Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Can I tag along?"

Vera turned around in surprise when she heard this.

This was the first time Mary dared to make a request to her.

The sorceress asked expressionlessly:

"Why do you want to come with me?"

Mary was stared at with cold eyes and took a step back unconsciously.

"Yeah, why should I go along?"

"It's late at night now, and there aren't any exciting adventures in Aelin's place. There are only two wizards. What should I do?"

At this time, Mary already felt a little regretful about her impulsiveness and recklessness.

But now if you say "just a joke" or "impulse" to Ms. Vera, you will definitely end up worse.

In Mary's anxiety, her brain was working rapidly, and finally, before Ms. Vera's patience ran out, an idea flashed:

"In the lovebird, Aylin sent several more potion formulas..."

"I want to go over and ask him if there is anything I should pay attention to in these refining techniques..."

Mary raised her eyes cautiously and peeked, trying to figure out the sorceress's attitude.

When she saw the cold look on the sorceress's face, the girl felt less and less confident, her courage became weaker and weaker, and her voice became lower and lower.

"Of course...if it doesn't work, forget it."

"It's the same if I study by myself..."

"Okay!" the sorceress said suddenly.

"Okay, then I'll stay in Kaer Morhen by myself..."

Mary's head gradually lowered, then raised suddenly, and asked in disbelief:

"What, Ms. Vera, you... agreed?"

The sorceress nodded slightly.

Mary was so happy that she almost jumped up and walked to the portal in a few steps.

But the sorceress stretched out her hand to stop her:

"Change clothes..."

Mary was stunned for a moment when she heard this. When she lowered her head and saw that she was still wearing pajamas, she immediately blushed with embarrassment.

However, after taking the time to change her clothes, Mary was still stopped by the sorceress.

Ms. Vera looked at Mary who was rubbing the hem of her clothes and was confused, and sighed:

"Aren't you going to ask about the method of refining the magic potion?"

"Don't bring the materials and alchemy equipment with you..."

"What are you going to ask?"

…

A mountain camp south of the Pontal River.

Whether it was true or false, Bogdan and Radek voluntarily went to Kaer Morhen, which saved the demon hunters a lot of effort.

After dinner.

Thomas Moreu and Macao both woke up once, but were soon knocked unconscious by Aelin.

The four of them chatted for a long time.

Wait until the new moon is high and the sky is filled with stars.

Even with the excitement of "betraying" Ben Ard and taking refuge in Kaer Morhen, the two wizard apprentices who had been traveling all day couldn't help but feel sleepy, and their upper and lower eyelids began to fight.

Aylin then looked at Vesemir:

"Rest first, Master Vesemir."

"It's getting late. Mary must have just received the teaser bird at this time, and Ms. Vera must have rested long ago."

"It's estimated that we won't arrive until tomorrow morning or noon..."

Vesemir nodded slightly.

No matter how much the sorceress liked his apprentice, she couldn't always be there for him.

After sending the two wizard apprentices, who had narrowed their eyes and were half asleep, to rest.

Vesemir glanced at Thomas Moru and Macao on the ground, tilted his head and said to Aylin:

"You go and rest first. I'll call you in the middle of the night."

Aelin nodded.

But he didn't need to find a tent and cover himself with a quilt before falling asleep like Bogdan and Radek did.

He leaned his back on a big stone and sat cross-legged with his legs.

"Hi~hoo~"

Between every breath and every breath.

The sounds in the surrounding environment become clearer, but half of the thinking of the brain becomes quiet.

Aelin entered into meditation.

Watching Aylin enter a meditative state for a second, Vesemir nodded with satisfaction.

…

Under the star-studded night, the bonfire was burning to the end, and it would take several seconds for the fire to crackle once or twice.

But the temperature emanating from the gentle flame is even more pleasant.

It's warm and perfect for falling asleep.

The flickering firelight cast half a shadow on the side of Aylin's face.

Aylin closed his eyes, and the mature and reliable feeling he had during the day suddenly disappeared.

Instead, there is still a childlike youth, and a touch of exhaustion.

"Still a child!"

Vesemir sighed.

Yes, Aylin is still just a child.

No matter how talented he is, no matter how he can create amazing potions and skills, he is just a fourteen-year-old child.

"What was I doing when I was fourteen?"

Looking at the apprentice's red face reflected in the firelight, Vesemir thought about it in a trance.

Fourteen years old was the happiest time in his life.

Having just escaped from the shadow of death in the Demon Hunter Trial, the young Vesemir followed the most respected Demon Hunter Soi in the northern continent to slay demons.

At that time, he was young and handsome. No matter which city he went to, he was greeted with expectant and admiring eyes.

The feast of the nobles, the flowers of the girls, the gratitude of the people...

Every witcher of the School of Wolf is a hero in the northern kingdoms, especially in Kaedwen.

He was once so high-spirited and intoxicated by the praise, flattery and admiration of everyone.

There is no need to think about the heavy question of whether the school will collapse tomorrow.

And Aylin...

He hadn't even fully passed the Witcher Trial, and he was burdened with the burden of the school's survival...

…

When did everything start to change?

So much so that I want to protect the glory of the school...

No!

So much so that if Kaer Morhen wants to continue to stand in the Blue Mountains, he needs a fourteen-year-old apprentice to search and struggle with all his energy.

Looking back afterwards, Vesemir saw clearly what Ben Ad and his party had just concluded.

Starting from the visit of the king's envoy in Kaer Morhen, if it were not for Aelin, the school might have been blinded by the past stability and prosperity, and stepped into the trap carefully prepared for them by the king and the wizard.

Countless times... just one wrong step and you will be doomed.

But Aylin still managed to walk out of the abyss almost single-handedly, carrying the Wolf School on his shoulders.

Although there is still the threat of Ban Ad waiting in front, but compared with the dangerous situation before going down the mountain.

A world of difference.

"How shameful!" Vesemir thought to himself.

As a mentor, his role during this period was just to not hold him back.

so……

How can we do more?

Vesemir was troubled.

"How can I have a greater impact on my apprentices and the future of the school?"

While Vesemir was deep in thought, the cold night wind of early spring blew by.

He looked up sharply.

The amber cat eyes were staring at the darkness at the end of the road behind him, and his right hand was holding back the hilt of the silver sword.

After a few seconds.

"Tap~tap~tap~"

The sound of gentle footsteps sounded.

The visitor didn't seem to have any hidden thoughts, and just walked over step by step.

"Master Vesemir..."

Aylin was also awakened from his meditation at this time. After glancing at Thomas Moru and Macao who were still "sleeping", he also held the hilt of the silver sword like Vesemir.

At the same time, he reached into the reagent bag with his left hand, grabbed a bottle of "Cat's Eye", then quietly stood up and stood guardedly beside the master demon hunter.

But it didn't take long.

When the footsteps gradually became clearer, a graceful figure wearing a hood came out of the darkness with claws and teeth.

After the figure took off his hood, revealing delicate facial features with a smile on his face, the two demon hunters lowered their right hands almost at the same time.

Vesemir looked at the sky.

Although I had expected the extent to which Ms. Vera cared about Aylin, the time has come...

It still shows that he underestimated the relationship between the two.

Was this because Mary had been waiting since she sent the teaser bird, and then came as soon as she received the reply?

Vesemir was puzzled and turned his head to look at his apprentice, wondering what kind of magic power Aelin had.

This is nothing more than a biological heir, right?

"Ms. Vera!"

Aylin greeted him in surprise.

He didn't expect the sorceress to come so quickly.

Before he could take a few steps, another small and graceful woman came... The girl came from behind the sorceress.

"Mary!"

"Why are you here too?"

This time Aylin was really surprised.

"What's wrong? Can't I come?"

Seeing Ailin's surprised expression, Mary was very happy.

She put her hands on her hips, and her big eyes looked like crescent moons when she smiled, reflecting the stars in the sky.

If Ms. Vera hadn't been walking in front, she would have even wanted to run over and take a closer look at the little demon hunter she hadn't seen for a long time.

"That's not..." Aylin hesitated, "But you...why do you carry so many things?"

Yes.

Ms. Vera was the same as usual.

Elegant and beautiful.

But Mary's overall look is very strange.

Panting, face flushed...

Not only was she carrying a large leather bag across her body, but she was also carrying a backpack of a different style on her back, and...

A pot...

"Don't worry about it!"

Mary's face suddenly turned from sunny to cloudy, and then cloudy and drizzle.

Is it easy for her to find an excuse to come out?

It was just a matter of carrying a lot of things, but I didn't expect that Ms. Vera's portal opened at Vergen's door.

She was a noble sorceress carrying a lot of materials and a pot.

It took nearly half an hour to walk here.

Fortunately, it's night now.

Otherwise, the legendary sorceress of her generation would lose all face.

"Mary was very worried about you. As soon as she heard that you were attacked by Ben Ad's wizard again, she begged me to come with you."

The sorceress crossed her arms and explained with a smile.

"Ms. Vera, I'm not worried about him. I'm just...just here to learn the potion formula."

Mary's face turned red and she slapped the crucible behind her with her left hand, making a "bang bang" sound, forcing herself to quibble.

"Okay, okay."

The sorceress pushed her temple hair behind her ears, and stood aside and looked at her with a smile without saying anything.

This explanation is worse than no explanation at all.

Most of the potions mentioned in The Teaser can only be taken by a witcher's constitution.

Is it normal for a sorceress to have to follow her in the middle of the night to learn these "worthless" recipes for powerful people and wizards?

Mary thought of this too.

A charming face suddenly turned redder, almost the same color as the flames of the bonfire that were about to go out.

Ailin was still very moved when he heard this.

"The matter of the new potion is not urgent. The two wizards of Ben Ad are on the ground."

He stepped forward, changed the topic, and removed Mary's backpack and cauldron.

"Thank you." Mary said softly, blushing.

"You're welcome."

Aylin looked at the girl's big eyes flashing under the firelight, and suddenly felt a little funny.

You came here to help me.

Even if he learns the magic potion recipe, he is still working for the demon hunting corps.

What's there to be thankful for?

Vesemir stood aside with his arms folded and nodded slightly to the sorceress.

With a smile on his face, he watched with pleasure and interest as Aylin helped Mary unload one burden after another, without any intention of going up to help.

He felt that the scene before him was more interesting than all the dramas he had seen in the past put together.

…

About half an hour later.

"Ben Ade will know about it sooner or later. As long as the list of captured apprentices is paired, the two wizard apprentices can be located."

"You've passed through so many places along the way, it's impossible not to leave traces behind."

The sorceress looked coldly at the two unconscious wizards on the ground and analyzed:

"But don't worry about it for now."

"They are in a lot of trouble now. Not only are the nobles of Kaedwen looking for trouble with them, but the sorceresses are also curious about what happened that day."

"Tishaia, the principal of Arethusa, and several senior sorceresses, are now visiting Ban Ad."

"So they may not necessarily be able to get someone in time to investigate the matter carefully."

"After I clean up all traces of magic here, even if they suspect it, there will be no evidence that you caught these two people."

"after all……"

"Ban Ade has offended many people, so now there are many people who are adding insult to injury."

"They don't dare to mess with you directly when they're not sure."

Vesemir and Aylin nodded, feeling relieved.

But they also know it in their hearts.

Even if this matter is never discovered, sooner or later the Wolf School will confront Ben Ad.

So although the situation is good now, we certainly cannot relax.

"As for the second mutation you mentioned..."

Vera looked at Aylin hesitantly:

"I can try, but wizards like Thomas Morew value the memories in their heads."

"To be honest, I'm not sure."

Ailin was a little disappointed when he heard this.

But in the end, this is just a gamble.

and.

Thomas Moreu should have a secondary mutation laboratory.

I just don’t know if it’s in the Valley of Nine in Toussaint like in the game...

There are no instruments and research methods for secondary mutations in the laboratory.

"Let's attack both ways!" Aylin thought to himself.

After the curse is removed, you can go to Toussaint to look for it.

Coupled with Ms. Vera's memory search and torture...

In the end, if it didn't work out, I would just kill Thomas Moreu, and there would be a chance to unlock the memory of the second mutation.

He didn't believe that he couldn't get what he wanted.

"It's okay, Ms. Vera. If it doesn't work, I have other ways to get it."

Vera nodded.

"Pa~"

A snap of the fingers.

The portal appears.

Vesemir carried Thomas Moru and Macao and walked towards the portal.

After sending them to Kaer Morhen, Vesemir will come back through the portal.

Bogdan and Radek followed after bidding farewell to Aylin.

It is worth mentioning that after learning Vera's identity, not only Bogdan was in high spirits, but even Radek was also full of hope for the future.

According to his words, "This is a bloody red fox! It's no better than that Laoshi Ziban Ade!"

Although Radek didn't know it, even Vera's disciple Mary was left alone.

Next is Mary.

Although she didn't hear a word about the refining method of the new potion.

But Ms. Vera is going back, is it possible that she can still stay here?

So Mary hummed, and naively carried all the things she had carried all this way on her back, followed Radek, and was about to enter the portal.

At this time.

The sorceress suddenly grabbed her:

"Mary, what are you doing back?"
