Chapter 206 A Dilemma

The yellow silk was dyed dark brown by the blood.

Whether wizards or witchers, everyone stared at the flag for a long time.

Heng Gedimides did not use any magic, but walked forward and gently opened a small hole in the flag of Kaedwen.

"Whoo~"

Heng Gedimides sighed.

Under the flag, Hakeso was covered in blood and died in a very undignified manner.

He couldn't even find eyes to cover the gold coins.

then.

Heng Gedimides knew that Ban Ade College was in danger this time.

Even though they have the most powerful wizards, they also have deep ties with the nobles of the northern continent.

It doesn't make sense either.

As long as they don't intend to break the rules, the magic they master will be useless no matter how powerful it is.

The relationship with various noble families is naturally very useful when things are going well.

But when facing headwinds, especially when facing the revenge of a king who murdered his father, it may not be a certainty.

So Ben Ade is dangerous!
Not far.

This can be easily seen from the rise and fall of the Demon Hunter.

When the supreme authority in a piece of land wants to embarrass a force or a person, as long as they don't want to use force or overturn the table directly.

It is doomed to decline and decay.

It's the same even for Ben Ade.

At least the new king of Kaedwen can choose the witches of Aretuza when choosing court wizards.

A little more serious.

If the new king locks the hatred of his father's murder on Ban Ade.

Even Heng Gedimides could hardly imagine how miserable the wizards of their Ban Ade line would be in the next few decades.

After sighing in his heart, Heng Gedimidis lowered his head and pondered, trying to find a way out for the future of the academy.

But I couldn't think of a feasible method.

The king died in Ban Ade.

The cause of death was clear.

A sudden intersection of the celestial spheres summoned a monster that killed him.

Hundreds of people present witnessed this scene with their own eyes. Countless wizards released carrier pigeons to their family, and even two cat school witchers who knew the truth fled away.

There is no way to hide it.

and.

This cause of death would not be a big deal wherever it happened, except in Ban Ade.

As one of the two places in the northern continent that conducts the most in-depth research on magic and space, Ban Ade cannot prove...

Is this a natural disaster or a man-made disaster?
Was it intentional? Or was it accidental?

Although from the apprentice's description, it seemed that Hackso was indeed unlucky and happened to sit below the intersection of the celestial spheres.

Ban Ade gained nothing from the king's death.

instead……

Heng Gedimidis glanced coldly at the demon hunters.

On the contrary, the Wolf School, which was the most hated by Haxo, benefited the most.

Not only did he kill his most powerful enemy, he also used his death to trip up another enemy.

Highly suspicious.

But even with his status, he knew that such responsibility could not be placed on the witcher.

Even the most arrogant nobles who have only a vague understanding of the occult know that demon hunters cannot use magic, but only some magical tricks called sigils.

If one studies it more deeply, the fact that the demon hunter fainted due to the portal will be discovered.

therefore.

It doesn't work to attribute the cause of the intersection of the celestial spheres to the king's hatred of the Wolf School and his harm by the witcher.

It’s so difficult!

Heng Gedimides sighed again.

but.

It's not a big deal to tie everyone up here.

then.

Heng Gedimidis gently put down the flag, stood up, looked at Soi, and said softly:
"Grandmaster, what are your school's plans for the future?"

Soi didn't know what the wizard in front of him wanted to do. He lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then said:
"If you have nothing else to do, we are going back to Kaer Morhen."

Although there are hordes of monsters in the city of Choleraban Ade.

But Soi did not intend to take Vesemir and the others to clear the monsters on their own without the invitation of their master.

This is the wizard's territory after all.

It is taboo to do so when they are capable of solving the problem themselves.

Hearing what Soi said, Heng Gedimidis was not surprised.

But he shook his head, stroked his beard, and suggested:
"Grandmaster, can I entrust you to help this city eliminate those disasters that fell from the sky?"

"As you can see, Ben Ade has a big problem to deal with."

"As for the remuneration..."

"We can pay a bounty of five Auren for each water ghost. What do you think?"

Soi and Vesemir looked at each other.

Although the wizards of Ban Ader had good intentions, even now no one knew what conspiracy was hidden beneath their filthy robes.

But the Wolf School would not refuse such a commission.

The demon hunter's mission is to hunt monsters and protect humans.

Even though... these humans are relatively unfriendly.

then.

"can."

Soi nodded slightly, then left with Vesemir and several witchers.

……

After watching the witcher leave with two swords on his back and arranging the wizard apprentices in the arena, the gentle smile on Heng Gedimides' face suddenly disappeared.

Most of the wizards who came back with him took their apprentices to clean out the water ghosts in the academy.

Only two wizards were left with him.

"Dean, why do you want to entrust those demon hunters? With Ban Ade's power, we can solve it ourselves..."

One of the younger wizards was somewhat indignant when he saw Heng Gedimides entrusting the task to those damn freaks.

"are you going?"

Hen Gedimides glanced at him and interrupted.

"Huh?" The young wizard was stunned.

"I say, if I assign you to deal with those water ghosts, will you go?"

The young wizard was suddenly speechless.

To be honest, with his strength, there would be no problem in killing some water ghosts.

but……

Why should he help those inferior people?

then.

The young wizard hesitated, unable to agree even at the risk of offending the dean.

Henry Gedimides knew the wizards under him very well and did not hold them to a grudge.

"The king died in his own house. Who would have the energy to go out and play hide-and-seek with the water ghost?"

"Demon hunters were created to do this kind of thing."

“We’re just spending some money.”

The dean of Ban Ade College said coldly.

The young wizard could only shut up.

At this time.

Another wizard looked at the corpse on the ground with concern, then turned his head to look at Heng Gedimidis:
"Dean, the king is dead."

"I'm afraid the royal family and nobles of Ade Kalai will not give up."

"What should we do……"

After a pause, he glanced around and confirmed that there were only three of them left in the arena, then whispered:

"And the demon hunters originally planned to destroy Kaer Morhen by the end of this year..."

"Now that the king is dead... I wonder if Haxo has made any arrangements for the rioting civilians and mercenaries... If not..."

“Do we need to continue with the year-end plans?”

Hen Gedimides heard this.

He just stared indifferently at the black unicorn flag on the ground.

He said nothing for a long time.

……

"what!"

"Help!" "Quack! Quack!"

The world outside Ban Ade College seemed like the end of the world, with cries for help, screams and roars everywhere.

The strong smell of blood filled the air.

Blood smeared the uneven ground.

Mutilated bodies were piled up randomly on the streets.

There are also a large number of water ghosts chasing and biting humans.

The once prosperous upper town area is now like hell on earth.

in fact.

In a big city like Ban Ade, the defense force is usually very strong, and it would not be destroyed like this by a mere water ghost.

After all, these are just some low-level monsters.

The guards' weapons are mixed with some silver to help them deal with these common monsters.

however.

The news that the king had just been killed by monsters flew out of the academy like wings without anyone intercepting it.

The bureaucrats who run the city are now worried about their own future and are busy connecting with each other to seek political capital.

How could they care about the civilians in the city who are suffering?

Coupled with the intersection of the celestial spheres, the falling water ghosts were almost evenly distributed in every place in the city.

The guards were like headless flies, with extremely low efficiency.

therefore.

Throughout the city, people suffered heavy casualties.

The situation did not improve until the demon hunter from the Wolf School left the academy.

Ever since I walked out of Ben Ade College and saw this scene before me.

Ailin remained silent, waving Elsa and rushing up to chop the water ghosts when he saw them.

Hughes, Bunter, and Fred were just kids after all.

They still remembered the unfair treatment that the Wolf School witchers had received in this city over the past half month.

we can even say.

None of them had ever felt a glimmer of kindness in Ban Ade.

therefore.

Although they were also under Ailin's leadership, they also killed the water ghosts they saw in batches and rescued civilians.

But he kept mumbling something, and even though there was a reward, he was still reluctant.

I don't understand Ailin's bitter and resentful look.

As for Soi and Vesemir.

They all more or less guessed some of the truth, and after looking at each other, they didn't say much.

Follow the young demon hunter and fill in the gaps.

To prevent them from getting carried away while hunting and being seized by water ghosts.

that's it.

The demon hunters of the Wolf School fought their way from the upper city to the lower city.

Countless bodies of water ghosts were separated and scattered on the bloody road behind them.

until……

When passing through a remote alley, someone suddenly stopped me.

"What's going on in this city?"

"Why is there suddenly an earthquake and so many monsters appearing?"

"What are you doing now? Aren't you leaving now?"

A cold voice came from the shadow of the building, causing Soi and Vesemir, who were at the end of the line, to stop.

The four young demon hunters seemed to have heard nothing and continued to kill the monsters wreaking havoc on the street.

next second.

A graceful figure in a black robe and a hood suddenly appeared in front of Vesemir.

It's Ms. Vera.

According to the agreed plan.

Several witchers from the Wolf School left Ban Ader College.

Except for Arryn and Vesemir, all other witchers will be sent back to Kaer Morhen by her.

and so.

To prevent unexpected situations.

She had been hiding in Ban Ader all day today, in the shadows of the buildings, watching with shock and worry the earth-shaking changes taking place in the wizarding city.

“It’s the intersection of the celestial spheres.”

Vesemir, who was guarding the young witcher, quickly replied when he saw the sorceress.

"The intersection of the celestial spheres summoned these water ghosts..."

"The celestial spheres meet?"

After capturing the key words, Vera subconsciously glanced at Ailin who was concentrating on killing water ghosts not far away.

Ailin lowered his head and swung the silver sword, sending out streaks of silver light.

He said nothing and looked in a very bad mood.

So Vera turned her head and looked at Soi.

"Hackso is dead!" said Soi.

"Huh?" Vera was stunned.

"Uh... it's a bit complicated to explain..." Soi paused and organized his words, "During the Apprentice Competition, two celestial spheres suddenly intersected in the arena of Ban Ade College..."

"in short……"

"Haxo was crushed to death by a large monster that suddenly appeared when the celestial spheres intersected."

"The wizards are now hiring the water ghosts that are wreaking havoc in our city of Kiyosato..."

what?
Vera was a little confused.

He knew every word Suo Yi said, so why couldn't she understand when they were put together?
The intersection of the celestial spheres summoned a large monster, which crushed the King of Kaedwen to death in Ban Ader Academy?
Is there such a good thing?

The sorceress glanced at Soi and Vesemir.

Judging from their expressions, this bizarre thing actually seems to be true?
Something is wrong!
This rare conjunction of the celestial spheres happens to occur during the apprentice competition between the Wolf School and the Cat School.

It happened to be in Ban Ade, and it happened to kill Hackso...

The probability of each of these events happening by chance is approximately zero.

All three in one…

Is this really possible?

but……

Vera looked at Aelin.

Is this a good thing anyway?

Why was Ayling in such a low mood?

If you don’t understand, just ask.

The sorceress's voice rang directly in Soi's mind.

"What happened to Aylin?"

"Isn't it a good thing for your school that Hackso is dead?"

Upon hearing this, Soi glanced at the hellish scene around him and sighed in his mind.

"Filius Miraculi - the miracle child - was born in a bitter cold land."

"Death and rebirth, inhuman people bring blood and fire."

The sorceress was stunned.

Miracle Child...

Blood and fire...

Subconsciously, I followed Soi's gaze and looked around.

The scarlet blood flowed freely on the earth.

The demon hunters of the Wolf School eliminated the monsters in the upper city, but that doesn't mean they eliminated the chaos at the same time.

In the direction they came from.

Thick smoke billowed, swirling up into the sky.

Obviously.

After the natural disasters were eliminated, man-made disasters prevailed.

The sorceress looked at Aelin in surprise and asked in Soi's mind:

"You mean...Alin was responsible for all this?"

"I don't know, but..." Soi shook his head. "It can't be such a coincidence, can it?"

"Who else could do this except the Child of Miracles?"

The sorceress was silent.

"Help me comfort him, Vera!"

"It's not his fault!"
