Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Old Duke?

Ailin was stunned.

Why would the old duke come at this time? From Nenneke's expression, he seemed to have some connection with them...

That's not right!

They had just come to the Meliteli Temple not long ago. Did the news spread so quickly?

Or was it because of the great griffin?

Ailin shook his head in his heart.

That's not right either.

The sky was dark, and the great griffin landed in the deep mountains of Mahakam behind the temple. It didn't pass over the city. And even if it was discovered, the great griffin didn't cause any damage, so there was no need to be so anxious...

Ailin was about to ask again in a low voice.

"Zila~"

The sound of the spell-breaking ceremony interrupted Ailin.

Not long after the jade statue became transparent.

The air began to overflow with shimmering magical energy.

Covering the open space in the garden, a pale golden hemispherical divine barrier suddenly appeared, colliding with these shimmering magical energies, and it was as gorgeous as countless fireworks within a short distance.

One of the black candles emitted sparks, casting shadows on the stone slab.

The magic circle of the zodiac of the elven calendar carved in chalk seemed to come alive, and the patterns on it changed accordingly.

But Ianna did not put down her hands, and the voice of chanting the spell became even louder.

The statue also grew larger at lightning speed in this sacred chanting, began to throb and tremble, and its structure and shape were also changing rapidly, like a group of smoke spreading on the stone slab.

The strong light emitted by the crystal penetrated the air, and there appeared a wriggling and gradually condensed substance in the light.

A moment later, a human body wearing a complete leather armor suddenly appeared in the center of the magic circle.

It was Erni.

The candle emitted smoke, and the light of the crystal dimmed.

Ianna put down her arms, moved her fingers, and wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"What's your name?"

Ailin temporarily put aside the doubts about the old duke's intention, stepped forward and asked him if his self-awareness was clear according to the process in the book.

"Captain, what are you asking? I... I'm Ernie..." Ernie stood up from the ground in a daze, staggered to look at Aylin, and looked around.

Pink carnations, blue roses, daisies with tender yellow stamens, dandelions with white fluff swaying in the wind...

Ernie worked hard in potions and materials, and knew that the flowers around him had different seasons, but in this mysterious garden, they bloomed naturally and harmoniously, creating a subtle sense of sacredness.

It was as if these flowers were on a pilgrimage...

He scratched his head, and questions came one after another.

"Captain, Master Vesemir, when did you come back?"

"I fell asleep?"

"And where is this? Aren't we in the hotel?"

"We are in the Temple of Meliteli in Elland," Vesemir came over and nodded to the sweaty Ianna, "This High Priest Ianna has lifted... um... you can understand it as a curse..."

"Temple of Meliteli? Curse?" Erni was stunned, then his eyes widened and he shouted, "It's that man..."

Ailin and Vesemir looked at each other and comforted him a few words.

"Are you okay? Do you feel any discomfort?" Ianna asked kindly.

"Ah?" Erni touched his whole body, "Nothing is wrong, just that my stomach and intestines were a little strange just now, but now it's much better."

Vesemir and Erin breathed a sigh of relief almost at the same time.

Erin was still worried just now, after all, it was a living human being shrunk to the size of a palm, which was very scary to look at.

Moreover, in the original book, when Yennefer was restored by Francesca's curse, she screamed heart-wrenchingly and twitched incontinence, and it took a long time for her to move normally.

"But that's right," Arryn thought, "Yennefer was sealed by the Transfiguration Sealing Curse for a full month and a half because of the coup on Thanedd Island, and Erni was only sealed for two days because I tamed the Great Griffin."

Nenneke saw that Ianna had time, and hurriedly stepped forward: "High Priest, Duke Mason is here again."

Again?

Arryn's ears moved.

Ianna sighed, did not respond, but turned her head to look at Vesemir and Arryn:

"Are you Wolf School really not going to move here?"

Vesemir and Arryn looked at each other after hearing this.

Ailin cautiously probed: "Why do you ask? Did the old duke come here for..."

"Yes," Ianna sighed again, "It's about the Wolf School. Since Mason received the rejection letter from Grand Master Soi a few days ago, he has been trying to get me involved to persuade the stubborn old wolf."

"It's been the third day."

"Don't we already have necrophile oil and ghost oil?" Ailin raised his eyebrows, "Elland's demand for demon hunters should be reduced, why is it so urgent now that it wants you to persuade the chief?"

"That's not what I said." Ianna shook her head, and then did not explain immediately, but supported Ailin's right arm and looked at the little priest Lysa, "I have completed the most difficult part of the de-cursing ceremony. Next... Lysa, you just need to de-curse the other demon hunters one by one."

"Yes, High Priest." Lysa nodded and carefully placed the jade statue of Klar in the center of the pentagram.

"Lysa has made great progress. She will arrange things here. Will you come with me to meet Mason?" Ianna patted Arryn's arm. "Arryn from 'Elland'?"

Arryn turned his head and glanced at Vesemir.

"Go ahead. I will stay here to explain to Kral and the others." Vesemir said.

Arryn nodded, and after a spell-breaking ceremony, Ianna, who looked a little pale, walked out of the garden.

The moon was bright tonight, the crescent moon was like a hook, and the stars in the sky were twinkling and dotted in the night sky, guiding the way forward for the travelers.

And the one who guided them was Nennek.

After Ianna refused to help Arryn instead, she glanced at Arryn and walked ahead with a lantern.

"Come to think of it, you are really rude," Ianna suddenly laughed out loud after leaving the garden, "Although the knighthood is the lowest level of military merit, you are the first one to run away as soon as the knighthood ceremony is over."

"At that time, I had some urgent matters to return to Kaer Morhen, and Elland didn't seem to need me to stay at that time." Alin's body paused, a little embarrassed.

Duke Mason granted him the title to reward his contribution on the night of May Festival. Afterwards, he was in a hurry to go back and train his demon hunting corps, so he left through the portal without thinking about anything.

However, Ianna's mentioning it at this time seemed a bit unkind.

It felt like when I was still a social animal in my previous life, I received the payment from Party A on time after the project was completed, but I didn't even say hello or arrange a dinner party and ran away.

It's not wrong, but it's a bit inhumane.

What's more.

The titles are all subordinate, and there are quotas for each level.

Therefore, although Ailin did not pledge allegiance to the old duke, he actually occupied the old duke's quota when reporting to the noble council, and it is estimated that for a long time, the princely title represented by the old duke will lose the knight title forever.

So although the knight title is not of high status, it is actually very precious.

If this title is not given to Ailin, Mason or his heir can be used as a bargaining chip in the future to win over certain forces under certain special circumstances.

"When you need it, you have already left," Ianna shook her head, "The day after you left, the first day after the exorcism ritual completely failed, water ghosts, ghouls, rotten demons... some corpse-eating creatures came by smelling the smell."

"Something went wrong?" Ailin frowned.

"That's not the case," Ianna shook her head. "The Demon Hunters successfully eliminated a lot of corpse-eating creatures that time, and because of your corpse-eating oil, the casualties were very small, and most of them were caused by the first time they faced the Corruption Demon."

"Isn't that great?"

"It was great at the time, but half a month later, things started to go wrong." Ianna sighed and continued, "The gathered corpse-eating creatures began to attack the villages around Elland, and the soldiers of the Demon Hunters hid when they went, and came out to harass again when they left."

"If the Demon Hunters didn't gather enough people, the corpse-eating creatures wouldn't flee, but they could only protect the attacked villages, but couldn't eliminate the invading monsters."

Alin's face gradually became solemn.

This is indeed a good strategy to deal with ordinary human armies using sword oil.

Although the people of the Demon Hunters are named "Demon Hunters", they are actually just ordinary soldiers who have experienced wars.

Unlike demon hunters, they are not well-trained and have the ability to hunt monsters alone. Instead, they must fight as a group using the old war battle formation mode, which is naturally a bit rigid and the target is particularly large.

They even lack common sense in monster studies, and they can't even avoid the perception of monsters and not disturb the monsters.

Ailin made a judgment: "Ordinary ghouls will not have such high intelligence. It must be a giant ghoul or other high-intelligence monsters."

"We think so too," Ianna nodded slightly, "but we can't do anything about it."

"Then didn't similar situations happen in the past?" Ailin was a little curious.

"Of course there were." Ianna said, "Every five years, the entire Temeria will gather silver and elite knights, warriors, and demon hunters to conduct demon hunting parades, specifically hunting some stubborn and threatening monsters that often attack villages, but this is only the second year."

"Originally, with Elland's strength, he was able to organize a smaller demon hunting parade before May Day, but this time..."

Ianna shook her head.

"It seems that the impact of the May Day Wild Hunt is far from over." Ailin thought.

In addition.

He also knew that Ianna invited him to meet the old duke, not just for a simple meeting.

These words said before meeting the old duke must not be said casually.

However, Ailin thought about it and helped the old duke deal with the corpse-eating creatures, which would benefit him without any harm.

This time, in addition to Holden Qui-Gon's letter of help and the Wolf School Master Set, the main purpose of leaving Kaer Morhen this time was to take seven young demon hunters from the Demon Hunting Corps to experience, accumulate battle points, upgrade their skills, improve the level of the Demon Hunting Corps, and increase the upper limit of members.

And...

Although Ban Ade is estimated to have suffered a heavy blow, he will definitely not be able to spare the energy to pay attention to the Wolf School in a short time.

But the planned "nuclear weapon"-the intersection of the spheres must be put on the agenda.

It is too unreliable to find a large number of monsters when there is a sudden need like the previous few days.

It just so happens that the ghouls are the next hunting mission he plans to complete, and there are still six or seven hundred missing before the stage of foreign fusion.

Plus the favor of the old duke and the generous bounty.

Tsk tsk!

It's simply killing two birds with one stone.

But to be honest...

Even without these practical benefits, he doesn't want to see Elland - this city that left him a good impression and has many kind and friendly humans decline like this.

"I can't make the decision about the relocation of the Wolf School," Ailin looked up at Ianna, "but I can find a way to deal with those monsters that take advantage of the situation."

"Don't discuss it with Vesemir?"

"No, Vesemir won't refuse such a thing, not to mention..." Ailin paused for a second, smiled slightly playfully, "Don't look at my young age, but half a year ago, I was the master of the Wolf School's demon hunter."

"Hehe~" Ianna was stunned for a moment when she heard the words, and then laughed, and the texture carved by the knife and axe of time was filled with kindness and... strange pride.

"Okay, okay, my Demon Hunter Master, Water Ghost Killer, Blue-eyed Death God, Bloody Red Fox's most proud alchemist apprentice, Elland's Knight Erin, let's walk faster and give that annoying old man a surprise!"

After saying a long list of titles, Ianna immediately let go of Erin's arm, laughed, and strode towards the entrance of the temple.

He didn't look pale and weak just now after the ceremony.

Seeing this, Erin was startled, looked at his raised right arm, laughed, and quickened his pace.

——

Wengerburg.

"What! Everyone ran away?" Kurt slapped the table and stood up suddenly.

The two men standing in front of him shuddered suddenly, and one of them quickly defended himself: "Lord Kurt, those... those two people had no intention of negotiating at all. They knocked me out before I could say anything..."

The other man gritted his teeth and added: "They also used the Axis seal on me, confusing my mind and making me half-convinced about this empty corridor..."

"I don't care about that!" Kurt interrupted with a grim look, "I only know that you asked me for a hundred people, but you didn't bring back even one person."

"Could it be that each of those nine people has superb swordsmanship and can fight a hundred with one, but you..."

Kut looked the two up and down coldly:

"But you don't have any injuries on your body. I even think you found a place to sleep for a day..."

"Absolutely not!" The two shouted anxiously in unison, their throats breaking.

"Why is that? Can you tell me? Sir Joel! Sir Kahn!"

Joel and Kahn, whose names were called, shuddered again. After looking at each other, Joel said:

"Only two people came back from that inn. We waited for a long time but no one came, so we went forward to recruit them, but we didn't expect them to run away directly without saying a word to us."

"Yes!" Kahn added, "The people hiding in the village were confused because there were only two of them and let them run away."

"Didn't the lord say that he would treat them with courtesy, so he didn't dare to take action before meeting them..."

"Are you blaming me?" Thinking of the promise he made in front of the king - if he didn't catch anyone in two days, he would ask to be exiled to the front line - Kurt's face turned pale.

"No!"

"Don't dare!"

The two denied it repeatedly. After seeing Kurt's face getting gloomier and gloomier, they racked their brains to shirk responsibility.

"That's right!"

Joel's eyes suddenly lit up and he shouted:

"Big Griffin!"
