Ailin's Ambition! The Suddenly Appearing Severely Wounded Man!
The birds in the mountains startled from the forest and soared in the sky in flocks.
The blood-red sunset slowly sank into the green wheat fields, and the long golden-green river surrounded the wheat fields, and the river water shone brightly.
Seeing the Ismina River, Arland and Temple of Melitele were also close, but only some vague shadows could be vaguely distinguished in the high sky.
Ailin grabbed Greater Griffin's jet black and blue feathers, glanced at the clear sky that was about to end, and thought of something, gently patted Good Girl's neck.
After getting the signal, Good Girl let out a long cry, frightening the swallow bird flying behind him that was flying on the air current.
Shrinking its broad wings, it brushed against the winding mountains and rushed towards the earth.
"What's wrong?" Vesemir, who was distracted while looking at the sunset, turned around.
Frequently flying this route, he knew it was still far from landing...
"I'm leaving tomorrow, but I suddenly remembered that I haven't seen this place properly yet."
Ailin said softly.
The blue Cat Eyes is like a mirror, reflecting the dark brown mountains, green wheat fields and the golden and sparkling Ismina River...
Vesemir heard this and stared at Ailin for a while, before being awakened by the young demon hunter yelling underneath.
"Speaking of which, I have flown in the sky so many times, and I am always in a hurry."
He nodded, ignoring Aias and Kray who were shouting due to the sudden drop in height, and turned his head to look at the rippling blue waves of the Ismina River, which was getting closer and closer.
Villages surround the river, and fishing boats float in twos and threes on the river.
The fisherman cast the net, and a few wild ducks followed closely behind them, swimming in the river.
After flying for a while, you can see the blocking net with a faint silver light in the water. The mesh is the size of a human head. It is nailed to the stone bridge by iron nails and cuts across the entire Ismina River.
It's not like wizards just do nothing serious and just fight for power and gain all day long.
This river barrier mixed with silver is their masterpiece.
As long as the villages near the river install barriers on the bridges upstream and downstream and perform routine maintenance, they basically don't have to worry about the elusive water ghosts.
Of course, only wealthy villages near cities can afford such river dams.
After encountering a water ghost, entrusting a demon hunter to clean it up is a more affordable option.
"Don't worry too much," Vesemir suddenly interrupted Ailin's random thoughts, "Although Chieftain Soyer is a very upright person, he is by no means pedantic."
"Everything we do is for the sake of the school. As long as nothing big happens, the most we can do is scold a few words and practice steel swords for a few days."
He reached out and patted Ailin on the shoulder, flashed a ten-tooth smile and said:
"Since I became Witcher Master, I haven't been punished like this for a long time. I just remember my youth..."
"It's okay, Vesemir," Ailin shook his head, "I'm not worried about this. I just wanted to take a look before I left..."
Suddenly I wanted to see the land I had protected and fought on, and I felt a sense of pride and joy.
Then I simulated in my mind that a hundred years later, the people on this land, generation after generation, changed from fanaticism, admiration, and friendliness to indifference, disgust, and hostility...
He needs this process to speculate on the thoughts of Soyer and all other Witcher Master.
certainly.
He also didn't think there would be any heavy punishment before the real bad news came.
School of the Wolf is a loose organization.
Even under the pressure of the northern kingdoms and Ben Ad, School of the Wolf could at best drive him away.
But considering that Soyer knew the identity of Child of Miracle when he first traveled through time, and worked with Lady Vesemir to modify the file to hide his identity, even if the worst news really came, expulsion would be an almost impossible option.
Not to mention that the importance of witchers in this world will only continue to increase in the future.
With the feud between the demon hunters and Kedwen itself, would the kings and nobles of other countries really interfere?
After all, just subduing a harmful Greater Griffin is not initiating any major bottom-up change.
Therefore, he is not worried about his fate.
He is only worried about the Monster Hunting Legion.
Monster Hunting Legion itself was established with the support of Chieftain Soyer. Other parts of Witcher Master, and even most of the demon hunters of School of the Wolf, actually disapproved of it.
If this incident causes the chief to take the initiative to disband Monster Hunting Legion, then it will really be over.
After the fourth level, Monster Hunting Legion, which is already in a rapid rise period, will be completely interrupted.
Even if we can secretly hunt monsters collectively and improve ourselves, without the support of School of the Wolf, the source of members will be problematic.
The rapid improvement of the Monster Hunting Legion will give him the confidence to face Wild Hunt and White Frost in the future.
[Want to be the chief?]
The deep and hoarse voice suddenly echoed in my mind.
If he were the chief now, would he still have the troubles he has now?
Ailin was fascinated by the various landscapes and the ground that flashed by like a slideshow.
"Good Girl" cried softly, leaving the Ismina River behind in the blink of an eye.
The majestic Mahakam mountains turned around, revealing the bustling city of Arland.
On the high gray stone wall outside the city, many people were going up and down, carrying large cut stones to build the city wall.
This is not the disaster caused by Wild Hunt more than two months ago that has not yet been repaired, but the new city defense planned by Old Duke after hearing about the tragic situation of Ban Ade.
The reason why Tissaia de Vries stayed in Arland after expelling Evil God's assistance was not only because it was closer to Ard than Aretuza, but also because he was waiting for the details of the war between the two countries, but also because of this big business.
It is said.
After the entire city wall is repaired, as long as Agatha consumes "some" precious magic materials, a magic barrier that is not inferior to Ben Ad's can be raised to protect the entire city.
In addition, a special set of hidden ritual tables were set up in the city wall to expand the effect and scope of the ritual, and store some hidden ritual tables that could be used to arrange confinement rituals - inertizing elements within the scope of action, thereby prohibiting the opening and closing of the portal.
Imprisonment ceremony, Ailin once heard Vesemir Sorceress say it in the abandoned mine of Viscount Hudson.
At that time, they were almost trapped in the mine and caught in a trap.
According to what Nannick said a few days ago, Tissaia de Vries didn't know if he was trying to sell goods or if he was telling the truth.
She said that the confinement ritual was also very useful for some alchemy props, and might force Wild Hunt flying in the sky to land on the ground.
Ianna, who is also a ritual master, has reservations about this.
Ailin, who has a certain level of ritual science and alchemy and has seen Conqueror's Armor of the Wild Hunt and the rider Wild Hunt in the spiral, is also not optimistic about the effect of "Ritual: Confinement".
How to say...
It's like airplanes returned to ancient times, and an archer thought he could shoot down the airplane with arrows.
Compared with the sorcerers of the Demon Hunter world, the Alchemists' attainments in alchemy are not at the same level at all.
But Duke Mason seems to like this.
He felt that as long as those Wild Hunt could be forced down from the sky, the heroic soldiers of the kingdom would let those Skeleton Knight know what it was like to have lances and swords...
But no matter what, it's always good to spend money on defense.
With Tissaia de Vries' rigorous and upright personality, he would not try to shoddy products, and would definitely achieve the desired results.
in addition.
Wild Hunt is now obsessed with Ben Ade. No matter where Spiked Fiend is, the corpse-eating creature has almost disappeared in Arland.
There's no way that after Wild Hunt and Evil God, Arland will be the next unlucky one, right?
"Ailin!"
"Godslayer!"
"May King!"
Good Girl flew over Arland, and the familiar cheers sounded again.
But compared to the previous few days, the volume of the shouting was much lower, and the number of people chasing after Greater Griffin was also much smaller.
Nowadays, most of the sounds are the sharp screams of children playing on the roadside, and then running, either being scolded by their parents to stop, or starting to play with their friends again.
Fanaticism relies on enthusiasm, and enthusiasm cannot last, especially when there is no response...
"Hey, why is there a large group of people surrounding the temple entrance?"
Vesemir's exclamation interrupted his thinking.
Ailin turned his head and looked down. The Meritellie holy statue at the entrance of the temple was indeed blocked.
"What kind of big shot is here?" He asked curiously, "But what kind of big shot can alarm Temple of Melitele so many people? No one greeted Duke Mason when he came."
"It doesn't seem like..." Vesemir frowned.
He saw a stretcher with a person lying on it revealed through a gap in the crowd.
Greater Griffin flew closer.
The two demon hunters finally heard the sound coming from below.
"...Pontar River... The king escorts us..."
"... The Witcher... La Varedi..."
"... the injured... don't be blocked... get out of the way..."
The noisy sound is fragmented and no information can be heard at all.
"What kind of disaster happened somewhere..."
Ailin frowned, and before he finished speaking, the blue Cat Eyes suddenly shrank.
As Nannick arrived, he shouted loudly to drive away the crowd.
The crowd suddenly dispersed, and Ailin saw at first sight the little priest who was tilting his head and explaining something to Nannick emotionally.
Then...
On the stretcher carried by two soldiers in city guard uniforms, there lay a man with his head wrapped in a bandage and wearing leather armor.
Ailin I always felt that the person on the stretcher seemed familiar, and my heart suddenly accelerated its beating speed in depression.
"Go down and take a look now?" Vesemir also frowned, looked back at him after two glances.
"No," Ailin suppressed the sudden uneasiness in his heart and joked in a sour voice, "I just saw Nina. If you go down now, Klar might not want to kill us."
"After we land, we'll..."
The words have not yet finished.
Good Girl, which slid across the sky of the temple, finally attracted the attention of everyone on the ground.
"Greater Griffin!"
"Priestess Nannick! Sir Ailin and Master Vesemir are back..."
"Ailin..."
Seeing their abnormal excitement, both Ailin and Vesemir were stunned.
Then, the little priest on the ground suddenly raised his head when he heard the movement and met Ailin's eyes.
Her face was happy at first, and then she seemed to have thought of something. She raised her hand to gesture, and opened her mouth to shout something.
But the next second.
A large, lush tree suddenly appeared between the two of them.
Lyra What do you want to say?
Why were the priests in the temple suddenly so excited when they saw them?
Ailin and Vesemir looked at each other and their expressions changed.
The injured on the stretcher are probably related to them!
The two witchers realized this immediately.
But even so, he did not order Greater Griffin to turn around.
certainly.
It's not for the image of Klar hanging on Good Girl's paws in the mind of his little girlfriend Nina.
When it comes to treating illnesses and injuries, the priests of the temple are the most professional. It's useless for the two demon hunters to worry.
What's more, if you turn around now, the magic power of Greater Griffin is favoring you at a close distance, which may cause some negative effects on the injured.
therefore.
Ailin and Vesemir were silent, patiently waiting for Good Girl to fly to the landing point.
Good Girl stopped.
Ernie and Klar have just unlocked the lock and haven't jumped down yet.
Suddenly.
Two hurried figures landed on the ground before them.
"You go back first!"
Ailin and Vesemir left a warning in unison, then turned into a gust of wind and ran towards the temple gate like flying.
"What happened?" Aias stood up after landing and stared blankly at the two figures who quickly disappeared.
Klar frowned. "Something happened at the door..."
"Stop guessing, you'll know it now if you take a look." Kray simply landed on the ground and trotted, following Ailin's footsteps.
Ernie has the demeanor of a leader, and persuaded him righteously, "But both the leader and Master Vesemir asked me to go back first..."
"Then don't keep up..." Kray looked at Ernie who had already run in front of him and rolled his eyes.
——
"Thump~thump~"
With their hearts beating uneasily, Ailin and Vesemir said nothing. In less than ten minutes, they saw the entrance of the temple.
There was no one at the entrance of the temple.
Meritellie's three holy statues stood quietly on the spot, looking lovingly at the two demon hunters who stopped slowly.
However, when Ailin and Vesemir stopped, their noses twitched and they immediately glanced at the dark red blood that had just dripped on the ground.
"The smell of blood..." Vesemir looked heavy.
"Sir Ailin, Master Vesemir," a fat priest who was blinded by the sand and dust carried by the witcher's speed, rubbed his eyes, and walked up quickly after seeing the two witchers, "Priestess Nannick asked me to tell you about the operating room they used in Sir Ailin."
"Thank you," Ailin smiled and said thank you. Then, without leaving in a hurry, he asked, "Who was on the stretcher just now? Did Priestess Nannick just say that?"
"That's the injured person brought back by Lyra," the fat and kindly priestess showed pity in her eyes, "Lyra said his name is Huus..."
"School of the Wolf's witcher - Huus."
