Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Is this the couple the red-haired elf is looking for?"

After Aylin thought about it for a moment, he sighed.

Although he hoped not, after all, it would involve the wizard and the king.

It is very dangerous for Ben Ad to go against these two forces. Even if he is accidentally exposed, the king's force, which may have had a chance to win over, will completely become the enemy of the Wolf School.

However, due to various coincidences and the vague so-called "fate" mentioned by the red-haired elf, it was difficult for him to convince himself to draw a negative conclusion.

"Dong~dong~dong~"

The sound of heavy footsteps interrupted his thoughts.

A black wide-brimmed hat gradually appeared from the corner of the stairs, and Aylin shouted softly:

"Master Vesemir, I have something to tell you."

Vesemir was stunned for a moment, looked at the other closed doors, nodded and came to Aylin's room.

"Bang~"

The door was closed.

Aylin looked seriously at the pair of dark golden cat eyes and said, "Master Vesemir, do you still remember the prison car you met at the city gate yesterday morning?"

"Is it the prison car escorted by the king's personal guards and wizards and containing a few elves?" Vesemir asked in confusion.

Aylin nodded, and then told the elf with red hair and silver eyes and the commission to protect a couple from leaving.

"The Wolf School abides by neutrality..." Vesemir's expression suddenly became serious, "Well... Aelin, what do you think?"

Elves and humans, there is an obvious question of camp selection hidden in this commission.

In the past, Vesemir might have directly denied this troublesome commission, but now...

He hesitated.

Aelin was relieved when he heard this. He thought Vesemir would refuse directly.

After pondering for a moment, Aylin considered his words and said seriously:

"The principle of neutrality is of course important."

"But under the prophecy that the school is about to collapse, if the king is really behind the scenes, we must prepare in advance and fight for all the power we can, otherwise we can only watch Kaermohan be destroyed."

"And the elves' strength in archery magic can just make up for our lack of long-range power."

There is a difference between neutrality and neutrality.

In previous games and original stories, the neutrality mentioned by Geralt and Vesemir was the only remaining connection between them and the ruined school, apart from their companions.

At the same time, it was also a helpless compromise due to the collapse of the school and the lack of power of the demon hunters.

They do not have the strength to get involved in the disputes between various forces on the continent, so they can only survive with a neutral attitude.

But the Wolf School at this time is different.

Aelin had read in the library the history of the Witcher Order's disintegration due to the co-optation and interference of external forces.

The current principle of neutrality of the Wolf School is more like avoiding interference from external forces, and using a certain principle to set the entire school's goal to eliminate monsters that endanger human survival.

Its core is to ensure the survival of the school.

But in essence, with the strength of the Wolf Sect's demon hunters and their reputation for hunting monsters for humans for hundreds of years, they have the ability to not be neutral.

Now reality has proved that even if the demon hunters adhere to neutrality, there will still be other forces that will provoke them and even want to destroy them.

At this time, any knowledgeable demon hunter will have such a question deep in his heart.

Does neutrality really work?

Vesemir was silent upon hearing this.

Aelin knew that even Vesemir had been shaken by the Wolf School's principle of neutrality because of what happened in the past.

Adhering to a lifelong belief and not being easy to compromise, he changed the topic to Viscount Hudson.

"Master Vesemir, when are you going to Viscount Hudson's castle?"

"Do you want to go?" The master demon hunter who was meditating was stunned for a moment, then thought of something, frowned and said:

"Do you think the two people Viscount Hudson brought back to the castle ten years ago are the people the elf is looking for?"

"I don't know," Aylin denied, "but I think it's all too coincidental. The elf just gave me this commission yesterday, and today I heard news about a human couple."

Vesemir hesitated when he heard this, and warned: "There may be demon spirits in the castle, and there is probably more than one."

Aylin, who is also a master demon hunter, is somewhat weak in terms of strength.

At least in terms of experience in dealing with various monsters, it is even far inferior to ordinary demon hunters after traveling and testing.

Especially this kind of incorporeal monster is particularly dangerous to unfamiliar demon hunters.

If it were an ordinary traveling witcher, Vesemir would have agreed. After all, even he himself had to crawl out between life and death.

But Aylin is different.

Before leaving Kaer Morhen, no one except the Chief mentioned his safety.

None of the other master witchers explicitly hinted that he should pay attention to the safety of the youngest master witcher of the Wolf School.

Aylin saw that Vesemir was hesitant and persuaded:

"Don't worry, Master Vesemir, I won't be reckless."

"And demon spirits usually appear at night, so it's generally very safe during the day."

"Huh? Have you ever understood the habits of demon spirits?" Vesemir was a little surprised when he heard this.

"I read it in the library..." Aylin said.

In his previous life, he didn't even know how many demon spirits he killed in order to obtain emerald dust and evil spirit essence.

These basic knowledge have long been engraved in my mind.

Seeing this, Vesemir knew that he understood the importance and was not blindly happy with the hunting heart, so he nodded happily and said:

"Okay, come with me!"

…

"Captain Serio, why don't you find an opportunity to teach those freaks a lesson?"

"Yes! Captain, I have wanted to try it out for a long time. Which is faster, the swords of these demon hunters or the swords of our knights!"

Serio shook his head, leaned on a sycamore tree in the southeast corner of the hotel, and said:

"They are guests invited by the king after all."

"Tch~" a knight snorted, "What kind of guests are just low-class bastards? I don't know what the king is thinking about being so nice to these freaks."

"I heard that he gives the two freak schools, Wolf and Cat, a gift of 50,000 orens every year."

"What? So many?" Another knight shouted in shock, about to ask in detail.

"Silence! Hide in the shade!"

Serio suddenly took a few steps back and hid behind the sycamore tree.

The two knights were well-trained and did not ask any questions when they heard the order. Their bodies almost instinctively retreated into the shade of the trees.

"Pah~pah~"

The sound of the wooden window closing came from not far away.

The three knights saw the innkeeper sneaking around. After looking around a few times, they closed all the windows and doors of the inn.

"Captain Serio, they really have a problem!"
