Chapter 14: 14The Witcher’s Dilemma

 Chapter 14 14. The Witcher’s Dilemma

 Lan En did not respond to the question in his mind.

  Not only was there no response from the mouth, but there was also no voice from the heart.

Horse hooves are still clattering, and O'Riden is getting closer and closer.

The silence was a bit long this time, long enough for Mentos to think that Lan was indeed reconsidering.

"Mentos, tell me what I want to drink when I enter the village tavern later? Mercenaries and demon hunters all have to do this when they go to the tavern, right? I found all the money from the teacher. Let's have a cup of Royal Vizima? The last time I saw it, they had it on the shelf. To be honest, except for a few magic potions when the Witcher was transformed, which used alcohol as the base, I have never really heard of wine in this world."

Lane looked seriously to Mentos for advice.

The biological brain was a little unresponsive for a moment.

"No matter how small a amount of alcohol enters the digestive system, it is not a good thing. For the anti-toxicity and work content of the witcher, alcohol-containing potions are necessary, understandable. But I still recommend that you stay away from alcohol in your daily life, if you must If you want to drink, please choose the one that has gone through strict craftsmanship, which means it is expensive. No!"

 Mentos didn’t react until he gave the suggestion.

 “That’s not what we were talking about just now!”

 On the contrary, Lan En seemed to be understatement.

 “There’s no need to talk, Mentos.”

 “It’s very necessary!” The intelligent voice in my head said seriously.

“[Alien Survival Mode] requires me to care about your life and safety to the greatest extent. I know what you are here to do. I feel that I have some responsibility for the families of the two farmers, so I came to make up for it.”

 “That’s right, I and my operating logic fully recognize your moral standards. But!”

 Smart voice was like thunder in Lan En’s ears.

 “But, sir!”

 “You are already a witcher!”

 The causal relationship between the two sentences is not strong and seems to have no beginning or end. Even an ordinary person with basic education will not have this kind of problem with wording.

 Let alone a biological brain based on [logic].

 But the understanding of the discourse needs to be combined with the context.

 In this world where racial conflicts are so severe that it is not surprising that a massacre occurs at any time, becoming a witcher represents more than just an "employment direction."

 It represents that Lan En has completely changed the human race and has become a creature that is not recognized by the mainstream intelligent race - that is, human beings.

 You will only be a witcher for the rest of your life.

This is what Mentos had to say.

 It is necessary to deal with monsters and beasts in the wild, because both cities and countryside will be repulsive and hostile to witchers.

This is a dangerous world, and Lan is now trapped in a profession that is incredibly dangerous.

If you want to eat and live, you have to work hard to make money in this profession.

 This is a cage built by the discrimination of the world.

As a witcher, but want to do something else to make a living?

Ha ha! The Jews in Germany during World War II actually wanted to do something else, but in the end most of them had to stay in concentration camps.

At that time, it was much harder to distinguish a Jew from a crowd than a witcher.

Mentos’s estimates of the future are always not optimistic.

 In Bordon’s course, Mentos recorded every sentence and the tone of each sentence in detail.

 In the records, a qualified demon hunter should master superb swordsmanship, proficiency in the use of sigils, proficiency in the preparation of various alchemical products, and most importantly - superhuman tracking technology and knowledge of monsters.

 The last two are particularly important. It can be said that they completely determine how long a witcher can live on this continent.

 You don’t have to accept tasks that you can’t complete, but you must first know what you will face before you can draw a reasonable conclusion.

 Mentos used Bordon as a standard to measure Lann's current ability as a witcher.

 The conclusion drawn is - more than apprenticeship, but not enough to become a master.

 Swordsmanship and seals, this kind of visible and tangible power, are only natural to progress with the help of intelligence.

 But the lack of all kinds of knowledge and experience is extremely dangerous, just like having only one of the two legs left to use. The school of witchers has the experience of hundreds of witcher masters who have sacrificed their lives, and the research results of the archmages on monsters and curses.

 But Lan En now has nothing.

He is now like a prisoner trapped on a one-way street on the edge of a cliff. He can only move forward carefully in a situation where he may be broken into pieces at any time. Use one leg!

 Mentos was a little anxious.

It wished that Lan En could withdraw Bordon's hidden savings now to find a stable environment for the funds, regardless of whether it would take a period of time to make up for the lack of ability.

  Then put the gene seed in the glass jar into the chest cavity. Regardless of its unknown effects, it is better than losing your life if you make a mistake in the future, right?

After that, embark on the path of a witcher and seek development.

 This is a prudent and reasonable plan.

 The biological intelligence brain born from the Human Alliance analyzes the life safety of its owner as the first priority and comes up with the best route.

 It would be difficult for anyone to come up with a single refutation in this kind of plan that is rational and clear-headed and puts themselves in their own shoes.

"I reject."

 But Lan En didn’t even hesitate for half a second.

 He simply rejected Zhinao’s proposal.

The calmness and determination of that voice were just like his current [mood curve].

The graph that Mentos combined with hormone levels and brain wave activity is now as smooth as the electrocardiogram of a dead person.

 Emotional ups and downs should be the norm for young people.

 But for Lan En, even a moment ago he was still moved and happy for his freedom and life.

The next moment, two corpses were swinging in front of him like keys on a key chain, reminding him that this was a difficult world.

 But he will no longer let himself lose control because of this kind of thing.

There are things to be happy about in this world, and there are also things that are disgusting.

People live in such a world.

“For the rest of my life, I will do what I think I should do. After experiencing a sudden and near-death experience, I decided like this.”

Lann spoke impassioned words, but Lan En's tone was more like a "brain" than Mentos at this time.

 Calm, steady and focused.

  Not because of digital calculations, but because of determination as a human being.

Mentos said no more.

 It doesn’t know what else to say.

“The biological brain is the [auxiliary] of human beings.”

Mentos suddenly realized a sentence left in the underlying logic.

In the definition of the People's Internet, biological brains with data capabilities that far exceed human beings, and the intelligent interactive interfaces within them are not that rare or important.

  The important thing is the people.

 A person who has made clear his own determination and the value of life.

 Under that radiant will, even the stars will be played in the hands of small creatures.

 The biological intelligence brain is to [assist] and select such people, which is why it becomes important.

 Not controlled by Mentos, the underlying logic of the brain is touched.

After a series of precise condition searches, in the restricted lock of the brain, [university level course completion] quietly reached an unlock.
