Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Huh~"

The witcher opened his eyes suddenly and sat up from the bed. The pain slowed him down a step, but it came as expected.

Then the gasping turned into a hissing of pain, and the white bandage oozed blood.

"Ai Lin, are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere?"

The sound of hurried footsteps was mixed with worried words.

The little priest trotted over, supported him, checked the wound, and finally breathed a sigh of relief after a while.

"What's wrong, Aelin? Are you having a nightmare?"

Behind the witcher, she carefully adjusted her position, put up a few pillows that smelled of clean sun-dried straw, and tried to avoid touching the wounds for him to lean on.

Nightmare...

The demon hunter was stunned for a moment, then subconsciously followed the little priest's movements and leaned back.

The blood-red will-o'-the-wisp dances in the bone socket that seems to be made of bronze. The ancient majesty is extremely cold, like the thousands of miles of ice and snow in the Blue Mountains in the cold winter...

So scary, yet so real...

With just one glance, he was forced out of that dark space...

Was that a nightmare?

"But... it could be..."

Just as the demon hunter was mid-sentence, he suddenly noticed a line of text dancing in the corner of his field of vision.

【bite! The absorption of the fragments of the Gate of Ad Geis is completed! 】

【bite! Your skills: Portal LV2 has been upgraded to Portal LV4 (6000/1W)]

【bite! You have obtained the special skill: Spiral]

spiral?

"Physical weakness caused by large-scale blood loss may lead to nightmares..." The little priest saw that Aylin's wounds were not involved when he leaned on him. He nodded with satisfaction, interrupted his thinking, and then put the food basket on the table. Brought it over.

"But your current physical condition is much better than that in the morning. The wound will heal in a few days, and it should not be there by then."

"Thank you." Aylin nodded, took the bread from the little priest, and took a bite.

"Um?"

The bread was butter bread, and although it wasn't cheap, Aylin had never tasted it before, so he wouldn't be surprised.

But after chewing a few mouthfuls, he found that his mouth was filled with a special salty aroma.

Moving his eyes downward, he saw fillings sandwiched in the center of the bread. The purple-red fillings smelled of fruity and medicinal aromas.

"Isn't it delicious?" Lysa's cautious voice came from the side.

"No, it's quite delicious." Aylin shook his head, "It's just a bit special. I've never eaten such butter bread."

Lysa patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good. The filling is applesauce mixed with some herbs that can replenish blood."

Feeling really hungry, Aylin ate the bread in three bites and then took another one.

He looked at Lysa curiously: "Does the temple's cafeteria have this kind of bread? Why have I never seen it before?"

Lesa laughed embarrassedly, with two red clouds appearing on her cheeks: "It's a recipe I saw in the past, and I made it after consulting the nun in the cafeteria this morning."

Aylin hesitated as he took the bread, and then he noticed that the gray linen dress of the young priest was dotted with dots of stains.

"Uh...thank you..." He himself felt that saying this thank you was a bit dry.

He chewed the bread in his mouth and took another look at the filling.

Celandine, honeysuckle, belle...

There are four or five kinds of herbs that he can taste. He has used a lot of these herbs in daily life. Most of them are either bitter or astringent. But now when he chews them, he only has a harmonious medicinal aroma in his mouth, and the filling is very delicate and a little grainy. None.

"Isn't this bread difficult to make?" Aylin tentatively asked nonsense.

If it was easy to make, there would be no shortage of it in the cafeteria.

After all, these ingredients are actually not expensive, not as expensive as butter bread and applesauce.

But pregnant women, wounded soldiers, grown-up girls... Meriteli Temple is full of people who need blood.

"It's not difficult to make," Lysa shook her head lightly and spoke in an understatement, "Just master the proportions and grind the medicinal materials finely. The bread and jam are all ready-made at the canteen."

"That's right!" She changed the subject unnaturally, "What did you dream about in your nightmare just now?"

I dreamed of groups of skeleton knights...

Aelin frowned instinctively.

Lysa, whose eyes had been glued to Aylin, realized that there was something wrong with her move almost the moment he frowned.

Although they were both children who lost their parents, she was at least loved by her parents and lived a long and warm life.

But almost all demon hunters are children who have been abandoned by their parents, and have gone through brutal trials.

What could his nightmare be related to?

Death, loss, blood or scars?

Realizing this, she immediately said casually:

"Sorry, no need to say it if it's inconvenient."

"It's not that..." Aylin waved his hand, "It's just some boring things, a dark... only dark space..."

He thought for a while but still didn't say anything about the Wild Hunt. He just briefly described the first half of the "dream", the dark spiral staircase.

After all, Lysa is just a trainee priest, and knowing too much will not do her any good.

"So you're afraid of the dark." Lysa chuckled.

Ailin, who didn't expect her to be so understanding, immediately defended: "It's not that I'm afraid of the dark..."

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

Lesa's eyes suddenly became strangely solemn.

The misty light passed through the window lattice, and the girl's slender snow neck exuded a soft light. The smile on her delicate lips was radiant.

Instead, he didn't know how to explain it.

When he came back to his senses.

Lysa had packed up the food basket and took away the pillow.

"Rest for a while," she carefully supported Arlin's body, "Sufficient sleep can make the body recover faster."

Before he could speak, he saw Lysa chant two mysterious spells, and then stretched out a finger emitting a faint white light to his forehead.

"Relax," the little priest whispered, his tone like coaxing a disobedient child to sleep, "This is 'Quiet Mind', which is generally used to comfort soldiers who have just come off the battlefield and facilitate treatment."

"However, patients with unbearable pain and elderly people with insomnia also call it 'Good Dream Technique'. I hope it can make you sleep more comfortably."

The demon hunter did not resist, allowing the finger with soft light to gently touch his forehead.

Naturally, he fell asleep again.

When he woke up again, the room warmed by the sun no longer had the faint scent of eucalyptus.

The sunlight was slightly red, illuminating the dancing dust.

The demon hunter stared blankly at the amulet wooden carvings hanging on the roof for a while before he remembered what he was going to do.

[Name: Portal]

[Type: Space Skill]

[Level: LV4]

[Active Effect:

1. Portal: Consume magic power to release a portal linking to the stored coordinate point. The distance between the coordinate point and the caster is \u003c180 kilometers (+60=20*1+40*1). The portal can pass through a maximum of 8 people (+4=2*2)

2. Record coordinate points: You can store 8 (+4=2*2) coordinate points

3. LV4 additional effect: Wooden door: Double magic power can be consumed to release a portal with minimal spatial fluctuations, just like opening an ordinary wooden door]

Yes, the portal is directly upgraded by two levels, saving... uh... three experience beads...

Not bad.

More importantly, the eight additional teleportation points and the unit distance of 180 kilometers are enough for him to use the portal from Elland to Ban Ade.

Of course.

When there is no limit on the portal, there is a limit on magic power. Although the portal does not indicate how to consume magic power, according to Ailin's estimation when using it, it is about one point of magic power per kilometer.

Without potions to replenish magic power, his current 790 points of magic power can only be used for four consecutive teleports by one person.

After that, he must wait until the magic power is restored before teleporting again.

So most warlocks like to place the coordinate points near the city for rest.

Before, Ailin needed to hide the information that a demon hunter could learn master-level space spells, so it was naturally impossible to do so.

Because the portal not only has a considerable spatial fluctuation, but also has a lot of noise and "noise points" of wandering magic power caused by spatial fluctuations. When it is close to the city, it is easy to be discovered by ordinary people passing by.

But the coordinate points cannot be placed randomly in a remote place. Even now, Ailin is in danger of being attacked by corpse-eating creatures just after leaving the portal.

But now...

Alin's mind moved.

"Bang~"

It was as if the wooden door was gently closed.

The orange-red portal appeared in the open space in the center of the room.

Not only did the candlesticks and ornaments around it only sway slightly and silently, but after the perspective was changed to the magic vision of the wolf emblem, the element points traveling in the air only fluctuated violently within one meter around the portal, and there was basically no effect outside two meters.

"Very practical."

With the special effect of reducing space fluctuations at LV4, he can also put coordinates around the city... no... even in some cities.

Just need to buy some real estate and carefully select the location of the coordinates.

In fact, this is much safer than putting coordinates far away from the city, even in the village.

After all, there are many empty houses in the city that no one will occupy, but there are only so many houses in the village, which are too obvious.

"After the injury is healed, find a map to choose." Alin thought.

The matter of the portal came to an end.

Alin took a deep breath.

Spiral... could it be what he imagined?

[Name: Spiral]

[Type: Special Skill]

[Completeness: 1/5]

[Passive Effect: Dream Shadow: When you enter a dream, you will have a chance to communicate with the spiral.

Active Effect: Insight: Consume 50 experience beads to create a pupil shadow in the spiral. With a pupil shadow, you can observe the spiral. (Pupil shadow can be detected and destroyed)]

... Passive effect... Psychic spiral...

"Hiss~"

The demon hunter instinctively took a deep breath and read the passive effect several times.

"That dark place is indeed a spiral, so those wild hunts must be real!"

Ailin got excited and his heart beat faster.

This is a spiral!

Traveling through space, going to various realms, and even playing with time at will, going to the past and the future - spiral.

Of course, the "time" point is a bit contradictory.

After all, if time can really be controlled, why would the Gate of Ade Ges be destroyed and broken?

However, the ancient blood traveling through time and space does exist in the original book.

Ciri was once on the run—traveled back in time from the city of Tirnalia in Ayn El—roughly a few years before Arryn’s current time, 1180.

When I first came to Elland, Ianna and the old duke mentioned it in the carriage...

Five years ago, an extremely terrifying Black Death broke out in Vizima, Temeria.

This Black Death that made the whole kingship full of mourning was spread by a flea from another time and space that jumped on Ciri's clothes.

Although even the prophecy of the ancient blood is gone in reality.

Whether the Black Death in this time and space was spread by Ciri is still unknown, but the possibility still exists.

After all, it is quite suspicious that an infectious disease with such amazing lethality as the Black Death can be so "mature" without several evolutions and mutations.

Therefore.

It is not impossible that the spiral controls the channel of shuttle time, or the spiral itself is the channel of shuttle time.

And now.

Although it can only insert a ward and enter a dream, this is just a collection of completeness. What about the future?

What kind of changes will happen after two-fifths, three-fifths... or even all of them are gathered?

Could he... also control time and space...

Thinking of this, Aylin's face flushed with excitement.

Until the wounds on his back and limbs began to hurt due to his soaring heartbeat, he took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down.

"So the information Vesemir found is correct. The Wild Hunt did come to the Demon Hunter world through the spiral, but..."

Aylin frowned slightly, recalling the "dream" just half an hour ago.

"But the 'spiral' is pitch black, how did they get to the Demon Hunter world through there?"

To be honest.

In the information found, the concept of spiral has always been vague.

How can a spiral corridor penetrate all realms and allow the Wild Hunt riding on a skeleton horse to travel through various time and space?

Could it be that all realms have opened doors on the corridor?

This is a bit too abstract. Aylin has been to the spiral, but he can't imagine this picture.

What's more, the spiral is pitch black, where is the "door"?

Looking at the translucent panel in front of him, the Demon Hunter felt like a kitten was scratching his heart.

He gritted his teeth and wanted to spend fifty experience beads at all costs to insert an "eye" in the spiral and take a good look at how the Wild Hunts traveled through space.

Unfortunately, Ailin encountered a big problem...

Although Ben Ade and the Wild Hunt had just given him a huge sum of money last night, he only had forty-five experience beads and one small experience bead on his body.

Moreover...

"Even if I really get fifty experience beads, I can't spend them on Tongying..." Ailin sighed.

The Way of Beast Roar, the Seal, the Swordsmanship...

None of them requires a large number of experience beads. Even the Seal that he had neglected for a long time has shown extraordinary effects. If the level of the Ottrop Seal was a little higher, he would not have been injured so badly.

Compared with these, Tongying, who was just for a temporary enjoyment and to satisfy curiosity, was not so high in priority.

After all, the Wild Hunt's target now was Ben Ade, not him.

"It's still too poor!" Ailin gritted his teeth, his expression vicious.

If there were a thousand experience beads, he would satisfy his curiosity and see what the special skills that even the Demon Hunter's Notes could not improve with special skill points look like.

"When my injuries are healed, I will make those corpse-eating creatures that dare to attack Elland while I am away explode their experience beads!"

As for now...

I can only rely on luck and dream of the spiritual spiral.

Sighing, Ailin moved his mind and jumped to the inventory.
