"It's not difficult. An ordinary apprentice can learn it after one or two months of dedicated training."

Ailin had anticipated this, and that was precisely why he openly presented the "Killer Whale" to the Chief.

Preparations for the high-altitude trial are basically complete; it's time to think about the future.

Although it is unknown when the Battle of Kaer Morhen, which destroyed the Ancient Sea Fortress, took place.

But the enemy's declaration of war—"Freaks, or a Description of the Witcher"—has already arrived.

Time is running out for the Witcher apprentices.

To save the School of the Wolf from its inevitable demise, he must first be more than just a highly talented Witcher apprentice.

Judging from what happened at the banquet yesterday afternoon, Ailin is not even just an experienced witcher.

He needs more influence and greater authority to persuade these stubborn Wolf School witchers.

Let them know.

Danger is approaching.

Therefore, he hoped to rely on this formula, and possibly the dozens or hundreds of other formulas that might follow, to quickly improve his status within the School of the Wolf.

Upon hearing this, the chief fell into deep thought once again.

"Ailin, can I try that potion of yours?"

From the chief's tone, Vesemir was surprised to learn that the potion his apprentice had created after ten days of alchemy training was actually effective.

Moreover, the effect seems to be very good.

So the Witcher Master couldn't help but want to give it a try.

"Sure."

Ailin pulled out two more bottles of Killer Whale from his pocket.

Seeing that the chief and the Sorceress were both deep in thought, he did not disturb them.

After handing one of the bottles to Vesemir, Ailin eagerly opened the stopper and drank it down in one gulp.

"Hmph~"

Moments after the potion entered his throat, the witcher apprentice felt a grayness before his eyes, as if a very thin veil had been draped over them.

The blood flow suddenly accelerated, and my heart sank sharply.

Then his cheeks suddenly bulged out, as if some kind of organ had grown out.

A thought struck Ailin, and he turned his head to look at Vesemir.

He saw that the blood vessels around Vesemir's eyes were bulging, and his dark golden Cat Eyes seemed to be veiled in a thin mist.

It looks very strange.

Knowing he would likely end up like that, the Witcher apprentice didn't hesitate any longer and plunged into Killer Lake.

After entering the water.

Ailin realized that the thin mist in front of him seemed to be a transparent eyelid, protecting his eyes from contact with the lake water.

And that's not all.

Before the Witcher apprentice's eyes, the lake water seemed to be glowing naturally.

At a glance, you can even see the bottom of the lake clearly.

"What's the principle behind this? It's amazing!"

Ailin couldn't help but admire it in his heart.

"Thump!"

Amidst the sound of a heavy object falling into the water, the Witcher apprentice looked in the direction of the sound.

Vesemir also came.

The Witcher Master's shock was palpable; he was completely unaware that his mouth was agape.

Seeing this, Ailin subconsciously touched his own face.

His mouth was also open, but no lake water flowed into it.

Moreover, the Witcher Apprentice only then realized that he was breathing normally, just as if he were on land.

"Is this the magic potion?"

Even though he had created the "Killer Whale" himself, he still found it hard to believe.

Such a work that defies common sense was actually created by him personally.

that's all.

Ailin and Vesemir swam underwater for more than ten minutes before coming ashore at the same time.

"Ailin! Ailin!..."

Once ashore, Vesemir was somewhat incoherent, repeatedly shouting the name of the Witcher Apprentice, but unable to utter a single coherent sentence.

He was truly overjoyed and astonished.

An ordinary person can only hold their breath underwater for two or three minutes at most, and even a Witcher can only hold it for five minutes without special training.

But after drinking the Killer Whale drink, the time starts at ten minutes, and for a seasoned witcher like him, it can be extended to twenty minutes.

How much can you do underwater in such a long time?

This potion, unlike the Witcher Potion, does not directly increase strength.

However, it directly expands the Witcher's hunting range and improves their ability to avoid danger in emergencies...

If they had possessed such a potion, how many witchers would have been spared from death or crippling?

In an instant, countless faces flashed through Vesemir's mind...

Regret, sadness, pride, surprise, admiration...

Even Vesemir himself didn't know what kind of emotion he was feeling right now, and could only pat his apprentice on the shoulder incoherently.

"Viser".

Soyer walked over, sighed, and then placed his right hand on Vesemir's back, patting him gently.

He could understand Vesemir's thoughts; as they grew older, more and more of their companions died before their eyes.

They died from monsters, natural disasters, or even the hands of humans.

If such a potion had existed back then, perhaps they wouldn't have died.

Thinking this, Soyer turned her head to look at her child, a surge of pride welling up inside her.

These are one's own offspring.

A born witcher...

"Snort!"

Vesemir gave a disgruntled snort, interrupting Soyer's musings.

He could only sigh softly to himself and say:

"Ailin, since you're willing to share the potion with us, you must have your own reasons, right?"

Ailin breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that the Chief of the School of the Wolf did not look down on him because of his age.

What he feared most was that the chief would take the formula away from him because he was young, and then just give him some random things.

As a Witcher apprentice, he actually had no choice when facing such a big shot as the Chief.

"Yes, I have some ideas."

Upon hearing this, Soyer glanced at Vesemir, then at Vesemir, and said:

"Speak. If you are willing to share the potion recipe with the school, everything is negotiable except for the Trial of the Mountains."

Ailin certainly had no intention of avoiding the trial; he was almost fully prepared.

As long as the second entry into the cave doesn't result in the unfortunate encounter with the Old Spearhead waking up.

He successfully passed the Trial of the Mountains.

However, Killer Whale are important to the School of the Wolf.

In reality, it can't be sold at a high price.

This potion contains a potent poison and can only be used by witchers.

The Sorceress had seen the recipe again nearby.

So after thinking for a moment, Ailin prepared to speak up and offer to exchange some things that could be used at the moment.

"Witcher Master!"

A cold voice interrupted the witcher apprentice.

Upon hearing this, both the Chief and Vesemir instinctively looked at Vesemir, who had spoken.

"You can request the title of Witcher Master."

"After all, haven't you already hunted down a large monster?"

The witchers present were stunned.

After hunting the Drowners King, Vesemir called Ailin the Witcher Master, but that was merely an acknowledgment of Ailin's potential.

In his mind, the Witcher Apprentice could already be called Witcher Master.

In fact, he did not believe that the school would bestow this title upon him for this reason.

After all, this large monster was indeed killed by two people working together.

More importantly, Ailin is still too young...

"But if we add this potion recipe..." Vesemir fell into deep thought.

Seeing that Ailin was stunned, the Sorceress looked directly at the Chief of the School of the Wolf and repeated:

"Soyer, what do you think of this request?"
