Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 577 Good News for Erudin!

The afternoon heat enveloped the forest, and the lake, which had been as deep as jade, now shimmered like gold.

The light reflected off the lake was so dazzling that Eredin Brick Glass, atop the ivory-white tower, could only turn her gaze away and look at the golden-haired elf still fiddling with the lapis lazuli slab.

What is called a stone slab is actually an entire towering wall embedded in the ivory-white tower, with many complex magic circles etched with runes.

Of course, there are also some pictographic patterns, such as swifts.

These symbolic creature shapes can be seen almost everywhere on the stone slabs.

Erin Bricker Glass, however, paid no attention whatsoever to this strange creation.

He wore a loose chiffon robe with gold thread, leaned against the white, jade-like railing, and frowned as he gazed at the golden-haired elf.

"Avalak, is the spiral still unstable?"

“You can see it yourself, so why ask me?” Avalak didn’t look up, but gently tapped a groove on the lapis lazuli slab beside him.

The columnar grooves are filled with a shimmering ice-blue color, as if they contain the essence of ice and snow in the dead of winter, and looking at them can freeze one's mind.

of course.

This will not cause even the slightest harm to Erin Brik Glass and Avalak.

At least not to this extent.

“Of course I can see that,” Erudin Brick Glass said impatiently, “but it’s been two whole months. You told me two months ago that the spiral’s fluctuations usually end within a week, but now two months have passed and there’s still no result.”

"Now you're telling me to see for myself?"

"What I want is not whether the spiral is stable or not, but what makes the spiral stable."

"The Red Cavalry's hundred advance scouts are now trapped at the other end of the spiral. It's been two months, and their supplies are almost exhausted."

"The war agenda has been approved, but the Red Cavalry can only wait idly in Tyre-na-Lia."

Do you know how much has been consumed in the last two months?

"Furthermore, connections with other worlds have been suddenly severed. Many worlds have only just begun to stabilize, and tens of thousands of alder people in Avalak and Tyr Na Lia are waiting for supplies from the outside world..."

“Avalak, you know what this means.”

“I think,” Avalak sighed softly, rising from the ground, “that’s why I’m at the Swift Tower.”

"So, have you found a way to calm that thing down?" Erin Brick Glass pressed, refusing to admit it.

Avalak was silent for a moment, then walked to Eredin Brick Glass's side, gently shook his head, and looked down at the lake below the tower.

There are four lakes beneath the Swift Tower, the closest of which is oval-shaped from south to north, like the petiole of a clover.

The water is so clear that you can see the colorful lake bottom, which looks like an inlaid floor.

This is the most beautiful place near Tyr Na Lia, yet you cannot see any Alder people, for they named her Tarn Mira.

Tarn Mira – Mysterious Lake.

"Why would a spiral that is usually so regular suddenly erupt at this time?" Avalak asked suddenly as he looked down at the dreamlike scenery of Tarn Mira.

“What do you mean, Avalak?” Erin Brik Glass’s relaxed body tensed up instantly.

Avalak ignored his unusual behavior: "The Red Cavalry's advance scouts set off two months ago, and the counter-cyclical fluctuations also occurred in two..."

"Snapped!"

Erin Bricker Glass slapped the ivory-white railing, leaned forward, and stared sharply, like a provoked eagle:

"What are you trying to say, Avalak?"

"You think the spiral's unusual movement is because of us Red Cavalry?!"

"That's impossible. Those selected for the Red Cavalry are the most elite Alder people, and the scouts are the elite of the elite..."

Avalak remained unmoved: "I will not inform Oberon Mukhitazi, much less the Council of Elders..."

Before the words were even finished, the provoked falcon immediately relaxed, leisurely following Avalak's gaze to look at the mysterious patterns at the bottom of Lake Tarn Mira:
"Then what do you want to say?"

Avalak turned and stared intently into Eredin Brick Glass's eyes, trying to discern every change in his gaze:
"To resolve the spiral's anomaly, I must know why the spiral is moving abnormally. What has disturbed it?"

"That way I can resolve this quickly, and you won't have to break your declaration of war against those humans."

After a long silence, Erin Bricker Glass did not answer Avalak's question directly, but instead sighed softly:

“We’ve known each other for nearly ten thousand years since the White Ship broke away from the fleet. Am I really that untrustworthy to you, Klivan Espin Ap Corman Maca?”

“It is precisely because we are old friends that I have doubts…” Avalak did not shift his gaze, “The fragments of the Gate of Ad Gais are a big deal, but not an urgent one.”

"The Alder People's conquest of their many vassal worlds will not collapse quickly due to the interruption of communication."

"but……"

The handsome, blond elf stared expressionlessly at Eredin Brick Glass's face: "But the Red Riders will gain even greater influence in the Council of Elders and with Oberon Muhitazi because of this commotion..."

“Eredin Brick Glass, it’s not that I’m trying to doubt you, but this is the first time in thousands of years that the spiral periodic anomaly has lasted so long.”

"Could it be that, besides the Red Cavalry of the Alder People, there is a second race capable of stepping into the Spiral of Realms and disturbing Him?"

Erin Bricker Glass remained silent for a long time.

A breeze arose, stirring the shimmering, molten gold of Tarn Mira in the sunlight.

“It’s not me this time.” Erin Bricker Glass didn’t look at Avalak, her face expressionless.

Avalak observed him for a while longer before letting out a sigh of relief: "I believe you."

“But Oberon Mukhitazi and the Council of Elders must share my doubts.”

“I know,” Erin Bricker Glass shrugged. “Even without this, they…no…you would still suspect me, so it doesn’t matter.”

Avalak nodded, then glanced at the grooves on the lapis lazuli slab filled with icy blue elemental medium, and sighed with a headache.

"But that would only make things more complicated..."

"If we can't find the cause, how can we calm the spiral's agitation..."

Erin Bricker Glass fell silent.

This is not his area of ​​expertise.

But after thinking for a moment, he added, "The blood of the unicorn can cross the spiral, and we also have a way out, but..."

Eridine Brick Glass didn't continue, believing Avalak knew what he wanted to say.

Avalak certainly knew. He took a deep breath and waved his hand: "It's not time yet, not yet..."

"Huh?" Avalak exclaimed in surprise.

"What's wrong?" Erin Brik Glass asked curiously.

Avalak pointed to the groove on the lapis lazuli slab, where the icy blue elemental light was fading at a visible rate.

He quickly walked to the lapis lazuli slab and began to examine it.

Erin Bricker Glass, her thin lips pursed, followed closely behind.

Just then.

Erin Bricker Glass, who was walking quickly behind Avalak, suddenly stopped and turned her head sharply to look out onto the open balcony.

The bright sunlight seemed to dim for a moment, and a black dot appeared outside the Swift Tower. Seeing this anomaly, Ericin Brick Glass had an idea, and her ferocious Wild Hunt armor immediately materialized on her body.

As soon as he gripped the hilt of the sword at his waist with his right hand, the black dot suddenly enlarged, squeezing out a wisp of dark purple magical light, which slowly flew to his front.

Erin Bricker Glass paused for a moment, but did not resist.

The purplish-red light obediently seeped into his raised palm and disappeared.

"what happened?"

Avalak sensed the magical fluctuations from Eredin Brick Glass's summoning equipment behind him and turned around warily.

“Nothing,” Ericine Brick Glass smiled, revealing slightly menacing white teeth, and said slowly, “I received a message…”

"Very interesting good news."
-
"Erardine Brick Glass!!!"

Erin shouted and jumped up, only to see a patterned silk screen, a candlestick with flickering firelight, and a large stone's gift of raw rubies standing quietly on a carved display stand in the distance.

The balcony door was wide open, and the mountain breeze carried the scents of cedar, thyme, sunshine, and spring...

spring……

Shouldn't it be the height of summer now?
and many more!

The ruby ​​ore was a gift from Big Stone, so this is my room, and I...

came back?
Still dazed and confused, Erin came to her senses, feeling utterly lost.

He always felt as if he had lost something that didn't belong to him, but that thing was very important to him...

Do not!
It is very important to the entire wolf school of thought!
Before I could think about it, the soft bed suddenly trembled.

Following the direction from which the vibration came, when Erin turned his head to look, he suddenly realized that something was wrong.

Why am I in bed?

When I opened the envelope given to me by Vigforts, I was sitting in a chair, and then I was transported to the howling sea, and then to the grasslands where Ciri lived...

Unable to sort out his chaotic thoughts, he saw a clump of blond hair by the bedside.

The blonde hair twitched and twitched, revealing a sleepy, pretty face with deep creases on her cheeks.

It's Mary.

"Good morning, Erin," Mary said, wiping her eyes.

Confused and unsure of what was going on, Erin paused for a moment, then instinctively said, "Good morning, Ma..."

"and many more!"

"Mary, how come you're sleeping in my room?!"

A cry of alarm from Erin instantly woke the sorceress, who had just returned from her dream.

She suddenly widened her jewel-like blue eyes and exclaimed, "Eileen, you're finally awake!!!"

Finally... I woke up...

Upon hearing this, Erin instantly became fully awake. Realizing something, he quickly asked, "I... I 'slept' for several days?"

“Two days…no…at least three days,” Mary held up three slender fingers. “The day before yesterday, early in the morning, Tissaya de Veres suddenly came looking for you, and then found you unconscious, lying on the floor of your room…”

Was it because of the Wolf School Master Set enchantment that Tissaya de Veris discovered...? Erin paused for a moment, but then realized something was wrong.

Early morning... unless there is something important, sorceresses rarely get up early, and Tissaya de Veris is no exception.

That means it can only be Philipba Ehrhardt. She must have noticed something was wrong with me this morning and went to inform Tissaya de Veres...

Thinking this, Erin subconsciously looked up at the roof beams.

There was nothing on the roof beams; they were completely empty.

"Erin, what are you looking for?" Mary looked up, following Erin's gaze.

"Looking for Fei..." Realizing who was asking her, Erin shuddered and quickly changed her words, "Nothing, I just feel a bit sore in my neck from lying down for so long."

Mary frowned her delicate eyebrows in suspicion, but chose to believe her anyway, and continued:
"Tessia de Veres examined you and found that although you were physically healthy, you couldn't be woken up no matter how much she called you. Your mentor is here..."

"By the way, mentor!"

Mary jumped to her feet: "Ms. Vera told me to notify her as soon as you woke up."

As soon as she finished speaking, Mary ran towards the door, but before she could open it...

"Boom~"

A portal suddenly appeared on the right side of the carved screen.

As soon as the portal stabilized, two figures rushed out of the portal's vortex, one after the other.

It's Vera and Soi.

As soon as they rushed out of the portal, their eyes immediately fell on Erin, who was sitting on the bed with a blank expression.

After a thorough examination, Vera and Soi exchanged a glance, breathed a sigh of relief, and uttered their first words since being teleported here:

"Erin, you're awake."

"Well, I'm awake."

……

After a few awkward exchanges, Erin gradually understood his current situation.

Wigford's letter seems to have sent his "soul" (if it is a soul) to a rather extraordinary place.

Although his journey from that strange ocean to that eerie grassland, from meeting Ciri to encountering the Wild Hunt, took only an hour or two, in reality, it felt like three or four days had passed.

Of course, there is another possibility...

There was no difference in the flow of time between reality and those two places; it was just that due to some kind of consumption, it took him three or four days to regain his senses.

It's even possible that...

He didn't go anywhere; he was simply unconscious for a while, had a dream, but...

[Ding! The Demon Hunter's Notes is dormant. Please do not open the Demon Hunter's Notes!]

Besides the ancient blood, what other power could have caused the Demon Hunter's Handbook to fall into slumber?

Erin thought the former was more likely, since future Ciri appeared in that timeline.

It's perfectly normal for time to flow differently.

However, he could also find out where he went in another way...

Erin let out a sigh of relief and asked, "Ms. Vera, where is Wiggerts? Is he still in Kaer Morhen?"

Vera and Soy exchanged a glance, and Vera nodded slightly: "He's still in Kaer Morhen, of course. We're keeping him under very secret surveillance..."

"Where?"

Vera hesitated for a moment, then said softly:
"Dungeon..."

“We locked him in the dungeon.”
