Chapter 207 Goodbye A-level evaluation
When the celestial spheres intersect, many black holes appear in the sky.
But after all, it only appeared for less than three minutes.
In fact, there are only three or four hundred water ghosts that fall from these black holes and can stand up from the ground alive and attack humans.
It's just that the distribution was too scattered and the incident happened suddenly.
It is too harmful to ordinary people who have no power at all.
But for demon hunters like Ailin, there is no danger at all.
It took almost an afternoon.
The witchers have almost cleared out all the water ghosts in the outer city of Ban Ade.

The dinging system notification startled Ailin.
He breathed softly and raised his head in confusion.
The stench of blood lingered in my nose.
The separated limbs of the water ghost's body lay scattered on the streets of the lower city.
Occasionally, there were mutilated human corpses that had been gnawed away.
The dark red blood flowed in the uneven cracks of the rocks, gathering into pools of blood.
Where Ailin's eyes swept across.
"Bang~bang~bang~"
Residents of the lower town of Ben Ade closed their windows as if they were hiding from some murderous demon.
"Whoo~"
"finished?"
Ailin let out a long breath, and his blank eyes became more lively.
"Are you okay, Aelin?"
A cold female voice came from behind.
He followed the sound.
The red-haired woman in a hood was looking at him with concern.
"Ms. Vera?"
It took Ailin two seconds to remember the plan to escape Kaedwen that he and the sorceress had agreed upon before the game.
But now.
With the Wolf School's greatest enemy dead, the wizards are left with little to do but take care of themselves.
They could have left Ban Ade's gate openly.
"It's me, are you... okay?"
The sorceress approached.
"Snapped!"
A snap of the fingers.
He produced a piece of white silk cloth and gently wiped the blood off Ailin's face.
The light scent of orange mixed with cardamom immediately drove away the strong smell of blood at the tip of the nose.
Do not know why.
Smell this fragrance.
His tense nerves relaxed instantly.
The sorceress's delicate features clearly showed "I'm worried about you."
Behind him, Vesemir was looking at him with the same worry.
Ailin shook his head and said:
"Don't worry, I'm fine."
He knew what the sorceress and Vesemir were worried about.
In the past, he might have kept his ability of Celestial Sphere Intersection hidden, fearing that the Demon Hunting Notes would be exposed.
But now that it has happened so many times, people who often hang out together will have some guesses, more or less.
Just maintained some superficial tacit understanding.
I don't tell her and she doesn't ask.
Estimated now.
The sorceress and Vesemir both felt extremely guilty for the heavy casualties among the civilians of Ban Ader caused by the conjunction of the spheres.
but.
Aelin was indeed fine.
He did feel a little guilty, after all, living people were killed by monsters in front of him because of the "out-of-control" celestial sphere intersection.
This intersection of the celestial sphere is related to him.
Ailin is not a stone, how could he not have any emotional fluctuations?
But to be honest.
There isn’t much guilt involved.
The reason why he was a little out of control was simply because he felt some empathy when he saw humans being wantonly slaughtered by monsters.
If he had not become a demon hunter of the Wolf School after traveling to this world, he might have ended up like these ordinary people in Ben Ader.
Somewhere, killed by a nameless monster.
The combination of these two factors made him somewhat out of control.
Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Ailin felt warm in his heart.
However, he would not discuss such private emotions, so he changed the subject:
"What do we do next?"
"Go to Ban Ade College to hand in the mission?"
The sorceress gave him a worried look.
Seeing that Ailin didn't want to talk about this issue, he turned to look at Soi.
After Suo Yi pondered for a moment, he said:
"The commission doesn't require so many people. I'll just go there once. Can you guys find a place to stay first?"
"Then let's go to the Hundred Fruit Garden!" Vesemir suggested.
After what happened, they definitely would not return to the Wizarding Academy and continue living in the Alzu Tower.
The city of Ban Ade is also dilapidated and not suitable for living.
Say.
The residents here don't welcome them either.
So several demon hunters nodded and had no objection.
"Vera, you go with them. Be careful to hide your whereabouts and don't show up."
"The wizards are looking for a scapegoat now."
Soi tilted his head and looked at the sorceress.
The sorceress nodded upon hearing this.
Next.
The witcher returns to the wizard academy to retrieve his horse.
The stable was always guarded.
Therefore, Ailin's mare Carrot was not injured except for being a little frightened by the earthquake and the breath of the large monster.
The mounts of other demon hunters were mostly fine as well.
Standing at the gate of Ban Ade College with his horse, Vesemir said worriedly:
"Chief, be careful of those wizards!"
“Don’t worry,” Soi patted Vesemir’s shoulder, “The person who wanted me the most is dead.”
"Ban Ade has enough troubles of his own, and now he's trying to curry favor with me."
"As for you, you should be more careful on the road."
"Teresias and Guksat of the Cat School are still in Ban Ade. Be careful of them if they are desperate!"
Vesemir nodded.
"Don't worry, I will pay attention!"
then.
Soi glanced at Ailin casually, but said nothing, then turned and walked towards the arena.
Ailin watched the Chief walk away with his two swords on his back.
He knew that the chief was not there just for the commissions and rewards.
What role did the School of the Wolf play in the scene of the King's death?
Will Hackso's death ultimately bring good or bad luck to the school...
All of these require the grandmaster of the Wolf School to fight for their interests and relieve their worries.
And these.
These are all things that Ailin cannot do and is not qualified to do.
At least not now...
……
On the street, Ban Ade's city guards finally came to their senses and began to maintain order in the entire city with weapons.
Occasionally, citizens were arranged to clean up the corpses on the streets.
Water ghost's, or human's.
Crying, cursing, sobbing and rejoicing...
A variety of emotions turned into voices that echoed throughout Ban Ade. "Thank you for saving my wife and daughter."
Ailin, who was walking slowly towards the city gate holding Carrot, was stunned when he heard the sudden voice.
When I looked up, I found that it was a middle-aged man in exquisite clothes.
Next to him, a woman wearing a bloodstained blue dress and holding a child was bowing her head to greet him.
To be honest, Aelin didn't remember saving this man.
The middle-aged man hugged the woman tightly with tears in his eyes.
The two men bowed to Alin and the other demon hunters and handed over an exquisite purse.
"This is a little bit of our thoughts."
Ailin remained silent and had no intention of accepting it.
After refusing several times, the couple still insisted.
"Please accept it. Money can't buy the lives of your family. Aisha and Bailey are much more valuable than this bag of coins."
"If you don't accept it, we will no longer be able to pray to the merciful Ms. Meliteli!"
Ailin was embarrassed.
This accident has something to do with him.
He wouldn't blame himself too much, but accepting a reward from the victim was somewhat beyond his moral bottom line.
"Take it!" Vesemir next to him advised.
finally,
Ailin accepted the purse anyway.
After all, if he, a demon hunter who "rescues people", does not accept the bounty, it would seem that he is trying to cover up something problematic.
You never know, the wizard might catch your mistake.
From the entrance of Ban Ade College to the city gate.
There are still many residents who come to express their gratitude.
Obvious.
Because Ailin and his men hunted water ghosts and rescued the people.
The image of the witcher in the eyes of the residents of Ban Ader has greatly improved.
Of course.
Not everyone looks upon them with gratitude.
Ailin's keen hearing also caught a lot of people saying things like "disaster star", "monster", "freak cursed by the gods brings bad luck", etc., which were unpleasant to the ear.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
The witchers pretended not to hear.
If you shout too loudly and arrogantly and someone hears you, there will naturally be civilians who have accepted your help and will help to refute you.
that's it.
Amidst everyone's gratitude, Ailin and his companions spent nearly an hour before they reached the gate of Ban Ade.
Not long after leaving the city, I saw Vera wearing a hood on the side of the road.
The sorceress glanced at the bulging saddle bags under the witchers and smiled:
"It seems like you guys have had a good harvest?"
"I didn't expect there are so many good people in Ban Ade!" Fred patted his saddle bag happily.
After leaving the city, he immediately took out his purse and counted the money.
There were at least two hundred orens worth of silver and copper coins in there, most of which came from the upper city.
Although some people in the Lower Town also gave money and other things as a token of gratitude.
However, Fred and several other witchers did not accept it.
Feeling the heavy weight next to his calf, Fred was already thinking about how to spend the money.
But after thinking about it, the thing he desired most was the North Wind Bomb made by Ailin.
"With this money, maybe I can try to make a North Wind myself?"
Frey thought.
“Does anyone still remember the reluctance of some people when they were cleaning up the water ghosts?”
Vesemir glanced at the young witchers who were in high spirits and criticized them.
"Who knew there were good people among the residents of Ban Ade?" Fred smiled awkwardly and touched his head.
He was the most reluctant person when it came to hunting monsters.
Hughes and Fred also echoed:
"Fred is right. The people there before were really awful."
"Who would want to help them clean up monsters when they look down on and even despise the demon hunters?"
"They are just deceived!" Vesemir said earnestly.
The young witcher was not interested in the great principles spoken by the witcher master.
Seeing that Vesemir was about to start a long speech, Fred immediately turned his head to look at Erin, who was a little distracted.
"Alin, how many lines did you collect this time?"
Ailin was stunned and was about to speak.
"somebody is coming!"
The sorceress gave a warning and instantly disappeared from their sight.
Soon.
The witcher heard the sound of horse hooves behind him.
Follow the sound.
Two young men wearing the black robes of the wizards of Ben Ade Academy rode on horses and rode towards them.
A very urgent look.
Vesemir frowned. "Make way!"
The young witchers urged their horses to make way, but they didn't expect that the two boys would stop right in front of them.
"Master Vesemir, I am Radek of the Camarillo family."
"My companion and I are planning to go home. May I ask about your next itinerary?"
"If we are going the same route, can we go together?"
"The Camarillo family?"
Vesemir removed his wide-brimmed black hat.
The dark golden, sharp cat eyes stared at the two young men sitting on the horses.
But they were not afraid at all.
"Yes, the Camarillos," Radek repeated.
Perhaps worried that Vesemir had forgotten, he added:
"My grandfather Black Camarillo and my father Pasha Camarillo have both met you once before. Please help me hunt down the giant griffin that is causing trouble in the village."
Big Griffin?
Seeing that the wizard was so specific, Vesemir recalled and said hesitantly:
"Is it the Camarillo who specifically sought out the painter?"
Radek smiled cheerfully and nodded vigorously:
"That's the Camarillo!"
"The painting depicting the heroic figure of Master Vesemir is still hanging in the banquet hall of my castle..."
Vesemir looked at Arryn hesitantly.
After the Chief returns from Ban Ade and settles the matter of the Apprentice Competition.
He was going to set off with Arryn to the Temple of Melitele in Ellander to remove the curse from Arryn.
I don't plan to take any more commissions.
And Ms. Vera is waiting invisibly nearby...
But the Camarillo family is indeed along this route and is indeed one of his major clients.
The market for demon hunters is not very good right now, so it would be a bit bad to refuse the request of the sponsor.
Seeing Vesemir's embarrassment, Arryn hesitated for a moment.
After hearing the sorceress agree to the mission in his mind, he directly told her the destination.
"We are planning to go to Elland. Is that on the way?"
"On my way! On my way!"
Radek said quickly, then took out fifty orens and handed them to Vesemir.
For an ordinary caravan, a few orens would be enough to request such a trip.
But after all, he is a master witcher of the Wolf School, and there is another witcher who also has the strength of a master witcher.
So even though it hurt a little, Radek took out the money without hesitation.
Seeing that Arryn had no objection, Vesemir hesitated for two seconds and then took it.
Radek and another wizard apprentice immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Joined the demon hunter team.
After learning that Ms. Vera went to the Hundred Fruit Garden on her own, Vesemir arranged for the team to continue moving towards the Hundred Fruit Garden.
Radek is a very sociable person.
Just two or three sentences made the young witchers let down their guard against the wizard and started chatting enthusiastically.
After a long time.
He suddenly remembered that he had not yet introduced the identity of his companion, so he smiled and said:
"I almost forgot to introduce..."
"This is my companion Bogdan."
"During the Apprentice Competition, he was one of the few people who bought your winnings."
When the young demon hunters heard this, they immediately became more favorable to Bogdan.
"What about you?" Fred got to the point. "Who did you bet on to win?"
"Uh……"
Radek was speechless for a moment.
