Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Wow~"

The boat is not very fast in the water.

The air is filled with the light mist of early morning, turning into a thin veil to set off the wild forests with emerald green and dark green on both sides of the Pontal River.

In the merchant ship, Mary was a little flustered when she was suddenly questioned.

After she glanced at the increasingly handsome young man, she hurriedly turned her head to look out the window.

"Yoyo~"

The distant sound of deer calls came from the deepest part of the forest.

Ethereal and blurry.

It also made Mary's restless heart relax a little.

She turned back again, looked at the young demon hunter who frowned slightly, and asked:

"Aelin, do you really want to deal with the Wild Hunt yourself?"

"Of course," the young demon hunter nodded, "When Grand Master Ivar Evil Eye comes and asks him for advice on how to deal with the Wild Hunt, I plan to start dealing with them."

"Any questions?"

really……

Mary's heart sank and she bit her red lips.

Vesemir and Aylin were not warlocks and did not understand the horror of the Wild Hunt at all.

The magic that generates bursting ice clusters can be judged from the elemental fluctuations alone. It is definitely the most advanced water element spell.

What's even more terrifying is that this magic instantly pulls away all the water elements within her sensing range, leaving nothing behind.

Even Ms. Vera is far from capable of casting such a spell instantly.

A demon hunter who can only use simple techniques like sigils may be killed without even being able to get close.

Even if you get close, there is a powerful magic shield.

After discovering that Aelin had a tendency to deal with the Wild Hunt personally, Mary, whose brain was originally occupied by compassion, instantly sobered up.

The next second, I began to regret why I had to say more, "Is there really nothing we can do?"

She thought for half the night and couldn't think of any way to deal with such a powerful enemy.

I don't believe that an ordinary demon hunter can deal with Ivar Evil Eye, who is said to be able to see the Wild Hunt.

Then.

I kept having the same nightmare for the rest of the night.

The young witcher was frozen in clusters of ice like Fulla Dolly's husband.

Blue cat eyes stared at her.

The icy cold wind keeps whistling the same sentence: "Is there really nothing we can do?"

…

"Aelin, maybe... uh... maybe..."

Mary's round face suddenly turned as pale as snow.

Thinking of last night's dream again, she was so frightened that she could not utter a complete sentence.

I don’t know why Mary suddenly became so frightened. Aylin patted her back gently and said gently:

"Take your time, don't rush, don't be afraid!"

"We are the ones who joined forces to kill the Great Griffin, what should we be afraid of?"

"Babbling." Yennefer, who was counting her fingers with Royce, calmed down and secretly looked at Aylin and Mary.

Mary felt the faint body temperature on her back, the faint aroma of tanned leather on the tip of her nose, and the sneaky glances from two pairs of eyes.

Suddenly his cheeks turned red, and he pushed Ai Lin away slightly embarrassedly.

"Don't...don't be like this...Yennefer and Royce are still here!"

Aylin:?

How about that?

I haven't done anything!

Watching the azure cat's eyes become round in surprise, it looked like the gray furry cat with blue eyes unique to the North that Mary had seen before.

She couldn't help but smile.

The fear and panic in my heart immediately dissipated a lot.

Taking a deep breath, Mary looked at the young witcher seriously and described her feelings about the ice cluster magic of the Wild Hunt to the best of her ability.

Aylin's face became more and more solemn.

From a warlock's perspective, Mary experienced the strength of the Wild Hunt in many dimensions that he could not have imagined.

Especially when all the water elements in the floating port are emptied during the process of magic release.

Even if the water element affinity reached more than ten points, he only vaguely felt something strange.

While listening to Mary's feelings, Aylin thought...

perhaps.

This is a point that can be exploited when dealing with the Wild Hunt...

"...So Aylin, do you know the strength of the Wild Hunt?" Mary took a deep breath and persuaded, "I know that mother and daughter are pitiful, but the Wild Hunt..."

She sighed:

"The Wild Hunt is really not something that humans can handle. They are different from the Great Griffin..."

Aylin felt warm in her heart when she saw Mary's eager and pleading expression:

"Don't worry, Mary."

"You know me. Unless I have to, I won't do anything I'm not sure about..."

Mary felt a little weak and said in detail:

"Old Spearhead, Ice King, Abandoned Mines, Apprentice Fighting Competition, and the Great Griffin..."

"Ai Lin, is there anything you are sure of?"

"How many other things are you really forced to do?"

"Ai Lin..." Mary stared into the blue cat eyes, as if she wanted to convey all her emotions, "It's really not worth gambling with your life for someone you don't know!"

"Ms. Vera won't agree either..."

Mary persisted, as if facing the Wild Hunt was the only way out.

certainly.

That's probably what she thought.

After thinking for two seconds, the young demon hunter no longer planned to hide anything:

"Mary, what if these wild hunts are meant for me?"

After saying this, Aylin glanced at Yennefer and Royce.

Mary snapped her fingers in tacit agreement and wrapped the two of them in a light red soundproof barrier.

As soon as the barrier was raised, Mary asked quickly:

"Why do you say the Wild Hunt is coming for you?"

After Aylin organized his language, he told Mary his information about the Wild Hunt, the Convergence of the Celestial Spheres, Ain El, etc.

Even his own relationship with the intersection of the celestial sphere is vaguely hinted at.

As Mary listened, her expression changed dramatically.

She covered her mouth and her eyes widened.

"...So Mary, this is not only revenge for Fura Dolly and his children, but also for myself."

After Aylin gave a wry smile, he made a joke and said:

"This time I really have no choice but to do it!"

At this time.

Mary had not yet recovered from the shocking news.

At one time, there was too much information.

It took her a while to understand the connection between the parts.

"Unbelievable, unbelievable..."

"Now that you say that you are the miracle child prophesied by Islini Agri, I believe it..."

Mary looked at Aylin in shock, and it took a long time to collect herself.

Aelin shrugged, noncommittal.

"There's nothing we can do about it..."

After understanding the young witcher's current situation, Mary relaxed.

Without choice, there is no need to worry about gains and losses.

Aylin also quietly breathed a sigh of relief when he saw this.

"Boo~"

The time has come for the soundproof barrier to burst like a soap bubble.

All that needed to be said had been said, and Aylin did not ask Mary to continue.

There was silence in the cabin.

for a long time.

Mary, who had her head lowered and seemed to be thinking about something, suddenly raised her head, looked firmly at the young demon hunter, and said:

"Don't worry Aylin, no matter how powerful the Wild Hunt is, I will help you!"

After hearing this, Aylin was stunned for a second and nodded vigorously.

Yennefer on the side was curious about the interaction between the two, but she didn't ask a word.

She even tried to divert her brother's attention to her fingers.

Vesemir, Aelin and Mary were all very kind to her, which was better than she had ever felt before.

They never even showed the slightest look of disgust or hatred towards this monster like her.

sometimes.

She even felt that she would not be beaten, discriminated against, or eat leftovers...

A life of having enough food and clothing every day seems like a dream.

So she cherishes her current life very much and longs for such days from the bottom of her heart to last forever!

Until forever...

…

Not long after having a heart-to-heart talk with Mary, Vesemir came back alone.

According to him, the morning was persuaded by him and Ernest.

Radu Kuhn formed a temporary alliance with them, or became a sponsor of the Wild Hunt.

After Aylin and his party disembark, the Kuhn family ship will not only transport Ernest to the free city of Novigrad.

After loading and unloading some cargo.

Radu Kuhn will be put on a merchant ship at sea, and Ernest will be delivered directly to Nilfgaard.

Then wait for them at the port closest to the Viper School, and then return to the floating port.

And when arriving in Novigrad, a Wild Hunt warning letter will be sent to various countries in the Northern Continent and Nilfgaard based on the reputation of the Kuhn family.

A bounty of one hundred thousand orens was placed on the head of the Wild Hunt.

"How?"

Walking in the aisle of the merchant ship, after hearing this, Aylin and Mary looked at Vesemir in shock.

If you hadn't known that Vesemir was not a braggart when it came to business matters.

Not only did this cover the round trip expenses and the ship, but he even paid 100,000 oren to go in.

It really doesn't look like something a merchant family could do that could sell goods to the palaces of two hostile countries during the war.

What are they planning?

Judging from the peaceful faces of the passing crew members, it doesn't look like someone important died in the Wild Hunt attack!

Hearing Aelin and Mary's doubts, Vesemir scratched his head and laughed dryly:

"I...I don't know very well..."

"Most of the content was discussed between Ernesto and Radu Kuhn. I just analyzed the strength and dangers of the Wild Hunt when he needed it..."

"But I asked Ernesto afterwards..."

"The reason why Radu Kuhn agreed is related to the Kuhn family's freedom in the free city of Novigrad... citizens... parliamentarians... elections..."

Vesemir was dancing around and couldn't explain clearly for a long time.

Instead, the more he spoke, the more he himself was involved.

"Forget it, if you are interested, just ask Ernesto directly." Vesemir gave up on himself.

Then he quickened his pace and walked towards the restaurant on the ship.

After Aylin and Mary looked at each other, they could only speed up to follow.

…

Since Aylin and his party of five could not wait for lunch, they would disembark at Bayeris Most.

So Radu Kuhn, to thank them for their information, invited them to brunch tea.

It is said that this is a new fashion in Novigrad.

But Aelin and the others certainly didn't come here for the exquisite snacks and the precious black tea said to come from the south of Nilfgaard.

Radu Kuhn's friendship was their main goal.

Although Mary seemed to really like these desserts, they were too sweet in Aelin's opinion.

But what surprised a few people...

It was a gift that Radu Kun asked the attendant to deliver to the cabin after the boring social interaction of morning tea——

A parchment book, a steel sword and a silver sword.

"Ms. Margarita, this is the alchemy book of the Elf Sage Eleanor..."

The waiter wore white velvet gloves and gently picked up the parchment book placed on the trolley.

"Eleanor?"

Mary, who was originally careless and half-leaning on the chair, suddenly became energetic.

"Yes, it is the "Alchemist" Eleanor you thought of..."

"Alchemist" Eleanor, the most talented alchemist in the Elf Empire thousands of years ago, created many unique magic potions with special effects.

A figure that cannot be ignored in the history of alchemy.

It is said that the legendary mage Ortolan used Eleanor's alchemy techniques when he created the famous anti-aging potion.

"Is this for me?"

"Of course, these gifts are personally selected by Mr. Radu, please be sure to accept them."

The waiter smiled and presented the book with both hands.

Mary swallowed, wiped her hands on her clothes subconsciously, and then carefully took the parchment.

"Master Vesemir, this is 'Gilnar' silver..."

Before the attendant finished speaking, Vesemil, who was smiling and admiring Mary's joyful expression, couldn't sit still.

It was like there were springs in the seat, and it jumped up.

"Girner who has killed a red dragon, a green dragon and a dozen high-level vampires?"

Vesemir pursed his lips tightly, and his dark golden cat eyes kept switching between vertical pupils and round pupils.

The attendant nodded and said:

"He was one of the first few demon hunters of the Demon Hunter Order..."

"Mr. Radu knows that you are currently using a silver sword that does not suit your status, so he chose one for you on his own initiative."

The words have not yet finished.

Vesemir and Mary both subconsciously glanced at Elsa behind Aylin.

"What's wrong?"

The attendant noticed something unusual and asked curiously.

"It's nothing..." Vesemir shook his head in embarrassment and changed the subject, "This is not self-inflicted..."

"but……"

"Such a legendary silver sword..."

"How could any demon hunter be willing to use her when hunting monsters..."

Vesemir took the shiny silver sword and couldn't put it down, stroking the simple hilt, sword grid and sword spine.

It was as gentle as if it was afraid of disturbing the soul of the sword and fled from his hand.

Mary and Vesemir both received their favorite gifts, which made Aelin sit up involuntarily and look forward to it.

But at the same time, he couldn't help but wonder.

Not to mention the gift that belongs to Aelin next, the combined value of just an Elf Sage's parchment and the sword of the first-generation demon hunter is probably far more than the value set by Radu Kun for the Wild Hunt. A bounty of 100,000 Allen.

Is the news that Aedirn is waging war to take revenge on Kaedwen so valuable?

But Ailin didn't wait to think about it.

The attendant's gentle smile suddenly disappeared, and his expression instantly became serious.

The longing from the heart was beyond words, making the atmosphere in the entire cabin solemn.

The attendant knelt down on one knee and took out a long sword from the long velvet gift box.

Then he stood up, held it in both hands and handed it to the young demon hunter with a solemn expression:

"Master Aylin..."

"This is a gift specially prepared for you by Mr. Radu..."
