After the children adapted to the environment in Kaer Morhen, the witchers officially began physical training for the children.
Even if you don't pass the Trial of the Grasses mutation in the end, the physical training of a demon hunter is extremely useful to ordinary people.
In the original book, Ciri's swordsmanship ability of traveling to the end of the world with a sword is the best example.
However, before officially starting swordsmanship training, let the children run and exercise their physical strength.
After they gradually get used to it, let them run Killer Trail.
The so-called Killer Trail is a passage with many obstacles in the forest surrounding Kaer Morhen.
Every apprentice's physical training cannot avoid Killer Trail.
The many obstacles on the Killer Trail teach the demon hunters how to avoid danger, and then allow the body muscles to firmly remember the training, so that in actual combat that really needs to be used, they can use it without brain thinking and only rely on body instinct.
Of course, with any training, there is the possibility of injury.
It is said that the previous great mentor before Vesemir became the great mentor had very strict requirements for apprentices.
If the witcher teacher in charge of the training had not told him to stop, even if the apprentice was injured, he would not be able to bandage it and would have to endure the pain and train.
Because in the eyes of the Grand Master, all the demon hunters have to deal with are monsters, and they will complain if they get hurt, so how can they still be demon hunters?
Although this training method makes sense to a certain extent, it is too cruel and cold.
Witchers are humans after all, not monsters without emotions.
Blindly criticizing may be to polish one's martial arts skills to the extreme, but the lack of humanistic care can easily lead one's thoughts to extremes.
Therefore, after Vesemir became the Grand Instructor, he abolished such extreme rules when training Geralt and others.
Instead, an ideological and moral course was added.
Strive to avoid turning his students to the dark side of the Force.
In addition to the children's physical training, the demon hunters also prepared cave fungi and mysterious herbal juice for the children.
These two things are available in any school of thought, but the mixing formula is slightly different.
This is collectively called the catalyst and is the prodrug before taking Potion of the Grasses.
This is also one of the few potions in the demon hunter's potion system that ordinary people can take without side effects.
Cave fungi can keep a child healthy and make his muscles stronger.
The mysterious herbal juice can ensure the ideal metabolic rate and accelerate development.
What's even more valuable is that boys will not have any side effects when drinking it.
Therefore, Tissaia and Triss, in addition to staying in the basement with Vesemir for most of the day, improved Secondary Mutation's method.
In addition, in the home world of Lynn, there is a saying that medicinal supplements are not as good as dietary supplements.
Therefore, children have meat, eggs and milk for three meals a day, and even more bread.
Lynn believes that with this training method, even if they do not become demon hunters in the future, they will definitely be the best among ordinary humans.
While the children were receiving training, Lynn himself was not idle either.
For half a day in the morning, he taught the elves and civilians he rescued archery skills. After all, what he knew was the most popular and lost Sun Dynasty of the elves, Phoenix Archery...
In the middle of the afternoon, while still spending the winter in Kaer Morhen, Lynn consulted Letho and George about the secrets of their respective schools.
After the Old Order split, each school lost something, but also created something new.
For example, School of the Cat has lost the casting skills of Signs, so none of the witchers in School of the Cat have the ability to cast spells.
But in contrast, they created a variation of the standard swordsmanship of the demon hunter, School of the Cat Swordsmanship.
Another example is School of the Viper's attainments in alchemy, School of the Griffin's strongest spellcasting ability and his research on Signs.
All of these can enhance Lynn's personal strength.
And the stronger Lynn's personal force is, the more helpful it will be for the cause he wants to do.
Faced with Lynn's request, neither Letho nor George refused.
Although Lynn is asking for the secrets of their respective schools, the group of demon hunters is about to die out, so what's the use of cherishing it?
What's more, School of the Viper and School of the Griffin both split from Old Order. Now that Lynn wants to rebuild the demon hunter school and revive Order of Witchers, it is only right that they bring out the secrets of their respective schools.
So, Letho took out a handbook without resisting.
"This is School of the Viper's "Viper Poisoncraft". All School of the Viper's unique poison formulas are on it."
Lynn took it and looked at the catalog first.
The poisons recorded in this book Viper Poisoncraft are mainly divided into three types:
Poisons against humans, poisons against monsters, and auxiliary poisons.
He looked through it roughly and found that the first two were actually based on sword oil, plus a layer of poison damage.
But the last auxiliary poison is really powerful.
There are many kinds of auxiliary poisons with different effects, but under certain circumstances, they will have unexpected effects.
For example, there is a poison called Snake Eye. After taking it, you will immediately feel as if you have been bitten by thousands of snakes, which is extremely painful.
Only by drinking a specific antidote can the poison's onset be suspended.
Moreover, this antidote can only cure the poison temporarily, and the antidote must be taken again at regular intervals, otherwise the toxicity will occur and the pain will be unbearable.
At the end of this recipe, there is a clear note that the creator of Snake-Eye Poison is Ivar Evil Eye, the founder of School of the Viper.
Since School of the Viper is similar to School of the Cat and has almost lost the ability to use Signs, Ivar Evil Eyes invented Snake-Eye Poison in order to replace Axii Sign and control others.
Think about it, if a person's life is completely controlled by others, won't he have to take orders from now on?
However, Ivar Evil Eye did not do this out of personal selfishness, but with noble motives.
Since he had witnessed the atrocities of Wild Hunt for a long time, Ivar Evil Eye's original intention of establishing School of the Viper was actually to eliminate Wild Hunt.
The invention of Snake-Eye Poison to control others is actually for this purpose.
"Master Iva Evil Eye invented Snake-Eye Poison, how could School of the Viper end up in this situation?"
Lynn feels very strange.
Snake-Eye Poison is not like Axii Sign.
No matter how advanced Signs is, there will be a day when it fails.
And using Signs is easy to spot.
Even the charm magic used by warlocks has various drawbacks.
The most obvious example is in the plot of The Witcher 2, Philippa used a magic potion to control Saskia, but it was still seen by Geralt and Iorveth.
But Snake-Eye Poison is different.
It makes the poisoned person willing to be manipulated.
School of the Viper doesn't even need to make a big deal out of it. He just needs to quietly poison a few village elders who bully the village and prey on the people, and let these village elders pay tribute to School of the Viper.
Anyway, there are not many people in School of the Viper. With the support of the village elders, they can live well without working.
And if they had not accepted the assassination commission, the usurper emperor Nilfgaard would not have seen its value, and would not have attracted a large army to conquer them.
As the saying goes, as long as I have no use value, I will not be used by others.
