Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Yade Town.

Earl Burns's manor.

"Bang!"

The orange portal suddenly appeared in the center of the room.

The sudden change in space brought up a strong wind, blowing out the candles.

The silk curtains, precious oil paintings, and bookshelves with precious parchment books were shaking constantly.

"Da Da Da~"

With the sound of crisp footsteps, a young man with a long pointed hat walked out of the portal.

He is the vice president of Ban Ade College, the son of the former direct line of the Feren family, whose titles span the three countries, Janes Feren.

After Janes walked out of the portal, he looked at the empty long table in front of the king with regret.

When using the portal, he also deliberately expanded the fluctuations of tearing the space, but he didn't expect that the king didn't have a meal.

"Ah! My dear 'big eater', what on earth has made you lose your appetite?"

"The great Lord of Kaedwen, are you so anxious that you sent servants to urge me to come?"

Jaynes looked at Haxo cynically, his tone sounding like a court jester.

Haxo didn't care, his face serious:

"Three days ago, the guards I sent to search for the target encountered a group of rock trolls at the station and suffered heavy losses."

Jaynes leaned on the windowsill and looked at the king with a smile: "Hmm, so what?"

"I just learned the news today..."

"Oh, that's really bad news!" Janes interrupted, and the gloating smile on his face became even more, "It seems that the king's guards are not very kingly, right?"

Jaynes didn't know why Haxo exposed his problem of controlling his guards to him.

But this did not prevent Janes from mocking the king.

Haxo had a blank expression on his face, not affected at all, and continued:

"After I learned the news today, I invited the dragon slayer Soi to go with my army tomorrow morning to deal with those damn monsters..."

Jaynes fiddled with the guard's sword carelessly: "Hmm? Then what? You called me here just to cry to me that your soldiers were beaten by a group of monsters..."

"And just now Ms. Vera came, she also wants to join in."

"Clang!"

Jaynes, who had half of the long sword pulled out, trembled with his right hand, and the long sword slid into the sheath.

Jaynes frowned: "What does Ms. Vera mean?"

"Witch Vera, Vera of Toussaint, Bloody Red Fox--Vera..."

"Hiss~"

Jaynes took a breath:

"You mean the Bloody Red Fox is going to join the team to defeat the rock trolls?"

Haxo nodded.

"This is impossible!"

"Ms. Vera is not a newly graduated witch apprentice from Aretusa, how could she be interested in destroying monsters..."

"Even if she lacks alchemical materials... With her coveted wealth, she doesn't need to obtain the rarest monster materials herself..."

"Even unlike those female sorcerers in the Warlock Council who appear to be demure and elegant but are ambitious behind the scenes, she has never shown any desire for power..."

"Since the uprising of Aileren, she has devoted herself to alchemy and made many achievements that shocked the entire wizarding world..."

"Do you know how many breakthroughs she has made in alchemy..."

As he listened, Haxo's eyes became strange.

Perhaps because he felt the king's gaze, Jaynes' tone stagnated and concluded:

"In short, Ms. Vera can't be interested in conquering the rock trolls!"

Haxo was silent.

Of course, he was not speechless because of Jaynes's persuasion.

He was just not sure whether to ask Ban Ade to change a male wizard to cooperate with.

"Couldn't Ms. Vera come to see Grandmaster Soi and just happen to come across my commission, so she can deal with those rock trolls by the way?"

"Impossible, Ms. Vera should be busy at this time..."

Before he finished speaking, Jaynes' eyes turned:

"Anyway, you just need to know that Ms. Vera can't waste time at this time to accompany that damn freak to hunt rock trolls."

Haxo's expression became even weirder.

"But Ms. Vera is in this manor now, and she will set off with us tomorrow morning."

Jaynes's expression froze.

Yes, since the sorceress has come, there must be something here that attracts her.

But it is absolutely impossible because of the demon hunter or coincidence...

Wait!

Jaynes suddenly looked up at Haxo:

"You said that the soldiers searching for the target encountered rock trolls in the garrison?"

Haxo's face was not very good, thinking that Jaynes was pulling his scar again.

But he didn't wait for his response.

"Rock trolls are different from water ghosts. They are intelligent. In order to avoid retaliation, they rarely attack humans..."

"Moreover..."

"Rock trolls are usually in mountains or caves where few people go. How could your people encounter them?"

Jaynes looked at the king seriously.

Haxo wanted to summarize the cause. After all, it was not glorious to sacrifice hundreds of elite knights and soldiers because of two thieves. This unruly wizard would definitely laugh at him.

But under Jaynes's insistence, he could only tell the story one by one with an ugly face.

Rarely, Jaynes did not take advantage of the topic, but asked with a change of face:

"How is the progress of the search?"

"Humph!" Speaking of this, Haxo was full of anger, "Three days ago, you told me that it would take at most three days to catch them."

"Now my people have almost finished plowing the search area you set, but they still haven't been found."

Jaynes ignored Haxo's complaints and asked very quickly:

"Have you caught those two thieves? Or do you know what they sneaked into the military camp to do?"

Haxo also noticed something was wrong at this time, and his expression became solemn:

"you mean?"

"Perhaps what we are looking for has never been on the ground," Jaynes gritted his teeth. "Ms. Vera may not have come for the witcher. Her goal is the gem!"

"Reject her, Haxo."

Jaynes ordered with a serious tone.

"In what capacity are you ordering your king?" Haxo scolded, deliberately looking nonchalant, "and I have already agreed."

"What!"

Jaynes took a few steps closer:

"Have you forgotten the contract between us?"

"We will help you find a way to find someone and kill someone, but the gem must belong to our Ben Ad."

"Hakthor, do you know the consequences of breaking the contract? Even if you are the king of Kaedwen, Ben A'd can..."

The threatened Haxo interrupted with an ugly expression:

"Of course I remember."

"But no matter why Vera came here, whether her purpose is the same as yours or not, she already knows that place."

"Would you rather let a powerful sorceress wander out of our sight?"

Jaynes was silent.

He looked seriously at Haxor for a long moment.

"Don't betray, don't take chances..."

"If we don't get the gem, even if someone takes refuge with Ms. Vera, he will not be able to avoid disaster."

Haxo sneered:

"Are you threatening me?"

"No, this is just a warning," Jaynes suddenly smiled, "A sincere warning!"

"snort!"

Haxo snorted coldly.

"In addition... no matter whether the two thieves who broke into the camp are elves or humans, whether they are for money, saving people or our gem..."

"They've been in there for three days!"

"Long nights and many dreams, my dear king."

“It’s better to advance the hunting time to tonight!”

Jaynes suggested as he gently brushed his right hand across the long oak table in front of the king.

After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Haxo hesitated:

"But my army cannot tonight..."

"It doesn't matter, my dear king, it doesn't matter..." Jaynes interrupted gently, "Powerful monsters cannot be solved by relying on numbers. I will personally take Ben Ade's wizards to participate in the hunt."

…

Abandoned mine.

The mist, so faint that it was almost invisible, drifted against the cave wind into the gap between the rock troll corpse and the rock wall.

"Hoo~"

In an instant, the mist condensed.

The demon hunter was carrying two swords on his back, holding an arm bone with strange proportions in his hand, squatting lightly on the ground, and also squatting in a pool of blood.

"I probably won't get used to the feeling of atomization in this lifetime!"

The demon hunter endured the discomfort of his stomach churning, and looked towards Francesca, who was not far away and covered her mask in surprise when she saw Aylin disappearing into mist and then regrouping, and nodded.

Although it will cause physical discomfort, the hiding effect of atomization is really good.

At a distance of nearly twenty meters, not a single rock troll spotted him.

As for why not use mirage beads?

Aelin reached out to the pool of blood on the ground.

He left a row of bloody footprints in Shan Shitou's nest. Was he afraid that Shan Shitou wouldn't know that he had stolen the house?

"Ding! Do you want to absorb the blood of the rock troll?"

Aylin's eyes suddenly lit up when he heard the familiar system prompt tone.

It works.

He had just been worried about whether living blood was needed to obtain blood, or whether it required voluntary blood donation from rock trolls like big rocks, small rocks, and broken rocks.

After all, the summoning mission is not a hunting mission, and there is no need to hunt monsters.

"roar!"

The roar came from not far away.

Mixed in are human curses, war cries, strong collisions and the sound of gold and iron.

The witcher, who was hiding behind the body of the rock troll, was not distracted by these noises.

Atomization, current, atomization, current...

Aylin held the arm bone of the little mist demon tightly and shuttled back and forth among the corpses of the rock troll.

In the process, he noticed that most of the death causes of these rock trolls were artery cuts and excessive bleeding.

Looking away from a burnt black cut wound, Aylin looked at the injury that could only be caused by a weapon containing extremely high purity silver, and thought to himself:

"In addition to inviting demon hunters, the human army does have other ways to deal with large monsters."

【bite! Mission: Summoning I (Collect Rock Troll Blood 10/20)]

Collect all the blood from the seven corpses.

Aylin breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the core of the fierce battlefield.

Three tower shields, which were taller than a man, were erected side by side at the entrance of the cave that could only allow five people to pass through, blocking the place tightly.

Faint magical aura circulated on the huge black shield.

This is definitely no ordinary tower shield!

The witcher thought.

The next moment.

"Crack!"

Shan Shitou broke off the three-meter-high stalagmite with both hands and slammed it towards the center of the tower shield.

"Boom!"

The collision of gold and iron roared out, countless times louder than the temple bells in previous lives.

"What?"

The witcher's blue cat pupils shrank violently.

The tower shield in the center seemed to be rooted in the ground with the other shields, motionless.

"What kind of props are these three shields?"

Looking at the faint ripples in the center of the shield, Ailin was extremely surprised.

"Boom!"

After this blow, Shanshitou seemed to be a little exhausted and put the stalagmite on the ground.

"Swoosh!"

At this time.

Several arrows with silver arrowheads suddenly shot out from behind the shield wall.

But most of them were blocked by Shanshitou's hard stone shell, and a few were shot into some non-fatal parts.

The arrows shot at other rock trolls were also firmly blocked by the trolls' hard shells.

Due to their small size, not even a single rock troll was injured.

No doubt.

The two sides of the battle must have exchanged ineffective offense and defense so skillfully many times.

"Just why?"

The demon hunter was curious.

"The rock trolls were forced to fight. Why did the Kaedwen army do such a thankless task like harassment..."

"Wait!"

"Harassment?"

Alin suddenly found that although the rock trolls on the front line of the battle looked aggressive.

However, looking at their attacking posture, they were obviously not as powerful as they were three days ago.

[... Trolls... don't eat... humans...]

The words of the big stone suddenly popped into his mind.

Yes, although the rock trolls are ogres in most monster books.

But according to the big stone, most rock trolls do not eat humans unless they are forced to.

Thinking of this, Alin was stunned for a moment and looked around.

Indeed!

Although the cave was in a mess like hell, there was indeed no sign of humans being eaten.

"The purpose of the Kaedwen soldiers is very clear."

"They are consuming these rock trolls!"

Let them starve, make them tired, make them weak, and finally find an opportunity to kill them.

Not only that.

The raging flames ignited by the torches burned the places where the corpses were most densely packed.

This is a net that is getting tighter and tighter, and the rock trolls have no way to escape.

"It's a pity that those soldiers are my enemies!" Alin thought, "Even worse enemies than the rock trolls."

Every soldier who survives here may become a sharp arrow in the hands of the King of Kaedwen in the future, piercing the heart of Kaer Morhen.

So.

The demon hunter thought.

"Puff puff puff..."

A slight landing sound, accompanied by a strong stench, large pieces of rotten meat piled up behind the body of the rock troll, in the blind spot of Francesca's vision.

In Alin's inventory, 80% of the inventory was poured out.

According to the appetite of the big stone, such a lot of rotten meat is enough for the twelve rock trolls to eat for ten days.

This is also including the consumption of the mountain stone.

"I don't know if the king will like this gift I gave?"

Alin couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Then.

The demon hunter took out the arm bone of the little fog demon and planned to turn into fog and leave.

Suddenly.

The picture of the mountain stone being injured by the silver arrow appeared in his mind.

Instinctively looking at the pit about five meters ahead, the demon hunter squinted and stared for a few seconds, then his eyes suddenly lit up.

There was a shallow pool of blood in the pit.

"It's the blood of the mountain stone!"
