Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 528: The Valley of Nine Buried Under the Sansrado River
Aristo shouted to Arryn to "come quickly", but before he finished his words, he jumped down the steep slope that was two people high and came directly in front of Arryn.

"Uh... Ailin, are you training an apprentice now?"

Aristo tilted his head and glanced at the training ground.

Ailin nodded, took him to an empty corner, and asked, "Was it Thomas Moreau who did it, secondary mutation or laboratory?"

"The laboratory," Aresto said excitedly without leaving any room for suspense. "According to your arrangement, Ms. Ada Emin first discovered the location of the laboratory. It is exactly as you said. It is in Toussaint, where the Sansredor River flows, a ruin once known as the Valley of the Nine."

The Valley of the Nine is near Beauclair, the capital of Toussaint. It was once a valley where elves lived.

However, many years ago, during the last reign of the elves, the magic of the unyielding elves changed the sky and caused the Sansrado River to change its course, flooding the valley.

Of course, there are also claims that it was the great wizard of mankind who committed the atrocities in order to completely exterminate the elves.

But no matter which story it is, the Valley of the Nine has become history, submerged at the bottom of the Sansredore River.

Having experienced the second mutation plot in the game, Ailin certainly knows the key words such as the surrounding areas of Beauclair, the Sansrado River, and the ruins of the Valley of Nine.

But he had already made the comparison.

The plot development in reality may be somewhat related, but the terrain is completely different from that in the game.

Like Kaer Morhen.

The Ancient Sea Fortress is completely different from the one in the game.

This is not because the difference only occurs after the Ancient Sea Fortress in the game is destroyed, but because the most basic layout and structure are no longer similar.

This is not a thing.

Likewise, the locations of Killer Lake, Old Spearhead's cave, and the Ring of Elements are all completely different.

This is also the reason why, after knowing the key words of Beauclair, Sansrado River and Valley of the Nine, Ailin did not search for them on his own, but waited for news from Ada Emin.

Beauclair is the largest city in Toussaint, and Sansredore is no less gentle than Pontar, but it is much wider than Pontar upstream.

If we look for it based on these characteristics, I'm afraid we won't find it even if we search forever.

"What's the exact address?" Ailin asked.

"I've told you everything in detail. Lady Vera said that we only need a few portals to get there," Aristo said. "Now Vera and Lady Ada Emin are in the castle hall. They asked me to ask you what your plans are?"

Logically speaking, now that the coordinates have been found and can be teleported directly there, the most that can be done is to notify Ailin, who proposed the plan, and then take action directly.

But for some reason, both Vera and Ada Emin were very insistent on letting Aelin make the decision.

"What about the secondary mutation?" Ailin asked instead of answering.

"Not yet." Aristo shook his head. "Ms. Ada Emin used some radical methods to get the information out as quickly as possible."

"Thomas Moreau will need some time to recover, but there is a breakthrough, which will happen in the next two weeks."

Ailin nodded: "Then let's go today. After I explain some things to Fred, Ernie and the others, we will set off."

"Then I will go inform Vera and Ms. Ida Emin and see if they want to make any further preparations."

Having said that, Aristo turned around and walked out impatiently.

After walking two steps, he suddenly stopped, looked at the back and hesitated for a while, then said:

"Alin, can your secondary mutation really cure Soi?"

"Forget it, just pretend I didn't say anything." Aristo denied himself without waiting for Arryn's reply. "You should arrange for them as soon as possible. I will inform Vesemir and Dante and wait for you in the castle hall."

Just say it.

Aristo walked towards the castle without looking back.

Ailin looked at Aristo's departing back and sighed in his heart.

He knew that Aristo didn't want to put too much pressure on him, and the same was true for Vesemir and Dante, the two witcher masters of the Wolf School.

After learning of Soi's condition, the three witcher masters who remained in Kaer Morhen were more concerned about this matter than he was.

And because they didn't have the ban like Arryn that forbade them from going into the dungeons, they had mostly lived in the dungeons for some time until they were kicked out by Ada Emin on the grounds that they were interfering with the torture.

But even so, after sending Vesemir to question him once, the three of them, like Vera, never appeared in front of him again, as if they were afraid of putting too much pressure on him.

Aelin took a deep breath.

If it weren't for these deep-seated human entanglements, who would be willing to stay in Kaer Morhen and risk their lives to plan this and that?

Wouldn't it be nice to be a noble of Aedirn, a knight of Elland, or the Son of Meliteli?
To be honest, he began to understand why in the original book, Geralt, Eskar, and Lambert tried every means to return to Kaer Morhen every severe winter.

Back to the training ground.

"Alin, what does Master Aristo want to see you about?"

Ailin tilted his head towards the sound.

The person who asked the question was Fred. He was breathing slightly heavily, and his face could not hide his excitement and joy.

And around him, in the training ground that was originally barren and full of dry sand and stones, a lot of weeds suddenly sprouted out, and the closer to the center, the denser the weeds were.

After seven days of teaching and training, the first demon hunter who could perform "Battle Cry: Whisper of the Wild" finally appeared.

However, Fred himself was with the Deer-Headed Spirit and had an adventure that seemed to be caused by natural elements, so it was not surprising that he was the first one to succeed.

only……

Fred's "Battlecry: Tongue of the Wild" seems to be somewhat different from his, at least previously, Arryn's original Tongue of the Wild.

[Name: The Language of the Wild]

[Type: Beast Roar]

[Learning requirements: Introduction to the Way of Beast Roar, and mastering "Beast Roar: Violence"]

[Passive Effect: Maintain the power of "Beast Roar: Wildness" on a daily basis.
1. Slowly improve perception attributes.

2. Reduce the hostility of low-intelligence creatures】

[Active effect: Consumes energy, allowing the Howler to perceive the thoughts of low-intelligence creatures and transmit simple instructions.]

[Note: Are you sure that the Way of Beast Roar is not the Way of Druids? ]

The original version of Tongue of the Wild, the active effect is actually similar to the Axis Mind Sigil, which can affect the minds of animals and monsters and communicate with Mother Nature.

However, Fred's version seemed to have undergone some changes.

He can influence the growth of plants around him through the language of the wild.

The sense of déjà vu is very strong, very much like the vines of the Deer-Headed Spirit inducing childbirth.

Ailin glanced at the excited young demon hunters and apprentices around him and said:
"Something about the alliance with the elves..."

The matters concerning the second mutation, Thomas Moreau and Soy were all confidential and certainly could not be made known to the public.

So Ailin casually changed the subject.

"I see." Fred nodded, but it was obvious that he had no interest in it.

Noticing the expression on Fred's face, Ailin glanced at the demon hunters and apprentices around him, paused, and said in approval: "You are indeed talented in 'Battle Cry: Voice of the Wild'."

"Keep practicing. Once you're proficient, see if you can try to control the plants within the range of the battle cry."

"Just like the Deer-Headed Spirit controls the vines?" Fred asked curiously.

Ailin glanced at the lush weeds on the ground and nodded: "If you work hard, you should be able to achieve it."

"Ok!"

Fred nodded vigorously, and a happy smile appeared on his young face for the first time in a long time.

Appointed as the leader by Ailin, and relying entirely on Ailin's help to quickly improve his strength to the same level as Erni and Klar, Fred has been under a lot of pressure these days.

He now represents more than just himself.

Instead, it was Zeus, Bonte, and even the three witchers in Ayling's batch who were currently lying on their sickbeds in the Temple of Meliteli.

He didn't want to discredit them because of his own reasons.

Now, thanks to his own efforts, he surpassed other young demon hunters and was the first to learn "Battle Cry: Tongue of the Wild". He also received praise from Arryn and could finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Fred did a great job. He has already mastered the language of the wild," Ailin turned around and loudly instructed the other demon hunters and demon hunter apprentices, "You should ask him more questions next time so that everyone can master the language of the wild as soon as possible."

"The few who get to grips with it the fastest will have surprises waiting for them."

The young demon hunters and apprentices around suddenly became excited.

"surprise?!!"

"Captain, what's the surprise?"

Ailin smiled mysteriously: "It will definitely be a surprise that will satisfy you."

As soon as he finished speaking, the young witchers and apprentices rushed to the training ground, surrounded Fred, and asked him for tips.

Fred was a little flustered for a moment, but his whole state was very different. His facial features were completely relaxed, not at all the gloomy look he had in the past few days. It was as if he had returned to the time before Ban Ade's apprentice fighting competition.

Ailin smiled with relief upon seeing this.

The impact of the Drakenberg incident did not end completely just because they left Redalia and because Hughes and Bont were out of danger.

On the contrary, it was just the beginning.

It didn't take Alyn long to empathize with Fred's embarrassment over the past few days.

Even if Erni, Klar and others didn't have any other ideas, the apprentices they had once enlightened have now far surpassed them.

That kind of inferiority and embarrassment is difficult to conceal.

And not to mention Fred, who was only thirteen or fourteen years old, Dante also felt a bit devastated when he came back this time.

After returning, he had a deep talk with Fred and then handed Fred over to Ailing.

At that time, Master Danti looked listless and his eyes were blank.

But Dante was not someone that Arryn could counsel. After all, he was not one of them anymore. He was very busy and did not have the energy to take care of so many things.

It is estimated that Hughes and Bont will have the same problem in the future, and Fred’s example can be regarded as an example.

Ailin never cared about the talents of the members of the Demon Hunting Legion.

Because heart essence and purification spirit can quickly improve attributes, combat points can strengthen skills.

Ailin can train an ordinary person who knows nothing to become a powerful enemy.

He cares about loyalty.

Zeus, Bonte and Fred will be the most reliable core of the Demon Hunting Corps in the future, and it is worth allocating some resources to them.

It's just that Fred has the talent brought by the encounter with the Deer-Headed Spirit, and can stand out from the demon hunters, but Zeus and Bont really need to put in more effort.

The Demon Hunting Corps' business was done, and Aylin didn't plan to delay any longer.

He tilted his head and said, "Mary, I'll leave things here to you. I should be back soon."

"Just ordering people around!" Mary muttered, and then she looked around furtively and asked, "Where's the owl? Won't she go with you?"

"Philippa is busy today," Ailin said softly, "and she is different from you. There are some things about the Wolf School that she cannot know."

Today is indeed the right day.

Philippa Ehrhart suddenly received a contact request from Aretusa and canceled her training plans for today. Otherwise, she would not have had the time to watch Fred and the others train.

At this time, Philippa Ehrhart was probably in his room, fiddling with the video mirror.

I wonder what news will come from Aretusa?
Has the situation in Kaedwen changed?
Mary's soft little mouth curled up in satisfaction when she heard this, and she waved her little hand: "Go! Go!"

"I'll help you keep an eye on them."

Ailin smiled, glanced at the busy training ground, and walked towards the castle without looking back.
-
Castle hall.

"Are you sure you don't want to go?"

Beside the fireplace, an elf wearing a light yellow long skirt and an emerald green belt around her waist smoothed her long cinnabar hair that was covering her forehead.

She is Aida Amin, an elven sage who knows Ein Sheedi and is skilled in mental magic.

"No," Vera looked tired and stared at the door without looking back, "Soy still needs my care, so I don't have time to go out."

"Do you really think that secondary mutation can save Soi's life?"

Ada Emin glanced at the embarrassed Vesemir, Aristo and Dante, the three witcher masters of the Wolf School, and said to Vera:
"Although he is a child of miracles, he is not such a miracle."

"How can anyone learn new knowledge from scratch and make improvements in a short period of time?"

"Gene mutation is not fortune-telling. Beginners also have the opportunity to glimpse the thread of fate."

“Thomas Moreau is an out-and-out madman, but he has gone far enough on the road of genetic mutation.”

Vera remained silent, and Ada Emin knew the answer.

"It's time to let go, Vera." She said with pity in her eyes, "Rather than dying in obscurity and pain, it's better to give him a happy and glorious funeral..."

"Squeak~"

The door was pushed open, and a ray of daylight leaked into the hall, interrupting Ada Emin.

"My miracle child is here," Vera looked at the dark figure with his back to the sunlight and took a deep breath, "He will bring us miracles. Isn't that why you are here too?"

There was even more pity in Ada Emin's eyes.

"What I want is for the Son of Miracles to fulfill his obligations as prophesied, but you actually expect him to perform miracles."

"Vera, a miracle child is just someone who was born by a miracle."

"You expect too much..."
