The Witcher: Grinding Proficiency Starting with the Witcher

Li Wei looked at Mavis with respect.

"Professor Mavis, you just mentioned that their survival depends on the minerals in the water, and heavy rain migrations often occur in mining areas."

"And those are often the places where water pollution is most frequent. Their homes are destroyed, and the water ghosts have no choice but to leave in order to survive."

Mavis remained silent for a while before speaking.

"You're very smart to be able to find the key points from just a few words."

The words of praise from Mavis drew the attention of the surrounding apprentices once again.

Mavis looked up at everyone and continued, "Water pollution and a lack of minerals in the body are also among the reasons that cause the water ghosts to go berserk."

"You've all gathered around."

Upon hearing this, the apprentices all stood up and moved closer to Mavis.

Li Wei, being closer to the podium, was the first to walk over.

Mavis reached out her snow-white hand from beneath her wizard's sleeve and once again drew a silver-white six-pointed star array.

Something wrapped in tarpaulin appeared on the ground.

She put on white linen gloves, knelt down, and opened the oilcloth.

A strong smell of preservatives wafted out, causing many apprentices to pinch their noses.

Li Wei's pupils narrowed.

A humanoid corpse lay flat on the tarpaulin, about 1.3 meters tall, with a protruding jawbone and two pairs of fin-like structures replacing its ears.

Its dead fish eyes were a dark green, and its face was ferocious. Beneath its thick lips were two rows of serrated teeth that could not be concealed, as well as two catfish whiskers.

Its entire body is covered in blue scales, except for its smooth white belly.

Its hands and feet have webbed features, and its protruding claws gleam coldly.

"It's...it's a water ghost!"

An apprentice exclaimed in surprise, causing quite a commotion.

Mavis said, "Quiet, it's just a corpse."

She took out a small, silver-white knife, pressed it against the water ghost's jaw, and slashed downwards towards its throat. Thick, red blood gushed out, the pungent smell of blood overpowering the delicate fragrance emanating from her body.

"As a Witcher, your primary duty is to hunt monsters, and to hunt safely and efficiently, you need to know your target very well."

As Mavis spoke, she raised her hand to signal everyone to move closer.

"Pay attention here, this is the throat structure of the water demon. It can not only contract its cavity to spray out high-pressure mucus and water jets, but it can also expand during battle to emit a menacing hoarse sound."

"Therefore, the throat of a water ghost is very soft."

"As you all know, ordinary bleeding wounds have little effect on them. The only way to truly kill them is to cut off their heads with a single sword stroke."

She easily sliced ​​open the water ghost's throat with a knife, revealing a little green liquid.

"This is also the mucus from its abdomen, but when it is inside the water ghost, it produces a special property. With this property, they can not only eat live creatures, but also highly decomposed corpses. Therefore, scholars have classified them as ghoul species."

She straightened up, her gaze sweeping over the apprentices' shocked faces.

"If you were to use swords coated with poison now, would you be able to effectively harm the water ghost?"

Everyone shook their heads.

Mavis laughed and said, "That's right. They're not even afraid of highly decomposed corpses, so why would they be afraid of poison?"

"so……"

She took another bottle from her sleeve, dripped a drop of amber liquid from it, and let it fall onto the water ghost's throat.

"Hiss hiss hiss!"

After a slight sound, the green, viscous liquid shrank at a visible speed, turning into a scorched black.

"This is an alchemical potion I concocted. If you inject it into the water demon during battle, in a sufficient dose, it will destroy this property within it and cause great damage."

"Turka should have told you about this potion."

Li Wei blurted out instinctively, "Ghoul-eating creature sword oil."

Mavis said, "That's right."

"Alright, let's continue. Next is the water ghost's body..."

As Mavis dissected the body, time flew by at the speed of light, and it was lunchtime.

Mavis told the apprentices to return to their seats and used magic to pack up what they had brought.

He clapped his hands, a smile playing on his lips.

She was in a fairly good mood, without the resentment she had before coming.

After all, imparting knowledge to a group of obedient children is a very pleasant thing.

That concludes today's lessons. Now, everyone, go and have lunch.

"Thank you, Ms. Mavis."

Goodbye, Ms. Mavis.

The apprentices rose and bowed in farewell.

Li Wei quickly stood up and bowed to Mavis.

Whether it was the patient guidance during the lesson or the demonstration of dissecting the water ghost without complaint, the other party was undoubtedly a teacher worthy of respect.

Just as he was about to turn around, Mavis called out to him.

"Li Wei, wait a moment."

Li Wei paused for a moment, then looked at her.

"Come with me, Turka, let me examine your body."

Li Wei suddenly realized what the other person meant.

It's about the origin of one's own life.

Mavis walked ahead, with Levi close behind.

This scene also made many of the apprentices who were leaving feel envious and jealous.

Although Mavis wore a wizard's hood the whole time, and the apprentices tried their best to peek at her from various angles, it was like looking at a fog; they couldn't see anything clearly.

However, her snow-white chin and melodious voice alone were enough to make these vigorous young men's imaginations run wild.

"Li Wei is really lucky."

"Ms. Mavis is absolutely a great beauty."

"yes……"

Li Wei followed Mavis up the circular staircase to the second floor of the Witcher's Castle.

Even he rarely comes up here.

On either side of the narrow corridor are doors, ten meters apart.

These are the residences of official Witcher, and are extremely private and mysterious.

Mavis went to the third room on the right side of the corridor, used the key to open the door with the openwork pattern, and went inside.

"Come in."

Upon hearing this, Li Wei followed closely behind.

A rich aroma of herbs wafted towards us.

Li Wei glanced around the room out of the corner of his eye.

Above the room is a magic chandelier that illuminates the interior.

On the left side against the wall, there are rows of bookshelves filled with books.

Books that are rarely seen by ordinary people are neatly arranged here, like cabbages.

To the right are shelves displaying all sorts of strange and unusual items.

There are alchemical items from monsters, as well as gems and ores, but more often than not, there are bizarre herbs.

The front is a mahogany table with bottles and jars, various alchemy tools, and a small crucible on it.

Mavis naturally sat down in the leather chair behind the wooden table. Noticing Levi's shifty gaze, she smiled and said, "Levi, didn't Turka teach you that it's very impolite to casually look into a woman's boudoir?"

Li Wei withdrew his gaze, coughed lightly, and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Mavis, I'm just a little surprised by your collection. It's so extensive, and there are many things I've never seen in the castle."

Mavis looked up slightly. "Oh, you're interested in alchemy too?"

Li Wei stared directly at Mavis's snow-white chin, revealing her slightly curled red hair and alluring lips.

For scholars, the best way to communicate is to be pragmatic and realistic.

He had a great interest in alchemy and even magic.

"Yes, Ms. Mavis."
