Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Baiguoyuan?

Rows of thatched houses, wide streets, green trees and wild flowers...

This place is indeed very similar to the Pagoda Garden, but it is definitely not the Pagoda Garden he has been to.

Ailin's cat pupils shrank into vertical lines as he stared at the familiar herbal shop opposite.

If this was really the fruit orchard he knew.

The room he was in now should be the hotel where several demon hunters from Baiguoyuan lived.

But if not...

How could the arrangement of the streets, the shape of the herbal medicine shop opposite, and even the location of the well not far away be exactly the same?

"This...how is this possible?"

Holding on to the door frame, Aylin murmured to himself in surprise.

The confusion in his mind was uncontrollable, as if he had been unconscious for thirty years instead of three days.

That’s right!

coma!

Aylin immediately turned to look at Francesca and asked:

"How did we get here? How did we escape from the rock trolls, I mean?"

"Teleported here," Francesca trembled upon hearing this, "At that time, short-distance teleportation required less mental power, but in an emergency, I could only overdraw my mental power to teleport..."

"What are the consequences of overdrafting mental power transmission?" Aylin grasped the key point.

"It will be very painful..." Francesca's face turned pale, "and there is no way to determine the direction and location of the teleportation."

"Random teleportation?" Aylin said subconsciously.

Francesca had never heard of this spell, but after pondering the meaning, she nodded.

"Yes, just like you said... uh... randomly... teleported. In this case, it is possible to be teleported to anywhere."

After pausing for a second, she swallowed:

"It may even be teleported into the crevices of the rock..."

After a few seconds of silence to digest the information, Aylin then asked: "Then we were teleported here?"

Francesca nodded:

"At that time, we fell in front of the herbal medicine shop opposite. You were covered in injuries and unconscious, and I was also confused because of overdraft."

“The owner of the herbal medicine shop—he was Grandma Asha’s student—sent us over when he saw us…”

Aylin fell into deep thought, and he always felt that something was wrong.

coma……

Yes, he almost forgot about that weird dream.

That dark space that keeps sinking, feeling helpless and unable to control itself, that blood-red eyes that make one’s hair stand on end just by recalling them, that sacred voice where the voices of a girl, a woman, and an old woman overlap into one...

Why did he have this dream?

[...Wear this amulet at all times...Do not use spells such as portals...]

Ms. Vera's cold voice came to mind.

Teleportation over short distances is also teleportation.

So that eye is the evil god who built the swamp witch belief in Jingguan...

And that voice...

"Girl, woman, old woman, the characteristics are already obvious."

"So the voice that sounded like the goddess Meriteri in the dream told me to go to the Temple of Meliteri in Elland!"

"Sure enough, you will know when you wake up."

Aelin thought.

With a change of thought, he took out the amulet of the goddess Meriteri from his chest.

"Huh?"

Aylin frowned, quickly raised the amulet and looked at it carefully.

In the three holy statues of the silver amulet, there is a dark crack on the body of the girl and the woman.

After thinking about it for a while, Aylin remembered that there were two "clicking" sounds in his dream.

After a voice sounded, he remembered the faces of many people and stopped sinking.

The other sound was that a beam of light appeared directly on his chest, hitting his big eyeball, breaking the pressure that prevented him from floating up.

"What would happen if you completely sank in a dream?"

As soon as this idea popped up in his mind, a strong heart palpitation seemed to come from the depths of Zi's soul, making him throw away this dangerous idea completely in an instant.

"Thanks to the Meriteri amulet given by Ms. Vera, otherwise..." Aylin's whole body trembled.

His eyes looked at the cracks on the amulet again.

Obviously, this talisman can only passively resist the damage of the evil god once.

By the way, Ms. Vera.

It's already the third day, why hasn't the love bird that requested the "Green Sigh" potion flown back yet?

Even if Lady Vera is not in the castle, Mary will definitely return the love bird within one day.

This is what they agreed upon.

Aylin's brows almost knitted together.

"I can't even find the love bird. What the hell is this place?"

…

Adai Town.

The entrance to Earl Burns's manor.

"Who!"

The king's personal guard placed his right hand on the hilt of the long sword and looked warily at the suspicious person riding on horseback wearing a black hood.

If it weren't for the horse under the man, with its strong limbs and shiny coat, it would have been worth a lot of money.

After getting closer, I noticed the suspicious person's hood and cloak. Although the color was ordinary, the material looked like precious silk.

Those who did not notify in advance would have been captured long ago.

When the suspicious man heard the hostile questioning, he stepped off his horse, turned over and jumped out of the saddle, then took off his hood and said expressionlessly:

"I am Vera, Vera of Toussaint."

"I'm here to see Thori Henrietta, the great master of the Wolf School in Kaer Morhen, please inform me."

"Vera of Toussaint..." A middle-aged knight who was at least 30 years old among the king's guards thought for a few seconds and suddenly turned pale.

"Vera of Toussaint? Are you the bloody red fox?"

"Clang!"

As soon as the voice fell, there was a commotion at the door.

The slightly older guards turned pale and couldn't help but raise their swords a little, revealing the scabbards shining with cold light.

A young guard just came back to his senses from the exquisite appearance of the sorceress, and saw the loss of composure of his predecessors, and asked in a confused whisper:

"Who is Vera of Toussaint?"

But no one paid attention to him.

"Can you please inform me?" There was obvious impatience in the cold female voice.

"Yes, ma'am."

The captain of the guards in charge of guarding the manor immediately stepped out after hearing the voice, saluted the sorceress, and ordered the young guard who asked the question to report back to the manor immediately.

The young man without common sense left, and there was silence at the door of the manor.

Even the captain of the guards said nothing, staring straight into the distance, as if there was some great enemy hiding in the void that could endanger the safety of the manor and the king.

Vera didn't care, and stood there holding the reins and waiting.

About ten minutes later, a man with white hair and beard, who looked like the manor's steward, came quickly with the young guards.

"Dear Ms. Vera, the king is ill and can't see anyone, so I'll take you to the residence of Grand Master Soi."

"Ill?" Vera sneered, "You don't dare to see me, right?"

The butler didn't dare to speak, but just leaned forward and smiled awkwardly.

The guards on the side looked like they hadn't heard anything, their backs were straight, and their eyes were looking into the distance.

Vera didn't embarrass these servants anymore, and said directly: "Lead the way!"

The butler was relieved immediately, nodded politely to the king's guards on both sides, and led the way into the manor.

Seeing the two people walking away, the young guard couldn't help but ask out of curiosity:

"Who is this Vera? Why are you all...all..."

"Are you all so afraid of her?" a team member asked.

The young guard pursed his lips and didn't dare to admit it.

"Didn't your family teach you history? You don't even know about the bloody red fox?" another team member asked in surprise.

The young guard laughed and was about to fool around when he suddenly felt a chill on the back of his head.

"Shut up!" The captain of the guard suddenly interrupted sternly, "Don't you know that the sorceress can read minds?"

"We've already walked so far..."

"Shut up, Anderson," the captain of the guard looked at the young guard and said, "Jerrick, if you have any questions, go back and read the book yourself. Ms. Vera's deeds are in the Elerian Uprising..."

"But now, go back to where you should guard and do what you should do. Do you understand?"

"Yes, captain!"

...

Although the captain of the king's guards was afraid of being read, the sorceress would naturally not be so bored and waste time on a group of soldiers.

After following the butler for three or four minutes, Vera came to Soi's yard.

Two king's guards were guarding the door. Seeing that the visitor was led by the butler, they looked at Vera curiously.

"Dong~Dong~Dong~"

The butler knocked on the door gently.

Before the person inside the door responded, Vera pushed the door directly into the courtyard under the embarrassed gaze of the butler and the two guards.

Soi was sitting on a chair in the courtyard, maintaining two long swords. When he heard the door of the courtyard being pushed open, he tightened his steel sword alertly.

It was not until he saw that the person coming was Vera that he stood up in surprise and said:

"Vera? Why are you here?"

"Sorry, Grandmaster Soi, Ms. Vera didn't wait for me to knock on the door..." the housekeeper apologized.

"It's okay, you go down first." Soi nodded to the housekeeper.

"Squeak~"

The door of the courtyard was closed.

"Snap!"

A snap of fingers.

A light red soundproof magic rose in the courtyard.

Soi was stunned for a moment, and then heard the expressionless Vera suddenly frowned and said anxiously:

"Soi, Alin is missing!"

Missing?

Didn't Alin follow Vesemir to Ban Ade to prepare for the fighting competition?

How could he be missing?

Soi frowned and put the two swords back into the scabbard:

"Don't worry, explain the matter clearly. Ailin should be with Vesemir. How do you know he is missing?"

The sorceress knew that she had lost her composure. She took a deep breath and waited for her anxious mood to calm down.

"Snap!"

A snap of fingers.

A crystal bird appeared in the sorceress's palm, motionless.

A love bird?

Even though she knew that they had been given to Mary and Ailin, Soi's expression still became a little complicated when she saw this prop that looked like a beautiful decoration.

"Four days ago, Mary came to me with this love bird and some bad news."

"Several young demon hunters led by Vesemir were attacked. Although they repelled the enemy, an apprentice named Bonte was seriously injured..."

"What? Seriously injured?" Soi's face changed drastically, "Who dared to attack..."

"It doesn't matter. Don't interrupt. Listen to me!" The sorceress interrupted fiercely.

"Okay, okay." Soi took two steps back helplessly, shrugged, and motioned the sorceress to continue.

"They are all fine," the sorceress mentioned the result and continued, "but Bonte needs the Green Sigh to recover from his injuries, but when I am ready and let Mary write back to Alin..."

Soy glanced at the lovebird.

This magic prop has been with him for decades, so he naturally knew that the bird belonged to Alin.

"The lovebird flew around Mary's head for a few circles and then fell down."

"Soy, you know."

"This situation only happens when the user is trapped in a place where the lovebird can't find it, or..."

Or the user is dead.

Soy continued in his heart what the sorceress dared not say.

The sorceress took a deep breath and suppressed the throbbing in her heart:

"Then I found Vesemir according to the information given by Aylin."

"Vesemir told me that in order to attract allies for your Wolf School, Aylin accepted the commission from a red-haired elf - I suspect it was the elf sage Ada Amin -..."

Soy couldn't help but sigh and asked, "Then Aylin disappeared?"

"Yes, then Aylin disappeared."

The sorceress glared at him fiercely:

"Several young demon hunters have just been attacked, and Vesemir wants to protect them."

"It was Aylin... It was Aylin who persuaded Vesemir to complete the commission of that damn elf alone, and then..."

The sorceress closed her eyes sadly.

Fear grabbed her again at this moment, and stretched out the cold finger bones to stroke her heart.

After a long while, she wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said:

"Then...then only one of Ailin's horses came back that day..."

Soy patted her shoulder gently and comforted her:

"Ailin is a miracle..."

"I know!" The sorceress roared uncontrollably, "But the child of miracles will not die, which does not mean that he will not be injured, will not suffer pain, and will not suffer inhuman torture..."

"Especially this time, the elf's commission seems to conflict with Haxo..."

At this point, the sorceress grabbed Sooy's leather armor and said hurriedly:

"You have been with Haxo recently. Have you found anything abnormal about Haxo? Have you caught anyone? You, the head of the Wolf School, are here. There is no reason for him to catch someone and not show any abnormality."

The fragrance of orange mixed with cardamom hits the face.

After Soi took a deep sniff of the intoxicating scent, he suddenly recalled the king's abnormality:

"Just before you came, Haxo gave me a commission: to clean up the rock trolls deep in the mine in an abandoned mine."

"What does this have to do with Aylin?" The sorceress asked anxiously.

"According to the conversation between the two knights guarding the door, this abandoned mine is the temporary stationing place of the king's guards."

"The reason why Haxo gave me this commission is that the king's guards suffered heavy losses at the hands of the rock trolls..."

"And the reason why these guards went deep is because two "thieves" sneaked into the camp three days ago, and after being discovered by the guards, they fled to the mine."

The sorceress's eyes lit up when she heard this.

Three days ago, the time is right.

The mine has a complex terrain, and it is possible that the lovebird cannot find the target.

The temporary station of the king's guards is related to Haxo.

It makes sense.

But...

"Why two people?" asked the sorceress.

Soi shook his head and said, "You'll know when you go there tomorrow morning. You can go with me then. I'm sure Haxor won't refuse."

The sorceress nodded slightly.

At this moment, she was truly relieved.

After two or three minutes, the sorceress suddenly seemed to remember and said,

"That's right."

"The ones who attacked the witchers of the Wolf School were witchers of the Cat School."

"Vesemir and Ayling suspect that they were commissioned by Haxor."

The sorceress paused, stared at Soi who was silent, and said,

"So... don't be sentimental anymore, Soi."

"It's obvious that the boy you once saved, now King Haxor..."

"He..."

"Want to kill you!"
