I'm Lady Vesemir's Friend

Um?

Bloody Red Fox teaches a witcher apprentice alchemy?

Can witchers learn alchemy?

Upon hearing this, Farouk's mind raced. He stared intently at Robin's face for a moment and concluded that the wizard apprentice didn't seem to be lying.

Then he turned his head, looking directly at the Witcher apprentice for the first time, revealing his standard gentle smile, and said:

"Hello, Ailin."

Are you really learning alchemy from Lady Vesemir?

Ailin glanced at Robin, that bookworm, with a hint of helplessness.

This was his second meeting with Farouk, but the first time he had received a greeting from a wizard.

Ignore it.

This was the only emotion Ailin had ever felt before.

Although Farouk's expression changed, his sudden reaction clearly showed that he was being treated like a clueless child.

"I did study alchemy with Lady Vesemir for a few days, but the classes were stopped soon afterward. What happened?"

"Do you know why Lady Vesemir left? And where she went?"

Farouk's eyes lit up, but then he seemed to realize he had been too direct and tried to cover it up by saying:

"I'm Vesemir's friend, and I have something I want to talk to her about."

Ailin resisted the urge to roll her eyes.

Someone like you, who only runs errands for others, doesn't deserve to be friends with Sorceress.

That's not how you coax a child!

He mimicked Huus, tilting his head and looking at the wizard with a puzzled expression, and said:

"Why would Lady Vesemir tell me she left?"

Farouk was taken aback, then realized that was indeed the case.

He would not even report his whereabouts to his apprentices when he left Ben Ade College.

Why would Bloody Red Fox talk to a witcher apprentice?

However, the Witcher apprentice...

The wizard glanced at the unremarkable Ailin and thought:

"Is an ordinary witcher apprentice qualified to be taught by Vesemir?"

In a flash, Farouk was about to ask a question, but Ailin interrupted him directly.

The witcher apprentice turned to look at Robin, who was beaming with pride because of his superior social circle, and asked:

"Robin, where are you going?"

"The chief asked me to show Mr. Farouk around Kaer Morhen; he seems very interested in everything here," Robin said.

Ailin paused for a moment upon hearing this, then nodded.

Then, the witcher apprentice gave the sorcerer a few more perfunctory words.

He then excused himself and left, citing other commitments.

As the apprentice reached the corner of the tower, he intermittently heard the voices of two people talking.

"Robin... why would Lady Vesemir teach that witcher apprentice alchemy?"

"Well... it seems to be because of something about the Witcher's Eye..."

Upon hearing this, Ailin's face darkened, and he turned and walked out of the tower.

Robin, that jerk!

The sky gradually darkened.

As the witcher apprentice walked back to the apprentice dormitory, his mind was filled with thoughts of the sorcerer named Farouk.

Given the destruction of Kaer Morhen, everything the wizard did was highly suspicious.

for example.

Why would a wizard who seems to have come with the king's hostility be so curious about Kaer Morhen?

"The School Head is truly muddle-headed!"

Ailin couldn't help but feel regretful. Wasn't this just inviting trouble?

When the Witcher apprentice heard this news from Robin, he almost lost his composure and quickly made an excuse to leave.

However, at that time, Ailin no longer needed to feign affection with the wizard.

He has obtained the information he wanted.

Whether the enemy is the sorcerer of Ban Aard, the king of Kedwen, or both.

Now that they've sent people to survey the terrain and the movements of their high-level combatants,

It's obvious.

The Battle of Kaer Morhen, which will destroy the Ancient Sea Fortress, is not far off.

Damn it!

"I haven't even passed the Trial of the Mountains yet, how come another life-or-death crisis is coming?"

The Witcher's face was so dark it was almost dripping with water.

He originally thought that the major crisis was still a long way off, at least three or four years.

By then, with the Witcher's Handbook, he must have grown up considerably.

But unexpectedly...

Before she knew it, Ailin had arrived at the apprentices' dormitory.

Huus and several other apprentices were practicing swordsmanship at the door.

He saw Ailin walking towards him from a distance and greeted him as usual.

But he found that Ailin, who used to be calm and collected, and seemed to be able to handle anything, was now a stranger to him.

His brows were furrowed, and his complexion was unusually poor.

"Ailin, you're back... What's wrong? What happened?"

Ailin looked up, forced a smile, and said, "I'm fine."

"Is it because of the Trial of the Mountains? Don't worry, Ailin, you'll definitely pass it."

Fred and Bont offered words of comfort upon seeing this.

They were now focused on the trial and couldn't think of anything else that could bother a "natural witcher" like Ailin.

Feeling the genuine concern of the three witcher apprentices, Ailin's mood immediately improved.

Even if they are not worried about the same thing.

He smiled and said, "It was indeed Trial of the Mountains, but I'm much better now. Thank you."

"Hehehe~" Huus scratched his head, seeing that Ailin's mood had indeed improved a lot.

Then he practiced swordsmanship with Fred and Bont again.

After watching for a moment, Ailin joined in.

The wizard from Ben Ade left with Robin that very day.

Ailin's life went on as usual, as if his worries were nothing but unfounded fantasies.

But the Witcher apprentice knew that the crisis that could destroy the School of the Wolf could happen at any moment.

When Ailin met the chief, he also mentioned the matter of the male wizard.

Unfortunately, the chief merely nodded and left, seemingly not taking his words to heart.

That night, Ailin tossed and turned, and the next day she went to see the chief again.

Using the story of the Child of Miracle as a starting point, the text describes the scene in a dream where Kaer Morhen is besieged by a mob and wizards.

After listening intently to the Witcher apprentice's description with a grave expression, the chief patted Ailin on the shoulder and said:

"I will consider it carefully."

Even after leaving the chief's residence, Ailin's sense of impending doom did not dissipate.

Spurred by the crisis, Ailin pleaded and begged until Vesemir finally allowed him to go out.

Of course, another Witcher Master, Dante, was with him.

Unfortunately, after learning about the effects of the Drowner Whistle, Dante forbade him from using it at Killer Lake.

Other water ghosts around Kaer Morhen became very rare; one might only encounter three or four in a whole day.

As for further afield, Dante wouldn't let him go.

Even if he found traces of other small demons like the Foglet or the Fiend, Master Dante did not allow him to pursue them further.

"You are Drowner Killer, not a vengeful ghost or Foglet killer."

Master Dante made a joke when he refused, though the Witcher apprentice didn't find it funny at all.

Five days passed in this way, Ailin finally resigned himself to his fate and decided not to leave Kaer Morhen again.

While sorting through the loot, the Witcher's Handbook inventory only contained a dozen or so Drowner Heart Essence Fluid.

I didn't get any Lesser Experience Orbs or treasure chests because the level difference was too big and the number of water ghosts I encountered each time was too small.

It was through these past few days that Ailin realized that if the level of the hunting target is too high, the hunting rating can even be reduced from D.

It's really a case of losing more than you gain.

After deciding not to leave Kaer Morhen, Ailin calmed down and voluntarily joined the training of other apprentices.

In addition to helping Vesemir answer his apprentices' questions about signs, his LV2 School of the Wolf Two-Handed Sword also allows him to correct the apprentices' mistakes.

In a short time.

Ailin spent even more time answering questions than Vesemir, as if Vesemir were his assistant.

A regular schedule makes time fly by.

Time flies like an arrow.

The Trial of the Mountains is coming!
