This World No Longer Needs Witchers
"Lying down..."
Ailin only said half of the exclamation before immediately correcting himself.
"Goddess, please forgive me, Goddess, please forgive me..."
His words were sincere and heartfelt.
After a flash of golden light, came a purple light.
Following closely behind was another golden light and two blue lights.
Double yolk egg!
And it's even more double-yolked than the last double-yolked egg!
"Goddess Meritellie!"
"From now on, I'm your fanatic!"
Ailin clenched his fist excitedly and couldn't help but shout.
The sincerity in his tone was probably rare even among Meritellie's followers.
After a flash of golden light, everything went black before his eyes.
A Swamp Hag appeared in the center of their line of sight.
Without any visible movement from the monster, it slowly transformed into an oval-shaped, red-on-the-outside, green-on-the-inside gelatinous substance.
Then.
This gelatinous substance, which looks a lot like a cell and resembles cell division, slowly turned into two identical ones.
"It looks somewhat familiar."
Ailin thought to himself.
Then, before he could think it through, a purple light flashed.
A pale, bone-like bracelet appeared before his eyes.
A few seconds later, a blue, water-like luster flashed across the bracelet.
Suddenly, a mass of mud took shape, hovering directly above the bracelet, and shot fiercely towards Ailin.
He didn't even blink at such a low-level intimidation tactic.
"The Swamp Hag's mud-throwing magic!"
Based on this unboxing animation, Ailin could easily guess the effect of the magic.
The mud disappeared after it hit the ground.
Another golden light flashed by.
After a brief period of darkness, the red-on-the-outside, green-on-the-inside "cell" reappeared.
Slowly.
The "cells" turned dark red, somewhat like melted chocolate.
Subsequently,
It slowly turned into a piece of parchment.
[Ding! Obtained Swamp Hag Mutagen Inducer *1, Swamp Hag's Mire-Throwing Bone Chain *1, Swamp Hag Decoction Formula *1, Experience Orbs *2]
Looking at the settlement notification, Ailin felt like he'd been tricked by the Witcher's Handbook.
Is the Swamp Hag's Mutant Inducer also considered a gold-quality item?
Moreover, the Swamp Hag Decoction requires the use of Swamp Hag Mutagen Inducer.
Potions like Killer Whale need to be prepared repeatedly; they can't be automatically replenished like in games where you can just sit in meditation and use up a bottle of Universal Solvent.
Does that mean that after consuming one bottle of Swamp Hag Decoction each time, he still needs to desperately open Swamp Hag's Chest to obtain mutation inducers?
Thinking about this, Ailin felt a little worried.
Then he shook his head and used his mind to open his inventory to check it out.
[Title: The Swamp Hag's Mire-Throwing Bone Chain]
[Type: Magical Item]
[Function: Uses magic to activate the bone chains, releasing a mass of sludge with a blinding effect.]
[Note: Have you thought of any combo moves?]
The prop's effect was roughly what he expected.
Although the Swamp Hag's mud-throwing skill may not look impressive, it is indeed a very useful skill.
It has low magical fluctuations, fast casting speed, rapid flight speed, and excellent stealth.
It can be used as a preemptive spell, just like the Ice Lance Spell, to blind the enemy.
Next, look down.
[Name: Swamp Hag Mutagen Inducer]
[Type: Mutation Inducer]
[Function: Splits once a week, with a chance to obtain Swamp Hag Mutagen Inducer and Weak Red/Green Mutant Inducer]
[Note: You can think of this as a type of cell division.]
That's more like it!
Ailin breathed a sigh of relief; this was in line with the gold quality.
With this, he only needs to wait and then collect other common materials to prepare the decoction.
Absolutely perfect!
Moreover, it can also generate red-green weak mutagenic agents.
He hadn't found any mutation triggers in the monster corpses, and he was worried about what to do with the potion recipes he might need.
It turns out that these three primary color mutation inducers are just byproducts.
Just as Ailin had a false alarm.
The Royal Palace of Ad Kalai.
The King's Study.
"Did those stray cats offer a price?"
Haxor casually tossed the slightly blood-stained white silk onto the plate.
In the blink of an eye.
The silk was stained scarlet by the blood in the plate.
Haxor likes his steak rare.
He was captivated by the pleasure of tearing and chewing flesh with a rusty taste in his mouth.
I can't stop.
"It's open, Father."
A tall, imposing figure emerged from behind the wooden screen behind Haxor and answered respectfully.
Although the man's physique differed greatly from that of Haxor, a faint resemblance could be seen in their facial features.
Haxor fiddled with the blood-stained silk on the plate and asked, "What's the price?"
"One wolf cub costs 100 Oren..."
"What else?" Haxor continued casually.
"Old Wolf, 500 Oren." The man paused, then continued, "As for experienced Old Wolves and Alpha Wolves, the Wildcats are very resistant and haven't offered any."
After hearing this, Haxor thought for a moment, then tapped the table with his index finger and said:
"500 for each wolf cub, but I want those freaks to kill the cubs using the same methods they use on the old wolves."
The man looked up in surprise at Haxor and said:
"Father, isn't this giving too much?"
Haxor smiled dismissively and lectured:
"Rado, it's tolerable for cubs to be killed by other cubs; it's something we can compromise on."
"Were they tortured to death by the old man?"
"I don't need to pay the old wolf and the alpha wolf at all; they will still have to fight until the blood flows like a river."
The young man immediately understood and looked at Haxor with admiration.
But after a moment's thought, a hint of hesitation flashed across his face, and he said:
"Father, are those wild cats really that stupid?"
"Ha! A bunch of money-grubbing lunatics, they don't think that far ahead." Haxor scoffed. "Besides, cats and wolves have a deep-seated grudge, even if they did think about it, they wouldn't care."
"Let's not talk about this anymore. Cats and wolves are just trivial matters!"
Before he finished speaking, Haxor waved to his attendants.
"Da~Da~Da~"
Amidst the sound of footsteps, the servants cleared away the leftover food on the table and then left the study one after another.
"Bang!"
The heavy door was closed.
The study suddenly fell silent.
"Have those elves been found?" Haxor broke the silence.
"They've already been sent to Ban Ade. The dean wrote that it shouldn't be long before they can capture them."
"Hmm." Haxor nodded, then lowered his head and pondered something.
The study immediately fell silent again.
until...
"Father, do we really have to destroy the School of the Wolf?" The young man's expression was conflicted. "I heard that, besides the School of the Griffin, they are the most in line with the chivalrous spirit..."
"Smack!"
Haxor slammed his fist on the table and roared, "Nonsense!"
"The code of chivalry has never bound us, who have noble blood flowing through our veins... Who is your tutor now? Did your mother find him for you?"
Enraged, Haxor's face was contorted with bulging veins, making him look particularly ferocious.
The young man was so frightened that he shrank back abruptly and said:
"Yes...it is Dysen from Toussaint, he was indeed hired by my mother."
" From Toussaint? No wonder!"
Haxor shook his head, looked at the young man whose face had turned pale with fright, sighed, and said:
"Rado!"
"You must remember, to become a qualified king..."
"You can be greedy, lustful, tyrannical, and even commit all kinds of evil, but you must never be compassionate or be misled by the five virtues of chivalry!"
The young man's face clearly showed confusion after hearing these words.
"Still too young..." Hark sighed inwardly upon seeing this, softened his tone, and continued to explain:
"Furthermore, it's not that we want to eliminate the School of the Wolf."
"It's not that the world no longer needs witchers!"
