Are You a Transmigrator Too?

"Wait..." Ailin ran to the Big Stone in a few steps and placed the rotten flesh in its hand. "You can't refuse a gift from a friend."

The Big Stone held the rotting flesh in its hands, somewhat at a loss.

The Broken Stone and the Little Stone stood not far away, drooling as they stared at the Big Stone, their mouths opening and closing repeatedly, but they still didn't dare to say a word.

"... Friend... gift... return gift... cannot be accepted..."

The Big Stone was indeed different from the others, especially when the other two Rock Troll stood next to it; the difference was very obvious.

I didn't drool when I saw the food.

Ailin even refused to return the gift, placing the rotten flesh in his hands, but still insisted on refusing.

If it weren't for the fact that he still looked like Rock Troll, he might have even suspected that the Big Stone was some well-mannered noble scion who had put on a troll skin.

However, the "Summon I" quest must be completed, so these portions of rotten flesh must also be delivered.

"I have no return gift, but I can help you. Consider this meat as payment."

Upon hearing this, Big Stone paused for a moment, then said in a simple and honest manner:

"... The Witcher... needs help..."

Ailin nodded.

The Big Stone glanced down at the Swamp Hag's head on Ailin's waist, and then said:

"... Big Stone... monster... don't kill it..."

Ailin smiled and said, "No need for killing, just help me move some things later."

The Swamp Hag and several Ghoul corpses were still lying in the snow. He had originally planned to ask Huus others to come and move them tomorrow.

Now we have three Rock Troll to help us, which is perfect.

And as long as he hasn't left Kaer Morhen, there will definitely be many more such incidents.

Upon hearing this, the Big Stone withdrew its hand from pushing away the rotten flesh, and looked back at the Broken Stone and the Little Stone.

"... Broken Stone... Little Stone... witcher friend... moving things..."

"... Roar... Eat meat... Move things... Eat meat... Eat meat..."

When Broken Stone heard that Big Stone had agreed to accept the rotten flesh, it excitedly threw the Little Stone next to it into the air, where it landed on the soft snow outside the camp.

This scene infuriated Big Stone, who took a few steps and slammed his fist into Broken Stone's head again.

In a short while, two blue stone balls appeared on the ground, rolling around everywhere.

As Ailin watched, a smile involuntarily appeared on his face.

"Big Stone, you guys eat first."

"I'm going to the Circle of Elements. I'll come back in a bit and we'll move some things together."

Big Stone turned around and nodded, his ferocious face looking unusually honest.

"... Witcher friend... rest assured... the troll... keeps his word..."

Ailin nodded gently, then walked towards the top of the mountain.

The mountain road is difficult to travel.

The higher you go, the thicker the snow becomes and the colder the temperature.

The withered trees on both sides were half-dead, bent over by the thick snow.

"Phew~"

The long, white vapor condenses into Ice Crystals the moment it is exhaled.

But such a harsh and adverse environment did not dampen Ailin's good mood.

"Shh~shh~shh~"

As the snow was pushed aside, he hummed a tune from his past life and moved toward the Circle of Elements, occasionally circulating the Igni Sign within his body to warm himself.

Even in this extremely cold weather, it's quite pleasant.

Of course, the reason they were in such a good mood was because of those Rock Troll.

"Before, I was too one-sided, only thinking about increasing the Rock Troll's favorability and completing the quest," Ailin reflected on himself.

After leaving the troll camp, he thought about it more and more and felt that asking the Rock Troll to help move the corpses was a good move.

Ailin's relationship with the trolls is still very distant; he can only ask them to move things. But if this back-and-forth interaction continues...

Will there ever be a day when we can ask them to help guard Kaer Morhen?

Even after he completes the "Summon I" character and unlocks "Conjunction of the Spheres - Troll".

Could we ask the Big Stone to help train some Rock Troll guards?

This is much better than giving gifts unilaterally.

"If, during the defense of Kaer Morhen, the enemy had just arrived and suddenly found a group of tough-skinned Rock Troll guarding the city..."

"Tsk tsk~"

"I can hardly imagine what that scene would be like!"

The more Ailin thought about it, the more excited he became; his fiery heart directly dispelled the invasion of the severe cold.

With this feeling in mind, after walking for another ten minutes or so, we arrived at the Circle of Elements.

Looking at the ruins of the ancient city not far away, frozen by heavy snow, Ailin opened the Witcher's Handbook in his mind.

After two days of thought, he had figured out how to hunt down the Drowners King alone, and now all that was left was for the cooldown of "Conjunction of the Spheres" to end.

[Conjunction of the Spheres - Water Ghost, Cooldown: 12 days, 1 hour, 21 seconds]

"If only the energy of the Circle of Elements could completely negate these 12 days!"

He let out a long breath, tightened the Swamp Hag around his waist, and continued toward his goal.

"Huh?"

As soon as Ailin arrived at the ruins, he was stunned by the scene before him and stopped in his tracks.

A huge, deep pit appeared before us.

After taking a few more steps, he discovered that not only was there no snow in the pit, but even the rock foundation had emerged, and a small layer of it had been shaved off by something.

"What... what's going on here?" Ailin stared in shock at the scene before him.

"Shh~shh~shh~"

As he walked from the snow into the deep pit, he discovered more details.

Smooth, cut-off surfaces of snow; ruins and stones vanished into thin air; bare, withered trees devoid of even snow; irregularly distributed black silt resembling riverbed mud; and...

A three-toed footprint extending down another path down the mountain.

The distinctive footprints instantly piqued Ailin's interest, and he subconsciously glanced at the Swamp Hag on his waist.

Could it be it?

He then knelt down in front of the footprints, grabbed a handful of snow, closed his eyes, and opened the Mutated Organ on both sides of his nose.

Suddenly, a variety of colors appeared in the dark world before my eyes.

Eliminate the interference of irrelevant odors.

He twitched the tip of his nose twice.

Although the scent on the snow was faint, the Witcher's keen senses still managed to detect its true nature.

Then.

Two identical, dark green lines, resembling water plants in a lake, floated and captured Ailin's entire attention.

To get to the root of the problem.

One strand of snow came from his hands, another from his waist.

"It really is that Swamp Hag!"

Ailin suddenly opened his eyes and stood up.

Swamp Hag, Foglet Arm Bone, Jingguan of skulls), Circle of Elements...

so.

Is this Swamp Hag from another world?

Are these traces also from the Conjunction of the Spheres?

Ailin glanced again at the ground, which looked as if a large chunk had been ripped away out of thin air.

Yes, that must be it.

This Swamp Hag might even come from the world of "Ritual: Flesh Giant".

"No wonder the style of that Jingguan a mound of corpses) is so strange, so different from the one in the game. It turns out it's not a sacrificial ritual in this world."

Ailin nodded knowingly, then looked around and frowned.

"The traces here come from the Conjunction of the Spheres."

This is easy to judge.

But the key question is why this "natural" Conjunction of the Spheres happened in these two days, right after the Trial of the Mountains?

Is it because of the Witcher's Handbook's Notes?
