Chapter 57 Farooq

The two demon hunters on guard looked at each other, then checked the documents handed over by the man and made way.

Robin was stunned when he saw this. He thought that the wizard came to Kaer Morhen just to take him away.

The wizard was being watched by a witcher, and he didn't react until he was a long way away.

"Alin, I'm leaving now."

He was in a hurry to catch up, but suddenly seemed to remember something, walked back and whispered something in Ailin's ear, then left in a hurry.

"I left a gift that you will definitely like in the library."

Gift?

The library is so big, where can I find it?

Ailin scratched his head and walked towards the library in confusion.

Walking on the road leading to the main castle, the witcher apprentice suddenly remembered a detail just now.

The two witchers guarding the gate seemed unaware that a messenger from the king would be coming today.

But Kaer Morhen is clearly a place for communication. At least Robin received a letter from Ban Ader College a few days ago.

Did the chief not receive the letter, or did he receive it but deliberately ignored it?

wrong!

The fact that the messenger did not react to the cold reception he received showed that he had known this for a long time.

"The person who came here is evil!"

The witcher apprentice gazed at the towering gray-white main castle from afar, and seemed to have thought of something, with a solemn expression.

……

The top floor of the main castle.

The reception room of the chief of the Wolf School.

"Grandmaster Soi, I am Farouk Ismail, sending greetings on behalf of Ban Ade Academy."

Farouk placed his right hand on his chest and saluted.

The demon hunter looked at the wizard coldly as he performed the full salute and said:

"I have received no letter from the king, and you say you represent Ben Ade."

"So what do you wizards want to do?"

The oppressive gaze of the Wolf School Grand Master made the wizard a little nervous, and he could hardly maintain the gentle smile on his face.

He trembled as he took out the document from his pocket and handed it over, then said respectfully:
"Please don't misunderstand, Grandmaster Soi."

"I did bring the king's document. Next year, the fighting competition between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School will be held in Ban Ade on the fifteenth day after the spring equinox."

“So, I send my regards on behalf of Ben Ade College.”

"As to why I didn't receive the King's letter in advance, I'm not sure about that either."

Without the sorceress's mind-reading ability, Soi could tell that the wizard opposite was talking nonsense.

But he might be the king's messenger after all.

So the chief stared at him expressionlessly for a few seconds and then opened the document in his hand.

The unicorn-shaped wax seal, when split in two, exudes a fruity aroma.

There was nothing wrong with the handwriting, wording, or titles.

The letter was indeed from King Harksor of Kaedwen.

But even after confirming the authenticity of the letter, Soi's expression did not soften.

If it was really a letter from the king, then the matter would be even more serious.

However, considering that Vera was already helping him collect information, Soi did not get entangled with the wizard. After a moment of silence, he nodded and said:

"I received the letter, you can leave now."

"Wait, Grandmaster..."

Grandmaster Soi cast his gaze again, and Farouk's forehead broke out in sweat, but he still asked in a trembling voice:

"I heard that the Ancient Sea Fortress is majestic and magnificent, a miracle that only the Wolf School Demon Hunters can create. Grandmaster, can you find someone to take me on a tour?"

This was not an excessive request. Farouk's words also made Soi put aside his grudge against this wizard. He said:

"Isn't Robin going to leave with you?"

"He grew up in Kaer Morhen. Let him show you around."

Farouk bowed again and walked out the door.

When he was almost at the door, the wizard turned around and asked casually:
"Veyra the Sorceress is in Kaer Morhen..."

Soi waved his hand and interrupted, "Vera left a few days ago."

Farouk nodded thoughtfully, bowed again, and left.

"boom"

The door was closed. The leader of the Wolf School held the delicate white letter paper and felt a headache.

In the letter, Hackso mentioned the elf again, hoping that he would go with him to the fighting competition between the apprentices of the Wolf School and the Cat School to discuss how to eliminate the "Long Ears".

But he has clearly rejected this matter.

"Never mind, let's wait for Vera to come back and let her take a look."

The witcher put the letter away and looked out the window.

The peaks of the Blue Mountains are covered with snow all year round, as if it has been like this since time immemorial and will always remain so.

Looking at the golden mountains illuminated by the sunset, the witcher sighed, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Can the Wolf School stand like this towering mountain for tens of millions of years?"

……

The library in the north tower.

After entering the library, Ailin did not hesitate and walked straight into the depths of the library.

He had thought it through clearly on the way, and since Robin didn't tell him where it was, it must be a place that both of them remembered.

Even he had guessed what Robin had given him.

After a while.

"really!"

Ailin's eyes twitched as he took down a carefully wrapped book from the shelf where the experimental records were stored.

"One Thousand and One Nights of the Master Demon Hunter and the Female Demon".

"Robin misunderstood me. How could I possibly like this kind of book!"

As he spoke, Ailin quickly opened the exquisite lambskin cover.

Skip the preface and go directly to the main text.

……

About half an hour later.

"Master Vesemir is truly amazing. He can even handle monsters like the Night Demon!"

After criticizing the rubbish article about the other world, Ailin couldn't help but praise the master witcher's abilities.

But then he got a little stuck.

"Where should I put this book?"

As a witcher apprentice living in a dormitory, he certainly couldn't take this book back and put it next to his pillow.

He glanced around at the dusty bookshelves.

"Just leave it here. It seems that few demon hunters like to read books."

As he was thinking, Ailin was about to put the book back on the bookshelf.

"what?"

Out of the corner of my eye I saw what seemed to be a line of small words on the back of the book.

"To my dear friend - Ailin."

This short line of small characters is deliberately written in cursive.

Ailin's face darkened instantly, and he was ready to find something to erase the writing.

But after walking a few steps outside, he sighed again and found a hidden corner to hide the book.

……

After walking out of the library, Ailin, feeling a little depressed, almost bumped into someone.

When I looked up, I realized it was the wizard I had just seen.

"Alin?"

Robin followed the wizard and was a little surprised when he saw Ailin by chance, but then he proudly introduced him to the wizard next to him:
"Mr. Farouk, this is my good friend Aelin in Kaer Morhen. Don't underestimate him because he is just a demon hunter apprentice..."

The wizard named Farouk was a little absent-minded like Arryn.

He felt annoyed when he heard Robin introducing the lowly witcher apprentice in front of him and was about to interrupt.

Suddenly, I heard that annoying wizard apprentice change his words:

"By the way, Mr. Farouk, didn't you just ask Ms. Vera what she did in Kaer Morhen?"

"Alin has been learning alchemy from Ms. Vera..."
