Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Although our destination is outside the city, it is not a place where people don't go. There are villages around..."

After the carriage had been moving for a while, Ianna suddenly spoke, breaking the silence in the carriage.

Alin looked in the direction of the voice.

Ianna, who sat in the same row with him, leaned on a soft waist pillow with a gentle expression.

The old duke opposite him leaned on his cane with both hands, his posture was upright, but he closed his eyes and rested after ordering the coachman to set off.

He didn't open his eyes when he heard Ianna talking.

There are villages around, which means that there will definitely not be too many monsters on the way...

Alin thought about Ianna's words and felt more confident.

But it's true.

If there is really a big monster that will attack, how can the Grand Duke let the soldiers leave.

"What monsters have you encountered when preparing for the ceremony in the past?" The demon hunter asked in a responsible manner.

"The most likely thing we'll encounter is corpse-eating creatures," Ianna thought for a moment and sighed, "Temeria has experienced several wars in the past few years..."

"Although Falja was killed by the old Temeria King Geidema in the Hotberg Fortress thirty years ago, the chaos she caused will not end so quickly..."

"Eight years ago..."

"The last remaining rebels of Falja were suppressed by Duke Merlin in an unknown hill south of Elland..."

The old duke mentioned twitched his nose slightly, without opening his eyes or speaking.

However, with Erin's keen perception, he could sense that his head was raised.

"Then it was five years ago..."

"The plague known as the Black Death broke out in the capital of Vizima."

"In order to facilitate the treatment of priests and doctors in the temple, the sick civilians were also isolated in the Kalm Basin not far from Elland..."

"Finally it was three years ago..."

Ianna glanced at the old duke and continued:

"Because of the absurd things of the royal family, the nobles of Temeria launched a rebellion..."

"For some reason, one of the battlefields was also very close to Elland..."

"Hmph!" The old duke snorted with a rare grim expression this time, opened his eyes, and glared at Ianna unhappily.

"What?" The old duke's reaction seemed to anger Ianna, and the high priest's face suddenly turned cold.

"Are you not allowed to talk about the dirty things of your royal family?"

"Because of a prince's affair, at least 50,000 people died in Temeria..."

"Bang!"

Ianna was interrupted by the cane hitting the bottom of the compartment.

"Amavit is not necessarily the king's son," the old duke argued with a stinky face, "He is very likely the bastard Falja..."

"If there is a problem, it is Falja's bastard, if there is no problem, it is your brother Geidema's good child?" Ianna snorted coldly.

The old duke held the cane on the back of his hand, and veins popped out because of the force:

"Geidema is not only my brother, but also your king, and the guardian of the entire Temeria..."

"Guardian?" Ianna smiled, "What does he protect?"

"And..."

"The king in my heart is only a lady..."

The high priest and the old duke inexplicably quarreled over a normal problem of one of their demon hunters.

This made Ailin a little confused.

What confused him even more was how Falja had a child with the king of Temeria, and a prince of Temeria?

Wasn't Geidema's queen the heir of the ancient blood of Lei Anlun?

Wait...

Ailin frowned and recalled carefully.

Hotberg's triplets!

He remembered that after Falja imprisoned Lei Anlun, the two gave birth to children almost at the same time in Hotberg Castle.

Falja believed that only the queen was qualified to be the wet nurse of her children.

So, she put her children together with Lei Anlun's twins, who were already crazy at the time, and let her feed her children.

Finally, the fortress was breached by Geidema. After Falja died, no one could tell which of the triplets was Falja's child and which was Geidema and Lei Anlun's child.

But...

He seemed to remember that the gender of Falja's child was determined to be a girl...

Ailin looked at the Duke Mason and Ianna who were still arguing, and tactfully did not ask the question.

Then again...

Three major turmoil in ten years.

Temeria is really full of disasters!

"Most of them are ghouls, sometimes giant ghouls and rot demons appear, only these kinds of monsters..."

The old duke seemed to have no intention of arguing with Ianna about the scandal of Temeria in front of the demon hunter.

After looking at Aylin, he answered the question on behalf of the high priest.

Aylin nodded when he heard it.

After thinking about it, he took out the dark red ghoul biological oil from the medicine bag on his waist, took out Elsa and applied it carefully.

Although from the tone of the old duke, the probability of giant ghouls and rot demons appearing is not high.

But if there is a chance to prepare in advance, of course, hurry up and prepare.

Anyway, the materials for ghoul oil are very cheap.

"What is this?"

The old duke asked with a frown.

When he was young, he went to the battlefield and knew that what Aylin took out was not the anti-rust oil for daily maintenance and polishing of weapons.

"This is corpse-eating creature oil... uh... a sword oil targeting corpse-eating creatures..."

"Sword oil? Zombie oil?" The old Duke's eyebrows tightened.

After searching through the memories in his mind, he could not find such a magic potion.

This shouldn't be the case.

As the Duke of Elland, he can buy even potions like Green Sigh.

and……

In recent years, everyone knows that he established the Demon Hunting Army. There is no reason why he has never heard of it. The efficacy of such a magic potion is obvious just by the name.

"The sword oil is Aylin's own magic potion formula..." Ianna said.

The old Duke stared at the too young witcher with suspicion, and suddenly lost interest in the potion called sword oil.

He even felt that the young man in front of him was a bit sensational.

"Hahaha~" Seeing the change in the old Duke's expression, Ianna guessed what he was thinking. After laughing a few times, she explained, "In addition to being a master demon hunter, Aylin is also Vera's alchemist. Apprentice, she told me that Aylin is extremely talented in potions..."

"Hmph~" The old Duke opened his mouth slightly, as if he wanted to say something.

But when he noticed Yianna's smiling gaze, he snorted and closed his mouth again.

But Aelin noticed.

The old Duke's eyes glanced at Elsa's shining dark red sword from time to time, and he was obviously very interested in the corpse-eating creature oil.

This also made Ailin raise his eyebrows and have some thoughts in his mind.

Although Haxo, who wanted to stop the gift money from the Wolf School, is already dead.

But even if the new king of Kaedwen doesn't hate the Wolf School, the possibility of making up for this gift every year like in the past is not high.

The expansion of apprenticeships is inevitable, and the cost of various magic potions within the school will definitely rise rapidly.

perhaps……

It's time to find a new way to make money for the school.

in addition.

Although he now has more than 20,000 orens, he is still considered rich.

But the materials consumed in the ceremony in these three days were almost this amount.

A man, a true man, cannot always live on soft rice.

However, Aylin, who noticed that the old Duke was moving, said nothing and continued to apply sword oil carefully, hoping that two ghouls would come to serve as models for him.

Just when he was thinking this.

The next second.

"Dong dong dong~"

The door of the carriage was knocked, and the carriage gradually stopped.

Come alive?

Aylin suddenly became excited, but of course his expression was still controlled and cool, pretending to be silent.

"Your Excellency, the High Priest, the first location has arrived..."

"But there seem to be a few shadows wandering among the grass in the distance."

"It seems like we're being targeted."

The driver's tone was calm, as if he was not outside the car but inside.

The old Duke glanced at Aylin after hearing this.

The demon hunter stood up knowingly and said:

"I'll go!"

Ianna smiled and patted the witcher's arm.

"Squeak~"

The moment the carriage door was opened.

The demon hunter's figure froze slightly.

The next second.

"Ouch~"

A long roar came from a distance.

Um?

There seems to be something wrong with this ghoul's cry.

Why does it sound like a wolf?

Aylin followed the sound.

Under the bright sunshine, gray and white figures flashed across the grass about five or six hundred meters away.

All right……

He forgot that apart from monsters, the most common sightings in the wild were all kinds of wild beasts, especially packs of wolves.

With a bit of disappointment, the demon hunter inserted the silver sword back into the steel sword as usual.

"It's a few wild wolves."

Aylin reminded him, nodded to the coachman, and got out of the carriage.

As the first place to arrange the ceremony.

The witcher got out of the car and looked around.

It was indeed as he suspected.

Although it is said to be in the wild, when you stand here and look back, you can still see the remnants of the Mahakam Mountains, which are much higher than the ground.

At the bottom of the mountain is the small gray city of Airland with a hint of orange.

A path that can accommodate a carriage extends from Mahakam, from far to near.

On both sides are knee-high weeds and unknown pink flowers that are gradually growing lush.

and an apparently cleared clearing.

"Tap~"

Footsteps came from behind.

Ianna and Mason also got off the carriage.

Aylin turned around following the sound: "Mom Ianna... the high priest, Duke Mason, although they are just a few wild wolves, they are still in danger when they come down. Just wait in the car."

Ianna smiled and said nothing.

"What?" The old Duke snorted from his nostrils, "You can't do it?"

The witcher chuckled and shook his head, no longer trying to persuade him.

After using the witcher's senses to confirm again that there were only eight wild wolves around, he habitually added Quen, then danced a sword flower and rushed in the direction of the wolves.

"Ouch~"

The wolves in the distance noticed the witcher, a prey that had separated from the group. After getting closer and closer, they howled and rushed over.

actually.

As a typical example of bullying, the eight wolves would definitely not dare to attack them since it was not night.

At most, they can just follow and watch.

After all, although the demon-hunting army did not come, the Duke was traveling, and there were about ten guards accompanying him, riding behind the car.

But just now Aylin thought it was a ghoul and agreed.

You certainly can't go back on your word just because a wolf appears instead of a ghoul.

"Huh~"

The wind whistled in my ears.

Running in both directions, the distance with the wolves is getting closer and closer.

When he was close enough to see the gray hair flying in the wind and the pale fangs, the demon hunter held the sword in his left hand to protect himself, bent his index finger on his right hand, and quickly reached forward.

Igoni Fire Seal.

The heat rises from near the heart, flows through the right hand, and then spurts out.

"Sa——"

After the violent shock wave, there was a cluster of super large fan-shaped flames with a radius of three meters, which instantly ignited all the oncoming wolves.

"Woo——"

Amidst the pitiful and panicked wails, thick smoke and the stench of burned proteins blew over instantly in the wind.

But Aylin didn't care.

He looked at his right hand and was stunned for a moment.

After his mysterious attributes increased to over fifty, this was the first time he used the Igoni Seal.

What was originally just clusters of small sparks and flames turned into a large ball of flame.

Outstanding effect.

"Woo——"

The screams of the wolves awakened the demon hunter.

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

"Pfft~"

…

Cut off the leader of the pack of wolves with eight sharp sword strikes.

"bite."

【Monster group "wolves" crusade! 】

[Reward settlement:...]

The witcher ignored the ringing in his head.

Monsters of this level are probably not as good as the water ghosts. If they are not hunted in the form of a demon hunting legion, there will be no reward.

and……

Aylin glanced at the eight, and it was almost difficult to see the wolf carcass with its shiny fur.

"There is no need to collect this wolf skin." He concluded.

Take another closer look.

Even the abdominal fat that can be used to refine dog fat was burned by the high-temperature flames

The witcher sighed and thought:

"Igoni's power is too great after the strength is improved. Next time, for the sake of loot and materials, I have to restrain a little more power, or simply use a sword..."

This was the first time he encountered a beast like a wolf, so he subconsciously used the method of "more hair and less fire" to hunt monsters the fastest.

As a result, no loot was left behind.

Aylin was secretly alert.

Good-quality wolf skins are not cheap, but they are just fine.

But if it was bear fur and bear fat, he would be at a huge loss.

"Shasha~"

Aylin turned around and walked towards the carriage, and was about to put the steel sword back into its scabbard.

Only then did he notice that the steel sword in his hand was the newly acquired divine sword Balmer.

Immediately, there was a feeling that this sword did not want to follow the new owner. The first battle was to kill a wolf, so it affected his use of the seal.

But after carefully observing it for a few seconds and finding that there was no fluctuation, he laughed and shook his head.

"Qiang~"

The steel sword is sheathed.

"What's wrong, Aelin?"

"Injured?"

When Ianna saw the witcher coming over in a low mood, her heart skipped a beat and she couldn't care about the old Duke anymore. She quickly walked a few steps towards Aylin and asked.

Um?

Injuried?

Do they match?

The demon hunter looked doubtfully at the high priest who was moving his hands up and down to examine his body. He thought about it before saying with a bitter smile:

"No injuries."

"I just didn't expect wild wolves to be so weak..."

"No trophies left behind..."
