Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 520 Killing Soi to Give My Child Vengeance
After hurriedly leaving the castle hall and walking nearly fifty or sixty meters, Ailin remembered that he knew nothing about where the elves lived.

He hurried back to the castle hall, intending to ask Ms. Vera.

As a result, before the door was opened, the girl's sobbing came out from the gap in the door and was captured by the witcher's keen perception.

The right hand that was already placed on the door knocker stained with verdigris was ultimately unable to push the door open with force.

Although he and Philippa Eilhart were innocent, the charming nakedness last night, like the touch of the softest silk, rippled in the ocean of his thoughts from time to time, making this innocence not so pure.

What's more, the person he asked was Francesca Findaby, which might just add fuel to the fire.

"Kaer Morhen isn't that big anyway. We can find it if we spend some time..."

Ailin sighed inwardly.

While Erni Klar and his companions who had just returned from training were not approaching, he quietly hid in the shade of the trees at the castle gate using the most standard stealth posture of the Cat School's two-handed sword, and walked through the bushes in the blind spot of the approaching people and left.

To be honest, he had never thought that the Cat School's two-handed sword technique would be used in this place.

Francesca Findaby's residence is indeed not difficult to find. With two tracking skills, I can always follow the unique scent of chamomile and cedar, and then through the red footprints, I can find her recent destination.

It's a bit troublesome, but it doesn't waste much time.

It didn't take long for Ailin to arrive at the place.

It is also a tower, also on the third floor, but it is located in the north and south of Arryn's house, respectively, and is attached to the castle.

Judging from the room specifications, although I don’t know whether it was Ms. Vera or Master Aristo who made this arrangement, it is at least the highest standard in terms of living.

But Ailin’s room originally belonged to the chief warlock of the Wolf School. I wonder who originally lived in the tower on the north side?
"These demon hunters are so rude. We have been waiting for three days and we can't even meet the school's administrator!"

When he stepped on the last step, Ailin's hand that was knocking on the door paused, and a complaining voice came from the other side of the door.

“Who do they think they are?”

"You call it an alliance? But we are here to protect them, and yet they treat us like this!"

"Why do Lady Shadia and the Sage value these demon hunters so much?"

Apparently, the usually arrogant elf was quite angry because the Chief had left them out for a few days due to his physical condition.

"Okay, Zova, Kalia," Francesca's clear voice, like the sound of a spring, broke the silence, "Stop complaining. Grandmaster Soi of the Wolf School must have been delayed by something."

"What could possibly happen in Kaer Morhen in the summer?" a female voice said angrily. "There are only a few people in this castle. They are clearly looking down on us mountain people."

"Yes, Miss Enid," another female voice echoed, "Zova is right. I did some research before coming here. The head of the Wolf School has a close relationship with the King of Kaedwen. The glutton is dead now, but he must still be inclined towards the royal family of Kaedwen."

"That's the feud of the free elves, Miss Enid, don't let yourself be deceived!"

The female voice called Zova advised without interruption: "If you ask me, we must be careful and not eat the food here. If we don't see anyone today, we must leave as soon as possible."

"Otherwise, the demon hunters of the Wolf School might give us as rewards to the great nobles or royal families of mankind."

"If you ask me, Miss Enid, you are taking too much risk. You shouldn't go there in person..."

"Alright!!!" Francesca interrupted angrily, "I believe in the Wolf School. They have always adhered to neutrality and their character is trustworthy."

"Grandmaster Soi must have encountered some difficult problems and couldn't get away for the time being."

"Let's just wait patiently for notification. Let's not talk about this anymore. Kalia, come over and see which earrings should go with this butterfly pendant?"

"Miss Enid looks good with anything she wears, but who are you dressing for?" Kaliya's mood changed quickly, and she teased, "Why haven't I seen you dress like this in the Freedom Camp?"

Another female guard named Zova answered in unison: "Who else could it be? It must be that..."

The two female guards obviously had a good relationship with her.

"Shut up!" Francesca Findaby was furious.

A silver bell-like laughter came from inside the door.

Ailin outside the door didn't dare let them continue talking, otherwise if they talked about some sensitive topics, he would not be able to knock on the door again.

"Boom~boom~boom~"

There was a knock on the wooden door and the laughter in the room stopped abruptly.

"Who?" the female guard named Zova shouted.

"Alin from the Wolf School," Alin replied, "I am here to discuss the signing of an alliance..."

The words have not yet fallen.

There was a sudden burst of chaotic collisions and cries of pain in the room.

It seemed that before the chair fell to the ground, it hit the female elf named Kalia.

"Here we come, Aelin!" Francesca Findaby shouted in a panic.

What followed was a burst of inaudible chatter and at least ten minutes of waiting.

ten minutes later.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door was slowly opened, and the familiar fresh scent of chamomile and cedar filled the air.

This was a large circular room similar to Arlin's, with a wooden screen blocking the view so that one could not see what was inside.

Francesca Findaby was standing in front of the screen at this moment, still wearing the gray-green dress with yellow edges, but the pendant had been changed to the size of a thumb, with sapphire as the main body, and sparkling diamonds embedded in the slender wings made of silver.

Like the most beautiful butterfly in the world, lying on the pure white snow in winter.

There is a unique beauty of dying and being reborn.

This is the butterfly pendant... Ailin thought, and then his eyes subconsciously raised to Francesca Findaby's ear.

The earlobes are empty, probably because you haven't chosen the earrings yet.

However, as if she sensed his gaze, her tender white earlobe instantly turned rosy red.

"Cough cough~"

A female servant next to her coughed twice.

"Sorry," Ailin came back to his senses and apologized quickly, "I didn't mean to eavesdrop, it just happened..."

“Don’t say it,” Francesca waved her hand with forced calmness, but the pink clouds had already dyed the white snow where the butterfly was crouching red, “I know you didn’t mean it.”

"Let's get down to business first, Covenant?"

Ailin glanced at the two female attendants with a cryptic look in his eyes and explained sincerely, "Chief Soi really didn't mean to treat you three badly, but he is in a certain state right now and it is not convenient for him to meet people."

"We understand," Francesca nodded and immediately agreed with him. Then she said with a headache, "But the mountain people only recognize the signature of Grand Master Soi on the covenant. But we can wait for a while in Kaer Morhen."

"That's not necessary," Ailin shook his head. "The chief can sign the covenant tonight, but you have to go alone to sign the covenant..."

"no!"

"Tonight? So soon!"

The voices of Francesca Findaby and two female attendants interrupted Aelin.

However, Ailin and the two female attendants looked at Francesca Findaby with strange eyes at the same time.

"I...I...I mean we can wait for Grand Master Soi in Kaer Morhen, there's no rush." ​​Francesca Findaby explained hurriedly.

Ailin pretended not to understand her meaning and explained, "It's hard to say when the Chief will recover. He may not be able to return to normal even when winter comes."

"You can't wait."

The two female attendants frowned, shielding Francesca Findaby behind them and looking at him warily: "Why must one person go?"

"Your Wolf School..."

"I'll go!" Francesca Findaby took a step forward and nodded seriously. "What time tonight?"

"Enid!"

"your Highness!"

Zova and Kalia urged him to stop.

Francesca Findaby waved her hand, interrupting the two female attendants, then stared at Ailin with her big blue eyes, which were clearer than the Killer Lake, and said firmly:

"I believe in him."

Ailin, who was glared at by Zova and Kalia, was silent for a few seconds and said in a deep voice: "I will pick you up after dinner when the sun sets."

When Francesca Findaby heard that it was Ailin who came to pick her up, her eyes suddenly widened, and then she nodded with a smile:
"Well, I'll be in the castle hall on time."

The task was so simple that even Ailin did not expect it to be so simple. He certainly did not think that he would be rejected in the end, but it would take at least 20 to 30 minutes to convince the two female attendants around Francesca.

Unexpectedly, as soon as the invitation was made, Francesca accepted it against all odds.

All the excuses I had prepared were suddenly useless.

Moreover, there was no way the agreed tour of Kaer Morhen could be carried out this afternoon under the circumstances.

then.

After thinking about it, Ailin could only say goodbye dryly.

"Crack~"

Almost as soon as the wooden door closed, loud "admonitions" were heard in the room, but of course a quarrel would be more appropriate.

"Miss Enid, you can't go. It's too dangerous!"

"Who knows what the Wolf School will arrange for you? You might not meet that Soi, but a human noble."

"Have you forgotten Drakenberg? Have you forgotten how many elves were deceived in the name of love and never came back?"

The voices of the two female servants, Zova and Kalia, were very clear even through the door, and it was obvious that they were meant for him to hear.

But Ailin didn't think there was anything wrong with it. If he were in her shoes, he wouldn't just let her go and let Francesca go alone in someone else's territory to meet a dangerous person who hadn't shown up for three days.

"It's not love! Ailin is not a liar!" Francesca Findaby lowered her voice but could not hide her extreme shame and anger, "Don't talk nonsense!"

Then there was a series of arguments and persuasions.

"Eh~"

Ailin didn't listen any more. After sighing quietly, he walked down the deep and dark corridor.

The emotional debt seems to be increasing.

……

The cabin in Toussaint.

After Vera's voice was swallowed by the whisper of the void, the cabin was silent for a long time.

In the pool of blood on the wooden bed, Soi, whose hands and feet were bound with chains, knelt on the bed with his knees and head lowered, as if he had fallen asleep, or even fainted.

But Vera knew that he was awake, and the torture of the red dragon's residual soul would not let him rest for even a second.

No one can fall asleep under the pain that burns the soul. It is a pain that can make people shudder just by imagining it, without having to experience it.

He just needed some time to allow the broken soul separated from the body to descend into an even more broken shell.

"Ho~ho~"

There was a sound of drowning in Soi's throat.

"Wow~wow~wow~"

Amid the trembling sound of the chains, he spat out a mouthful of black and red blood onto the ground beside the bed.

The smell of blood in the air became stronger, and there was also a slight burnt stench of decay.

Vera watched this scene, closed her eyes reluctantly, and waved her hands skillfully.

The hideous bloodstains in the wooden house and the stench in the air disappeared in an instant.

Obviously.

She had gotten used to this scene, so used to it that she didn't want to get used to it anymore.

Soi raised his head slowly and laboriously, his grey cat pupils were full of scarlet bloodshot, but they were not ferocious. Instead, they looked gentle, mournful and sad because of the apology they contained.

"Sorry, I can't hold on much longer." He sighed softly, and his soul seemed exhausted.

Vera did not open her eyes, her voice was hoarse: "What about the promise to clean the seats for our children, add armrests, stabilize the legs, embroider some patterns, and carve some textures to show glory and majesty?"

"I'm sorry, I can't do that."

"I have already bought a vineyard, right on the banks of the Sansretto River. We will grow grapes, make wine, and participate in competitions..."

"Feel sorry……"

"Don't you have anything else to say except sorry?"

"……Feel sorry."

There was a long silence between the two.

Vera opened her eyes and stared at the man whose soul and body were shattered.

She did not intend to take out Ronnie Dickinson's great deeds container because it was useless, which was the conclusion that Ada Emin and she had just reached without careful study.

At least it is useless to Soi now, because he can't last until the two of them get the results of the experiment.

Thomas Moreau's second mutation, as mentioned by Ailin, may be the only hope.

but……

Apart from Thomas Moreau, Ayling didn't "see" much.

Who can be sure that the so-called secondary mutation will be effective against Soy?
Rather than giving him an illusory hope, it is better to say nothing. Maybe he can hold on a little longer. Maybe there is still hope, and there is still... a miracle...

Miracle Child...

"Wei..." Suo Yi's voice interrupted her wandering thoughts, "The person is about to die, so don't say anything, don't mention anything."

"Love or hate, it's too late now..."

"Alin's parents died fourteen years ago. He is now a demon hunter, a demon hunter without a father or a mother. Don't let him recall the pain of loss."

"We all know that it's not pleasant..."

Vera's nose felt sore and her eyes were slightly red. She suppressed her emotions and said, "He will know eventually."

"But what is missed is missed, there is no going back and no way to get it back again."

"Soy, which one is more painful?"

Soi opened his mouth but was interrupted by Vera turning around.

"At least tell him now, he can kill you with one sword to vent his anger."

Suo Yi smiled helplessly: "Why didn't he kill you?"

"Because I am still useful to him," Vera answered seriously, "I still want to protect him, I still want to watch him grow up, watch him get married and have children like an ordinary person, watch him grow grapes in the vineyard, make wine, and participate in competitions with his children..."

She opened the door and said softly:

"Tonight, Zoe Henrietta, you must be ready."

"Crack~"

The wooden door slammed gently against the door frame, and the sorceress didn't even turn her head.

"Get married and have children..."

A long sigh came from the small wooden house, which seemed to be expectation, but more like regret.
