Cecilia's manor, in the hall.

The atmosphere was dreary, and the witchers sat in their corners, silent, each preparing for battle.

The Coen brothers propped up the cauldron, dripping a drop or two of colorful liquid from time to time, a pungent smell wabbling up, and they were brewing a sword oil that increased armor-piercing power.

Esther set up the cauldron and stirred the potions inside, concocting an alchemy potion that stimulates the body's functions for a short period of time to increase the resistance of the soul.

Ghost Rider's white flame is not fire, so the anti-gunpowder is ineffective, and she changes her mind, planning to use this potion that increases soul resistance to resist the "white flame" in Leon's mouth and the "foehn wind" in the witch's mouth.

The difference is that what drives this thing is a magical gem, which is a rather scarce hard currency in the wizarding world.

Leon meditated silently on the sidelines.

He hoped that before the battle, he could adjust his state to the peak - last night's battle and this morning's upgrade for Zhaoxue had consumed a lot of his mental power and magic power.

Ogilde was wiping the sword over and over again, and the blade was as bright as a mirror, and even the pores on his face could be clearly reflected.

Clifford dismantled his armor and tinkered with a pile of rugged steel parts with a dash of later steampunk-style.

He had assembled a weapon that looked like a "chainsaw", and was assembling a power machine that resembled a steam engine.

Cecilia completes this step by taking Leon through a mysterious ritual.

And Cecilia's talent for herself is very unpretentious, and it was named [Spell Penetration] by the Demon Hunter, as the name suggests, it is to increase the magic piercing!

It's not fancy at all, but the practicality is unquestionable.

In addition, the gift that Cecilia gave him also needed time to digest.

In fact, what Vivian said that as long as she does it with a goblin, she can share the other party's talent is false, but at the same time, it is not completely fake.

The difference is that you can do it at all.

But Cecilia didn't say which of Leon's talents, and Leon didn't ask.

After completing the ceremony, the goblin with a heart of stone handed over the key to the manor gate to Leon and left in a hurry.

Time flies.

In fact, Cecilia would prefer to share one of her life-saving talents with Leon, but unfortunately, the blessings from the goblins are random.

Being able to extract this talent is already a pretty good choice for Leon.

It is worth mentioning that the elf's blessing is a two-way "ritual spell", and after the elf completes the ritual, the elf will also gain one of the other party's talents.

"Don't be so bored—brothers, I'm going to get nervous if I continue like this, let's talk about how I became a witcher. ”

Only then did the witchers notice that the light outside the window had turned orange, and that night was approaching, and the final trial to determine the ownership of the "Sword in the Stone" was about to begin.

The Coen brothers poured the oil out of the cauldron and distributed it to the crowd to apply to the blades while Ishtar made the final potions.

Bang Bang -

Ogilde clapped his hands, breaking the silence and drawing the eyes of the people.

"It's dusk, and the big battle is imminent. ”

"I volunteered to be a witcher, after all, witchers make a lot of money, and my mentor made fifty large gold florins from the captain after that voyage, and I only got twenty silver coins - but when I actually became a witcher, I realized that the money in our pockets came in quickly, but it often went out faster!"

The demon hunters looked at each other and smiled, this was the witcher's dilemma.

And the witcher makes a commission, but it depends on luck.

Clifford freed his hands, and said with a smile, "Let's start with me, but there's not much to say—I grew up in the stronghold of the Iron School, and my mentor said that I was the child of a nearby farmer, and that I was left in front of the door on an uneventful night, and that there was a famine, and I guess they probably couldn't afford to have so many mouths." ”

Clifford was putting on his armor again, and he had an arm that looked like an iron prosthetic to help him put on the heavy armor that required the help of at least two squires.

Ogilde said, "I'm like you, but I joined the Wolf School as an adult, when I was a sailor, and my mentor was hired by the captain, so I was able to spend a long time with him. ”

Ishtar looked at him with a frown, and casually threw out a bottle of alchemy potion that had just been concocted: "Do you want to talk about this for the rest of your life?"

Ogilde smiled and picked up the potion, and gave her a nondescript aristocratic salute: "All right, we are clear, beautiful and generous Miss Esther." ”

"Huh. ”

If you are unlucky, you will not be able to get a single-digit gold coin if you meet a stingy employer and kill a mid-sequence demon.

If you are lucky, if you meet an employer like an archbishop or a great nobleman, even if you only kill a group of low-ranking evil ghosts and hellhounds, you may be able to earn fifty or sixty gold coins at once.

Ogilde said, looking at Ista "Thanks to this alchemist lady, I once walked around the savannah for a week without even half a copper in my pocket, and finally had a full meal. ”

Cohen explained, "If you frequently use the ability of [Demon Transformation] to cause serious deformity of the body, it will definitely not happen, so most demon hunters don't have it. ”

Ogilde shrugged helplessly: "I thought that my former lovers might bring me a son and a half daughter. ”

[Demon Transformation] is the most powerful skill in the early stage that almost all Demon Hunters have mastered, and almost every Demon Hunter has used it less.

Ishtar didn't bother to talk to him.

"Messier and I were both born in the Griffon School, and our parents were witchers, so taking this path is a son inheriting his father's business. ”

Ogild was surprised, "The witcher is still fertile?"

Ogild shook his head and said, "After taking out that fire demon in Kylemohan, I may consider your proposal, but not now." ”

Ishtar didn't speak, and from the beginning it seemed that he didn't intend to get involved in the discussion, and the people chose to ignore the taciturn woman.

No matter when and where, people are more tolerant of women than men, especially in the witching industry.

It's not that the witcher is unaware of its drawbacks, but when it comes to life and death, where can he have so much scruples?

"Don't you already have Alice? Speaking of which, I wonder if you're going to take part in this trial, and stay here with her until you're old?"

Cohen laughed and quipped, "Don't tell me, the ladies of the lake don't even have potions to slow down demonic erosion." ”

Leon pondered his tone and said, "I'm different from you, my father is a baron and my mother is a witch. When I was a knight's squire, I slain a dwarf demon and was so entrained by its evil power that my mother took me to my mentor, who helped me solve the problem, but at the cost of embarking on the path of a witcher. ”

Ogilde couldn't help but say, "Even your mother can't solve the evil power erosion of a dwarf demon?"

"I started living with my father, so I probably found out a little late. ”

Cohen asked with an inquiring gaze, "Leon, what about you?"

Even Ishtar stared at him carefully.

It can be seen that these peers are obviously curious about their experiences.

Leon smiled: "That's right, but Cohen, I know very well that the path of the Demon Hunter is full of thorns and bumps, and when I participated in the Grass Trial, I also traveled through most of the Heavenly World, and many times I almost lost my life. ”

"Knowing this, you are still willing to eat?" Cohen couldn't help but shake his head, "You're such a strange guy, if I have a choice, I'd rather be a wizard, which may be a bit greedy, and ordinary people can do it." ”

Cohen looked at Messier and couldn't help but say, "At the very least, let Messi stop going down the same path as me again." ”

"You're out of luck. ”

Leon smiled: "Ha, I quite like my current life, being a demon hunter, for me personally, there is nothing bad." ”

"Like this kind of life?" Cohen couldn't help but say, "Leon, you've been a witcher for no more than ten years, haven't you?"

Cohen wondered, "How did you do it, the spell-casting demon that the cornerstone talent hunted, or the special ability of your school?"

Li Ang shook his head, he didn't plan to hide it anymore, this is not necessary, to be able to pass the Five Virtues Trial, the credibility of these peers is still very high.

Of course, he will never reveal his ability to absorb multiple demonic talents, which is his secret second only to the "Demon Hunter Handpier".

Messier frowned and said, "Why don't you be an ordinary person?" Brother, I am not worse than you in swordsmanship, and I am also more skilled than you in law seals, only alchemy may be inferior to you, but this doesn't mean that you should not go to the battlefield?"

Cohen touched Messier's head and chuckled, "Okay, I just said a possibility that doesn't exist - Leon, Ishtar told us that you are also a witcher who is good at spells?"

Ogilde laughed and said, "Ha, don't use the word 'also', compared to the seal of your three-legged cat, Leona is the real master." ”

He looked around and saw that his peers seemed to be expecting him to finish the "but", but Ogilde looked at them with a smile with a sense of superiority that he already knew the truth.

"My teacher is really amazing, he is the greatest witcher, so he taught me this special ice spell that can be cast by witchers. ”

Cohen laughed, "Ha, I'm too, every witcher thinks his mentor is the most amazing person. ”

Even more important than the "Demon Hunter Hand Tie", because it is completely his own.

Although the Demon Hunting Codex is of extremely high rank, it is precisely because of this that Leon feels that it does not belong to him at all.

So he said: "Our school is indeed very small, and it is not famous, and we only have two people in total with the teacher, and it is not wrong to say that we are wild hunters, but ......"

Ogilde continued: "The difference is that the teacher in Leon's mouth is recognized as the greatest witcher in the extraordinary world. ”

"What?"

The demon hunters' expressions froze.
