Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 508: The Missing Wolf School Grandmaster

She was wearing a gray-green dress with lace, and she followed Arestor out of the shadows under the city gate with graceful steps.

The long dark golden hair falls down over her shoulders, shining brightly in the sunlight, looking natural and noble.

Beside her were two female attendants wearing silver armor inlaid with gold patterns, with elven scimitars on their waists and short bows on their backs, and their eyes were alert.

Contrary to the image of a reckless girl in black nightgown and gray linen dress in memory, Francesca Findaby now looks like a real princess.

Uh……

At least disguised as a princess.

After walking out of the city gate, Francesca Findaby, who was elegant and had the temperament of an elf aristocrat, almost the moment she saw him, her doe-like blue eyes immediately filled with excitement.

His arms paused, then he raised them, and the unfamiliar aura was suddenly broken, making him look more like a naughty little deer being watched over by an elder.

She seemed to want to say hello to Aelin.

But then, Francesca Findaby glanced at the guards on both sides, raised her arms, and then immediately put them down, just blinking her eyes and nodding slightly.

Ailin nodded upon seeing this and turned his gaze towards his deputy leader.

Aristo's prestige among the witcher apprentices is not comparable to that of Vesemir and Dante, or even that of Captain Arryn, who is rarely seen all day long.

After a rebuke, the noisy voices suddenly quieted down, and the apprentices made way.

Aristo waved to the apprentices and told them to go back to their guard duty and not to gather here and mess up everything.

The apprentices sighed and complained as they left reluctantly.

“Vesemir, Arryn… huh?” Arestor’s eyes swept over Vesemir and Arryn, and when they landed on Dante, he paused, “Dante? Aren’t you supposed to be traveling with your three apprentices? Why are you back with Vesemir and the others?”

Vesemir and Arryn had gone out temporarily in the first place, so it wasn't surprising that they were back now.

However, the witcher who traveled with his apprentices never came back in the summer, especially in the first year.

"I accidentally fell flat on my face and almost couldn't come back." Danti sighed, looking lost in thought.

What a setback...Aristo raised his eyebrows curiously, but didn't say anything.

"Don't ask me yet! I'll tell you when I have time." Dante shook his head and interrupted Aresto.

Aristo scratched his head and had to look at the other two witcher masters.

"Vesemir, Arlin, is the matter outside settled?"

Seeing Vesemir and Arryn, he looked quite happy and patted their shoulders vigorously.

"Well," Vesemir nodded, "Holden Qui-Gon is fine. The dwarf just sent us a commission on behalf of someone else."

“But the result was good.”

He smiled and patted the leather armor on Ailin's body.

In just a few months since its creation, Ailin's Wolf School master suit has experienced many hardships. It is naturally not brand new at this moment, but at first glance it is not shabby either. It is just slightly worn and cannot meet the standards of the blacksmith shop for maintenance.

You should know that this set of leather armor has not been enchanted by a warlock.

This means that Holden Qui-Gon is indeed the top dwarf forging master, and his materials are solid.

Otherwise, there will be giant griffins, thorn demons, tides of corpse-eating creatures, evil gods, lewk-headed spirits... Ordinary leather armor should be overhauled at this time, and you may have to order a new set.

As a master suit of the Wolf School, the leather armor on Vesemir's body was repaired several times by Duke Mason's blacksmith a few days ago.

The advantage of the material is reflected here. No matter how precious the flying lizard skin is, it is not as good as the dragon skin, even the dragon skin that has not been enchanted.

of course.

When the leather armor on Erin really needs maintenance and repair, the price will definitely be several times more expensive than Vesemir's.

But it was all worth it. If it weren't for this new set of armor, he would have been seriously injured when he ambushed the Wild Hunt and the wizard Ben Ader in the Parsoron Forest. Not to mention the time when the evil god came.

Although armor is not as effective as a long sword in combat, it can really reduce damage and save lives at critical moments.

Besides, for Ailin now, the cost of repairing the armor is nothing.

Aristo suppressed his smile.

A normal commission obviously does not need to use life as an excuse. The commission initiated by the dwarf forging master of Vergen is obviously not a good one, and it is probably related to the war between Aedirn and Kaedwen.

However, there were so many people talking that Aresto did not intend to ask in detail and was about to change the subject.

"what?"

His eyes fell on the dark red leather armor on Ailin, and Arestor's expression became serious and he exclaimed in surprise.

"This texture... is it dragon skin?!!" He rubbed the leather armor, his face filled with doubt.

"The dragon skin of a red dragon." Vesemir smiled.

"Why, Holden Qui-Gon..." Aristo hesitated to speak.

Because of the texture of the dragon skin, he paid close attention and discovered that the thread connecting the magic-blocking gold and the dragon skin was equally extraordinary. It was the silk of the poisonous scorpion spider queen.

Calculating the time, this Wolf School Master Set was obviously not a custom request from Vesemir and Arryn, and Holden Qui-Gon would not improve the quality of the forging materials for no reason, so there is only one answer...

The host who commissioned the project acted first and reported later.

Could it be that Vesemir and Arryn have already gotten involved in the war between the two countries?

They have been friends for hundreds of years, so how could Vesemir not think of Arestor's thoughts?

“We didn’t accept the commission…” Vesemir shook his head.

Although they did not accept the commission, their participation in the war between Aedirn and Kaedwen was not low. The capture of the great griffin was their greatest "contribution", and all of this was mentioned in detail in the letter back to Chief Soi.

The background of the Holden Qui-Gon incident was of course also in the letter.

But judging from Aristo's expression, Chief Soi didn't seem to tell him.

He watched without even realizing that Kaedwen was gone.

Vesemir, who had no idea what the Chief was thinking, paused and said, "This matter is more complicated. We'll talk about it later."

Aristo nodded slightly and changed the subject: "Have you made an appointment with the enchanter? Who are you going to see?"

"Lady Tissaia de Vris has promised to enchant the leather armor," Aelin said softly.

And it was not the original plan to enchant it after going to Aretuza.

Before the plan to rescue Heng Gedimides begins, Tissaia de Vris will take the time to enchant his Wolf Master Set.

The reason why this task was not completed in the Temple of Meliteli was because the materials needed to enchant the dragon skin were not prepared.

Even a warlock of Tissaia de Vris's status would need time to collect and prepare those things.

"Tissaia de Vris?" Aristo was stunned and hesitated, "That... female sorceress?"

"That's the sorceress you were thinking of..." Vesemir nodded with a smile, glanced at the elves who were slowly approaching, and deliberately raised his voice, "The dean of Aretuza Academy and the only sorceress of the Association of Talents and Skills, Tissaia de Vris..."

"It seems that your journey after coming down the mountain was very exciting..." Aristo raised his eyebrows, receiving Vesemir's hint.

"It is indeed wonderful," Vesemir smacked his lips. "Bring your East of East with you when you return. It will be the best accompaniment to wine and food. But it seems that your life in Kaer Morhen is not boring either." He looked past Aristoth: "Should we introduce our guests?"

Aristo opened his mouth but didn't say anything.

Francesca Findaby, who had deliberately left some time for their meeting, came over gracefully with two elf maids in fluttering dresses.

"We are no strangers to the Wolf School."

She nodded slightly to Vesemir, then tilted her head to look at the young demon hunter beside her, took a deep breath, and said:

"Alin, long time no see."

Francesca Findaby's voice is as clear as ever, like the sound of a spring flowing in the mountains.

In a trance.

The familiar voice and the familiar face made Ailin feel as if he had returned to half a year ago.

Abandoned mines, reckless elves, fake villages...

Although initially, his experience with Francesca Findaby was quite unpleasant, and even left him with a certain shadow, he had an indescribable distrust of every sorceress who partnered with him.

But if it weren't for Francesca Findaby's care in the fake orchard, Shadia, an elf who was so cruel that she abandoned her husband and her own children, and was also very vigilant, would probably not have saved him when he was unconscious.

Even if the cause of his coma was Francesca Findaby herself, it could not be denied that the two of them had indeed shared joys and sorrows.

And to be honest, after waking up from the coma, they cooperated pretty well.

In addition...

In Viscount Hudson's abandoned mine, when he subdued the rock trolls such as Shanshitou...

When Aden-Elni, Kral and the others were kidnapped and ambushed in Vigfortz...

In the Forest of Pasolon, he started a war between the Wild Hunt and the wizards, and when the fishermen got the advantage...

The "Night Color" given to him by Francesca Findabel, which can hide one's body in the dark, really helped him overcome many difficulties.

Perhaps that's why.

Ailin, who thought he would be very repulsive when meeting Francesca Findaby again, actually felt a bit of joy of meeting an old friend after a long separation.

"It's been a long time indeed."

Aelin greeted politely and introduced them to Vesemir and the others.

"Vesemir, this is Francesca Findaby, the one I told you about, who helped me before the apprentice fighting competition between the Wolf School and the Cat School."

“No! No!” Francesca Findaby waved her hands repeatedly, her eyes flickering. “I’m the one who needs help. I’ve always been holding them back…”

The two of them were humble for a long while, causing Vesemir, Aristo, and Dante to look at each other in bewilderment, their eyes constantly communicating something.

Erni, Klar and others stood quietly not far away, also communicating with their eyes.

They felt their scalps tingling for the chief warlock of the Demon Hunting Corps, Ms. Margarita Laux Antille.

How come a priest just left and an elf appeared?
Moreover, this elf named Francesca Findaby not only looked far better than any other woman they had ever seen, she was simply the incarnation of the goddess of beauty.

Unlike Lysa, she also pursued Kaer Morhen...

wrong!

More than that!
The young witcher's eyes fell on the owl that was peering over Arryn's shoulder.

There's also a sorceress who's spying openly and secretly!
The young witchers looked at each other.

This time the enemies are numerous and powerful. How can they help Miss Mary?
The young witcher was at a loss.

At this moment, the owl seemed to feel the burning gaze coming from behind. Without moving its body, its little head suddenly turned 180 degrees.

The sharp gaze instantly swept over the young demon hunters who were plotting secretly, frightening them so much that they trembled and immediately looked away.

for a long time.

Wait for the owl to turn around.

The young demon hunter finally met the determined gaze again.

loyalty!

……

On the other side, Francesca Findaby and Alin, who were having a happy conversation, were unaware of the young witcher's little thoughts.

During the conversation, Ailin also learned the purpose of Ain Sheedy's visit.

They came to help the Wolf School as agreed between Arlin and Shadia half a year ago.

The original agreement between Arryn and Shadia was that when the defense of Kaer Morhen of the Destroyer Wolf School took place, they hoped that Ion Sheedi could send some elves to help them defend Kaer Morhen, resist the mobs in the original book, and catch the king and nobles of Kaedwen and the wizards of Ban Ard off guard.

But now...

The situation is changing so rapidly.

Haxo, the mastermind of the conspiracy to assassinate the Wolf School, died in Ban Ade half a year ago, killed by the Water Ghost King.

At this time, most of the flesh and blood had been completely decomposed, and only some bones remained in the coffin.

Now Kaedwen is almost destroyed, and even if the descendants of Haxu know that he killed Haxu, they will not be able to spare the energy to help.

What's more, compared to Aedirn, the revenge of Arryn killing Haxor was a little later.

As for Ban Ade, he was caught up in rumors of murdering the king, and was later harassed by the Wild Hunt, whose greatest evil was to send Vigourfortz to attack them.

seem……

The threat of seeking help from Ain Sheedi has long since dissipated, and the arrival of Ain Sheedi and others is no longer necessary.

But is this really the case?
Don't forget that although the Risberg Civil Partnership has not yet reacted, it will definitely fall out with the Wolf School.

Even with Tissaia de Vris mediating on behalf of the school in the Brotherhood of Warlocks, it was only to avoid provoking unanimous hostility from the wizarding community, rather than forcing the Risberg Civil Partnership to give up its revenge.

Given the moral integrity of the wizards, revenge is inevitable.

It is foreseeable that Kaer Morhen will face the threat of the Risberg Civil Partnership for a long time in the future.

And that’s not all…

If Sonny successfully established the Warlock Kingdom with Ban Ade as the core, how could they let go of the Wolf School?

Therefore, for the current Wolf School, every bit of strength increase is precious.

Ain Sheedy's assistance comes just in time!
"By the way, Ailin..."

As Ailin followed everyone into the castle hall, his thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Francesca's voice.

"The contract between the Free Elves and the Wolf School still needs to be signed by Grandmaster Soi, but we..."

Francesca paused awkwardly:
"You haven't seen him yet?"
