Chapter 85: Ailin is going to be stabbed?

"The fighting competition between the Wolf School and the Cat School, when are you going to notify Ailin and the others?"

The chief was somewhat disappointed when he heard this. He glanced at Ailin who was drinking revelry and said:
"Tomorrow, at least let them party all night tonight."

Vera nodded her fair and smooth chin slightly and said nothing more.

The two of them leaned against each other in the corner, in the darkness that could not be illuminated by the campfire.

Look at him, watch over him.

……

Time passed quickly as we drank and chatted.

The flames from the bonfire were tired and fading away, now less than half their initial height.

In the dim firelight, the long table reflected the golden glow of grease.

Only the black wild boars in the Blue Mountains can produce fat of this color when roasted under the scorching flames.

Unlike ordinary wild boars, this black-haired wild boar does not require too much seasoning, and the roasted meat will exude a fruity wood aroma.

Unfortunately, all that was left on the long table were various greasy bones, and not a trace of pork was to be seen.

"Bang! Bang!"

Large wooden tankards collided, and the aroma of ale filled the air.

"Gulu~Gulu~"

After drinking the delicious wine, the witchers decided to go back to sleep.

"Let's go... Let's go... Ailin... Let's go back to the apprentice dormitory..."

Hughes, tongue in cheek, urged Ailin to leave together.

"No need to go back to the dormitory."

Vesemir stopped the four men.

"You are official demon hunters, you can choose a room in the main castle."

After a pause, he continued:
"If you don't have anything to take, you can come with me now."

Hughes and the others were stunned for a moment when they heard this, and then became excited.

Have your own room?

Yes, they are now official demon hunters and no longer need to share a big house with others.

For the first time, Hughes, Bunt and Fred had the feeling that "I really became a witcher."

Even though they had just attended a banquet that only witchers were allowed to enter, they did not have such a feeling.

In an instant, it was like a new life.

They subconsciously looked at Ailin.

It was this man who shared the killer whale potion with them, hunted down the little fog monster alone, and helped them pass the Killer Lake.

Afterwards, he led the old spearhead away for them and told them the character of the rock trolls in advance...

Although the results were not good...

But it was because of Ailin that they passed the mountain trial almost unscathed.

For a moment, Hughes, Bunt and Fred were overwhelmed with gratitude.

Ailin saw their expressions, smiled and patted the three of them on the shoulders, saying:

"Let's go, witcher."

"Let's go see our new home."

……

Kaermerhen is a castle.

Buildings like castles are generally used by nobles to guard territories, expand territory, and control places.

Its military defense function is greater than its residential function.

Therefore, every castle was built because the builder had an imaginary enemy in his mind.

Following Vesemir to his residence, Arlin glanced at the towering black walls around him, and a question suddenly popped up in his mind.

Who is the imaginary enemy of the founder of Kaermerhen?
Is it a monster?
Thinking of this, Ailin felt a little sad.

Even a strong fortress like the Ancient Sea Fortress was eventually destroyed in the Battle of Kaermohen.

Originally, he could still fool himself by saying that the world was different. After all, in this world, even the core prophecy that the ancient blood would save the world had been changed.

Moreover, the power of potions, sword oils, sigils and even characters are all different.

At least big characters like Vera and the Chief should be mentioned in the background of the game and the novel even if they are dead, but he has no impression of them at all. On the other hand, characters like Vesemir do exist, and he also saw some big characters from the game and the novel in the library.

This made Ailin feel that the history of the demon hunter world that he knew seemed to be in a state between reliable and unreliable.

Therefore, although Ailin was always cautious, he still had some hope in his heart.

The Defense of Kaermerhen might not even happen.

until……

The wizard of Ban Ade came with the king's order.

His curiosity about Kaermohen was beyond the duty of a king's messenger.

"So who are the enemies of the Wolf School?"

"Court wizard? Ban Ade Academy? The Wizard Council? The King of Kaedwen? The nobles of the northern kingdoms?"

"Or maybe there is more than just one enemy?"

Ailin sighed secretly.

It was this sense of crisis that the whole world was his enemy that made him do whatever it took, even if it meant lying, to alert the chief.

Ailin was afraid that one day he would wake up from his sleep and be faced with a fireball, and then Kaermohen would suddenly disappear.

“There is still too little information.”

Ailin sighed again, but immediately thought that his title of Demon Hunter Master was not far away.

With the title of master, your status in the school will be improved, and you will definitely gain more key intelligence.

At least it wouldn't be like the last time when Ailin reported to the chief, where he just output some false intelligence and didn't get any information from the chief.

"Okay, we're here."

Vesemir's voice interrupted Arryn's thoughts. He looked up, stunned for a moment, and asked:

"Ok?"

"Isn't this the west tower?"

Vesemir nodded and said:
"This is indeed the west tower."

After a pause, he looked a little strange, lowered his voice, and said:
"It was proposed by Ms. Vera. For some reasons, the Chief also agreed to let you live in the top floor of the tower, which was once the residence of the chief wizard of the school."

Ailin looked a little strange when he heard this.

If he remembered correctly, that should be where the story of The Witcher 3 began.

Vesemir saw that Arryn looked a little hesitant and thought he was worried about rumors, so he comforted him:

"With your talent and the title of Master Demon Hunter, you don't have to worry about anyone gossiping."

Ordinary witchers might not know this, but as a member of the Wolf School witcher master class, Vesemir felt that Alyn was qualified to live there just based on the killer whale potion alone.

What's more, there are Water Ghost Whistle and Ice Spear Curse.

The wizards of the school in the past were not so kind. They were only responsible for maintaining the apprentices' Trial of the Grass and would not develop suitable potions, props and sigils specifically for demon hunters.

Ailin nodded without explaining anything. After saying goodbye to Hughes and the others who looked reluctant, he stepped onto the stairs.

He was very familiar with this tower. It could even be said that, apart from the apprentice dormitory, this was the place where Arryn came most often.

The tower has three floors. The second floor is the alchemy room, and the third floor is Ailin's new home.

Considering that it was late at night, the Water Ghost King and Old Spearhead's heart essence had been waiting for him for quite some time.

Ailin did not stop in the alchemy room on the second floor, but went directly to the third floor.

"Squeak~"

The wooden door, exquisitely carved with various patterns, was opened.

"what!"

There was an exclamation.

The familiar layout of the room wasn't the reason for Aelin's shock.

What really surprised Ailin was the red crochet cashmere carpet that looked very valuable, the various silver-framed paintings hanging on the wall, the silk curtains fluttering in the wind, and...

The air was filled with the faint scent of orange mixed with the fragrance of cardamom.

Ailin stared blankly at everything he saw and muttered to himself:

"I... I won't be killed by the chief before the battle to destroy the Wolf School begins, right?"
