Chapter 180 New props

“I can’t leave.”

Ailin smiled gently and took out the amulet of the goddess Meliteli from his chest.

Two dark scratches were clearly visible on the silver amulet.

"This is..." Francesca wondered.

"This is the amulet of the goddess Meliteli, and it's the highest-level one. Are you really just Vera's alchemy apprentice?"

"And this black mark..."

"You were attacked by the evil spirit. When?"

Shadia walked over with the old man, looking serious.

After taking the medicine, the old man looked much better, but his eyes were tightly closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

When Ailin saw this, he immediately stepped forward and helped the old man up.

"I am indeed Ms. Vera's apprentice. As for being attacked by evil spirits..."

"That was back in Kaer Morhen, but it wasn't a big deal, just that I couldn't use the portal."

Shadia nodded and thanked him. Suddenly she remembered something and said:
"The portal... yes... no wonder you were unconscious for three days. It turned out that the evil god attacked you when you were teleporting."

"I was very confused at the time. I clearly didn't have any brain damage, so why couldn't I wake up?"

When Francesca heard this, her blue eyes blinked twice and then dimmed in an instant, and her hands unconsciously clasped together.

It's all because of me... she thought.

Shadia noticed this and was thoughtful.

Aelin also noticed Daisy of the Valley's disappointment and patted Francesca's shoulder with a smile.

"It's all in the past, and good and bad are interdependent. If we hadn't awakened those rock trolls at that time, we might not have been able to leave as peacefully as we are now."

The corners of Francesca's mouth twitched, and it was obvious that Ailin's comfort could not make her feel relieved.

after all.

In addition to the rock trolls outside, there are also swarming Kaedwen troops.

Can Ailin really escape by himself?

"So you just leave first. I will always find a way to escape by myself. Don't you know my abilities yet?" the demon hunter said confidently.

"The demon hunter's little trick?" Francesca forced a smile with difficulty.

"Yes, the witcher's little trick."

Aelin nodded.

"Francesca, please take good care of them for me. I will meet up with you after we leave."

Hearing the witcher's instructions, Francesca nodded seriously, but then she thought of something and asked:

"How did you find us?"

"Don't worry, I will always find a way. Don't forget, you elves haven't paid for the commission yet."

"Another little trick of the demon hunter?"

"Yes... Demon Hunters always have many little tricks."

While the two were talking, Shadiya led the way in front. She listened with a smile on her face as they comforted each other as if no one was around.

Soon we arrived at the fountain at the castle gate.

"Auntie Asha, Auntie Asha..."

At some point, seven children gathered here.

Huh?
Aylin was a little surprised.

These children, who look to be twelve or thirteen years old at the oldest and seven or eight years old at the youngest, are actually real, not fantasy.

and……

The witcher looked through the mirage bead and saw that except for the oldest little girl, the ears of the other children were pointed.

Half-elf!
Shadia is the only elf in the castle, so...

Shadia and Hod have so many children!

The witcher subconsciously looked at Francesca.

"What's wrong, Aelin?" Francesca noticed the witcher's gaze. "Is there anything else you want to tell me?"

"Uh...no." Under Shadia's gaze, Ailin could only scratch his head and laugh dryly.

Francesca felt something strange and was about to ask again.

"Erin, come here." After comforting the children, Shadia suddenly looked at Erin.

The witcher helped the old man over.

"What happened to Uncle Hod?"

The oldest girl came over and took the old man from the witcher.

Shadia sighed:
"I let him sleep. I'll wake him up when we get to the destination."

The girl glanced at the old man and the children with a complicated expression: "Shadia, are you sure you want to leave?"

Shadia?
Ailin's ears twitched and he looked at Francesca.

Daisy of the Valley was staring at the ground in a trance, not knowing what she was thinking about, and did not hear the name.

It should be that Shadia used illusion to block this conversation.

"Uncle Hod...maybe..."

Shadia shook her head.
"Haxo's minions have come to us. We can't stay here any longer."

Hearing the name of the King of Kaedwen, the girl gritted her teeth and clenched her fists uncontrollably.

Shadia patted the girl's shoulder and comforted her:

"Don't worry, Lisa. As long as we can escape successfully, it will be the best revenge on him. Besides..."

Shadia glanced at Aelin.

"Even the normally neutral Wolf School demon hunters are rising up in resistance. The end of Haxor's rule is not far away."

"Demon Hunter?" The girl looked at Aelin and said excitedly, "Is this your prophecy, Shadia?"

Shadia shook her head gently.

"I no longer have that ability. This is just my speculation and hope."

"People always have to live with hope, don't they?"

The girl lowered her head in disappointment and did not respond to Shadia's last words.

After a few seconds.

She raised her head:
"I will find a chance to take revenge, in my own way...Shadia, I'm going to take care of the children."

After saying that, the girl left with a frown on her face.

Looking at the girl's back as she left, Shadia suddenly said:

"She is Lysa, the daughter of Viscount Hudson."

"His father and mother are the kindest, most principled human beings I have ever met."

"Unfortunately, because of me and Hodder, Viscount Hudson was killed by the wizard sent by Hackso on the night we escaped in order to buy us time to escape."

"I was pregnant at the time, and I only had time to take the Viscountess, Lysa, and Hod away."

"A few years later, the Viscountess died of depression in this fake castle..."

"Leisa has also changed from the innocent, optimistic and cheerful little princess to what she is now."

"Hatred always makes people grow, doesn't it?"

Aylin was stunned for a moment.

Before he could react, Shadia turned around and smiled at him:
“It’s just a feeling.”

"Give me Hod."

Hearing this, the witcher carefully transferred the old man he had been supporting to Shadia.

"In the past, Hod was a knight who was good at fighting. He could eat a cow in one breath. But in just a few years, he has only this much weight left."

After taking the old man, Shadia muttered something sadly.

Just now, Shadia was very familiar with how to deal with her daughter.

At this moment, she really looked like an old human woman who kept nagging about the past and complaining about her husband from time to time.

For a moment, Ailin was unable to tell the difference between the elf who abandoned her husband and daughter and the devoted human old man.

Which one is her true face?

"I've got everything ready here. You can call Enid to open the portal."

Shadia said.

Ailin was about to turn around and call Francesca over when he suddenly realized something was wrong.

what?
Ask Enid to open the portal? An elven wizard who can create such a huge illusion and even transmit voices in his mind, actually doesn't know how to use the portal?

The witcher even suspected that Shadia was also an Ion Savini.

Ailin looked at Shadia in a daze.

"Yes, I can no longer use the portal."

Shadia seemed to read the confusion in Arryn's heart.

Can’t use it?
Ailin asked Francesca, who was also confused, to open the portal and asked curiously:

"Is it because of the wizards of Ben Ader? They sealed your magical abilities?"

"Boom~"

An orange portal appears in front of the fountain.

Without asking where the portal ended, Shadia helped the old man walk towards the portal.

The moment before she entered the door, she seemed to have just heard Ailin's question, and turned around and smiled charmingly and meaningfully:
"No, not the wizard from Ben Ader."

"That's a sorceress, the sorceress you know."

The sorceress I know...

Ailin was stunned for a moment, and after looking at Francesca who looked confused, he realized that the sorceress Shadia was talking about...

It was his alchemy and ritual instructor, Vera.

"you……"

Just as Ailin was about to ask further questions, he found that Shadia smiled and winked at him, then walked into the portal with a few children.

"Do you need me to go over and bring Ashapo...Asha back?" Francesca asked while standing in front of the portal.

Ailin thought for a moment and shook his head.

This is Shadia's home turf. If Shadia really had ill intentions towards him, she would have done it long ago.

"I'll ask her myself after we leave here. Thank you Francesca."

Francesca's face turned slightly red when she heard this.

She shook her head:
"You're welcome. I've been bothering you all along the way. If it weren't for..."

Francesca stopped talking.

She saw Aelin shake his head firmly at her.

"We have been friends through thick and thin all this time, haven't we? There is no such thing as trouble between friends."

Sharing adversity?
What a strange statement.

Francesca thought.

However, after hearing what Ailin said, the loss and sadness of not finding his mother again was much reduced.

"Enid Ann Grena." Francesca thought for a moment and took a deep breath. "My friends all call me this name..."

Ailin was stunned for two seconds, then pretended to be hearing this name for the first time and said seriously:
"Daisy of the Valley... a nice name."

"I remember that, Enid."

Looking at the blush on Francesca's face, Ailin hesitated for a moment, and finally chose to nod:
"Enid, sometimes what we really want to find may be right next to us."

"What does this mean? A prophecy?" Francesca asked curiously.

Ailin smiled and shook his head without explaining.

"So, the witcher's tricks also include prophecy?"

Francesca thought the witcher was comforting her, and her heart warmed, and she smiled cheerfully, which was rare for her.

In those azure eyes, the eyes are flowing, as if holding the clearest lake in the world.

Ailin was a little stunned.

It wasn't until Francesca handed him two pieces of black cloth that he came back to his senses.

"What is this?" Ailin asked curiously.

"Night." Francesca's face flushed, "A set of magic props."

"I know you demon hunters have some tricks up your sleeve, but you can never have too much invisibility, right?"

"It just so happens that the mask and headscarf can also hide your appearance. You probably don't want the king's people to know your identity..."

After taking the item, Ailin instinctively made an appraisal.

【Name: Night】

[Type: magic props]

[Function: Wear the mask and activate a small amount of magic power to become invisible at night or in a dark place.]

【Note: It is just invisible! 】

……

【Name: Color】

[Type: magic props]

[Function: Wear a headscarf and activate a small amount of magic power to eliminate the sounds of breathing, footsteps, and even heartbeats. ]

【Note: You can only mute it! 】

She is worthy of being the little princess of the elves.

Stealth and silencer, simple functions, but they almost meet the needs of every night assassin.

If the demon hunters of the Cat School knew about this treasure, they would definitely fight to the death to get it.

However, he already has the Mirage Pearl, which allows him to become invisible at night.

As for silencing, the Cat School Two-handed Sword Lv5 allows him to move silently like a wild cat hunting prey.

Besides...

Smelling the faint scent of chamomile and cedar, looking at the red spots on Francesca's face.

This mask and headscarf are clearly what "Valley Daisy" has been using.

Using personal props that have been used by others is more or less perverted.

So after a little thought, Ailin chose to refuse.

He said: "Aini..."

"Besides, 'Night Color' consumes very little magic power..."

The demon hunter suddenly stopped talking and moved his ears slightly.

"…Even for a demon hunter, he can use it continuously for at least fifteen minutes…"

what?
fifteen minutes!!!

The simplest mirage illusion only lasts three minutes at most!

Five times the difference! Five times!
The demon hunter swallowed and quietly clenched the two pieces of icy cloth in his hands.

"Alin, did you just say something?"

"Nothing, I was just saying thank you."

Ailin expressed his heartfelt gratitude to Francesca with the most sincere smile.

Francesca was very happy to see Erin accept it, but when she noticed that the witcher held Night tightly in his hand, her cheeks felt hot as if they were on fire.

Looks even more rosy and lovely.

She lowered her head and looked at her toes:

"If I stay to help you now, I will probably only bring you trouble instead of help, just like three days ago."

"So this is all I can do."

After saying that, Francesca looked up and stared at Ailin quietly for two seconds, then walked towards the portal.

"Alin, use your little tricks as a demon hunter to survive. I will wait for you at Grandma Asha's place."

Before entering the portal, Daisy of the Valley looked back at Aylin once more.

Ailin nodded firmly:
"Don't worry, Enid."

"I will find you soon. After all, you elves still owe me a reward."

"It's not an elf, it's Ion Sheedy."

Francesca corrected with a smile and walked into the portal.

"Boom~"

The portal disappears.

In the huge castle illusion, only Ailin was left.
