May the Goddess Melitele Protect Me!
The tower has three floors.
A campfire crackled softly in the center of the room, its gentle popping sound lulling one to sleep.
Fragrant mist swirled and lingered around the hemispherical wall, quietly slipping out through a small crack in the slightly ajar wooden door to the balcony.
"Splash!"
Ailin stepped into the bathtub.
He heated the water in the bathtub to a slightly hot temperature using Igni.
The moment his body entered the water, the slightly hot water enveloped him, and every pore on his body opened slightly.
Ah~
Ailin closed his eyes and couldn't help but groan comfortably.
Scenes from today keep flashing through my mind.
Swamp Hag, Jingguan, Rock Troll, Essence Fluid, Trial of Grasses, ritual studies, mist transformation, and more...
The School of the Wolf's Witcher Company.
The Witcher Company was Ailin's boldest move since entering the world of Witchers.
after all.
How can I allow others to sleep soundly beside my bed?
No one in a position of power can tolerate the division of their rights, especially the division of their armed forces.
A transaction was proposed but not successfully completed.
Ailin is very likely to become a thorn in the Chief's side.
If he encounters a monster he can't defeat, he still has a chance to escape. But if he's rejected by the chief, he might have no choice but to leave Kaer Morhen.
But he had no choice but to gamble!
Ailin sighed.
Since the enemy is the king and the sorcerers, the defense of Kaer Morhen will most likely be a combination of the army and the sorcerers, with the advantage gained through surprise attacks.
If the goal is to exterminate the demon hunters, as depicted in the game's background, then the defensive battle will most likely take place in winter.
The Witchers of the School of the Wolf return to Kaer Morhen when winter arrives.
Drinking all night and lax vigilance...
It's really... hard not to be wiped out!
Thinking of the Witcher who couldn't even use Ald this afternoon and even deserted his post, Ailin sighed again.
"The School of the Wolf has terrible organization and discipline!"
"In the current state, even without a sneak attack, we would be divided and defeated if we faced a regular army head-on, and we would definitely lose."
"A highly disciplined armed force must be established."
He reaffirmed his belief.
"Fortunately, the chief agreed to my suggestion."
"Fortunately, the Witcher's Handbook actually had Main Quest because of this."
What kind of mission will the Monster Hunting Legion have...? He was somewhat looking forward to it.
With a slight thought, the ancient pages of a book unfolded in my mind.
[Ding! Main Quest: The Beginning of the Monster Hunting Legion (Invite Demon Hunters to Join the Legion 0/3) has been activated. Accept?]
[Quest Reward: Monster Hunting Legion]
Of course I accept!
The moment the thought accepted it, a simple and ancient horn suddenly rang in my mind.
Then came the heavy sound of horses' hooves and the chopping of axes.
A strong stench of blood permeated the surroundings.
It's exhilarating, making you want to grab your sword, mount your horse, and charge back and forth in battle.
Before Ailin, who was lying in the bathtub, could react, the strange phenomenon suddenly appeared and then suddenly disappeared.
This... this... accepting a Main Quest with such a grand air.
Ailin immediately sat up straight and became serious.
He seems to have underestimated the task.
The text in the quest log remains the same, but at the top of the Witcher's Handbook, in addition to the character, item, and Monster Bestiary, there is an additional tab.
"Legion!"
Ailin instinctively read the words aloud and quickly opened the app.
Legion Name: Unnamed
[Rank: First Rank]
Members: 0/5
The latter half of the Legion panel was obscured by a thick black fog, and it should be unlocked after completing the Main Quest.
The black and red icon stands out from the other labels, seemingly scorched by war.
Ailin suddenly felt that there seemed to be something wrong with his understanding of the Witcher's Handbook.
The exaggerated special effects and unique icon styles in the past all indicate that Legion Demon Hunting is the main theme of Witcher's Handbook.
so.
"Have I actually been using the Witcher's Handbook incorrectly all along?"
Ailin muttered to himself, then shook his head.
To unlock the main storyline, one must be recognized by the faction leader—something he couldn't have done before the Trial of the Mountains.
However, to resolve the crisis of the School of the Wolf's demise, it will inevitably have to resort to building up its own power base.
Unlocking the Legion main storyline is just a matter of time.
After figuring it out, his anticipation for the newly unlocked features instantly grew.
The additional functions are already so powerful.
What kind of enhancement will the "Legion" bring to him and the School of the Wolf?
"The three members have completed their mission. Huus, Bont, and Fred are here. I'll go find them tomorrow morning."
After the arrangements were finalized, Ailin gradually recovered from the shock and joy brought by the new features.
Only then did he realize that the water had gotten a little cold.
"Splash!"
Emerging from the bathtub, he casually Igni Sign.
"Sizzle~"
On a body with clearly defined muscles, the surface moisture is quickly evaporated by the heat.
As he put on the silk robe, he mentally used the Heart Essence Fluid of four Ghoul and the Heart Essence Fluid of Swamp Hag.
[Attributes: Strength 26 (+1), Agility 24 (+2), Constitution 31, Perception 18, Mysticism 30]
The Heart Essence Fluid the four Ghoul ' hearts increased Ailin's power slightly.
Four doses of Swamp Hag's Heart Essence Fluid added two points to Agility.
Although it wasn't much, the subtle increase in power was invigorating.
It's just a minor monster, so we can't expect too much.
However, the Swamp Hag, despite being of such a high level, only provided the same stat boosts as ordinary monsters, making Ailin vaguely feel that he had been ripped off by the intermediary, the Witcher's Handbook.
Unfortunately, he only had one recipe for the Water Demon Heart Essence Fluid, and he couldn't control the monster's heart from being removed after the battle.
"I guess it's because the character ratings on the character panel aren't high enough," Ailin thought to himself.
He then turned his attention to the treasure chests he had collected that day.
[Treasure Chests: Swamp Hag's Chest *5, Drowner's Chest *5]
"They're all easy monsters, so I won't make a special trip to the apprentice dormitory."
[Ding! Drowner's Chest *5 opened]
As soon as he finished speaking, five white lights flashed by.
Ailin's heart skipped a beat.
[Ding! Obtained: Rotten Flesh*5]
"Rotten flesh is useful! Rotten flesh is useful!"
"Just consider it a probability gauging statistic! Just consider it a probability gauging statistic!"
He closed his eyes to comfort himself and continued opening treasure chests.
[Ding! Ghoul's Chest *3 opened]
Three more white lights flashed by.
[Ding! Obtained: Rotten Flesh*3]
This time, Ailin did not continue driving.
"Eight unboxings in a row, and every single one is white. Isn't that a bit too much?"
Although the probability of this happening is not nonexistent, Ailin just felt that something was not quite right.
This is an intuition.
His performance during tonight's unboxing session was abnormal.
Could it be an illusion?
"How about we start it at the apprentice dormitory tomorrow?"
As he pondered, Ailin's pupils suddenly dilated as a possibility appeared in his mind.
Could it be...?
Is it because that Evil God is watching me?
It's not impossible; the original story does indeed include a plot where someone is cursed for offending a god.
The power of fate is inextricably linked to the gods.
This was truly the most terrible curse for him!
The more Ai thought about it, the more likely it seemed, but how could this situation be resolved?
It will take at least a month to reach the palace of the true god...
Etc!
True God?
Ailin quickly walked to the wooden table and picked up the Goddess Meritellie's Amulet.
Worried that getting the amulet wet would render it ineffective, Ailin placed it on the table before taking a bath.
After quickly putting on the amulet, the barely perceptible discomfort seemed to disappear instantly.
"Efficient!"
Ailin's eyes lit up.
[Ding! Swamp Hag's Chest *5 opened]
