Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 500 Magic Plants! Unboxing!
Ailin's gaze lingered on Ianna's old face for a long time, and the flickering candlelight flowed through her silver hair.

He would not belittle himself. The fact that the Temple of Meliteli designated him as the Holy Son was certainly not all bad for the temple. Otherwise, no matter how much Ianna had the final say in the temple, she would still be criticized by other priests and believers.

The double miracle of the May Day prophecy and the blessing before the evil god's arrival had long since turned into a boiling legend in the taverns and markets of Elland.

People tell the story of a blue-eyed demon hunter who saved Elland and drove out the evil god, and rumors have long mentioned something like the Son of God.

After the temple designated Arryn as the Son of God, it was also responding to the consensus of the believers and consolidating the foundation of Meliteli's faith around Elland.

At the same time, it is also possible to gain a group of believers who have a favorable impression of the demon hunters. After deepening the relationship with the Wolf School and other demon hunter schools, it can more or less make up for the shortcomings of the temple in slaying evil and defending the way.

This is becoming increasingly important in this increasingly chaotic and chaotic world.

And Ianna, who strongly recommended him, was able to clear up the position of the high priest that was shaken by the failure to receive the oracle.

Even Ireland was able to mitigate the impact of the two disasters and recover its population and prosperity as quickly as possible.

However, these seemingly insignificant benefits are far less than the combined hostility of the three civil partnerships of Redania, Ben Ade, and the Risberg Civilian Partnership.

Besides, what do those benefits mean to the increasingly aging Ianna?

Don't cause trouble, don't offend those big forces, and leave a good reputation after death. This is the best solution for Ianna at this moment.

Aelin looked into Ianna's eyes.

He still doesn't know why Aunt Ianna thinks so highly of him.

From the moment they first met, he introduced Duke Mason to him and selflessly taught him rituals. If it weren't for the fact that priests at the Temple of Meritelli could only be women, he would have almost given him the seat of high priest.

There was a warm and soft light flowing in the old man's eyes.

This is kindness from the elders.

"I see."

Ailin glanced at the astonished Philippa Eilhart, knowing that Sister Ianna had proposed the Ritual of the Son in public to increase his voice in the rescue operation, and nodded:
"After rescuing Heng Gedimides, I will return to Elland."

Ianna nodded with satisfaction and smiled with her eyes narrowed.

"The Temple of Meliteli will welcome that day well, and the entire northern continent will cheer for that moment."

It doesn't have to be such a big scene... Ailin felt a little numb.

However, looking at Ianna's eager expression, the witcher knew that it was useless to say anything, so he just sighed softly in his heart.

After rescuing Hen Gedimides...

Some are too old.

I still don’t know how I will face the Chief when I return to Kaer Morhen tomorrow...

……

After leaving the reception hall, Philippa Eilhart left first, using the excuse of informing Tissaia de Vries of the result, and promised to return early the next morning and go to Kaer Morhen with them.

On the way back, Ianna chatted with Ayling for a while about the follow-up of the Evans incident.

Duke Mason had already written the official document and in the evening, he ordered the fastest courier to deliver it to Vizima, the capital of Temeria.

Of course, the version in the letter was the same as the one that the bard named Yevgeny Velad spread in taverns and markets.

Evans, the Redalian sinner who killed the witcher, was sentenced to fair punishment by the great and wise Duke Mason of Elland, and beheaded by the Duke's guards in the presence of Tissaia de Vries, the legendary wizard of the Wizarding Society and the dean of Aretuza Academy, and Ianna, the high priestess of the Temple of Meriteli.

When Ianna said this, she was also secretly making fun of Tissaia de Vries, saying that it was because her reputation was stolen that she was so angry that she returned to Aretusa in embarrassment.

Of course, everyone knew it was just a joke.

When they arrived at the priests' residence, Ianna and Lisa said goodbye to them. They would leave as soon as Philippa Ehrhart arrived tomorrow morning. Most likely, they would only see each other once more this year.

And considering Ianna's age, and the speed at which she has aged in just half a month, if we think in a negative way, it is really hard to say whether the farewell tomorrow will be the last one.

Ailin didn't want to think in that direction, but the deep and shallow grooves on Ianna's face kept reminding him.

Ianna is very old.

So when it was time to say goodbye, Ailin tried to ask if there was any life-extending potion that would be useful to her, but she refused with a smile.

"Aging naturally is the greatest blessing given by Lady Meritelli."

These light words silenced Dante and Vesemir, who had just helped Arryn to persuade him.

Ailin couldn't say anything to dissuade him.

But after thinking about it, he felt relieved.

Although witchers, like warlocks, have become immortal due to the transformation of magic, to be honest, even now, Ailin dare not say that he can live until next year.

It is possible that before Ianna returned to Meliteli's golden kingdom, he had already left in Ban Ade, in the Spiral, or even in some unknown corner of the northern continent.

Compared to Ianna who stays in Elland all day, this probability is actually higher.

Especially considering his increasingly outrageous enemies.

Aging naturally is indeed a blessing.

It is also worth mentioning that although Dante, Vesemir and Ianna seemed to intentionally or unintentionally want him and Lisa to stay and say goodbye properly.

However, unlike in the past, Lisa was unexpectedly free and easy. She said goodbye to them, waved, and then helped Ianna leave.

Vesemir and Dante both teased him, saying that Philippa Eilhart's presence made Lisa angry, and asked him to chase after her and say goodbye properly.

In response, Ailin just smiled and said nothing, and of course did not really chase after him.

He felt that Lisa's strangeness was not because she was jealous of Philippa Ehrhart. The girl who was able to cheer up and live a good life after the death of her parents was not such a superficial person.

On the contrary, this resolute and decisive attitude seems more like someone has figured something out and made some kind of decision.

Ailin felt inexplicably lost for a few seconds, then felt relieved.

Lisa was only fifteen or sixteen years old, but he was already thirty years old mentally. Although he was an orphan in both of his lives, he was born in a traditional big country and had received a good education, so he still couldn't do such a shameless thing.

After all, Lysa's affection for him was because of saving her life, but his target at the time was actually the "human couple" mentioned by Ada Emin, that is, the elf Shadia and the knight Hod under Viscount Hudson.

Lisa was just rescued by chance.

Moreover, she has helped him a lot during this period, not to mention saving Xiu Si.

The life-saving grace has already been repaid, so there is no need to repay it with your body.

Back in the witcher's hut, Aelin tried to teach Vesemir, Erni, and Kral the battle cry version of "Roar: Language of the Wild".

This is what Ailin figured out in the past few days when he failed to activate the effect of the evil god element.

Therefore, the effect was not as expected. Fred, who was suspected to have also absorbed the "growth factor", did not comprehend it. However, after Ailin enlightened Dante and Fred with "Battle Cry: Fury", Fred actually comprehended "Battle Cry: Words of the Wild" on his own.

This made Ailin interested in and speculate about the Way of Beast Roar and the connections between the various roars.

He felt that this connection might be the key to breaking away from the evil god and transforming the beast roar into a war roar.

Fred's comprehension of "Battle Cry: Tongue of the Wild" was a great stimulation to other witchers. Vesemir, Dante, Erni, Klar and others trained and tried for a long time until the moon was high in the sky before they stopped and went back to the room to rest.

Unfortunately, in the end, no other witcher except Fred learned it.

……

"Bang~"

The door was closed.

As his body fell, the wooden stool automatically adjusted its armrests and backrest to fit his body shape.

The room was filled with flowers that trembled in the wind. The elegant floral scent mixed together to become rich, yet different from that in the daytime, making one feel slightly drowsy.

The green vine also sprang out from the ground and affectionately wrapped around his right hand.

"Ok?"

This series of natural movements made Ailin stunned.

"These plants in the room seem to be different from those plants outside that are catalyzed by the 'growth elements'. They seem..." He frowned and observed for a while, "They seem to be more spiritual."

Before leaving the cabin in the evening, he hadn't noticed it yet, he just felt that the "growth elements" were a little lush and lively under the "catalysis" of the natural origin.

But at this moment, he saw a huge difference compared to the lime trees and other plants that "grew" outside.

The linden tree and other affected plants simply "obeyed orders" and grew, but had no other "active" intimate responses.

But here...

The green vine wrapped around his hand was just like a kitten or puppy that hadn't seen its owner for a long time.

Tulips, hyacinths, wisteria, daisies...the intimate and flattering emotions are particularly obvious, which is fundamentally different from the plants outside that he "promoted to life".

"Is this... is this being 'awakened' by the Origin?" Ailin speculated.

"Fortunately, I didn't do anything to hide it during the day. It's rare to see such strong emotions, as if a plant has its own intelligence."

Ailin touched the smooth branches of the ivy. As he touched it, the vine stretched and curled, and finally trembled with comfort.

It really looks like a petted puppy.

Such an intelligent green vine is definitely more useful and lethal than ordinary vines and tree roots in the woods.

"But..." Ailin stopped what he was doing. "Even if I don't do anything in the evening, leave tomorrow, and go back to the temple next time, it's such a long time. Even if the temple doesn't move the room for me, I'm afraid these plants will have a hard time surviving for long..."

Undecided thoughts.

"Shasha~"

The green vine seemed to sense his thoughts and it curled up and pulled out a small section of its root covered in soil from the ground.

Then he placed the soil and roots in the pocket on the right side of the leather armor.

Followed closely.

Tulips, hyacinths, wisteria, daisies... In this small room, it was as if time had suddenly gone back, and all the flowers and plants began to grow in reverse.

The blooming petals closed, the leaves shrank, the roots and stems retracted, and finally quietly burrowed into the soil.

In the blink of an eye.

Except for the earthen boards on the walls and the floor, which also had many cracks, the room had almost been restored to its original appearance.

Ailin was stunned for a long time looking at the empty room.

There are so-called magical plants in the world of Witcher, but apart from monsters like the Giant Thorn Demon Tree, magical plants only refer to plants that contain magic power, such as the berry and sage.

It's not like the Whomping Willow, Mandrake, and Biting Cabbage in Harry Potter that actually hit, scream, and bite people.

And the plants in front of him really had the flavor of magical plants in the high magic world.

Although they look like just some ordinary plants.

"It seems that after returning to Kaer Morhen, there is another option for exploration..."

Ailin smacked his lips, followed the cracks in the walls and the ground, picked up the seeds that faintly exuded spirituality one by one, and put them in the reagent bag.

After the green vine noticed this, it also poked its roots out of the pocket, entangled itself with the soil, and drilled into the reagent bag.

"Well, you're quite well behaved." He couldn't help but smile.

After climbing out of the window and digging out the wisteria seeds from the soil outside the house, Ailin did not rush back. Instead, he opened the Demon Hunting Notes on a whim.

[Name: Ailin]

Before I knew it, I had accumulated seventy-seven treasure chests that I hadn't opened.

And these treasure chests, even those of the wolf and the crow, are very important to him.

Because he doesn't have the formula for the sword oil made from beast oil yet, he doesn't want to suffer the punishment of pedicure again when the evil god descends.

Although beast-type creatures and monsters are generally not difficult to deal with, since there are enhanced and advanced beast oils, who knows if a beast-type evil spirit will appear and possess it.

Before rescuing Heng Gedimidis, Ailin still wanted to collect as many sword oil recipes as possible.

Now he only has a full set of corpse-eating creature oil (if it is high-level, it is the highest level of sword oil), ghost oil and enhanced ghost oil, mixed animal oil and hanged ghost, these four types of sword oil.

There are also eight kinds of sword oils: remnant, vampire, construct, insectoid, cursed, ogre, beast, and dragon. He doesn't even have the lowest level one.

This made him extremely insecure.

Who knows what will happen in Ban Ader, where there is the threat of the Wild Hunt and Ottolan, the big boss of the Risberg Civil Partnership who likes biological modification?
Even with Philippa Eilhart around, he didn't want to take any chances.

So after thinking about it for a while, Ailin set off towards Meliteli's sanctuary.
