The Witcher: Make Witcher Great Again

Chapter 8 I love learning, learning makes me happy

time flies.

For Lynn, whose daily schedule is packed and life is fulfilling, this winter feels as short as a few days.

By the end of February, even though the Blue Mountains were still covered in snow, the snow at the foot of the mountain had already begun to melt.

Geralt, Eskar and Lambert all left the castle at this time.

All the supplies they brought back last winter were used up this winter.

If they don't want to have to starve in the castle this winter, they must work with their hard-working hands and earn a meager salary.

Since Lynn's swordsmanship and magic signs have reached the level of a formal demon hunter, Vesemir can finally leave Lynn alone in Kaer Morhen without worry.

After all, it is better for four people to support one person than for three people to support two people.

And so, Lynn was left alone in Kaer Morhen.

After Vesemir and others left one after another, Kaer Morhen suddenly became empty.

Similarly, Lynn's heart felt empty.

Although he had only been in this world for less than a year, Lynn already regarded Vesemir, Geralt and the others as his family.

Perhaps it was because I was an orphan in my previous life and never felt the love of my family. In addition, living in a big city, everyone is always in a hurry, and I am exhausted by the increasingly impetuous society.

After the time travel, although it wasn't long, everyone in the Wolf School, including the sharp-tongued Lambert, took care of him like a member of the family, so he cherished them even more.

But as he traveled through time, he knew very well what would happen in the future.

Therefore, in order to avoid future tragedies.

Even without anyone supervising, Lynn did not slack off.

He goes into the mountains to fight monsters every day.

Of course, he was careful.

Try to only look for lone, weak monsters.

Because he knew very well that even for official demon hunters who had passed all the trials, the mortality rate was extremely high in the first year after coming down the mountain.

Being a formal witcher is nothing. Only when you reach the level of a senior witcher like Geralt can you say that you have a foothold in this dangerous world.

Therefore, he would rather earn less experience points and still prioritize his own safety.

Then at night, he would spend the whole night in the library, reading the vast collection of books in the castle.

Ever since the Griffin School's headquarters, Kaer Siren Fortress, was buried by an avalanche caused by warlocks, Kaer Morhen is the only place that still retains a large amount of witcher knowledge and books.

Lynn meditates only three hours a day, using meditation to replace sleep. The rest of the time he is immersed in the sea of ​​books, obsessed with it.

In this way, he spent three months reading all the books about monsters.

Then, he found himself suddenly with a lot of free time.

His original plan was to memorize all the knowledge related to monsters within this year, which would be the end of the year by then.

This way, when Geralt and the others come back this winter, he can have them teach him alchemy.

Because of his memories from his previous life, Lin En learned monster knowledge very well. He understood it quickly and could even apply it to other situations.

Therefore, unlike what was expected, it did not take a year, but only three months to memorize all the books on monster knowledge.

Lynn couldn't help but sigh.

Why didn’t I realize before that learning too fast can also be a problem?

Every day he would go to the mountains to kill monsters.

But now that I don’t have to study, I have free time in the evenings.

If you do nothing, it would be a waste of time.

Sitting in the empty hall, eating breakfast alone, Lin En suddenly had an idea.

Why do I have to ask Geralt and the others to teach me alchemy?
You can totally teach yourself.

There is an alchemy room in the castle, as well as books related to alchemy.

The herbs needed for alchemy can be found in the mountains.

As for the monster material...

Lin En has collected quite a lot in the past few months.

Even if your self-study speed is not as fast as that of having a teacher, the worst that can happen is that you just have to try a few more times.

As long as you can access the property panel, you can click on it.

It’s free anyway, so why not give it a try?

Lynn is a man of great action.

Whatever he thinks of, he does immediately.

If he didn't do it, he wouldn't be able to sleep well. So after breakfast, he went to the alchemy room in Kaer Morhen.

The alchemy room in Kaer Morhen is different from other places.

The walls of the alchemy room are made of thick stones, exuding a dark atmosphere.

He picked up the potion codex from the bookshelf in the alchemy room and began to read it by the light of the candle.

The first thing he learned was a potion called Swallow.

A symbol of spring and rejuvenation, the swallow lends its name to this potion that speeds healing and recovery.

Swallow potion is quite common and is suitable for use in many occasions without any side effects.

Additionally, Swallow Potion can be used to counteract the side effects of several other potions.

Lin En first read the process of brewing the swallow potion carefully several times.

He put down the medicine notebook, took some white clover flowers and water clover from the herb rack, and placed them in the stone mortar.

Use a pestle to crush and grind it vigorously.

Then he placed the cauldron on the fire and filled it with dwarven liquor.

He snapped his fingers.

Light the fire with the Igni Sign.

When the dwarven liquor in the crucible gradually boiled, he put in the crushed white clover and water dwarf brain and began to stir.

As he continued to stir, the liquid in the pot slowly turned red.

A quarter of an hour later, he extinguished the fire, waited for the potion brewing in the crucible to cool down, and then poured it into the cylindrical bottle that had been prepared aside.

He shook the cylindrical bottle and watched the liquid flowing inside turn from red to black, with a foul odor wafting out of it.

"Failed?"

Lynn's heart was calm.

He picked up the pharmacy notebook and reread the process for mixing the Swallow Potion. Then he put the notebook aside, supported his right elbow with his left hand, and gently tapped his cheek with his right fist, looking thoughtful.

"It's probably a problem with the heat. Try reducing the heat next time."

three days later.

Lynn looked at the cylindrical bottle filled with red liquid in his hand, and a feeling of joy surged in his heart.

Successful.

Although the swallow potion is a basic potion among the witcher potions, Lin En still feels excited and thrilled after successfully mixing it.

He opened the property panel and found that the property panel had not changed.

The Demon Hunter's alchemy mainly covers three aspects: sword oil, magic potions, and alchemical bombs.

"Isn't this really enough? I don't need to mix all the recipes before I can access the attribute panel."

Unfortunately, he hit the nail on the head.

Half a year later, after Lin En had finally managed to mix all eight types of sword oil, eighteen types of magic potions, and seven types of bombs, he finally...

A line of golden text appeared before my eyes like a waterfall:
New Skill: Alchemy (Beginner)

Lin En poured all the 3 attribute points he had saved from killing monsters during this period into the "Alchemy" skill.

He looked at the text at the back, which after a moment of blurring became "mastery" and then "proficiency".

A large amount of alchemical memories were transmitted into his mind.

After the transfer was completed, Lynn found that his mind had gained knowledge and experience equivalent to ten or twenty years of work.

He closed his eyes and carefully felt these extra memories.

These memories were as if he had really stayed in this alchemy room, repeatedly blending alchemical items countless times day and night.

"call."

He let out a breath.

He stood up and walked towards the materials on the table.

He began blending again.

But this time, the blending process was extremely smooth. He no longer had to think while doing it like before, and sometimes he had to stop and think.

Instead, when he "wanted" to make a bottle of swallow potion, his body moved subconsciously, and the whole process was smooth and he didn't stop at all.

When he finished blending, he not only successfully produced a qualified product that previously required full concentration, but also greatly shortened the time it took.

This also means that in terms of alchemy, he has reached the level of a formal demon hunter.
