Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 564 The Song of the Spring Maiden's Spirit! Vigorfortz has arrived! Conflict erupts!
"so close!"

Erin took a few deep breaths and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

The treasure chest with the number @#￥%& is a treasure chest left behind by an evil god.

Of course, he didn't originally expect to collect all seven treasure chests, combine them into a red-quality treasure chest, and then open it.

But we can't just turn the golden treasure chests of the five evil gods into blue skies and white clouds because of our own oversight, can we?

That would mean regretting it for at least a year... no... given the Witcher's lifespan, which is comparable to that of the Mountain People, it would mean regretting it for at least ten years!

If it weren't for this consideration, the gargoyle's treasure chest wouldn't have been followed by Morlu's colossus's treasure chest.

"Whoo~"

After a long while, he finally let out a long breath and calmed down from his lingering fear.

With a thought, he didn't rush to organize the treasure chest, because the harvest blessing usually has an "aftertaste".

[Ding! Ghoul's Treasure Chest*18 and Water Ghost's Treasure Chest*33 have been opened]

After a purple light came a blue light, followed by forty-seven neat rows of white lights.

This is not a normal probability.

The last time I opened the treasure chest for the Harvest Blessing, I got nine gold, two purple, and three blue treasures.

Clearly, Meritelli's Blessing of Abundance (Great), while indeed very large, has squeezed out "luck" quite a bit.

If I hadn't been careful just now, and had actually let my mind wander, I would have opened those five treasure chests with the numbers @#￥%&.

More than a century; this moment will be etched in his memory forever throughout his life as a witcher.

[Ding! Obtained: Giant Ghoul's Simulated Howling Flute Blueprint (Purple)*1, Experience Bead Bag (Blue)*1, Rotten Flesh*33]

……

【Name: Ghoul's Simulated Howling Whistle】

[Type: Blueprint Making]

[Refining Requirements: Alchemy LV2]

[Recipe: 5 Ghoul Throat Bones, 1 Jue Shui (a type of medicinal drink), 1 Bear Fat]

[Function: Plays a ghoul-like howling whistle, producing a sound similar to the howl of a giant ghoul that attracts ghouls to gather.]

[Note: Witcher + Ghoul's Simulated Howling Horn + Axii Sign = A Ghoul Squad that Temporarily Obeys Command]

not bad!
It's like a ghoul version of the Water Ghost Whistle, and an upgraded version that can be commanded.

Besides attracting ghouls and saving hunting time, it seems there are many more interesting ways to play.

For example, using ghouls as bait, meat shields...

Who knows, this might even be used to guide other ghouls...

"It will be very useful to Elni and Klar. They have no shortage of ghoul throat bones, jujube water, and bear fat. Try making one or two when you have time."

Erin stroked his beard and thought to himself.

"The ten experience beads in the experience bead bag are quite good, and the rotten flesh isn't bad either. The celestial spheres will be converging soon, and we'll be short of some gifts."

After briefly reviewing the ghoul and water ghost treasure chests, Erin opened the Demon Hunter's Notebook with a thought.

[Ding! Two chests of devout Lydia, five chests of Ronnie Dickinson, five chests of summoning ritual, and five chests of monster's nest have been opened.]

【Title: The Song of the Spring Maiden's Breath】

[Type: Sacrifice Song/Divine Magic/Spell]

[Learning Requirements: Earth Affinity 10, Mysticism 50, Pure Womanhood, Blessing of the Daughter of Spring]

[Function: Under the blessing of the Daughter of Spring, her followers can chant the Song of Spiritual Breath in ancient language, achieving...]
1. Calms the agitation of chaotic magic in a certain area, organizes the distribution of elements, making the area affected by the Song of Spiritual Breath more suitable for intelligent beings to live in. Moreover, in areas that have been organized by the Song of Spiritual Breath of the Spring Maiden, the deceased are less likely to be transformed into spirit monsters for a certain period of time.

2. When used on intelligent beings with latent chaotic magic, it can activate the magical talent hidden within the being, eliminate the agitation of chaotic magic within its body, and regulate the magical circuits within its body.

3. When used on monsters and beasts that lack intelligence, it can reduce their aggressiveness to some extent (especially effective against elemental creatures).

[Note: In the era when the gods of the mountain people were still active, the singer was a beautiful title for the priestess of spring.]

Unlike sorcerers, they do not possess innate magical talent. However, due to the influence of the Spring Maiden's voice on magic, they use the Spring Maiden's spiritual songs to soothe the chaotic and turbulent elements and ley lines caused by the massive magical impact of the celestial spheres converging. As a result, they have gained a more revered status than sorcerers.

Nature thus benefits, and is given the ability to unravel the magical pathways of intelligent beings.

……

【Name: Song Stone】

[Type: Divine Object/Ritual Item/Place of Magic]

[Function: To replace the favor of Gwendolyn, the Daughter of Spring, as the singer's proof and source of power.]

[Note: Before her tragic end, Gwendolyn, the Daughter of Spring, forcibly degraded herself and used a natural magical place as her core to concentrate all her divine power, leaving her final gift to the few priests and followers who survived the disaster.]

……

"A pure woman..."

When Erin saw the learning requirements for "The Song of the Spring Maiden's Breath," he was speechless.

He clearly can't learn this sexist skill.

“Vera probably won’t work either, but since there’s no requirement that she be a pure female elf, perhaps we could let Mary give it a try,” Erin stroked the stubble on his chin. “If I remember correctly, Mary should perfectly meet the requirements.”

As for the effect of the Song of Spirits, which involves sorting out elements and ley lines, I'm not sure what that means.

In the Witcher world, there's never been a place in the Warhammer Fantasy universe where chaos has corrupted it to the point that normal intelligent beings can't survive. We'll just have to wait until Mary learns it and uses it to see.

but……

"When used on intelligent beings with latent chaotic magic, it can activate their hidden magical talents, eliminate the agitation of chaotic magic within their bodies, and regulate the magical circuits within their bodies..."

Erin murmured the words on the Spirit Song panel, recalling a little monster wrapped in a black headscarf who never wanted to see anyone.

"Eh~"

He sighed softly, put away the panel for the Spring Maiden's Song of Spirits, opened the Song Stone, glanced at it, and then closed it again.

The two chests opened by the devout Lydia's treasure chest are clearly a matching set, just like the decoction of a large monster and its mutation inducer.

The Song of the Spring Maiden's Spiritual Breath was originally a divine spell bestowed upon the priests by the Spring Maiden, Gwendolyn.

However, at the moment when the Spring Maiden has fallen, one can use the Song Stone to chant the Song of Spiritual Breath.

With a thought, a delicate silver ring inlaid with an emerald appeared in Erin's palm.

Observe carefully in the flickering firelight.

The gemstone on the ring is more translucent and flawless than the most precious jade, as if it contains the newly sprouted greenery of an entire forest in early spring.

But that's about it.

Upon closer inspection, the stone on the ring remained completely still, and even the wolf emblem showed no sign of movement.

“As expected, only pure women are acceptable…” Erin shook her head and put it away again.

There are actually quite a few things worth pondering in the panels of "Spring Maiden's Spiritual Song" and "Song Stone," for example...

The priestess of Gwendolyn, the Daughter of Spring, can use the Song of Spirits to unravel the magical pathways of nature.

However, the ability to unravel the magical pathways of intelligent beings was not originally possessed by the Daughter of Spring, but rather a gift from nature...

Divine magic should be the power of the gods borrowed by those favored by the gods, but at this moment it can be released through a tiny stone, no bigger than a little finger, when the Spring Maiden Gwendolia fell (or at least fell into slumber)...

The relationship between the divine and the self, and between nature and those favored by the divine, is quite meaningful. However, this can be considered later; Erin, continue reading.

Title: The Devil's Secret Contract

[Type: Magic/Divine Contract]

[Function: A contract in the name of a "demon" from another world. If either party breaks the contract, they will suffer punishment from the "demon."]

[Note: I know what you're concerned about! Safety, this contract is perfectly safe! As long as you don't think about breaking it. The so-called "demon" is just a name for all powerful beings from other worlds. Of course, as the host of the Demon Hunter's Notebook and the Child of Miracles, you have certain privileges. You have the right to break the contract, I said!]

……

【Name: High-Grade Hanged Man's Oil】

[Type: Sword Oil Recipe]

[Refining Requirements: Alchemy LV8]

【配方：炼金黏土*1、强化吊死鬼之油*1、吞食者之血*1、血苔*1、荷兰芹叶片*1、绿霉*1、硫磺*1】

[Function: When applied to weapons, it greatly increases damage against humans and demi-humans.]

[Note: From this moment forward, you are the natural enemy of all humanoid intelligent life!]

……

【Name: Pure White Lafarge Decoction】

[Type: Potion Recipe]

[Refining Requirements: Alchemy LV3]

[Recipe: Dwarven Spirits*1, Longleaf Plantain*5, Fiend's Heart*1]

[Function: Instantly restores a certain percentage of health]

[Note: One bottle of pure white Lafayette is worth one life.]

……

【Name: Water Ghost Pheromone】

[Type: Potion Recipe]

[Refining Requirements: Alchemy LV5]

[Recipe: Dwarven Spirits*1, Water Demon Brain*1, Mushroom*1, Hairy Mushroom*1]

[Function: After drinking, the water ghost will no longer attack the user for a certain period of time.]

[Note: Have you thought of any combinations yet?]

……

[Name: Ronnie Dickinson's Air Sorcerer Spirit]

[Type: One-time use magical item]

[Function: After use, you can learn all of Ronnie Dickinson's air magic spells and gain 20 points in arcane magic.]

[Note: Ronnie Dickinson, who was famous for his practical air magic, was not most proud of the "Superman Project" which seemed to have no end in sight, nor of the coveted high position in the Brotherhood of Sorcerers, but of the air magic that made him famous.]

He enjoyed playing with the lively wind elementals, but things rarely go as planned, do they?

……

The items found in Ronnie Dickinson's chest, including the Demon's Secret Pact and the recipe for High Hanged Man's Poison, are nothing special.

The former might be used in tomorrow's meeting with Wiegolford.

The latter further increased the chances of rescuing Henry Gedimidis.

However, Erin had never used the Hanging Man Poison. After all, while other sword oils could be used freely, the Hanging Man Poison couldn't just be used on anyone on the roadside, much less on other Witchers of the Wolf School.

Moreover, humans rely on armor and magic for defense, and their physical bodies are actually quite fragile. Apart from witchers, most can be killed with a single brick, and their poison resistance is also very low.

He was actually quite curious about the differences between the Hanging Ghost Poison, the Enhanced Hanging Ghost Poison, and the Advanced Hanging Ghost Poison.

However, it can only be used by Ban Ad.

The water ghost hormone and the killer whale potion (which, when taken, enhances underwater breath-holding ability and improves vision while diving) are a perfect match. If Hughes had had these two potions, he would never have suffered such a serious injury underwater while trying to escape.

The combination of these two potions can greatly reduce the mortality rate of ordinary witchers.

There's not much to say about Pure White Rafael Decoction; it's a life-saving potion even more effective than Swallow's Breath. Moreover, Enhanced Pure White Rafael Decoction instantly restores a large amount of health, while Advanced Pure White Rafael Decoction instantly restores all health and grants immunity to all damage for a short period.

Yes.

This is an "invincible" potion, literally invincible.

In the game, High-Grade Pure White Raphael was also a potion commonly used by Erin, since the only weakness of the Bone-Piercing Abandoned Wolf was its fragile skin.

As for Ronnie Dickinson's air mage spirit...

"Twenty points of mystery is very tempting, but..." Erin shook his head, "It's not worth it."

Learning all of Ronnie Dickinson's air magic might be an incredible stroke of luck for others, but for Erin, it was a nightmare.

Thanks to the genetic mutation upgrade, his character level is almost at 100. With the use of the Qi Sorcerer's Spirit, he'll probably push it to 150 or even 200.

Although he is now transitioning from individual hunting to legion hunting and will not deliberately suppress his skills, it is still worthwhile.

Ronnie Dickinson's skills ranged from high to low...

No!

Absolutely not!

Erin tapped his crossed knees lightly with his index finger: "Then Mary will have to benefit from it."

“After being exploited for so long, we have to give her something sweet…” He gently curled the corners of his mouth. “Besides, it’s not a loss for her to learn. She can teach Yenif later, and I can also pick out suitable skills to learn.”

"Plan goes through!"

Having decided on the ownership of "Ronnie Dickinson's Air Sorcerer Spirit," Erin was about to take stock of his gains.

At this moment.

Erin suddenly frowned and looked toward the cave entrance as if he sensed something.

"Pullingleng~"

The faint sound of wings flapping echoed in the empty cave.

He extended his right hand, and a crystal bird gently landed on his index finger, pecking at his knuckles as if urging him on.

"Mary's lovebird?"

Erin frowned, raised his right hand, and let the glistening beak rest against his forehead.

next second.

Mary's anxious voice immediately echoed in his mind.

"Aelin, the Headmaster... the Headmaster of Aretuza has suddenly come to Kaer Morhen..."

“Tessaya de Veris?” Erin paused, “Wasn’t it just yesterday that we agreed to meet tomorrow… wait… Kaer Morhen…”

His expression changed.

"Shouldn't it be in Kel Village at the foot of the mountain, and also in Vigorford..."

Before his thoughts could settle, the lovebird sent another message, interrupting him.

"The two strange people she brought with her are currently confronting Master Aristotle, Elni, Clare, and Fred in the training ground..."

"They're about to... about to... about to start fighting."
