Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf

The matter of Ban Ade still needs further consideration.

After all, the involvement of the civil joint venture of the Risberg Group is no small matter.

But then again, although the involvement of the Lisberg Group's Civil Partnership and Master Ottolan added variables, it also filled the vacancy left by Heng Gedimides, preventing Ban Ade from collapsing under the harassment of small groups of Wild Hunts.

In a sense, it's a good thing.

“Are you really alright?” Vesemir turned his gaze away from Nenneke’s back as he disappeared down the path and looked at him with a hint of worry. “I mean your condition just now.”

"It's okay." Ailin shook his head, then hesitated for a few seconds and asked, "Can you tell me in detail what happened just now?"

"certainly."

Vesemir responds.

After a moment of silence to collect his thoughts, he recounted the details of the evil god's pressure, the dust that was stirred up, the emerald green primordial magic, and so on.

Ailin's eyes kept changing.

This incident didn’t last long, less than five minutes. If Vesemir and Nenneke hadn’t happened to…

Earlier, Ailin could have received the two people before using the "@#￥%\u0026 element".

Later, Vesemir and Nenneke didn't even have the chance to see anything unusual...

You won't run into them.

After a while, Vesemir finished his narration and saw the changeable look on Arryn's face, and his worry deepened.

"Are you really alright?" he asked, "What alchemical experiment were you doing just now?"

Swallowing the evil god's relics and using himself as an experiment...

Of course, Ayling wouldn't say that.

"It's okay. I'm fine now, right?" He smiled. "As for the experiment, to be honest, I don't know the effect yet. Let me try it myself first..."

Seeing that the worry on Vesemir's face had not disappeared, Ailin thought for a moment and then comforted him:

"Don't worry, it is indeed related to the big-eyed evil god, but it is definitely safe."

"It's just that I'm not sure what the effect will be yet, so I asked about the details just now, so that I can draw inferences from one instance to another and make a comparison."

Vesemir nodded doubtfully.

Vesemir was still easy to fool. They had been together for such a long time, and he had witnessed many big scenes created by Arryn.

It was just a brief moment of pressure from the evil god. Ailin had even summoned the goddess Meliteli.

Moreover, from Vesemir's perspective, Arryn is already an independent individual witcher, and even a witcher master who is equal to him.

Being too concerned is also a form of disrespect.

What’s more…

Everything that happened in the past proved Ailin's maturity and thoughtfulness.

Even the high priest of the Temple of Meliteli was willing to listen to Ailin, so what did he have to worry about?

He didn't say any more about this matter and changed the subject to talk about Ban Ade's changes.

"The kings will probably wait and see for a while," Aelin thought. "Senny is too eager and has shown his weakness. Everyone knows that he wants to replace Heng Gedimides."

"You think Sonny won't take his people away from Ban Ader?" Vesemir pinched the wide-brimmed hat in his hand.

"Probably not unless it's absolutely necessary." Ailin didn't dare to be too firm. "Nenneke just said that the Lisberg Group Civil Partnership Organization only allowed Ben Ade to stay 'temporarily'..."

"And the Lisberg Group Civil Partnership Organization itself is a loose organization, right?"

Arryn looked at Vesemir searchingly.

"That's right," Vesemir nodded. "The Lisberg Group Civil Partnership is, after all, just a few chambers of commerce united together."

"It's different from an ordinary guild, but the leader is a warlock, and the goods sold are mostly magic props, magic potions, magic materials, mutant creatures and other magic-related products."

"They are not as powerful as Ban Ader, Aretuza, and the various druid circles in the Warlock Brotherhood and the Northern Continent."

Aelin nodded. "Do you think Senny will give up his power in Kaedwen?"

“Of course not.” Vesemir shook his head firmly.

"That's actually the problem," Ailin frowned slightly. "The king and the nobles know this, Sonny himself knows this, and the Lisberg Group Civil Partnership Organization knows this as well..."

"But the king and the nobles need Sonny to recruit wizards from the Wizard Academy to garrison Ban Ade and serve as the wall of the northern continent."

"Perhaps Sonny wants to use the Wild Hunt's return to create an urgent situation and shift the focus away from Heng Gedimides' whereabouts."

"That Sberg Group Civilian Partnership Organization, or more precisely, that legendary wizard Ortolan, what does he want?"

"Could it be that we are all members of the same Warlock Brotherhood and we are helping each other?"

“Help each other?” Vesemir interrupted with a sneer. “The Lisberg Group Civil Partnership is not that kind of organization. They are more profit-driven than dwarven bankers.”

"It is said that there are still ideological differences between Ortolan and Heng Gedimides."

"Although I don't know what the specific disagreement is, if the relationship is really that good, Ottolan should also stand on the side of the king and the nobles and question the whereabouts of Heng Gedimides."

Disagreement... Ailin suddenly had an idea and felt that he had grasped the key.

Since Ottolan and Heng Gedimidis have differences, how could Sonny, who belongs to Ban Ade, be connected with the civil partnership of the Risberg Group?

Ottolan even ignored the faces of many kings and nobles of the Northern Kingdom and openly protected him.

"Is Ottolan connected to Sonny?" Ailin asked.

“Contact?” Vesemir paused as he stroked his wide-brimmed hat. He pondered for a while, but was still unsure. “I don’t think there is any connection…”

"Sonny is the vice president of the Wizard Academy and stays in Ban Ade all year round. The civil partnership of the Risberg Group is located on the border of Temeria and Sidaris. The two are far apart and almost span the entire northern continent..."

"What about the Wizards' Council?" Ailin asked. "I heard that the Wizards' Council holds various council meetings every year, and Sonny and Ottolan don't have the opportunity to attend the council meetings..."

“That probably won’t happen,” Vesemir denied. “The Council is just a name. In fact, there is no such place in the Northern Continent. It is basically held at Ban Ade College every year.”

"Heng Gedimides does often preside over the meetings, but even I know that Ottolan hasn't been to Ban Ader for a long time."

"That's why the rumor spread that Hen Gedimides and Ottolan were at odds and had different ideologies."

Weisermil paused, then continued:

"Of course, this is just a rumor."

"The warlocks are a very lazy bunch. Heng Gedimides and Ottolan are much older than Chief Soi."

"Heng Gedimides may have to attend the council because it is held in Ban Ade."

"Ottolan can't say for sure. It's just because the distance is too far and he's too lazy to go."

"Given their age and status, no one can restrain them."

"I heard, just heard..."

Vesemir looked around and lowered his voice:

"Except for Tissaia de Vries, who fights for the interests of sorceresses and attends the conference every year, the other two members of the Association of Talent and Art, Narcisse de la Roche and Bon Drummond, do not often go to Ban Ader."

"It is said that every ten years, all warlocks, druids, and representatives of those in power will attend the conference. I must attend it."

Aelin asked curiously, "Are there any rumors that Narcissus de la Roche and Bon Drummond are at odds with Heng Gedimides?"

"It seems... not." Vesemir frowned.

Then Ottolando probably really has some conflicts with Heng Gedimides... Ailin thought.

When he read the novel in his previous life, he had some understanding of Ottolan.

In fact, in the description of the book, Ottolan was not in conflict with Heng Gedimides, but with the Brotherhood of Warlocks.

Unlike most wizards, Ortolan focused on popularizing magic throughout his life. He believed that the convenience brought by supernatural powers should be shared with the general public to promote the overall progress of society. To achieve this goal, he came up with many inventions.

Although there are many legendary ideas among them, it is difficult for them to be truly popularized. Many products put the cart before the horse and are difficult to achieve convenience and cheapness, and always remain in the prototype stage.

The failure actually boosted Ottolan's fighting spirit, but the result did not change.

After many failures, Ortolan suspected that some people in the Warlock Brotherhood were jealous of him, or that some people preferred magic to be controlled by the elite, that is, the wizards and sorceresses themselves, so they were unwilling to promote it on a large scale.

This is not surprising.

There are always people who want to be superior and use various restrictions to distinguish themselves from others.

In fact, the radical faction led by Senny himself is just such a group that advocates that warlocks are superior to mortals and should use the power of magic to guide humans.

I just don't know why these two concepts, which should be mutually exclusive, have merged in this world.

But then again, although Ottolan, who advocates the popularization of magic, sounds quite enlightened, he is not a good person at heart.

Although he is committed to benefiting mankind through inventions, he is only referring to the broad "human" group in his mind.

In fact, the Ortolan family's research on biological modification has created many monsters that roam the world and kill many civilians.

To Ortolan, these civilians are merely expendable costs, necessary sacrifices for the future of humanity.

A Frankenstein-like madman, this is how Ellin describes him.

Of course, those were things that happened a hundred years later, and they were things in the book.

He didn't know what Ottolan was like now.

"For us in the Wolf School, our stance on the matter of Ban Ader is similar to that of the kings and nobles of the northern continent," Ailin analyzed. "We all hope to have a force strong enough to stop the Wild Hunt."

"But at the same time..."

"The Wolf School, which is very close to Ban Ade, needs the wall of Ban Ade more than any other faction..."

"Don't you have to consider the Temple of Meliteli?" The honest Vesemir heard Arryn mentioning the Wolf School and put on the brown wide-brimmed hat uncomfortably on his head.

What Ailin is thinking about now is not actually the opinion of the Wolf School.

The opinion of the Wolf School carries no weight in this matter, and no one will listen... well... except the Temple of Meliteli.

What Ailin is thinking about now is actually the opinions expressed by the Temple of Meliteli and the attitude of the temple.

Using the temple's authority to cater to the Wolf School's interests seems... not a good idea.

"High Priestess Ianna trusts you so much, there's no need..." Vesemir hesitated.

"No need." Ailin shook his head. "Since Sister Ianna has given me the decision-making power, she naturally believes that the interests of the temple and the interests of the Wolf School are not in conflict."

"And the Temple of Meliteli doesn't need to worry about anything in this matter."

As a demon hunter who had met the goddess Meliteli, no one understood the interests of the temple better than him.

Solving the white frost is the fundamental demand of the temple, and the key to solving the white frost is him, according to Meliteli, so his demand is the demand of the temple.

With this in mind, Ianna's decision was in line with her identity as the high priestess of the goddess Meliteli.

certainly.

Meliteli is Meliteli, and the temple is the temple, but there is actually a big difference between them.

therefore.

Ailin was very grateful for Ianna's favor.

"You still need to be careful." Vesemir reminded.

Ailin nodded: "Don't worry, I understand."

After that.

There was silence in the cabin for a while, as the two witchers were thinking about the possible impact of the intrusion of the civil partnership of the Risberg Group.

Ailin wondered if Ortolan, who was so obsessed with human body modification, would be interested in the body of the demon source Heng Gedimidis...

Then he speculated that Ottolan might also covet Ben Ade's wealth. Sonny might have offered a large amount of wealth, precious magic materials or other treasures...

"Too little information." Ailin shook his head, and then suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.

That’s right…

information!

Doesn't Elland have a good person to ask about the inside story?

"Is Lady Tissaia still in the temple?" Ailin looked at Vesemir.

“I’m not sure,” Vesemir shook his head. “They don’t live in the temple. It seems that the old duke has always been the one entertaining them. Do you want to ask her?”

He frowned and said, “Tissaya de Vries is not a bad person, but you’d better stay away from her.”

"Just asking some questions," Ailin said.

Vesemir nodded, looked at the night outside the window, and didn't persuade him any further: "That will have to wait until tomorrow. Tomorrow I will go with you..."

Vesemir was interrupted by the faint sound of fighting in the distance.

It must be Erni and the others who have returned.

"I'll go with you tomorrow. Go to bed early. I'll check on those troublesome little guys." Vesemir stood up and said goodbye.

Ailin nodded and stood up to see him off.

"Bang~"

The wooden door closed gently.

Listening to the sudden scolding and complaints outside, Ailin curled the corners of his mouth and stopped thinking about Ben Ade's mess.

I listened to the friendly interaction between the master witcher and the young witcher for a while.

After they all returned to their rooms, everything around the cabin became completely quiet.

Ailin let out a long sigh and opened the Demon Hunting Notes.
