Another Prophecy!
With the identity of Henry Gedimidis, it is naturally impossible to damage his credibility for more than 10,000 Oren.
on the contrary.
When calculating the number of water ghosts cleared by the demon hunter, they summed it up and gave 2000 Oren.
However, it is difficult to carry large amounts of silver coins.
So in terms of payment method, Soyer only collected a small part of the coins, about five hundred Oren.
Five School of the Wolf demon hunters are divided into one point, which is exactly one hundred Oren per person.
It is convenient for several demon hunters to carry and use on a daily basis.
The other part was replaced with some rare Magic Material or Ben Ad's unique secondary alchemy products.
These things are rare wherever they are found, so there is no need to worry about sellers.
Moreover.
School of the Wolf now has his own alchemist.
"Bang~"
Ailin was stunned as he caught the saddle bag thrown gently by the chief.
"This is your reward." Soyer said, "Two King of Ice, two Serpent Woman, plus more than a hundred water ghosts, the total value is eleven thousand five hundred Oren."
"I have replaced them all with expensive and rare materials for you."
"Huh?" Ailin held the saddle bag with both hands and looked at the chief blankly, "But there is a water... uh... King of Ice, and two Serpent Woman, both of them are you, chief..."
Soyer waved his hand and interrupted:
"You killed those three monsters, take them!"
"And only you can hold these things, so they are the most practical."
Ailin opened his mouth in surprise.
The three large monsters had only one breath left before they were thrown in front of him, so he only had to make one last blow.
The bounty that really belongs to him is only one Drowners King and nearly two hundred water ghosts.
Three thousand Oren are enough to support the sky.
And he is definitely not the only one who can use things like Magic Material.
Although he does know how to refine some magic potions, they are definitely not as good as Lady Vesemir.
As for relationships, the chief and Lady Vesemir are the same family!
Now.
Not only did the chief not deduct or squander the bounty from his subordinates, he even gave him his entire share.
What kind of peerless leader is this?
Although the things are expensive.
However, there is nothing to refuse from the things given by the leader. Ailin has done so many things for the school, just think of him as giving out bonuses.
Seeing Ailin put away the saddle bag, Soyer's lips curled up, revealing a hint of a smile.
But soon the smile was hidden by him.
As soon as the bounty was divided, Vesemir found an excuse and drove the young demon hunter back to the hotel, who was overjoyed to have received one hundred Oren.
certainly.
Ailin is not among the young witchers who left.
He is Witcher Master, and he was originally in the decision-making level of School of the Wolf.
He saw the back of the young demon hunter disappearing from the window.
Vesemir quickly walked to Soyer and asked:
"Chief, regarding the king's death, what is the current situation among the wizards?"
Although with the appearance of the chief, the result should not be bad, but without confirmation, his heart was always up and down.
"Don't worry!"
The chief knew what Vesemir was worried about. He glanced at Ailin from the corner of his eye and said:
"Hen Gedimidis did not find out the cause of Conjunction of the Spheres."
"Perhaps because their stance on this Apprentice Combat Tournament is not clean to begin with, they deliberately avoided this topic in front of me..."
Upon hearing this, the first Drowners King in the arena suddenly appeared in Ailin's mind.
It doesn't know magic, moves clumsily, and is obviously different from the one after it.
If there wasn't a "squib" in Drowners King, then there must have been a wizard who manipulated it.
Compared with the former, the latter is obviously more likely.
and.
The audience in the arena shouted Conjunction of the Spheres, but there was no shock that Conjunction of the Spheres should have.
That Drowners King didn't appear suddenly, but broke open the closed iron fence and rushed out with a large number of water ghosts.
Although there is no concrete evidence, it can be concluded through simple reasoning.
The first Drowners King is obviously the stock of a certain wizard at Ban Ade College.
It was deliberately arranged and appeared in the arena just to deal with the demon hunter School of the Wolf.
"But there's a problem."
Ailin frowned.
There is no record of Drowners King, and it seems that it has never appeared in this world.
Who is it? By what means did you obtain this monster?
Think about it.
The fragment of the Gate of Ad Geis given to him by Sadia suddenly flashed in Ailin's mind.
Elf...
Conjunction of the Spheres...
Drowners King...
"Is there any connection between this?"
"Does Ben Ad College also have a piece similar to the fragment of Ad Geis' Gate?"
"That's why they got this Drowners King, and because of this, just like the dead Haxor, they held on to Sadia and wouldn't let them go?"
Ailin carefully involved these separate events in his mind, trying to put them into a line.
When Ailin was thinking, the chief spoke out Ban Ad's "request".
"... After giving me these bounties, Henry Gedimidis hopes that we will answer the question 'truthfully'..."
"If anyone comes to ask..."
Vesemir was relieved when he heard that the wizards, especially the "Magic Source" Henry Gedimidis, could not find out the cause of Conjunction of the Spheres.
Feeling relaxed, he sarcastically said:
"So the twelve thousand Oren is the hush money, right?"
Soyer nodded slightly.
"Then are they going to accept this responsibility?" Vesemir asked curiously.
Answering "truthfully" does not mean that you want to speak for them.
Haxor died in Ben Ad. With the temperament of the wizards, how could they not find a scapegoat?
Soyer shook his head, sighed, and said:
"It's School of the Cat..."
"The evil and crazy School of the Cat witcher is not resentful of being driven out of Ben Ard by a wise wizard."
"So in order to take revenge, they summoned the terrible Evil God and murdered the king!"
Vesemir was stunned for a while.
It was obvious that School of the Cat's demon hunter was working for Haxor and the wizard, but this move was a backstab...
"Oh... they are so shameless!"
But if you think about it carefully, this excuse does seem feasible.
In addition to the royal family, most of the nobles in Kedwen have an affair with the wizard academy.
As long as there is an excuse, an exchange of benefits, and a seemingly decent enemy, it is easy to get rid of.
As for the royal family...
It is estimated that only the prince who is about to succeed will be a big trouble.
However, when the king died, he died suddenly.
If he wants to secure the throne, he also needs the support of the wizard academy, a powerful force, or at least not an enemy.
"It's really possible to be fooled by wizards!" Vesemir shook his head helplessly.
At this time.
Soyer suddenly looked at Ailin and asked:
"Ailin!"
Ailin looked at the sound in confusion, "What's the matter, chief?"
Soyer looked sincerely at Ailin's azure Cat Eyes:
"You have dreamed that Ancient Sea Fortress was destroyed by flames and riots!"
"Now that the king is dead, even if Ben Ad can fool him, such an excuse will inevitably create a barrier between him and the new king, and they will be wary of each other!"
"Do you think the scene in the prophecy will happen again?"
"Kaer Morhen... Is it still possible to be destroyed by man-made disasters or natural disasters?"
Ailin was startled when he heard this, and felt a little numb under the eager eyes of three pairs of people around him.
He's not really a prophet.
Already changing in the future...
No!
He didn't even know if this was the future situation in the original story, how could he predict Ancient Sea Fortress, and would a disaster like the Kaer Morhen defensive war happen again?
Ailin thought hard.
Logically speaking, the king, the most direct enemy, is dead, and the wizards who are suspected of being accomplices have become estranged from the nobles.
School of the Wolf should be safe.
But in the history of the original book, events similar to the Kaer Morhen Defense Battle that destroyed the school have occurred in almost every demon hunter school.
So without these two enemies, it is not necessarily safe.
after all.
Based on fundamental interests, if the neutral school of demon hunters becomes stronger, it will inevitably threaten the rule of the local nobles.
It is almost the instinct of those in power to curb the uncontrolled development of armed forces.
What's more.
As the number of monsters continues to decrease, the attitude of the wizards who compete with the demon hunters towards the demon hunters continues to deteriorate.
So it's really impossible for Kaer Morhen to be safe like this.
But to say that there will definitely be a danger of destruction in a short time?
The fundamental contradiction between demon hunters, wizards, and nobles is that there are fewer and fewer monsters.
However, under the premise of the existence of Witcher's Handbook, another world fusion appeared.
As long as Ailin is alive, there should be more and more monsters in this world.
Demon hunters may regain the attention of the world...
Actually.
Ailin also thought of a way to deal with it.
That is to ignore it and continue to exaggerate the crisis.
But a bow that is held tightly for a long time will inevitably lose its elasticity.
In crisis.
Outside of Kaer Morhen, the demon hunter School of the Wolf's attitude towards the world will definitely change.
Especially after knowing that the crisis mainly originates from humans and wizards, it is easy to offend forces that would not be offended in the first place, and instead lead to false prophecies coming true.
The fictitious danger has never happened, which will also greatly damage Ailin's prestige in the school.
"It's so hard to guess!"
Ailin sighed.
There are too many variables to guess.
"If only I could really prophesy!" he thought to himself.
"How can prophecies be dreamed up so easily!" The cold female voice scolded Ailin's thoughts.
Ailin looks up.
He saw Sorceress blocking one side of his body in front of him, with a pretty eyebrow and a cold look on Soyer and Vesemir who were exerting pressure.
Especially Soyer.
After Sorceress glared at Vesemir, his eyes remained locked on the chief's face.
He stared so hard that this perhaps the most powerful demon hunter in the world could no longer put on his expressionless and cold look.
After smiling, he seemed to realize that he was too impatient. He looked at Ailin and said softly:
"Sorry Ailin, I pushed too hard."
Ailin, who was apologized by his immediate leadership, had no choice but to wave his hands and refuse.
But at the same time.
He was really relieved because of Sorceress's rescue.
Yes!
We just hit a dead end!
Why do I have to decide now?
Ailin thought to himself.
"Sorry, Chief!"
"I haven't dreamed about the future recently. When Precognitive Dream appears, I will notify Mary to tell you as soon as possible!"
Ben Ard's Academy for Wizards.
An office filled with parchments.
"Dean!"
"Are we just going to let those freaks go?"
The middle-aged wizard sitting on the armrest was so angry that he slammed the oak armrest.
School of the Wolf The most powerful freak.
Not long ago, more than 10,000 Oren were extorted from Ban Ad.
As soon as he heard the news, the old-looking wizard immediately ran over and protested to Henry Gedimidis.
certainly.
He intentionally or unintentionally ignored this fee and it was not extortion.
It was the bounty promised by Henry Gedimidis.
Or to put it another way, "hush money".
Henry Gedimidis sat behind the black lacquered oak table without raising his eyes.
"Professor Thomas Moreu, I do not ask you to forget your hatred."
"But at least restrain it and have respect for the great creation of Alzure and Cosimo Malaspina."
"If they hadn't created the Demon Hunter and resolved the crisis facing mankind..."
"Humanity's territory will definitely not be able to expand to the Blue Mountains, the land we stand on!"
Professor Thomas Morew was not impressed by Henry Gedimidis's words.
He sneered and said:
"So those freaks are not our enemies?"
"Of course not!" Henry Gedimidis raised his head, "They are just monuments on the way forward and now stumbling blocks, nothing more."
"However, they are one of the most proud masterpieces in the wizarding world."
"Respecting them means respecting yourself!"
"My dear Professor Thomas Moreu."
Thomas Moreu looked impatient, obviously not agreeing with Henry Gedimidis's words.
It was only out of strength and respect for the "Demon Source" that I didn't interrupt him directly.
After Hen Gedimidis finished speaking, Thomas Moreu asked anxiously:
"Are we just going to let those despicable and hypocritical hungry wolves go?"
"What's the plan?"
"What about the plan to destroy Kaer Morhen at the end of this year?"
"Calemah told me that because the king died, the plan was canceled directly?"
"If I hadn't been waiting for your damn plan, I would have hunted those demon hunters alone to avenge my children!"
"Now what's your plan?"
"Hen Gedimidis, you betrayed us!"
A barrage of resentment and dissatisfaction spewed out of Thomas Moreu's mouth.
Henry Gedimidis did not show any dissatisfaction or anger because of the old wizard's crazy words.
He just looked at Thomas Moreu with a gentle face.
After he had vented all the anger in his heart, he spoke softly but firmly:
"Professor Thomas, you know, I have never betrayed you!"
"You also know about Ben Ad's situation now. The king passed away here, and we will face many things together next."
"As for the plan..."
Henry Gedimidis paused, pondered for a moment, and then continued:
"The plan was just slightly delayed for a while..."
"How long will the delay be?" Professor Thomas Moreu suppressed his anger and interrupted.
"If nothing else happens, it will be two years at most..." Henry Gedimidis smiled and reassured, "If the situation is not as serious as we thought, maybe one year, or even no need to extend it."
When Thomas Moreu heard this, he barely suppressed his anger.
"Sorry, I was too emotional just now."
"The flames of hatred are growing stronger and stronger, making it difficult for me to sleep."
"I am already an undead soul in the world. I will follow Lydia as soon as those freaks die."
Henry Gedimidis nodded:
"It's okay, I understand."
"Don't worry, the plan will only be delayed for a moment..."
"The rest is business as usual."
