Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

As soon as he asked the question, Aylin regretted it.

"Do you want to take me down the mountain?" Mary smiled, and then shook her head without waiting for him to speak, sighing, "Following me down the mountain is just a burden. Instead, I stayed in Kaer Morhen, doing things in the Corps. Go up, you can do a little more..."

Mary paused, then looked directly at Aylin with a pair of beautiful blue eyes:

"I want to help you."

The girl's voice was firm and complex, but like a stream flowing in summer, it could always find a channel enough to flow between the solid rocks.

Aylin averted his eyes unnaturally and opened his mouth slightly, but found that his throat was so dry for some reason that he could not pronounce a syllable.

"Hurry up and get ready. Don't leave anything behind. I'm going to find Master Aristo."

Mary said something with a smile and arched her eyebrows. Without replying from the witcher, she turned around and followed the path Vesemir took when he left, heading towards the main castle.

"Thank...thank you, Mary."

The girl hadn't walked a few steps when she suddenly heard the boy's voice behind her. The corner of her mouth curled up, and she turned around to reveal two shallow dimples.

"You're welcome...and...be careful..."

"I will wait for your return in Kaer Morhen."

Looking at the girl's leaving figure, Aylin didn't know what he was thinking and sighed quietly.

…

Since Mary took the initiative to hand over to Master Aristo, whether it was swordsmanship, seals or potion refining, the Demon Hunter Corps no longer had to worry about Aylin.

then.

Aylin was about to take a look at the training ground, and after handing Zhou Bi's final reward - the demon spirit's purifying spirit and essence to Erni, he went back to tidy up, and then joined Vesemir and left.

But I didn't think about it...

Before Aylin could take the initiative to search, Erni and Kalal approached with other demon hunters from the demon hunting legion.

"Captain, are you planning to go down the mountain?" Erni was pushed out by the crowd, his expression slightly nervous.

Aylin knew what the people in front of him were thinking at a glance.

"You want to go together."

This is a yes, not a question.

Erni and others nodded repeatedly, their eyes full of expectation and pleading.

They all know that if they don't seize this opportunity.

By the time Aylin comes back from going down the mountain to finish his business, it will probably be close to the time when the mountain is covered with snow and the school's demon hunters return.

By then, even if half of the apprentices have passed the high mountain test, they still have to wait until spring before they can go down the mountain again.

Aylin nodded upon hearing this.

Now comes the problem.

Should he take his "legion" down the mountain to rescue the dwarves?

Originally, Aylin planned to ride straight to Vergen with just him and Vesemir, then rescue Holden and then come back.

After all, the more people there are, the easier it is to expose your whereabouts.

Two demon hunters are definitely different from seven or eight demon hunters.

Kaedwen is currently at war, and is already very sensitive to small armed groups in the rear.

What's more, the relationship between the nobles of Kaedwen and the Wolf School is very delicate.

What's more important is the strength of the demon hunters. Once discovered, it will be difficult for Aylin and Vesemir to protect too many people in front of a large group of people.

But now, looking at the legion members who have been getting along with each other for a month, they have become warm again.

Aylin thought for a while, then with a thought, he threw an appraisal.

[Name: Ernie]

【Loyalty: 100】

[Attributes: Strength 16 (+7), Agility 10 (+2), Constitution 14 (+3), Perception 18 (+10), Mystery 7.5 (+2)]

[Skills: Wolf School Two-Handed Sword LV3 (1/1000), Ice Spear Curse LV2 (7/500), Quen LV2 (4/500)...]

The purifying spirit of the demon spirit and the heart essence of the ghoul can be used as weekly rewards for the apprentices. Naturally, all the members of the demon-hunting army under Aylin are full.

Twenty parts of the demon's purifying spirit brings ten points of perception, and twenty parts of the ghoul's heart essence brings five points of strength.

In addition, these demon hunters who had just passed the grass trial and the mountain trial were in a period of rapid improvement in attributes. In the six months since Aylin left, the average attributes had basically increased by two points.

Even though Erni is the member who has the best mutation effect caused by the Green Grass Trial, the other demon hunters have similar differences in attributes due to the purifying spirit and essence.

In addition, there are LV3 sword skills and LV2 seals per capita.

Compared with half a year ago, the strength of the members of the Demon Hunting Corps has more than doubled.

This is far beyond the ordinary peasant soldiers, at least with the average fighting ability of ordinary people who have honed their martial arts since childhood, and they can survive as a demon hunter down the mountain.

so……

"It seems...it's not impossible..." Aylin thought to himself.

And now that I think about it, it is not difficult to solve problems that are easily exposed due to the large number of people.

There is a cat's eye potion that allows you to ride a horse and go out day and night...

The purified mirage can conceal your whereabouts...

Even if he is discovered, he can use Yaksi to confuse the seal and interfere with his memory.

No!

No need for Yaksi!

Even if it is discovered, so what?

There has never been a country in the Northern Continent that has banned multiple demon hunters from crossing its borders.

What's more, does Kaedwin, who has not yet broken up and is engaged in a fierce war with Aedirn, really dare to take the initiative at this time and devote his energy to deal with the Wolf School in the interior?

He and Vesemir would worry about hidden plots from nobles and wizards.

Aren't the wizards and nobles, who have allocated most of their combat power for war and are internally empty, afraid of the revenge of the most powerful witcher school in the entire northern continent - the Wolf School?

Of course.

This is just the worst case scenario.

A few years ago, when Kaedwen launched a war to exterminate the elves, there were still demon hunters from the Wolf School shuttled across the battlefield to eliminate ghouls.

In just a few years, the common people and nobles of Kaedwen were not deeply affected by the rumors that slandered the witchers.

They don't need to be so cautious.

After thinking about it, Aylin did not respond immediately.

"I can take you down the mountain..." He nodded, "But this time I have to go to Aden to rescue the dwarf blacksmith. It will be very tiring and dangerous..."

The words have not yet finished.

"We are all demon hunters, who is afraid of danger..."

"Yes, yes..."

"No matter how tired you are, it's better than staying in Kaer Morhen where nothing matters..."

When they heard that they could go down the mountain, the excitement in the eyes of a group of demon hunters almost overflowed.

…

Danger?

How can they, the demon hunters, be afraid of this?

Besides, with the leader, Blue Death, the youngest master demon hunter, and the water ghost killer Aylin here, what monster can't be eliminated?

Surrounded by excited demon hunters, all kinds of words of flattery and swearing came to him as if they were free, and Aelin's ears were buzzing.

"Okay, okay, let's get ready," Aylin shook his head helplessly and arranged, "Gather in front of the main castle at noon, and then we will set off."

The demon hunters suddenly cheered.

At this time.

Mary led Master Aristo from the main road.

Aylin exchanged a few words with the bearded master demon hunter, nodded gratefully to Mary, exchanged a look, and left with the members of the corps.

…

Ben Ade.

"This can't go on like this, Master Mage!"

The wealthy man in luxurious clothes, holding the gemstone ring on his left finger tightly in his right hand, stood excitedly in a hall of Ben Ade College and complained loudly.

"three times!"

"In the past month, my caravan has been stopped three times because of those damn water ghosts!"

"The lost goods, including the liquidated damages that are about to be paid, half of my life's savings have been destroyed in one moment..."

"Yeah!" Another middle-aged man with a big belly couldn't sit still at this time. He stood up from his seat with difficulty and loudly answered, "Farmers who grow wheat don't dare to go to the fields anymore, for fear that they will suddenly jump from any corner. What monster came out."

"Chickens, cows, horses and other livestock were also killed or disappeared suddenly, resulting in heavy losses..."

"More and more food and grass are being collected from the front line. In a few months, there will definitely be a famine in Ben Ad..."

When it comes to the food supply in the city, the middle-aged wizard in black robe who is sitting at the top and has been silent can no longer just listen.

He rubbed his temples listlessly and looked at the middle-aged man:

"Hasn't the college already distributed the silver forks in stock to surrounding villages?"

"It's not enough, Master Mage!" The middle-aged man frowned, "I heard from the people below that those water ghosts suddenly became thick-skinned and thick-skinned. Those silver forks can no longer be used after two or three uses."

"There were also many silver forks that broke just after they were inserted into the water ghosts, so many people died."

"Now no one dares to use these silver forks to drive away water ghosts anymore..."

The middle-aged wizard suddenly fell silent when he heard this.

The research report that water ghosts seem to have become increasingly difficult to deal with in recent months due to the intersection of the heaven and earth was reported in the dean's office just a few days ago.

Why did the consequences become so serious before they had time to come up with countermeasures?

"Dear Master Drew."

The old man who sat quietly and combed his silver hair back waved his hand.

The two wealthy businessmen who were excited immediately fell silent.

The wizard known as Master Drew immediately straightened his figure sitting on the high-backed chair: "Count Pascal, please tell me."

"Mage Drew, we respect the contract when the city was founded and paid most of the city's profits in exchange for the wizards' protection."

"We have been getting along very well for the past hundred years."

Count Pascal looked at Master Drew solemnly:

"Now, the city of Ban Ad and the surrounding villages are in trouble. The voices of merchants and workshop owners protesting and complaining can be heard outside the parliament door every day."

"If the college doesn't take any strong actions, the situation may become very ugly when taxes are collected at the end of the year."

Just say it.

The atmosphere in the entire hall seemed to freeze instantly.

"You are threatening the academy!" Drew sat on a high-backed chair, his upright body suddenly leaned forward aggressively, his eyes narrowed with a fierce look.

Suddenly, the temperament of a refined scholar turned into a poisonous snake waiting for an opportunity.

"I don't dare..." Count Pascal sighed and stood up under the gaze of the wizard, "The king died in Ban Ade. Apart from the war, other impacts are only hidden. ”

Pascal looked deeply into the wizard's eyes that were faintly glowing with magic:

"We are one, Master Drew."

"The king died in Ban Ad, the celestial sphere converged and broke out in the center of the city, and now the water ghosts are mysteriously flooding and becoming stronger..."

"Let's do something as soon as possible, otherwise we will be kicked off those chairs before it's time to collect taxes at the end of the year."

The wizard was silent.

The voice of the heart is the same as the word of the mouth, and Pascal speaks the truth.

Actually.

As the wizard in charge of the city of Ben Ad, no matter how little he cared about the general affairs, he could still vaguely feel the complicated atmosphere in the city after the death of the king.

But.

Where are the extra manpower in the academy that can be used to free up...

"Don't worry, Pascal, the academy will ensure the interests of every ally." A gentle and firm male voice suddenly came from one side.

"Dean!"

"Your Excellency Henry Gedimidis! Good day!"

"Good day! Master Hen Gedimidis!"

…

The three foreign merchants and nobles immediately put their right hands on their chests and saluted.

Henry Gedimidis waved his hand, smiling at Pascal with tired eyes but a gentle face:

"It is an honor for Ban Ade College to have the Nash family as an ally."

The silver-haired old man immediately bowed in flattery and said, "No matter what, it is the glory of our Nash family to serve the academy and the demon source Hen Gedimidis."

"The academy is already aware of the abnormal outbreak of water ghosts, and is currently studying how to eradicate it." Henry Gedimidis nodded, "But this will take time."

Pascal hesitated for a second after hearing this and looked at his companions on the left and right:

"We will fight hard in Parliament..."

"That's not what I mean," Henry Gedimidis shook his head gently and interrupted, "It will take time to cure the problem, but the academy can first arrange some manpower to drive away the water ghosts that are severely affected or around key locations."

"That's really the best! Your Excellency Gedimidis!" The two wealthy businessmen nodded excitedly.

However, Pascal did not respond. Instead, he glanced at the expressionless wizard Drew beside him, frowned slightly, and said hesitantly:

"This won't have any bad impact on the academy, right?"

"If we can really develop a cure, we can still buy some time..."

Henry Gedimidis laughed:

"Pascal, this is Ban Ad, let alone some water ghosts, what kind of monsters can wreak havoc in our place!"

"You go back now and make it clear to everyone in the council, and make statistics on the places that have been seriously affected."

"Our people will arrive in the afternoon."

Henry Gedimidis' confidence seemed to have infected three people.

"Then we will go back and wait for your good news." Pascal said with a sigh of relief.

"Go!" Henry Gedimidis maintained that gentle smile.

"Squeak~"

Closed doors were opened.

The sunlight coming in was slightly unnatural and seemed to be slightly bluish.

Pascal had already stepped out with one foot, but seemed to be affected by the weird skylight, and suddenly remembered something.

He looked up at the sky, then looked back at Henry Gedimidis, but stopped talking.

But looking at Henry Gedimidis' gentle smile, he finally said nothing, nodded, and left.

"Pa~"

The door is closed.

Henry Gedimidis immediately retracted his smile and frowned slightly.

"Dean, are you looking for me?"

Henry Gedimidis nodded:

"Wild Hunt, any news?"
