Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Night.

The starry sky is low.

The faint light cast by the new moon and the stars cannot illuminate the world, not to mention that this is a valley.

Under the cover of the towering rock walls, the light of the stars and the moon received by the camp is even weaker.

In addition, there are abandoned tall wooden racks and various stone piles that were originally used for unknown purposes.

"It's a good place for stealth assassination."

In the previous life, the senior keyboard assassin Ailin commented behind the supply box in the corner of the camp.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~"

Seven or eight soldiers holding refined spears and wearing well-tanned leather armor patrolled from the main road of the camp.

Ailin quickly shrank his head and hid in the shadow of the supply box. Looking at the back of the team of soldiers, he felt a strange excitement in his heart.

He had the urge to follow them and cut the throats of those guards with a sword.

"As long as we kill all the people who see me, it will be a successful stealth."

A thought suddenly flashed through his mind, and then the young demon hunter shook his head violently, throwing away this terrible idea.

Calm down! Calm down!

This is reality, not a game!

His goal is not to simply kill an important target in the camp.

He must recapture the trajectory formed by the black magic points, find the human couple, and finally escort them to escape from this camp smoothly and safely.

With this goal, killing this group of guards is meaningless.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~"

Another team of guards passed by under the illumination of burning torches on both sides of the main road, interrupting his reverie.

As long as they pay a little attention and check the pile of supply boxes, Ailin will be exposed, and then there is a high probability that he will die in this unknown temporary camp.

Thinking of this, the young demon hunter's heartbeat accelerated and his breathing became rapid.

It was as if...

The team of guards who were walking slowly over might suddenly turn their eyes to this supply box at any time.

Following the orders of "alert" and "engage the enemy", the sharp spear tip rushed towards him.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~"

The guards were getting closer and closer, and the heartbeat of the young demon hunter was beating like a war drum in his ears as his reverie deepened.

Fortunately,

these guards also did not find Aylin, and like the patrolling guards in front, they gradually moved away under the dim flickering firelight.

"Huh!"

Aylin breathed a sigh of relief.

The young demon hunter had all kinds of unrealistic fantasies in his mind...

One moment he wanted to follow and assassinate like in the game of his previous life, and the next moment he was worried and suspicious...

On the one hand, it was because he had never done such a stealth assassination, especially in this environment where hundreds of elite soldiers gathered.

After all, the Wolf School was not a cat or a viper.

The enemies they had to face were basically monsters, and Vesemir did not teach them how to escape thousands of miles away if they missed a single blow under heavy siege.

As for the other side...

[Name: Ailin]

[Health: 100%, Stamina 310/310, Magic 373/410]

He was waiting for his magic to recover.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~"

Another team of guards came on patrol.

Ailin took advantage of the fact that they happened to pass in front of him, and his whole body was like a layer of ripples on the water.

Then he merged into the dark night of the camp.

At this time.

The last soldier on patrol seemed to have noticed something and turned his head back vigilantly.

"What's wrong, Tres?" The soldier next to him asked in confusion.

"Uh... nothing, I just felt like something moved behind me." Tres, who found nothing, looked behind him again.

"Hiss~"

The soldier next to him took a breath, followed his line of sight, and looked behind him vigilantly.

Under the dim and jumping firelight, there was nothing behind.

"Don't scare me, Tres."

"Ban Ade is a weird place. There is a town nearby that is said to have a ghost castle, full of wandering ghosts..."

The soldier called Tres scratched his head and was about to speak.

"Soldier! What are you chatting about?"

A shout from the front of the team interrupted them.

The two soldiers looked at each other, then immediately shut up and continued patrolling.

"Huh~"

Behind the two soldiers, under the cover of the illusion, Ailin quietly exhaled a foul breath.

Mirage Pearl·Illusion.

Ever since using the Mirage Pearl to create an illusion to avoid the fatal blow of the Water Ghost King.

Ailin has never relaxed his practice of the Mirage Pearl, and every day he would take at least an hour to explore the construction method of the illusion.

Hard work pays off.

The illusion created by the young demon hunter with the help of the mirage pearls was originally a blurry photo-like painting-like plane. After becoming familiar with the mirage pearls, the mystery and magic power were greatly improved. Under the extreme state, it can create a three-dimensional illusion of 16 cubic meters, which is almost the size of an ordinary room.

Of course, this 16 cubic meter three-dimensional illusion lasts for a very short time, only about two seconds.

And when there is sufficient light, although the illusion created by Ailin is very similar to the original object, it is very inconsistent, and the details are seriously distorted.

Fortunately.

It is dark now, so there is no need for such extreme effects.

A dark illusion that simulates the normal scenery of the camp is enough.

"These soldiers in this camp are definitely elite."

He followed the guards in stealth.

The Cat School Two-handed Sword LV3 made his steps more flexible, light and silent.

Even if he was only one meter away from the previous guard, he would not be discovered.

This was something that the Wolf School Two-handed Sword could not do.

After walking about ten meters, a deep and dark cave appeared in front of the team.

A cave?

Is it here?

Immediately linking the wolf emblem in his mind, Ailin concentrated and observed carefully.

There seemed to be a line of black dots in the air.

The direction of the black line was the cave in front.

Found the place!

Ailin's eyes suddenly lit up, and then he looked around.

A pile of stones as high as a person, fallen and broken wood, and...

Hmm?

Is this a mine cart?

The young demon hunter was about to take a closer look when he suddenly felt dizzy.

Not good!

Not enough magic power!

Ailin directly left the patrol route of the guards, maintaining the illusion and quickly walked to the cave, the pile of stones as high as a person.

The moment he hid behind the pile of stones, his magic power was directly exhausted, and Ailin's brain suddenly surged with emptiness.

Yes.

Even a rough illusion of a dark and rough plane can only last for two minutes with Ailin's current magic value.

Therefore.

The young demon hunter walked and stopped in the camp, and most of the time he hid in a small corner waiting for his magic power to recover.

"Hu~"

Leaning against a big stone, Ailin let out a long breath.

There was no one in front of the dark cave in front, only an abandoned mine car parked on the track.

This place should have been a mine.

Thinking of this, Ailin frowned slightly.

Mine?

It seems like I have heard it somewhere?

The young demon hunter lowered his head and pondered.

"Who are you?"

At that moment, the sudden voice from behind made the young demon hunter who was thinking, his body tremble violently.

He instinctively turned around to draw his sword, but he felt something suddenly pressed against his heart on his back.

The sharp touch made his hair stand on end, and he instantly stopped his body's instinctive reaction.

What happened?

I didn't see anyone behind the pile of stones just now?

"Answer me! Who are you? What are you doing here? Why did you suddenly appear here?"

The voice was low but serious.

At the same time, the sharp feeling on the heart of the demon hunter's back was stronger, even a little stinging.

But Ailin was relieved.

Because he heard it clearly this time.

The voice hiding behind him was a female voice, and it was basically impossible for women to appear in the human army of Kaedwen.

At least there could be no women holding weapons.

Unless...

This woman was not in the same group as the Kaedwen soldiers in the camp.

"As you can see, I carry two swords," the demon hunter wanted to turn around, but the increased stinging on his back stopped him, "So I am a demon hunter, a demon hunter of the Wolf School."

As soon as the voice fell, Ailin felt the stinging pain in his back eased slightly.

"What are you doing here? And you're sneaking around. Isn't this your human territory?"

Human territory?

The words were full of hostility towards humans!

The person behind him was really not human?

After pondering for a moment, Ailin told the truth and said:

"I received a commission from an elf a few days ago, and now I'm trying to complete this commission."

"Which elf, what commission?"

"A red-haired female elf, she gave me a commission in my mind."

"Red hair, can enter your mind, it's Ada!"

The woman behind him revealed surprise in her voice, and even the sharp weapon against Ailin's back was completely loosened.

The demon hunter took this opportunity, took a step forward, and turned around in an instant.

A slender figure in a black tights appeared in front of him.

She held a dagger with a cold glow, and the pair of eyes revealed in the black mask and headscarf were wide open, full of surprise.

It seemed that he didn't expect the demon hunter in front of him to be so bold.

For Aylin, it was too late to draw the sword or cast a sign at this time. Moreover, it was not clear whether the newcomer was a friend or foe, and it was not appropriate to make a big noise in the heavily guarded camp of the Kaedweni army.

So.

Aylin took a step forward, with the knuckles of his right palm facing upwards, and instantly lifted it upwards.

At lightning speed, under the surprised eyes of the man in black, he grabbed the wrist of the man in black holding the dagger.

So weak!

Feeling the strength of the man in black's hand, the demon hunter opened his mouth slightly, with some confusion in his eyes.

He didn't expect to disarm the enemy so easily.

"Didn't you realize that this man was suffering from the side effects of exhausting his magic power just now?" Aylin was a little puzzled.

The right hand holding the other party's slender wrist shook lightly.

The dagger with a cold light fell down in an instant and was held by a pair of hands covered with thick calluses.

The next moment.

The sharp edge of the dagger was close to the neck of the man in black.

The young demon hunter completed this series of actions within three seconds.

The man in black felt the shadow in front of him flicker, and then the blade of his beloved dagger was pointed at his neck.

How... How is it possible?

Who is this demon hunter?

That's right... Aida.

He just said that he was a demon hunter commissioned by Ian Savini.

...

Complex thoughts flooded into his mind, and the pupils of the man in black's beautiful eyes trembled.

"Huh~"

Take a breath.

Aylin clenched the dagger in his hand, glanced at the soldiers patrolling the camp, and quietly calmed down his breathing that was somewhat disordered by the short period of intense activity.

This is the first time he has used the skill of Cat School Two-Handed Sword Level 3.

This action, which is similar to grappling in previous lives, is an advanced technique used by Cat School demon hunters to knock down their swords or disarm enemies in narrow terrain.

It was also the first time for Aylin to use this kind of technique against humans that was not available in the swordsmanship of the Wolf School. It felt amazing.

After all, not many monsters know how to use weapons.

"Very well, now it's my turn to ask questions."

"Who are you, this 'elf lady' who suddenly appeared?"

"What are you doing here?"

"Also...who is the Ada you are talking about?"

Aelin asked softly.

The man in black, who had no reaction to "Ms. Elf", instantly frowned when he heard the name "Ada" and was about to speak out.

Sudden.

The dagger holding his neck suddenly loosened.

She saw the strange demon hunter in front of her. After taking back the dagger, she turned her wrist and placed the carefully carved wooden handle of the dagger in her hand.

This... what does this mean?

The man in black felt a little strange, but he hesitated and took the dagger.

"Lady Elf, can you tell me now why you are here?"

Aelin said softly.

"You...are you not afraid that I will use this dagger against you again?"

A clear sound like the tinkling of a mountain spring suddenly came from the mask of the man in black.

Aylin was stunned for a moment, looking at the blue eyes exposed from the gap between the mask and hood.

"Is this her real voice?" he thought to himself, "It sounds pretty good."

Then, he shook his head and said:

"No, since you didn't hurt me in the first place, you must have realized it."

"I am wandering around this camp in a sneaky way. Naturally, like you, who is also sneaking around, I was not invited in by Kaedwen's army."

"Maybe our goals are the same, what do you think?"

Having said that, Aylin was actually not afraid of this unknown man in black getting the dagger.

When he just grabbed the dagger, he discovered that the man in black was very weak, very weak.

The wrist is so weak that the weapon falls off with a slight shock. I don't think I have any melee skills above LV1, so there is nothing to be afraid of.

It's better to return the dagger, leave a good impression, and increase your favorability.

When the man in black heard that he was also described as "sneaky", his eyebrows frowned slightly, and then he remembered that he was entrusted by Ada.

So he stretched his brows and nodded slightly.

Aylin smiled upon seeing this and said, "My name is Aylin, a demon hunter from the Wolf School."

The man in black hesitated for a moment, but when he saw the gentle smile on the demon hunter's face through the faint firelight, he was stunned for a moment and said:

"My name is Francesca Findaby..."

"Ion Sheedy...or as you humans call him..."

"An elf."
