Arwen stared at him, and Aiden felt a feeling of hair on his back.
If the other party is really a monster, he definitely only has one thought right now.
He just runs, and the farther he runs, the better.
Aiden.
Arwen recited the name silently in his mind.
He remembered the identity of this School of the Cat demon hunter.
There is a quest in the Witcher 3 game, which is about the demon hunter in front of you.
He is also the best friend of School of the Wolf, the evil-mouthed demon hunter Lambert.
This relationship can even be said to be better than Geralt.
It's just that the ending of Aiden is not very good. According to the timeline, Aiden will take on the next task in the future, which is to lift the curse of a duke's daughter.
This is the same as when he first solved the Werewolf curse. It is not a simple ghost at all, but a political conspiracy full of betrayal and interests.
Some secret nobles did not want the curse to be lifted, and coupled with the world's prejudice and hatred against School of the Cat, the failed nobles hired retired demon hunter Judd Carradine, set up an ambush, and brutally killed Aiden.
Later, this matter reached the ears of Lambert, who dragged Geralt to the door for revenge, and successfully found Judd Carradine.
In the mouth of this hypocrite who is full of lies, another version of the story is given.
Do you believe in Judd Carradine or Lambert.
Although Lambert has not yet appeared in Kyle Mohan, there is no need to choose at all.
Lambert has a bad mouth, but he is our good brother.
Arwen restrained his breath and reached out to hold the opponent's palm.
"School of the Wolf, Arwen."
Aiden paused for a moment. The demon hunter was very sensitive to danger. He subconsciously sensed that the other party had no ill intentions.
At this moment, Ida walked up.
"Let's put aside the old things for now. The commotion just now was too loud. The smell of blood has attracted the surrounding monsters, and they are approaching here."
"Well," Arwen mentally sensed the surroundings and nodded in agreement. "Let's get out of here first."
Aiden covered the wound on his left arm and quickly followed the two of them back to the cave.
Ida cast Healing Spell for Aiden.
The wound that was still bleeding quickly became inflamed at a speed visible to the naked eye under the superb elf magic.
Aiden took a deep breath and felt the pain weakening greatly.
"Oh, thank you very much, beautiful elf warlock."
Ida said, "How do you feel now? The medical environment here is limited, and you can only use magic to simply treat your wounds."
Aiden's tone was full of gratitude, "I'm much better now."
Ida nodded, stood up and stepped aside, looking with beautiful eyes at the black-haired demon hunter who was confirming safety at the entrance of the cave.
Aiden's cat eyes wandered back and forth between the elf and Arwen.
In his mind, it was almost impossible for an elf to cooperate with a demon hunter.
Arwen After confirming safety, return to the cave.
He leaned against the wall and held his hands in front of his chest.
"Tell me, School of the Cat, if you don't accept your demon hunting commission and assassination mission properly, why did you come to Morgraig?"
"This place doesn't have any good memories for you."
When Order of Witchers split, the radical theory of School of the Cat was very different from Order of Witchers.
"Don't speak so rashly, School of the Wolf," Aiden said with a half-smile, "Sometimes we do have no lower limit for what we do, but that's for living. After all, we can't survive in this world without gold coins."
"Besides, Morgraig is one of the birthplaces of demon hunters, so it has some good memories no matter what."
Arwen was indifferent, his eyes slightly lowered.
Those golden vertical pupils that looked like burning sulfur stared at Aiden so hard that goosebumps appeared all over his body. He raised his hands in a gesture of surrender.
"Oh, Mr. Witcher, we are companions, aren't we?"
"For the sake of saving my life, I'll tell you the truth, okay."
His dark green cat eyes quickly dimmed as he spoke, with a strong look of exhaustion in his eyes.
"Hey----"
He sighed, "I'm here for the mutation formula."
"You know, our School of the Cat's reputation is extremely bad, and our school has declined. In the eyes of outsiders, we are just a group of crazy assassins who will kill anyone as long as they are paid."
He raised his head and leaned the back of his head against the rock wall, "I also don't like this extreme temperament. Every time I complete a task, I have to hide in the sewer forever like a rat in the sewer."
"Those high-ranking wizards always say that our mutation formula has serious flaws."
"Mutilated mutants will forcibly deprive us of our emotions, amplify our bloodlust, and turn us into monsters who only know how to kill."
"This is the former base camp of the demon hunters. Trial of the Grasses was held here again and again. Those famous demon hunters all came out under the guidance of the ancestor Alzur."
"Let's see, the School of the Griffin ones, your School of the Wolf ones, and even the School of the Bear ones, none of them look much more normal than our School of the Cat ones."
"I conclude that there must be a perfect mutation blueprint here, even if it is a manuscript."
"So, I came to the Kestrel Mountains alone. Following the directions from the School of the Cat library, I found it with great difficulty."
"That's why I want to get rid of the prejudice of psychotic killers."
"I just didn't expect," he looked at the location of the Morgraig castle with his peephole eyes, "That there would be so many monsters outside the castle."
"School of the Wolf, you are the last school to leave here. Why, you thought the luggage was too heavy, so you just released all the monsters in the laboratory and became watchdogs for the castle?"
"It's really terrible, there are more leeches than there are in the swamp!"
Laboratory?
Arwen's eyes lit up.
Maybe, the legacy of Alzur is there.
Aiden shrugged his shoulders, and after saying what was in his heart, he felt a lot more relaxed.
"I'm done, School of the Wolf, what about you? Why are you here?"
Arwen said calmly, "Just like you, I came here for the things in the laboratory."
"Do you know where the laboratory is?"
Seeing that Arwen did not specify the specific purpose, Aiden did not dare to ask further questions.
After all, he is now dependent on someone else.
"I know," he nodded, "When I came here, I saw Morgraig's castle layout drawing and knew the location of the laboratory."
"I want to cooperate with you. How about I tell you the location of the laboratory. If there is a mutation blueprint in it, give it to me. I only want this."
Speaking of this, his tone was sincere.
Arwen thought for a moment, turned around, and walked towards the entrance of the cave.
Aiden's cat eyes are a bit lost.
For the mysterious and powerful demon hunter in front of him, the monsters hovering on the periphery are no match for him at all.
As long as you kill these monsters and find the location of the laboratory, it's just a waste of time.
He has no qualifications to impose conditions on the other party.
When Arwen reached the entrance of the cave, he suddenly stopped, looked at him and said, "Why are you still sitting there? Let's go. This little injury shouldn't affect your swing of the sword."
Aiden Hearing this, Mao Yan regained his energy and hurriedly stood up.
"I knew it, I knew you wouldn't abandon your brothers."
Arwen smiled.
Although Aiden's combat power is not as good as his own, he is still a demon hunter after all. As School of the Cat, he has unique insights in dealing with mechanisms and is a good leader.
The three of them came to the road leading to Morgraig again and hid behind the shadows of the woods.
Arwen squinted his eyes. Because Aiden made a big fuss, there were more monsters in front of the castle portcullis.
Aiden scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.
"I'm really sorry. I thought about sneaking in, and everything went smoothly. But for some reason, when I was near the hanging door, I was discovered by Giant Thorny Devil Tree, and I was forced to retreat. But every time I got rid of the monster, the monster caught up with me."
Arwen raised his eyebrows.
Discovered?
In the school of demon hunters, School of the Cat is absolutely top-notch in terms of stealth skills.
After all, all they do is assassination.
"However, I also know a way. Behind Morgraig, there is a secret door. It was originally used to transport abandoned experimental subjects. It can directly enter the castle."
Arwen The monsters wandering in front of the castle gate are so densely packed that although they are not difficult to deal with, they will definitely take a lot of time to deal with.
He still has a curse on him, so it would be very disadvantageous if he got into a protracted war.
"Let's go, you will lead the way."
Aiden nodded, and the three of them followed the perimeter and opened a path in the bushes.
With the warnings of Arwen and Ida, all the monsters along the way were avoided.
About an hour later, the three of them successfully arrived behind Morgraig.
The tall and mottled city wall stands in front of you. Interlaced vines climb along the gaps in the city wall. In some gaps, you can see a few geckos making their homes inside.
Aiden stretched out his finger and pointed at a corner of the city wall.
"This is it, Arwen, look at that brick, it's the hidden mechanism that opens the secret door."
Arwen stared at it, and sure enough, the gaps in that square brick were thicker than the others, and the brick surface also looked smoother0
Aiden looked around carefully, and just when he was about to walk out of the shadow, he immediately stepped back and cursed in his mouth.
"Damn----"
In front of the secret door, on the muddy ground covered with black thorn bushes, three bulges suddenly appeared and burst out of the ground with a bang.
There are three Giant Thorny Devil Tree plants that are even bigger than before.
Their thorny vines are intertwined together, and their huge stamens are eating together Slyzard, making a corrosive sizzling sound.
Aiden knows how terrifying this Giant Thorny Devil Tree is. As long as one of them is disturbed, it will be attacked by the other two.
If we go deep into the hinterland now, if there is any movement, it will definitely lead to a siege by monsters.
Aiden whispered, "I'll sneak over first and open the secret door. I still have a few smoke bombs in my hand. Let's——"
Before he finished speaking, he felt an undetectable breeze blowing beside him.
He turned around suddenly and found that Arwen, who was standing behind him, had disappeared.
Ida raised his eyes and pointed to the right side of his eyes.
Aiden The cat's eyes narrowed, and Arwen was seen leaning forward, as if flying close to the ground, passing through the black thorn bush0
Extremely fast, without any movement, just like the black Ghost.
[Crouching Ambush]
Aiden rolled his Adam's apple.
How did you achieve this burly body?
This completely refreshed his world view.
If it weren't for Ida's prompt, he wouldn't even have found the location of Arwen.
In the absolute silence, only the sound of Giant Thorny Devil Tree cannibalizing Slyzard can be heard.
The petals kept shaking and making a rustling sound.
In the shadow behind them, a pair of golden cat eyes suddenly lit up, and dark crescent moons cut out.
The extremely sharp sword energy cut off the three thick vines like fragile bamboo poles.
Green juice splashed out, and the huge petals of Giant Thorny Devil Tree lost their support and quickly fell to the ground.
The vines were like twisted twists, twitching wildly on the ground, and soon became silent.
[Kill Giant Thorny Devil Tree, get Giant Thorn Demon Tree Mutagen 25%] 3!
[Giant Thorn Demon Tree Mutagen (green) 1! Install this mutation to enhance your own toxin resistance and green talent, Toxin Spores]
[Toxin Spores (green): Your sweat glands have acquired mutations, and any attack can attach toxins. After the toxins erode the enemy, they will have the characteristics of plant spores and cause rapid infection. When the enemy target carrying the toxins dies, its body will explode instantly, releasing a poisonous cloud within a radius of three meters, causing secondary damage.]
[Whether to install Giant Thorn Demon Tree Mutagen (green)!]
Install!"
There was a numb and tingling pain all over the skin.
He has long been used to this kind of pain.
Take a look at the panel.
[Toxin Spores].
His eyes flashed, he was a god! This is simply a super skill for clearing mobs!
I also have [Rotthorn Toxin], and when paired with this [Toxin Spores], wouldn't it be enough to just kill a small monster, put a poison debuff on it, and then throw it into the monster pile and wait for a series of explosions.
Sheathed the giant sword and rubbed the palms of her hands.
He raised his forehead and pointed at Aiden and Ida.
Ida quickly stood up, already accustomed to it, and walked towards Arwen's position.
Aiden opened his mouth as if he had seen a ghost.
The terrifying green flame was used to deal with Giant Thorny Devil Tree earlier.
And if he saw that sword light right now, it was a steel sword.
Use the steel sword to instantly kill the monsters produced by Conjunction of the Spheres. There are still three monsters.
God, did I read that right?"
When he walked next to Arwen, the pungent smell of Giant Thorny Devil Tree filled the air, and he woke up as if from a dream.
While looking at Arwen with careful eyes, he took out the tools from his pocket.
The stone brick mechanism cannot be triggered by just pressing it with your hand, it requires a little bit of skill.
He took out a sharpened steel needle and swept it back and forth several times along the cracks in the stone bricks.
He muttered, "I hope this thing isn't rusty and stuck."
"Click!"
Following the crisp sound, Aiden cat's eyes welled up with joy, and he exhaled a breath of thick air.
"Kakaka----"
The stone wall connecting the mountain on the right suddenly shook, and a series of mechanical sounds were heard.
The secret door opened.
