Wayne put away his steel sword and looked at his mentor.

Although the two consecutive battles were not particularly intense, Wayne 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 witcher seniors, so he must come up with a good 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 now qualified to compete. There is no need for a third match."

He glanced at the faces of Geralt, Lambert and Eskel.

"But you have no experience in dealing with monsters."

"In the next few years, you will team up with Geralt and carry out missions together."

"He will teach you how to become a true demon hunter."

As the old demon hunter finished speaking, the system prompt in Wayne's mind also rang.

Expert-level mission: [Departure] has been completed.

Gain 30 experience points and an expert-level treasure chest.

Originally Wayne wanted to try again, but after hearing the prompt that the mission was completed, he shut up.

In addition to striving for the qualification to become a master, one of the important reasons for working so hard in this test was to complete this expert-level task which was received for the first time.

Now it seems that the rewards are not bad. Thirty points of experience are equivalent to ten ordinary tasks. Although the expert-level treasure chest has not been opened, according to the system's instructions, in addition to a lot of coins, there is a chance of getting a rare item.

Speaking of this, his system column also stores all the ordinary treasure chests he has obtained in the past year and a half, one per day, a total of 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, you will definitely get a lot of good things.

Of course, he did not open the treasure chests in the castle of Kaer Morhen, for fear that the items he obtained out of thin air would arouse the suspicion of the old witcher Vesemir.

………………

Half a month later, heavy snow once again blocked the passage between Kaer Morhen and the outside world.

After obtaining Vesemir's permission to go out, Wayne's biggest task, in addition to his daily combat training, is to collect herbs, search for monsters, and find materials for making witcher potions in the forests, mountains, and rivers near Kaermorhen with Geralt the White Wolf.

Practice makes perfect, which allowed Wayne to apply the knowledge in books to reality and learn a lot of knowledge in herbalism and monstrosity that was not in the books.

The only pity is that there are forests and valleys around Kaermohan, and it is still a cold winter.

There were only a few types of monsters and herbs they could find, with water ghosts and evil ghosts accounting for the vast majority, and not many materials could be collected.

A small lake a few kilometers away from Kaer Morhen.

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 him running left and right among the group of monsters, sweeping with sword light, like a nimble cheetah, easily avoiding the monsters' attacks and killing them at will.

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, the young man overcame the instinctive fear of monsters. Faced with a blue-skinned, smelly, and hideous-looking water ghost, he could calmly pick up the silver sword and display his superb swordsmanship.

Thinking about his performance when he first faced the monster, Geralt shook his head helplessly, feeling like the new generation is being pushed forward by the old generation.

With the last horizontal slash, the sharp silver sword cut through the flesh and blood, and the water ghost's head flew high and hit the ground with a bang.

In less than two minutes, the five water ghosts were turned into corpses lying on the ground under Wayne's swift and skillful swordsmanship.

However, after killing all the water ghosts, Wayne didn't know what he was thinking about. He didn't make any other moves. Instead, he stood in the middle of the corpses in a trance, as if he was in a daze.

"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and take out the water ghost brain."

"Today's lesson is to make a swallow potion."

Seeing Wayne dazed with the silver sword after killing the water ghost, Geralt took the tools for brewing potions, stepped forward and patted his shoulder, and asked with a smile: "What's wrong? Are you scared after seeing these monster corpses?"

Hearing this, Wayne let out a breath and shook his head slightly. It wasn't because he was afraid, he just felt a little nauseous.

When I was fighting among the water ghosts just now, I didn’t feel it so strongly.

But after he chopped these five monsters, whose body structures were highly similar to those of humans, into pieces, looking at the scene of flying limbs and splattered blood on the ground, he, a time traveler who came to this world from a civilized society, suddenly felt a little nauseous.

This was not the first time he had killed a monster, but unlike the evil ghost and Qiqimo he had killed before, the appearance of the water ghost was too similar to that of humans. It was no wonder that many civilians mistakenly believed that the water ghost was a monster transformed from the bodies of drowned people.

Geralt didn't care. He took out a small knife from his waist, squatted down in front of Wayne, grabbed the head of a water ghost, cut the scalp of the water ghost cleanly, then pried open the water ghost's skull along a narrow crack between the bones, and took out a white walnut-shaped water ghost brain from it.

He deliberately slapped Wayne's chest with his palm covered with foul-smelling mucus, and said jokingly:

"Wayne boy, as a demon hunter, fighting and killing is only a small part of our lives."

"Dealing with all kinds of corpses is the main theme of our lives."

"From now on, you have to get used to living with corpses, mud, and dog shit."

As he said this, he put the water ghost brain into a basin-like container, then waved at Wayne and said:

"I heard from Vesemir that you really like others to give you tasks."

"Come on, our task today is to dissect twenty water ghost corpses and refine ten portions of swallow potion."

As soon as Geralt finished speaking, a system prompt sound appeared in Wayne's mind.

Trigger task: [Deal with the water ghost corpse and brew swallow potion] Normal level.

Do you want to accept the task?

Yes, confirm to accept the task.

Smelling the sour smell on the corpse, Wayne felt nauseous. 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 another water ghost's body.

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 kind of life dealing with corpses.

Anyway, when he acts alone in the future, it will be his freedom to accept any mission.
