Because of me?

Ailin's pupils shrank, his lips were dry and his tongue was dry.

How could his identity be exposed like this?

Even the king of Kedwen knows his identity Child of Miracle?

"Gulu~"

Ailin swallowed instinctively.

Wrong!

Sadia Although he stared at him, it didn't look like he had seen through his identity.

After calming down.

Ailin realized the problem within a few seconds.

"Care is chaos," he thought to himself.

King Kedwen hunted Sadia and Hodon for ten years because of him, a demon hunter who had nothing to do with them.

This makes no sense whatsoever.

Sadia withdrew his gaze, looked at Hodon's grave and continued:

"You may not have heard of it, this is Prophetess Ithlinne's Prophecy."

"Haxor is precisely because of this prophecy that he will keep chasing us..."

Sure enough.

Follow the tone of Sadia.

The Child of Miracle she was talking about must not be me!

But then the witcher couldn't help but ask:

"So who is Child of Miracle?"

Sadia glanced at him and did not reply directly, but continued to tell her story.

Ailin had no choice but to continue listening obediently.

but.

After learning that Haxor was full of hostility towards Child of Miracle, a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

This made him listen to the story of Sadia, while he couldn't help but think about the impact of this incident on him and the school.

"I got the gem under the guidance of fate, and I am about to leave Shaer Lavhed."

"But I didn't expect that the new king, Haxor, would arrange an army outside the ruins for some reason..."

"At that time."

"Aelirenn Uprising A long time has passed. I have lived in the human world for decades, and I never thought that Kedwen's new king would actually target me."

"So there is no suspense... I can only rely on magic props to cast a few ordinary spells, and I was caught."

"Then what?" Ailin's curiosity was aroused.

"Then I met Hodon."

Sadia gently stroked the soil in front of Hodon's grave, and his tone suddenly became much softer:

"At that time, Hodon was fulfilling his recruitment obligations to the king on behalf of Hudson."

"When I was caught and put in a cage, it was he who recognized me and secretly let me out."

"Recognized you?" Ailin wondered, "Isn't this the first time you've met?"

Sadia nodded.

"In the past few years, I have treated his mother's illness."

"But he was still very young at that time, about eleven or twelve years old."

"After recognizing me, he once asked the nobles in the army at the time why I was being hunted, defended me, and hoped to release me."

"Even..."

"After the little noble in the army asked the military wizard to remove my illusion disguise..."

"Hodon looked for opportunities to steal my magic items without hesitation, and then took me to escape."

"Just because you once treated his mother?" Ailin was a little unbelievable.

Just treating a disease doesn't seem like committing such a serious crime in order to save others.

"No!"

Sadia shook his head, smiled slyly, and then faded away the illusion on his body:

"And because I'm pretty."

"Ah?" Ailin was stunned for a moment.

The answer was beyond his expectation.

He also thought that Sadia didn't just treat illnesses, maybe she saved Hodon's mother's life.

"The little noble in the army didn't expect that after letting the wizard take off my illusion disguise, it would actually make Hodon lustful."

"Of course..."

"Hodon always emphasized that it was love at first sight..."

"The reckless man who took advantage of the situation suddenly rescued me from the military camp without considering the consequences..."

The witcher was silent.

This reason is a bit ridiculous, a bit outrageous, but...

He took a look at Sadia who had taken off the illusion disguise and made the ordinary peasant woman's coarse linen apron appear graceful, luxurious, natural and fresh.

Such Sadia fascinated a young and unmarried knight who was born as a groom...

It seems very reasonable.

Thinking of the beautiful past, Sadia looked up at the bright moon in ecstasy.

Under the cold moonlight, the elf is reflected even more out of the ordinary.

"Escape from the military camp without a plan and recklessly will not end well."

"After that, we have been hunted by Kedwen's army."

"But now that I think about it, even though I was worried and embarrassed every day at that time, Hodon always found opportunities to take me to appreciate the beautiful scenery in the world."

Sadia The corners of his mouth raised slightly, with a faint smile on his face.

"It was also at that time that I accepted Hodon's proposal in a field full of chamomiles."

Next.

Sadia stopped talking. She closed her eyes, as if she was savoring the sweetness of her memory.

After a while.

She just opened her eyes, frowned slightly, and continued:

"The good times are fleeting."

"Kedwen's army is chasing us tighter and tighter."

"There is no other way, Hodon took me to Viscount Hudson."

"He and Mrs. Viscount are the most upright and kind-hearted human beings I have ever seen, except for the old priest Temple of Melitele."

"Doubts and temptations ended after Hodon told me that I used to be a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded in various places."

"Viscount Hudson accepted us without hesitation even if he knew my identity, Ain El."

"He gave us shelter and gave us cover from the armies sent by the king to search."

"He did not live up to Hodon's trust. We..." Sadia paused and frowned even more, "But he brought disaster to them."

Sadia's speaking speed gradually increased, as if he wanted to quickly pass over this embarrassing memory.

"Kedwen's new king, Haxor, is even more despicable than his grandfather."

"Together with the wizard Ben Ad, who knew the existence of the gem at some point, they raided Viscount's castle while I was pregnant and defenseless."

"Eventually..."

"In order to protect us and Mrs. Viscount, Lyra..."

"Viscount Hudson is dead."

"His body and soul, like those of other innocent people in the castle, were tracked by wizards using forbidden necromancy and the evil weapon Melekh's Ring of Grudges."

"Can't rest!"

"Hodon wanted to resist the enemy with Viscount Hudson, but I forcibly used gems to teleport to the abandoned mine..."

"After the transmission, I saw the miserable condition of Viscount Hudson's family who was implicated by us. His hair turned gray almost overnight, and his physical and mental condition deteriorated from bad to worse."

"He is obviously less than forty years old, but he is aging as if he is sixty or seventy."

"This is the result of me forcing myself to use illusion to seal his memory."

"I also gave birth to my children under the cold and cold abandoned mine..."

Sadia tilted his head and looked at Ailin:

"My Child of Miracle."

The witcher was silent upon hearing this.

Half-elf - Half-elf bloodline, half human bloodline.

Satisfy the "inhuman person" in the prophecy of "Child of Miracle".

Sadia happens to give birth in an abandoned mine. Although "Bitter Cold" is a bit reluctant, it can still be hooked.

In addition, the second half of the prophecy that I just heard this time is closely related to the elves.

really.

Sadia's Half-elf child was almost born according to the prophecy.

But...

Ailin opens Witcher's Handbook.

[Name: Ailin]

[Age: 14]

[Title: Child of Miracle]

[Level: 40]

[Health: 100%, physical strength 310/310, magic power 410/410]

[Attributes: Strength 32, Agility 31, Constitution 34, Perception 28, Mystery 41]

[Affinity: Water 7, Earth 3]

Since Witcher's Handbook all recognizes Ailin as Child of Miracle in the form of titles.

Sadia's "Child of Miracle" probably just fits the prophecy.

That is to say.

Sadia and her Half-elf children took the blame for the real Child of Miracle - Ailin.

"Why Haxor... you even said there are others, so you want to kill Child of Miracle?"

Ailin couldn't help but ask.

"Isn't it hinted at in the prophecy?"

"Child of Miracle is supposed to be the key to saving the world?"

"Why not?" Sadia shook his head, "I am a survivor of Aelirenn Uprising."

"The Child of Miracle I gave birth to will bring blood and fire to which country?"

Naturally it is Kedwen.

Ailin replied in his heart.

The loop is closed!

Even if the first half of the prophecy is slightly different.

But the second half...

"The blood of elves floods the earth" corresponds to Aelirenn Uprising!

Inhumans brought blood and fire, and there was a direct reason to destroy the nations.

The racial hatred brought by the elves' blood.

The revenge of killing his father brought by his human blood.

Good guy!

If it weren't for the clear name "Child of Miracle" on the task panel, the function of Witcher's Handbook would be extraordinarily powerful.

It is estimated that even he himself will doubt whether his "Child of Miracle" is real?

Now.

Ailin There is only one doubt left:

"Why are you telling me these things?"

He is just a demon hunter who is entrusted with finding and rescuing people.

Sadia did not answer directly, but asked:

"I heard from Enid that Ada Emin commissioned you to find us. What did she pay for the commission?"

Ailin was silent for a few seconds and said:

"As long as I complete the task, I can get what I want most..."

"This bastard-like speaking style is really the same for every Ian Savini."

Sadia muttered.

"These are the exact words of Red-haired Elf, but..." Ailin glanced at the tombstone in front of him and smiled bitterly, "This is probably not a complete completion of the commission, right?"

"Forget it." Sadia suddenly said, "Tell me, what do you want most?"

The demon hunter was stunned for a moment and said:

"I want to gain the friendship of the elves... the Ain El clan..."

"Ailin, you have been a friend of the Ain El family for a long time, and this cannot be used as reward."

Sadia smiled.

Although he knew it was just a polite word, Sadia's natural affinity still warmed Ailin's heart.

He took a deep breath and said:

"It is possible that this winter, School of the Wolf's home, Kaer Morhen, may suffer a devastating attack from Haxor and the wizard Ben Ad..."

"We hope to gain support from our friends in Ayn El."

Sadia was silent, and after a few seconds he asked in surprise:

"No more?"

Ailin was speechless for a moment.

But before he could reply, Sadia looked at Ailin seriously and nodded slightly:

"I agreed."

"As long as you bring my children with you Kaer Morhen, I will do my best to provide support from the clan."

"Bring Kaer Morhen?" The demon hunter was surprised, "What do you mean?"

Sadia nodded:

"I hope they become a witcher!"

"You know the demon hunter is not..." Ailin was interrupted by Sadia just as he spoke.

"They have nowhere to go."

"This time I must return to my people."

"They... they have some extreme ideas about Half-elf. Following me back is no safer for them than becoming a demon hunter."

"Besides..."

Sadia's eyes became firm:

"My child is Child of Miracle."

"It is destined that they will survive the trials of the witcher."

"No matter how high the mortality rate is in those trials!"

Seeing Sadia's firm tone, Ailin suddenly became speechless.

but.

Now the death rate in the trial is almost zero, and Kaer Morhen is also lacking in strength.

Think darker.

The children of Sadia are undergoing trials in Ancient Sea Fortress, and they are not afraid that when School of the Wolf is in danger, the elves will not come to support them.

So Ailin took advantage of the situation and agreed.

Something happened here.

Sadia uses illusion to return to the appearance of Granny Asha.

Subsequently.

The two people slowly walked towards Wooden Hut.

Walk to little Wooden Hut.

Ailin and Sadia found Francesca holding the arm of a red-haired elf intimately and standing at the door waiting for them with a smile.

"Ada!"

"Ada Emin!"

The demon hunters and elves shouted in surprise:

"Why are you here?"

Shouldn't she be locked up in a cage by Ben Ad's guards?

Really!

How could Aoin Savini, who could know the future, really throw himself into a trap?

Ada Emin smiles, facing Sadia:

"'Grandma Asha', I'm here to pick you up."

"Ada, do you know Grandma Asha too?" Francesca was surprised.

Ada Emin nodded and continued:

"Hurry and give the entrusted reward to Ailin, and then we will set off."

Delegated reward? I give?

Sadia was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled face, and was about to ask.

"Buzz~"

Wolf Emblem buzzes.

Sorceress and the demon hunter had a strange feeling at the same time.

Heartbeat speeding up, whim...

"This... this is the call of fate!"

Sadia murmured in surprise.

The next moment.

She came back to her senses and looked at the demon hunter with complex eyes:

"It turns out that the final destination of that gem is you, that's good... that's good..."

Say it.

Sadia walked into little Wooden Hut.

Destiny...

Is this what Sadia calls the call of destiny?

"Yes, Child of Miracle!"

"This is the call of fate!"

Ailin's mind suddenly heard the voice of Ada Emin.

Silence for two seconds.

Ailin asked in his mind:

"Did fate also bring you here?"

Ada Emin smiled and nodded.

Ailin was speechless after getting the answer.

It's not that he doesn't have questions, it's that he has so many questions in his mind that he doesn't know which one to ask.

How did Ada Emin know he was Child of Miracle?

What is destiny?

That's right!

I should ask this!

"Dear Knower, will Kaer Morhen be destroyed?"

Ailin asked in his mind.

Ada Emin shook her head.

Before Ailin could be surprised, she heard her say gently:

"Sorry, I don't know."

"You think that the Knower is too omnipotent. We can only see Yoshimitsu Kataha accidentally in the future."

"That's all!"

Ailin heard this.

I felt a little lost for a while.

But the next second.

Sadia stepped out of Wooden Hut, attracting his attention.

From Wolf Emblem's perspective, the destination of the black element is in her hands, the center of the "obsidian" embedded in the necklace.

What kind of gem is this?

The witcher's eyes were firmly attracted by this gem.

When Sadia put the necklace on his hand, an indifferent mechanical sound sounded in his ears.

"Ding!"

"The fragments of the Gate of Ad Ghaith have been detected. Are they absorbed?"
