Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

After using the heart essence of the great griffin with his mind.

The cold liquid entered his throat and was absorbed the moment it passed through his esophagus.

The cool touch instantly spread from his throat to his whole body.

Then the next second.

Ailin flew up!

"No, it can't be considered flying..."

Ailin closed his eyes and carefully felt the changes in his body as the heart essence penetrated his body.

"This... is more like floating, something offsets the gravity of my body..."

But before he could feel it again, he felt more and more pressure on the soles of his feet.

The heart essence of the great griffin was absorbed by his body, and he landed.

"If only I could have more time..."

Ailin sighed softly, feeling lost.

He felt that he seemed to have realized something, but it was still a little short of being formed.

"I have to find the whereabouts of the great griffin when I have a chance." Ailin thought to himself.

Then.

He began to feel the changes in his body.

As soon as he moved.

"Crackle~Crackle~Crackle~"

The bones crackle with the movement of the limbs, and every cell in the body feels more comfortable than ever before.

Even the pores are breathing.

Not only that.

The fatigue of a hard day's work is gone, and the brain is clearer than ever before.

Under the flickering candlelight.

Dust dances in the air.

In the garden, spring insects are turning over the soil, and squirrels are grinding their teeth in deep sleep.

The main attribute enhanced by the heart essence of the great griffin must be perception!

Alin understood in his heart.

He opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind.

[Name: Ailin]

[Age: 14]

[Title: Son of Miracle]

[Level: 45]

[Health: 100%, Stamina 550/550, Magic 570/570]

[Attributes: Strength 48 (+6), Agility 42 (+5), Constitution 55 (+8), Perception 47 (+12), Mystic 57 (+4)]

[Affinity: Water 11 (Magic Source·Water 1%), Earth 5, Wind 5 (+5), Space 2]

Wow!

As expected!

Perception increased by 12 points, which is the attribute that increased the most.

The total attribute even increased by 35 points!

What surprised Ailin even more was the affinity.

As soon as the newly added wind attribute affinity appeared in the list, it directly surpassed the space attribute and was tied with the earth attribute affinity.

Now.

Of the four basic elements of chaos magic, earth, fire, wind, and water, he only lacked fire affinity.

But to be honest, the fire attribute is the most violent and difficult to control among the chaotic elements.

Therefore, there are fewer monsters with fire attributes in the world.

It may be difficult to increase the affinity with fire...

But the total affinity is 23 points...

Close your eyes and connect the wolf emblem.

Under introspection, Ailin's bones are now shining with colorful magic glow.

From time to time, light blue light spots also flow through the muscles, blending with strands of red meat.

"I really look more and more like a monster!"

Ailin opened his eyes and sighed.

...

Early morning.

Accompanied by the pleasant sound of birds, Ailin woke up from meditation.

"Squeak~"

When Ailin opened the door of the room, Vesemir's door happened to be opened.

This is not an accident, it is the result of training.

The meditation of a demon hunter can be timed, and the accuracy will become higher and higher with daily application.

It is comparable to a clock.

Of course.

In this magical medieval world where there is no need to go to work, this point is generally of no use to demon hunters.

Vesemir quietly closed the door, looked at Aylin with satisfaction, and suddenly froze.

He frowned slightly and walked closer, asking hesitantly:

"Aylin... have you... have you changed?"

"I feel like you seem... seem to be different..."

Demon hunters have sharp perceptions.

Whether it is the smell, body shape, or the vague and inexplicable momentum, they are all different from yesterday.

Aylin has become stronger.

Vesemir believes in his intuition, but reason tells him that it is impossible to change so drastically overnight.

Aylin smiled and said:

"After the battle with the great griffin, I have some insights..."

What kind of insights can be so strong?

Vesemir is a little skeptical.

But this is a good thing. Seeing that Aylin does not want to explain, Vesemir chooses to respect his privacy.

He glanced at the closed door by the window and changed the subject:

"Is Mary still awake?"

"No," Arlin said as he walked towards the bathroom with his change of clothes, "I went to bed late yesterday while preparing the potion..."

Vesemir nodded:

"Then let her sleep a little longer, and we'll set off when she wakes up."

"Royce and Yennefer are still sleeping..."

After a pause, Vesemir asked curiously:

"Arlin, do you really think Yennefer has the talent of a warlock?"

Arlin just opened the bathroom door and tilted his head to say:

"She should have, and I have a feeling that her talent may not be bad."

"That's a big profit..."

After Vesemir sighed, he saw Arlin still standing at the bathroom door, so he waved his hand:

"Okay, go take a shower."

Arlin nodded slightly, and was about to close the door when he suddenly thought of something.

With a thought, he gave Vesemir an appraisal.

[Name: Vesemir]

[Attributes: Strength 53 (+7), Agility 57, Constitution 69 (+4), Perception 70, Mystery 42 (+1)]

As expected of Vesemir.

Compared to when Aelin first crossed over.

In addition to the increase of seven points of strength and four points of constitution due to the water ghost's heart essence and the ghoul's heart essence, the mysterious attributes actually increased a bit in less than half a year.

but.

Although now except for the mysterious attribute, he is worse than Vesemir in strength, agility, constitution and perception.

But the gap is no longer as big as it was at the beginning.

Especially strength. If it weren't for the heart essence of water ghosts and ghouls, Aelin's strength attribute would have surpassed Vesemir.

"Set a small goal first, surpass Vesemir in attributes!"

Aylin raised the corners of his mouth slightly, glanced at Vesemir's back, and closed the bathroom door.

Three hours later.

The entrance of the hotel.

"Master Vesemir, Master Aylin, are you... leaving now?"

The hotel owner Yakub looked at the three people who took the horses out of the reins in surprise, and asked with some worry:

“Is there something we didn’t do well in our store?”

"We are very satisfied here," Vesemir smiled and shook his head, "I haven't stayed in such a comfortable hotel for a long time, but we still have important things to do, so we can't stay here and continue to enjoy it."

Yakub's face turned pale and he was about to speak.

At this time.

"Da da da~"

Trick rode up from a short distance away.

"Master Aelin, Master Vesemir, and Ms. Margarita, are you ready to leave?"

Trick dismounted and looked at Aylin with a smile.

His expression was obviously much more relaxed than yesterday, probably because Green's sigh had an effect.

Because Trik was looking at Aylin, Vesemir didn't rush to reply.

Aylin nodded and said:

"Yes, get ready to leave Vengerberg now!"

"Then I'll give it to you!" Trick said.

Then, without waiting for Aylin and the others to refuse, they took the lead and walked towards the city gate.

After Vesemir and Aylin looked at each other, they could only nod to Yakub, and then followed.

Yakub smiled gently and respectfully sent them off.

But when the figures gradually faded away, he frowned slightly and murmured:

"Looking at how they looked yesterday, it didn't look like there was anything important..."

"Why are you leaving so quickly today?"

…

I didn’t even notice it when I first entered Vengerberg yesterday.

As he rode horseback and walked on the street today, Aylin could clearly feel that there were a lot more vigilant glances coming from along the way.

The focus of these sights is basically on the two swords behind his back.

in addition.

There seemed to be a lot more guards patrolling the streets than yesterday.

And from time to time, a mercenary with weapons would be caught on the street, and many people would be taken away in a daze.

There were even many city guards who wanted to come up and question them when they saw Aylin and Vesemir...

But these soldiers, who were wearing simple leather armor and holding a spear in their hands, saluted hurriedly when they saw Trik, who was wearing mighty armor inlaid with gold.

Then ignored them.

Seeing Aylin and Vesemir's serious expressions, Trick explained in a low voice:

"Last night, the king ordered the entire city to be put under martial law."

"He also secretly asked the city guards to find excuses to imprison all the mercenary warriors who were wandering on the street and carrying weapons..."

"Of course, those without background..."

"When the war begins, they will fight on the front line of the battlefield for Aedirn!"

"So..." Vesemir joked, "We are just those mercenary warriors with backgrounds?"

"No!" Trick smiled, looked at Aylin gratefully, and said, "You are my friends, the most cherished friends of the Quinn family."

Trick's tone was sincere, so serious that Vesemir, who had just made a joke, was a little embarrassed.

"Is your father feeling better?"

Aelin helped Vesemir change the subject.

Trick nodded vigorously and said with a smile:

"As expected of a bloody red fox, as soon as Old Quinn drank the green sigh and coughed up a pool of blood, his pale face immediately turned rosy."

"You can even do morning exercises with me this morning..."

"That's good!" Aylin nodded.

He is still willing to do things like adult beauty.

What's more, he still has two bottles of Green Sigh, and not only did Trick buy it at a high price, he also owed Aylin a big favor.

Although Trick's family background was not asked.

But he can sit on the position of deputy leader of the Royal Knights. His family is also an earl, and he has a close relationship with the king, so he can know a lot of inside information.

Look, isn’t this useful now?

certainly.

As Aelin and Vesemir are master witchers, even if they are caught by the city guards, they will not be driven to the battlefield like those mercenary warriors with no background.

Even ordinary witchers are not treated like this.

Unless the king of Aedirn is crazy and doesn't care about the royal family and his own honor.

but.

even so.

With Trick leading the way, Aylin and his party can avoid a lot of trouble.

and.

Although Aden will not force you to go to the battlefield, given the current situation, it is estimated that they will not let them leave Venger Castle easily.

At this time.

Passing by a pub.

Another drunk mercenary was caught.

"However, do you really dare to use soldiers who have been captured by strong men like this?"

Mary asked curiously.

Trick was silent for a few seconds and sighed:

"There's no way around it."

"The current king has been at war with Kaedwen's Big Eater for five years after he succeeded him..."

"Although the intensity is not high, Aedirn is a small area and its population cannot keep up with Kaedwen..."

"so……"

"Even if we know there are risks, we have to do it..."

"Have you never thought about not starting a war?" Vesemir interjected as if unintentionally.

"That's impossible!" Trick said with anger surging in his eyes.

"The late king died on the battlefield due to stray arrows."

"My father suffered a hidden injury because of Kaedwen. If it weren't for Master Arryn, he wouldn't be able to live or die now."

"My two brothers are not even as good as my father..."

"They all died on the battlefield."

"And it's not just the king and our family..."

"Because of Haxor, countless descendants of Aedirn's nobles died..."

"Such hatred can only be washed away with the blood of the enemy!"

Vesemy heard the anger in Trik's words.

It seemed as if I also heard the sound of horns emanating from the entire Vengerberg Castle...

So he said nothing more.

He knows...

No one can stop this war.

…

He rode to the city gate.

There is already a long queue here. There are merchants with a keen sense of smell, farmers going to and from the city to sell crops, and even some beautifully decorated carriages with family crests...

The soldiers at the city gate checked extremely strictly, and nobility with a lower title could not pass.

but.

With Trik's negotiation, Vesemir and his party were let out without even waiting for a few minutes under the envious eyes of everyone.

Next.

After Aylin refused, Trick sent the group to the outskirts and stopped only when they could only vaguely see the majestic Vengerburg.

"I'll send it here, Master Aylin!"

Trick looked at the sparsely populated avenue and nodded to Aelin, Vesemir and Mary.

"Thank you very much. If it weren't for you, we would have been arrested and thrown into prison before we even reached the gate of Vengerberg!"

Aylin said politely.

Trick smiled, pointed to the shield-shaped family crest with fleur-de-lis and sword on his chest, and said solemnly:

"Loyalty is the motto of the Quinn family, whether to the master or to friends..."

"May Cliff guide your path."

Say it.

Trick pulled the reins and was about to ride towards Vengerberg.

"etc!"

Trick turned back and asked curiously:

"What's wrong, Master Aylin, is there anything else I can help you with?"

"Ding ding ding~"

Amidst the clatter of bottles, Aylin took out five bottles of water ghost's heart essence from his saddle bag and gave them to Trick.

"This is for you. Drink it to improve your physique and strength..."

"at last……"

"Stay alive, Trick!"

Trick was stunned for a moment and instinctively took the blue potion.

After two seconds, he nodded vigorously:

"War cannot kill me, Master Arryn!"

"When we meet next time, I will definitely take you to try the wine brewed in our family vineyard..."

"That's no worse than Toussaint's wine!"
