Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

The person who reported was just an ordinary nun in the temple. Aelin, Ianna and Nenneke did not show any abnormality and continued to walk towards the door.

However, the hurried steps, dilated pupils, pursed lips, frowned and other small movements all showed that the three people were not calm.

Even Ianna, who had just guessed the truth, was the same.

Hen Gedimidis was in trouble, and Hen Gedimidis was dead. They were two completely different things.

The power struggle, distribution of interests, war situation, and even the comparison of national strength will undergo earth-shaking changes.

A point that is closely related to everyone...

How can humans stop the Wild Hunt when they can kill Hen Gedimidis, the most powerful and oldest in the northern continent, in Ban Ade College?

The moonlight that covered the world was covered by clouds.

The deep darkness that the lantern could not illuminate cast a layer of haze over everything, making it difficult to see clearly.

"Da Da Da~"

The group just passed the statue at the entrance of the temple, and the old duke heard the noise. He didn't care about the saying that "Meliteli is a female god" at all, and immediately came to meet them with his cane.

Seeing Alin beside Ianna, he was stunned for a moment, and his tired old face forced a far-fetched smile:

"Alin, are you healed?"

"Completely healed, you can join the commission tomorrow."

"Well, there's no need to rush for the commission..." The old duke paused, "You are also a master of the wolf school, this is just right... this is just right..."

Then he glanced at the nun who reported.

"Talia, you go back first." Nannick said.

"Yes, Priest Nennek."

As soon as the nun disappeared into the darkness around the corner of the statue with the lamp in her hand, the old duke immediately looked at Ianna and asked impatiently:

"Ianna, did you know that the Wild Hunt attacked Ban Ade nine days ago?"

"I don't know." Ianna remained calm and asked, "Just now, Talia said that something big happened in Ban Ade. Is Hen Gedimidis dead?"

"Those damned Wild Hunt went to Ban Ade after leaving Elland," the old duke said solemnly, "Those hypocritical wizards are much worse off than us. The whole city is gone."

"Except for the wizards and apprentices in the academy, the humans in Ban Ade at that time..."

The old duke glanced at the kind statue of Meliteli and took a deep breath, as if he hoped to borrow some strength and courage from the sacredness of the temple to speak out the cruel reality.

"No one survived," he repeated, "Not a single person, Ianna, not a single person..."

"Whether it was the guards who defended the city, the merchants, the craftsmen, or the nobles, from the babbling babies to the toothless old women..."

"In one night, nearly 20,000 people died, all of them died in the fire that burned the city, set off by those demons despised by the gods."

The statues of the young girl, the pregnant woman, and the old woman of Meliteli suddenly fell into a dead silence.

The old duke, who had been a soldier all his life, was panting heavily, with unspeakable fear and extreme horror hidden in his breath.

Alin looked down at his toes, silent and wondering what he was thinking.

Ianna and Nenneke, who had long known the tragic scene of the burning of Ben Ade but did not know the details, could not help but purse their lips tightly and look at the statue.

What a sin it was!

Just hearing it, the sea of ​​blood and corpses seemed to stretch before their eyes, and the bloody smell was so strong that it covered the unique tulpa fragrance of the temple.

Looking at the statue of Meliteli, Nenneke instinctively wanted to suggest that they discuss the matter in another place, fearing that the bloody death that came out of her mouth would defile the statue.

But as soon as this idea came into her mind, she was cut off.

If she really did so, it would be a true blasphemy against Meliteli, the mother of all things!

The silence lasted for a long time.

Everyone needed time to calm down and digest this news.

"You said that Heng Gedimides was dead." Ianna blinked slowly, "Who brought this news?"

"A wizard named Sonny." The old duke said.

Hearing this name, Aylin's ears moved slightly and looked up at the old duke.

"Agatha (the court sorcerer advisor of Elland) said that he is the real wizard of Ban Ade," the old duke paused, looked at Arlin, and added, "The faction that Sonny belongs to is called the radical faction. According to Agatha, the attitude towards the Wolf School is very unfriendly..."

"When you return to Kaer Morhen, you'd better remind the Great Master Soi..."

Seeing that Arlin looked strange, Ianna and Nenneke also frowned, and he asked curiously: "What's wrong?"

Before Arlin spoke, Ianna said bitterly:

"Before coming to Elland, Sonny had sent people to hunt down Arlin and Vesemir."

The old duke raised his eyebrows and looked at Arlin: "Why?"

"There is no reason," Arlin shook his head, "It's just because we happened to pass by Ban Ade, so you are right, Sonny's faction does have a very bad attitude towards the Wolf School."

The old duke was silent, holding the black cane with his right hand and rubbing the handle.

"Don't worry about it," Aylin waved his hand. "I think Ban Ade doesn't have the energy to care about us witchers now. Please continue. Did Sunny tell you about the death of Hen Gedimidis?"

"Elland will always stand on the same side with her hero."

The old duke patted Aylin's shoulder hard, promised softly, and then continued:

"The news of Hen Gedimides' death was not told by Sunny."

"He just came to us..." The old duke looked at Ianna, "mainly to ask for help from the Temple of Meliteli, hoping to use Meliteli's influence in the northern continent to stop the subjects who left Ban Ade from fleeing and return to their hometown..."

"Wishful thinking!" Nennek snorted coldly.

What return to hometown?

It's just that there is a lack of people to clean up the ruins and rebuild the city.

And it will kill many people.

"The temple can't do this." Ianna refused expressionlessly.

The old duke didn't say anything, and he didn't think the temple would agree to this request, and continued:

"The second request: The doctors and herbalists of the Temple of Meliteli are famous in the northern continent, and he hopes to hire some of them."

"The third request: I hope the temple can unite the countries in the northern continent to promote the war between Kaedwen and Aedirn."

After speaking.

The old duke looked at Ianna quietly.

The cost of the telescope is not small, and the farther the distance, the higher the cost.

Although Sonny maintained the usual hypocritical interests of wizards and spoke thoughtfully.

But in fact, the old duke knew that Elland's opinion was not important to Ban Ade, he was just a middleman.

What Sonny really cared about was the idea of ​​the Meliteli Temple, that is, Ianna's idea and position.

As for Ianna's position...

The high priest of the Meliteli Temple glanced at Aylin, blinked slowly, and said: "The temple has never forced the doctors and herbalists who came to study. As long as they are willing, they can be freely hired by any force..."

That means they don't agree... The old duke also glanced at Aylin and resisted the urge to roll his eyes.

It's like no one knows how popular his knights are in the temple.

Arthur and Sarah, especially Arthur, have heard from their young men many times...

Last month, when the doctors and herbalists of the temple treated citizens, guards and soldiers, they frequently asked the guards knights and the demon hunters about Aylin's heroic appearance on May Day.

It is well known that wizards and demon hunters do not get along.

How could they take the initiative to go to Ban Ade.

"Let's not talk about the third request first. Let's talk about the death of Hen Gedimidis first," Ianna changed the subject, "Since Sonny didn't tell you, where did you know it from?"

"Okay," the old duke nodded slightly, organized his words for a few seconds, and said:

"According to Sonny, Hen Gedimidis is still in seclusion to heal his injuries. He was just nominated by Ban Ade to handle affairs temporarily..."

"But..." Ianna interrupted, "Just say the but after that..."

"I was just about to say it."

The old duke He poked the ground with his cane in dissatisfaction, making three or four small holes in the solid ground:

"But... hum... but others don't think so."

"The reason why I came in the middle of the night is to wait for Agatha to collect more information."

"A wizard inside Ban Ade revealed that after Heng Gedimidis released the forbidden spell to drive away the Wild Hunt, he was injured by a sneak attack due to excessive consumption. He didn't have time to manage the affairs of the academy, so he hurriedly closed up to recover."

"Then why do you say he is dead?" Nannick asked curiously.

"Because of something that happened six days ago." The old duke said.

"The radical faction that Sonny belongs to originally lived in harmony with other factions, at least there was no major conflict under the disaster."

"But in the early morning of six days ago, Sonny brought a large group of radical wizards and suddenly blocked the place where Heng Gedimidis was in seclusion, not allowing anyone to approach."

"When the wizards of other factions found something wrong, they rushed in by force, and the place where Heng Gedimidis was in seclusion had disappeared."

"Disappeared?" The other three said in unison.

The old duke nodded slightly: "Yes, it disappeared. According to the source, the dean's office of Ban Ade, where Hen Gedimidis was in seclusion, was directly dug out."

"Then Sonny used an illusion of the dean's office that looked like a telescope to hold the entire academy hostage on the pretext of protecting Hen Gedimidis."

"Then Hen Gedimidis is not dead either." Nenneke questioned.

Ianna looked at Aylin thoughtfully, who was also thoughtful.

"Because many core wizards of the radical faction disappeared at the same time..." The old duke continued, "Nearly twenty, not only from the intermediate council, but also from the senior council."

"Does it take so many people to protect a recuperating Hen Gedimidis?"

"Many wizards of Ban Ade believe that the radical faction attacked Hen Gedimidis in order to seize power, and nearly twenty people died."

"It's just because of uncertainty now, so other wizards are a little cautious..."

"It happened six days ago?" Ianna interrupted suddenly.

The old duke was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully for a while, frowned and said: "Yes, six days ago in the early morning, is there any problem?"

Alin felt two eyes with complex emotions, secretly projected on his face.

But he pretended not to see it, and instead changed the subject to the old duke: "The twenty people who disappeared could not have been sent out for other things?"

The old duke was fooled.

"Impossible!" He said with certainty, "Ban Ade just suffered a disaster, what could require a dozen warlocks from the senior and intermediate councils?"

"The Wild Hunt was just dispersed. Not only is there a high risk of running around, but I just said that these dozen people are the core and middle of the radical faction. It is impossible for them to escape."

"What's more, Sonny himself, together with other wizards of the radical faction, hesitated about the whereabouts of the missing faction members, and the excuses they made were full of mistakes and omissions. It is obvious that they have something to hide."

"Of course..."

The old duke made a patch: "It's not completely impossible. After all, my source of information is the analysis of wizards from other factions of Ben Ade relayed by Agatha."

"The possibility of factional struggle and deliberate spreading of rumors cannot be ruled out."

"But if everything is true, then I really can't think of any possibility that Heng Gedimidis can survive."

It is well-reasoned, the rules are clear, and the logic is smooth...

If he didn't really know that the ten wizards died in front of him, and even some of them had just been seen a few days ago, Arlin would never have doubted it.

However...

Even if he didn't die now, under Sonny's "protection", could Heng Gedimidis really survive?

Ailin expressed doubts about this.

Although no "magic source" was opened from the "warlock's memory" in the following days except the first day, at least four of the wizards who died on that day were in the "magic source" plan.

They selected the best from the best, and spent at least two years carefully arranging courses and personally tutoring.

Even according to the battle situation seven days ago, the "magic source" plan should have failed.

But no matter how you look at it, these dead wizards are also "direct disciples" of Heng Gedimidis, or it is possible that they are "direct disciples" whose talents were completely delayed because of his plan.

Heng Gedimidis is not a ruthless and cold person.

If he really recovers and takes power again.

Will he really forgive Sonny and the radicals for the deaths of so many wizards because of his selfishness?

How is it possible!

At least Ailin doesn't believe it, maybe Sonny himself doesn't believe it.

Otherwise, when this great enemy was just expelled and issued a declaration of war again, it was just when they needed to unite all forces. How could they do such a thing as kidnapping Heng Gedimidis?

Their rights, wealth, status, and even their lives all come from Ban Ade. Aren't they afraid that Ban Ade will fall apart?

"Hen Gedimidis has a 90% chance of dying at Sonny's hands." He thought.

So here comes the question.

Ban Ade is now at the forefront of the "battlefield" with the Wild Hunt. What will happen if the strongest fighter, Hen Gedimidis, is gone?

Both the wizard and the Wild Hunt are powerful enemies.

Should he do something?
