How to Resist the Threat of Destruction

After leaving the cave by Killer Lake, I went to the Circle of Elements again.

It was already evening when we returned to the Ancient Sea Fortress.

As for the Giant Drowner's body, Ailin did not bring it back.

Encountering a rare, large monster once or twice could be considered a coincidence.

If this happens a few more times, even a fool would know there's a problem.

The Conjunction of the Spheres is his core secret.

He didn't intend to reveal his strength until he reached the level of the chief.

therefore,

After pondering for a moment in the cave, he dragged the Giant Drowner's corpse to the Big Stone and the others.

In exchange for nine pieces of rotten flesh, ask them to find a place to hide.

The Rock Troll ' camp is at a high altitude and covered in snow all year round; Giant Drowner's corpse could remain there for a year or two without decaying.

You can also have more contact with Big Stone and the others, find excuses to send them rotten flesh, and increase their favorability.

Judging from the reluctant looks on the faces of the Big Stone, Broken Stone, and Little Stone as he left, it was clear that Ailin's strategy was very successful.

I estimate that after sending two or three more times of rotten flesh, we can try asking for blood.

"Unfortunately Circle of Elements is like the Magic Zone in the game. The magic has clearly formed into a dazzling galaxy, but it cannot be absorbed to reduce the cooldown time of the Conjunction of the Spheres."

As he thought about this, he unlocked the door to his residence.

Upon returning, Ailin bathed and changed his clothes, then took the Goddess Meritellie from his chest and held it tightly.

"May the Goddess Meritellie bless me!"

After silently praying, I opened the treasure chest with my mind.

[Ding! Giant Drowner's Chest *4]

White, blue, white, white—four beams of light flashed by.

"Well, it seems Goddess Meritellie isn't home today," Ailin said with a self-deprecating laugh.

[Rewards: Experience Orbs *3, Giant Drowner Heart Essence Fluid *1]

Well, it's not a loss...

Including the nine Experience Orbs obtained from the raid's conclusion, the experience gained from this raid alone is equivalent to 1200 Lesser Experience Orbs.

Xiao Xiao recovered a wave of health from the ritual.

In addition, Heart Essence Fluid of two large monsters.

All things considered, the gains were quite good.

Hunting large monsters is definitely more profitable.

After reflecting on his experience, Ailin did not hesitate and used two Giant Drowner Heart Essence Fluid in succession.

The cold liquid went down my throat.

A vigorous chill, mixed with a heavy feeling, spread instantly upon entering the stomach, washing over the body with a slightly irritating urge.

It integrates into every cell and into every bone.

A powerful surge of energy coursed through his limbs and bones, and the Mutated Organ next to his heart seemed to be growing.

Ah~

Ailin shuddered and couldn't help but let out a soft, comfortable gasp.

In a few seconds, he absorbed both bottles of Essence Fluid.

Open the character panel with your mind.

[Attributes: Strength 31 (+5), Agility 29 (+5), Constitution 34 (+3), Perception 27 (+3), Mysticism 40 (+10)]

[Affinity: Water 7 (+2), Earth 3 (+2)]

Although the attribute boost is far less than that of the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid, the Elemental Affinity of the Giant Drowner is twice as much.

The size and power of the Ice Lance Spell have been greatly increased.

The toothpick moved one step closer to the real ice spear, as thick as the Drowners King's thigh.

"It's a pity that I don't have any Earth Element skills yet, so I can't use my three points of earth Elemental Affinity."

Ailin sighed with some regret, then went to bed and fell asleep.

After hunting down the Giant Drowner, Ailin's life returned to normal.

Since he no longer needed to study rituals, he persuaded Vesemir with an excuse and devoted almost all his time to the Witcher Company.

A few days ago, Ailin asked Vesemir and the Sorceress about the strength of King Kedwen and Ban Aard Academy.

Neither of them had paid attention to King Kedwen's military strength, so they were unaware of it.

However, after Ailin's attributes improved, she vaguely remembered reading the original Witcher book several times in her previous life.

Lord Niedamir of Kedwen, a vassal state of Cangon, has a personal guard of three hundred cavalry and fifteen hundred infantry.

Even the vassal states are so powerful.

As the largest of the four northern kingdoms, Kedwen's strength is self-evident. At the very least, the king's personal guard cavalry would number no less than a thousand, and the number of infantry would be countless.

certainly.

King Haxor of Kedwen was a warlike and greedy man who not only had conflicts with the Elves, but also had territorial disputes with his two neighbors Ard and Riedania, so his actual available forces were certainly not that many.

but.

There are sixty officially registered witchers in Kaer Morhen, including the four of them, including Ailin and his companions.

Among them were even a dozen or so who were disabled and unable to fight.

The difference in combat power between the two is simply despairing!

Moreover, this doesn't even include the male wizards of Ban Ade Academy.

"Henry Gedimidis, the headmaster of Ban Ade, is the most powerful wizard in the world." These were the Sorceress's exact words.

She didn't mention other wizards, but it's likely there were more than in the School of the Wolf.

But then again, these two powerful forces, after going through so many twists and turns, are only dealing with a school of thought with fewer than a hundred members.

There must be something they're worried about.

For example, reputation.

For centuries, witchers have rid the human world of demons and saved countless lives.

This is no longer the time in the game when there are only a handful of Witchers left who can be slandered at will.

The smear campaign against witchers has only been going on for a short time. From commoners to nobles, most people remember them for their sacrifices in fighting evil and upholding justice.

therefore.

Declaring war directly on an organization like the School of the Wolf would cause enormous damage to its reputation.

And the loss of reputation,

To the king, they were political enemies, restless nobles, and a force to be reckoned with during a mob uprising.

For Ban Ade Academy, it is the source of students, the rejection by nobles, the disgust of the people, and the scapegoat when monsters run rampant.

This crucial point was something Ailin came up with after sorting through his thoughts for many days.

So even though the king and Ban Ade had decided to get rid of Kaer Morhen, they could only do so secretly.

For the School of the Wolf, this is a chance for survival.

therefore.

The solution to the predicament was found.

on the one hand.

Witcher Company.

The Essence Fluid of the water demon has enabled seven apprentices to pass the Trial of Grasses, nearly one-tenth of the current Witchers.

As time goes on, with zero mortality in the Trial of Grasses, the number of casualties will only increase.

However, their combat strength is definitely far inferior to that of experienced witchers. They can't even deal with a single cavalryman. Having more witchers like this would be of no use.

Therefore, he needs to upgrade the legion as soon as possible to unlock more member slots.

Use the Legion skill [Teach] to upgrade skills, and [Loot Lock] to obtain Experience Orbs, Essence Fluid, and treasure chests.

so.

The speed at which newly recruited Witchers improve their strength, even if they can't keep up with Ailin, is enough to surpass most ordinary Witchers in the shortest amount of time.

on the other hand.

Find an opportunity to observe the king's attitude through the Apprentice Combat Tournament between the School of the Wolf and the School of the Cat.

While the School of the Wolf's stance is uncompromising, it can be disguised as a small snake, and even without coercion, a wolf can be a viper.

This will buy time for the Witcher Company to develop.

However, there is a major problem here.

After he left Kaer Morhen to participate in the apprentice tournament...

What should be done about the Witcher Company of the Ancient Sea Fortress?
