You Couldn't Even Compare to Leto!
After a moment of silence, Ailin stopped and closed the door.
"Squeak~"
The uniquely designed wooden door is closed.
The unique, subtle fragrance becomes even more pronounced as the airflow moves.
His mind was blank, and he subconsciously looked around.
There are no hidden staircases; the tower's pointed spire is right above your head.
This is the top floor, his new home.
"Looks like we didn't go the wrong way?"
Ailin was still a little unsure. After sorting out her thoughts, she cautiously pushed open the door again and went inside.
"Lady Vesemir?" he called softly.
No one responded.
"Bang!"
The moment I took off my leather boots and my feet touched the soft carpet, they were enveloped in comfort.
Take a few more steps forward, and walk around the red silk screen.
A steaming, waist-high solid wood bathtub came into view.
The familiar fragrance of Orange Cardamom wafts through the air.
On the small table next to the bathtub, a vase with a few red, white, and blue wildflowers was pressing down on a piece of letter paper.
He stepped forward, lifted the vase, and unfolded the letter.
"Ailin, congratulations on successfully crossing the line between life and death..."
"However, someone with talents like the Ice Lance Spell, Killer Whale, and Drowner Whistle would be more suited to be a wizard than a witcher, wouldn't they..."
"Don't waste your talent. Vesemir's alchemy class is always waiting for you on the second floor of the tower..."
"Finally, take a nice hot shower..."
"... Goodnight... my most successful investment..."
The handwriting on the letter was clear, and although it had a slightly ornate style, the strokes were simple and easy to read.
After finishing the page, Ailin felt relieved.
"So this isn't the Sorceress's room after all."
"However, these pieces of furniture and oil paintings were probably prepared by the Sorceress, and they look quite valuable."
As he took off his clothes, he looked around at the household items.
Everything Ailin looked expensive, especially the bathtub in front of her.
He was a little nervous and didn't notice, but he discovered that the edge of the bathtub was decorated with gold and silver thread.
"If it were when I first transmigrated, I'd probably be terrified right now, wondering if Vesemir was going to eat the children, right?"
"Ailin said with a self-deprecating smile."
"Bang!"
The leather armor and underwear lay on the carpet as Ailin walked up the small steps beside the bathtub.
"Splash!"
I don't know when this bucket of water was prepared, but the temperature is just right.
It was slightly hot, but just within the range that a Witcher's skin could tolerate.
What satisfied him even more was that when he squatted down, he sat on a small platform with a supportive backrest.
"Ah~ That feels so good~"
The fragrant hot water washed over my shoulders, and the refreshing scent of oranges wafted over me, while the aroma of cardamom became lighter.
After enjoying himself for almost ten minutes, Ailin remembered his original plan.
The mind opens the Witcher's Handbook.
Name: Ailin
[Level: 20]
[HP: 100%, Stamina: 240/240, MP: 230/230]
[Attributes: Strength 16, Agility 17, Constitution 24, Perception 17, Mysticism 23]
[Affinity: Water 3]
[Experience Orbs: 27 Experience Orbs, 3093 Lesser Experience Orbs]
[Essence Fluid: Drowner Heart Essence Fluid *2, Cyclops's Heart Essence Fluid *2, Drowner Heart Essence Fluid *189]
[Treasure Chests: 12 Drowner King's Chest, 12 Cyclops's Chest]
[Items: Killer Whale Potion 4, Necrophage Oil 3, Fog Bead *1,...]
[Evaluation: A newbie demon hunter!]
A bumper harvest!
After the Trial of the Mountains ended, Ailin gained a huge advantage.
Because of the need to level up by hunting low-level monsters, the gain from Experience Orbs is secondary.
What excited him most were the Heart Essence Fluid of four large monsters and twenty-four treasure chests.
With his eyes lingering on the treasure chest, Ailin resisted the urge to open it right now.
You have to go to the Witcher Apprentice's dormitory to open the treasure chest, where he once got a double-yolk egg.
Large monsters are rare; the next time we can hunt one will be at least half a month later during the Conjunction of the Spheres.
Moreover, he was unaware of the rules governing the Conjunction of the Spheres.
The few water ghosts that were teleported last time served as a warning to him.
"Conjunction of the Spheres - Water Ghost" may not always deliver a Drowners King.
Given the unclear teleportation mechanism, opening any large monster chest requires careful consideration.
As for his new home, he should wait until he finds a low-level treasure chest, explore the area first, and familiarize himself with the environment before making a decision.
In the world of Witcher, there are gods and destiny.
When it comes to improving one's strength, one has to believe in luck to some extent.
"Phew~"
With a sigh of relief, Ailin mentally accessed his inventory.
[Ding! Use the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid?]
With a thought, a chill instantly rushed into Ailin's esophagus.
With the help of the three-point water affinity, the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid could no longer leave him in such a sorry state.
After consuming the first portion of Essence Fluid, Ailin immediately used the second portion.
A moment later, the chill dissipated, and a surge of abundant power welled up within me.
He glanced at the panel.
[Attributes: Strength 19 (+3), Agility 20 (+3), Constitution 27 (+3), Perception 18 (+1), Mysticism 29 (+6)]
[Affinity: Water 5 (+2)]
Repeated use of the same Heart Essence Fluid will indeed cause the increase in attributes to diminish.
This time, using two portions of the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid resulted in a 10-point decrease in attribute boost compared to the last time, with only a 16-point increase.
That's enough, as long as his attributes keep improving.
In the world of the Witcher, there will always be new prey waiting for him.
Moreover, given his current attributes, he has probably already surpassed those ordinary witchers who have been hunting independently for ten years.
In other words, by relying on this month's Essence Fluid, Ailin saved at least ten years in terms of attribute increases.
Today's improvement is only halfway complete.
[Ding! Do you wish to use the Cyclops ' Heart Essence Fluid?]
The moment the thought clicked to use it, a thick liquid sank into the throat.
From the Adam's apple and esophagus to the stomach, all these organs suddenly felt much heavier.
However, this is different from the first time the Drowner Heart Essence Fluid was used.
Ailin only felt heaviness, without any sharp pain such as punctures or frostbite.
A quick glance at the panel showed that his health points hadn't decreased.
As he savored the sensation of digesting the Essence Fluid, he felt that even if he had taken the potion before the Trial of Grasses, it wouldn't have caused him much harm.
"I thought Old Spearhead would give me a critical hit like Drowners King."
He was already prepared, because this Essence Fluid had been injured again.
Is that all?
Since he was unharmed, Ailin took the last dose of the Essence Fluid.
[HP: 100%, Stamina: 310/310, MP: 300/300]
[Attributes: Strength 25 (+4), Agility 22 (+2), Constitution 31 (+4), Perception 18, Mysticism 30 (+2)]
[Affinity: Water 5, Earth 1]
"Splash!"
A well-defined, muscular body leaped from the water and landed lightly on the red wool carpet.
In a short time, the increase of 28 attribute points made Ailin feel invincible.
He clenched his fist, the surging power like lava in a calm volcano.
Though it remains hidden, when it bursts forth, it will surely soar to the heavens.
"With such power, what is there to fear, no matter how dangerous the battle?"
Ailin was immediately filled with boundless pride.
Despite an inflated ego, rationality still remains.
Ailin was about to retrieve Vesemir's appraisal data from the records in the Witcher's Handbook to calm himself down.
But then I suddenly came across Leto's data.
[Name: Leto]
[Attributes: Strength 28, Agility 34, Constitution 57, Perception 61, Mysticism 15]
"Ah?"
"I'm not even as good as Leto, so what was I just brooding over?"
