Chapter 1109: Monster (2200 2400 Supplement)

"Kalin is likely not suffering from a physical ailment."

"Among the herbal ingredients of the Virility Decoction, many have the effect of invigorating Qi and Blood; that is likely what he has his eye on..."

After several transactions, Kalin was quite satisfied with Aaron's discretion and reliability, but he had no other requirements.

Aaron, meanwhile, remained calm and collected, having clearly gauged the quantity of medicinal herbs Kalin required.

After all, how much time it takes to consume how many herbs could not be hidden from him.

"But there is no guarantee the other party doesn't have other sources for herbs... Besides that, as long as he isn't a fool, he will certainly keep a few core ingredients to search for secretly himself, not giving outsiders the slightest chance."

He casually glanced at his attribute panel:

And based on the fact that the other party was still purchasing herbs from him, Kalin had not yet taken that step!

If one had already become extraordinary, the Bull Decoction would have no effect.

After a long period of exploration, he could roughly confirm the proportions of the other herbs, and furthermore, determine that this decoction was only missing the final main ingredient!

【Skills: Reading and Writing (Proficient), Herbalism (Novice), Swordsmanship (Proficient)】

At the same time, a strange herbal fragrance gradually spread.

After all, one could not ask for more from a laborer who helped you patrol the night for free and warded off grave robbers.

Just by breathing in a little of that scent, Aaron could not help but swallow his saliva.

"Yes, Winnie, bring me a cup of mead and a plate of roasted meat."

In reality, in rural villages, girls generally married even earlier than this age.

Aaron stared at the furnace fire and opened another bottle stopper.

【Talent: Immortality】

To one side, there were also a large number of pitch-black, foul-smelling decoctions; these were all the results of Aaron's failures.

Outside the Graveyard, the cold wind howled.

Long-leaf Root is the root of a vine and is very common.

Before long, the rabbit locked in the cage became manic, crazily gnawing at the bars.

He glanced at Thor, and immediately stopped talking.

"However, it still needs to be tested."

Aaron took a sip of beer and thought casually.

【Age: 30】

Half a month later.

Aaron rubbed his chin: "Here... does this mean I have to decoct that Ghoul? I'd rather not..."

Quite a few village girls even secretly cast flirtatious glances at Aaron.

Aaron pushed open the tavern's wooden door and saw a woman with a waist like a water barrel carrying a wooden bucket to pour ale, and he couldn't help but laugh.

This kind of matter was something everyone could talk about freely, so the merchant spoke very loudly.

As for purchasing materials in the village?

As far as he knew, the women in the tavern now all aimed to become the next Winnie...

Aaron rubbed his own chin, but he didn't care.

"It seems that a core decoction requires at least one Extraordinary Material."

He had roughly guessed a few things, but the specifics still needed to be verified.

The effect of the Bull Decoction was not bad.

Whether it was a passing Witcher taking action, or Kalin being unable to resist making a move, both were excellent opportunities!

"I am the Gravekeeper of Yanan Town; I have come to buy a few chickens."

The farmers leading the way introduced them all at once, and finally added: "The chickens at my house are the best grown..."

Aaron also followed the others and let out a good-natured laugh.

Aaron arrived at Ivey's home.

"Boss Winnie... bring me a beer!"

"Is it by plundering the genes of external objects and fusing them with the human body to form unique abilities, or by inducing mutations?"

What he had his eye on was not this Bull Decoction that could only provide slow progress.

"Failed again..."

"Yes, either Lilith and her husband return the power, or Catherine is defeated; otherwise, they have no other path to take..."

"This gentleman, who are you?"

Finally... it died!

Aaron opened a bag nearby and added the ox blood inside.

The serfs were all a bit afraid; those legendary monsters would eat people!

Yet in reality, they had never been in close contact with a monster in their entire lives.

【Witcher Decoction (Unnamed): Long-term consumption can increase physique and agility until the Human Limit.】

"I was just... feeling a bit emotional." Ivey smiled very reluctantly.

And Aaron knew what kind of storm Catherine coming of age would bring to the originally peaceful Lancaster Territory!

When passing by a cowshed, a thoughtful expression appeared on his face: "The Cowherd here is old Yodun, right?"

The most critical thing is that with his combat experience, once his body reaches the limit of a mortal, even if he were to slay a few extraordinary creatures, it might not be impossible.

Based on his experience, any more might actually cause the medicinal properties to lose their Balance!

After the flames in the furnace gradually extinguished, a portion of Decoction appeared before Aaron.

"So... the last ingredient is likely something he can obtain very easily, for instance..."

One drop, two drops...

"Hey! Have you all heard?"

Ivey replied with a face full of worry: "Do you know? Lady Catherine's birthday is coming up soon... The castle is preparing to hold a banquet for her, and after her birthday, Lady Catherine will be fourteen!"

The next day, early morning.

He teased the other's chubby little hand and looked at Ivey: "What's wrong? You look so troubled?"

Well, in this ignorant Middle Ages, it is generally believed that a girl is considered an adult at fourteen and is already capable of being an excellent mother.

'So... after waiting for so many years, has something finally happened in the Baron Territory too?'

A farmer saw the relatively clean clothes on Aaron and immediately took off his hat to show respect.

Just then, the tavern door was pushed open, and a man who looked like a merchant walked in, shouting loudly: "Wolf told me... he saw a monster in the orchard!"

Gurgle!

The furnace kept emitting heat, and finally, it boiled down to a foul-smelling liquid.

Furthermore, he had also figured out the core philosophy of the school of that extraordinary assassin, who was likely a Witcher.

That would inevitably make Kalin suspicious, so Aaron would never do it.

"How could it be the same?"

Aaron offered a word of comfort: "This really is none of our business; we just need to wait patiently for the result of the matter and then accept it..."

"Named—Bull Decoction!"

The next moment, the term for the Witcher Decoction was changed to the brand-new 'Bull Decoction'.

No one is willing to come to the Graveyard at night, except for grave robbers!

"Something big is going to happen in the territory."

He got along quite well with the other person.

The next day.

He muttered to himself internally: 'Uh... my expectation doesn't seem to be a very good one...'

"Yes, he has a good son who is currently serving as an attendant in the castle and comes back to see him every month."

Well, in order to maintain his persona, after visiting Ivey, Aaron naturally had to come to the tavern for a drink.

Moreover, she had completed a magnificent transformation from a barmaid to a tavern owner, which could be considered a small counterattack.

Finally, he found an opportunity and obtained the thing he wanted.

Thick rocks were piled up to form the outer walls of the castle; the interior windows were small, and long Candles were lit in the corridors.

Apart from the Gravekeeper, no one dared to touch them.

And the Venom Grass was entirely black and highly poisonous, so Aaron was extremely careful when picking it.

Not long after, he left the village, carrying a few local chickens in his hand.

After putting the various materials into the furnace according to a certain ratio, an indigo color suddenly bloomed.

He was somewhat looking forward to this legend being true.

After all, according to the prescription, for Kalin to truly become a Witcher, he was still missing a material of an extraordinary rank.

He grabbed a rabbit nearby and poured the Decoction directly down its throat.

"It seems... this is just the most basic potion of that assassin school; the truly core potion for inducing mutation and breaking through to the extraordinary must never be entrusted to anyone else, but must be searched for bit by bit by oneself..."

Aaron happily felt that his strength had increased again.

This day.

Night.

Swearing in the name of the other person is very likely to be true!

And once this period of time passes, this furnace of Decoction will be ruined.

Aaron smiled and did not stop his pace.

"However, this failure has given me great inspiration... Failure also has the value of failure; compared to the previous few times, it is undoubtedly getting closer to success."

'As an attendant, the channels he can access are very limited...'

Those who reach the Human Limit are still mortals!

Inside the bottle was the spinal fluid of a bull!

However, Aaron's heart was already raised.

The merchant was provoked: "Have you ever seen a deer standing upright? Wolf swore on his mother's honor that he really encountered a deer-horned monster!"

The final Datura Petals were very beautiful; they only grew on the edge of the Graveyard and often represented ominous omens in folklore.

"Is it time for a showdown?"

At the same time, there was also a little emotion in his heart.

The only thing that came close was the Water Ghost that once appeared in the Roland Territory, but few people witnessed it before it was dealt with by a passing Witcher.

"Long-leaf Root, 150 grams..."

A drunkard laughed: "I don't think we should go looking for a Witcher; finding a hunter could solve this problem, and we could also get some venison!"

Ivey was full of worry: "Lady Catherine is, after all, the heir designated by the old Baron. I once followed others and witnessed this scene... but..."

Aaron's heart stirred.

Aaron was leaning on a wooden stick and had already arrived here.

At this time, there were already a few guests in the tavern, drinking and chatting in low voices, and names like Catherine reached his ears from time to time.

Their greatest wish is to marry into the city, so they no longer have to farm and live in the fields.

Little Thor is already able to toddle around on the ground.

Everyone's attention was quickly drawn to him: "In Wolf's orchard? A monster appeared?!"

This is his body, craving this potion!

Aaron pinched up a little, feeling the effect of this decoction smeared on his skin after the temperature faded: "Not quite right..."

Clearly, the entire territory knows what is about to happen.

After returning to the Graveyard, Aaron continued to slack off every day as if nothing had happened...

On the wooden table, portions of herbs were strictly divided, and a fire was burning under the stove nearby, with the clear water inside already boiling.

Witcher Decoction (incomplete, unnamed), ingredients: Long-leaf Root, Datura Petals, Venom Grass,???

Ratio:...

"Next... is the waiting I am best at..."

'The places he often goes, the materials that are easier to find, I have already tried one by one...'

【Name: Aaron (Zoro)】

Aaron looked at the attribute panel, a slight smile appearing at the corner of his mouth.

Tavern.

He also knows Wolf, knowing that although the other party is rude, he loves his mother very much.

'If it was Catherine's side that deliberately released this news? Then there really is a master...'

Effect: Long-term consumption can gradually enhance physique and agility; due to the lack of main ingredients, there is currently no effect, and additionally... it may lead to toxin accumulation.

This man, after all, still cares about his own family.

Aaron found a random excuse to enter the village.

Aaron was expressionless as he came to the wooden table on the side and continued to start the ratio.

To obtain extraordinary power, one must break this limit!

Here, besides having alcohol and meat, and waitresses who are decent-looking, the news is also top-notch in the Baron's territory.

He grabbed another new rabbit from the side and began the experiment...

After dripping in six drops of cow's spinal fluid, Aaron stopped his actions.

Kalin was dressed as a Knight Attendant, with a long sword tucked at his waist, guarding outside Miss Catherine's room, his expression solemn!

Because he had once caught an assassin targeting Miss Catherine.

The merchant sat down and let out a long breath: "I also heard it from Wolf... When he went to patrol the orchard last night, he saw a monster with deer antlers!"

After all, this looks like a city person at a glance.

Aaron tidied up his things and fell into a deep sleep.

Aaron's expression was grave, but in his heart, he was wondering when Kalin would explode?

"Wolf has always had poor eyesight; that might just be a deer stealing food!"

Therefore, Aaron lived a very leisurely life.

It also happened to be a good time to use the night for experimenting with potions.

The former tavern waitress Winnie, after getting married and having children, has changed quite a bit in figure.

It was the potion philosophy of this school revealed from the formula during the process of exploring it!

This is the most important thing!

In other words, Aaron has already laid the foundation; if he obtains another incomplete potion formula of this school, the progress of exploration can be accelerated quite a bit!

When his attention was focused on Herbalism, individual sub-columns appeared:

Virility Decoction (Master), Hemostatic Agent (Proficient), Energy Decoction (Novice)...

Until today, he had a flash of inspiration: "Perhaps... Kalin only has me as a material supplier."

Then, it was to try them one by one according to Kalin's movements!

Lancaster Castle.

The more this is the case, the less Lilith and her husband dare to act easily.

A village near Yharnam Town.

Below a list of items, there was also one flickering with a gray light.

Aaron looked at this potion and fell into deep thought: "Human Limit?"

But the other party committed suicide easily in the prison!

This allowed Kalin to quickly lock onto the mastermind behind the scenes, but he was also somewhat helpless.

That couple's defensive power was equally incomparably strong; unless... he became someone like his teacher, there would be no hope of solving it!
