Chapter 22 Nothing to do today~
Judd's voice has long been hoarse, and as he talks, his tone of voice can't help but take on a hint of an ancient and weird accent.
"Okay, okay... there are three necessary steps in the Witcher Trial:
The first step is called choice. A special diet composed of special mushrooms, moss and herbs is supplemented with brutal physical training... The apprentices' original muscle tissue will be digested and stronger muscles will grow again, allowing the teenager to become an adult.
The strength. Many apprentices cannot survive it and will go crazy during training, or simply die of heart or liver failure.
The second step is called the Trial of Green Grass. Use magic potions to destroy your nervous system and other mortal parts of your body, and reshape a stronger cycle for up to seven days. You may suffer from brain hemorrhage and internal organ damage.
Exhaustion, or the whole person melts like butter. It is said that Kaer Morhen has the highest success rate, with 40% of the apprentices surviving.
Finally, there is the dream trial... and a new mutation potion. This will modify your bone marrow and hormones, taking away your fertility. Guess what the survival rate is in this step?"
Lan expressionlessly recorded the details of what the other party said, especially the formula of the potion, and said: "Don't talk about topics that have nothing to do with the trial."
"No, no, no, this is of course a topic related to trials. Guess what the survival rate is? The answer is - 30%. This is data from hundreds of years, and the success rate of apprentices over ten years old is - zero
!”
Judd looked at Lann breathlessly. The previous waterboarding made it very difficult for him to concentrate, but even so, his eyes were still full of teasing: "Poor noble boy, no matter how you look at it, he is over ten years old. No.
I’ve heard stories about witchers from those bards’ stories or strange storybooks, and I want to be one of them.”
"Become a monster, neither human nor beast, expelled by soldiers and officials, rejected by the civilians you saved, hunted by twisted monsters, and become a monster wandering on the edge of human civilization!"
Lan closed the notebook silently: "You may not believe it, but I may know the demon hunters better than most people in the world, or everyone in the world. I respect your group very much--of course, that does not include you.
.”
Speaking of which, Judd's corpse may be a good experimental material, which can help decipher the witcher's trial and investigate what changes have occurred in the witcher's body.
"House, tell me."
Lan lowered his head and thought for a while, then said to the three attendants: "Simply, nothing to do today - I also want to see what my soldiers are doing on their days off. Rose Garden, right?"
The small prison was immediately filled with a chilling atmosphere because of these words. The demon hunter had already anticipated his own end. He had long known that such a day would come to him. Now that the disaster was approaching, he did not feel afraid.
The three attendants hesitated for a moment and shook their heads.
"I'm the only one who doesn't know?"
The three attendants hesitated for a moment and nodded.
Crazy laughter echoed behind him. Lann turned around, grabbed the sword, and sealed his throat with one sword.
When House, the horse attendant, saw Lan coming out, he immediately went to the stables to bring Lan's mount out.
…………
"Speaking of which, I don't seem to have seen them today? Where are my city guards?" Lan turned around and asked the attendant.
"My lord, you forgot, please let everyone rest today." Sword Attendant Sward reminded.
This process is much more difficult than obtaining the Demon Hunter Trial, and it inevitably requires the participation of warlocks. The royal family of Cintra also has warlocks who support them, but they are not here now.
Hearing the movement in the cell, the jailers who had been watching and waiting outside immediately came up. After Lann left, they quickly put down the body of the witcher. This body will eventually be buried together with other death row inmates after execution.
Thrown into the wilderness.
Rose Garden...Rose, Garden? Lann chewed the name repeatedly and seemed to get a taste of it.
It's just that the success rate of this trial is a little bit low. Becoming a demon hunter is to allow Lan to gain better strength. If you gamble your life because of this, you will sacrifice your own life to chase the last. Lan decided that the next phased goal is to try to increase
The success rate of the Demon Hunter Trial, or in other words, the success rate of passing the Demon Hunter Trial.
Lann thought that before the warlock came back, it would be difficult for him to move forward with his plan to become a demon hunter. Now that he had nothing to do, he might as well take the city guards out to complete the missions.
Lann felt that he needed to think of a suitable reason to hand over the content of this trial to the other party, and persuade the warlock to help him solve the problem together.
The young earl glanced at the three attendants. Sword Attendant Sward was the strongest in combat, the most honest, but not sociable. In comparison, the other two were much smarter, especially the young stableman House and the soldiers of the city defense army.
The most fun.
"Set off!"
The next day, three poles high in the sun, Lannister Mansion.
The amber pupils completely extinguished the light, and the experience value on the panel jumped slightly. The amount of improvement was not enough to complete the task of catching a thief.
"I've asked you all I want to know. Do you have anything else to say?"
Everything has returned to the starting point of "long-term planning".
Lan narrowed his eyes: "You all know Rose Garden?"
House, who was leading the horse, interrupted at this time: "You also gave everyone a lot of rewards this time. I just saw them walking towards the Rose Garden..."
Lann asked strangely: "Where is the Rose Garden? Shouldn't their favorite place be the Three Crows pub?"
As House was talking, he suddenly felt that the entire team's pace suddenly stopped.
Lan was sweating profusely and stood motionless in the center of the courtyard with his sword in hand.
House, Ace, and Swade looked at each other and said hesitantly: "The Rose Garden... is more expensive. It's a place everyone only goes to after saving some money."
When I walked out of the prison, the sun was shining brightly outside, and all the cold atmosphere from inside was dissipated.
"Hahahaha, hahahahahaha. Go and become a witcher, noble boy! Go and become a witcher, you will die, you will definitely die! Hahaha, hahaha!"
The three attendants' eyes lit up and they nodded vigorously.
Lann was in a good mood. Although his first encounter with the witcher was not a pleasant one, he unexpectedly achieved part of his goal and clarified the content of the witcher trial.
It's just that Lan currently doesn't have the academic quality to decipher anatomy, and there are no warlocks who are capable of deciphering it.
After a while, Lann took a deep breath, recalling the actions of the demon hunter in the previous battle and the key points learned during yesterday's torture, and his body gradually began to move.
Like a cat taking clever and light steps, in stark contrast, his upper body was spinning wildly like a windmill, and the long sword was driven by Lan to sweep across every space around him.
【Swirling Sword Dance】!
"However, it is only a superficial appearance, without its spirit."
After spinning wildly for a few times, Lan stopped and sighed as if he was finally tired of playing.
Chapter completed!
