Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf
Chapter 156 The Wizard, the King and the Wildcat (Part Two and One)
The sun has set in the west.
The blood-red sunset filled the sky, and the golden-red sunshine shone on the courtyard of the ruined castle.
The neatly arranged pale bones were also dyed golden under this light, making them look somewhat sacred.
Vesemir, who was wearing a black wide-brimmed hat, lowered his head and looked at the remains of the old people that had been collected on the ground.
The sun shone on the wide-brimmed hat, casting a large shadow that obscured the master witcher's face, making it difficult to see his expression clearly.
The innkeeper and the landlady's commission was destined to be impossible to complete.
After all, Vesemir is just a demon hunter, and there is no way to determine the identity of the deceased based on the bones.
These bodies had also been cleaned and manipulated by certain people, and their identities could not be identified from the locations where they were found.
It was naturally impossible for Vesemir to find Viscount Hudson's family among so many bones.
Even Aylin saw the sullen look on the Master Demon Hunter's face, and had the idea to try an appraisal, but only got:
[Name: Human Skeletons]
[Type: Ordinary Material]
[Note: This is just a pile of ordinary human bones]
In the judgment of the Demon Hunting Notes...
Whether he was a noble or a commoner during his lifetime, someone admired and missed him, or he has been forgotten by the world...
After death, there is a pile of bones.
They are just a pile of ordinary human bones.
Aylin patted Vesemir on the shoulder and comforted:
"Master Vesemir, at least no child's bones were found, and there were very few women's bones. Viscount Hudson's family must have been rescued by someone."
Only then did Vesemir come back to his senses. He turned his head and looked at Aylin's worried expression, feeling warm in his heart.
"If what the red-haired elf is looking for is the human couple mentioned by the innkeeper, that couple is probably the one who rescued them."
"It's a pity that the clues are all gone now, and I don't know where to look."
Vesemir sighed.
Some regrets and some relief.
In fact, after learning that this matter was related to the king and the wizard, deep down he didn't want to continue investigating.
After all, it was more than ten years ago.
Although Viscount Hudson left a profound influence on him, Vesemir did not owe him anything.
It's fine if he's alone. It's okay to continue the investigation like this and pay justice to his past friends.
Too bad he wasn't.
The school is on the verge of collapse and has no time to take care of itself.
He didn't want to drag Aylin into trouble because of his personal matters.
Even if, as Aelin said, the king is Kaer Morhen's real enemy, it is the same if he wants to destroy the Wolf School.
Aylin has a good teacher. The demise of the school does not mean that he will die with him.
As long as she didn't attract the hatred and attention of the king and wizard, Ms. Vera could definitely save his life.
As for the mission of the red-haired elf? What attracts the elves?
Vesemir didn't trust those long ears.
"Perhaps it would be the best choice to just die like this." He thought to himself.
"Maybe there's another way I can try."
Aylin's words interrupted Vesemir's emotion. He was stunned for a moment and said curiously:
"What method?"
Aylin did not reply immediately.
Wolf emblem perspective link.
Hazy bright spots of various colors suddenly appear.
Cyan, blue, red, yellow... black...
Yes.
There are supposed to be only four magic elements in this world.
There is a black element in Aylin's magic vision.
Just now, when Vesemir lamented that witchers could not feel magic, he opened the wolf emblem and discovered this element.
This unique element was very similar to the feeling that the residual resentment brought to him.
The same unknown and strange.
Aylin believes that this inexplicable element should be the culprit that causes demon spirits to appear under the blue sky and white sun.
However, seeing that the master demon hunter seemed to be temporarily absent-minded and indulged in memories, he did not disturb him.
"Master Vesemir, I can see the elements in the air."
"What!" The master demon hunter opened his mouth wide, then slapped his forehead and said regretfully:
"Yes, the demon hunter's eyes can clearly see the flow of magic in the monster's body. How could he not feel the magic in the air?"
"So you've discovered something unusual?"
Vesemir expected.
Aylin nodded slightly and led Vesemir towards the place where the black element points were concentrated.
…
Adai Town.
The estate of Earl Burns.
"What's the situation now with the castle ruins?"
"There is a demon hunter..." Serio glanced at Soy, who was leaning against the wall. "He is a demon hunter from the Wolf School. He is cleaning up the ruined castle with an apprentice."
"The three of us also went in together to explore whether there were elves hiding in the ruins."
"After that, Fargo was seriously injured by the demon spirit, and we all retreated."
"What about the two demon hunters?" The king asked abnormally nervously, "Then those two demon hunters also left with you?"
Serio answered truthfully and said:
"No, they should still be cleaning up the rubble inside."
King Haxo's face suddenly darkened, and every groove on his fat face revealed anger and dissatisfaction.
The atmosphere in the large room also became depressed because of the king's anger.
"Who is it?"
"Who commissioned them to clear the castle?"
Haxo asked loudly.
Damn it!
Why is the king's reaction so great!
Could there be any other secrets hidden in this castle that was destroyed ten years ago?
Bowen's heart was in a mess, and the chill instantly went straight from his tailbone to his scalp, and a thin layer of sweat oozed out of his forehead.
He instinctively turned his head to look at Serio, and found that Serio was also pale and had no color.
Just then.
"What's wrong, Haxo?"
"It's just killing a few demons. Is there something wrong with the castle? Do you need my help to clean it up?"
The deep male voice from the right saved them.
Haxo heard Soi's seemingly concerned inquiry and realized that something was wrong.
In front of the Wolf School Grandmaster, asking the true identity of the Wolf School Demon Hunter's employer.
This is equivalent to a provocation to the Wolf School.
"The plan is on track, and now is not the time to tear our faces apart." Haxo thought.
So he took a deep breath, calmed down, and laughed:
"Hahaha, how could that be, Grandmaster Soi."
"The demon hunters from your sect with apprentices should be here to participate in the fighting competition."
"There are only a few days left in the competition. I'm worried that their injuries will affect their state in the competition."
Then, without waiting for Soi's reply, he smiled and said to his left and right:
"Grandmaster Soi should be tired after traveling. Come on, take the grandmaster down to rest."
Soy did not expose Haxo's hypocritical performance. He looked at Haxo deeply, then pointed at Serio and Bowen and said:
"Let them take me there."
Haxo was stunned for a moment and retracted his smile.
He looked at Soi expressionlessly, nodded, and said:
"Serio, in the next few days, take your team members to protect Grandmaster Soi."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Bowen and Serio pretended to be reluctant on the surface, but they were relieved at the same time.
Misjudging the position of the castle ruins in the king's heart, it almost caused a disaster.
"Squeak~"
The door with exquisite patterns was closed.
The room suddenly fell silent.
"Damn demon hunters!" The quiet environment lasted only for a moment before it was broken by an angry roar.
"As long as we follow our plan, these demon hunters will definitely die cleanly, my king!"
Jaynes comforted him, and then when Haxo calmed down, he raised his mouth and said:
"But... Your Majesty, you are really ruthless..."
"I heard that Grandmaster Soi once saved your and your mother's lives, but now you repay them like this..."
"Pah!"
Haxo seemed to be poked in pain, and his fat palm slammed on the table.
The bloody gravy in the silver plate splashed out, scaring the male servants on both sides to come over and wipe it clean immediately.
"Jaynes, are you provoking the kingdom on behalf of Ban Ade College?" Haxo roared.
"Clang!"
The guards beside him also drew their swords and pointed them at Jaynes.
"Sorry, sorry, Your Majesty, I just heard such a news. Judging from your reaction now, it should be false."
Jaynes was obviously not scared. He just took a step back in fear, but his eyes were still looking at Haxo with a playful look.
Unlike demon hunters, wizards will also lose their fertility during the process of magic awakening.
But due to the randomness of magic awakening, and their appearance is no different from that of ordinary people, or even more superior after transformation.
The relationship between them and the secular world is closer than that of demon hunters with strange cat eyes.
Especially for the noble class.
After the accidental magic awakening, civilians often abandon those gifted children out of fear of the unknown.
The nobles will send their awakened offspring to Ban Ade or Aretusa and support them with a lot of money.
Due to the high cost of learning and research for wizard apprentices, they often go further and more smoothly than civilian apprentices of the same age.
Losing fertility also makes them more friendly with the nobles.
Therefore, there is often a prosperous family behind a high-level wizard.
For example, Jaynes, who often contradicts the king.
He is the vice-dean of Ban Ade and the legitimate son of the patriarch of the Furen family, whose titles are distributed across three countries. His family power is not much inferior to that of the royal family.
There are many male wizards with noble status like Ban Ade Academy, and even one or two in the royal family, but their talents are relatively ordinary.
Therefore, although wizards and demon hunters are synonymous with mystery and weirdness in the folk,
But in the upper class of the Northern Kingdom, the status between the two is very different.
So even as the king of Kaedwen, Haxo can only suppress his anger and go down this steep step that does not make people feel comfortable.
"You still have the mind to joke, it seems that the ruins of the castle in Baiguoyuan will not have any problems because of these two demon hunters?" he asked tentatively.
Jaynes shook his head.
There will be problems, and you still have the leisure to tease me here...Haxo was immediately furious, his fat body was trembling, and he was about to curse.
"It's too late." Janes walked to the window, opened the blinds, and looked out of the manor.
"Although Baiguoyuan is not far from here, with the speed at which demon hunters hunt demons, even if we send people over now."
"The demons in the ruins should have been killed almost, even if there are a few left, it's meaningless."
"But..."
"But what?" Haxo asked hurriedly.
"But the ruins are not important now. The location has been accurately located between three towns. Even if we send troops to search a little bit, it won't take much time."
After a pause, he lowered his head and pondered:
"Moreover, it is difficult to understand that Melesco's ring of resentment can roughly lock the target for nearly ten years."
"According to past research..."
"I don't care whether it's Melesco or Mesco. Just tell me when you can find them?"
Haxo interrupted loudly.
Janes, whose thoughts were interrupted, looked over.
The King of Kaedwen, who was extremely obese due to overeating, was stuck in his seat like an irritable wild boar.
A trace of contempt flashed in Jaynes' eyes, and he stopped explaining to the cow and said directly:
"According to the troops you sent now, it will take at most three days. If you can add more troops, maybe one or two days will be enough."
Then, without waiting for Haxo's response, his lips and teeth moved slightly as the magic power surged.
"Bang!"
The orange portal suddenly appeared in the center of the room.
The strong wind caused by the sudden change of space blew the silver plates, wine glasses and cutlery on the table to Hackso.
Then Jaynes left through the portal with another wizard without even looking at Hackso.
After the two wizards left, Hackso, who was embarrassed by the bloody gravy, should have cursed loudly in anger.
But he didn't.
Instead, he took the pure white silk scarf handed to him by the trembling manservant next to him with extreme calmness, and carefully wiped the stains on his face bit by bit.
It was as if the previous rage and irritability were just a show.
"Your Majesty, Wizard Jaynes just has a strange temper, and he should not represent Ban Ade..."
Haxo raised his hand to interrupt the comfort of his trusted servants, and said casually:
"Jaynes has a strange temper, but don't the wizards of Ban Ade know it?"
"They sent Jaynes as a representative to contact me, isn't it to suppress the royal power?"
"Bang~Bang~"
Before he finished speaking, the servants and guards in the room were frightened by the king's straightforward words and knelt down in fear.
"Get up."
Haxo shook his head.
He tapped the black oak table with his sturdy index finger. After thinking for a moment, he tilted his head and asked:
"Philis, have my little wild cats arrived at Ban Ade?"
The trusted male servant called Phyllis leaned over and said:
"Your Majesty, they just arrived this morning."
"Because the inn refused their request to stay, they cut off the boss's hands and hung them at the door, causing a lot of chaos in the city."
"Heh! The little wild cats have caused me trouble again..."
Haxo laughed, as if the bloody case in Ban Ade had nothing to do with him, the King of Kaedwen.
"Since you are so excited, find something for them to do."
"Philis, find someone to tell them that the apprentices of the Wolf School are all commissioned in the Hundred Fruit Garden."
"Yes, Your Majesty." Phyllis responded to the king's order and was about to leave.
Suddenly thinking of something, he turned around and asked, "Do we need to warn them about the innkeeper?"
"No, that's Ben Ade. Although the little wild cats are sometimes not very smart, they are not stupid."
Phyllis nodded and left the room.
"Bang~"
The door was gently closed.
Haxo looked at the blood-red sunset outside the window and whispered:
"You ruined my good deeds, so you have to pay the price first."
