28. No Alchemy Class?

Looking at the admiring expressions on the faces of the three young sparrows, Allen felt secretly pleased.

Unfortunately, he couldn't replace Vesemir to teach them. On the one hand, he had his own things to do. After learning the Law Seal in the morning, he had to go to the alchemy room to study alchemy. On the other hand, although Vesemir's teaching style was very plain, he was indeed a serious and responsible mentor.

Due to the difference in their abilities between him and the apprentices, Vesemir might find it difficult to correct the apprentices' detailed problems. But at least when explaining the Law Seal, Vesemir did his best to impart his knowledge to the apprentices as much as possible.

That's enough.

Allen could come back in the evening to correct their mistakes. This would be more efficient. After finally calming the apprentices down and having a dinner with added ingredients, Allen lay on the bed, thinking about everything that happened at night. The purpose of the selfless dedication of the sorceress has been revealed, and Allen has also put down a big stone in his heart.

At least from the current situation, neither the chief nor Vera had any plans to harm him.

As for the prophecy?

Can the future really be predicted?

In a trance, Allen heard the clear and distant voice of the sorceress again.

"To know the signs... first... FiliusMiraculi — Son of Miracles — is born in the bitter cold..."

"Death and rebirth, the non-human brings blood and fire..."

After lying back on the bed, these words lingered in Allen's ears, like a curse.

"Born in bitter cold... death and rebirth..." Allen pondered, "These are all things that have already happened, so they are not important for the time being."

The key is "the non-human brings blood and fire..."

Does "the non-human" refer to him?

And what does "blood and fire" refer to?

War?

"I don't want to think about it!"

Allen sighed deeply, "How can anyone see the future course from such vague statements?"

Now the most important thing is the trial through the mountains. As for this inexplicable prophecy. Let's think about it after the trial. Knowing the prophecy, Allen's life did not change.

The next day, Allen went to the apprentice training ground as usual with the apprentices, and then went to Vera's class before the practical class began. Yes, Vesemir exempted Allen from the "practical class".

"You don't need such practical training anymore. Don't waste the drowners you caught so hard.", This were the original words of the master witcher.

After finishing the alchemy class at noon, Vesemir would take the initiative to go to the alchemy room to find Allen and take him out to hunt drowners in Kaer Morhen. The master witcher seemed to have forgotten that taking Allen to Kaer Morhen yesterday was just incidental, and the main purpose was to capture drowners as practical class materials.

Allen did not remind him, just silently kept this kindness in his heart. After hunting, taking meals, taking medicine, practicing Mirage Pearls, teaching Law Seals, inventorying harvests, sleeping...

The daily life of a witcher apprentice became more regular. Except for the day when the character level was raised to level 5 and triggered a hunting task to kill 200 drowners. For a week in a row, Allen lived at this pace. He also thought that this kind of life would continue until the trial through the mountains. Unfortunately, On the seventh day, something unexpected happened.

"Snap"

A snap. The book on the alchemy table slowly returned to its original position in front of Allen. This scene has happened in front of Allen nine times.

He got up as usual, just about to say goodbye to Vera and Mary, when the sorceress suddenly stopped him: "Allen, starting from tomorrow, I will leave Kaer Morhen for a while."

Allen, who was about to reach the door, turned around in an instant, looking at Vera in surprise.

The sorceress is leaving?

What about his alchemy?

The prompt for unlocking alchemy skills is still lingering in the corner of his vision.

[Do you want to spend 7120 small experience pearls to unlock this skill?]

Different from the original plan.

Allen thought that unlocking skills would rely on hunting drowners, and the reduced demand during the alchemy class was just an additional factor. But since the fourth alchemy class, after Vera asked him to practice making the simplest hemostatic potion, the degree of demand reduction soared rapidly.

Instead, the progress of hunting stagnated due to the hunting task of killing two hundred drowners. The hunting task does not improve the hunting evaluation, and Allen's level has been raised due to several Law Seal skills. This resulted in very few experience pearls rewarded for each hunt. Therefore, the reduction in the requirement of nearly three thousand small experience pearls made Allen feel much better about hunting drowners every day. At this rate, even if he doesn't kill drowners, he can steadily unlock alchemy before the trial through the mountains.

After a brief pause, Vera explained again: "As for how long specifically, I'm not sure... It's something your chief commissioned for investigation..."

What can a witcher apprentice say?

The sorceress is free, and she is also a pivotal figure. She must have her own work and social relationships.

From the beginning, he knew this, but he always took it for granted because of the kindness of the sorceress. Moreover, even if it is an investment in his future, Ms. Vera has done enough.

After a moment of silence, Allen pulled out his most sincere smile and said:

"It's okay, Ms. Vera."

"If you are willing to teach me alchemy, I am already very grateful."

Upon hearing this, Vera stood up silently, walked to Allen's side. The smell of oranges mixed with cardamom gradually intensified. The sorceress reached out her right hand, gently raised it, as if she wanted to touch Allen's hair.

Allen was stunned for a moment, but did not dodge. In these days of teaching, even the suspicious Allen could feel Vera's kindness. The sorceress taught him so much knowledge so seriously, what's wrong with touching his head a few times?

But to Allen's surprise, the sorceress's hand did not come down. Instead of seeing him bow obediently, she shook for a moment, then slowly withdrew.

Then.

The sorceress just looked at Allen, the witcher apprentice, quietly and seriously for a long time. Although her face was expressionless, the complexity in the sorceress's eyes was hard for Allen to understand even in two lifetimes. He could only stand there uncomfortably, not daring to think about anything in his mind.

After a long sigh, Vera turned her head and shouted: "Mary!"

"Ms. Vera, I'm here," Mary responded instantly.

"For these days, you will teach Allen alchemy."

"Ah?"

"What? You don't want to?" Vera turned her head and glanced at Mary.

Her emotionless gaze, "genuine" sorceress, made Mary's hair stand up instantly, and she hurriedly replied: "I'm willing... I'm willing..."

Taking back her gaze, Vera hesitated for a moment, then turned her head and asked: "Allen... Are you still insisting on making potions yourself?"
