Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 515: The Miracle Child of the Previous Generation
"The reason why it cannot be replicated is because the main material of the Chief Green Grass Trial is a dragon?" Ailin asked.

"You know?" Vera tilted her head and looked over in surprise.

Few people in the entire Northern Continent know the formula for the Soi Green Grass Trial.

Aelin nodded. “Vesemir mentioned some of this a while ago when he was talking about how the Witcher Order split up.”

"He also said that the Wolf School has the most comprehensive decoction formulas and experimental records for the Green Grass Trial."

"Vesemir..." Vera nodded slightly, "He has been with Soi for a long time, so he knows more."

"But the reason why Soi's example cannot be replicated is not just because of the materials of the Green Grass Trial."

"In the 10th century, in order to save humans from the harm of monsters, the Warlock Brotherhood began research on strengthening humans, which later became the Demon Hunters."

"But in essence, what the council wanted at the time was not to strengthen human strength, physique or other physical strength, but mystery, magic, and abilities that can only be awakened naturally. They wanted to find a way for ordinary people to awaken their warlock talents."

"For the Warlock Brotherhood, physical enhancement is low-level. The awakening of the warlock's talent is the future of mankind."

"It's not just the arrogance of the warlocks who command enough power to destroy the city."

"The more important reason is..."

Vera paused and said in a deep voice:
"The strength of the flesh cannot break through the limit and reach a higher level."

"Great Deed Container?" Ailin had a flash of inspiration.

"That's right," Vera nodded. "The rampage of the monsters is just an excuse for the Warlock Brotherhood to trick the human rulers into investing resources."

"The main reason for launching the Demon Hunter Project is that the research on the Great Cause Container has reached a bottleneck."

"The experiment required a lot of material - what was called 'voluntary volunteers' at the time."

"Of course, high-level warlocks are unwilling to take risks. At the same time, there are too few of them to serve as samples for the experiment."

"The Warlock Brotherhood still needs these people to operate."

"But there aren't many low-level warlocks either."

"That time was different from now when there was both the Ban Ader School for Wizards and the Aretuza School for Sorceresses."

"The training method at that time was the master-apprentice system. Since many famous warlocks were unwilling to accept apprentices, the total number of low-level warlocks was actually less than that of famous high-level warlocks."

"That's why mentors who have difficulty in having children will treat their apprentices as real family members. They will not use them as materials and consumables for the Great Deed Container - also called the Holy Grail at that time."

"So they turned their attention to ordinary people." Ailin's face didn't look good.

No wonder he felt something was strange when he heard about the origin of the Witcher.

The warlocks at that time seemed too great and selfless, with a lot of resources and research efforts invested in protecting ordinary people. This was not very similar to the current image of Ben Ade and Risberg Civil Partnership, which ignored the lives of ordinary people and secretly conducted experiments.

how?

Is morality collapsing so quickly?
It turns out they have always been birds of a feather.

Vera's ruby ​​eyes fixed on the witcher and she sighed softly, "This is how the world works, Aelin."

"Under the pretext of a high-sounding excuse, the lower class people are always food, either for the nobles or the sorcerers..."

"I know, just continue." Ailin took a deep breath.

Vera nodded and continued, "Activating the warlock talents of ordinary people is the essence of the Demon Hunter plan. The Holy Grail plan requires a large number of test subjects with awakened talents."

"But you should know what happened next."

Aelin nodded.

"The demon hunter successfully awakened his magic talent, but it was greatly castrated and could not be called a warlock at all." Vera continued, "Although such 'materials' successfully suppressed the ferocious monsters and improved the living environment of humans."

"But it was naturally worthless for the Holy Grail Project at the time."

"Cosimo Malaspina, the leader of the plan, was ready to give up, but his apprentice Arzu was not."

"It is said that Alzu has longed for the heroic way of knighthood since he was young, and once fell in love with a sorceress named Liliana who wanted to create a safer world and completely get rid of all the monsters lurking in the shadows."

"So he discussed with his mentor and made a few final attempts..."

"He succeeded?" Ailin raised his eyebrows.

"No, he failed." Vera shook her head, "But an attempt he made before unexpectedly had a unique effect."

"At that time, although the dragon material green grass trial was successful, there was no other example besides Soi, so after Alzu paid attention to it for a while, he moved his eyes away and conducted other experiments."

"However, Soi had just finished his apprenticeship and had not been traveling in the northern continent for long when he reached his physical limit."

"He found Alzu..."

"Wait!" Ailin interrupted, "The Chief found Alzu? Didn't Alzu find out during the inspection?"

"No." Vera shook her head. "Just like what Soi said just now, when the body reaches its limit, it will have its own sense."

She paused and explained, "For a sorcerer, it is a momentary overflow of thoughts, like a soul leaving the body."

"For a demon hunter, it is the feeling of extreme fullness of the body, like forcing clean water into an overflowing bottle."

"Moreover, these two feelings will appear again after my body reaches its limit, every time I release a powerful spell or fight with all my might. I won't miss them."

It seems that it is not just a matter of reaching the limit of a single attribute, but at least the three attributes of strength, agility, and constitution must all reach their limits... Ailin thought.

but……

The three attributes have reached their limit. Is there really anyone in this world who can do this?

Is the effect of the herbal decoction with Julong as the main ingredient so strong?
Ailin was suddenly shocked.

"What's wrong?" Vera asked.

He couldn't help but ask, "Besides the Chief, is there anyone else who can practice to this extreme?"

"I only know of Soi's case." Vera shook her head.

"That's right..." Ailin agreed.

There is no such thing as fighting spirit training in the demon hunter world, and it is impossible for ordinary people to fully tap the limits of their bodies.

All the supernatural powers in this world are related to magic, not physical strength.

But the other worlds are not necessarily...

Ailin thought of the Wild Hunt captain in the spiral who couldn't even see the sword being drawn.

He was certain that Ain El had exceeded the limits of his physical body.

I just don't know how many people in the Wild Hunt have broken through their limits in combat power, and what realm the legendary King of the Wild Hunt is in?
"Alin?"

"It's okay, just continue." Ailin came back to his senses and smiled apologetically.

Vera continued, "Soy found Arzu, and at that time, his research on demon hunters failed in the minds of the Warlock Brotherhood and Cosimo Malaspina."

"But Alzu gained enough reputation among the Brotherhood of Warlocks, the great nobles of Temeria, and the common people because of this research, and he exchanged it for the key points of building the Holy Grail early on."

"I have to say that Arzu is indeed a rare genius." "He tried to improve the ritual of the 'Holy Grail' to adapt it to the demon hunter, or more precisely, to Soi's physique..."

"They succeeded?" Even though he guessed the answer, Ailin couldn't help but feel excited.

Since Soyi, transcending the limits is not only possible for warlocks.

The same can be said of Demon Hunters.

"Yes."

Vera nodded solemnly:

"The Holy Grail is not only forged by warlocks with talent. When flesh and blood reach their limits, they can also gather the Holy Grail and break through the limits."

“It was also after Alzu that the name of the Holy Grail gradually became the vessel of great deeds because of its process.”

Vera took a deep breath and looked out at the pure white snow-capped mountains in the distance.

Her gaze was unfocused, as if she was looking into the distant past.

"Back then, the blockade of news about the Holy Grail was not as strict as it is now."

"The Warlock Brotherhood is still counting on the grand plan of human completion, transcending the druid circle, witch doctors, and prophets, becoming the top of the supernatural forces, and taking root in every piece of land where humans and power exist."

"Throughout the northern continent, wherever there are sorcerers, there are the names of Soi and Alzu."

"The uneducated but well-informed nobles would also talk about the demon hunters at the ball, and about the ultimate human development that Soi had achieved, and they would fantasize about when they could take his place."

"The entire continent is filled with knights eager to achieve great things, especially Toussaint."

"In the Lady of the Lake's current beliefs, the element of the Holy Grail originates from Soi."

“Alin,” she murmured, “before you, Soi was the miracle child who swept the entire continent.”

"Naturally, Cosimo Malaspina resumed his experiments and extended his research."

"It's just a pity..."

Vera paused and looked back at Aelin.

"Years later, after countless experiments, countless corpses piled up like a mountain under the cliff outside Mograg Castle, but in the end, only Soi became a demon hunter."

The sorceress's words were filled with regret and loneliness over the passage of time.

Ailin was stunned. It was hard for him to imagine that the whole continent was going crazy for a demon hunter. Especially when compared to today, when Arzu's reputation still existed but there was not a single legend about Soi.

It was as if he was born to be the head of the Wolf School, and the Demon Hunter Order was just an insignificant background to him.

Why is this happening?

It was really hard for him to reconcile the kind-looking, decadent, bruised figure with the image described by Vera.

And Soi is like this not just now, he has been like this since the first time they met after he came here and gave him the "Vera's Illusion Pendant".

It's totally impossible to tell that he is actually the strongest demon hunter in the entire northern continent.

"and then?"

Vera sighed softly.

"Then Cosimo Malaspina and Alzu gave up. The Brotherhood of Warlocks used this opportunity to gain enough power in the northern continent and began to cover up the ridiculous facts. The nobles who had lost face also cooperated with the Brotherhood of Warlocks."

"Of course, the research on the Great Deeds Vessel will not stop. After the Warlock Brotherhood gave up cultivating mortals as research materials, it began to reform."

"The master-apprentice inheritance has too high requirements for both the apprentice and the mentor, so the Warlock Brotherhood established Ban Ader and Aretuza."

"at the same time."

"Demon hunters are unable to reach their ultimate goals, have a very high mortality rate, and have lost their fertility. Naturally, they are no longer favored by the nobles and are abandoned by the Warlock Brotherhood. They have returned to hunting monsters and saving human society from the rampage of monsters."

“That’s not a bad thing, of course.”

"The establishment of the Demon Hunter Cult has indeed greatly improved the living environment of mankind."

"But later, Cosimo Malaspina and Alzu were unable to make any major breakthroughs in their research on demon hunters, so they lost interest in it."

"After managing the Demon Hunter Cult for a while, I let it go, left, and devoted myself to other projects."

"After that, you should know it."

Ailin nodded, it was nothing more than the witcher cult falling apart.

Anahad, the founder of the Bear School, often appears as a negative example in the Wolf School's education of its apprentices.

This period of history is often told in order to engrave in the minds of apprentices that "strictly maintaining neutrality" is the necessary principle for the Wolf School to survive.

"Da da da~"

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. Vera left the pointed arch window and continued walking down the spiral corridor.

"After leaving the Demon Hunter Order, Soi has never given up on popularizing the Great Deed Container, hoping to popularize it in the Wolf School."

"The demon hunters who followed him also supported him."

“After I graduated from my mentor, I also got involved.”

“It’s just a shame that it didn’t turn out well.”

Vera showed a regretful look: "The vessel of great deeds requires the body's strength and physique to develop to the extreme. Just this initial point, no demon hunter can satisfy it."

"Potions, alchemy, rituals... We use every possible means to elevate the strength of other demon hunters in the Wolf School."

"But the upper limit of a demon hunter seems to have been determined during the Green Grass Trial. Most of the wealth left by the demon hunter cult was spent, and nothing was left..."

She said self-deprecatingly, "It's not like I gained nothing. The accumulation of a large amount of materials has at least made my alchemy, medicine making, and ritual skills advance by leaps and bounds."

Ailin didn't dare to speak, but couldn't help complaining in his heart.

He still remembered that Vesemir said that Anahad, the founder of the Bear School, was driven away and there was obviously no chance of splitting up.

When Elan of Larvik, a member of the Griffin School, left at night with thirteen like-minded close friends, he took only the formula for mutation.

In other words, the chief who held out to the end inherited everything of the Witcher Cult intact.

No wonder Ms. Vera's alchemy level is so high. It turns out that Soi fed her with hundreds of years of wealth from the Witcher Cult.

"We have been stuck at this point for a hundred years," Vera said with emotion. "When we found that this road was impassable, we tried to bypass it."

"Then……"

Her tone paused.

The witcher's keen senses detected that the sorceress's heartbeat suddenly accelerated a lot.

"A disaster has occurred..."
