Chapter 211 Mary is a good girl
"Bang~"
The wooden door of the office was closed.
Heng Gedimides put down the report in his hand and sighed.
Thomas Moreau.
A wizard and expert in genetic mutations.
Decades ago, Thomas Moreau was rescued from the clutches of a monster by a witcher.
But after he had to send his son Gerald to the witcher due to an accident, he went crazy.
After a sorceress awakens her spellcasting ability, her uterus will be affected by magic and she will lose her fertility.
Although wizards are relatively better.
But with long-term study of magic, their fertility will gradually disappear.
therefore.
After Geron, Thomas Moreau had no more children.
In order to have offspring to inherit his bloodline, he conducted mad research and vowed to reverse the mutation process of the demon hunters.
Henry Gedimides did not know what specific results the research had produced.
But when he saw Thomas Moreau again after decades, Heng Gedimides knew he was crazy!
Thomas Moreau's only remaining goal in life is to destroy all witchers.
There are many wizards who have the same experience as Ben Ade. The law of accidents seems to particularly "favor" humans with magical powers.
Plus some nobles who had the same experience.
The Demon Hunter must die!
"What a pity it's the wrong time!" Hen Gedimidis sighed again.
What Ban Ade will face next may be an unprecedented dilemma.
How can I have the energy to create new enemies?
Besides, he had no hatred towards the witcher.
But as the nominal leader of the wizards, I have to do something.
otherwise.
Allowing wizards to kill witchers in private.
Soon, this group of people will become the target of public criticism.
If they are not careful, the dilemma that the witcher is facing now may fall on the wizard.
But it is impossible to persuade a person who has lost his mind for revenge, let alone a group of people who have lost their mind.
Even though he was the oldest and most senior wizard in the world, there was nothing he could do about it.
"It's difficult!"
Heng Gedimides sighed again.
At this moment.
"Dong Dong Dong~"
There was a knock on the wooden door.
Heng Gedimides resumed his expressionless look.
"Squeak~"
The wooden door was opened.
"Dean, the experimental records of Jaynes' research on 'gems' during his lifetime..."
A young wizard entered the office with a pile of books floating behind him.
When Hen Gedimidis saw the appearance of the visitor, he said gently:
"Valeriu, your use of mental power is becoming more and more mature... Just put it on the ground... Thank you."
The book floating in the air slowly fell to the ground.
"It's all thanks to the Dean's good teaching..."
After saying this politely, Valerius did not leave in a hurry. After hesitating for a moment, he asked hesitantly:
"Dean, was the intersection of the celestial spheres really made by Jaynes?"
"It can't be that the demon hunter is really summoning the evil god, right?"
Hen Gedimides made a joke that was not funny.
So Valerius did not laugh.
He looked at Heng Gedimides seriously with a slightly childish face.
Seeing this, Heng Gedimidis shook his head helplessly:
"I don't know either, but Jaynes is indeed the most likely candidate..."
"How could you not know?" Valerius asked in surprise, "You are the oldest wizard, the powerful 'Magic Source'!"
In his mind, the learned Henry Gedimides could do anything.
"Hahaha~" Hen Gedimidis laughed, "Valeriu, I'm just a wizard, not a god."
"Besides, even gods cannot be omniscient and omnipotent."
"The conjunction of the spheres and gemstones have always been Jaynes' research projects."
"I haven't really studied this in depth, and the specific results may only be known after examining these reports."
Valeriu shook his head upon hearing this:
"In my heart, you are much more powerful than those deceitful gods."
then.
He bowed and prepared to leave the office without disturbing Heng Gedimides.
"Squeak~"
The old wooden door was groaning.
"Dean, will Ben Ade be okay?"
Valeriu suddenly turned around.
After a pause, Hen Gedimidis said firmly:
"Yes, Valerius."
"Ban Ade will be fine."
……
The next day
Hundred Fruit Garden.
"Boom~"
An orange-red portal appeared in Vesemir's room.
"Alin, please be careful on the way!"
Xius stood in front of the portal, reluctant to leave.
Yes.
According to the plan, it is time for the Apprentice Fighting Competition team to disband.
The traveling trials after the mountain trials are all one-on-one.
An older and more experienced demon hunter with a younger demon hunter.
On the one hand, this is more efficient, and young demon hunters can absorb the knowledge of hunting demons and dealing with people more effectively.
Another aspect is to avoid trouble.
Five armored and sword-carrying demon hunters skilled in swordsmanship are an armed force too powerful for any village or town.
To avoid trouble and for the safety of the village.
It is generally impossible to put so many witchers into the village at once, and the local nobles along the way do not welcome groups of witchers coming.
If you’re unlucky, you might even be kicked out and “escorted” out of the country by the army or city guards.
The reason why Vesemir could lead Arryn and the others smoothly this time was naturally because Haxo had given them passes in advance.
The cities along the way have also been notified.
But now, even Hackso is dead.
We must keep a low profile and make sure that the blame that was finally put on Ban Ade is put more tightly to avoid affecting them.
of course.
After returning to Kaer Morhen through the portal, they would not stay in the Ancient Sea Fortress all this year.
The Chief will arrange for other demon hunters to conduct formal traveling trials for them.
"One...must leave through the portal?"
Fred looked at the spinning orange light and his face turned pale.
"There are no pursuers now, maybe... maybe we don't need a portal..."
"We're in no hurry to go back!"
"Yeah!" Bonte's face didn't look very good either. "In fact, we can also go back on horseback. It won't take long."
They were also reluctant to leave Aelin, but avoiding leaving through the portal was the most important thing at the moment.
Although I only experienced the feeling of returning to Kaer Morhen in Old Spearhead Cave once, it was really... really unforgettable.
"no!"
Vesemir refused righteously.
"Why?" Fred's face turned pale, and he wanted to struggle one last time.
“Just be happy in secret!” Vesemir rolled his eyes.
"The other demon hunters have already gone down the mountain. The ones waiting for you in Kaer Morhen are all demon hunter masters over a hundred years old!"
"Are you sure you want them to wait for you for ten days or half a month?"
that……
That is of course uncertain...
but.
Although the option of going home through the portal was inevitable, upon hearing that the trial instructor was the Demon Hunter Master, both Bonte and Fred perked up at the same time.
Travel trials are essential.
The strength of the demon hunters after the trial is not only related to their attitude, but also closely related to their mentor.
It goes without saying that the difference between five years of learning from ordinary demon hunters and five years of learning from a demon hunter master is huge. At least.
If you learn from the Demon Hunter Master.
During these five years, there will definitely be a chance to see the Master Demon Hunter hunting a large monster.
Even think a little better.
In five years, maybe they could become master demon hunters like Arryn.
This is an opportunity that is almost impossible to obtain by learning from ordinary demon hunters.
There was no hope of catching up with Aelin, but we were all people with self-respect.
Who wants to keep holding back?
then.
Fred and Bonte stopped complaining, wiped their faces, and walked into the portal resolutely as if they were going to the execution ground.
Hughes followed closely behind.
The sorceress watched this scene with some amusement.
"Snapped!"
A snap of the fingers.
Two bottles of Green Sighs appeared in the sorceress's hands and she handed them to Aelin.
"This is too precious! Ms. Vera! I can't have it!"
Ailin quickly refused.
I didn't know the value of this potion before, but I still had the audacity to accept it.
Now that everyone knows about it, it’s naturally impossible for me to accept it.
The sorceress advised, "Take it! This is to make up for the two bottles you used up!"
Ailin shook his head and refused, saying, "This is too precious. I..."
"Don't worry," the sorceress smiled and glanced at Soi and Vesemir. "The bottle used by Bonte will be paid for by your mentor, and the bottle given to Shadia will be paid for by the chief."
Soi and Vesemir looked at each other, with bitter smiles on their faces, but they did not deny it.
Bont's injury was Vesemir's fault for not fulfilling his duties as a leader.
The bottle of Shadia was used to win allies for the school, so naturally it would be settled by the chief or the school.
Reasonable and well-founded.
Arlin was stunned for a moment when he heard this. Feeling the weight of Elsa on his back, he subconsciously glanced at Vesemir:
"Where did Master Vesemir get the money?"
"He even..."
He hasn't even redeemed his original wife yet...
Ailin reacted to the latter sentence but didn't say it out loud.
But Vesemir guessed what he wanted to say, and shouted angrily:
"Don't worry about it, kid. I've been a demon hunter master for many years and I have plenty of money..."
"He owes me money on credit..." The sorceress smiled and revealed the truth, "My money!"
Vesemir was about to glare at the sorceress, but before he could glance over, he realized that it was a bloody red fox and quickly retracted his gaze.
"or……"
Vesemir waved his hand to interrupt Arryn:
"No, what belongs to you is yours."
"Take it. Human life is much more important than money."
"If it weren't for your bottle of medicine, Hughes would at least be disabled because of my negligence."
"If that happens, I will regret it for the rest of my life."
"So this is a lesson, a lesson for me!"
"The school will bear half of the cost!" Soi also spoke up.
Ailin stopped being pretentious when he saw this.
"Bang, bang, bang!"
Two bottles of Verdant Sighs were placed in the potion bag.
The sorceress nodded with satisfaction, rubbed Ailin's head gently, and said:
"In that case, let's go back."
"If you have anything, contact me through the teaser bird!"
Feeling the warmth on his head, Ailin suddenly felt reluctant.
"Be safe along the way."
"Remember, your life is more important than anything else!"
After saying that, the sorceress glanced at Soi and walked into the portal.
Soi followed closely behind.
When passing by Ailin.
The right hand, which was almost touching his head, as if wanting to touch his head like a sorceress, paused, then gently patted Ailin's shoulder.
"You did a great job this time!" Soi praised with a smile.
"Don't worry about anything else. No matter what happens, my...school will always support you!"
When Ailin saw the gentle smile on the chief's face, his heart warmed up, as if he was soaking in a hot spring.
"Ok!"
Ailin nodded vigorously.
Seeing this, Soi smiled and was about to enter the portal.
Suddenly, as if remembering something, he turned his head and looked at Ailin:
"Contact Mary more often..."
"She's a good girl!"
then.
Before Ailin could figure out the meaning of this sentence.
The Chief smiled and walked into the portal.
"Boom!"
The portal disappears.
The bedroom suddenly became quiet.
……
"Are the other witchers gone?"
Radek held the bowl and looked at Vesemir in surprise.
He didn't think it was rude for a few young witchers to leave without saying goodbye...
Of course, there is some truth to this.
After all, he had a very pleasant chat with several young demon hunters yesterday.
The key is……
He had clearly seen the witcher named Fred in the morning.
It's not even noon yet, why are you leaving?
"Well, they have other things to do so they will go back first." Ailin said expressionlessly.
Zeus, Bonte and Fred left through Vera's portal. In order to avoid the wizards of Ban Ade knowing that the sorceress had arrived, they naturally could not tell the two apprentices.
Radek and Bogdan looked at each other and said nothing more.
This is obviously a perfunctory remark, so why bother with it?
After all, they were not familiar with each other, and they were not curious enough to know the answer.
“After this lunch, we’ll set off.” Vesemir took out a roll of parchment and spread it out on the table.
This is a hand-drawn map.
Perhaps because Kaer Morhen was too close to Ban Ader, this was the first time that Aelin saw Vesemir take out the map.
Old and detailed.
This was Ailin’s first impression of the map.
From the gaps on the edge of the parchment, it is obvious that this map has been weathered. It has been at least thirty or forty years since it was first drawn.
However, it can be seen that Vesemir protected it very well. The cities, landforms, and even common monsters on the parchment are marked.
"Our destination is Elland, and your goal is Tridam. It seems that we are not on the same route..."
Vesemir looked at Radek.
"No!"
Radek shook his head, pointing his finger across the Blue Mountains, across the Pontar River, the border between Kaedwen and Aedirn, to Fangerburg, the capital of Aedirn.
"I..." He glanced at Bogdan, "We plan to go here, just take a short detour."
Vesemir looked in the direction he pointed:
"It's not a long detour, but isn't the territory of the Kamalel family in Tridam?"
"What are you doing in the capital of Aedirn?"
Radek said, "Well... I have an aunt who is very close to me. She married a court baron from Fangerburg."
"We haven't seen each other for a long time, so I plan to go to her place to hide away."
Vesemir frowned and looked up at Radek.
He wondered whether any of the women of the Kamal family had married into Fangerburg.
but.
Let’s not talk about whether it is appropriate for the Earl’s family to marry their daughter to a court baron.
Kaedwen and Aedirn have been at war for more than ten years. Marrying a daughter to an enemy country...
Something is wrong!
Radek looked calm.
Vesemir lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then agreed.
It seems that Kamal is the only family that would hang his portrait in the banquet hall.
The relationship with this major customer is still worth maintaining.
"can!"
Vesemir nodded slightly.
