Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Donato Roglides?" Aelin looked up at Lysa, "This is it?"

"Donato Roglides is the Duke of Kaedwen," Lysa said. "He had a child who was taken away by the witchers of the Wolf School due to the law of accident, and died in the trial..."

"The Rodrides family has many properties that have interests in Ben Ade..."

Having interests with Ben Ad...

Aylin's eyes suddenly lit up and he looked at the other names on the paper:

"So, other names too?"

Lysa nodded: "The other names are all nobles who have had disputes with the demon hunters, or at least they are nobles whose political stance is leaning towards wizards."

"The Marquis of Junio ​​West was also the heir who was taken away by the demon hunter due to an accident..."

"There are also Earl Harley McCain, Viscount Mings Isaac, Earl Edison Loy..."

"These nobles were all children taken away by demon hunters..."

"Some of these children are even the first heirs to the family title..."

Aylin was a little stunned when he heard this. The Wolf School had made so many enemies, no wonder he was beaten so badly in the end.

The little priest seemed to see through Aylin's thoughts through his expression, and comforted him:

"The children who were taken away were all nobles whose lives were saved by demon hunters..."

"I asked Nannick that few demon hunters would take the initiative to use the Law of Accident when there is money to be made..."

"So it's not that the witcher took away their children, but fate took them away through the hands of the witcher..."

Aylin also knows this.

He once asked Vesemir, and the children he would bring to Kaer Morhen were usually children from poor families who could not afford the commission fee.

When encountering nobles, no witcher of the Wolf School would take the initiative to bring up the Law of Accident.

unless……

Destiny called them.

After all, every noble is the local emperor. Which sane demon hunter would take the initiative to offend?

"Thank you," Aelin thanked Lysa for her comfort. "Few people know a witcher so well."

Lesa's face turned slightly red:

"That...that's because when I was sent here by Ms. Vera, I hadn't given up on the idea of ​​becoming a demon hunter..."

"So I deliberately went to find out..."

This topic seemed to make the little priest a little embarrassed. Without saying a few words, he forcibly brought the topic back to the list:

"There are also Viscount Matthieu Dole and Baron Simone..."

"These are families whose families have businesses related to wizards, or whose heirs are direct wizards who are Ben Ader..."

"besides……"

After telling the background of a lot of names on the list in one breath, Lysa took a breath.

Looking at the demon hunter's blue cat eyes with some expectancy, he asked softly:

"Can these things help you?"

That would be so helpful.

Although the school's current neutral attitude is unlikely to directly target these nobles.

But just knowing the names can be useful.

At least we can check in advance whether the casualties of the demon hunters in the territories of these nobles are natural disasters or man-made disasters...

So Aylin looked at Lysa solemnly and said:

"This information will be very useful to us, thank you, Lysa."

"As long as it's useful." Looking directly at Aylin, Lysa tilted her head unnaturally:

"Since coming to Elland, I have been thinking about how to repay you for saving my life."

"I never thought of it..."

"After all, my personal power is too small and I don't have much money..."

"Fortunately, a woman came to the temple to pray to the lady half a month ago..."

"A wife of the Duke of Elland who is close to the vassal, is now teaching etiquette and dancing to the Duke's daughter in Elland..."

"She is my aunt, my mother's biological sister..."

"It's been nearly eight years. The last time we met, I was probably just a toddler. I don't even know how she recognized me..."

It is a good thing to meet relatives, but Ailin also doubts whether there is any conspiracy.

After all, after becoming an adult, it’s easy to recognize someone after not seeing him for more than a few years.

But before the age of ten, children are almost the same every year.

Therefore, Aylin asked after thinking for a few seconds:

"Is it okay for your affairs to be known?"

Lesa was stunned, and it took her two seconds to understand what he meant, and she shook her head gently:

"Thank you for your concern."

"I think she is credible. I vaguely remember that my mother and her sister had a very good relationship in the past..."

"When I saw me this time, after knowing the news about my mother, she looked very sad!"

"and……"

"I am now the priest of Meriteli Temple. As long as I stay here, there will be no conspiracy involving me, not to mention..."

"Haxo is already dead..."

Aylin nodded slightly and said nothing more.

After all, these are blood-related relatives, and if you say anything more, you will be suspected of provoking.

Lysa lifted the candle on the handle and looked at the list:

"I met my aunt and started chatting. I heard that she is familiar with the nobles of Kaedwen and Temeria. I thought of you... you demon hunters..."

"I remember that the Wolf School seemed to be in trouble with the king and wizards, so I asked her to help me collect some information."

"Because time is a little rushed, for the time being, it is all the nobles of Kaedwen who have a grudge against the demon hunter..."

"There are carrier pigeons in the temple that remember the location of Kyle Village."

"When I find out the follow-up list, I will ask the carrier pigeon to send it to you again..."

"Wouldn't this bring danger to you guys?" Aylin hesitated.

Lesa shook her head and said:

"I'm just asking about something that happened in the past. There are many noble ladies who are obsessed with the deeds of your demon hunters, so this is nothing."

"I'm avoiding Nannick, I just don't want to involve her."

The witcher thought about it carefully and found that this was indeed the case.

The normally active demon hunters in the northern continent are wolves, griffins, cats, and bears.

Except for the Cat School, other witchers are not involved in politics, and their numbers are not large.

Unless he kidnapped someone else's son, he didn't have any sharp interactions with ordinary nobles.

Moreover, the witcher is mysterious and powerful, and is indeed a good talking point for bored ladies.

So Aylin stopped being pretentious:

"Thank you, Lysa."

“This list really helps us!”

"You're welcome, I hope I can help you," Lesa shook her head and sighed, "This is the only thing I can do now."

Looking at the lonely expression on the little priest's face, Aylin knew that she was thinking about the past again, so he sighed and patted her shoulder gently.

"I'm fine." Lysa's body trembled, she closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and showed her usual gentle smile:

"It's late at night, that's all I have to say, so I won't disturb your rest."

Aylin nodded slightly and was about to carefully fold up the list and bid farewell to the little priest.

Sudden.

From the corner of his eye, he seemed to notice two names. The little priest had not mentioned them just now, so he asked curiously:

"By the way, who are Woevender Araya and Gerson Gardner on the list?"

The words have not yet finished.

The lonely-looking little priest suddenly froze, and his cheeks became rosy.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she whispered:

"Viscount Woivender Araya and Master Vesemir had a very fierce conflict in Ard Kalai over a... uh... gorgeous lady..."

"As for Count Gerson Gardner..." the little priest looked embarrassed and hesitated for several seconds before saying, "He once dueled with Master Vesemir for his then fiancée..."

A gorgeous lady?

fiancée?

Aelin smacked his lips.

Good guy!

Was Vesemir so romantic before?

But when you think about Robin's book "The Witcher and the Night Stalker's One Thousand and One Nights", it doesn't seem so strange.

"What was the result of the duel?" Aylin was a little curious.

Lysa said: "Master Vesemir won, and Baron Gerson Gardner recovered from his injuries for half a year before getting married..."

"Still the fiancée?"

Lysa blushed and nodded.

As expected of Vesemir who had fought against the Night Demon... Aelin sighed in his heart.

"Count Gerson Gardner's wife was the Duke's daughter. He was just a baron at the time..." Lysa explained again.

Aylin understood instantly.

No wonder it's on Lesa's list.

To feel so aggrieved for the sake of the title is a matter of sworn hatred.

…

"Da da da~"

The crisp and distant footsteps echoed in the corridor of the sanctuary.

The dim candlelight flickered in the witcher's hand, casting a huge shadow on the pure white wall.

but.

Even though there was only one candle in the corridor, there was surprisingly no eerie feeling.

On the contrary, when I stepped into the threshold of the sanctuary, I felt light and relieved.

It was like another person attached to him suddenly left.

"I didn't notice it when I came in the afternoon. This weight loss must be the curse of the evil god with big eyes, right?"

He touched his chin with his free left hand and felt some prickly stubble.

Just recently, the body seemed to be growing a beard.

Ignoring the strange feeling, the witcher recalled the feeling he had when he left the sanctuary in the afternoon.

"Does it mean that the less weight you feel, the more the curse is removed?"

"And where is this weight attached?"

"Is it a soul?"

Ai Lin murmured quietly, not afraid that someone would suddenly reply to him in the dead of night.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door groaned in the candlelight.

Clear echoes oscillated back and forth in the empty corridor.

The icon of the goddess Meriteri is still the same as it was during the day.

Each of the three phases has some cracks and gaps.

But the amazing thing is that none of these cracks and gaps appear on the three faces of the icon.

The girl is charming and naive, the pregnant woman is gentle, and the old woman is kind.

Like a real person.

I just don’t know who carved this statue, or whether it was conceived by the divine power of the goddess Meriteri.

This is like a chicken laying an egg or an egg laying a chicken, even the priests who believe in Meriteri can't tell.

But one thing is certain.

Meritelle was not elevated from mortal life.

And the history is not that long.

I stared at the holy statue and thought about it for a long time, but I didn't see any reaction from it.

Aylin sighed, found a corner and knelt down.

Although he didn't show it in front of Vesemir and Vera.

However, he was still very concerned about the anomalies in the afternoon and the strange movements of High Priest Ianna at night.

after all.

This curse is related to whether his flicker can be used normally...

What's more important is...

Ailin had an idea.

[Ding! The fragments of the Gate of Ade Ges are being absorbed...]

It has been a month, and the fragments of the Gate of Ade Ges are still being absorbed.

After the Mirage Pearl absorbed the dead Mirage Pearl, there has been no sign of waking up.

Although the only connection between the two is Aylin, he has to wonder if this curse is interfering.

"I hope everything goes well~"

Aylin sighed.

"Hu~"

The candlelight covered by the crystal was blown out.

The world was dark.

...

"Aylin..."

"Aylin..."

Someone called him in the dark.

Who?

Who is calling whom?

When the demon hunter realized this, he floated up suddenly and opened his eyes suddenly.

The girl in a simple gray skirt was squatting in front of him, taking out croissants, milk and two hard-boiled eggs from the basket next to her.

It was Lisa...

"Aylin, are you awake?" She smiled gently at Aylin.

The sunlight shone on her dark brown hair, which looked like golden threads.

"Awake?"

Alin was blank for a few seconds, but then his expression became serious.

He suddenly stood up and looked at the blue sky through the open window lattice and the tall green ash trees.

"Chirp~"

The magpie was singing, and the sun was high in the sky.

"What's wrong?"

Lysa looked at the weird-behaving demon hunter in confusion.

"I... I fell asleep..." Alin responded subconsciously and blankly.

"Puff~" Lysa smiled and looked at a certain place on the ground, "Of course you fell asleep, and you slept soundly!"

Alin also looked in the direction of the little priest.

A pool of crystal liquid reflected the skylight.

Obviously, this was the saliva he shed when he was sleeping.

The amount was quite a lot.

Alin blushed, but before he could explain, he saw Lysa took a piece of cloth from the basket and wiped the liquid clean.

"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone else."

The demon hunter has seen many people say this openly, but secretly spread the secret agreement everywhere.

But looking at the gentle smile on the little priest's face, Ailin inexplicably felt that she would really keep the secret between them.

No matter what kind of secret it is, no matter what the price...

This strange feeling made Ailin stunned for a moment, and he almost forgot the point now.

How could he, a demon hunter who has been meditating instead of sleeping for more than a month, fall asleep in such a simple place?

But just as he was about to speak.

"Hurry up and eat, High Priest Ianna should be here soon." After Lysa put the food on the table, she squatted aside and looked at him.

Ailin thought about it and found that it was meaningless to tell Lysa about this, and it would only cause worry.

Take a deep breath, let out a long breath, calm down, squat down, and start to enjoy the breakfast that Lysa brought.

The milk is warm.

The croissant not only has the unique fragrance of freshly baked bread, but also seems to have the taste of spring sunshine.

After a simple breakfast, Lysa cleaned up the dishes, nodded and left.

While waiting for the arrival of the high priest, Ailin looked at the statue, which was exactly the same as yesterday.

The girl was naive, the pregnant woman was gentle, and the old woman was kind.

They looked like real people.

"Is that the voice calling me you?"
