Fortress.

This is one of the most magical places in the entire Blue Mountains.

The elves have built similar altars in many places where magic is rich, to activate or charge magic items. However, since a celestial intersection more than two thousand years ago.

After the human ancestors of the Demon Hunter world came across the sea, the living environment of the elves was gradually squeezed to the corner of the world, and the population continued to decline.

Therefore, a small part of magical places like the Ring of Elements are used by humans, while most of them are directly abandoned in the wilderness.

After all, although the number of humans is huge, those with magical talents are rare.

"Whoo~"

Long puffs of white steam were exhaled from the witcher apprentice's mouth.

Unlike in the game, the Ring of Elements is not close to the trolls' residence.

Ailin walked for nearly half an hour before he saw the ruins standing on a cliff.

"It's finally here!"

The witcher apprentice's mood gradually cheered up.

Ever since he came to this world, he has been looking for the difference between this real world and the demon hunter world in the game.

The place of magic is naturally an important part that cannot be ignored.

In the game, after the demon hunter activates the place of magic, he can not only gain an enhancement on the seal, but also gain a skill point.

When he first played the game, whenever Ailin opened a new map, he would first open all the magical places on the map before completing the main quest.

and so.

"Does the magical place in this world also have special effects?"

"Will there be any changes when the Demon Hunting Notes encounters a place of magic power?"

Such questions have been lingering in his mind ever since he left the troll.

Now that the Ring of Elements is right in front of me, I finally have the chance to resolve my doubts.

"Whoo~"

The witcher apprentice let out a long sigh, stepped on the soft snow, and walked towards the heights step by step.

The closer I got to the ruins, the faster my heart beat, and its thumping sound sounded like a drum beating in my ears.

The sound was so loud that he was a little worried that he would miss the sudden mechanical sound of the Demon Hunting Notes.

But until he reached the ruins, the witcher apprentice did not hear the familiar voice.

"Eh~"

Ailin couldn't help but sigh with regret.

However, out of a glimmer of hope, he looked around carefully again.

In the end, the magic pillar with colorful luster in the game was not found.

There is only ruins here.

A ruin entangled by hardy vines, covered with snow, cracks and rubble.

With his fantasy shattered, the witcher apprentice did not delay any longer.

He walked up the cracked steps, came to the altar, took out the roaring wolf head badge of the Wolf School from his collar, and placed it on the flat altar.

Hughes and his team had arrived earlier, so the four torches on the platform all showed signs of having been lit.

Recalling the activation method that Vesemir had mentioned a few days ago, the witcher apprentice found several torches engraved with water, earth, air, and fire respectively, and lit them one by one in order using the Igni Sign.

Simple activation method.

After activation, the demon hunter apprentice stared at the school emblem carefully.

After a while, nothing happened.

Just when Ailin thought that he had made a mistake in the order of lighting the lights.

The wind has risen.

A gust of wind, whose origin and destination were unknown, swirled in front of the altar.

The magical aura brought by the affinity with the water element in the demon hunter's body suddenly trembled.

"Om~"

The silver, roaring wolf head trembled, hummed, and struck the altar.

Ailin stood up quickly, his eyes full of surprise and disbelief.

This is not because the badge is activating, but...

"Ding! The sky and the earth meet—Water ghost, charging…"
