Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"The summoning badge is a gadget that Ben Ade gave to the wizards." Noting that Aelin showed curiosity about the badge, Wigfortz explained, "When the college is in danger, the dean or several The vice-chancellor will activate the badge and summon wizards from all over the northern continent to return for rescue..."

"The product of the influence of the Ben Adhei sun two or three months ago."

"At that time, because the main force of the college was in Aretusa, they were unable to rescue immediately, resulting in heavy losses."

"And the current status level of the summoning badge..."

He glanced sideways at the badge whose sirens were getting louder and brighter:

"The city of a thousand towers may have been half burned in blazing flames like Maribo under the double cross of Arzu in the legend..."

Aylin raised his brows when he heard this, and looked at Vesemir who was approaching cautiously, thinking that the shocking movement in the afternoon really came from Ben Ade.

"Weige, this is..." Lydia came over and interrupted in a panic.

Vilgefortz shook his head in disapproval.

However, he did not continue talking. After seeing the sorceress, he turned his head to look at the sorceress without warning and asked softly:

"Are you okay, Lydia?"

"It's okay." The sorceress shook her head slightly.

But the complexion is as pale as white paper, the breathing is rapid and intense, the calves are trembling slightly, and all - about two - chest collar buttons are missing, making the originally elegant clothes a mess...

All these external characteristics illustrate one point...

She was not as relaxed as she said.

Both the battle with Vesemir and the Arzu Thunderbolt technique were too difficult for her.

Vesemir looked very embarrassed at first glance.

His body was covered with dirt and grass, and his face was bloodless due to the giant ghoul decoction and blizzard potion. There were even black veins bulging on his temples.

But just by listening to the steady breathing, you can tell that the master demon hunter still has the strength to fight again.

What's more, the dark golden irises are also stained with blue.

Just now, perhaps even if the thunderbolt technique is successfully released, it will not be able to do anything to the master demon hunter. Instead, it will give the experienced Vesemir a chance to completely defeat the sorceress.

Aylin was completely relieved when he saw this.

After calmly canceling [Demon Hunting], he leaned over and carefully picked up the jade statue on the ground.

Shocked, confused, bleary-eyed, joyful...

Not only did not one of them look angry and struggling, but there was even one with a smile on his face.

Simply outrageous!

From this point of view, the young demon hunter didn't know whether it was because the difference in strength was too big, or because he was not vigilant at all, or both.

The moment he appeared, he was subdued and made into a jade statue using the art of transformation and sealing.

Judging from the ugly look on Vesemir's face, they must feel better after this incident is over.

"Dangdangdang~"

The bells calling for badges tolled anxiously.

Aelin and Vesemir were still there, and Wilgefortz only expressed concern for Lydia.

When he saw the demon hunter picking up the jade statue, he didn't stop him.

Vilgefortz also stretched out his right arm, and when the sorceress subconsciously moved her right foot to stop her, he stopped her, and then watched Aelin put away the jade statue without moving.

After putting away the jade statue, Aylin looked up, and Vigefortz even smiled at him gracefully.

If it weren't for the original burst of magic power still remaining in his mind, the strong killing intent would remain.

Just by looking at the friendly smile, one would have thought that the two of them were good friends who had not seen each other for many years, and they had just made a joke.

"As expected of the original work, he is the great boss who thrives in the middle of the two major forces of the Northern Kingdoms and Nilfgaard..."

Ailin secretly increased his vigilance.

"The vision coming from the north cannot be concealed. They must have seen it too. There is no point in covering it up for Ben Ad." Wigofortz patted Lydia on the shoulder and motioned for her to relax.

"But since we have joined Ban Ad, we will naturally be restrained by Ban Ad. Therefore, we have to take some drastic measures..."

"Hmph~" Vesemir snorted coldly.

Aelin was silent.

Vilgefortz abducted the young demon hunter before the vision occurred, not to mention leaving a provocative letter.

But Aylin also knew that this was just an excuse for both parties to step down.

The reason why Vilgefortz suddenly changed from being full of murderous intent to being so kind and even willing to take a step back is not yet clear.

But here, the demon hunter actually had two hostages in his hands.

Had to compromise.

therefore.

Vesemir snorted coldly and said nothing more.

The gentle moonlight shone down, covering the land littered with gravel and mud with a layer of quiet silver light.

Both parties have the desire to ease the conflict, and the tense atmosphere will naturally ease.

"Shua~"

Another jade statue appeared in Wigfortz's hand and gently floated into Aylin's hand.

Follow closely.

A small box appeared on the ground in front of Wilgefortz.

"The Transformation Sealing Technique is a very powerful spell, and a special curse-breaking ritual is required to break the spell."

He pointed at the box, which opened with a bang, revealing many black candles, as well as chalk, a double-sided mirror, an iron frame and other objects.

Ailin accepted the sixth jade statue and frowned.

"The curse-breaking ritual is easy to manipulate, and strangers are generally not allowed to break the curse. Besides, our encounter was not a good one," Wigfortz smiled, "But the black wax made of the blood of the shapeshifter is carefully polished. Parabolic mirror, pure crystal..."

"It's difficult for a wizard who doesn't specialize in the Shape-Sealing Curse to get it together in a short time. And since you know this spell, you must also know..."

"The longer the life sealed by the Transformation Sealing Curse, the greater the damage to its organs, so..."

Vilgefortz waved his hand, and the small box slowly floated to the feet of the two demon hunters.

"These will definitely help you. As for breaking the curse, you won't trust me, but you can definitely find a suitable wizard, right?"

"What do you want to do?" Aylin frowned.

Because there was no disparity in strength, and the rhythm was always affected, they were at a disadvantage in the battle. The two sides fought with the outcome unknown. Vilgefortz suddenly initiated peace talks. Although it was abrupt, it was understandable.

After all, he is just a "mercenary", and the one who really hates the witcher should be the wizard called Sunny by Vesemir.

As long as Wigefortz's strength, identity and talent are not weak, it's nothing to simply do a small favor for his "colleague" Sonny.

But of course it's impossible to do everything possible at the expense of your own life.

But this was not the reason why Vilgefortz returned the jade statue of the young demon hunter and thoughtfully gave it a very expensive curse-breaking tool.

No matter which aspect the positions of the two parties are considered, they are destined to be enemies.

After we say goodbye today, we can stay away from each other till we die.

There's a ghost... Aelin thought.

"What has happened is destined to be irreversible, but I think..." Wigfortz took out the last jade statue from an unknown place and placed it gently on the ground, "There is no fundamental contradiction between us, no. ”

"instead……"

Vilgefortz glanced at Lydia's chest, and then glanced down his body. The only instant-trigger obsidian left on the dress on his chest looked so funny.

"On the contrary, we suffered heavy losses, and our savings of more than ten years were wiped out in one fell swoop..."

The wizard waved his right hand.

The summoning badge on the dead white horse's reins automatically fell off, and flew towards him together with the metal staff that was stained by mud.

The two demon hunters just watched and did not stop them.

This made Vilgefortz happy.

He smiled heartily, and after shaking off the mud on the staff, he clicked on the obsidian on his chest as if he didn't care about anything outside him.

Dark purple light shone in the core of the gemstone.

Then the whole gem fell off the dress and fell on the ground next to the jade statue.

"I am a person who likes to make friends with strong people. Today's offense is just to complete the mission of the academy. This..." He pointed at the gem freely, "It can be regarded as our apology, and it is also the witness of our first encounter..."

"I believe our intersection will not just end today."

Just say it.

Vilgefortz didn't wait for the witcher to answer.

"Bang~"

Simply recite two mantras.

An orange-yellow portal rotated in the wilderness, whipping up a strong wind.

"Let's go, Lydia." He said, turned and walked into the portal.

Lydia followed.

Vesemir and Aylin looked at each other and were about to walk towards the portal to pick up the obsidian and the last jade statue.

It just so happens that at this time...

"Bang!"

The "Light Technique" light ball that had been hovering above his head suddenly exploded.

The two demon hunters subconsciously crossed their hands and used the Otrop Seal to defend themselves.

In the dazzling flash, Aylin looked through the lavender light curtain and seemed to vaguely see many familiar figures in the flash.

But within the blink of an eye, it was just pure light.

Wait until he wants to take a closer look...

"Bang~"

The strange sound of the portal closing made him look over subconsciously, and the white light of the "Lighting Technique" completely disappeared without a trace.

"Is... is it an illusion?" Aylin frowned.

"Da da da~"

While Aylin was stunned, Vesemir walked over, picked up the obsidian and the last jade statue, and handed it to Aylin.

"This wizard named Wilgefortz seems to be pretty good!"

"Using the trigger gem as an apology gift...it's still obsidian...tsk tsk...it's really generous..."

Vesemir didn't think there was any conspiracy, or he was more inclined to the source of magic, Vegfortz, and was impressed by Aylin's strength.

As for why...

Aelin has always been a likeable guy.

Who wouldn't like such a good boy who is already very strong, whose potential is even more outrageous than his strength, and who is also mature enough to not worry about?

Besides, who would use instant trigger gems worth hundreds of thousands or millions of orens as the price of conspiracy?

How big of a reward would it take to make up for this.

Moreover, in this increasingly chaotic world, there are countless conflicts arising from each other's own masters, or due to prejudice, interests, or even just being unhappy or dissatisfied.

At least half of it is at least half of the time when we finally meet and let go of grudges, and even weigh each other's friends with swords, only then can we go further.

At least many of Vesemir's friends - especially the dwarves - are like this.

If it is like today, almost no losses are caused, and even conflicts in which the benefits far outweigh the losses cannot be accepted magnanimously. In the future, there will only be fewer and fewer friends, but the number of enemies will double.

"Actually, he should be allowed to stay and help us lift Erni and the others... uh... the curse of transformation. Ms. Vera doesn't know if she has returned to Kaer Morhen... By the way, Aelin, that big lion Should we continue chasing the eagle? How about..."

"No!" Aylin shook his head and interrupted, "We will continue tomorrow."

"But Ernie and the others..."

"Believe me, Vesemir, after taking care of the Great Griffin, it will only be faster to lift Erni and the others' transformation sealing spell."

"Huh?" Vesemir turned back in confusion.

"Besides..." The demon hunter paused, squinting his eyes and looking back, as if he wanted to see through the deep darkness of the pure moonlight on his tarsus and see some kind of reality.

"What else?"

"Wilgefortz cannot be trusted! He is dangerous! Very dangerous!"

…

"Bang~"

The orange portal opened deep inside Ban Ade Academy.

The moment Wilgefortz and Lydia walked out of the portal, they subconsciously dodged to both sides.

"Boom~"

The towering black tower fell, with a star-shaped spire made of pure mithril.

This tower is famous throughout the northern continent, because it is the symbol of the Warlock Brotherhood, the core of magic in the northern continent, and the original gathering place of the association of talents and skills with a history of hundreds of years.

Countless stories in history books that are either mysterious, glorious, despicable, or sublime happened here.

At the end of every five years, the most important wizarding conference in the magical world is also held here.

If we let things go as they were.

When Vilgefortz saw this scene, he would definitely jump up in surprise, not like this now.

After hiding, he just glanced at the battle situation and found that although at least half of the city was burning, as he had guessed, Ben Ad seemed to have the upper hand. He didn't even notice what the enemy was and headed straight towards the academy. Go into the depths.

That is to say, after summoning the badge and returning to the academy, the noise was automatically eliminated, allowing him and Lydia to successfully pass through the battlefield burning with all kinds of magic lights and return to his own mage tower.

"Weige, are you okay?"

Lydia asked worriedly when she saw this abnormal scene.

"It's okay!" Wigefortz didn't even look back.

"Why did you..."

"Shh!" Before Lydia could say anything, she saw Wigfortz turning back and putting his index finger in front of his lips to shut her up.

At this time.

She suddenly found that the object of worship and admiration in the past was so strange.

His face was expressionless.

But Lydia, who had been with him for a long time, could feel Wigefortz, and she was as excited as a bonfire at a festival.

At this moment when the whole city of Ben Ad was burning with flames of war, such hot excitement made Lydia unfamiliar and a little scared.

what happened?

She could only keep silent and follow him back to the mage. She opened the door and walked up to Wigfortz's study on the second floor, which was filled with books and documents.

"Wow~"

As soon as he walked into the study room, Wigefortz started flipping through pages in a hurry. This had never happened before.

Wiggo couldn't stand any clutter that didn't follow the rules.

"You...what are you looking for?" she couldn't help but ask.

But at this moment.

Vilgefortz's movements suddenly stopped, and he began to chant an ancient prophecy crazily, with an elegant map placed on his right.

"Be aware that the time of sword and ax is near, it is the time of cold wolf, storm and snow."

…

"First, Filius Miraculi - the Miraculous Son - was born in a bitter cold land."

"Death and rebirth, the inhuman brings blood and fire."

…

"...a bitter cold place...death and rebirth...inhuman people...and..."

Vilgefortz sprinted toward the window.

"boom!"

Another tower burst into flames in the darkness and crashed to the ground.

The air was filled with the smell of rust and burning.

"...blood and fire!"

"Wei... Wego..." Lydia shouted in horror.

Vilgefortz suddenly turned his head and looked at her with eyes full of bloodshot eyes and crazy joy.

"The core of the ancient blood power is blood..."

"Lydia!"

"What do you think is the core of Miracle Child?"
