Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Chapter 366 Wild Hunt What the wizards covet - the legacy from an old friend

"That's right, the Great Griffin."

After all, the target is a promising source of magic, so Sonny explained in detail:

"This is the news we learned from several enemy soldiers who defected from the front line a few days ago."

"But because the coincidence is a bit absurd, we sent a wizard to verify it yesterday, but he hasn't come back yet. As soon as I heard that you came back from Aedir, I came directly."

"Is this important?"

"Very important!" Sonny sighed, "Now the academy needs more wizards than ever before."

Viggofortz understood.

Ban Ade Academy wants to withdraw the wizards from the front line and come back to defend Ban Ade, but it just lacks an excuse.

He frowned and thought for a few seconds:

"I only stayed in Wengerburg for less than ten minutes, and I rode straight into an inn as soon as I entered the city."

"But now that you mention it..."

"Wengerburg is indeed very desolate, and the security is lax. There are few pedestrians on the road. At that time, I thought it was due to the influence of the war..."

"As for the great griffin..."

Vigofortz paused, stretched out his hand to summon the staff, and after a few mysterious spells, a mist filled the room, and the environment around the two wizards suddenly turned into a city street.

The perspective is very high, and the regular bumps should be on the horse.

There are few pedestrians on the street, and most of them are pale, with fear in their eyes, and they are in a hurry.

After the shaking illusion appeared, the sound of the long wind blowing around sounded, and then the wind suddenly disappeared, and the whispers hidden in the wind were amplified and amplified again.

It became so noisy that it seemed like being in a bustling market. It was particularly strange against the backdrop of the empty streets around it, and there was even a strange feeling of souls whispering between the cracks of the stone slabs.

Viggofortz frowned and waved his staff again.

Suddenly, the noisy sounds were filtered out to only a few.

"...When will this day end?"

"...Mom, is the monster gone?"

"...The house of the Hod family in the east of the city was knocked down by the beast this morning..."

"...Why don't you hire a hunter..."

"When will Demawi II drive away the great griffin? There are wars and monsters, and this business can't be done at all..."

Before the voice stopped, Sonny stood up in joy and clapped his hands vigorously:

"Exquisite magic, Vigfortz, is this the result of your research on the ancient elf cemetery?"

"The stone slabs excavated from the White Stone Tomb near Ed Genaville in the Kingdom of Kovel and Povis, that was two years ago." Vigfortz waved his staff and nodded gracefully, and the illusion and voice disappeared immediately.

"The ancient elves' slate spells are difficult and obscure, and the affinity and analysis requirements for elements are extremely high. Only you, the magic source, can interpret them within two years."

Sony stared at Vigfortz's tired but high-spirited face, paused for a moment, and sighed with a complex tone: "It's really enviable."

Vigfortz smiled and shook his head: "Sir Sonny is enviable. He has been in the Warlock Council for only fifty years, and he has been promoted from the low-level Warlock Council to the high-level. When we meet again at the end of the year, I should call you Grand Councillor again."

"Who can have absolute confidence in front of the bloody red fox?"

"It's not just one seat. If Sir Sonny can't get in, what's the point of establishing the Supreme Council?"

"You..." Sonny laughed, pointed at Vigfortz with his index finger, and did not deny it.

Vigfortz smiled gently, his brown eyes turned around in his eye sockets, and he said regretfully:

"It's a pity that we were only a little bit away from catching a few demon hunters the day before yesterday, otherwise..."

"It doesn't matter..." Sonny waved his hand indifferently, "They are just some experimental subjects destined to perish. What threat can ants pose to dragons?"

"If you meet them, just crush them to death. If they are out of sight, just let them go."

"The most important thing now is the affairs of the academy."

After a pause, he glanced at Vigfortz:

"Don't worry, this will not affect our promise to you."

"You are the same source of magic as Dean Heng Gedimidis, and you are so actively involved in the affairs of the Warlock Brotherhood. At the end of the year, I will vote for you."

After speaking. Sonny didn't wait for Vigfortz to thank him, and looked out the window: "Since the information that Wengerburg was harassed by monsters is true, a ceasefire is inevitable, and the front line doesn't need so many wizards."

"Vigfortz, thank you for the information."

He nodded to Vigfortz and walked to the door.

"I'll see you off, sir."

"No need," Sonny smiled in a friendly manner, "Have a good rest, now is the time when the academy needs another source of magic."

"Vigfortz, you have a bright future!"

"Bang~"

The exquisite wooden door opened and closed.

The room was quiet for a long time.

"An experiment destined to perish?"

Vigfortz smelled the faint smell of blood in the air and shook his head with a smile.

...

After leaving Vigfortz's tower, Sonny did not notify the front line to withdraw the wizards who were confronting Aedir as he had just said, but went straight to a ruin near the gate of the southwest corner of Ban Ade Academy.

He waved his wand to move away the rubble on the surface, revealing a deep, hollow, spiral stone staircase.

Sonny had just stepped into the corridor, and from near to far, wall lamps lit up, spiraling downward like a coiled snake.

He spiraled down the corridor with a clear goal.

"Thump, thump, thump~"

The empty space echoed with the eerie echo of footsteps, and the dim lights went out behind him.

After walking for a long time, he stopped at the middle level of the spiral stone steps, facing the empty wall, chanted a few spells, and waved his staff.

"Bang——"

A brass door suddenly appeared on the empty stone wall,

The moment the door was pushed open.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

The strange sound of countless pages turning suddenly came.

Under the lavender magic lamp, countless ancient books, waving the dust accumulated over the years, flew back and forth between the three or four-person-high bookshelves.

Fourteen wizards in robes stood under the bookshelves, quickly flipping through the books that seemed to have wings.

This was Ben Ade's library, one of the few places in the entire northern continent with the most complete collection of books. In some aspects, such as magic, elves, and alchemy, it could even be called the best in the world of demon hunters.

Because it was deep underground, it was wrapped in solid enchanted brass.

Even though this library was close to the gate of the academy, only the surface was damaged, and it was not completely destroyed like other buildings.

"Have you found it?"

Sony's face was cold, and his eyes wandered among the wizards. He walked to an old green-robed wizard and asked, "What exactly is the Gate of Ad Geis that those skeleton monsters asked us to hand over?"

The old green-robed wizard was immediately awakened from the pages of the book, turned around and bowed to greet him, "Teacher."

Sony waved his hands impatiently, "Let's get down to business!"

"Yes." The wizard said in panic, "Currently, I have searched 650 volumes of books with the indexing technique, and only found the Gate of Ad Geis as the ancient language 'Grand Gate'. The meaning of 'The Great Gate' should...should be related to the elves."

"Elves? Those long ears hidden deep in the Blue Mountains?"

"Yes, mentor."

"What about the elves' collection of books? There is no force in this world that has more ancient books in ancient languages ​​than our Ban Ade. Is there no clue?"

"'The Grand Gate' and 'The Great Gate' are the results of searching the ancient books of the elves through the indexing technique. They come from an epic poem praising the warriors returning from the expedition..."

"Nothing else?" Sonny interrupted.

"At present, we are only using the indexing technique to filter, and we will definitely miss a lot of content, but if we really want to check it carefully..." The old wizard looked up.

Sonny followed his gaze and his face turned black.

The ancient books floating and gathering above his head have really formed a "sea of ​​books" above.

"Teacher, even if you use the reading technique, it will not be checked in a short time."

"Speed ​​up."

"Yes, mentor." The old wizard immediately waved the worn wooden staff and summoned a book from the sea of ​​books to fly down.

Sonny's face was uncertain, and he looked gloomy and ferocious under the purple magic lamp.

I don't know how long it took.

"Click~"

The solid copper door opened again, and a wizard wearing a black star robe appeared at the door.

Sonny's face changed again, and he walked over in three or two steps, walked out, and closed the copper door.

Without the sound of turning pages, the spiral stone steps were suddenly quieter than the wilderness at night.

"Puff~"

After Sonny came out, when the black-robed wizard was about to speak, he put his index finger between his lips, indicating silence.

He looked around, walked to the edge of the stone steps, looked up and down carefully, and waved his staff again.

The light red soundproof barrier enveloped the two wizards.

"How is it, Miguel? Do you know what those wild hunts took away?" Sonny asked anxiously before the soundproof barrier was closed.

Miguel shook his head: "The research projects of other colleagues have been sealed by Dean Hen Gedimidis. No one can open them without his permission."

"What about the Dean?" Sonny asked again, "He will definitely not ignore anything that can be hidden in the 'Dangerous Experimental Object Warning Warehouse' of the Talent and Skills Association."

Miguel smiled bitterly: "I didn't see the Dean."

"How could it be?" Sonny opened his mouth in surprise, "You are not me, you never cause trouble..."

"Not only me."

Miguel squinted his eyes guiltily and glanced around, the darkness that the dim candlelight could not penetrate, and whispered:

"Dean Hen Gedimidis didn't see anyone, not even any messages."

"His office is blocked by a powerful ban..."

"What!" Sonny shouted in surprise.

"How can such a powerful spell be cast without any cost?" Miguel said.

Thinking of the unprecedented grand scene the night before, he still felt dizzy even now and had to lean his back against the wall.

"Yes, the dean is already very old." Sonny nodded.

Then, he paced inside the reddish soundproof barrier, his facial expression changing with each step.

Fear, excitement, worry, ambition...

Miguel, who was standing by, looked at Sonny in this state and felt a little scared because of unfamiliarity, so he quickly changed the subject: "But I didn't gain nothing."

"Although the files and other things were locked up by Dean Heng Gedimidis, I learned from Master Drew, who has been following the dean recently, that the lost items came from a project of one of our acquaintances."

"Who?" Sonny stopped and looked at him fiercely.

Miguel was stared at by the bloodshot red eyes, and suddenly he dared not keep it a secret:

"Vice Dean Ban Ade who was buried with the former king... That is Janes' research project..."

"Bang!"

At this moment, there was a crash above their heads.

"Who is it!"

The two wizards who were frightened immediately cast colorful magic shields around them.

"Bang~"

The empty space echoed, but no one answered.

Sonny and Miguel looked at each other and walked upwards carefully. It took a long time to reach the entrance of the spiral staircase.

There, a black-robed wizard covered in wounds lay on the ground not far away.

He held a broken mahogany staff in his right hand and pointed at the spiral staircase.

When Sonny saw the staff, he rushed over immediately.

"Who?" Miguel asked behind him.

"Lian," Sonny looked grim, "I sent him to track down the wild hunter who stole the things..."

——

The crystal ball of the high tower on the ruins.

This was the first impression that came to the demon hunter after he carefully passed through the billowing smoke and saw Ban Ade.

The familiar blue spherical light curtain enveloped the wizard academy with tall towers.

Outside the light curtain, there were ruins, burning ruins.

Yes.

Two days later, nearly a quarter of Ban Ade was still burning. If it weren't for the blue light curtain standing in the center, Ailin almost thought that the entire Ban Ade was destroyed.

The vast ruins were like a scar of a serious injury, stretching across the land, extremely ugly.

Ailin squinted his eyes and looked far away, trying to find some familiar buildings, but he couldn't even find the city gate. Except for Ban Ade Academy, there were basically no intact buildings in the entire city.

And even inside the academy, through the light curtain, it can be clearly seen that at least half of the towers of various shapes in the "blue crystal ball" are gone.

"There was no Wild Hunt attack," he took a quick look, "but the wizard academy still raised a protective shield. Not to mention rescuing the citizens and buildings in the city, they didn't even send anyone to put out the flames burning the city."

"Are they desperate, or are they too dead and injured to spare manpower?"

The blue light curtain distorted the light. He could see the top of the tower, but couldn't see the movements of the wizards inside.

I wanted to lower the altitude, but the wizards must be extremely sensitive even if they suffered heavy losses after just being attacked from the sky.

It's too dangerous.

However.

Even if no extra actions were taken, the goal set before coming here has been achieved.

The Wild Hunt is very powerful, and the city with nearly 10,000 people stationed by powerful wizards was destroyed.

But it's not so powerful that it makes people despair. At least the sky above the Ban Ade Academy is still flashing with the blue glow of magic.

This gave Aylin some confidence. At least they can be defeated.

So now there is only one question...

Should I leave or take the risk to stay?
