Chapter 10 Water Ghost
"Teacher, I win."
Wayne put away his steel sword and looked at his mentor.
Two consecutive battles, although not particularly intense, Wayne had consumed a lot of chaos magic and his body was still a little tired.
The next opponent, Geralt, should be the most difficult to deal with among the three senior demon hunters. He must think of a countermeasure.
However, the old demon hunter Vesemir sighed and said to everyone:
"Okay, let's end the competition here."
"Wayne, you have proven your strength and are already qualified to be a master. There is no need to continue. It’s time for the third trial.”
He glanced around at the faces of Geralt, Lambert and Eskel.
"However, you have no experience in dealing with monsters yet." "
In the next few years, you can team up with Geralt and perform missions together." "
He will teach you how to become a real witcher ."
As the old demon hunter finished speaking, the system prompts in Wayne's head also rang.
Expert level mission: [Departure] has been completed.
Gain 30 experience points and an expert treasure chest.
Originally, Wayne wanted to fight for it again, but after hearing the reminder that the mission was completed, he shut up.
The reason why this test is so hard is that in addition to striving for qualifications to become a teacher, completing this first expert-level task is also one of the important reasons.
Now it seems that the rewards are not bad. Thirty points of experience are equivalent to ten ordinary-level tasks. Although the expert-level treasure chest has not been opened, according to the system instructions, in addition to a lot of coins, there is a chance to open it. Create a rare item.
Speaking of this, his system column still stores all the ordinary-level treasure boxes he has obtained in the past year and a half, one every day, totaling more than 500.
Each ordinary treasure chest can obtain a small amount of currency or some ordinary-level random items. With so many treasure chests added together, a lot of good things can definitely be obtained.
Of course, he did not open these treasure chests in Kaer Morhen's castle, lest the items obtained out of thin air arouse the suspicion of the old demon hunter Vesemir.

…………
Half a month later, heavy snow once again blocked the access between Kaer Morhen and the outside world.
After obtaining Vesemir's permission to join the army, Wayne's biggest task, in addition to his daily combat training, was to collect herbs and search for monsters in the forests, mountains and rivers near Kaermohan with the white wolf Geralt. Find the ingredients for the Witcher Potion.
Practicing the truth also allowed Wayne to apply the knowledge in the books to reality, and learned a lot of knowledge about herbalism and monstrosities that were not in the books.
The only pity is that there are forests and valleys near Kelmohan, and it is still cold winter at this time.
There were very few types of monsters and herbs they could find, with water ghosts and evil ghosts accounting for the vast majority. There were not many materials that could be collected.
A small lake a few kilometers away from Kaer Morhen.
The white wolf Geralt held a silver sword in his hand and looked with interest at Wayne, who was surrounded by five water ghosts not far away.
Watching the figure running left and right among these monsters, the sword light swept across, like a dexterous cheetah, easily avoiding the monster's attack and killing the monster wantonly. He couldn't help but be surprised at the talent of this young demon hunter.
Perhaps, this little guy will really become the strongest demon hunter of the Wolf School in the past few hundred years, as Vesemir said.
After just a few demonstrations, this young man overcame the human instinctive fear of monsters. Faced with the blue-skinned, foul-smelling, ferocious-looking water ghost, he was able to calmly pick up the silver sword and display his superb swordsmanship.
Thinking about his performance when he faced the monster for the first time, Geralt shook his head helplessly, as if the waves behind him pushed the waves ahead.
With the last horizontal slash, the sharp silver sword cut flesh and blood, and the water ghost's head flew high and hit the ground with a snap.
It only took less than two minutes for the five water ghosts to turn into corpses scattered on the ground under Wayne's swift and dexterous sword skills.
However, after killing all the water ghosts, Wayne thought of something and made no other movements. Instead, he stood in the middle of the corpse in a daze, seemingly in a daze.
"What are you doing in a daze? Quickly take out the water ghost's brain?" "
Today's lesson is to refine the swallow potion."
After seeing Wayne kill the water ghost, he was in a daze holding the silver sword, and Geralt was brewing the potion. The water tool stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, asking with a smile:
"What's wrong? Are you scared when you see these monster corpses?"
After hearing this, Wayne exhaled and shook his head slightly. , it’s not that I’m afraid, it’s just that I feel a little nauseous.
When I was fighting among the water ghosts just now, I didn't feel that strong.
But when he chopped these five monsters, which were highly similar to human body structures, into pieces all over the ground, and looked at the scene of limbs flying and flesh and blood splattering on the ground, he, who came to this world from a civilized society, was shocked. The time traveler suddenly felt a little nauseous.
This is not the first time he has killed monsters, but the evil ghosts he killed before, Qiqimo, are different. The appearance of water ghosts is too similar to humans. It is no wonder that many civilians mistakenly believe that water ghosts are those of drowned people. Corpse-turned-monster.
Geralt didn't take it seriously and took out a small knife from his waist. In front of Wayne, he squatted down and pinched the head of a sea ghost. He cut open the sea ghost's scalp cleanly and cut along a bone. Through the small gap between them, he pried open the skull of the water ghost, and took out a white walnut-shaped brain of the water ghost from inside.
He deliberately slapped Wayne's chest with his palms covered with stinky mucus, and said teasingly:
"Boy Wayne, as a demon hunter, killing is only a small part of our lives." "
And all kinds of things. Dealing with all kinds of corpses is the main theme of our lives." "
From now on, you have to adapt to this kind of life with rotting corpses, mud, and dog shit."
As he said that, he took out the water ghost Put the brain into a container like a basin, then waved to Wayne and said,
"I heard from Vesemir that you really like others to assign you tasks."
"Come on, our task today is, Dissect the corpses of twenty water ghosts and refine ten swallow potions."
As soon as Geralt finished speaking, a system prompt appeared in Wayne's head.
Trigger task: [Processing the body of the water ghost and brewing the swallow potion] Ordinary level.
Accept the mission?
Yes, confirm to accept the task.
Smelling the sour smell of the corpse, Wayne felt nauseated. He endured the stench and nausea of the water ghost, squatted down, took out the skinning knife, imitated Geralt's movements, and began to dissect the other corpse. The corpse of a water ghost.
Indeed, Geralt was right.
No matter how disgusting it is, since you have chosen to become a demon hunter, you have to adapt to this life of dealing with corpses.
Anyway, when he acts alone in the future, it is his own freedom to decide what kind of tasks he takes.
