Mutation Formula
After gazing at the sunset for a long time, Ailin lowered his head and continued listening.
"In the dilapidated castle, facing ferocious demons..."
"In a shabby inn, facing a despicable witcher..."
"In the abandoned mine, facing the Rock Troll..."
"Again in Ban Ade, we encountered the Conjunction of the Spheres and the Black Sun Curse, and were besieged by so many monsters..."
"Ailin, have you ever been afraid?"
I'm scared, maybe a little bit...
Ailin thought to himself.
However, after being a witcher for so long, he has become more and more accustomed to his current life.
Moreover, compared to the future of the school's demise and the suffering of relatives and friends.
This is just a normal emotional fluctuation.
in addition.
Did Lady Vesemir go into such detail?
Although some of the events were described as rather tragic, she recounted every detail of his journey to Mary.
Normally, when Sorceress deal with Mary, they can just use a stun spell and then leave without saying a word, right?
Ailin was somewhat surprised.
"When Lady Vesemir was telling the story, I was both scared and envious."
"Life in Kaer Morhen is so boring. All I do every day is concoct the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid and read books..."
"I long to go on adventures with you, to fight all sorts of monsters together..."
"Ailin, next time you go out, could you ask Lady Vesemir to let you bring your chief Sorceress along?"
"Lady Vesemir listens to you the most."
"She'll definitely agree as soon as you ask!"
"I don't have that much face..." Ailin clicked his tongue.
And since Mary and he are both gone, who will help keep an eye on the Witcher Company?
However, after the curse is lifted, you can lead your army to hunt monsters around Kaer Morhen and improve the strength of your members.
At that time, if Mary were brought along, Lady Vesemir probably wouldn't have any objections.
"Oh right, right, I almost forgot about the important matter."
"Another batch of Witcher apprentices has reached the standard of the Trial of Grasses."
"Lady Vesemir asked me to ask you what your plans are for these apprentices?"
"Should we proceed directly to the trial?"
"Should we continue training and wait until you return before taking the White Gull Potion?"
"Last but not least, the silver jewelry made by the nuns of the Temple of Melitele is very famous. Could you help me pick one out?"
"Waiting for a response..."
"Ms. Mary, the chief sorceress of the Wolf Pack."
"The twelfth day of the Azure Sun."
Azure Sun...
The little girl is quite particular.
Ailin chuckled softly.
The way the lovebirds transmit messages is similar to voice chat in my previous life; each message is played out in my mind.
It's even more convenient than that.
You can control the pause, rewind, or speed up/decelerate functions with your mind.
Very human-centered.
However, when Mary used the lovebird, she would always send it to him in a very formal, letter-like format.
Even the dates were in the Elder Speech deliberately used by high society.
It's actually quite cute.
(Bi Ri Ke means the month of the vernal equinox in ancient Chinese. The twelfth day of Bi Ri Ke is actually the twelfth day after the Vernal Equinox, which is April 2.)
"Chirp~ Chirp~"
After the message was transmitted, the lovebird tilted its delicate little neck and chirped softly twice.
It was urging the Witcher to reply as soon as possible.
After a moment of contemplation, Ailin carefully considered his words.
He didn't care about the Half-elf matters, and according to Sadia, there was no need to do anything unnecessary.
Just train them according to the normal Witcher apprenticeship process.
Mary and Aristo did a good job training the Witcher Company trainees, and there seemed to be nothing he needed to do.
At most, you can pass on the newly acquired White Honey and swallow potion recipes to Mary.
Let her figure it out herself and then teach it to the members of the corps.
Oh, right!
Formula!
The recipe for Ghoul Heart Essence Fluid can also be passed on to Mary.
Without his hands-on instruction...
It would take Mary at least ten days to half a month to learn this recipe.
Wasn't she just bored?
It's good to find her something to do.
Moreover, several members of the legion have already consumed twenty doses of the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid, reaching its maximum value, which allows them to connect with the ground.
Twenty portions of Ghoul Heart Essence Fluid, totaling five points of strength, were added.
Every member of the legion can definitely reach 15 points in strength attribute.
After he goes back.
Then you can start improving their swordsmanship and spell sign levels without wasting time.
We could also ask Lady Vesemir to experiment and see if there's anything similar to the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid's Ghoul Heart Essence Fluid...
The hidden side effects include replenishing stamina, eliminating the side effects of mushroom soup, and increasing the success rate of the Trial of Grasses.
As for those apprentices who can undergo the Trial of Grasses...
Those who can undergo trials should do so as soon as possible.
Once he is freed from the curse and returns, he will join the previous batch of legion members in the trials.
After clarifying his thoughts, Ailin lowered his head slightly and rested the lovebird against his forehead again.
He carefully chose his words, praising "Mrs. Mary, the chief sorcerer of the Witcher Corps" a few more times, and promised that "he would teach Aresto a lesson when he returned." Then he was about to release the lovebird.
At this moment.
Out of the corner of his eye, he suddenly noticed two male wizards on the ground, and a flash of inspiration struck him.
"Since these two male witches are neither suitable to be killed nor can they be released, why not just imprison them in Kaer Morhen?"
The more Ailin thought about it, the better he felt it was.
He was originally inclined to kill Thomas Maul.
Based on his experience with the Witcher's Inn attack by the School of the Cat, Ailin figured that killing a male witch should also drop some kind of "Witch's Memories".
Perhaps it can unlock memories related to Second Mutation.
The Second Mutation was very important to him and to the school of thought.
At least in the game, Geralt before and after his Second Mutation Second Mutation are practically two different people in terms of strength.
It also gave rise to a powerful and unique style called "Bone-Piercing Wolf".
Ailin couldn't even imagine it.
At this point, the chief was already able to easily strip three large monsters of their attack capabilities within one or two minutes.
What if there's a Second Mutation?
How strong will he be?
One man against Ban Ade?
Or is he a one-man army?
On Kaer Morhen, there are six equally powerful Witcher Master.
If all of them undergo Second Mutation.
Ailin even thought that even if Thomas Molu did say it, and Ban Ade attacked Kaer Morhen at the end of the year...
The School of the Wolf faced little resistance.
Therefore, for the current School of the Wolf, obtaining Second Mutation is simply the fastest way to enhance the school's strength.
Actually, when he first came down the mountain, he had the idea of going to Toussaint to find Thomas Molu's Second Mutation laboratory.
But reality is not a game.
He wasn't sure if Tomas Morra actually existed in this world.
Even if it exists.
Did he experiment with a method of Second Mutation?
But now.
Knowing that the bespectacled wizard is Thomas Morru, who has a child from the School of the Griffin, and that even the raw material for Second Mutation like the White Widow has appeared.
The method of Second Mutation is almost a certainty.
The key now is how to obtain this experimental method from Thomas Morlu, who is extremely hostile to Witchers.
Killing someone to unlock memories is risky, but you can wait until there's no other way before taking the gamble.
Perhaps we should ask Lady Vesemir to take them back to Kaer Morhen first, so we can brainstorm together. Who knows, the chief and the Sorceress might have some good ideas?
With that in mind, Ailin no longer hesitated.
The mind inputs the events of today into the lovebird.
The crystal-clear bird blinked its obsidian-like eyes, nuzzled his face, and then flew into the sky.
"Now all we have to do is wait..."
Ailin let out a sigh of relief and looked away.
"Click~"
"Click~"
The crisp sound of bones cracking echoed through the oak forest.
"I almost forgot, some sorcerers with peculiar ideas can still cast spells with their feet even if their hands are tied."
After dislocating Thomas Morru and Macaque's legs, Ailin took some ropes and tied the two wizards' hands and feet together.
It looks like a wild boar that has been tied up at a winter carnival in Kaer Morhen.
"Slap slap~"
Brushing off imaginary dust from his hands, Ailin looked at his masterpiece with satisfaction.
Turning his head to look at the campsite, he found that Vesemir and his men had almost finished their work.
"Let's use up the Essence Fluid and the treasure chest now before going to help out at the camp!"
The mind opens the Witcher's Handbook.
[Inventory: White Widow's Heart Essence Fluid *4, White Widow '@#￥%&'s Chest *4, Experience Orbs *136, Lesser Experience Orbs *24...]
Ailin immediately spotted the 136 Experience Orbs, which were equivalent to 13,600 Lesser Experience Orbs, totaling 136,000 experience points.
One hundred of them are from "Hunting Mission: Water Ghost II".
Ailin prefers to add points to Blink, hoping that by leveling up it, he can upgrade it to have a long-distance teleportation effect similar to a portal.
This made it convenient for him to lead his troops to various places to kill monsters and level up.
However, since the Evil God's curse has not been lifted, adding points won't make it usable.
To prevent any unforeseen events along the way, he planned to wait until Arland to have the curse lifted before upgrading.
actually.
With Ailin's current strength, which allows her to hunt the Drowners King solo, she shouldn't need to use Experience Orbs to level up during normal travels.
[Ding! Use White Widow's Heart Essence Fluid?]
As usual, start with the Essence Fluid.
A thought arose.
A thick, cool liquid, resembling egg white, slid down my throat.
A few seconds later.
A warm current slowly spread from her stomach, like water soaking paper, nourishing Ailin's body.
"Whoa!"
"It's quite comfortable!"
Ailin narrowed his eyes.
Open the character panel with your mind.
Name: Ailin
Age: 14
[Level: 45]
[HP: 100%, Stamina: 370/370, MP: 530/530]
[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 37, Constitution 37 (+2), Perception 35, Mysticism 53]
Physical fitness increased by two points...
The extent of the attribute enhancement is within the normal range.
However, after taking it, the experience was unlike any other Heart Essence Fluid —it was gentle and mild.
Ailin felt that even a Witcher apprentice, or even an ordinary person, could handle it.
"It seems that in addition to the Second Mutation, we also need to ask Thomas Molu about the methods of White Widow mutation and breeding."
Ailin seemed to be deep in thought, and mentally controlled himself to consume the remaining three portions of the White Widow's Heart Essence.
A wave of comforting warmth swept away the fatigue from several days of travel.
[Attributes: Strength 42, Agility 37, Constitution 43 (+6), Perception 35, Mysticism 53]
"Phew~"
After letting out a long breath.
Take the amulet, pray, and with a thought...
[Ding! White Widow '@#￥%&'s Chest *4 has been opened]
Four beams of light flashed: one white, two blue, and one gold.
However, this time, the gold-quality @#￥%&'s Chest did not have a cutscene.
There is only one image of a reclusive wizard wearing glasses being surrounded by a crowd.
Those people were all wearing red robes that symbolized status and position.
[Rewards: Experience Orbs *1, White Widow's Heart Essence Fluid *2, White Widow Mutation Formula *1]
Um?
Gold!
Mutant Recipe!!!
Without Thomas Molu, the formula for Second Mutation was directly prescribed!
Ailin's breathing suddenly became heavy, and he quickly opened his inventory.
[Name: White Widow Mutation Formula]
[Type: Subject Knowledge]
[Requirements: Xenogeneic Mutagenesis LV8, Alchemy LV5]
[Function: Complete recipe and breeding instructions for mutating Giant Centipede into White Widow.]
[Note: Thomas Maurice's proudest masterpiece was the mutation of Giant Centipede eggs into Insectoid Creature he personally named the White Widow, which was the culmination of his life's wisdom.]
He was also praised by the Society of Talents and Arts, the highest authority of the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, for this achievement.
If Thomas Maurice hadn't refused and hadn't been held back by his obsessive madness, he wouldn't have been able to proceed.
He may become one of the next five most powerful people in the wizarding world.
He wasn't a good father, but he was definitely a top-notch researcher.
Not Second Mutation?
After looking at the functions on the panel, Ailin was somewhat disappointed.
He thought he could obtain the formula for the Second Mutation without Thomas Moru's cooperation.
Since there was still a chance to win, he composed himself, overcome his disappointment, and continued looking down.
The notes on the White Widow Mutation Formula were definitely the longest notes he had ever seen.
but.
It's just a mutation recipe that turns one monster into another, so why is it rated so highly?
Not only did it surpass the Second Mutation, but it also became Thomas Maul's proudest work...
Forehead...
This is not surprising, after all, his original goal was to transform his child from a witcher into a normal person.
but.
This achievement can be recognized by the Talent and Skill Association, the highest authority in the wizarding world.
It even gave Thomas Morlu the ability to compete for some of the most powerful positions in the Northern wizarding world.
This demonstrates its high value.
So what's so special about the White Widow's mutant formula?
Ailin felt a tingling curiosity in her heart, like a kitten scratching at her heart.
certainly...
Shift your gaze upwards.
Matching the extreme praise in the notes is the extremely high requirement for learning this recipe.
Alchemy LV5 is alright, it just takes some experience.
He had never seen a skill at the level of LV8 in Xenogeneic Mutagenesis before.
After a moment of silence, Ailin glanced at the unconscious Thomas Morru and felt somewhat lost.
"Is this so-called White Widow mutation formula really worth the huge price I have to pay to learn it?"
