Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 538 Suspicious Long-Distance Teleportation Magic Array
"You mean..."

Ida Emin's voice rose in pitch, as melodious as the wind blowing through the trees, and her deep suspicion almost overflowed:
"You learned about genetic mutations through these five crystals, which are more like diaries of a disgruntled father who 'saved' his son than research materials?"

"I'm just about to learn it, not that I've already learned it," Ailin quickly corrected himself. "And some time ago, when I broke into a laboratory of the Risberg Civil Partnership in Drakenberg, I also found some information on genetic mutations..."

He couldn't speak anymore.

He suddenly remembered that although Ada Emin could not see into his thoughts because of the divine wall of the Ottrop seal, she could tell lies.

really……

"This is a lie." Ada Emin sighed softly, "But it's not entirely a lie. You've been to that hell called Drakenberg. You're almost learning about genetic mutations, but it's not because of Drakenberg..."

"The master's mind-reading ability is truly terrifying." Ailin sighed without commenting.

Even though the divine wall could block mind reading, it was still able to discern so much information from the escaping mental fluctuations.

Aida Emin's strength is truly unfathomable.

At the same time, he became more interested in "Ada Emin's mind-enchantment techniques".

"But not every knower is good at mind reading. The spirit is the most subtle part of intelligent creatures." Ada Emin blinked her eyes. She was very pleased with his subtle compliment and did not ask any more questions about genetic mutation.

"But just being close to learning it doesn't seem like it will save Soi."

"The secondary mutation can only enhance the demon hunter's physical fitness, and I have only heard of the Great Deed Container being broken, and no one has ever been able to repair it."

"Soy doesn't have much time. Are you sure you can make it?"

"We have to give it a try," Ailin watched Ada Emin put the recording crystal back on the soft round table, "but I'll have to trouble you, Madam, to dig out the content of the secondary mutation from Thomas Moreau's brain as soon as possible."

"I'll try my best." Ada Emin stood up and nodded. "I've already broken through his mental defenses. We just have to wait for Thomas Moreau to recover. There should be results next week, but..."

She paused and asked curiously:
"Why don't you try to find Thomas Moreau's child, the Griffin School witcher named Geron Moreau?"

"I remember that the Wolf School and the Griffin School have always had a good relationship. Wouldn't it be better to just let Jeroen Moreu ask his father to design an experimental plan for Soi?"

Although it was surprising that Ailin learned genetic mutations so quickly and had an extraordinary gift for prophecy.

But there is a long way to go between getting started in a subject and being proficient enough to quickly design effective experimental plans.

This is not a question of whether he is a miracle child or not...

The so-called miracle is not something that is completely impossible to happen, it just happened.

Rather, it is something that was so unlikely to happen that no one thought it would be done, but it was done.

It was a miracle that Ailin was a master demon hunter at such a young age. It was also a miracle that he could create sword oil and magic potion formulas not long after learning alchemy...

Although Ada Emin didn't know the details of the two, she knew that a demon hunter who passed the mountain trial would practice swordsmanship for at least seven years. For someone with extremely high talent, the probability of killing a large monster if he was well prepared was of course extremely small, but not impossible.

Alchemy seems to be extremely profound, and the skills and knowledge required are extremely broad.

But in fact, it is completely feasible to create a formula based on talent or inspiration.

In the final analysis, it is just to gather various magic materials, roast them, boil them, and then use magic power to participate in them.

However, only an ancient and primitive discipline like alchemy can rely entirely on talent.

Such as constructology and genetic mutation, which are the most cutting-edge and complex knowledge in the wizarding world.

To learn a subject and design a research plan in a short period of time is impossible from any perspective and the probability is zero.

Ida Emin is a firm believer in the Miracle Child, but not a blind believer.

To be honest, she still didn't understand why Ailin and Vera were so confident?

It was obvious that after getting along with each other, neither Vera nor Alin was the kind of person who would be blinded by a title.

"The relationship between the Griffin School and the Wolf School is indeed good." Ailin looked around and casually swept his eyes towards the direction of the second floor stairs. "The chief did send a letter to inquire, but Jeroen Moreau has disappeared a long time ago..."

He wasn't just talking nonsense to please Ida Emin.

After learning about the secondary mutation from Ailin, and knowing that Thomas Moreau had a child who was a witcher from the Griffin School, Soi found an excuse to send a letter to the Griffin School to inquire about the matter shortly after Thomas Moreau and Macao attacked them.

Of course, after learning that Jeroen Moreau was missing, the matter was left unresolved.

But in fact, Ailin really knew where Jeroen Moreau was.

And the location is in Toussaint, a place called "Crane Mountain Bank" by many "The Witcher 3" players. It can be reached through a portal in the basement of Crane Mountain Castle at midnight.

In the Blood and Wine DLC of "The Witcher 3", the background protagonist of the Griffin School Grandmaster Set quest is Geron Moreau, which can be regarded as an echo of the secondary mutation quest in the game.

So he really remembers it very clearly.

Of course, even though he knew where Geron Moreau was, Ailin had never thought of rescuing him now and using the father-son relationship to pry open Thomas Moreau's mouth.

Because Thomas Moreau is a madman.

These are the words of his son Geron Moreau:
[The zombification spell has worn off, but the portal is still closed, so I'm still trapped here. Unfortunately, most of my stuff is left in Uzar Castle. Without my gear, I can't escape.

I think I'm going to die here.

You took my sword, everything I could use as a weapon. I can only write this letter on the back of the blueprint.

But before I die, I have to tell you one thing: you are a lunatic, and always have been. A cruel, cold-blooded killer. It has been a long time since I had any feelings for you, only hatred. I don't want to have anything to do with you anymore, and I hope you will pay for your crimes one day.

Jeroen.

Because she was not satisfied with her son's identity as a witcher, she tricked him into coming with a commission, then forcibly imprisoned him and conducted various experiments on her son.

In the end, the experiment failed. Not only did they not release Geron Moreau, but they also took away all his weapons and sent a colossus as a jailer, imprisoning him to death.

Is it really because of the love for his children that a father like this studies secondary mutations?

How could Thomas Moreau contribute his knowledge to the witcher school he hated the most just because of Geron Moreau's words?

It would be better to torture him secretly. If you can't get the answer, then kill him and try your luck in exchange for a copy of the warlock's memory.

As for the demon hunter Geron Moreau of the Griffin School, Ailin would not watch him die. Once the matter of the second mutation was settled, he would find an opportunity to come to Toussaint again.

If Geron Moreau is still alive, rescue him and make friends with a powerful demon hunter with a second mutation.

If he dies, send the blueprint of the Griffin School Grandmaster Set back to the Griffin School, and make friends with the Griffin School's Grandmaster Elan of Larvik, so that they can face the crisis of the Wild Hunt together.

But this possibility is not very high. Although Thomas Moreau was a bit vicious, the death of Jeroen Moreau was probably because after Thomas Moreau's sudden death, no one knew about the place that could only be reached by the portal.

As a result, Geron Moreau starved to death.

Of course, in the game, Jeroen Moreau’s body is not in Heshan, and he did not necessarily die of starvation.

Come to think of it, he was really curious about the first demon hunter in the world who successfully underwent a second mutation.

If he wasn't worried that rescuing him would affect Thomas Moreau's interrogation, he would have wanted to teleport to Heshan at this time.

Having a successful example here can also be of great help to the research on secondary mutation and saving Soy.

"Ms. Ada Emin, please help me find Thomas Moreau's experimental records..."

Ailin collected his thoughts and took the initiative to walk towards the stairs leading to the second floor of the laboratory.

"no problem."

Seeing Ailin walking towards the stairs to the second floor, Ada Emin walked towards a bookshelf in the corridor and asked curiously, "You mean that after the experiment failed, Thomas Moreau did not let his son go?"

Ailin followed the call of fate, stepped onto a step, and nodded:
"According to the records of the Griffin School, Geron Moreau first disappeared in the winter of 1101."

"That year, all the demon hunters of the Griffin School returned to Kael Siren to spend the winter. Only Geron Moreu, who was looking for a master blacksmith to forge a Grandmaster Griffin School suit, did not return."

"Because the forging of the Grandmaster Griffin School suit is very difficult, there are not many blacksmiths who are capable and willing to do so, and it also takes a lot of time to forge, the demon hunters of the Griffin School don't care."

"But since that year, the demon hunters of the Griffin School have never seen him again."

"They didn't send anyone to look for him?" Ada Emin asked curiously.

"We are witchers, Lady Ada Emin." Ailin walked up to the second floor, leaving two clear footprints on the dusty ground. "Whether we are from the Wolf School, the Griffin School, or the Bear School, we never take the initiative to look for missing companions."

This is indeed the consensus of demon hunters.

Vesemir had warned them after the mountain trial, and he said it again before leaving the mountain.

Because the witcher school is a loose organization, not every witcher who does not return to the school for the winter will write a letter. After all, not every city and village has carrier pigeons that remember the school's address.

In addition, the commissions and locations that can cause one witcher to disappear can also easily cause another witcher to disappear.

This is the school's approach of seeking benefits and avoiding harm.

Of course, this is not a ban, just a practice.

If there is a demon hunter with good connections in the school who wants to look for it, they will not really stop him by force.

But anyway, this situation rarely happens.

It is normal not to return to the school for the winter for one or two years because of commissions, but when there is no news for three or four years, people will remember to look for it, but in fact, most of the traces are gone and they can't find it even if they want to.

What's more...

Death in commissions and monster hunting is the fate of all monster hunters.

The elven sorceress paused when she heard this. She was silent for a few seconds before she said softly, "If it were you, someone would definitely be looking for you."

Ailin did not respond, as if he had not heard this, and continued:
"In fact, it would be useless even if we could find Geron Moreau."

"From these memory crystals, it is clear that Thomas Moreau is not a normal father."

"He no longer considers Thomas Moreau, who will become a witcher, as his child."

"And didn't you notice it when you were interrogating me?"

"His hatred for demon hunters can be called a disease..."

Ailin's voice suddenly stopped.

He followed the throbbing of his heart and the guidance of fate and came to the end of the corridor on the second floor, in front of a wall with faint patterns engraved on it.

What is this... He stroked his hand to wipe away the dust on the wall.

Mysterious runes of ancient language, regular etched circles...

This is not an ordinary decorative pattern, but a magic circle.

But the strange thing is that the guidance of fate points to the magic circle, but not to any part of the magic circle, nor even behind this wall.

This feeling is extremely uncomfortable.

It's like being halfway through a marathon, but suddenly you go from a smooth track to a busy street with heavy traffic, and the abrupt stop leaves you feeling very disoriented.

"What's wrong, Ailin?" Ada Emin, who had discovered something was wrong, walked out of the corridor on the first floor where the bookshelves were placed, holding a parchment book with a blank cover. "Did you find the experimental records there too?"

"No," Ailin shouted, shaking his head, "There are no experimental records of Thomas Moreau here, but..."

He felt the throbbing of destiny in his heart, hesitated for a few seconds, and finally decided to speak frankly:

"But the things here may be more important than the experimental records."

Not long after he finished speaking.

Ada Emin went up to the second floor of the laboratory carrying the parchment book.

"This is a long-distance directional teleportation magic circle." She took a glance at the magic circle and identified its function. "Did you see the destination in the prophecy?"

Long-distance directional teleportation magic circle... Ailin frowned.

In the game, there is no such thing in Thomas Moreau's laboratory.

Is it the path to Heshan where Jielong Moreu is imprisoned?
It seems reasonable. After all, Heshan is far away from here, but the interim results of laboratory research will be used on Jeroen Moreau.

But it seems unnecessary. Isn't it more convenient in all aspects to lock Jeroen Moreau in the laboratory?

"No, I just discovered this magic circle," Ailin said, choosing his words carefully. "But I have a feeling that this place is very important to me."

"You don't know the destination, and it's very important..." Ada Amin glanced at him and frowned, "So you want to go over and see the destination of this suspicious teleportation array."

This is a statement, not a question.

"Yes," Ailin nodded and said frankly, "I really want to."
