Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 545: The Shocking Identity of the Pious Lydia! Jeroen Moreau! (4400 words)
"You don't look surprised."

This is a statement, not a question.

The elven sorceress's eyes fell on his face.

He knew her perception, and she must be spying on the shape of his scattered spirit at this moment.

From there she could find out his mood changes.

"Yes, I do."

Ailin nodded slightly. His vision and the end of the road were blocked by bookshelves or other wooden shelves, so he couldn't see clearly what was inside.

He thought for a moment, turned his head and looked into the eyes of the elven sorceress, without hiding anything:
"I've been to Meliteli's kingdom of God."

"A place of harvest with rolling golden wheat waves, a place of abundance, but the edge is condensed with a cold blue light. If you take a look at it carelessly, your mind will freeze and your soul will stagnate."

"So yes, I knew the White Frost had arrived, or at least was exerting its influence."

"I just didn't know that He would create such a huge...disaster so early..."

The elven sorceress was stunned for a long time because of his words.

Ailin, a demon hunter who didn't understand the "mind confusion technique", could feel the strong emotional fluctuations.

It wasn't just the shock of knowing he had been to the kingdom of the gods, but also the fear.

After a long time, she took a deep breath and suppressed her restless heart:

"As expected of a child of miracles, he was invited by the gods to travel around the kingdom of God, and he could talk about it so lightly."

After sighing, she couldn't help but look into Ailin's eyes and asked curiously:
“Why did He invite you?”

invite?
Meliteli had not invited him; he was an uninvited guest who had "kicked" in through the door using his psychic powers.

But the details were not important. Ailin pursed his lips in disbelief and said, "Because I saved Elland from the Wild Hunt and the raiding spirits."

"At that time, due to some reasons, I was cursed by the evil god, so I went to his kingdom to remove the curse."

When the Wild Hunt was mentioned, he noticed the elven sorceress's expression intentionally or unintentionally, but did not notice anything unusual.

It seemed that Ain Sheedi had completely severed contact with their fellow clan Ain El, and even seemed to be completely unaware of the identity of the Wild Hunt.

"Not everyone can enter the Kingdom of God," Ada Emin's eyes were meaningful, "Everyone who has entered the Kingdom of God can be called a saint."

"The merit of guarding a city is far from enough. For a god, there are many ways to remove the curse."

Obviously she didn't believe this reason.

Ailin opened his mouth and was about to explain that the curse of the evil god was not an ordinary curse. At that time, Meliteli was almost completely isolated from the outside world because of the white frost.

But thinking about it, there are so many things that need to be explained about these two things, and the mission given by Meliteli to expand the intersection of the celestial spheres cannot be told to others.

He simply said nothing and let Ada Emin imagine. There was no harm in it anyway.

Ida Emin did not get to the bottom of it, but smiled and returned to the topic:
"Melitelie is the oldest of all human gods."

"When He was born, the relationship between the Mountain People and humans was the closest, and He also experienced the 'Great Change' throughout the process."

"But he is not as close to the battlefield as Cliff, who is in charge of the battle."

"But even so, it is impossible to be completely ignorant of the Great Mutation..."

"And He even told you about the white frost that was eroding the Kingdom of God, so there was no need for Him to hide the 'Great Change' from you..."

"Are you sure He didn't mention it?"

The elven sorceress asked again.

"No," Ailin shook his head. "It can be seen that he knows nothing about the history of the Mountain People, at least the history of the Great Change."

"Otherwise, he wouldn't have deliberately cut himself off from the secular world. He would have almost become like the Sun God you mentioned. He would have waited until the day of his demise for the world to see the truth, and ended up causing a disaster..."

After hearing this, Ada Emin bowed her head and pondered for a long time before saying:
"Perhaps their forgetfulness is the antidote they found from the Great Mutation, allowing them to avoid the white frost."

"But it obviously didn't work..."

"No, it worked," she suddenly denied herself, "The Aerilion uprising was a hundred years ago. In the past hundred years, I have never heard of any race's gods suddenly falling."

"But in the end, I could only delay it, and could not escape completely. Instead, I almost got caught in my own trap..."

Ailin frowned and listened, and suddenly an idea flashed in his mind.
Could it be that Melitari did it on purpose?
He should have used some method to seal or even completely discard the memory of the "Great Mutation" as Ada Emin said.

In order to avoid the connection due to memory, as if praying to the name of God would be sensed by God, Bai Shuang bit him tightly.

But deliberately cutting off ties with the secular world may not be a side effect of forgetting this part of the memory.

It was not because He forgot the threat of the white frost that His presence in the world gradually disappeared.

Rather, it was a strategy that Meliteli came up with after knowing the fate of the elven gods and the resulting precipitous decline of the elven race.

Before he lost all his memories, he used some method to gradually isolate the subsequent temples from the secular world.

When the relationship between gods and the secular world is no longer close.

The decline of gods will naturally not affect the entire human world, causing a chain reaction like the "Great Change" of the elves, with gods - priests - believers - secular rule.

This ultimately led to a powerful race that once dominated the world falling into decline and on the brink of destruction.

And it's not just Meliteli, Freya and Cliff seem to be like this too.

The influence of all gods' priests on the entire continent is constantly weakening.

Most of the priests of the righteous gods only stay in the local temples and rarely travel around to practice asceticism and preach.

Far from the epic...

The magic of Meliteli's priests catalyzes fertile soil, resulting in a good harvest every year.

Cliff's Punishment Knight punishes evil with the holy hammer in his left hand, and reads the holy book with his right hand to enlighten the world.

Arryn had never seen a priest of Melitele even outside of Ellander.

Cliff's Punishment Knight has also heard of it.

Moreover, he had never actually seen any priest of a righteous god clearing out the monsters that were harming the human world.

Obviously, this is the most easily possible missionary method and achievement to gain the belief of all people, but it was given to the demon hunter.

More importantly, the priests do not lack that ability.

After Ianna received the gift from God, she strengthened nearly a thousand people in the deep mountains of Mahakam with just one word of praise, making ordinary farmers no longer afraid of the hideous corpse-eating creatures.

Such ability, even if weakened several times, is still very powerful.

What's more, Meliteli is not the god in charge of the battle. If it were Cliff's priest, what would the effect and scene be like under the divine magic?
To exorcise monsters, why do we need monster hunters?

Aelin shared his guess with Ada Emin.

After listening to this, Ada Emin was silent for a long time before she sighed softly:
"Humans are so lucky. Every step they take is supported by adults."

"If it was back then..."

Before she finished her words, the elven sorceress fell silent again. After a long while, she shook her head again and said, "It's too late to change now."

"Every Ain Sheedi who is inspired by magic is born to be the closest servant of the gods. The connection between the mountain people and the gods is too close..."

"It seems that our future was already determined when the 'White Ship' came into this world and ran aground on the beach of Skellige..."

She lowered her head and looked at the brick-paved ground. Her two sapphire blue pupils were completely unfocused, empty and blank. "White Frost! White Frost!"

Ida Emin murmured in confusion and fear:

"What on earth are you?"

"Even the gods fear it and try to avoid it, but it is ultimately impossible to escape."

"Is the destruction of all living things inevitable..."

“Dóitear an domhan i reodh marbh…Dóitear an domhan i reodh marbh…”

The elven sorceress murmured mysterious and difficult-to-understand sentences in a trembling voice. She seemed to be deeply immersed in a tragic past, and seemed to have seen the horrible future that was about to come.

Ailin sighed and whispered, "Aisirghe faoi grianúr."

Ada Emin raised her head sharply: "An aisirí faoi ghrianúr...Nach dúinn a bheidh an chinniúint chrua?"

Ailin was silent for a long time. Finally, under the gaze of the elven sorceress, he could only smile awkwardly and said a little embarrassedly:
"Sorry, I'm learning the ancient language now, but I'm currently limited to the "Islin's Prophecy" and the section about the child of miracles..."

Upon hearing this, the elven sorceress burst out laughing, her soft cinnabar hair trembled, she was extremely beautiful.

It is hard to tell that this woman with a beautiful smile is at least three hundred years old.

Ailin could only scratch his head in embarrassment, but at least the low-pressure atmosphere finally disappeared because of his interruption.

"Can you tell me what you just said?"

"I... I can only understand the first half of the sentence..."

Because of his status as the Child of Miracles, he often heard people reciting Isilin's prophecy, and he happened to be planning to learn the ancient language, so he memorized quite a few passages.

The ancient saying that Ada Emin lamented just now was that "the world will die in the frost."

Because its semantics were too negative, Ailin directly took over the second half, "and be reborn under the new sun", but he really couldn't understand the long sentence she mumbled later.

Ada Emin chuckled softly: "Since you are learning the ancient language, you will naturally know it after you learn it."

After saying that, she changed the subject and said, "Unfortunately, no one knows the true face of White Frost. Even the gods cannot escape the influence before His arrival. They can only hopelessly cut off their tails and survive without resistance."

"It would have been nice if the gods of the mountain people had left behind something. Unfortunately, except for a prophecy poem, everything disappeared into nothingness with the fall of the gods."

Ailin was also very sorry.

How can we deal with Bai Shuang when we don’t even know his true identity?
Now we can only hope that the Wild Hunt, who has been playing hide-and-seek with the White Frost, can find out something of importance, but...

Ain Sidi, who came from the same clan, didn't even know that his own race was broken apart by the White Frost.

Could the Wild Hunt really know any useful information?
"Yeah..." He also sighed, "It would be nice if we could leave something behind."

"Let's not talk about this anymore. Soi and Vera are still waiting for us in Kaer Morhen," Ada Emin gathered her thoughts and looked into the space blocked by wooden frames in the distance. "Let's first see what is attracting you, the child of miracles!"

Aelin nodded calmly, not revealing that the truly important things had already gone into his pockets.

"Tap~tap~tap~"

The crisp sound of footsteps echoed in the empty cave.

Although she said she didn't want to talk about it, before she had walked far, Ada Emin couldn't help but say:

"Since the human gods are deliberately avoiding the issue, we can give it a try next time, but it's best not to directly tell everyone about the great changes..."

"It is difficult for the gods to sense the holy names of mortals, but the gods' memories are likely to be the most solid anchor. Once they are remembered, accidents are likely to happen immediately..."

"As a mountain dweller, shouldn't Ms. Ada Emin expect the gods of mankind to follow in the footsteps of the Sun God?" Ailin couldn't help but ask, "Only in this way can Ein Sheedi have the possibility of rising..."

And to be honest...

Given that the elves are heading towards extinction without looking back, if he were Ada Emin, he would now find a way to summon the white frost and perish together with humans.

Aida Emin rolled her eyes: "The Hoarfrost is the mortal enemy of the mountain people."

"He killed our fathers, mothers, brothers and sisters, and caused the sun, moon and stars of the mountain people to fall in disgrace, and the mountains and rivers were overturned."

"And humans..."

She paused and sighed: "Humans just happened to seize the opportunity. Even if it weren't humans, there would be dwarves, halflings, goblins, dryads..."

"Compared to others, humans are the easiest to accept."

"After all, the blood of the mountain people has long been integrated into the human bloodline. They are our relatives and descendants with the closest blood relationship, but the worst interpersonal relationship."

"In a sense, as long as there is a human being left, the Mountain People will still leave a trace in this world."

"only……"

"Humans later went too far. They wanted to exterminate all the mountain people."

"Erin," Ada Emin looked the witcher in the face and said solemnly, "We never wanted war, we just had to resist."

Aelin was silent, for what she said was sincere and without any mistakes.

If you trace your origins, most of the kings of the northern continent are actually descendants of elves. And according to the development of the original plot, Francesca Findaby attached herself to Nilfgaard Dor Bretaner and fought for a place for the elves to settle down, and she never started a war again.

Of course, it is also possible that the Squirrel Party, composed of young and strong elves screened by Elerion, was completely exhausted in several northern wars.

How can we invade without the ability to start a war?

"Alin, is this the person you are looking for... not... the demon hunter?"

As he lowered his head in thought, he suddenly heard the voice of Ada Emin in his ears.

Is it Geron Moreau?
The moment he raised his head, his whole body suddenly trembled.

It’s not because the person sitting cross-legged with his eyes closed on the ground in front of him is not the witcher Jeroen Moreu of the Griffin School.

He was, and although he did not have any equipment of the Griffin School and was thin, his face was very similar to Thomas Moreau and he could be recognized at a glance.

What surprised Ailin was that Jeroen Moreau's ears were actually long and slender, and obviously pointed.

He is a half-elf.

and many more!

Ailin's face changed, and he quickly opened the Demon Hunting Notes.

[Monster group "Moreu's Colossus" LV99, "Faithful Lydia's Chaos Spirit" LV? Defeat! ]

……

[Obtained spoils: Element of Faithful Lydia*1, Resurrection Spirit of Spring Lady Gwendolia*1...]

He suddenly remembered that when Thomas Moreau recorded the last crystal and found that the experiment had failed, Thomas Moreau said: "It's time to abandon this place and go home to Lydia."

So Lydia is Thomas Moreau's wife, Geron Moreau's mother, and an elf.

Hey!
Why does Lydia's name appear in the crusade settlement?
How come the Chaos Spirit of devout Lydia is inside the golem?
and many more!

Ailin's eyes suddenly widened, and his azure cat pupils suddenly shrank into a line.

Lydia the Faithful...

So Gwendolia, the Lady of Spring, is the elf that Ada Emin said had long since fallen...

God? ! !
