God-level Demon Hunter

Cohen exchanged glances with the teacher and asked,

"You mentioned the Witcher Brotherhood earlier?"

"Yes, we co-founded this organization," Roy said, "to be precise, plus a sorceress..."

"Even members from one school cannot gather in large numbers in one place for a long time." Keldah shook his head, staring deeply into his strange-colored pupils, "If the three of Geralt were to stay with Viser all day That old Mir guards Kaer Morhen, and they're sure to go mad."

"Not to mention demon hunters who have been instilled with different ideas and received different trainings since they were young, and have different tempers and personalities. They come from different schools of thought."

With a confident smile on his face, Roy drank the broth calmly and spoonful by spoonful.

"Put these contradictions aside for the time being." Kelda tapped the desk with his index finger, "What is the purpose of gathering such a large number of demon hunters together? What are the considerations?"

Roy put down his fork.

"One demon hunter is enough to deal with a small group of elite soldiers, and twelve are nothing less than a serious safety hazard." Kelda continued, "The managers of Novigrad will never let them go."

"What's more, there is a spell caster intervening."

Iggesena folded her hands nervously in front of her belly.

And Cohen crossed his hands to support his chin, and every acne scar under his short black beard looked serious.

"The purpose of the Demon Hunter Brotherhood is very simple. As the previous two said, the number of monsters has plummeted, and there are fewer and fewer commissions for demon hunters to support themselves. No matter which school, no new school has been born in the past 20 years. Apprentices, it seems that demon hunters are about to withdraw from the stage of history." Roy smiled happily and said loudly,

"The purpose of the Brotherhood is to reverse this decline! Let the group of demon hunters develop and grow, and they will no longer suffer unreasonable criticism and insults from the people, and bear unwarranted charges."

"Our twelve brothers gather together for the purpose of equality, mutual assistance, unity and development, and strive for this goal!"

"As for the senior management of Novigrad that Master Kelda is worried about, they have already reached a cooperative relationship with us, and there is no reason to embarrass the demon hunter."

"Are you participating in the political game?" Kelda's gentle temperament changed suddenly, the amber pupils burst into flames, and his body tensed up instantly.

Roy's face was calm, and he looked at him with clear eyes, "Do you think that helping a city deal with some security issues and arresting human traffickers counts as participating in politics?"

Kelda shook his head and smiled, and relaxed again.

"The Brotherhood of Demon Hunters has established a firm foothold in Nordic City, and is training apprentices and improving formulas in an orderly manner. Let the children pass the trial of green grass safely without being hurt by those troublesome side effects."

Roy's tone paused, and his eyes slowly swept over the two of the same kind.

"I don't want to ramble on with you two. The Brotherhood of Demon Hunters has made a huge breakthrough. Not long ago, a nine-year-old boy survived unharmed after drinking the Leo decoction. Grass trial."

"Became the No.12 official demon hunter of the Brotherhood."

Kelda's cheek muscles twitched, and she changed into a more comfortable position, crossing her arms around her chest.

But Cohen was refreshed and straightened his back.

Only Iggesena looked blank, she couldn't quite understand what the witcher was talking about.

"But if the Brotherhood wants to continue to develop, there are far from enough manpower at present..." Roy continued, "So I came here, one to visit Kyle Siren, pay homage to the ancient monuments, and to a master demon hunter, The Guardians of the Academy pay their respects."

"Secondly, I invite the two of you to get together in Nuocheng, visit the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Brotherhood, and share some experiences by the way. Inside the Demon Hunter Brotherhood, potion formulas, grass decoction formulas, magic seals, and equipment blueprints All open." Roy said not without temptation,

"We've found a set of Griffin equipment blueprints in Velen in Temeria."

Cohen's face changed slightly upon hearing this.

"If the last two are willing to join the Brotherhood and unite as one, they will naturally be perfect. If not—Master Keldar," Roy said sincerely, "You are a profound scholar, you know more than Master Vesemir, and you have mastered Follow the mysteries of the Griffin School."

"Can you contribute to the group of demon hunters?"

"Master Vesemir is also a member of the Brotherhood."

Old Kelda's face didn't change much, he was still frowning deeply, but he held the handle of the swivel chair tightly.

And Cohen took a deep breath and glanced at his teacher.

"North City is more prosperous than Long Exeter, and has a larger resident population. Are you going to conduct the grass trial there, are you not afraid of being discovered?"

"Besides, where do fraternity apprentices come from, by the law of accident alone?"

……

"The Demon Hunter Brotherhood held the Grass Trial, but they didn't torture those children, but treated them as family members, and never violated the laws of Nordic City... Naturally, no one discovered it."

"As for the source of the child," Roy smiled, "Good question! This is the important point. The Brotherhood of Demon Hunters has established an orphanage in Nuocheng..."

"Adopt this group of orphans who have been displaced and tortured by wandering. Our purpose will never violate the chivalry of the Griffin Sect - we rescue orphans, and select children who have talent and perseverance and have that will to participate in Demon Hunter Trial."

"Currently there are [-] students in the orphanage, and witcher apprentices account for a quarter of them."

"One of them has successfully passed the trial."

"The number of orphans will at least double next year!"

Roy's strange-colored pupils seemed to be burning with flames, and his tone was full of pride. Gorfin also sat up straight under his feet, looking around with his small head, showing off his eyes.

"You two may not believe it... The main task of members of the Brotherhood is no longer to travel around, collect money and hunt monsters... but to be teachers, train students, teach them to read and write, or farm, hunt , forging, medical knowledge, alchemy skills."

"All children enjoy fair treatment in the orphanage, learn knowledge together, share food, and play happily, just like a lively and extraordinary family!"

"Even if they don't become demon hunter apprentices, they will be able to rely on the skills they learned in the orphanage to support themselves and become useful talents for this society in the future!"

Cohen imagined that scene in his mind, took a breath, and he came to the five houses that were frighteningly quiet from the beginning of Kyle Siren, only himself and his teacher.

He had never seen such a bustling Witcher Academy, and he had a faint expectation in his heart.

But soon the teacher's perennial teaching about the laws of nature made him suppress his restlessness.

As for Iggesena, she became inexplicably envious after hearing it.

If she had lived in such an orphanage when she was a child, she might have been happier than being with an unreliable father.

Then maybe she has set up shop in the city.

Kelda remained unmoved, and he opened the second book "Keys to Protracted War"

……

"Roy...you should know how bad the reputation of demon hunters is. How do the folks describe us? A mutant who drinks blood, a trafficker who steals children, a monster that eats people..." Cohen took a deep breath, feeling uneasy Expressed doubts, "How could a child volunteer to participate in the trial?"

"You haven't suffered from being a vagabond, have you?" Roy shook his head. "Being a witcher's apprentice is much happier than being a vagabond. What's more, the reputation of a witcher in Nuocheng is better than other places."

"The Brotherhood has been working hard to reverse the public's negative impression of the witcher, and it has achieved initial results."

This is also thanks to the song and dance hall, and the massive arrest of human traffickers in conjunction with the Eternal Flame.

"But where does your money come from?" Iggesena interrupted suddenly, "Master Roy, I don't understand other places, but in a bustling metropolis, to build an orphanage and provide children with a series of Good education. Costs a fortune."

"Your research on the improved formula is another huge expenditure." Cohen continued.

"The Brotherhood runs a small business in Nordic...a pharmacy and a dance hall." Roy said, "There is no rule that witchers are not allowed to do business, right?"

"Next year, pharmacies will continue to expand."

"The money earned is enough to support our actions." Roy concluded,

"This era is constantly changing, and the Brotherhood follows the trend and keeps pace with the times to develop to where it is today!"

……

Start the charity of the orphanage, teach students, join hands with official organizations to catch traffickers, and run shops.

Except for the second one, which one has something to do with the witcher?

Cohen rubbed his cheeks, his lips moved, and he hesitated to speak.

And Iggesena, with her eyes shining, completely forgot about the majestic Kelda.

Quietly took his lover's arm.

"Roy, you're young, sharp-tongued, no wonder Vesemir asked you to come here alone." Kelda shook his head and sighed, "Why did the Brotherhood create so many witchers? Don't tell me. I'm just developing the group of witchers."

His tone became elusive, as if he was telling the hidden truth, "300 years ago, countless monsters ravaged the world, and people were devastated. Only then did mages study mutations and create the first batch of demon hunters."

"When the world needs it, demon hunters emerge as the times require, develop and grow stronger, and take saving the common people as their mission to eliminate monsters... But now, there are fewer and fewer monsters, the people no longer need demon hunters, and there are no large numbers of demon hunters. The necessity of...continue to develop and grow, but it will disrupt the laws of operation of the entire world."

"Master Kelda... Do you think so? Demon hunters exist for others?! Human vassals?"

This kind of concept is simply more extreme than the idea that the Wolf School rejected the Green Grass Trial in the first place.

Roy stood up with a puzzled expression, his strange pupils swept across Kelda's amber eyes.

He was indifferent.

Swipe over Cohn.

He sat up straight miraculously and listened attentively.

"I don't think so!" Roy shook his head, his voice sonorous and forceful, "Demon hunters are an independent group, just like human reproduction, it is also an instinct for demon hunters to create the same kind."

"Affecting the country's politics? Or becoming a thug of a gang? A mercenary in the army? Neither!"

"We just want to have a united group of the same kind and get rid of discrimination!"

"A demon hunter is a demon hunter!" he hissed. "The eyes are like animals, and they have the skills, senses, immunity, and lifespan far beyond ordinary people, but they can't reproduce."

"Just like you, Master Kelda, if there is no need for the existence of demon hunters, then why did you introduce Koen into the way of demon hunters?"

"That's why I only took one apprentice..." Kelda leisurely flipped through the book, "One is enough to inherit my mantle and protect Kyle Siren."

Roy was stunned for a moment, and for the first time, he felt a sense of powerlessness as his fist hit the cotton.

For the first time, he realized that there were such recalcitrant seniors.

It seems that he is not a witcher, but a bystander of history.

"Come on, kid, don't waste your time talking to me, even if you say my ears are callused, I won't go with you to Novigrad." Kelda said, "For Vesemir's sake , you can stay in Kyle Siren for a few days..."

"I'll let Cohen communicate with you the knowledge of sigils, swordsmanship, monsters and alchemy."

"But don't indoctrinate us with the idea of ​​the so-called Brotherhood of Witchers. It won't work with the Griffins."

Golfing collapsed at his master's feet.

Roy hesitated, turned around and glanced at Cohen, whose face was slightly flushed and stunned, thoughtfully.

If the old one doesn't work, try the young one!

Chapter 6 Past

into the night.

The dark sky and the two bright moons on the sea complement each other, and the snow in the vestibule of Kyle Siren is gleaming white.

The entire Julong Mountain Range is silent, only the sound of the night wind passing over the snow slopes, and the sound of the tide of the endless sea below the cliff beating against the rocks.

Iggesena, who had traveled for half a day, was exhausted and went to her room early to rest.

And Cohen took the teacher's order, took Roy, took a breath in the snow outside the house, visited the library and the simple alchemy room beyond Roy's imagination, and told him about the past of the ruins by the way.

"Dude, tell me about the glorious history of the Griffin School and the Kyle Sirens... how did it come about?" Roy knelt down and put Golfin on the snow, and the little one immediately disappeared into the night, far away Immediately, a soaring black shadow appeared in the sky.

"You are asking the right person. The teacher told me about this history countless times and asked me to memorize it by heart. Have you seen that stone tablet during the day?" Cohen gathered his neckline, and the cold wind blew him Sniffing, "It was the elf mage who first discovered this magical land and erected a stone tablet in the courtyard."

"Later, around the beginning of the eleventh century, our..." He paused, squatted down, and patted the snow, "The creator, Archmage Azulie, led a group of subordinates to build this castle... as you As you can see, most of the buildings are now buried under our feet."

"However, the original mages used the Kyle Siren as an experimental field to continue the experiment on the mutation of the demon hunter..."

"But the experiment was not very successful...the corpses of many failed experiments are piled up in the lobby, as well as the ghosts of those who have not yet become demon hunters and the curse brought by death."

"Azulie led the mages to abandon this ominous place...to pursue a new career."

Roy breathed heavily towards the palm of his hand, feeling a little uncomfortable. Those founders don't seem to be good people, and their methods are cruel...Treating humans as experimental products, discarding them after use...

"Almost at the same time, the Demon Hunter Order split, and the Demon Hunters with different ideas went their separate ways."

Ke En continued, the three-color pupils reflected the moonlight, and the whole person was shocked,

"Elan of Larvik led thirteen like-minded comrades in arms, followed the footsteps of the founder Azulie to the Kyle Siren, cleaned and buried the corpses in the castle, and swore sovereignty over the Kyle Siren, Established his own school. In order to commemorate the mentor who had a profound influence on him, a knight named 'Griffin', Grandmaster Ellan decided to name the school after him."

"Grandmaster Ellan created a set of combat methods that focused on pre-battle preparation, flexibility, and the use of magic, and began to train demon hunters of the Griffin School."

"At the same time, use "The Noble Spirit of Knights" and "Guide to Knights' Virtues" to educate his disciples. This is also one of the purposes of His Excellency Elan's establishment of the school."

Roy's eyelids twitched.

"He hopes to use this to change the impression that ordinary people have of demon hunters. He hopes that one day, people will let go of their prejudices and sincerely express their respect and gratitude to demon hunters."

Roy paced slowly, and once again looked at the low fortress with only a few rooms behind him.

Inexplicably felt a force.

Griffins are definitely idealists.
