The Lone Wolf Dies; the Pack Survives

Huus, Fred, and Bont drank the Essence Fluid bottle by bottle.

Ailin opened the Legion interface with his mind and searched for a while, but couldn't find the invitation prompt.

That shouldn't be happening!

Which games have a team-up function but no team-up invitation?

Ailin went through every screen in the Witcher's Handbook again, but still couldn't find any word related to invitations.

"Do I need a verbal invitation?" he wondered.

then.

Ailin had no choice but to bite the bullet and ask:

"With the Chief's approval, I've established a school of Witcher Company... Hmm... Would you like to join?"

Huus and the others paused for a moment, holding the Essence Fluid, and asked hesitantly:

"The Witcher Company? Or did you found it?"

Ailin nodded, looked at the three of them seriously, and said:

"I can't go into details now, but the school is facing a major crisis, and the Witcher Company was established to deal with this crisis."

Huus, Bont, and Fred looked at each other, and after a moment, they couldn't help but get excited.

"Join! Join!"

"Ailin, we'll definitely join your Witcher Company!"

"Yeah yeah!"

As Ailin expected, all three agreed.

However, the Main Quest remains unchanged, and the number of members in the legion interface is still zero.

Just then.

The familiar System Notification rang out.

"Ding! Please use the [Demon Hunter] skill to invite legion members."

Demon hunter?

Ailin paused for a moment, and the scene of his first encounter with the Drowners King suddenly flashed into his mind.

When he hid behind the rock wall and entered his demon-hunting state, he could subtly influence Vesemir's movements as he dodged attacks.

Moreover, the demon-hunting progress will increase every time the Drowners King is hit.

so.

Was that the correct way to use the Demon Hunter skill?

"So the Witcher's Handbook had already hinted at my true core, but I just didn't notice," Ailin thought to himself.

After thinking it through, he no longer hesitated.

Demon Hunter!

The moment the skill is used.

Time seemed to slow its relentless flow.

In Demon Hunter mode, the Divine Power originally used to sense the aura of monsters and increase the progress bar of a critical hit extends outward.

In a moment, it enveloped Huus, Bont, and Fred.

[Ding! Huus, Bont, and Fred have been locked in. Proceed with the Legion recruitment?]

Yes!

Ailin made a swift choice with his mind.

"Um?"

Huus, Bont, and Fred suddenly turned to look at Ailin at the same time.

They were somewhat frightened to find him so unfamiliar.

Cold and aloof.

Those deep blue vertical pupils resembled the eyes of a high and mighty god.

Life and death flow in those eyes.

"Ai... Ailin?"

Huus swallowed hard and weakly called out.

"What's wrong?"

The moment Ailin responded.

The strange feeling disappeared, and in an instant, Ailin became the person they trusted again.

Everything that just happened seems to have been an illusion.

"N-nothing!"

Huus chuckled dryly, thinking he must have misread it, and turned back to continue digesting the potion.

After scratching their heads in confusion, Bont and Fred joined in.

Ailin glanced at them curiously a few times, but didn't pay them any mind.

He then focused his mind on the Witcher's Handbook.

[Ding! Main Quest complete: The Beginning of the Monster Hunting Legion (Invite a Demon Hunter to join the Legion 3/3)]

[Reward Received: Monster Hunting Legion]

"Call!"

Ailin breathed a sigh of relief and excitedly switched the interface to the Legion interface.

Legion Name: Unnamed

[Rank: First Rank]

[Status: 0/100]

Members: 3/5

Loyalty: Huus 100 (die-hard), Bont 96, Fred 92

[Skills: Loot Lock LV1, Teach (Unlocked at Appraisal LV2)]

[Ding! Quest detected: Demon Hunter I (Hunt 0/20 of any monster) Accept?]

[Reward: 20 Combat Points]

Battle record should be the legion's experience, which is obtained by hunting monsters. Once it reaches 100, it should be able to advance to the next rank.

After the rank is upgraded, the maximum number of members will definitely increase, but it is unknown whether new functions or new skills will be introduced.

As for skills...

[Loot Lock]

[Level: 1]

[Type: Legion Skill]

[Effect: Legion Hunt, the lowest possible rating after the raid is locked at D.]

Wow!

This skill means that no matter how low the level of the monster being hunted is, as long as it is hunted in the form of a legion, the final evaluation will only be reduced to D at the very least.

In other words, each hunt will yield at least three Lesser Experience Orbs / Experience Orbs and two treasure chests.

As expected, the main function of the Witcher's Handbook is to build legions.

He had sensed something was wrong before.

The Witcher's Handbook, judging from its name, is a system that encourages the hunting of monsters.

As a result, the rewards for killing Lesser Monsters decreased sharply after the character's level increased.

Ailin now kills ordinary water ghosts, sometimes without even giving them Essence Fluid.

If there's no reward for risking your life, who would be willing to kill those little monsters?

This explains the passive effect of the legion.

Before unlocking the legion, the host's strength is increased by hunting monsters in order to prevent the host from dying easily.

Suppressing levels is to prevent the host from stealing monsters after unlocking the legion, and to actively cultivate more elite demon hunters.

at the same time.

It features a bonus point for winning with fewer troops and entices the host to actively challenge powerful enemies, preventing them from slacking off in strength due to the legion.

"Witcher's Handbook, you're good at management!" Ailin couldn't help but secretly praise him.

Continue reading...

Although it's unclear why Legion skills are related to Appraisal.

However, after glancing at the unlock restrictions after the tutorial, Ailin still didn't hesitate to put his remaining Special Skill point into Appraisal.

[Ding! Your skill: Appraisal LV1 has been upgraded to Appraisal LV2]

At the same time, the effects of skill transfer also become apparent.

[teach]

[Level: 1]

[Type: Legion Skill]

[Active Effect: Consuming Combat Points can increase a member's skill experience at a 1:1 ratio.]

[Passive Effect: During combat, members' combat skill experience will increase due to the leader's influence.]

Um?

Can Combat Points be used to upgrade members' skill experience?

Etc!

Can I check the skill level now that Appraisal LV2?

Ailin quickly used an identification on Huus.

[Name: Huus]

Loyalty: 100

[Attributes: Strength 8 (+1), Agility 7.6, Constitution 11.4 (+2), Perception 8.4, Mysticism 4.3]

[Skills: School of the Wolf Two-Handed Sword LV1 (3/100), Quen LV1 (1/100)...]

It's finally watchable.

Furthermore, loyalty has been added.

However, the experience points are really quite low.

Although Huus ' skill level during the Trial of Grasses is unknown.

However, despite Huus's diligent sword training, he only gained 3 experience points in a month, which is truly unbelievable.

This aligns well with the characteristics of Long-lived race Witchers; if one lacks talent, the improvement of each skill takes years.

In fact, Ailin's own training pace was about the same.

So after trying for a few days and lamenting why my system wasn't a proficiency system, I gave up and just started leveling up with Experience Orbs.

After casually accepting the quest, Ailin closed the Legion panel.

"By the way, Ailin."

"What's the name of our Witcher Company? Is it just the School of the Wolf Witcher Company?"

After digesting the Essence Fluid, Huus suddenly asked curiously.

Upon hearing this, Bont and Fred also looked at Ailin.

Ailin paused, recalling the current predicament facing the School of the Wolf, and after a moment of contemplation, raised his head and said seriously:

"A lone wolf dies but a pack of wolves survives."

"Let's call the Pact of the Wolves Pact of the Wolves Witcher Company!"
