Chapter 95 Cat's Eye Potion
It was already late when we left the chief's residence.

Ailin went straight to the main hall of the castle and made a simple dinner in the same style as at noon.

The bonfire in the hall flickered, and the witchers toasted each other, making the scene very lively.

After declining invitations to dinner from several acquaintances, he found a corner with few people and sat down.

While chewing the bread, I thought about the information I heard in the afternoon.

Although the atmosphere at the afternoon meeting was tense, the situation of the Wolf School was much better than Ailin had imagined.

Different from what he had previously guessed.

At present, it is basically confirmed that there are only two enemies: King Haxor of Kaedwen and the wizards of Ben Ade Academy.

From the conversation between the Chief and several Demon Hunter Masters.

There is an obvious conflict of interest between the wizard forces represented by Ben Ader College and the wolf-faction witchers of Kaer Morhen.

There have been conflicts with the school in the past.

On the other hand, although the King of Kaedwen is somewhat hostile, he essentially wants to control the Wolf School, an armed group, and is a party that can be won over.

He could even form an alliance with the Wolf School as long as they were willing to hunt elves for him.

Ailin shook his head, rejecting the idea.

Adhering to neutrality is the school’s unchanging creed.

It was impossible for other witcher masters, including the Chief, to agree with the king's idea.

but.

“The kingship is not necessarily unattainable, nor does it necessarily need to be fought for.”

Ailin murmured and took another bite of bread.

The king seemed to want the witchers to hunt the elves, but in fact he seemed to want to find out something, or force someone out by causing the mass death of the elves.

So the key is, what exactly is this thing or this person?
As long as they find this key point, the Wolf School has a choice, whether it is to help the king fulfill his wish or to help his enemies depending on the situation.

But if he couldn't even find the king, where should he start?
Aelin sighed.

It's probably because his strength is too low. If his fighting power is strong enough, why would he have to think so hard and look for a chance to survive?

If the school was more powerful, the current situation where it is treated like a prey by the king would not have happened.

"Ah~"

"Imagination is useless. It is better to plan what to do next to avoid the destruction of the school."

After calming down, Ailin took another bite of bread and decided on his next goal.

First, find out what the king is looking for and why he is so hostile to the elves.

Second, improve your own strength.

Third, improve the overall strength of the school.

Although the first point is very important, it depends too much on luck, and he doesn't know any elves.

You can tell your analysis to the chief or sorceress and let them investigate first.

But they should have already started working on this, so just take it as a reminder.

If there was no result when he left Kaer Morhen, he would wait until the Apprentice Fighting Competition and collect intelligence along the way.

The second point is to hunt monsters. The profit from hunting water ghosts is not high.

You can target the little fog monster, the ghoul, and the water ghost king who will meet the sky and the sphere in fifteen days.

The third point is still mainly about potions.

For example, gradually opening up cat's eye, killer whale potion, and water ghost heart essence to the school's demon hunters.

However, we cannot rush this, as it will require the school or the demon hunter to pay some price in exchange.

After all, free donations will reduce the importance of the recipe and may easily lead to excessive demands from others.

After his general idea became clear, Ailin ate the last bite of lunch and got up to go to the alchemy room in the south tower.

……

Downstairs of the south tower.

Ailin didn't rush upstairs.

The recipe for the water ghost's heart essence requires alchemy level 4 to unlock.

He planned to upgrade his level downstairs before going upstairs.

Use your mind to open the Demon Hunting Notes.

[Ding! Your skill: Alchemy LV2 has been upgraded to Alchemy LV4 (0/10000)]

Excuse!
To upgrade from LV4 to LV5, the experience points required actually quadrupled.

Ten thousand experience points are equivalent to one thousand small experience beads.

The rewards he received for hunting down Old Spearhead and the Water Ghost King only added up to thirty-four experience beads, or three thousand four hundred small experience beads.

Ailin suddenly had a premonition. He was now worried that his character's level was too high, and the rewards for defeating monsters would be reduced, causing him to be forced to level down.

After the skill levels are upgraded.

Maybe the skill can't be upgraded due to lack of experience beads. The level is too high and no experience beads can be obtained from common monsters.

Ultimately, he could only hunt large, powerful monsters to obtain experience beads and treasure chests.

"Just keeping my level down isn't a solution. It's time to think about my specialization," Ailin thought.

At this time.

A large amount of information about alchemy has been instilled into his mind, and the speed of information transmission has gradually decreased.

Ailin, who had upgraded many times, knew that this was a sign that the alchemy upgrade was about to be completed, so he planned to walk towards the alchemy room.

Sudden.

"Buzz~buzz~"

The wolf emblem suddenly began to buzz.

Ailin's eyes suddenly went dark, and a sharp pain came from his eyeballs, as if thousands of steel needles were piercing him continuously.

"Humph!"

"what happened?"

He covered his eyes hard with his hands.

He suppressed a cry of pain and instinctively switched to Wolf Emblem's perspective.

Four colors of light enveloped him.

Ailin had an idea.

Chaos magic was transforming his eyes.

For a long time,

The eye pain disappeared.

The transformation of Alchemy LV4 is completed.

……

The second floor of the south tower.

Aelin just reached the door.

"Squeak~"

The door opened by itself.

Ailin was not surprised, as he had already made an appointment with the sorceress in advance.

The alchemy room remains the same.

Fluffy red carpets and colorful paintings.

Lace curtains adorned the cool stone windowsills.

But after going through a trial between life and death, Ailin felt that this place was particularly familiar.

"Mary, I passed the test!"

Smelling the familiar scent of orange and cardamom, Ailin smiled and greeted Mary who came over after hearing the sound.

The girl was sitting in front of the alchemy table. She was so happy when she saw him for the first time that half of her butt was off the seat.

She suddenly thought of something, sat back down heavily, held her chin with her hand, and tilted her head, not looking at him.

Ailin scratched the back of his head, not knowing what he had done wrong, and subconsciously looked at the sorceress sitting at the alchemy table.

"Mary is mad at you for not looking for her the first time after the trial yesterday."

The sorceress crossed her arms and looked back and forth between the two little men with a smiling look.

"tutor!"

Mary blushed and spoke loudly, which was unusual for her in front of the sorceress.

"Okay, okay, I won't say it any more."

"Sorry, I just finished the trial yesterday and was dragged away by my companions to celebrate." Ailin explained.

He sat down at the alchemy table behind Mary and found that Mary was still indifferent.

So he thought for a few seconds, and then an idea suddenly occurred to him, and he respectfully said several times, "Forgive me, Ms. Mary."

As expected, the girl Mary was immediately coaxed and asked him shyly about the experience of the mountain trial.

After a while.

Vera saw that the two had almost finished their conversation, so she asked:
"What are you doing here today? Making potions or taking alchemy lessons?"

"Making a potion..."

Before he finished speaking, a voice of surprise, tinged with pain, came from behind him.

"what!?"
