Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 23 Twins (Thanks to the monthly ticket of the book friend "Non-existent Book Friend")

"Did he find it?" Leto couldn't help but ask.

Although the apprentice did not speak, his footsteps were following the location pointed out by Vesemir and walking east along the river.

Apparently discovered something.

"I don't know." Vesemir raised the brim of his wide-brimmed hat, his eyes fixed on Arryn.

"After all, it is common knowledge that water ghosts live near water. Even if we don't follow the traces, we can definitely find these water ghosts by following the direction of the river."

Laito smiled and said, "How about a bet? I bet Ailin found the trace..."

"No gambling."

Vesemir rolled his eyes, quickly dispelling Leto's delusions.

How could the Demon Hunter Master make the same mistake twice?

Elsa was still hanging on Erin's back.

Ignoring Leto's regretful expression, Vesemir walked up to Arryn and asked:
"How's it going? Did you find it?"

"It should be eastward along the direction of the river."

Vesemir did not comment, and then asked: "How did you determine that?"

Ailin hesitated for a moment.

Seeing his apprentice's silence, Vesemir assumed that he was just guessing based on his intuition.

Little did he know that there was so much useful information within Ailin's field of vision that he didn't know where to start.

The moment it approached the trace, the red light that made up the claw mark flew up and turned into tiny red spots of light.

These spots of light combined into a pair of red webbed legs that only extended below the knees.

After a few seconds, the legs began to move.

The red claws fell from mid-air and stepped on the grass.

Some of the light spots were shaken off and scattered on the grass around the paw.

The main part also gathered its claw marks again the moment it landed, like an ant returning to its nest.

This operation is literally feeding food into one's mouth.

Ailin bent down and pointed at the grass with red spots falling on it, and said:
"The liquid droplets on these blades of grass are all mucus from the water ghost."

After taking a look, Vesemir brushed the grass with his right hand and sniffed it.
"Yes, it smells like rancid mud. It comes from a water ghost."

Brush past a few blades of grass again.

Vesemir stood up, looked at Arryn in doubt, and asked:

"How can you tell with your naked eyes that this is the mucus from the water ghost?"

I have a cheat! ... Ailin showed typical Xius ignorance on his face and said, "Just use your eyes to see, isn't it very simple?"

"Can't Master Vesemir do it?"

Vesemir was stunned for a moment, then quickly shook his head and said:
"Of course I can track the water ghost, but..."

"Forget it, go on. This only confirms that the water ghost passed by here. How do you determine the direction it left?"

The Demon Hunter Master's way of changing the subject was still so abrupt.

Of course Ailin would not hold on to it, so he took advantage of the situation and said confidently:

"Knowing the distribution of these mucus, the answer is already there."

He stood up, and with his fingertips he simulated the mucus falling, and said to the curious Vesemir and Leto:

"Due to the speed, the slime fell on the grass at an angle and in a splashing shape."

“It’s easy to tell because of the tilt direction and the obstruction of the plants.”

"This water ghost is heading east along the stream."

Vesemir thought for a moment.

The direction Ailin determined coincided with the answer in his heart.

However, the apprentice's method of judgment was different from his.

Vesemir was silent for a moment, then sighed and said, "Your judgment is correct, but now I will teach you another method. Listen carefully..."

Tracking is the most important part of the knowledge that the Wolf School mentor imparts to his apprentices. This is often the secret of every demon hunter and their means of making a living.

In the past, only the surviving apprentices after the mountain trial had the opportunity to learn this knowledge.

After the spring equinox of the second year of the Alpine Trial, the school will assign apprentices to the witchers who go down the mountain.

Within five years, these apprentices will follow the witcher to travel around the continent until the witcher feels that the apprentice is ready to "graduate". Only then will the apprentice become independent and become a real witcher.

The witchers of the Wolf School jokingly call this the Trial of Travel.

The relationship between a witcher mentor and his apprentice gradually becomes closer during the journey, as they continue to impart skills and experience, and as they share life and death in commissions.

Eventually, a master-disciple relationship unique to the Wolf School was achieved.

Leto was once Vesemir's traveling apprentice.

Vesemir was also once the chief wandering apprentice.

Of course, most of the demon hunters' master-disciple relationships can be traced back to the Chief.

"Vision, smell, hearing, touch... a demon hunter's senses are not weak." Vesemir walked to the bush that Arlin had analyzed. "For example, it was not vision that made me notice this bush, but smell."

"Sense of smell?" Ailin sniffed.

Although the herbal potion transformed his body, the only smell he could feel in his nose was the freshness of grass and the faint smell of soil.

"Yes, when I walked into this area, my sense of smell warned me that something was wrong here."

Vesemir tilted his head and noticed that the apprentice's nose was moving more and more, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise slightly.

"It's not that the more air you breathe in, the better. You have to learn to distinguish."

Vesemir stood up, pressed his index finger on the right end of the apprentice's nose, and said:

"Close your eyes and control the mutant organs here."

Arryn closed his eyes upon hearing this, but could not sense any mutated organ where Vesemir was pointing.

"Discard human perceptions. You are a demon hunter. You have more control over your body than you think."

As Vesemir's index finger pressed, Arryn seemed to really feel the difference.

The heart beats rapidly and the blood carries energy throughout the body.

"felt it!"

Ailin cried out in surprise.

There are actually "doors" on both sides of the nose!
Unfortunately.

Originally, the two doors were about to be opened, but due to Ailin's emotional ups and downs, they were hidden again.

it's fine.

"Ding, a clue to the skill [Tracking] is found."

"Do you want to spend 1 small experience beads to unlock the skill?"

Ailin:?
Ailin quickly opened the character panel.

"Tracking LV1" is still on the special skill column.

Two searches?

Ailin was a little surprised, but still spent a skill point to unlock it.

At this time.

Vesemir felt the mutated organ under his index finger, which he hid again due to his emotional ups and downs, and comforted him:
"Don't force it. It's normal if you can't get it to open the first time. Just try again tomorrow. But remember, you can only try once a day."

This training was supposed to be conducted after the mountain trial. Ailin hadn't even completed the potion transformation of the "main meal", and the mutated organ on the side of his nose might not have been adjusted yet.

"Master Vesemir."

Ailin closed his eyes, but in his short six-word greeting, he was filled with the joy of discovering a new world.

"What's wrong?" Vesemir asked puzzledly.

"I... smell it!"
