Chapter 189: The Gate of Ard Geis
because I?
Ailin's pupils shrank and his lips became dry.

How could his identity be exposed like this?

Even the King of Kaedwen knows his identity as the Son of Miracle?
"Gulu~"

Aelin swallowed instinctively.

wrong!

Although Shadia stared at him, she didn't look like she saw through his identity.

After calming down.

It took Aelin only a few seconds to realize the problem.

"Care makes one confused," he thought.

The King of Kaedwen has been hunting down Shadia and Hod for ten years because of this demon hunter who has nothing to do with either of them...

This doesn't make sense.

Shadia retracted her gaze, looked at Hod's grave and continued:
"You may not have heard of this, but this is the prophecy of the prophetess Ishlin."

"It is precisely because of this prophecy that Haxo keeps chasing us..."

really.

According to Shadia's tone.

The miracle child she was talking about must not be me!

But then the demon hunter couldn't help but ask:
"So who is the Miracle Child?"

Shadia glanced at him and did not respond directly, but continued with her story.

Ailin had no choice but to continue listening obediently.

but.

After learning that Haxo was hostile to the Child of Miracles, a strong sense of crisis emerged in his heart.

This made him think about the impact of this incident on him and the school while listening to Shadia's story.

"I was about to leave Shayla Wade after getting the gem under the guidance of fate."

"But I didn't expect that the new king, Haxo, would deploy troops outside the ruins for some reason..."

"then."

"It's been a long time since the Aerilion Rebellion. I've lived in the human world for decades, and I never thought that the new king of Kaedwen would target me."

"So, as expected... I was caught because I could only cast a few ordinary spells with magic props."

"And then?" Ailin's curiosity was aroused.

“And then I met Hodder.”

Shadia gently stroked the soil in front of Hod's grave, and her tone suddenly softened:
"At the time, Hod was fulfilling his call-up duty to the King on behalf of Hudson."

"When I was caught and locked in a cage, it was he who recognized me and secretly released me."

"Recognized you?" Ailin was puzzled. "Isn't this the first time you met?"

Sadiya nodded.

"I treated his mother's illness a few years ago."

"But he was still very young then, about eleven or twelve."

"After recognizing me, he asked the nobles in the army at the time why I was being hunted, defended me, and hoped to have me released."

"even……"

"After the little noble in the army asked the wizard accompanying the army to remove my illusion disguise..."

"Hod resolutely looked for an opportunity to steal my magic items and then took me away."

"Just because you once cured his mother?" Ailin was a little incredulous.

He had only treated illnesses before, so it didn't seem necessary to commit such a serious crime just to save people.

"No!"

Shadia shook her head, smiled slyly, and removed the illusion on her body:

"And because I'm pretty."

"Ah?" Ailin was stunned.

The answer was beyond his expectations.

He also thought that Shadia did more than just cure the disease, perhaps she saved Hod's mother's life.

"I didn't expect that the little noble in the army would let the wizard take off my illusion disguise, which would make Horde more lustful."

"certainly……"

"Hodder has always emphasized that it was love at first sight..."

"That reckless man, who was attracted by my beauty, acted impulsively and rescued me from the barracks without considering the consequences..."

The witcher was silent.

This reason is a bit ridiculous and a bit outrageous, but...

He glanced at Shadia, who, after removing her illusion disguise, made even the coarse linen apron of an ordinary peasant woman look elegant, natural and fresh.

Such a Shadia fascinated a young, unmarried knight who was born as a groom...

It seems very reasonable.

Thinking of the good old days, Shadia looked up at the bright moon in a trance.

Under the cold moonlight, the elves are made to look even more extraordinary.

"Running away from the barracks without a plan and recklessly will certainly not end well."

"After that, we were hunted by the Kaedweni army."

"But now that I think about it, even though I was worried and embarrassed every day, Hood always found a chance to take me to appreciate the beautiful scenery of the world."

The corners of Shadia's mouth rose slightly, with a faint smile on her face.

"It was also at that time that I accepted Hodder's proposal in a field full of chamomile flowers."

then.

Shadia stopped talking, she closed her eyes, as if savoring the sweetness of memories.

After a while.

She opened her eyes, frowned slightly, and continued:

“Good times are always short-lived.”

"The Kaedweni army is gaining ground."

"There was no other way. Hod took me to find Viscount Hudson."

"He and the Viscountess are the most upright and kind-hearted people I have ever met, except for the old priest of the Meliteli Temple."

"My suspicion and temptation ended after Hood told me that I had been a doctor, saving lives and healing the wounded in various places."

"Even though Viscount Hudson knew my identity as Ain El, he accepted us without hesitation."

"He gave us shelter and covered us from the army the king sent to search us."

"He lived up to Hord's trust. We..." Shadia paused, frowning even more tightly, "but brought disaster to them."

Shadia's speech speed gradually increased, as if she wanted to quickly skip over this embarrassing memory.

"The new king of Kaedwen, Haxor, is even more despicable than his grandfather."

"Together with the wizard Ben Ade, who somehow knew about the existence of the gem, they raided the Viscount's castle while I was pregnant and defenseless."

"finally……"

"To protect us, the Viscountess, and Lisa..."

"Lord Hudson is dead."

"His body and soul, like the other innocent people in the castle, were tracked down by wizards using forbidden necromancy and the evil weapon Melesco's Ring of Wrath."

“Can’t rest in peace!”

"Hodder wanted to fight the enemy together with Viscount Hudson, but I used the gem to teleport him to the abandoned mine..."

"After being teleported, he saw the miserable state of Viscount Hudson's family that we had implicated. His hair turned white almost overnight, and his physical and mental condition deteriorated."

"She is obviously less than 40 years old, but she looks as old as 60 or 70."

"This is the result of me using illusion to seal his memory."

"I also gave birth to my children in a cold and chilly abandoned mine..."

Shadia tilted her head and looked at Ailin:
"My miracle child."

The demon hunter fell silent after hearing this.

Half-elf, half elven blood, half human blood.

Fulfill the "inhuman man" in the prophecy of the "child of miracles".

Shadia happened to give birth in an abandoned mine, so although "Ku Han" is a bit of a stretch, it can still be used as a hook.

In addition, the second half of the prophecy that I just heard is closely related to the elves.

indeed.

Shadia's half-elf child was born almost exactly as prophesied.

but……

Ailin opened the Demon Hunting Notes.

[Name: Ailin]

【Age: 14】

[Title: Child of Miracle]

【Level: 40】

【生命值：100%，体力值310/310，魔力410/410】

[Attributes: Strength 32, Agility 31, Constitution 34, Perception 28, Mysticism 41]

[Affinity: Water 7, Earth 3]

Since the Demon Hunting Notes has identified Ayling as the Son of Miracle in the form of a title.

Shadia's "miracle child" probably just happened to fit the prophecy.

In other words.

Shadia and her half-elf children took the blame for the real miracle child, Arryn.

"Why would Haxol...you even said there are others, so intent on killing the Child of Miracles?"

Ailin couldn't help but ask.

"Didn't the prophecy hint at that?" "The Child of Miracles should be the key to saving the world?"

"Why not?" Shadia shook her head. "I am a survivor of the Eriren uprising."

"To which country will the miracle child I gave birth to bring blood and fire?"

Kaedwen, of course.

Ailin answered in his heart.

The loop is closed!
Even if the first half of the prophecy is slightly different.

But the second half...

"The blood of the elves flooded the earth" corresponds to the uprising of Elerion!
The inhuman people brought blood and fire, and there was an immediate reason to destroy nations.

The racial hatred brought by the elves' blood.

The revenge for the murder of one's father brought by human blood.

Good guy!
If it weren't for the clear title of "Son of Miracle" on the task panel, the function of the Demon Hunting Notes would be extremely powerful.

I guess even he himself would doubt whether he is really the "miracle child"?

just now.

Ailin only had one question left:

"Why are you telling me these things?"

He is just a demon hunter who accepts commissions to find and save people.

Shadia did not answer directly, but asked back:
"I heard from Enid that it was Ada Emin who asked you to find us. What did she pay you for the commission?"

Ailin was silent for a few seconds and said:
"As long as I complete the task, I can get what I want most..."

"This charlatan-like speaking style is really the same for every Ian Savini."

Shadia muttered.

"That's what the red-haired elf said, but..." Ailin glanced at the tombstone in front of him and smiled bitterly, "I guess this doesn't count as a complete completion of the commission, right?"

"Of course." Shadia suddenly said, "Tell me, what do you want most?"

The demon hunter was stunned for a moment and said:
"I want the friendship of the elves... the Ain El clan..."

"Alin, you are already a friend of the Ain El clan, this cannot be used as a reward."

Sadiya smiled.

Although he knew it was just a polite remark, Shadia's natural friendliness still warmed Ailin's heart.

He took a deep breath and said:

"It is possible that this winter, Kaer Morhen, the home of the Wolf School witchers, may suffer a devastating attack from the wizards Harksor and Ben Ader..."

"We hope to gain support from our friends in Ayn El."

Shadia was silent for a few seconds before she asked in surprise:

"Gone?"

Ailin was speechless for a moment.

But before he could reply, Shadia looked at Aylin seriously and nodded slightly:
"I agreed."

"As long as you bring my children to Kaer Morhen, I will do my best to get the support of my tribe."

"Take Kaer Morhen with you?" The witcher was surprised. "What do you mean?"

Shadia nodded:
"I hope they become a witcher!"

"You know that demon hunters are not..." Arlin began to speak, but was interrupted by Shadia.

“They have nowhere else to go.”

"I must return to my people this time."

"They... they have some extreme ideas about half-elves. It is no safer for them to follow me back than to become a demon hunter."

"Besides..."

Shadia's eyes became firm:
“My child is a miracle child.”

"It is destined that they will survive the witcher's trial."

"No matter how high the mortality rate of those trials is!"

Seeing Shadia's firm tone, Ailin was speechless.

but.

The mortality rate of the Trial is now almost zero, and Kaer Morhen is also short of manpower.

Think darkly.

The children of Shadia are undergoing trials in the Ancient Sea Fortress, and they are not afraid that the elves will not come to support the Wolf School when it is in danger.

So Ailin agreed.

Something happened here.

Shadia used magic to return to the appearance of Aunt Asha.

Subsequently.

The two people walked slowly towards the wooden house.

……

Walk up to the cabin.

Arlin and Shadia found Francesca intimately holding the arm of a red-haired elf, standing at the door waiting for them with a smile.

"Ada!"

"Aida Emin!"

The witcher and the elf shouted in surprise:
"Why are you here?"

Shouldn't she be imprisoned in a cage by Ben Ader's guards?

really!

How could Ian Savini, who can see the future, really fall into a trap?

Aida Emin smiled and turned to Shadia:

"'Grandma Asha', I'm here to pick you up."

"Ada, you also know Grandma Asha?" Francesca was surprised.

Aida Emin nodded and continued:
"Hurry up and give the commissioned reward to Ailin, then we will set off."

Reward for entrustment? I give?

Shadia was stunned for a moment, with a puzzled look on her face, and was about to ask.

"Om~"

The wolf emblem is buzzing.

The sorceresses and demon hunters present all had a strange feeling at the same time.

My heart is beating faster, my heart is racing...

"This... this is the call of destiny!"

Sadiya murmured in amazement.

next moment.

She came back to her senses and looked at the demon hunter with complicated eyes:

"So the final destination of the gem is you. That's fine... that's fine..."

Say it.

Sadya goes inside the cabin.

destiny……

Is this what Shadia called the calling of destiny?

"Yes, Miracle Child!"

“This is the call of destiny!”

Aida Emin's voice suddenly came into Ailin's mind.

Silence for two seconds.

Ailin asked in his mind:

"Is it fate that brought you here?"

Ida Emin smiled and nodded.

After getting the answer, Ailin was speechless for a moment.

It wasn't that he didn't have questions, but that there were too many questions in his mind and he didn't know which one to ask.

How did Aida Emin know he was the miracle child?

What is destiny?
correct!

I should ask this!
"Respected Knower, will Kaer Morhen be destroyed?"

Aelin asked in his mind.

Ida Emin shook her head.

Before Ailin could be surprised, he heard her say gently:

"Sorry, I don't know."

"You think the Knower is too omnipotent. We can only see occasional glimpses of the future."

"That's all!"

Ailin heard this.

I felt a little lost for a moment.

But the next second.

Shadia came out of the cabin and caught his attention.

From Wolf Emblem’s perspective, the destination of the black element is in her hands, the center of the “obsidian” embedded in the necklace.

What kind of gem is this?
The witcher's eyes were fixed on the gem.

When Shadia placed the necklace in his hand, a cold mechanical voice sounded in his ears.

"Ding!"

"Fragments of the Ard Geis Gate have been detected. Do you want to absorb them?"
