Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

Since childhood, Yennefer knew...

People are different.

Some people are loved by their parents since birth.

They have new shoes and clothes, and a clean bed.

They will have neighbors and villagers, whether they know them or not, who will greet them with smiles and care...

They can run around the village with peers of similar height, and secretly go to the river to fish and swim...

If they are caught by their family, they will be given hot soup and warm warnings after being taught a lesson...

But some people are not like that.

Some people are even hated by their own parents.

Not only do they not have new shoes and clothes, but they must also live in the same place with the stinky livestock at home.

No matter what they do, they will be insulted and beaten.

They have no friends and playmates, and their peers will only shout "monster monster" and spit and throw stones at them.

No matter how familiar the neighbors are, they will only show disgust and hate...

Some people are not liked by anyone.

Yennefer knew since childhood...

But one day, it was different.

Someone saved her from being beaten by her own father...

The man carried two swords and had a pair of eyes that were clearer and more beautiful than the Fala River in front of the village.

He bought her, a monster, with money that she could not earn from washing clothes for a year.

What awaited her was not beatings and endless labor...

But new shoes and clothes, as well as warm and delicious broth and soft bread...

He brought her to a group of beautiful people.

No one in this group showed disgust or dislike for her.

Marie's sister took care of her, wiped her body and applied medicine for her...

The uncle named Vesemir, although he looked fierce, did not avoid her while teaching his brother knowledge...

Following this group of people, she left the village...

She saw a prosperous city, lived in a palace-like house, and boarded a huge ship that was bigger than the village...

"Don't be afraid, it's normal to have no talent."

"It doesn't matter if you can't measure your talent. Aunt Ianna will take you in and teach you herbs, medical skills and midwifery..."

The man rubbed her hair to comfort her.

Warmth seeped into her sparse hair, like the warmth of her mother in her memory.

An old lady named Ianna was looking at her.

Kind and gentle.

She made people feel dependent at a glance.

Before coming to Elland, Sister Mary had introduced her to the temple of the goddess Meliteli.

So she only knew that staying was a good choice...

No...

Even if she just stayed in the temple to study, it was a future she dared not think of before leaving the fisherman's village.

But...

She didn't want to leave.

She wanted to be useful and stay with that person.

"Take away the black cloth," a woman with an especially good-looking appearance came over, "Don't worry, it will be soon..."

Through the black cloth, Yennefer raised her little head and looked at Alin.

Then she took a deep breath, resisted the discomfort in her heart, trembling but firmly loosened the black cloth, allowing her ugly and deformed body to be seen by others.

"I want to be useful!"

She used this sentence in her heart to give herself courage.

At this time.

She saw that the beautiful woman took another step closer and stood in front of her.

The pair of red eyes seemed to see through her heart.

"Don't be nervous, open your heart, accept it with all your heart..."

The cold female voice was so close that it seemed to ring in her mind, making her subconsciously a little scared.

"Accept what?"

She responded subconsciously in her mind, but found that her mouth was not open the next second.

Just about to speak...

"Snap~"

A snap of fingers.

"Accept the oldest power in the world - Chaos Magic."

Why can she speak in my heart?

A thought flashed through Yennefer's mind.

The next moment...

She saw the abyss!

...

"Buzz~"

"Buzz~"

The roaring wolf head emblem of the Wolf School rang softly in the simply decorated room.

Lisa, who learned about Yennefer's life experience from Mary in the afternoon, looked at the girl who suddenly fainted with pity, and whispered to the priest beside her:

"Priest Nennefer, can this girl become a sorceress?"

Nennefer shook his head and looked at Ianna.

"The probability is very small," Ianna touched Lisa's head kindly, "and becoming a sorceress is not necessarily a good thing..."

"I hope she doesn't have this talent."

The warmth of Ianna's palm made Lisa squint her eyes in enjoyment, like a kitten.

But the words of the high priest made her look at Vera and Mary cautiously.

Fortunately, the two sorceresses were paying attention to Yennefer, which made her feel relieved.

Lisa tilted her head to look at Ianna, with a look on her face saying "Can you say such words directly?"

"It's okay," Ianna shook her head gently and said, "This is a consensus!"

"Magic is a weapon of chaos and a tool of revenge, and it is the key to open the forbidden door."

"That door hides nightmares, fears, and unimaginable disasters."

"In fact, since the world merged and humans learned magic, the world has been cursed. Therefore, the world will collapse and humans will perish."

"Ah?" Lisa looked at Ianna in surprise.

It is unimaginable that "the world will inevitably collapse, and mankind will also perish." Such words would come from the mouth of the high priest of the Meliteli Temple.

She turned her head and looked at Nannick again.

Nannick was not surprised at all, he should have known this "consensus" for a long time.

She looked at Yennefer pityingly.

But Lysa now felt that it wasn't just Yennefer she was looking at with pity.

but……

"Since magic is destined to destroy the world, why... why..."

Lysa's voice was low. She thought of a word, but it seemed she shouldn't say it.

"Why not ban everyone from using magic?" Ianna continued gently and calmly.

Her voice was neither loud nor quiet, but just enough for everyone in the room to hear.

But except for Vesemir and Aelin who glanced at them, Vera and Mary seemed not to hear.

Lysa shrank her head and did not dare to speak.

"Because this can't be banned, and it shouldn't be banned!" Ianna sighed rarely.

Without waiting for Lesa to ask further, she continued to explain:

"The gift of magic is more of a curse than a gift."

"People with this talent will unconsciously absorb the chaotic magic floating in the air when they are very young."

"Chaos magic is not friendly to humans and often causes illness and deformity."

"And the more talented you are, the more magic you absorb unconsciously, and the more painful you will be."

"If the magic power is accumulated to a certain extent and cannot be released, it will suddenly explode at a certain moment..."

Speaking of this, Ianna paused, glanced at Vera and Mary, and sighed:

"Many close relatives of warlocks died at that time..."

When Lysa heard this, her whole body trembled.

Her father and mother died in front of her, giving her nightmares for nearly ten years.

It wasn't until I came to Ireland these two months that things got better.

She couldn't imagine what it felt like for those children who woke up and found that they had unintentionally killed their loved ones.

"So..." Yianna continued:

"Becoming a warlock is also a necessary way for those children to save themselves and others."

"And before the demon hunters were created, it was these warlocks who, amidst the pain caused by rough spells, destroyed invading monsters and protected human settlements..."

"So they are also humans and Ms. Meritelli's children..."

Ianna looked at Lysa seriously and asked: "You must always remember this, do you understand?"

Lesa didn't know why Ianna suddenly became so serious, but she still nodded vigorously:

"I understand, High Priest."

"Well, good boy!" Ianna smiled kindly again and touched her head.

At this time.

"Buzz! Buzz!"

The two Wolf School badges suddenly vibrated violently.

Vera's red eyes also suddenly lit up. She glanced at Aylin next to her in surprise, and her expression became serious.

"Pa~"

A snap of the fingers.

A blue shield appeared around the little monster floating in mid-air.

And then the next second.

"ah--"

In the ear-piercing scream.

Irregular bloody ripples burst out from the little monster's body.

It's like the lake surface hit by boulders under the blood moon.

Dangerous and terrifying.

However, after the ripples poured out of the little monster's body, they were offset by ripples also appearing in the blue magic shield cast by Vera.

After nearly half a minute, the strange movement that happened to the little monster disappeared.

"Is this a talent?" Lysa asked softly.

Nannick nodded:

"Not only that, but he is able to accumulate such powerful magic power in his body at this age, and his talent is not low..."

Lysa suddenly became happy.

The curse of the world, the destruction of mankind, etc. are too far away from her.

Even as a member of the Temple of Meriteri, she felt that becoming a warlock was the best way for Yennefer.

There are many lay people in this world, and people like Aylin, Nannick, and Ianna are the minority, even in the temple.

So for women, appearance is very important.

therefore.

If Yennefer had no talent, she might not be happy staying in the temple, even with the help of her and the other priests.

Although the medical skills taught by Meriteli Temple are the best in the northern continent, they do not have the skills to help people change their appearance.

The abnormal movement ends.

Yennefer fell gently and was gently held by Aylin, who was always paying attention.

"Good talent!"

A cold voice commented.

Vesemir and Mary both opened their mouths at this time. They all remembered Aelin's confident evaluation after adopting Yennefer.

But even Vesemir knew that.

Before the magic awakens, only special methods can be used to screen out the talents of potential warlocks.

Moreover, the bloody red fox said that her talent was good, and Yennefer would be another Mary in the future.

Vesemir thought to himself.

Aylin nodded slightly, then hesitated for two seconds and looked at the sorceress:

"Ms. Vera, since she has a good talent, then...can I ask you to teach her?"

"Can."

The sorceress's reply was crisp and without hesitation, making Mary on the side look at her with suspicion.

"What a lucky little fellow!" Mary thought to herself.

She can still remember the difficulty of competing for Vera's apprenticeship at Arethusa College.

Yennefer actually overcame so many difficulties and obstacles just because of Aylin's words.

This made her a little envious...

etc……

I am also the apprentice of the Bloody Red Fox!

That’s okay!

At this time.

"Do I have any talent?"

The little monster suddenly woke up and asked in a daze.

"Your talent is very good!" Aylin said with a smile.

"Then can I stay?"

Aylin was stunned for a moment, thinking that the little monster wanted to stay in Meriteli Temple.

But after seeing the desire and fear in her violet eyes, I understood somehow.

So the witcher smiled gently and said softly:

"Of course, Yennefer!"

"Of course you can stay!"

…

He quietly handed the little monster, who fell asleep after listening to Aylin's words, to Mary and sent him back to the room.

By this time, the night was already deep.

"Master Vesemir, where is my room?" Seeing Mary closing the door gently, Aylin tilted his head and asked.

"exist……"

Just as Vesemir was about to answer, he was interrupted by a smiling Ianna:

"You should go to the sanctuary to rest these nights!"

"Although there are no beds there, the demon hunters of the Wolf School should all use meditation instead of sleeping, right?"

Yianna just finished speaking.

There was a sudden silence in the room.

Lysa opened her mouth as if to say something, but was stopped by the smiling Nannick.

Vera squinted her eyes and looked at Ianna, who was always smiling kindly. She didn't speak, and she didn't know what she was thinking.

Aylin glanced at Vesemir and saw that Vesemir was also stunned. He knew that this decision should be temporarily changed due to the changes after leaving the sanctuary.

But since Yianna didn’t explain, Vera didn’t say anything either.

He didn't ask any more questions, nodded and said:

"Demon hunters of the Wolf School do meditate instead of sleeping..."

"Should I go to the sanctuary now?"

"Yeah," Ianna came closer, straightened Aelin's clothes, and said, "Go, good boy, Ms. Meritelli will protect you."

"Nennick will send him off for me."

"Okay, High Priest." Nannik agreed, then led Aylin and Lysa out of the room.

"Dong~"

The door was gently closed.

The room fell silent.

Seeing that something was wrong in the atmosphere, Vesemir originally wanted to ask why the arrangement had been changed.

After thinking for two seconds, he looked at Vera again and said goodbye to the two of them.

Frowning, he took Royce's hand and left.

"Dong~"

There were only two people left in the room at this time.

This is Ianna's room, and obviously Vera should be leaving at this time.

Silence for a few seconds.

"Ai Lin..."

"Don't worry," Ianna interrupted Vera, "He should be fine, he just needs to be more secure."

"Should..." Vera sighed and didn't ask any more questions.

"Dong~"

There was only one person left in the room.

The clear moonlight is like flowing water, shining through the window.

Yianna looked at the mottled bright spots on the ground and sighed quietly.

…

After leaving Ianna, Vera stood on the corridor for a long time before walking towards her residence.

Passing through the orphanage with the sound of children playing, and passing by a small garden...

The sorceress arrived.

Just as she was walking up the steps, she suddenly looked towards the shadow of the building:

"Who?!!"
