Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Start from Ben Ad, avoid Ad Kalai, and then go to Fengjian...Vangerburg..." Vesemir drew a line on the map with his finger, "Finally, pass through the floating port and arrive at Elland... …”

"Is this route okay?"

Neither Radke nor Bogdan had any objections.

However, they did not nod in response, because the master witcher was not asking them.

Vesemir looked at the young demon hunter named Aelin.

Radek and Bogdan looked at each other.

If Bogdan remembers correctly, given Aylin's age, Vesemir should be Aylin's traveling trial mentor.

Why did he ask his apprentice for advice on such a matter of arranging the route?

The two wizard apprentices of Ad Kalai, who came from a place where "apprentices are slaves to their mentors", found it a bit difficult to understand.

but.

Then I thought of Aylin's performance in the fighting competition...

Easily suppressing three madmen of the Cat School who were obviously drugged, moving freely among the water ghosts, and the powerful ability to hunt two large monsters alone...

The two wizard apprentices felt that this seemed to be a matter of course.

If they had such strength, they would definitely respect them so much if they could just find any wizard as their mentor.

pity……

Their grades and talents are so poor that no teacher is willing to take them.

"Eh~"

Sighing sadly at the same time, Radek and Bogdan looked at Aylin with envy and admiration.

Aylin, who didn't know the intricate inner drama of the wizard apprentice, looked away from the hand-drawn map.

Vesemir is old enough to have arranged the best route.

Even if we had to take a detour to Vengerburg to see off two wizard apprentices, it would only be three or four days longer than going straight to Elland.

Vesemir has a lot of debts, so he can earn as much as he can!

There is no rush these days.

And Vengerberg…

The sorceress Yennefer in the original novel is from Vangerburg.

I just don’t know if anyone was born at this time.

"I have no objection, let's just arrange it this way."

Aelin nodded and looked at Vesemir.

Vesemir always felt that Aylin's eyes were a bit uncomfortable, but with outsiders here, there was no way to study it carefully.

Carefully roll up the map and place it in your backpack.

Seeing that the three of them had finished their lunch, Vesemir stood up:

"This is already the second day after the king's death. Take the time to pack your bags. We will set off now."

"It's best to leave Kaedwen before the Ad Kalai Royal City reacts!"

…

Ban Ade Academy.

The basement of Jaynes' Tower.

"Is this the gem?"

Hen Gedimidis held up a spherical blue gem.

"Yes, Dean."

"This is the fragment of the Ad Geis Gate that Vice Dean Jaynes has been studying."

A boy who looked to be no more than fourteen or fifteen years old stood cautiously next to Henry Gedimidis.

Seeing that the dean had been looking at the gems without speaking, he paused for a few seconds and then said:

"The reason why Dean Jaynes cooperates with the king is to obtain another fragment of the Gate of Ad Geis..."

"Did he get it?" A wizard behind Hen Gedimidis looked at the boy.

The boy shook his head slightly:

"Failed!"

"It is said that two elves infiltrated the owner of the fragment of the Gate of Ad Ges and rescued her through the portal."

"Although the king's soldiers have been looking for it since then, but..."

"Stupid Jaynes!" the wizard spat.

The boy lowered his head and did not dare to speak.

He is Jaynes' apprentice.

In other words, he is also Jaynes' slave.

But compared to other famous wizards, Jaynes is already a good mentor.

At least Jaynes, who was obsessed with the intersection of heaven and earth, usually let him do odd jobs and dissect monsters.

Unlike those wizards who are obsessed with human body modification and genetic mutation, even the bodies of close apprentices cannot escape experimentation and modification.

Too bad Jaynes is dead now.

He needs to find another mentor.

"The experiment report says that Jaynes has not discovered a way to stabilize the intersection of the celestial sphere?" Henry Gedimidis asked.

"Yes." The boy knew everything.

I hope to leave a good impression on the dean and assign him a better tutor.

"But he seems to have succeeded once, summoning a large monster, the Water Ghost King..." A wizard with a goatee added.

"King of Water Ghosts?" The wizard next to Henry Gedimidis was confused. He had never heard of this monster's name.

The boy immediately spoke:

"It's the one with blue skin and red fins... that appeared in the arena... the one that first appeared with the water ghost..."

"I was responsible for feeding the monster before, and the deputy dean also made some changes to the monster..."

"The intersection of the heaven and the earth is really the work of Jaynes!"

The wizard interrupted the boy and turned his head to look at Hen Gedimidis.

The result is obvious.

Although I don’t know why Jaynes would be stupid enough to kill himself.

But there is no precedent for a spell going out of control.

and.

Since he has successfully used the Celestial Sphere Conjunction once.

Among the five large monsters that appeared in the arena, three more were of the same species as the Water Ghost King he had summoned.

Two other snake-tailed monsters appeared at the same time as a water ghost king.

No matter how you think about it, the blame for Haxor's sudden death belongs to Jaynes.

certainly……

Now it's Ben Ade's.

Henry Gedimidis played with the blue gem, not knowing what he was thinking.

The wizards surrounding Hen Gedimidis kept silent, not daring to disturb the dean's thinking.

The entire basement fell silent instantly.

"But...maybe not..."

The boy's weak voice sounded, breaking the calm.

Attracting the attention of all wizards present.

Being watched by so many famous wizards, the boy trembled all over.

But for my own life and future.

He still bit the bullet and revealed Jaynes' secret:

"Actually, the successful celestial convergence in the experimental report was not the result of the vice president's experiment..."

At this time, even Hen Gedimidis was attracted by his words and looked down at the trembling wizard apprentice.

The boy suppressed the fear of betraying his former mentor and continued:

"That was done by the elf who was imprisoned in the cage. She... uh... 'told' us the name of the Gate Fragment of Ad Ges..."

"She sacrificed her life in this basement while the vice-dean wasn't paying attention, opened the channel for the intersection of heaven and earth, and wanted to kill all the humans in the basement..."

"If the Water Ghost King who was teleported wasn't in a bad state, maybe she would have succeeded."

Hen Gedimidis pondered his apprentice's words.

No one asked Jaynes why there was an elf trapped in his basement.

Not to mention non-human creatures such as elves and dwarves, even humans are still consumables for wizards' experiments.

Nothing surprising.

No one asked Jaynes why he lied.

He is said to have initiated the successful conjunction of the heavens and the spheres.

Replace yourself with the wizard here.

They would all do the same, otherwise where would the funds for experimental research come from?

"So you think the intersection of the heavenly spheres and those monsters in the arena have nothing to do with Jaynes, are you sure?" A wizard looked at the boy seriously with a straight face.

The boy stopped talking and was so frightened that his whole body trembled.

How dare he make such a judgment.

How qualified is he to make a judgment?

You must know that the person who died in the arena was not an ordinary person, not even an ordinary noble. It was the owner of the largest country in the northern continent, the king of Kaedwen.

You don’t need to think about it to know how big this responsibility is.

"Don't be afraid!" Henry Gedimidis gently touched the boy's head, "Speak your mind and no one will blame you."

The warmth coming from the palm of his head instantly calmed the boy down.

He secretly glanced at Hen Gedimidis, and after seeing his gentle smile, he took a deep breath and said:

"I...I don't think the vice dean did it."

"The first water ghost king was teleported from this high tower. If the vice-dean really has the ability to use the celestial sphere to converge at any time, why bother..."

"and……"

"He didn't even have the pieces of the Gate of Ad Ghaith with him that day."

The boy finished speaking in one breath, lowering his head and panting slightly.

The other wizards in the basement looked at each other.

The goatee wizard touched his beard and said hesitantly:

"But...but if it wasn't Jaynes who did it, who would have caused this celestial and spherical intersection?"

"Elves..." A young-looking wizard murmured.

The goatee wizard asked: "What's wrong? What did you think of?"

"Um...more than half a month ago, a few elves escaped from the prison in the city. Could it be them?" the young wizard replied.

"Didn't this apprentice say that elves understand the intersection of the celestial sphere?"

"No! No!"

Before anyone else could refute, the young wizard denied himself.

Such an accurate intersection of the celestial spheres in the arena must not be possible outside Ben A'ad Academy.

The king was there that day, and both the academy gate and the arena were inspected very strictly.

Not even a mouse can get in, let alone an elf with obvious features.

but……

If you consider people who are not wizards and kings in the arena...

"Could...could he be a witcher?"

The young wizard raised another possibility.

"We all know the king's purpose in holding the game this time."

"Hakthoe is dead. The Wolf School will benefit the most, and it will also hinder our hands and feet..."

The young wizard's thinking was very clear, but none of the other wizards showed their approval.

"Stop it, Sonny."

The old wizard with a goatee interrupted and said:

"I know that many wizards hate the wolf school, and I also know that you want to join the Society of Talents and Skills."

"But the possibility of the celestial sphere converging with the witcher..."

"It's even more outrageous than the escape from the academy, the countless overt and covert inspections, and the sneaking into the arena..."

"It's just an insult to our intelligence."

"How could those demon hunters know such advanced magic?"

"As we all know, they only know some simple tricks called 'signs'..."

"Even the gryphon that specializes in seals is only more powerful and has more changes, let alone a wolf!"

The goateeed wizard seemed to have a high status, and the young wizard known as Sunny did not argue.

After coming back to his senses, he seemed to feel that his idea was a bit outrageous. After a smile, he said:

"It's just a guess, it's just a guess."

Next, many wizards discussed and argued about various possibilities in the basement...

If Henry Gedimidis hadn't been here, perhaps they would have used the staff in their hands to increase the persuasiveness of their judgment.

"alright!"

Henry Gedimidis spoke up, and the basement fell silent for an instant.

then.

Hen Gedimidis glanced at the wizards around him.

"Sunny, take a few people to check the whereabouts of the elves!"

"Yes, Dean."

"Faruk!" Henry Gedimidis turned his head and looked at another wizard standing on the edge, "You have dealt with the witchers of the Wolf School, check where they are now, if they are still in Ban... Ade, just invite them back!”

"Although the suspicion of the Wolf School is very small, it doesn't take long to read the mind!"

"Go now!"

"Yes, Dean!"

Sunny and Farouk left with a few wizards.

In the basement, only Henry Gedimidis, the old wizard with the goatee, and Jaynes' apprentice were left.

After Hen Gedimidis put the blue gem in his hand back to its place, he also planned to leave.

He has his own projects and has little interest in the celestial intersection.

At this time.

He noticed the boy standing alone next to him, read the fear in his mind, felt soft, and asked:

"What's your name?"

"Qi...Zi Ke, Dean, my name is Qi Ke." The boy looked up blankly.

"Jaynes is dead, do you want to follow me in the future? Or...are there other options?"

Henry Gedimidis showed a gentle smile, squatted down and asked softly.

When the boy heard what Henry Gedimidis said, he nodded excitedly:

"No, no, no... there is no other choice."

Seeing this, Henry Gedimidis smiled softly:

"Okay, pack all your things and come find me in my office."

"Yes, Dean!"

Zeco left the basement with excitement on his face.

"Lucky apprentice!" The goatee wizard looked at Ziko's leaving figure and couldn't help but sigh.

After the basement door was closed, the goatee wizard looked away and whispered:

"Dean, what Zico said may not be true."

"I think it's most likely that Jaynes' spell is out of control. Do you need me... to ask him..."

What about the corpse?

Naturally, Hen Gedimidis would not ask such a weak question.

However, necromancy, a ritual that summons evil spirits and desecrates corpses and souls, is expressly prohibited by the members of the Talents and Skills Association headed by him.

"Jaynes made a big mistake, Dean." Seeing Hen Gedimidis hesitate, the goatee wizard advised, "He put the academy, all wizards, and even all wizards in danger. middle……"

Witchers are being ostracized by humans.

So are the wizards who often use humans as experimental materials.

It's just that they have close relations with the nobles of various countries, so they keep everything hidden.

But this time.

The king died in Ben Ad, and although there were excuses to pass it off, no one among the nobles would really believe it.

therefore.

Ben Ad's potential enemies are not limited to Ad Kalai's royal family...

The toll of the King's death is simply incalculable.

Henry Gedimidis lowered his head and pondered, thinking for a long time before sighing and nodding.

The goatee wizard also breathed a sigh of relief.

When he saw the tired look on Henry Gedimidis's face, he felt a little distressed and comforted him:

"Mentor, Jaynes will understand us!"

Hearing the long-lost address, Henry Gedimidis showed a kind smile and patted the goatee wizard on the shoulder:

"I'm fine, Nando."

"Right!"

Henry Gedimidis remembered something, and a piece of parchment suddenly appeared in his hand.

"Nando, if Jaynes is innocent..."

"You send people to 'invite' these wizards and apprentices who left without saying goodbye."

"Whatever it takes!"

"If there is resistance, life or death will be an issue!"

"Compared to elves and wizards, these 'own people' are the most suspect!"

"Yes, Dean!" The goatee wizard nodded solemnly.

He took the parchment and glanced at it.

The names Bogdan and Radek jumped out of the page!
