Demon Hunter: School of the Wolf.

Chapter 677 Unexpected Visitor!

I am pregnant?

Vincent froze, her right hand instinctively rising, but the instant it touched her stomach, she jerked it back as if she'd been electrocuted.

I... a sorceress, am pregnant?

Whether it's a male wizard or a female sorcerer, the chance of getting pregnant isn't nonexistent, but it's extremely rare, and it's mostly male wizards who get pregnant rather than female sorcerers.

The source of a sorcerer's magic is in the lower abdomen, but the male reproductive organs are farther from the source, while the female sorcerer's uterus is located in the lower abdomen.

If we were to calculate it, out of a million people, perhaps only a thousand would possess the talent of a sorcerer, and of those, no more than ten would be able to reproduce.

If there were ten, there would be nine male wizards and one female sorcerer.

More importantly, this is not only because pregnancy itself is difficult, but also because during the ten months of pregnancy, every minute and every second, the formation of the fetus is affected by magic, making it difficult to give birth smoothly, and even if it is born, it is hard to say that it is a normal human being.

Why did Tissaya de Veres demand that the sorceress of Aretusa undergo sterilization, completely giving up the possibility of becoming a mother?

It was because countless stillborn, deformed, and monstrous fetuses had once floated and sank in the sewers of Aretusa, making it almost impossible for normal babies to be born.

The sorceress becoming a mother is a complete tragedy.

Of course, Vincent was aware of this.

So she was terrified, her whole body went cold, her body stiffened in response, and her mind went blank.

I don't want my child to be a monster... I don't want my child to be a monster... I can't give birth to him...

"Do you want to give birth?" the reindeer asked compassionately.

"I don't..." The words were already on her throat. Visena's mind was filled with images of those bloody, deformed fetuses, but as she touched her belly, she could almost feel the second, tender, tiny heartbeat inside her body.

Those few simple words just couldn't be said.

"Ah~"

The reindeer sighed softly, and a beam of emerald light fell upon Vinsena, warming her body, relieving her fear and supporting her body so she wouldn't fall to the ground.

As Vincent felt the warmth emanating from her body, she suddenly realized something, her mind jolted, and she looked expectantly at the reindeer.

"I can't help you," the reindeer said, shaking its head with pity.

Vincent's eyes darkened.

“However, just because I can’t does doesn’t mean others can’t,” the reindeer suddenly said out of the blue. “The witcher you brought back is leaving. Settle the affairs of the Druids’ Circle, and you should go with him…”

The Witcher… Vinsenna paused, then said, “You mean… Erin?”

What can Erin do?
He's just a witcher!

Wait! Erin!
Vincent suddenly remembered what she had overheard: Vera and Erin communicating with each other.

Arryn is the child of Vera and Zoe, a sorceress and a witcher.

They...they might actually have a way.

“Yes, it’s him,” the reindeer nodded. “You’ll know the answer from him.”

Vincent looked at the reindeer expectantly again: "Is this... your divination?"

"That's right, this is my divination."

The reindeer nodded gently.
-
Upon seeing Vera waiting in front of the cabin, the Witcher quickened his pace.

As he got closer, he heard hushed conversations and saw Vera's lips moving.

Only then did they realize that Vera wasn't the only one standing at the door of the cabin; inside the half-open door, there was another unfamiliar woman... no... a girl.

She had short, black hair, uncommon among sorceresses, emerald green eyes, and a slender, elegant figure. Leaning against the doorframe in the candlelight, her low-cut black neckline accentuated her incredibly white and voluptuous breasts, like a bold oil painting.

Who is she?
Erin was puzzled.

The approaching witcher startled the two sorceresses who were talking, or more accurately, giving a one-sided lecture.

Before the Witcher could ask anything, the girl turned around and saw Erin. Her gaze lingered on his deep blue cat eyes for a moment before she became strangely excited, like... like a fangirl in her past life meeting her idol.

But Erin was certain that he had never seen this girl before.

"Hello, you must be 'Godslayer' Erin, right?" The girl quickly took a few steps closer and came to greet him, staring straight at him.

Erin paused uncomfortably. "Just call me Erin. May I ask who you are?"

“Oh, sorry, I forgot to introduce myself,” the girl stuck out her tongue. “My name is Fringilla Vigo, a sorceress from Beauclair. Erin, I’ve heard of you before, but I didn’t expect you to be so young…”

"Fourteen years old... How did you manage to do those big things? I was still being forced by my uncle when I was fourteen..."

Fringilla Vigo chattered on and on, very outgoing and recounting Erin's experiences as if they were her most treasured possessions. There were many things Erin himself didn't know, but he couldn't correct her because the girl was so engrossed in her conversation that he couldn't get a word in edgewise.

But Fringilla Vigo?

When Erin realized the sorceress's name, he was stunned for a moment, and then carefully looked at the girl in front of him.

Although it was only a year, to Erin, her previous life felt like decades ago.

But green eyes, short hair, daring outfits... yes, those are Fringilla Vigo's characteristics.

Fringilla Vigoirein certainly knew her. In the original Witcher books, she was a Nilfgaardian sorceress from Toussaint, the niece of the Toussaint illusion master Artorios Vigoire, and a distant cousin of the future Duchess of Toussaint, Anna Henrietta, and her sister Sylvia Anna.

She was a member of the Sorceresses' Guild, along with eleven other sorceresses including Margarita Laux Antille, Yennefer, Ida Emin, and Philippa Ehrert.

He participated in a series of major events, including the Battle of Sauron Mountain and the Second Northern War.

It's worth mentioning that during the Battle of Sodgren, Fringilla Vigo's friend was torn to pieces by Yennefer's magic, so she used magic to blind Yennefer in return. However, at the later gathering of sorceresses, although Fringilla Vigo recognized Yennefer's identity and saw through her attempt to escape to save Ciri, she not only didn't obstruct her like an enemy, but secretly helped her teleport away.

Fringilla Vigo is also mentioned in the Witcher trilogy of games.

However, because of her uncle's status, Fringilla Vigo had no problem attending the Warlock Brotherhood's conference.

But why did she follow Vera to the Ring of Maidalui? Did she happen to meet her at the Brotherhood of Sorcerers and bring her back to be related to her?

In fact, whether you trace it back to Vera or Soy, Fringilla Vigo and Erin are indeed related by blood, though the relationship is very, very distant.

Fringilla Vigo was still chattering away animatedly at length, leaving Erin with no choice but to look at her helplessly.

Strangely, Vera's eyes seemed to dart away for a moment before interrupting Fringilla Vigo:
“Fringilla Vigo is working as a magical advisor to Viscount Frank of Beauclair, and wants to acquire cannibalistic bio-oil. She also wants to visit Kaer Morhen.”

Upon hearing this, Fringilla Vigo was stunned for a moment and turned to look at Vigo in surprise.

I want to go to Kaer Morhen? How come I didn't know that?
Vera merely glanced at her, and Fringilla Vigo shrank back, forced to admit, "No...yes, I...I've been curious about Kaer Morhen for a long time."

The cannibalistic bio-oil is only sold in the northern continent, or more precisely, within the sphere of influence of the Wolf School. This was something Erin had discussed with Vera before the cannibalistic bio-oil was mass-produced and sold.

Ghouls are, after all, the most common creatures on the northern continent and the source of livelihood for most witchers.

Arryn has a way to provide the Wolf School of Witchers with better potions and to hunt more powerful monsters, but in order to avoid affecting the livelihoods of other Witcher Schools as much as possible, he still restricts the purchase of ghouls.

It wasn't that he was afraid of the other Witcher schools, but rather that he wanted to reunite the Griffin, Bear, and Viper schools and rebuild the Witcher Order.

If you can avoid offending anyone, at least show a reasonable attitude.

Otherwise, it would be too unpleasant to deprive other witchers of their livelihood and reputation for profit, and it would also be detrimental to the unity of witchers.

of course.

Once you start selling potions like cannibalistic bio-oil, it's very difficult to control them so strictly that they can't spread to other Witcher schools.

Ultimately, however, this is just an attitude, an attitude that is acceptable and can be accepted by other schools of witchers.

I can't possibly have something that allows ordinary humans to fight monsters in emergencies, but then I have to seal it off and make it available only to demon hunters so as not to affect their livelihoods.

This is not in line with the style of the Wolf School, nor should it be something that the various schools of the Witcher Order should condemn.

Of course, in reality, it's not uncontrollable. By reducing the amount of carnivorous bio-oil sold according to the actual needs of each buyer, the impact of carnivorous bio-oil on other Witcher schools can be minimized.

The buyer doesn't own it, so they certainly won't put it out for sale.

The cannibalistic bio-oil is a consumable item, and if it is accidentally circulated, it will not have much impact on other schools of thought.

However, Erin did not do that, because it involved another plan.

On the other hand, selling some cannibalistic bio-oil to Fringilla Vigo wouldn't be a problem, even considering they're relatives. The problem lies with another request from Fringilla Vigo, or more accurately, with Vigo herself.

To be honest, Mary and Enid were already giving him a huge headache, and now he had to bring Fringilla Vigo back with him...

That sounds like a lot of trouble...

"I agree."

Vera's voice suddenly appeared in Erin's mind.

Erin thought for a moment, guessing that something must have happened within the Brotherhood of Sorcerers that made Vera set her sights on the Vigo family's influence within the Brotherhood. He had no choice but to agree to "Flongera Vigo's" request, saying:

“Ghoul bio-oil is no problem at all. There’s nothing shameful about Kaer Morhen, and they happen to have a lot of it stockpiled there. We don’t need to wait for the alchemy workshop to produce it. You can bring it directly from Kaer Morhen back to Toussaint…”

"Really? That would be wonderful!" Fringilla Vigo instantly forgot Vera's strange words and beamed with joy, almost jumping for joy.

Next.

Then, at Fringilla Vigo's strong interest and request, we talked for a while about the creative ideas for Ghoul Oil and Ghost Oil (which were made up).

When Fringilla Vigo's questioning was driving him to the brink of running out of things to say, Erin quickly invited Fringilla Vigo and Vera into the room, then looked at Vera and changed the subject:
"How's the Warlock Brotherhood's conference going? When do they plan to launch their expedition to the Cavern of Ten Thousand Demons?"

Erin had only intended to change the subject, but he hadn't expected Vera's face to darken so suddenly, and Fringilla Vigo also stopped smiling and became cautious.

He immediately realized something was wrong: "What's wrong? Aren't the Warlock Brotherhood going to rescue Ban Ad and Ottoran?"

"The schedule for the expedition to Dodurak has been set, but it's a long story, so let's talk about it in Kaer Morhen later," Vera glanced at Fringilla Vigo and carefully chose her words. "Have you finished what you needed to do in the Ring of Maidalui?"

"We need to get back to Kaer Morhen as soon as possible."

Is it that serious...? Erin, influenced by the two sorceresses, also became serious: "Yes, it's all done. There are just a few things left to take with us, otherwise we could go back now."

"Are there some things to take with you?" Vera looked around the empty little house, the floor and oak table covered in a layer of dust.

Erin shook her head: "Not here, but..."

Before he could finish speaking, hurried footsteps suddenly came from outside the door, interrupting him.

Not long after, there was a knock on the wooden door that had just been closed.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door groaned as it swung open.

It was Visena, the mistress of the Ring of Mayna, whom we hadn't seen for a long time since Erin moved to Lydia's old house.

Vincent looked terrible, a stark contrast to her usual calm and composed demeanor, as if nothing could affect her.

He was panting heavily, his face was pale, his forehead was soaked with sweat, and his clothes, which should have been neat, were in a mess, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness. Instead of resting, he stayed up all night running.

"Erin, are you planning to leave? You know Vera...wait...Ms. Vera, you...you're here!"

As soon as Erin opened the door, Vincenta, contrary to her usual behavior, hurriedly asked what was wrong. When she saw Vera in the room, her eyes lit up, and she very rudely ignored Erin, rubbing her belly as she practically rushed towards Vera.

Erin, Vera, and Fringilla Vigo were all stunned by this sudden turn of events.

"Vera, can you tell me how..."

Vincenta stopped abruptly, her expression shifting between light and shadow, as she noticed that there was also a stranger in the room, Fringilla Vigo.

After a long silence, Vinsenna took a deep breath, subtly lowered her hand from her lower abdomen, and nodded slightly to Fringilla Vigo: "Hello, may I borrow Ms. Vigo and Erin for a moment?"

"I have something very, very important to discuss with them..."
