After learning the method to increase the mutation level, Wayne became more enthusiastic about teaching Geralt.

Accompanied by White Wolf, a master swordsman, Wayne took up the silver sword and began to kill people around Kaermerhen.

His sword was fast and fierce, and in order to obtain more materials for making potions, many monsters suffered.

Monsters that are easier to deal with, such as water ghosts, Kikimos, evil ghosts, and Andelaeg worms, were almost killed to extinction due to Wayne's frequent attacks.

This made Geralt, who had been with him all the time, feel very strange. He didn't know why this young witcher was so obsessed with collecting materials needed to make potions. Did he like the taste of potions?

However, Wayne's crazy behavior of brewing potions only lasted less than a month before he had to stop.

In this cold winter, both the liquor needed to brew potions and the herbs grown all over the world are rare and expensive resources.

Such a large amount of consumption cannot be supported without prior preparation.

But even so, Wayne gained a lot from this month of crazy medicine training.

Ever since he learned how to make witcher potions, he would drink at least three bottles of potions every day. On the one hand, it was to practice his mutation skills, and on the other hand, it was to let his body adapt to the potions and enhance his resistance to poison.

This one month-long effort not only raised his mutation level by one level, but also enabled him to acquire a new auxiliary skill.

Alchemy LV1: potion effect +4%.

To achieve such results, the support of several demon hunters in the Wolf School is indispensable.

At dinner that day, Wayne prepared a sumptuous meal to reward everyone.

There were smoked sausages, pickled salted fish, braised rabbit, roasted venison legs, delicious fish soup, and sweet wild vegetables found in the forest, all together making up ten dishes.

While eating the soft white bread, Lambert couldn't help but sigh:

"Ever since I left the castle in Kaer Morhen at the beginning of the year, life outside has been like shit, and I've been missing Wayne's cooking."

“Even though they are just ordinary ingredients, he can always make them taste amazing.”

“Since then, I have been looking forward to the arrival of winter.”

"This year, we returned to Kaer Morhen half a month earlier than in previous years."

Eskel nodded when he heard this, and scooped himself a bowl of delicious fish soup from the plate. He drank half of the bowl in one gulp, enjoying it, and then said, "Wayne's cooking skills are better than last year."

Geralt was also enjoying a braised rabbit leg, eating it attentively without interrupting.

In the past month, accompanying Wayne in the cold forest every day to collect herbs and kill monsters was not an easy job.

However, the Wolf School Demon Hunters have always been extremely united. Although they have no blood relationship, they are like family and no one will be reluctant to sacrifice for their brothers.

Sitting at the head seat at the dining table, Vesemir, who is nearly three hundred years old, looked at the warm scene in front of him and couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

Ever since the Witcher Cult fell apart, the lives of the Witchers have become increasingly difficult, and opportunities like this for everyone to share delicious food and drink together have become fewer and fewer.

He coughed lightly, attracting the attention of the others, and then he spoke to Geralt:

"Since Wayne is leaving Kaer Morhen after the spring."

"Geralt, tomorrow, you will take him to the Ring of Elements in the back mountains."

"Help him activate the badge of our Wolf School."

"For us demon hunters, magic badges are indispensable tools."

Geralt didn't react yet, but Wayne's eyes lit up after hearing about the Ring of Elements.

The Ring of Elements is a good thing. It has been almost a year and a half since he came to Kaer Morhen, and he almost forgot about it.

Anyone who has played the game knows that the Ring of Elements can not only enhance the power of the Demon Hunter's sigils and charge magic items, but in the game The Witcher 3, it can also allow the protagonist Geralt to gain a skill point.

I just don’t know if it has the same wonderful uses in the real world?

Hearing this, Geralt picked up a glass of beer and drank it, shrugged nonchalantly, and said:

"Leave it to me, Vesemir."

"This isn't the first time I've done this."

The old demon hunter hummed, suddenly thought of something, and added, "By the way, you have to be careful of the group of trolls on the Troll Head."

"Something seems to have happened to them recently. Try not to conflict with them."

After saying this, the old demon hunter said to Wayne with a serious expression:

"And you, kid. I heard from Geralt that you've been drinking potions all the time lately, even when you're not fighting."

"These things contain a lot of toxins. Even though we are demon hunters, they will cause damage to our bodies."

"I don't know what you think, but for the sake of your health, you'd better stop doing this."

Wayne wanted to explain a few more words when he heard this, but seeing the concerned expression on the old demon hunter's face, he could only nod and said, "I know, teacher. I will pay attention to it."

He decided to reduce the amount of potions he drank during his stay in Kaer Morhen. He didn't have much potion in stock now, so if he drank them slowly, he might be able to hold out until spring.

After Vesemir finished his speech, the table became quiet again. Except for Lambert, the others were not talkative people.

Besides, the delicious food on the table was so tempting that no one had the mood to chat too much.

The next morning, Wayne, feeling somewhat excited, came to Geralt's room and woke up the White Wolf who was still sleeping soundly.

He couldn't wait to see whether the Ring of Elements would have any special effect on him.

If it can also add a skill point for him like in The Witcher 3, then in the future, searching for elemental rings all over the world will become a good way for him to increase his strength.

Geralt had a pretty good temper. After being woken up by someone, he cursed under his breath and said:

"Little guy, you are too impatient."

"Didn't the old man teach you? The most important thing for a demon hunter is patience and caution."

"Most of those who are not careful enough will die in the monster's lair within a year of their departure."

Wayne smiled somewhat embarrassedly, and said half-truthfully:

"Sorry, Geralt, I'm just too interested in elemental rings and magic emblems."

"I have prepared a sumptuous breakfast for you."

"Let's finish eating early and leave early. After we finish, we can still find time to hunt in the forest and bring back some game."
