Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Endure the pain!"

"ah!"

The screams echoed through the ruins.

The young knight looked pale, with veins popping out on his face.

No wonder the knight couldn't help shouting.

Salt is used to pickle the wound to remove the toxins called "maliciousness" by the witchers, and the high temperature is used to stop the bleeding, so the pain of torture is gone.

But this is the emergency method to deal with wounds caused by demon spirits.

Although you can also use holy water offered to the gods, or ask the priests of the righteous gods to help treat it, it is definitely more gentle.

It's a pity that the wound on the young knight's back is so big and the blood is flowing profusely that he may not be able to wait that long.

Vesemir withdrew the dagger glowing red.

"Okay, just find a place to bandage it, there won't be any side effects."

"Thank you, Lord Vesemir." The middle-aged knight said gratefully.

Unlike Bowen, who joined not long ago, Fargo has not only been his team member, but also followed him to complete many tasks assigned by the king.

Fargo is still a descendant of the family, the child of his eldest sister.

When he saw him being hacked to the ground by the monster in the battle just now, Serio's heart almost stopped. He was afraid that something might happen to Fargo, so he was too embarrassed to go back and face his eldest sister's sad expression.

Thinking of this, the middle-aged knight helped Fargo, tilted his head and said:

"Thank you too...um..."

"My name is Aylin."

"Thank you too, Aylin... If it weren't for you, Fargo would definitely be dead by now." The middle-aged knight thanked him sincerely.

Fargo was also sweating and pale, and weakly nodded to him with grateful eyes.

"You're welcome. Didn't you just come over and help me block a sword?"

Aylin was a little uncomfortable with the sudden change in the middle-aged knight's attitude.

"On the battlefield, we should help each other, and based on the strength you have shown, I am just the icing on the cake."

The middle-aged knight shook his head, stood up straight, and said seriously:

"Aelin, I'm Celio Coyle."

"The Coyles owe you a favor."

Then, the middle-aged knight nodded to Vesemir again, and he and Bowen were about to support Fargo and walk toward the exit of the ruins.

What the witcher said was true.

They came to the ruins of the castle to drive away the demons, not to harbor them.

Naturally, there was no need for the few knights to risk their lives and stay any longer.

Witchers are monster experts, they're... just knights.

"Wait a moment, Captain Serio, I have something to ask." Bowen said suddenly.

"Do we need to avoid it?" Serio was stunned for a moment, but he didn't show any surprise.

Bowen shook his head, looked at Vesemir, and said:

"Witcher... Your Excellency, I heard you just said that these monsters should not appear in the daylight, right?"

Vesemir nodded and said, "This is my experience."

"So this situation is not natural? Is it because the wizard cast a spell? Or did Viscount Hudson summon an evil spirit?" Bowen asked.

"Hudson summoned an evil spirit?" Vesemir asked in surprise, "Why do you have this guess?"

As a northern country with orthodox belief, summoning evil spirits is fatal to a noble's reputation. Even rival families would not use this excuse to tarnish each other's reputations.

Because if you are not careful, it will lead to endless aristocratic war.

so.

This is not a conjecture that can be talked about casually, let alone listening to the previous conversations between these knights.

This knight named Bowie is also a member of the same race as Hudson.

Serio and Fargo looked surprised. They had never heard of this, and they didn't understand why Bowen would let them hear the news.

After Bowen considered it for a moment, he said:

"This is not a guess, this is the investigation result of the palace wizard after Viscount Hudson's family was suddenly buried in a fire."

"It's just that the elders in the family are not convinced."

"Although I don't know Viscount Hudson, my elders believe that the Viscount is an upright man and cannot summon evil spirits."

"And they calculated the time. With the kingdom's administrative efficiency, the investigation results came out too quickly, which is too suspicious."

"It's just because belief in evil spirits is a huge stain on the family's reputation. If the king holds on to this, it will harm the interests of the family, so there has been no in-depth investigation."

After a pause, Bowen raised his head, glanced at the people around him, and then said:

"Captain Serio must have guessed that I was sent by the family to test the king's attitude and see if he could take back this fiefdom. In addition, after such a long time, the elders in the clan also want to know the truth of the matter."

Therio Coyle listened with no expression on his face.

He regretted not leaving directly before.

The highest ranking members of the Coyle family are just a few barons, most of whom do not yet have fiefs.

The reason why he was able to join the king's bodyguard was because of his status as a swordsman champion, not his family background.

It is true that one should not get involved in power disputes involving great nobles, kings and wizards.

At this time.

He should just leave without listening to anything, and then report what happened when he goes back.

The next thing is none of your business, just hang it up high.

What is uncomfortable is that although the Coyle family is not a vassal of the Val family, many of the territories of the two families are very close to each other.

Especially the territory of Serio's father, which is only separated from the Val family by a small river.

Therefore, hearing what Bowen said, Serio could only curse in his heart, but pretended not to hear anything.

Bowen didn't care, sighed, and then said sincerely:

"Sir Demon Hunter, I didn't want to reveal such news, but I can see that you and Viscount Hudson have a very good relationship, so I told you all the truth."

Fortunately, he is just testing the king's attitude now.

Originally, he planned to find time to come to the ruins of the castle alone.

Fortunately, he didn't do it.

Fighting a demon spirit was already difficult for him, just think about the scene after coming in alone.

His scalp tingled.

"The Wolf School adheres to neutrality..." The school's slogan had not been finished yet.

Bowen said quickly:

"I just want to ask you to help clear the monsters in the castle, and then tell us the source of the monsters. It does not violate the neutrality principle of your school."

"And we are willing to pay a reward of 1,000 orens for this commission..."

As he said, he quickly took out a purse from the leather armor on his chest, poured out a silver metal block, and handed it to Vesemir:

"This is five marks of pure silver, worth five hundred orens, as a deposit.

Vesemir still planned to refuse.

"Agree, Master Vesemir."

Alin's mouth moved slightly, and he persuaded in a voice that only demon hunters could hear.

So.

Vesemir glanced at Alin obscurely, hesitated for a moment, and took the silver block.

Bowen smiled, and seeing that Vesemir looked embarrassed, he didn't say anything, and was about to help Fargo leave.

His eyes suddenly swept across Alin's blue and clear cat eyes, hesitated for a moment, and asked:

"By the way, demon hunter Alin, how old are you this year..."
