Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 167: Valley Daisy and the Miracle Child

Francesca Findaby?

Hearing the name, the young witcher froze.

Daisy of the Valley, the most beautiful woman in the world, one of the five members of the core Talent and Skill Association of the Warlock Brotherhood, the queen of the Elven Kingdom Dol Bretanna, one of the eight founders of the Sorcerer's Coven...

With so many titles and achievements, what is such a big shot doing here?
Are you here to look for that human couple like him?

Ailin found that unlikely.

After all, even if Francesca is not the Queen of Elves yet, she is still the leader of the free elves and the daughter of Himles Findaby, one of the few remaining elven sages in the world.

A princess whose status is equivalent to that of the elven royal family.

What kind of identities do the human couple that the red-haired elf is looking for have that would require the future elf queen to risk her life?

"What's wrong? Is there any problem?" Seeing the witcher staring at her blankly, Francesca twisted her body unconsciously.

"Nothing, I just think this name sounds nice."

Ailin came back to his senses, and after a quick perfunctory remark, he changed the subject:

"I've already told you the purpose of my coming here, what's yours?"

"What are you doing here? And who is the Ada you are talking about?"

Francesca did not reply to the witcher, but asked: "Where did you meet Ada?"

"The day before yesterday morning, at the gate of Ban Ader, the red-haired elf... er... the Ada you mentioned was being locked up in a prisoner cart with several other elves by the King's guards and wizards of Kaedwen and escorted into..."

"Impossible, how could Ian Savini be captured by a mere human..."

Francesca interrupted Aelin, her voice amplified in disbelief.

Ailin was so frightened that he quickly stepped forward and covered her mouth with his hand.

Then he poked his head into the camp and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that the guards hadn't noticed.

"You're crazy, we're in the Kaedweni military camp!" Ailin warned her in a low voice, and only slowly let go of her hand after she nodded.

“Sorry…I’m sorry…” Francesca realized something was wrong and apologized softly, then asked anxiously, “How could Ian Savini be captured by some humans?”

"Then I don't know. Anyway, when I saw her, the red-haired elf was indeed locked in a prison car with other elves and escorted to Ban Ader."

"Maybe she's not the Ada you're talking about..."

After hearing what Ailin said, Francesca thought for a moment and shook her head:
"Impossible, you are just a demon hunter, so you don't know."

"It's already difficult to learn to read minds, and only a few elven sorcerers can communicate in other people's minds..."

Just a demon hunter, I’m really sorry… Ailin rolled his eyes when he heard that.

But now that I think of it, I seem to have some impression of the elf named Ada.

Where have you seen this name?
"By the way, have they been handcuffed with the demon-blocking gold handcuffs?"

Francesca's question interrupted Aelin's thoughts.

Magic-blocking golden handcuffs that can suppress magic power?
Ailin thought for a few seconds and said:
"Those elves didn't seem to have handcuffs or leg shackles on their hands and feet... You haven't answered my question yet. Who is that Ada?"

"Not handcuffed by the demon-blocking metal..." Francesca was stunned for a moment, then noticed the dissatisfaction in the demon hunter's tone.

She looked down at the dagger in her hand, which still had the temperature of the demon hunter, and after a few seconds of hesitation, she said:

"The red-haired elf I'm entrusting you with is Aida Amin Aipu Siweni, she is Ain Savini of the Ain Xidi tribe..."

Seeing the witcher's confused look, Francesca paused and explained:

"Ien Savini means one who knows. You can understand that Aida Amin is the sage of the elves."

Aelin recalled.

Like Francesca, Ada Emin is a senior sorcerer and a member of the Sorceresses' Guild. Ada Emin is even much older than Francesca.

And if his memory is correct.

In the original work.

The two elves, Ada Emin and Francesca, voted in favor of allowing Ciri and Geralt to meet, just like Margarita.

So when racial interests are not involved, these two elves are at least kind in nature.

only……

There were no magic-blocking gold shackles, which meant that the king's guards and wizards definitely didn't know Aida's identity...

Why would such a powerful elven warlock voluntarily allow himself to be imprisoned and enter Ban Ader at this time?
Ailin thought back to everything that had happened since he came down the mountain.

Kings, nobles, wizards, witchers, and now elves...

How many forces are involved in this fighting competition between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School...

"Besides... I came here to find an elf." Francesca's mask moved.

Elf?

Not a human couple?

Ailin was a little surprised and asked quickly, "Who is the elf you are looking for? How do you plan to find this elf?"

"I can't tell you the identity of the elf," Francesca shook her head, "I plan to wait for these shameless humans to find her, and then I will snatch her back!"

"Is this also the commission that Ada gave you?"

"wrong……"

"You're a demon hunter and you don't know how to teleport. How are you going to get her back and send her away?"

"Is it possible..."

"Could it be that the commission Ada gave you was to capture me and take me back?"

After Francesca spoke a lot to herself, she suddenly became alert and took two steps back clumsily, almost tripping over a stone.

She stood still with some embarrassment, as if Ailin had tripped her, and said bitterly:

"I won't go back until I find her. Even if...even if I can't beat you, you can't catch me."

As she spoke, Francesca pulled out a sapphire necklace from the collar of her black nightgown.

"Om~"

The wolf emblem trembled slightly.

what!
As soon as he saw the necklace, Ailin felt as if his whole body was being pressed by countless invisible steel needles.

The strong sense of crisis made his heart beat faster. His right hand instinctively grasped the hilt of the steel sword. After taking a deep breath, he resisted the urge to draw the sword.

"Hey, I'm not here to take you back."

The pins and needles sensation decreases.

"The commission Ida gave me has nothing to do with you or the elf you are looking for."

The pins and needles sensation completely disappeared.

The man in black opposite him paused, a hint of embarrassment flashed across his eyes, and he put the sapphire necklace into his collar.

Ailin breathed a sigh of relief, paused for a moment, and then continued:
"She commissioned me to search for a human couple..."

Before he finished speaking, Ailin suddenly discovered that Francesca suddenly pulled with her right hand, and the sapphire necklace jumped out of her collar again, instantly flashing a layer of hazy light.

The next moment, the tingling sensation he felt all over his body suddenly intensified, even several times stronger than the initial tingling sensation.

"Om!!"

The wolf emblem trembled so much that it jumped out of the collar in an instant.

damn it!
This is also wrong!
What a crazy woman Francesca was when she was young!

Ailin's expression suddenly changed, and he took a step forward and stretched out his right hand.

"Qiang!"

The steel sword is unsheathed.

He then quickly circulated the magic power in his body and crossed his hands to quickly form the Othrop seal.

A lavender transparent spherical protective shield was generated from the soles of the feet and closed above the head almost simultaneously.

"what sound!"

A loud shout came from the direction of the camp behind the pile of rocks, followed by the sound of thumping footsteps approaching.

Oops! The movement just now was noticed.

Ailin cursed in his heart and glared at Francesca in front of him.

But he found that she nodded to him as if apologetically, the black mask shook twice, and then suddenly disappeared from his sight.

Seeing this magical scene, the young demon hunter finally understood why Francesca's close combat ability was so poor, but she could let him be stabbed with a dagger in the back without any preparation.

She can actually become invisible!

"Dong Dong Dong~"

The guards' footsteps were getting closer.

[Name: Ailin]

【生命值：100%，体力值310/310，魔力243/410】

The magic power has just been restored to normal, and the illusion using the Mirage Pearl can only last for about a minute. It is a crude illusion that is most easily discovered as abnormal, and it will definitely not withstand the observation of the guards.

So Ailin gritted his teeth, not caring whether the invisible Francesca would take this opportunity to attack him.

After taking back the magic shield of Ottrop, he ran towards the dark cave.

At the same time, the magic power in the body was running rapidly.

After a burst of ripples on the surface of the body, it merged into the night.

After a few seconds,
Behind the pile of rocks, another group of people came. They were the patrol guards who had discovered the abnormality here.

A soldier who came forward held up a torch and shone it, and found that there was nothing on the ground behind the pile of stones, so he complained to the soldiers behind him:

"Tress, why are you so suspicious tonight?"

Guard Tres explained aggrievedly: "I clearly heard some noise here."

"But there's nothing here!"

"Wait!" The captain of the patrol guard interrupted the argument between the two.

He squatted down and observed the ground carefully in the light of the fire. Then he took the torch of the soldier next to him and shook it slightly on the ground.

In the dust, as light and darkness switched, a pair of footprints suddenly appeared.

"Alert!" the captain shouted immediately.

The patrolling spearmen immediately raised their spears with murderous intent, retreated and surrounded the captain.

The captain had a grim face, raised the torch, and walked forward step by step along the direction of the footprints, finally stopping in front of a dark cave.

The captain looked at the unfathomable cave, turned around and patted a soldier on the shoulder, saying:

"Teles, congratulations, you may have made a contribution this time!"

"Hehe...Did someone really break in, Captain?" Teles laughed twice and touched his head.

"Yes! And more than one!"

The captain glanced at the ground and ordered:
"Tles, go to the tent and report the situation here to Sir Light. The others will stay here with me and don't miss any sign of trouble!"

"Yes, Captain!"

……

Inside the cave.

After being discovered, Ailin immediately rushed into the cave and hid in a corner.

He looked at the fire in the distance and slowly approached it, then stopped at the entrance of the cave.

"Damn it, I was discovered after all!"

Ailin scratched his hair in annoyance.

He knew he was in big trouble.

If he was discovered by the soldiers in the camp, how could he get the human couple out of the camp even if he found them?

Is it really possible that he is invincible in a military camp among three or four hundred people?

What a joke!
"Feel sorry!"

A female voice like the sound of a spring dripping from an empty valley suddenly rang out in the dark cave, startling Ailin.

"I didn't mean it!" the voice continued.

The magic power in Ailin's body flowed rapidly, and he crossed his hands to form the Othrop seal.

Then, with the help of the faint purple light of the magic shield, he looked vigilantly at the man in black not far away.

Seeing Francesca standing three or four meters away and having no intention of continuing to attack, Ailin suppressed his anger and asked:
"Not intentional?"

"Why did you suddenly attack me if it wasn't intentional?"

If it weren't for the sapphire necklace suddenly flashing with magical light, how could he have drawn the steel sword under pressure and alarmed the guards.

otherwise.

No matter how many guards there are outside, as long as they don't know about Ailin's existence.

No matter how difficult the task of escorting the human couple was, he could use the Mirage Pearl to slowly send them out of the camp instead of being as passive as he was now.

“I’m sorry…” Francesca shrank her head. “I just heard what you said and got a little emotional. I couldn’t control the Karatmel pendant…”

Ailin was stunned when he heard this.

When using magic props, if your emotions suddenly fluctuate, it is indeed possible that this will affect the effectiveness of the props.

but……

Because I suddenly got emotional because of what I said?
What did I just say?
"Human couple? Did you lose control of your emotions because of the word 'human couple'?"

Ailin used the light of the Ottrop Sign to stare at Francesca's pupils, which had turned a little green due to the purple light.

really.

Those clean eyes trembled suddenly when they heard the human couple.

But why?

Isn’t it an elf that Francesca is looking for?

Ailin was confused.

However, when Francesca heard Ailin's question, she did not answer. Instead, she dodged and turned her head to look into the darkness.

"I'm sorry, I can't tell you the reason, but our goals are the same."

"Demon Hunter, I think... we should cooperate, right?"

Ailin was silent.

I'm looking for humans, you're looking for elves, do we have the same goal?

And to be honest, even if they were the same, he didn't want to cooperate with Francesca.

Although they were only together for a dozen minutes, Ailin could see it.

The cunning and resourceful Queen Francesca of Dol Bretanna, who would stir up the situation in the future, was not mature at this time and was just a young elf.

And from what she said before, she seemed to be a princess who had run away from home, a real valley daisy who had never experienced any hardships.

Such people are nothing but trouble in action.

but……

But she can send a portal...

She is also the future Queen of the Elves...

Under the premise that the army in the camp has been alerted, Ailin needs a portal to escort the human couple away.

We must establish good relations with the elves and prepare for the future battle to destroy Kaer Morhen.

He also has to try his best to build a good relationship with "Valley Daisy", the daughter of the free elf leader.

then,

Ailin could only sigh inwardly, then nodded bitterly:

"Of course, we'll just have to work together now, won't we?"
