Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"My human couple, your elf!"

Francesca was even more confused when she heard this.

She tilted her head, her petite face full of question marks.

How could they not only find a way out of here, but even know where to go to continue searching for their target in half an hour—the half hour they just woke up from a coma and a serious injury?

dream?

This was the only answer Francesca could think of.

Isn't Aelin's brain damaged by the rock troll's attack?

This was Francesca's second thought.

Looking at the confident witcher, Francesca hesitated to speak, opened and closed her mouth, her eyes kept wandering on his head, and she held back a sentence for a long time:

"Then...is there anything I need to do?"

Noticing the strange look on "Valley Daisy's" expression, Aylin knew that she didn't believe what he said.

But that's not important.

He just needs Francesca to cooperate with him, that's all.

The way the two of them get along now makes him very comfortable.

"Hold the door for me, I need to make some preparations."

Francesca was stunned for a moment, but she didn't say anything. She agreed obediently and walked out of the house.

"Squeak~"

The door is closed.

Aylin sat back on the bed...or rather on the stone platform, and then opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind.

[Experience Beads: Experience Beads*40, Small Experience Beads*1847]

After experiencing the battle three days ago, Aylin no longer dared to suppress his level for the sake of evaluation of the monster's defeat.

If in that sudden battle, one of the two-handed swords of Kun En, Alder, and Wolf School were at LV4...

Even if the two-handed sword of the Cat School, which is least good at dealing with monsters, is upgraded to LV4, the results will definitely be different.

No matter what, it could have been delayed for at least five minutes without being so embarrassed and almost being crushed to death by two rock trolls.

I remembered the image of two rock trolls that looked like hills, coming towards me with the sound of whistling wind.

He was still frightened now and couldn't help but shudder.

"Ai Lin, Ai Lin, who gave you the courage to save your strength for a small profit in this crisis-ridden world?"

Looking at the experience beads and small experience beads worth almost 50,000 experience points in the character panel, he sighed softly.

【bite! Consume experience beads*30, small experience beads*24]

[Your skill: Kun’s Seal LV3 (11/2500) has been upgraded to Kun’s Seal LV6 (0/5W)]

Every witcher's sigil is very useful, but the one Aelin uses most is definitely Quen.

After all, in the world of the Witcher, most monsters and intelligent creatures attack using physical attacks.

And in the possible battles that will follow, the effect of Quen's Seal to absorb physical damage will be very useful whether you are facing a rock troll or a Kaedwen knight.

Therefore, it is definitely right to add a lot of points to Quen's Seal.

"call!"

After relieving the pain caused by the influx of knowledge and the transformation of mutated organs, Aylin let out a sigh of relief.

I was just a little skeptical before, after all, there is no independent evidence.

After upgrading Kun's Seal to LV4 or above, he was truly sure that the upgrade effect of Kun's Seal was similar to that in the game.

Quen's Seal LV1 to LV3 is [Explosive Shield]: When Quen's shield breaks, it will push back the enemy, inflict damage, and have a chance to knock down the enemy.

The higher the level, the stronger the mysterious attribute, and the stronger the shock wave of the shield burst.

LV4 to LV6 are [Active Shield]: creating a protective shield, resisting attacks and maintaining the shield require magic power. Damage absorbed by the shield is automatically converted into a passive shield on the user.

But the difference from the game is:

In addition to consuming vitality instead of consuming magic power, the damage absorbed by the shield in the game can restore the user's health.

In reality, it is converted into a passive shield, which is equivalent to converting the damage received by the active shield into armor.

Thinking about how to use the new skill, Aylin stood up and activated his magic power.

After drawing an imaginary triangle with the thumb and index finger of his right hand in front of him, he did not take it back as usual, but continued to maintain a wonderful communication with the released magic power.

"Buzz~"

moment.

A pale golden spherical shield appeared.

"Hmm... With the LV6 level Quen Sigil, after the shield structure is optimized, maintaining the active shield no longer requires consuming magic power..."

"When using active shield, because mental power and magic power need to continuously communicate, it is difficult to attack at the same time."

"But the structure and thickness..."

Aylin closed his eyes and felt the magical structure of the active shield with his mind:

"The defense strength is at least three times that of an ordinary Quen shield!"

"Very strong! The advantages and disadvantages are very obvious."

Thinking of the stone with magical impact thrown by Shan Shitou three days ago.

If you had this skill at that time.

Even if the active shield cannot withstand the impact of magic, the magic wrapped in the stone alone will certainly not be able to penetrate such a long gap between the active shield and the user and harm Aylin.

And in that case, the disadvantage of the active shield being unable to attack almost disappears.

"As I judged, if this skill had been upgraded before yesterday, it would have been impossible to be in such a mess!"

After secretly cursing himself for being stupid again, Aylin opened the Demon Hunting Notes again.

Now there are 10 experience beads and 1823 small experience beads left.

[Ding! Consuming 10 experience beads and 1500 small experience beads]

[Your skill: Wolf School Two-handed Sword LV3 (7/2500) has been upgraded to Wolf School Two-handed Sword LV5 (0/2W)]

[Your skill: Cat School Two-handed Sword LV3 (0/2500) has been upgraded to Cat School Two-handed Sword LV5 (0/2W)]

[Ding! Your level has been upgraded to level 35, and you have gained 1 special skill point]

While absorbing a large amount of memory, Ailin's body is constantly changing.

Becoming more coordinated, more flexible, and easier to burst out the hidden power in the body.

"Hu~"

After the soreness all over his body stopped, Ailin exhaled again and thought about the improvement brought by these two skills.

The Wolf School Two-handed Sword improves the control of the muscles and bones of the whole body. In the terminology of the game, the power utilization rate has increased by 30%.

And he has also mastered a sword skill - Spinning Slash.

That is, after the body rotates twice, it strikes with a sword at a faster speed and with greater force.

The core of this skill is not how to accumulate the potential energy of rotation, but how to predict the monster's attack method while rotating, so as to kill with one blow.

The two-handed sword of the cat school increases the flexibility and stability of the body by 30%.

There is also a sword skill - wrist stab.

This move is exactly the sword skill used by Brett, the demon hunter of the cat school, who almost killed Ailin.

Sacrificing the power of the long sword stabbing, using the clever shaking of the wrist, controlling the long sword to suddenly change direction and stab the target's heart.

If it weren't for the ten points of elemental affinity that hindered Brett's stabbing of the long sword, Ailin might have died on the spot.

So he was deeply impressed by this skill.

After the skill upgrade was completed, there were only 323 small experience beads left in the inventory.

Ailin thought for a few seconds.

[Ding! Consume small experience beads * 100]

[Your skill: Igni Seal LV2 (0/500) has been upgraded to Igni Seal LV3 (0/2500)]

[Your skill: Alder Seal LV2 (0/500) has been upgraded to Alder Seal LV3 (0/2500)]

[Ding! Your level has been upgraded to level 40, and you have obtained 1 special skill point]

In a moment, the memory transfer and body transformation are completed.

After the Igni Seal is upgraded, the temperature of the flame released is higher.

The effective range of the Alder Seal's telekinetic impact is directly expanded by three meters.

At this point, all skills have been upgraded.

[Name: Ailin]

[Level: 40]

[Ritual: Flesh Giant]

[Experience Beads: Small Experience Beads*223]

[Evaluation: Demon Hunter Newbie! 】

"Only 223 small experience beads are left. Now I am really penniless!"

After opening the personal panel, Ailin noticed his rapidly shrinking wealth at a glance and couldn't help but sigh.

Fortunately, the legion was unlocked, and the rewards for hunting low-level monsters with Xius and others would not be reduced too much, otherwise he might not be able to be cruel.

Move your sight upward.

Special skills are different from ordinary skills. Basically, you don't need time to adapt, at least the demon hunting directly related to combat does not need it. You can upgrade it at any time.

So the special skill points are reserved for the time being.

"After upgrading so many skills, the evaluation still hasn't changed..." When he saw the bottom, Ailin couldn't help complaining, "I don't know what the evaluation criteria are?"

After reviewing the character panel, Ailin turned back and glanced at it, and a full sense of accomplishment arose spontaneously.

In less than half a year since he came to this world, his strength has improved by leaps and bounds.

"But it's not enough... far from enough."

"I need to be stronger, not only in my personal strength, but also in the legion, the school, the allies..."

"Otherwise..."

Alin sighed.

Then he took back the demon hunting notebook with his mind and stood up and walked towards the door.

"Squeak~"

The simple wooden door was pushed open.

"Alin, are you ready..."

The quiet female voice paused halfway through her words.

What's going on...Francesca looked at the demon hunter who seemed to be no different from a few minutes ago, feeling a little surprised and doubtful.

The first time she saw Alin, she felt a chill in her spine, as if she was being stared at by a ferocious beast.

"What's wrong?" Alin asked back.

The moment the demon hunter opened his mouth, the sense of threat of being stared at by the natural enemy seemed to be an illusion, and suddenly disappeared.

"Nothing... nothing," Francesca touched her dark golden hair subconsciously, looked inside the house, and asked curiously, "What were you preparing just now?"

"Prepare some measures to leave this orchard and find our target." Ailin perfunctorily said, "Let's go, let's find the exit first!"

Exit?

And this inexplicable sense of threat...

Is everything he just said true?

Has he really found a way to leave and their target?

Francesca looked at Ailin in surprise, and subconsciously followed him to the door of the herbal medicine shop.

"You are... Hey... Aren't you the seriously injured brother of that little girl? Is your injury healed?"

Aierlin looked in the direction of the voice.

A middle-aged man in gray linen clothes was standing behind the counter, sorting out the herbs.

Aierlin couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.

He knew this man, the owner of the shop where he bought the ghost oil herbs a few days ago.

But the owner of the herbal medicine shop obviously didn't recognize Ailin. In his eyes, Ailin was Francesca's seriously injured brother.

"Of course he can't recognize him..."

Ailin sighed in his heart.

From the perspective of the mirage, there was no herbal medicine shop here at all, only stones of varying sizes scattered on the ground.

Where the herbal medicine shop owner was, there stood a half-human-high stalagmite, overlapping with his right leg and revealing a layer of gray stone skin.

It was like a small bug in this world.

This made Ailin feel a sense of familiarity.

"Asha's medical skills are superb," ​​Francesca hurried over to answer, and then glanced at Ailin, "My... my brother can already walk on the ground."

"Ah? Is Asha's level that good? Your brother is not..." The herbal medicine shop owner scratched his head and glanced at Ailin in confusion.

However,

Perhaps because Ailin was already standing in front of him, he did not dwell on it for too long:

"You are so lucky. If you were in other places, you would not meet such a good herbalist, and a kind and generous lord who is willing to provide a place for stranded travelers."

The owner of the herbal medicine shop, who was created by the illusion in front of him, seemed like a real person. His every move and every response were natural and harmonious, and no one could find anything unusual.

No!

There is something unusual!

Ailin glanced at Francesca's pointed ears and exquisite and inhuman appearance, and then glanced at the owner of the herbal medicine shop who looked normal.

Ailin and Francesca were the biggest anomalies.

If the owner of the herbal medicine shop and Aunt Asha were normal people, how could they not notice that Francesca and Ailin looked different from humans, and even believe that he, a demon hunter with cat eyes, and an elf were siblings.

From this perspective, Francesca's thinking should also be affected by the illusion.

Or is she just too naive?

Otherwise, how could she come up with this excuse?

"Let's go, we still have things to do." Ailin patted Francesca's shoulder.

"Valley Daisy" was stunned.

She suddenly realized that Ailin had not said a word to the owner of the herbal medicine shop.

"You still have things to do, so hurry up and get busy... But after all, you have just healed your injuries, you still have to persuade your brother to rest more..."

"Got it, Uncle Will."

The two left with the nagging instructions of the herbal medicine shop owner.

"Ai... Ailin, why don't you say a word to Uncle Will, at least... at least say thank you... The medicines you changed these days were all sent by Uncle Will and Aunt Asha..."

Uncle Will, Aunt Asha...

It always feels a bit strange to hear these words from an elf princess.

But Ailin didn't delve into it.

He just nodded and led her around the herbal medicine shop, and after two circles.

On the south side of the "Hundred Fruit Garden", he stopped by a wide river.

Francesca looked at the demon hunter who suddenly stopped and asked curiously, "What's wrong, Alin?"

"We're here."
