A Means Beyond Limits! Hope for a Second Mutation!

Yes, although Ailin didn't know why killing Ronnie Deakins yielded the Vessel of Great Deeds instead of the Warlock's Arts.

How did the Witcher's Handbook extract the mysterious and Vessel of Great Deeds from Vesemir's mouth from a male sorcerer's body?

But he did indeed have such a Vessel of Great Deeds.

Moreover, the process of creating the Vessel of Great Deeds is basically clear and straightforward, except for the specific details. As things stand, he doesn't seem to need the Ronnie Deakins Vessel of Great Deeds.

He had never experienced the "extreme feeling of fullness in the body, like trying to force water into an overflowing bottle." His physical body had not reached its limit; at least his agility and physique had not reached 99 points, and he had not even reached the first step of the Vessel of Great Deeds.

With a deficiency of 15 points in Agility and 9 points in Constitution, the difference seems small, and it seems that as long as one pays attention, the difference can be made up quickly.

However, in reality, some common monsters, such as Ghoul, water monsters, and Giant Ghoul, have already reached their limit in consuming Heart Essence Fluid.

Relying solely on the monthly Conjunction of the Spheres, it would take at least three or four months to gather them all together.

Moreover, if he wants to condense Vessel of Great Deeds, simply condensing only the body and spirit like Soyer or Ronnie Deakins, how can one-sided perfection be enough?

If you're going to do something, do it big.

Strength, agility, physique, perception, and mystery—he wants to reach the limits of all five attributes simultaneously, a feat unprecedented in history, before embarking on his grand vision of condensing Vessel of Great Deeds undertaking.

Others may not have that talent, but Ailin does. With his innate talent, it's entirely possible for him to achieve perfection in all five attributes.

so...

Why not give it a try?

Therefore, this time will be extended indefinitely.

In such a long time, he must have completed the mission to rescue Henry Gedimidis, and who knows, he might have even acquired another Vessel of Great Deeds during Ben Ade's adventures.

But Soyer couldn't wait that long.

Before returning to Kaer Morhen, there was more or less concern that Soyer might expel him from the School of the Wolf because his taming of the Greater Griffin indirectly led to the Kedwen.

However, with powerful enemies surrounding them, it would be even more troublesome if something unexpected happened to the chief at this moment when unity is most needed.

Power struggles, ideological differences, seniority-based promotions... the School of the Wolf, like the Witcher Conclave, is once again falling apart, a future that can be foreseen without any prophecy.

Furthermore, even if Ailin wouldn't use it.

The Holy Grail is the child of the seeker who merges with the world. What does it mean to have your own child or adopt a child who merges with the world?

Besides, that child was an enemy.

Furthermore...

The Vessel of Great Deeds is not necessarily the right path, or at least, it is not necessarily perfect.

After all, according to Vesemir, after creating the Vessel of Great Deeds, the level of life did not seem to improve significantly; it only added a "Beast Roar - Berserk" without side effects.

This was certainly strong, but Ailin always felt it was lacking, especially when he thought of the image of Ronnie Deakins being easily killed by him because he underestimated his opponent.

Furthermore, the Vessel of Great Deeds is not the only path he can take after reaching his limit.

At least Ailin still remembered the system notification that popped up in the Witcher's Handbook when his power reached its limit.

[Attribute: Strength has reached its limit (Initial). Please seek an opportunity to improve it.]

Thomas Molu's second mutation is one path, and the recent Druid path is another.

There is absolutely no need for Ailin to rush down the path of Vessel of Great Deeds.

The Child of Miracle has that kind of confidence.

"No... Vessel of Great Deeds," the Sorceress paused, "Do you know what you're saying?"

The "container" in "Vessel of Great Deeds" is just a name; in reality, neither the container nor the Sage Power and Omnipotent Power it contains can be dissected from the host's body.

In other words, the Vessel of Great Deeds is like the spiritual sea hidden in the mind; everyone knows it exists, but it is completely impossible to find in experiments.

"Of course." Ailin wasn't surprised by the Sorceress's reaction.

He thought for a moment, carefully choosing his words, and then said truthfully, "Lady Vesemir, as you know, I have some special talents."

"Actually, the reason I asked that question is because after killing Ronnie Deakins, I obtained his Vessel of Great Deeds."

"You obtained Ronnie Deakins's Vessel of Great Deeds?" The Sorceress's face was filled with absurdity.

She had never heard of the Vessel of Great Deeds being combined with the word "acquire".

After a pause, even Vesemir, who always trusted Ailin, couldn't help but voice her doubts:

"Are you sure you're not mistaken? Wei Ye Rong..."

The Sorceress's tone suddenly faltered.

In the dimly lit corridor, flickering with candlelight, Vesemir's delicate and fair face was suddenly illuminated by a dazzling blue and white light, as if thunder had suddenly been stirred up in the void.

His eyes, as bright as rubies, widened in astonishment, and his thin lips parted slightly.

She saw a cup-shaped object, about the size of a thumb, floating on Ailin's outstretched right hand, which was covered in thick calluses.

Its entire body is silver-white, and the cup is engraved with several lines of Elder Speech text, giving it a particularly antique feel.

Vesemir recognized the Elder Speech, but when she tried to translate the etched lines, the patterns vanished abruptly, and the cup became as smooth as a mirror.

A blue and white lightning serpent, faintly visible, lingered in the cup. The shimmering light illuminating half the corridor was none other than that lightning serpent.

Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that the Razer was not floating in mid-air, but rather sinking in a translucent liquid with a metallic sheen.

"This... this feeling is the power of a sage!!!" Vesemir jumped to her feet, her eyes wide, her right hand covering her mouth, and cried out in surprise.

Ailin nodded. "Ronnie Dickinson is a sorcerer, so it certainly doesn't contain omnipotence."

This wasn't the first time he'd used Ronnie Dickinson's Vessel of Great Deeds; he was already immune to its exaggerated Vessel of Great Deeds effects.

However, it must be said that, regardless of whether Vessel of Great Deeds ' approach is the right one or whether it is complete, at least its appearance is indeed very good.

If you were to zoom in even further, and say it's the Holy Grail from mythology, no one would doubt it. No wonder Geoffrey Monk and Herbert Stamford called it the "Holy Grail."

"You... you... you..." The Sorceress, who had just recovered from her choked emotions by the sudden appearance of the Vessel of Great Deeds, became unusually incoherent.

Her pretty face flushed bright red.

However, nothing expresses anything more directly than facial expressions.

"I don't know how I made it."

Ailin admitted that he truly did not know why the Witcher's Handbook was so powerful.

"So..."

"Can this save the chief?"

Upon hearing the Soyer, the Sorceress calmed down from her initial excitement and astonishment.

She stared at Ailin for several moments with an extremely complex expression, but Ailin couldn't decipher the many emotions mixed within her gaze.

"Ailin ..." she took a deep breath. "Is there anything you can't do?"

"Having a baby?"

Ailin made a joke, trying to lighten the mood, but the Sorceress's face darkened with sorrow upon hearing it, and her straight back almost instantly hunched over.

Damn it, why bring up something you shouldn't say? How can you make such a joke about fertility with Sorceress who can't get pregnant?

Ailin cursed himself inwardly and quickly changed the subject, "Lady Vesemir, can Ronnie Deakins's Vessel of Great Deeds help the Chief recover?"

The Sorceress stared at the small Vessel of Great Deeds for a long time, then frowned and said:

"I... I don't know. The condensation process of the Vessel of Great Deeds is not even mature yet, let alone restoring the collapsed Vessel of Great Deeds."

"No one has ever been able to extract the Vessel of Great Deeds; there are no existing cases to study."

"But..."

She paused, then said:

"Are you sure you want to hand it over to Soyer to restore?"

"Compared to restoring the Vessel of Great Deeds, transplanting it into your body might be simpler..."

"No need," Ailin shook his head, interrupting decisively, "If I were to condense Vessel of Great Deeds, I wouldn't need to take this evil path."

Vesemir was taken aback by what she heard, and stared intently into Ailin's eyes. The light that shone in those eyes was even purer than the Sansidore River Toussaint.

For a moment, she found the light too dazzling, causing her to instinctively look away.

If he knew who Soyer and I were, would he still have been willing to do this?

Vesemir couldn't help but think to herself.

Then she sighed and said:

"Considering that this is a Vessel of Great Deeds, rather than a demon hunter's, it is not a good fit."

"The chances of success may be significantly reduced, and it's even more likely that nothing will be accomplished during the attempt, the Vessel of Great Deeds will be accidentally consumed, and all will be lost..."

"What do you mean?" Ailin didn't understand what she was trying to say.

"Even if you want to create your own Vessel of Great Deeds, this Vessel of Great Deeds of Ronnie Dickinson is very valuable and can be used as a backup." The Sorceress bit her lip and said with difficulty, "Besides, Soyer had long intended to die, otherwise the Vessel of Great Deeds would not have collapsed so suddenly."

"This... isn't worth it..."

Young people are always full of enthusiasm and high spirits, and they often act impulsively without considering the consequences.

But Vesemir couldn't.

Ailin unexpectedly obtained Ronnie Dickinson's Vessel of Great Deeds, underestimating the difficulty of acquiring Vessel of Great Deeds, but Vesemir knew otherwise.

The entire continent, encompassing all the warlocks in the Vessel of Great Deeds, numbered only slightly more than two hands.

The five members of the Talent and Skill Association stand tall like the snow-capped peaks of Blue Mountain, surveying the world with awe.

No matter how strong Ailin is, he doesn't have the power to seize their Vessel of Great Deeds.

That leaves only single digits.

However, Ronnie Deakins was not the strongest among the single-digit sorcerers, and he suffered from underestimating his opponent at the time. Once the other sorcerers found out, they would definitely be more wary of the Witcher and Ailin.

In this way, the number of Vessel of Great Deeds was less than five.

Moreover, although he did not agree with the School of the Wolf's outdated neutrality, he was still a kind-hearted child. Of the few remaining warlocks who had achieved Vessel of Great Deeds, a few more who were dutiful had to be removed.

After that, is anything left? Are there any other options?

Ronnie Dickinson may seem to be the first, but he could very well be the last.

If you miss this opportunity, it's hard to say whether there will be another one.

Of course, she didn't want to watch helplessly as Soyer, step by step, irresistibly walked into the abyss of death, but compared to Ailin's future, nothing was worth giving up, including Soyer and herself.

Vesemir stared blankly at Ailin's increasingly mature face, feeling somewhat dazed.

This is a debt they owe, a debt that is difficult to redeem.

At worst, she would leave with him.

"It's worth it," Ailin said solemnly, taking the Sorceress's hand and placing Ronnie Dickinson's Vessel of Great Deeds into her grasp. "Forget about success or failure; the chief is crucial to the School of the Wolf."

Vesemir felt the tingling sensation in her hand and remained silent.

However, Ailin seemed oblivious to the Sorceress's odd behavior. After handing over Ronnie Dickinson's Vessel of Great Deeds, he asked again:

"By the way, Lady Vesemir."

"How is Thomas Molu doing now? Have you managed to get any information about the Second Mutation?"

"Not yet," Vesemir said, grasping the Vessel of Great Deeds and looking up, "But it should be soon."

"Although Ada Emin is not a master interrogator, she is highly skilled in mind reading. It shouldn't be long before she gets the information about the Second Mutation."

Ailin asked in surprise, "Ida Emin came for Thomas Morlu?"

"Isn't it because of the alliance between the Free Elves and the School of the Wolf?"

"No," Vesemir shook her head. "I went to the Free Elves' camp in the Blue Mountains to find Ida Emin. Francesca and the others were just incidental."

Ailin nodded.

As Vesemir said, the probability of the Vessel of Great Deeds healing Soyer is indeed not high, after all, blood type compatibility is also a factor. One is the Vessel of Great Deeds for Witchers, which enhances physical fitness, and the other is the Vessel of Great Deeds for Warlocks, which improves perception and mystery.

The success rate is predictably low.

Therefore, Second Mutation leads to another path.

Soyer's life was in danger not because of the Vessel of Great Deeds, but because the remnant soul of the dragon had seized his weakness.

If the Second Mutation allows Soyer to truly break through her limits, will the remnant soul of the dragon still be a problem?

Of course, starting the research from scratch would take too long...

"If it's difficult to get information about Second Mutation, we can try to find the laboratory where Thomas Molu conducted the secondary experiment first," Ailin suggested after thinking for a moment. "That laboratory might be in Toussaint; you can keep an eye out for it during your interrogation."

He remembered that the laboratory not only had all the devices and equipment for Second Mutation, but even the raw material, the White Widow Centipede.

The reason Vesemir wasn't given the interrogation lab position was simply because the knowledge of the Second Mutation was more important in the long run, and coercive magical interrogation methods could very well lead to a mental breakdown after obtaining an answer.

If the lab only has equipment but no data, then we still have to start the research from scratch.

"The lab? Toussaint?" Vesemir paused for a moment, then nodded. "I'll tell Ida Emin."

"Well, if the interrogation is difficult, we can ask this first," Ailin added. "Second Mutation might also solve the Chief's predicament, but of course, we should try Ronnie Deakins's Vessel of Great Deeds first."

"The formation of the Vessel of Great Deeds is not difficult for me, so there is no need to worry."

"But the chief may not be able to hold out that long. Don't let the interrogation of Thomas Molu cause a delay in the end..."

"Uh... Lady Vesemir?"

Ailin's words came to an abrupt halt because of the tears that suddenly welled up in the Sorceress's eyes.

He was at a loss for a moment, thinking that the mention of the delayed Soyer had made the seemingly strong Sorceress think of something, and she was on the verge of a breakdown.

Seeing the Sorceress with her head down and face covered, Ailin thought for a moment, then approached her, gently patted her back, and softly comforted her:

"It's alright, Lady Vesemir, the chief will always find a way."

The Sorceress felt the rough texture of her calloused hands on her back and the burning heat. Her nose stung, and tears welled up and spilled from between her palms.

"Yes, there's always a way."

There's always a way.
