Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

"Crackle, crackle~"

The burning firewood warmed the torch, and the slightly dim fireplace was filled with the fragrance of burning pine resin.

Hearing Vesemir's words, Arlin was stunned, and his heart felt as comfortable as if he had just woken up early in the morning and had just drunk a bowl of hot porridge.

The dark golden cat eyes flashed with the glow of the torch, and the loss and concern escaped from the glow.

Arlin almost couldn't help but reveal everything.

But... it was just a little bit.

Arlin quietly shifted his gaze, even though he heard Vesemir sighing faintly.

Reality is not a hot-blooded comic. It is not that all problems can be solved by hard work, passion, friendship, family affection, and finally the roar and temporary burst of the protagonist.

The collapse of the school is a crisis they need to face together, and it is a man-made disaster that can be solved.

Therefore, Aylin also has to make up a "precognitive dream" to alert Vesemir, the head of the school, and even all the people related to it...

Warn, spur, and fully devote themselves to solving the crisis.

The appearance of the Wild Hunt is roughly due to the fusion of foreign lands in Ban Ader. The root cause is his behavior, but in essence it is a side effect of finding a way out for the school.

So even if the Wild Hunt's target is him, he will not face it alone, but will inform Vesemir and the school as soon as possible and find a solution together.

This is as it should be.

Moreover, although the Wild Hunt seems to be powerful and unmatched, with Aylin hanging on him, I really don't think there is no way out.

Temporarily slow down the number of celestial sphere intersections, and let Ban Ade, who has undergone foreign fusion, fight with the wild hunt first...

Unite with the mysterious Volta family, find the Viper School and Iva Evil Eye, who specialize in the wild hunt, and then unite with human allies, such as the nobles headed by Duke Mason of Elland and the largest sect of Meliteli in the northern continent...

Even after opening the way of beast roar, the skill called "Beast Roar: No Air" that was seen directly made it possible to pull the wild hunt, which had the advantage of the sky and was almost difficult to deal with, to the ground to fight...

Alin can even say that as long as there is no accident, and give him a certain amount of time to develop, defeating the wild hunt is almost inevitable.

But white frost...

White frost is different.

It is the irresistible celestial change in the original work of the previous life, the Ice Age.

It is the root of the doomsday that makes the powerful gods fear and helpless.

Alin doesn't even know what it is now. The powerful Meliteli has been tortured for hundreds of years and has not obtained much useful information.

The only clue is even the Wild Hunt, which is difficult to match at this stage.

After opening "Beast Roar: Forbidden Air", capturing a few arrogant Ain El may get more information about the White Frost.

But...

The Wild Hunt is just a stray dog ​​and a slave of a fallen country under the White Frost.

Even if they really defeat them, how much useful information can they really get?

If they have a way to deal with the White Frost, they will not end up like this.

He already knows the limit of the Demon Hunter's ability.

No matter what the White Frost is, it is an irresistible natural disaster for the Wolf School.

Telling people about happy things doubles the happiness.

Telling people about sad things halves the sadness.

But telling people about panic will only double the panic.

The first two may be true, but as a time traveler, Alin knows that the last one must be true.

So...

Erin listened to the disappointment in the sigh beside him and shook his head:

"Sorry, Master Vesemir, I can't tell you yet..."

He could just make up a story that was not serious and fool him.

But...

Looking at Vesemir's drooping eyes, for some reason, after turning the perfunctory lie in his mind for a few times, he just couldn't say it out loud.

In the end, he told the truth.

Vesemir looked at Erin in silence for a long time, as if observing and guessing...

What could be more despairing than the rejection of the head of a country and the legendary embodiment of the disaster of war, the Wild Hunt, and he didn't even want to say it.

"When can I tell you?" Vesemir finally sighed again and asked softly.

Erin lowered his head, and his right hand unnaturally stroked the wood grain on the oak table: "Let's deal with the nobles and wizards who threaten Kaer Morhen first..."

Hearing this, Vesemir nodded helplessly and didn't ask any questions.

I have been with Erin for half a year.

I have long known that this child with a seemingly immature face is actually terribly mature and has more ideas than his mentor who is several times his age.

Therefore.

Since Arryn doesn't want to say it, Vesemir naturally doesn't want to force it.

It's just...

"Maybe it's because my strength is not enough?"

Thinking of the battle that just happened in the training ground, Vesemir couldn't help but have such a thought in his heart.

Even Aristo couldn't beat Arryn, and he must be the same.

"A week or two ago, he was still defeated by him without taking the potion, but now even Aristo is not his opponent," Vesemir sighed in his heart, "Arryn's strength has improved so fast!"

After a few brief conversations, the two demon hunters were silent again.

One looked at the wood texture of the oak table under the flickering firelight, and the other looked at the dark fireplace without a flame.

I don't know what he was thinking.

That's it.

Until the sky gradually darkened, the heavy iron-clad door of the castle was pushed open again.

"Da da da~"

Heavy footsteps came from the door.

"Are you so impatient, Vesemir?" Lu Meng, who was blind, walked in. After seeing Vesemir, he asked in surprise, "You want to take away those five bottles of wine now?"

When Vesemir heard the voice, his body suddenly trembled, as if he had just come back to his senses.

For some reason, Vesemir, who should have been very excited after winning five more bottles of adult wine from Aristo, had no interest in tasting the wine of victory at this moment.

After hearing Lu Meng's teasing voice, he wiped his face with his right hand, glanced at Aylin, and laughed dryly:

"No need, I'll leave you here first..."

Lumen, who was lighting the fireplace with the Igoni Sign, didn't notice that the atmosphere between Vesemir and Aelin was not normal.

After hearing Vesemir's words, he nodded and looked at Aylin in admiration:

"I heard about it from Aristo, it's amazing..."

Aelin looked up.

"There aren't many people who can convince Aristo, that big bastard, to lose," Lu Meng sighed. "I kept talking about him when I just met him. Vesemir really took advantage of him..."

In response to Lu Meng's compliments, Aylin twisted his body unnaturally and said a few words modestly:

"Master Aristo just didn't take it seriously. Let me do it. Otherwise, I will probably lose if I don't get to the second round."

Indeed.

Aristo's spin and slash ultimate move in the second round is not only handsome, but also powerful. If he is hit, Quen's shield will be 100% broken.

Even if Aristo didn't hold back, it wouldn't be a problem to kill Aylin with one sword.

The thick fog surrounding the sword stems from the sword swing breaking the speed of sound...

The red light at the tip of the sword is not only due to speed, but also mixed with the skill of Igoni's seal...

Of course.

On the way to the castle hall, he thought about that move several times.

Naturally, Aristo's Whirlwind Slash actually comes from the same source as the Spin Slash that Aylin obtained when the two-handed sword of the Wolf School was upgraded to LV5, but it is just more difficult.

Aylin has some ideas about this, but he is temporarily ranked behind "Beast Roar: Fury".

"The old stubborn guy doesn't have the words to 'give in' or 'keep his hand'..." Lu Meng laughed a few times and shook his head gently.

Then he patted his shoulder happily and happily, and walked into the inner room to prepare the ingredients for the evening.

There were only two demon hunters left in the castle hall.

Aylin and Vesemir looked at each other. Because of the deliberate concealment just now, the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.

Just when Aylin was about to say something and change the subject, Vesemir suddenly smiled to himself:

"As a traveling mentor, I can't solve the apprentice's problems. What a failure I have done as a mentor."

"Master Vesemir..."

Vesemir waved his hand, interrupting Aylin's anxious explanation, and smiled gently:

"But I believe you, since 'Blue Death' has decided to do this, it must make sense."

Hearing that he had taken the widely circulated title, Aylin was so embarrassed that goosebumps came out all over his body: "Master Vesemir!"

But at the same time he breathed a sigh of relief.

Vesemir knew how he felt about the nickname.

Since he is still willing to joke, it means that Aelin's "distrust" and "avoidance" should not have a great impact on Vesemir.

"But you have to remember..." After Vesemir smiled, he suddenly became serious and looked at Aylin, "No matter you are lucky or not, you are my apprentice, Vesemir, and a member of the Wolf School... "

"No matter what happens in the future, don't fight it alone. No matter how big or difficult it is, there is always something that the school and I can do..."

"I remember you said it yourself..."

"A lone wolf dies but a pack of wolves lives..."

Ailin's heart warmed as he was stared at solemnly by the dark gold cat eyes, and he nodded vigorously.

At this time.

Lu Meng came out of the inner room carrying bread and other ingredients, and the two demon hunters fell silent.

It didn't take long.

After dinner, the two witchers walked out of the castle and prepared to go back to their respective homes.

"After the crisis in Kaer Morhen is resolved, I will wait for you to say it yourself..."

Vesemir looked at the scattered returns in the distance. Even though he looked tired, he was still laughing and playing, like a carefree apprentice.

He glanced at the young demon hunter next to him who was also young but so tired that his shoulders seemed to be pressed down by the majestic and heavy blue mountains, and paused and said:

"besides……"

"Remember what I said..."

"A lone wolf dies but a pack of wolves survives." Aelin interrupted Vesemir with a smile, "I know."

…

South tower.

"Deng Deng Deng~"

Walking in the closed stone stairwell of the tower, Aylin's mind was still filled with Vesemir's words just now.

"A lone wolf dies but a pack of wolves lives..."

This was the slogan that came to mind when naming the Demon Hunting Corps at the beginning of the year.

Unexpectedly, half a year later, this sentence would appear again, only to be used by Vesemir to persuade the person who created it.

"Eh~"

Thinking of the worried expression on the Master Demon Hunter's face when they separated just now, Aylin felt a little stuffy in his chest and sighed.

The lesser of two evils.

This result is already the best.

Even in his heart, Vesemir is still thinking and worrying about what is the unexplainable monster or disaster ordered by Meriteri that is more powerful than the legendary Wild Hunt.

But the most powerful monsters and disasters he could think of were not on the same level as the white frost.

After all.

Who could have thought that Meliteli would entrust a mortal to accomplish something that even the gods themselves could not do.

Who can resist the end of a world?

Thinking about it, Ailin suddenly had a sense of fate.

Only when the celestial spheres intersect and the magic power of other worlds is introduced can the world be saved, but this ability can only be achieved by him who has the Demon Hunting Notes.

Will it be...

His fate after traveling through time is to resist the white frost and save this world?

"Fate..."

Ailin couldn't help but sighed.

To be honest.

Even as an orphan, he who has been educated in his previous life hates this word.

Hate a certain thread that weaves life, a river that will eventually return to the river no matter how hard you struggle, and a future that is difficult to change no matter how much you travel through time and space...

But now.

He really hopes that his arrival is really controlled by a certain hand of fate.

"You must know that the time of sword and axe is near, it is the era of the winter wolf and snow.

The world will die in the frost and be reborn under the new sun.

Ess'tuath esse! This is inevitable! Pay attention to the signs!

To know what the signs are...

First, Filius Miraculi - the child of miracles - was born in a bitter cold land.

Death and rebirth, non-humans bring blood and fire..."

...

After reciting the long-standing prophecy, opening the Demon Hunter's Notes, Ailin looked at a line on the panel and murmured in a low voice:

"The child of miracles... The child of miracles..."

"If I am really destined to be like the hero in the epic, I will go through all kinds of hardships and twists and turns, but in the end I will definitely complete his innate mission..."

"If it is so... If it is so..."

When I was a child, I watched the animations, comics, and movies provided by the orphanage, and I always hoped that a monster that would destroy peace and destroy the world would suddenly appear in the peaceful and calm reality.

Then as a star of destiny, he would definitely be chosen and gain superpowers.

Then after a hard fight, he destroyed the monsters and saved the world.

But at this time, he was really facing the end of the world.

Ailin, who was actually 30 years old, suddenly hoped that someone could replace him and become the "son of miracle".

Unfortunately, there was no one.

It seemed that only he could save this world...

But...

"Why did the idea change?" Ailin asked himself softly.

After a long time.

Finding that he was a little negative, Ailin slapped his face hard and encouraged himself:

"Don't think too much first, go back and try to maintain the passive of "Beast Roar: Furious", then develop the Demon Hunting Corps, accumulate experience beads, and unlock the way of beast roar..."

"Follow the steps, there will always be a way..."

"Squeak~"

Just as Ailin was encouraging himself, the door not far away suddenly opened and interrupted him.

"Well... Ailin!!!"

A figure rushed over excitedly.
