Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 550: Soi is really saved! My fellow traveler from Ban Ade wants to see you!
In Thomas Moreau's memory, there is no sense of time.

As spring goes and autumn comes, and winter comes and summer passes, he can only distinguish a few things from the clothes of the "experimental subjects" he brought back.

Those were pretty cruel experiments.

Regardless of class, all the people who were originally vagrants, farmers, peddlers, guards, soldiers and even knights and nobles were brought back by him like pigs and sheep to be slaughtered.

In the end, in the backlash of the genetic mutation, some people started bleeding from all seven orifices, their hands and feet cracked, and their flesh and blood were rejected... The worst one was transformed into a hideous ball of flesh with indistinguishable limbs and head after the experiment.

Even though Ailin was a demon hunter who had seen a lot of the world, his stomach churned for the first time in a long time and he almost vomited.

However, Thomas Moreau was so cold and inhumane that he kept saying, "I am doing a great research. It is your honor to devote your life to it."

Then they skillfully threw most of the still-living and conscious humans into the breeding area of ​​the giant white widow centipedes and brutally ate them.

At that time, Ailin knew that what Geron said was right, his father Thomas Moreau was indeed a madman.

Thinking of the Warlock Kingdom that Ban Ade was about to establish, and the Non-Human Research Laboratory of the Drakenberg-Risberg Civilian Joint Venture...

Perhaps most warlocks, at least most wizards engaged in the so-called genetic mutation and superhuman project research, are such lunatics who disregard life and treat humans as consumables.

They are not really crazy, they just do not see themselves as the same species as ordinary humans, and think they are advanced creatures superior to humans.

The only thing that made him feel a little bit unbelievable was...

Where did Thomas Moreau plunder so many people so easily and without any harm?
When Ada Emin intercepted her memories, she did not leave them behind.

She considerately edited out the scenes where he went out to look for "materials", the fierce quarrels and cold wars with Jeroen Moreau, and most of the content that was not related to the second mutation.

Only after a long period of boring research would Ida Emin deliberately arrange a quarrel between father and son to refresh the mind and relieve the boring mood.

Well, it is many times better than the service of "Warlock's Memory" which only involves classes, research and practice.

Although he did not see Thomas Moreau's "outing" trip, his long-term and covert plundering of living people also allowed Ailin to vaguely see the other side hidden under the whitewash of the upper class of humans -

Compared to the threat of monsters, humans are the only eternal natural enemy of humanity itself.

Thinking of this, Ailin would be glad that when he traveled through time, he was a demon hunter instead of an ordinary human.

At least the demon hunters can still fight back, whether they are facing their own kind or demons.

Ordinary humans, even knights and nobles, are consumables in this extraordinary world that can be consumed silently at any time.

This damn world!

However, due to the assembly line-like consumption of experimental subjects, the research progress of secondary mutations is also accelerating at a very rapid pace.

After the declaration was recorded through the telescope, in just two days' time, Thomas Moreau's whispers in his mind and the experiments in reality began to make it difficult for this science man in his previous life to understand.

So I decisively spent an experience bead to unlock "Gene Mutation", and then...

【叮！消耗310个小经验珠，您的技能：基因突变学LV1已提升至基因突变学LV4（0/10000）】

In one day, I advanced three levels before I could barely understand it.

About half a year later...

【叮！消耗10个经验珠，您的技能：基因突变学LV4已提升至基因突变学LV5（0/20000）】

Five years later…

【叮！消耗20个经验珠，您的技能：基因突变学LV5已提升至基因突变学LV6（0/50000）】

This was the first knowledge in Ailin that broke through to level six.

With a large amount of knowledge infused into him, he is familiar with the genetic characteristics of most common monsters, and knows how to induce their mutations, as well as the advantages and disadvantages of each mutation direction.

Although genetic mutation science is like alchemy, it does not provide any recipe for genetic combination.

However, as soon as he upgraded to Gene Mutation Level 6, in a short period of time, a series of genetic modification plans suitable for the Wolf School were generated in his mind.

He can use wild beasts such as dogs, cats, wolves, and bears as the base, mix them with the magical materials of water ghosts, ghouls, small fog monsters, etc., almost all non-large monsters, carry out genetic mutation transformation, and create biological weapons.

This was a plan that he came up with in a short period of time. If he were given more time, he would be fully confident that he would figure out the principle of the demon hunter's mutation.

Vesemir mentioned that he could reuse the mutation formulas with different effects developed by Cosimo Malaspina and Arzu that were stored in Kaer Morhen.

When the next batch of apprentices undergo the Trial of Green Grass, they will be modified and tailored according to the needs of the Demon Hunting Corps and the characteristics of the apprentices themselves.

And at this time.

The research on secondary mutations had basically matured, and not long after, Thomas Moreau conspired to lure Jeroen Moreau to Toussaint.

Then came nearly another decade of research and experimentation.

Jeroen Moreau went through countless tortures on that iron bed that were comparable to the Green Grass Trial. The living people in the cage died one after another, and one had to be replaced every two or three days on average.

In ten years, the population of at least one small town was depleted under Thomas Moreau, in this dim laboratory.

However, every time Thomas Moreau came back from outside, he was no longer at ease and would sometimes suffer some injuries.

In the end, Ailin even felt numb to the bloody experiment, but at the same time, he became more confident in the idea that the second mutation could cure Soi.

Because he discovered that secondary mutations do not just transform the body.

Thomas Moreau once used forbidden necromancy to summon the spirits of his test subjects after their death, and discovered that mutation was a transformation from body and mind to soul.

The main reason for Soi's injuries was precisely the curse cast by the dragon before its death, which caused the injuries to his soul and body to become uncontrollable after the container of great achievements was broken.

Vera had countless methods and potions to heal her physical injuries, but no potion could heal her soul.

This discovery made Ailin more focused.

Finally, in the 23rd year, Geron was knocked unconscious by Thomas Moreau and sent into the "Iron Maiden", completing his second mutation.

After nearly a month of experiments and tests, Ailin never saw Jeroen Moreau in the laboratory again.

Thomas Moreau did not go out to collect "experimental subjects" again, but locked himself in the laboratory for nearly half a month. Finally, one day he sat limply beside the stone wall next to the telescope.

“Years of experimentation, research, and hard work, all gone to waste! I can’t achieve the goals I set for myself.”

……

"It seems that my son can only be a demon hunter in this life. I failed. It's time to abandon this place and go home to Lydia. She might be willing to accept me back..."

"I leave the formula and the mutagen here, and let them fade away, just like my dream of finding my son."

Thomas Moreau collapsed on the ground in despair, declaring the experiment a failure. Ailin looked around the bloody laboratory and breathed a sigh of relief: "It's finally over..."

It's not like he hadn't experienced this before, but even the "Memory of a Warlock" didn't have a learning process of more than twenty years. Even with some of the little episodes thoughtfully arranged by Ada Emin, he was really exhausted physically and mentally at this time.

With a long sigh, Ailin patiently listened to Thomas Moreau's soliloquy, waiting for the memory to end, but he didn't expect...

Thomas Moreau stopped the recording of the telescope, took down the recording crystal and placed it on the red cushion aside, but the memory did not end.

"Lydia... My Lydia should be in the Ring of Mainadrui now..." He stood up stiffly, muttering to himself: "I want to find her, I want to find her, I want to find her..."

And then the next second.

Ailin hadn't come back to his senses yet.

Everything before my eyes turned black and white, and I arrived in a forest.

A female elf with a silver ornament on her chest was glaring at him...
-
[Ding, discovered several clues of the skill: [Ada Emin's Mind Bewitching Technique].]

[Do you want to spend 786 experience beads to unlock the skill? ]

"Whoo~"

Amid the headache-inducing system notification sound, he suddenly opened his eyes and gasped for breath.

Before he could recover from the shocking and terrifying scene, a group of people surrounded him.

"How are you, Ailin? Are you feeling unwell?"

Vera approached first, looking worriedly at Alin's pale face that showed fear.

Aristo, who was one step behind, could only close his open mouth and stroke his beard with his right hand, not even noticing that he pulled out a few dark hairs.

"No...it's okay, I'm fine..." Ailin glanced at Ada Emin subconsciously.

Aida Emin fell behind the crowd and quietly raised her index finger to her lips.

"I'm fine." Ailin retracted his gaze, closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and calmed the throbbing in his heart. "Thomas Moreau's memory is too long. I'm a little uncomfortable with it."

"That's normal," Ada Emin interrupted. "Time is tight. I can only transfer Thomas Moreau's memories of studying secondary mutations to him all at once."

This is a lie... Ailin thought. She still had the energy to filter, edit and segment...

“There will definitely be some discomfort with the memories of the past thirty years, but it won’t cause him long-term damage…” Ada Emin winked at him.

Ailin said softly, "I'm really fine, and I've completely mastered the secondary mutation."

"So..." Aristo and Vesemir squeezed in, eyes full of anticipation.

"Yes," Ailin nodded. "Give me two days, I'm sure I can save him!"

“I knew it!” Vesemir laughed excitedly and patted Arestor on the shoulder. “Arestor, you can always trust Arryn!”

After receiving Ailin's promise, Arestor also looked relieved, with a smile on his face: "Two days, there shouldn't be any problems in two days, right?"

He glanced at Vera inadvertently.

Vera looked at Aelin and Ada Emin suspiciously. She always felt that Aelin's reaction when he woke up was not due to the length of the memory.

However, after hearing Aristo's pointed question, he promised: "I will keep an eye on Soi for the next two days, and there will be no more accidents like last night."

Afterwards, everyone asked Soi about his second mutation and whether there was anything else that needed to be prepared.

Ailin thought about it and didn't refuse. He just mentioned a few common monster materials and asked them to get busy.

For secondary mutation, there is actually only one most important material - the white widow giant centipede protein. There are five or six white widow giant centipedes in the back of Thomas Moreau's laboratory. The other materials can be replaced by similar and fairly common materials.

But find something for Vesemir and Aristo to do so that they can feel involved and avoid having nothing to do and daydreaming.

Vera obviously understood what Aelin meant and said nothing.

"Then let's go find it now," Arestor said after hearing Arryn's request, pulling Vesemir away in a hurry. "I remember there is monkshood in the middle of Killer Lake...if we go a little further, we can also find the evil ghost..."

"Boom~"

The door was shut hastily.

"Then I will meditate for a while and then work out an experimental plan with Master Geron." Ailin nodded to Vera and Ada Amin and prepared to leave.

"Wait!" Vera suddenly called out to him, "Philippa Ehrhardt just came to see you. She seemed to have something urgent to tell you. She said she would wait for you at the training ground in front of the tower."

Philippa Eilhart in a hurry?

Ailin was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "I understand. I'll go find her right away. Is there anything else?"

Vera opened her mouth, glanced at Ada Emin, and shook her head slightly:
"No more, go back and rest."

then.

After nodding goodbye to the two sorceresses, Arlin left the castle hall.

……

Speaking of Philippa Eilhart, after returning from Toussaint a few days ago, Ailin stopped the daily tacit training because of the second mutation.

She seemed to have her own things to do.

The two of them tacitly agreed not to see each other for the past few days, except at night, of course.

Philippa Ehrhart always liked to stay in his room, even though she looked like an owl when she slept, with her claws grasping the beams of the roof, which were no different from the beams in any other house.

To be honest, it's somewhat inconvenient.

But when Ailin mentioned this, she said that they wanted to cultivate tacit understanding, but she didn't know how this was cultivated.

While daydreaming, Ailin came to the empty training ground in front of the tower.

A gray-brown owl flew over from the fence of the training ground, flapped its wings a few times, and landed on Ailin's right shoulder.

"Philippa, Ms. Vera said you had something to ask me?"

"Yes," the owl nodded, "There is new news from Aretuza..."

"My fellow traveler from Ban Ade wants to see you."
