Chapter 96: The Demon Hunter Trial begins with
Jeron calmly and quickly searching for the materials needed for mutation in the laboratory.
The Witcher Mutation, or the Witcher Trial, consists of three mutation trials plus one combat trial.
One of the combat trials is called the "Alpine Trial". Simply put, after completing the mutation, the demon hunter is asked to find a monster to fight to see if he has forgotten what he has learned before. It doesn't matter to Lan now.
The focus is on the previous three mutation trials: choice, grass trial, and dream trial.
Choice is a preparatory process of strengthening the body with special edible plants and physical training, which can give children as young as seven or eight years old to have strength comparable to young people or even adults. Let children become stronger without losing their plasticity to cope with subsequent trials.
Now was naturally not the time for such physical training, and after Jielong's inspection, the strange young man in front of him was as strong as a young troll. He even suspected that the other person was not a human being.
Then jump directly to the second stage of the trial - the Green Grass Trial. Special decoctions are used to transform the physiological structure, and the whole process requires the participation of a warlock at all times, who uses magic to monitor the progress of the experiment.
Jeron waved his hands. What the warlock could do, he could do now.
Mother's tears, wild rye juice, and thatch juice, the grass decoction made by mixing these three ingredients is the first half of the grass trial, or the medicine guide.
The infusion tube was inserted into Lan's blood vessel, and the specially prepared decoction melted into his blood vessel drop by drop. An overwhelming pain followed.
"Ahhhhh!"
This was a scream that was enough to tear the throat!
The Trial of Green Grass lasts seven days, and the average demon hunter apprentice will complete this process when he is about ten years old.
Jie Long tied the leather tie a little tighter to prevent it from being broken free, and turned back to prepare the second half of the decoction for the Green Grass Trial.
The venom glands of the flying lion monster, the tongue of the albino vampire banshee, yam, plantain, datura root, the spinal fluid of the fork-tailed dragon... Jielong frowned, it seemed that
all the spinal cord of the forked-tailed dragon was used on himself, It looks like we have to temporarily hunt one. Which place has more fork-tailed dragons, Skellig?
At this moment, Jielong suddenly heard a slight sound coming from the corner.
Black Wind, that horse is still alive.
Jielong was not unconscious in the training cabin. He could vaguely feel that he had been knocked out, which meant that the horse in front of him was his real savior.
Witchers all love horses. Jielong squatted down and comforted the restless horse amidst the harsh screams:
"Although it sounds scary, I am saving your master."
Jielong lowered his eyes and suddenly pointed at the horses connected behind Heifeng. He continued his life-saving infusion tube and said: "In a few days, I will need to use these to save your master, do you understand?"
Black Wind snorted, Jie Long's figure reflected in his eyes, and Lan En's misery was heard in his ears. Call.
It chooses to close its eyes. This is its answer.
Jie Long looked at Hei Feng with a sigh, suddenly remembered something, and looked back - because it was his first time to preside over the green grass trial, so the dosage of the green herbal medicine he prepared was not correct, and there was still a lot left.
He then recalled the records in the notes he had just read, which showed that there were indeed many cases of mutant animals in Thomas Moreu's experiments, but they did not survive long.
A bold idea took shape in his mind, and Jie Long said thoughtfully: "Although I can't guarantee how long you can live. But when you are with me, your master will be able to persevere better, right?" The seven days passed quickly
. , Lann no longer had the strength to scream. He just felt that someone was tying him up and injecting something into his body.
He heard a voice speaking: "Can you hear it? I'm saving you, knight. But I have to turn you into a demon hunter so that you can be saved." Lann couldn't open his eyes, and he didn't have the strength to struggle
. But the system's panels don't require opening your eyes.
[HP: 52/770]
"I'm about to die..."
The voice was hoarse and rough. Lann felt that this voice should have been made by Thomas Morew before.
"Food...food..."
Lann needs [Gourmet] to play its role!
"You can't eat now, do you understand?" Lan heard the voice saying, "I will give you an infusion to maintain your basic life. All you need to do now is to hold on and use all your desire to survive and willpower. , Never give up."
Lann still struggled, this person didn't understand what he meant at all!
"If you don't have to go through this process soberly, I really want to give you a kick."
Lan heard the voice and was angry and helpless: "Forget it, if this can make your mentality a little better - "Liquid food should be fine."
After a while, Lan felt a little bit of diluted broth being poured into his throat, drop by drop, and the total amount was very small, only about half a mouthful.
But Lann's health slowly began to climb back up.
He finally calmed down, leaving only his twitching body continuing to suffer in endless pain.
Another seven days passed, and the Green Grass Trial was over. Jie Long frowned slightly. He felt that there seemed to be some unexpected changes in Lan's body, but he couldn't tell where.
This kind of physical change is not a good sign.
"Will it fail..."
But the matter has come to this, and there is no turning back.
After the Green Grass Trial is over, only the last stage of mutation remains: the Dream Trial. This trial will change the mutant's hormones and bone marrow. It is the deepest change and the longest mutation. It often takes several months or even a year.
After completing this step, Lann is physically a complete witcher.
Jaylon inserted the tube that he had used to infuse himself into Lan's body.
The dream trial begins!
It is also from this step that Geron will combine the research results of Thomas Morew to make changes to Lann's trial.
"Based on the Demon Hunter Trial of the Griffin School, with the mutation containing the albino giant centipede protein as the end point. Some potions created by ancient mages can be added to neutralize it. I remember it was recorded that these seemed to be because the materials were too precious. The original warlock eliminated the subsequent regular formula..."
"I looked for it, it's very good. Father...that guy has everything in his laboratory."
"The eyes of the troll mantis can strengthen the body..."
"Dagan's secretion...Does a half-murloc 'god' like Dagon really exist? Paired with the Philosopher's Stone, Ether, Mercury and Cinnabar, it's great..." "The Heart of the Mutant
Crab Demon... ...I have only heard of this thing in myths and poems. I don’t think I have it in my body..." "I still
need werewolf fur... Why is there no such thing? Go out and look for it..."
This will be a An extremely long mutation process.
.........
While Lann undergoes the long-lasting witcher trial, the world will not stop.
Sintra, the capital.
Several months have passed since Lann began to mutate.
When only a few people from the expedition returned, Calanthe became furious and imprisoned them all. The palace attendants listened to the morning's quarreling and beatings outside the Queen's drawing room, and at one point a roar of "Toussaint!" could be heard coming from inside.
The Lannister family was almost destroyed. With the efforts of Princess Ciri and advisor Mossak, the Lannister family property was temporarily managed by the royal family in name only. In fact, it was temporarily kept by Ciri, rather than by any branch of the royal family. Adoptive inheritance.
The reason Queen Calanthe agreed was to prepare a dowry for Ciri. The imprisoned Lannister squires were also freed.
1263. At the beginning of the year, Queen Calanthe announced that Ciri was engaged to Prince Radovid of Redania. Redania is the oldest human kingdom and one of the four northern powers.
A month later, the marriage was canceled by Vizmir II, the current king of Redania.
The conflict between Nilfgaard and the Northern Kingdoms became increasingly fierce, with Cintra bearing the brunt.
.........
Three Crows Tavern.
The place is even more lively than a few months ago. Desperate merchants are rushing into the place where both sides of the war are connected to get money. Soldiers will also choose to spend their rest time in the tavern to relieve stress.
Only the citizens are much less visible, and they can hardly be seen in the tavern, trying to prove that civilians are the biggest victims of the war.
At this time, the passing merchants and soldiers were gathered around a specially vacated card table in the center of the tavern.
Someone on one side of the card table proudly threw out a card: "Look at my [Frost]. The attack power of all non-golden melee cards will become 1. You will lose!" The onlookers soon began to cry:
" Oh, my God, I made the wrong bet!"
"Damn it, Mi Rui actually hid this kind of card at such a time."
Gwent can be said to be the only form of entertainment for mainland residents in their free time. It has a long history. Among them, the cards drawn by dwarves are the most exquisite. The ingenuity of the dwarf masters in treating weapons will extend to the cards. Court nobles and wealthy businessmen often collect these miniature arts.
The masses at the bottom often have few good cards. And because of time issues, the decks and card types at this time were far less rich than those in later generations. The two soldiers fighting at this time all used the basic cards of the Northern Kingdom.
The soldier sitting across the card table saw the merchant in front of him playing [Frost], his expression was ferocious and he almost broke his back teeth.
"Kahn, fight quickly, you only have the last card left anyway!"
The Cintra soldier reluctantly showed the last card in his hand, which turned out to be -
[Lion Knight· Lan]
The lively atmosphere around the card table suddenly cooled down. This is a card that can be regarded as a treasure by the soldiers of Cintra.
The businessman sitting opposite seemed to want to laugh, but considering the environment he was in, he suppressed his expression and pretended to be helpless and said: "
Uh... Actually, if that terrible accident hadn't happened, this card might have been used in the future. It will become a gold card, and it will not be affected by [Frost]..."
