Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 194 The Apprentice Competition is Here!

"Of course, you have a share too!"

Feeling the expectant gazes of Hughes and the others, Ailin smiled and nodded.

"Wow, Aelin, you're so nice!"

Fred immediately jumped for joy.

Hughes and Bonte also looked very excited.

male!
Be it a boy, a guy or a man.

Who doesn’t like powerful weapons with cool effects?

Bei Feng's test was over, and none of the demon hunters had the idea of ​​going down the mountain to deal with the water ghost materials.

After all, it has been broken into ice chips, and it is too difficult to extract suitable materials.

At least a monster like a water ghost is not worthy of it.

After returning to the inn, Ailin immediately returned to his room with a few witchers.

While refining the North Wind, he taught them the recipe.

Less than half an hour.

Ailin obtained five more North Winds and four confused and timid witcher North Wind apprentices.

It only requires the North Wind of Alchemy Level 2, and the configuration is actually not difficult.

You don't even need a crucible, just add the ingredients into the jug water in order, induce the magic power to participate, and then stir.

After the second North Wind was refined, Arryn wanted to let Vesemir and the three young witchers give it a try.

But it seemed that the power of the north wind had made too deep an impression on people.

The refining materials are too expensive.

Even Vesemir shook his head and rejected Arryn's kindness.

And when Fred was about to try, he quickly stopped him for the sake of his own and others' lives.

"A demon hunter can die at the claws of a demon, but not in an experimental accident!"

These are Vesemir's exact words.

……

The North Wind bombs have been refined.

Vesemir declined the bomb that Arlin gave him and left the room with Hughes and the others.

"Ding Ding~"

Open the reagent bag and put away the glass bottle containing the north wind.

Ailin sat on the bed and began to think with his head down.

There are only eleven days left in the Apprentice Fighting Competition.

During these eleven days.

The ultimate goal is to improve the strength of Hughes, Bont and Fred!

As for the seals, the three young demon hunters Quinn, Igni and Alder all have LV2 seals, and the others have LV1 seals.
As for swordsmanship, only Hughes has reached Wolf School Two-handed Sword Level 3.
Although the focus of the Apprentice Competition is on the Chief, the probability of deliberately targeting young demon hunters like them is very small.

A demon hunter who has just graduated from his apprenticeship in the Cat School.

There is no plug-in like Zeus and others that can quickly improve strength.

The swordsmanship level is probably Cat School two-handed sword LV1.

Even though the Wolf School's swordsmanship is aimed at monsters and will be restrained in a fight, a LV2 Wolf School two-handed sword is definitely stronger than a LV1 Cat School two-handed sword.

but……

The demon hunter from the cat school, who has made enemies and is a little crazy, will definitely use any means necessary in the competition.

Once they find a flaw, they will definitely find a way to kill the Wolf School's Demon Hunter.

So for the sake of Bont and Fred's lives.

Ailin hopes to upgrade Bonte and Fred's Wolf School two-handed swords to level 3 before the competition begins.

This way, we can be absolutely safe when facing the humiliation of those demon hunters from the Cat School.

But there is a difficulty.

It takes 3 experience points to upgrade the two young demon hunters' wolf school two-handed swords to level 1000.

That is 1000 combat points.

Ailin opened the Demon Hunting Notes with his mind.

[Legion name: Wolves' Alliance]

[Level: Level 3]

[Record: 1110/5000]

[Battle Points: 237]

[Skills: Loot Lock LV1, Teaching LV1, Resonance LV2]

[Subjugation Mission: Demon Hunting III (Hunting any monster 37/500)]

There are only eleven days left until the Apprentice Fighting Competition, and Ailin currently has only 237 combat points.

To get 10 points for each water ghost, you need to kill 80 of them.

"The pressure is a bit high!" Ailin thought.

……

Perhaps because the competition was approaching and the leader of the Wolf School was the main target, he attracted all the attention of the enemy.

Ailin and others who had been staying in Baiguoyuan did not encounter any other accidents.

The rhythm of life gradually became regular.

Vesemir is responsible for completing quests that can be exchanged for ingredients for the North Wind recipe.

Ailin and his companions were looking for some simple commissions everywhere.

Earn some extra cash while collecting combat points to upgrade the skills of Bont and Frey.

Ailin originally thought that it would be difficult to collect 800 combat points within ten days.

But I didn’t expect that it would be enough in just three days.

have to say.

The extent of the monster rampage in Kaedwen and even the entire northern continent is obviously not as severe as when the monster hunters were first created.

But it is much better than Geralt's time in later generations.

Every village near a river has commissions from water ghosts.

Many independent farms are offering rewards for killing the evil spirits that can dig holes.

There are also ghosts in the noble cemetery, real or fake vampire castles, and small fog monsters on cloudy days...

As long as you are not afraid of wasting time, danger and variables, you will always find suitable prey for hunting demons.

……

of course.

These were not the reasons why Ailin was able to collect enough points in such a short time.

The real reason is because Ban Ard is adjacent to the Blue Mountains.

And the elves are hiding in the Blue Mountains.

The warlike and elf-hating King Haxor of Kaedwen would start a war with the elves every few years.

In the end, not many elves died, but many of the conscripted farmers died on the battlefield.

The key is.

About twenty kilometers northeast of Baiguoyuan, there are the remains of a battlefield where battles often took place.

According to Bob, the owner of the inn.

There are often many zombies wandering there.

After Ailin led Hughes, Bonte and Fred to the place, they found out...

That's more than just wandering.

Just within three kilometers of the grassland on the battlefield, there are three zombie nests hidden!
Fortunately, Ailin was careful and cautious. When searching for the traces of the ghouls, he opened two tracking guns and immediately found the nest covered by grass and trees.

Otherwise it would be another tough battle, and perhaps one or two of Hughes, Bont and Fred would be seriously injured.

But it became much easier after we found the nest.

Use one of them to test the effectiveness of the North Wind Bomb in destroying monster nests.

After all, in the game, only three types of explosives, Honeycomb, Foehn and Dancing Star, can destroy the monster's nest.

After testing the effect, Ailin discovered that after killing the monsters in the nest with the north wind, using the Igni Sign to set a fire in the nest would also destroy the nest.

then.

Ailin simply used the north wind to destroy the other two nests, and then he and Zeus and the others killed the other ghouls who had survived.

[Hunting Mission: Ghoul I (Kill Ghouls 101/200)]

In one battle, eighty-seven zombies were killed, and the combat points increased by 870.

As it should be.

Not only did Bonte and Fred's demon hunter two-handed swords upgrade to LV3 ahead of schedule.

Under the effect of the Legion skill "Loot Lock LV1".

Ailin also obtained eighty-seven portions of ghoul heart essence, nine small experience beads, and six ghoul treasure chests.

After opening the treasure chest, you will get two small experience beads and four rotten meats.

The only thing that is a bit of a pity is the north wind worth nine hundred orens.

However, a few days after the battle, something strange happened. When Vesemir discovered the nest, he notified the mayors of several nearby towns for safety reasons, but did not ask for compensation due to the suddenness of the situation.

The King of Kaedwen got the news from somewhere.

According to the reward of 600 orens per nest, someone was sent to deliver 1,800 orens to Vesemir.

If it weren't for Ailin knowing what kind of person Hackso was.

I'm afraid some people really think he is a good king who loves his people like his own children.

Afterwards, Vesemir received a letter from the Chief.

Tell them.

When the king sent money.

Although the chief was not with him, he learned about the king's generosity from many people of different identities.

It is clear.

It wasn't just Aylin and the others who were making preparations.

Their enemies were also preparing.

Hackso used money and superficial goodwill to prepare for the assassination of the Apprentice Competition, softening the Chief's will and vigilance in advance.

After obtaining Arryn's consent, Vesemir asked the king's messenger to exchange all the bounties for the recipe materials needed by the North Wind.

In the end, he collected twelve pieces of North Wind materials at a price of one hundred and fifty orens each, and took the opportunity to spend money to buy six more pieces of materials.

Haven't met yet.

Hackso gave them a great gift.

It allowed the five demon hunters including Arryn to truly realize the freedom of the North Wind.

Just don't know.

Will the materials that Hakeso sent eventually become the howling north wind blowing on him?

……

The remaining days were still calm.

Ailin is still looking for commissions, and takes Hughes, Bonte and Fred to hunt monsters and complete the commissions.

However, the initial goal has already been achieved.

The scope of their hunting is more targeted.

[Hunting Mission: Water Ghost II (Kill Water Ghost 490/500)]

In order to prepare for the usual two kills per person in the apprentice competition, the water ghost only killed nineteen.

Avoid triggering a celestial conjunction.

[Hunting Mission: Ghoul I (Kill Ghouls 123/200)]

The zombies killed another twenty-two.

The reason why only so few were killed was certainly not because all the zombies were killed.

The nest is hard to find though.

But in places like Kaedwen and the Blue Mountain Border, where wars often occur, it is impossible to kill all the ghouls.

The reason these Kaedwen ghouls were able to survive was mainly because...

Ten days have passed!

The fighting competition between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School is here!

……

early morning.

The spring sun is warm and the breeze is gentle.

The inn, famous throughout Baiguoyuan for its delicious and unique thick soup, was still crowded with people this morning.

but.

Among the people sitting in their seats, only a few of them said nothing and focused on the delicious food on the table.

Most people's eyes were fixed intentionally or unintentionally on the five unique demon hunters with double swords on their backs in the corner of the first floor of the inn.

"Bang~"

The wooden tray landed gently on the table.

Several witchers stood up.

Seeing this, Bob, who had been watching the situation from behind the counter, immediately walked into the inner room, picked up a basket of still hot butter bread and trotted over.

"Are you leaving, Master Vesemir?"

"Take these breads, which Mary has just baked, and save them for the journey..."

Vesemir was somewhat helpless:

"Thank you so much for your kindness, Bob."

"But we are going to Ban Ade. We can get there by horseback before noon. We don't need to..."

Unfortunately, Vesemir's words had no effect at all.

Bob just stopped him and wouldn't let them go unless they accepted it.

Vesemir had no choice but to accept it.

The action of the Demon Hunter Master taking the bread seemed to instantly activate the world.

A large group of people in the hotel stood up instantly, and everyone's face was filled with gratitude.

"Are you leaving yet? Little Demon Hunter Master? Have a safe journey!"

This is the widowed woman who does laundry next door to the inn and raises two children.

Aelin killed the water ghost who stole the child when she was not paying attention.

She certainly didn't know the identity of Master Witcher Arryn.

She just heard the innkeeper call Vesemir that, so she started calling him Arryn that too.

"Master Demon Hunter, this is the pearl powder and allspice I asked someone to find. Please accept them..."

This is Will, the owner of Baiguoyuan Pharmacy.

He also appeared in the illusion and was once Shadia's student.

Aelin also bought saltpeter from him.

A few days ago,
When Ailin was hunting ghouls, he saved the servant who was delivering herbs to the pharmacy, who was also his son.

However, he saved the people after killing the monster, so he did not ask for any reward at that time.

Think for two seconds.
Ailin accepted the medicinal materials that had obviously been carefully packaged.

It's not just Aelin.

Hughes was also touched on the head by an old lady, and a little girl who looked about the same age as Hughes was staring at him intently.

……

And Vesemir, Bonte, and Fred.

Everyone here has been helped by several witchers.

They all heard the news and came to see off Master Vesemir and his four disciples.

Recently.

Thanks to the activeness of Alin, Hughes, Bunter and Fred.

A large number of water ghosts and zombies were eliminated.

Don't underestimate these two monsters, as they are just the lowest level monsters. They seem to be far from the level of The Witcher 3, where you'll often encounter missions with daytime wraiths, scavengers, and werewolves.

In this real world, it is these common monsters that have the greatest impact on the farmers and civilians in the village.

Which family doesn’t have a few relatives whose children were dragged away by water ghosts while playing in the water?

Which village doesn’t have a few farmers who are brutally killed and eaten by zombies during harvest time?
Especially the ghouls.

In recent years, due to Haxo's bellicosity, the number of ghouls has increased.

When they gather in groups, their courage also increases.

In the past, as long as civilians moved in groups, most zombies would be scared away.

But this trick no longer works now.

It takes at least ten people working together to scare away those beasts.

therefore.

Ailin and his men blew up the ghoul's lair, and then hunted down water ghosts and ogres.

The reputation of the Wolf School witchers in the villages around Ban Ader seems to be on the rise.

Many villagers gradually realized.

Although he is also a demon hunter.

The orthodoxy of the Wolf School is completely different from the scum of the Cat School who only know how to kill and rob and are often as mentally ill as lunatics.

The rumors that demon hunters were cold-blooded mutant monsters were also spontaneously refuted.

Looking back at the changes in the attitudes of the common people over the past few days, Ailin and several other demon hunters were surrounded by the simple villagers and mounted on horses, and escorted all the way out of the Hundred Fruit Garden.

Ailin came back to his senses only when he reached the road sign.

He looked behind him, at the crowd that was still watching them and had not left, and sighed softly.

"Just by killing monsters for a few days, I can gain such great prestige..."

"No wonder the Wolf School's demon hunters are so hated!"
