"Geralt, how come this emblem...is exactly the same shape as the pendant around your neck??"

Seeing this, Gu Xiaoheng immediately entered actor mode and began to tentatively advance the plot.

After hearing his words, Geralt himself lowered his eyebrows slightly and stared at the emblem of the Wolf School on the stone wall, lost in thought.

A few seconds passed, and just when Gu Xiaoheng began to wonder if his acting skills just now were a bit too strong, Geralt finally sighed.

"You two, I think fate is so wonderful that we can get together today and then enter this cave and find this stone wall."

In order to cater to Geralt's sigh, Gu Xiaoheng made the right expression at this moment: "I don't understand what you are talking about, but I am just curious anyway."

As for Maeve on the side, it was easier. Ever since she met Geralt, she had always maintained the cold face of an iceberg beauty, and never said a word of unnecessary nonsense outside of battle.

"Geralt, does this stone wall have something to do with you? But if this is your secret, there is no need to tell us. After all, everyone has a secret."

After smiling with a feigned cheerful expression, Gu Xiaoheng also pointedly shook the Frostmourne in his hand.

With the excellent perception of Geralt, a master swordsman and legendary demon hunter, he did not believe that Geralt could not see that the reason why he could cast undead spells with a pure human body was entirely due to the undead spell of Frostmourne.

Given by the legendary sword.

Compared to those death mages in the Warhammer Empire who more or less have to lich their bodies in order to release necromancy, it has to be said that he himself is an alien full of magical secrets.

The rhetoric and hints he deliberately used must have been deeply experienced by Geralt, who was also regarded as "a monster catalyzed by the warlocks' taboo mutation experiments - the demon hunter", so it was naturally easy for him to believe his rhetoric.

As expected, after nodding empathetically, Geralt himself took the lead in opening up the conversation, telling the "completely unaware" Gu Xiaoheng and the two about this hidden history about the ancestors of the Wolf School.

As he spoke, the panel of the god-level prompt system faithfully recorded everything Geralt said.

There were even many details that Geralt himself didn't mention, and the system helped to complete them one by one. This hidden history was so exciting that even Gu Xiaoheng, who didn't know about this past in advance, was amazed.

.....

【Hidden History·Clue 1】

The Wolf School, which is now sparsely populated, once had a glorious past.

Just as the sun, no matter how dazzling, will eventually fade away, the demon hunters of the Wolf School who once united and loved each other and followed the path of neutrality also encountered disaster in their fate.

A team of mobs with great malice towards witchers invaded Kaer Morhen Castle, the common home of witchers of the Wolf School. Facing an enemy that far outnumbered themselves, there were only a few dozen people.

The remaining troops were outnumbered...

Kaer Morhen Castle in its heyday was burned to the ground, and what was presented to the other Wolf School witchers who rushed back home after hearing the news along with the ruins were the corpses of all the remaining companions, the tomes in the castle, and the remains of the alchemy formulas after they were burned.

A place of ashes.

However, it seems that there was also a survivor of that disaster who was seriously injured and escaped - the ancestral demon hunter mentor who later fled to his birthplace of Black Rock Town.

Pursuing the last treasure that he desperately wanted to leave to the school is an important task entrusted to the white wolf Geralt by Vesemir, the current mentor of the Wolf School.

Important note: Since the secrets of the Wolf School are only open to our own people, how to open the stone wall with the emblem of the Wolf School?

——————

Seeing the last prompt given by the system, a black line brushed across Gu Xiaoheng's forehead.

System, what's wrong with you, learning to be the Riddler? Come on, let me add a BUFF to you!

After expressing his dissatisfaction with the system, Gu Xiaoheng, who guessed what the system prompt said, then looked at the pendant of the Wolf School badge worn around Geralt's neck.

"Geralt, maybe you can try placing the emblem of the Wolf School in front of the stone wall. Maybe you can open the stone wall!"

After listening to Gu Xiaoheng's suggestion, the demon hunter immediately stopped using the Alder Seal to knock down the stone wall.

After tentatively taking off the Wolf School emblem pendant from his neck and placing it close to the stone wall, a magical scene happened.

The stone wall that originally seemed to have no gaps suddenly opened up from the center out of thin air, a door that is as high as two people and as wide as three people.

After leading the horse inside, the space inside suddenly opened up, almost as big as an ordinary medium-sized banquet hall that can accommodate more than ten people to dine together!

With the help of candlelight, Gu Xiaoheng and Maeve could see clearly that in the wide space behind the door, there was only a small wooden box placed in the center. As for the direction corresponding to the door when they came, there was also a clearly visible portal.

I guess this is where the exit passage is.

"Roar!!"

While everyone was busy watching everything around them, several beastly roars mixed with eagerness and anger suddenly came from the road they came from.

After confirming that the stone wall behind the closed door was definitely strong enough to withstand the attack of wild beasts for a long time, Gu Xiaoheng and Geralt came to the small wooden box.

"There is the emblem of the Wolf School on the box! Sure enough, the ancestors must have taken the opportunity to rescue some of the school's treasures before the castle was destroyed and brought them here with them."

With a tone of joy, Geralt stepped forward and opened the box at the speed of light after confirming that there were no traces of traps.

Oops——

Maeve, who was also a bystander, heard Gu Xiaoheng exhale heavily from the nose the moment the wooden box was opened.

"A book, and an ordinary ring forged in the blacksmith's furnace of Kaer Morhen Castle?"

Seeing that these two things were placed in the huge wooden box, Geralt's voice showed a very clear look of disappointment.

As Gu Xiaoheng pretended to be surprised, the demon hunter placed the ring in his hand.

"Geralt, what are you doing?"

After shaking his head with a chuckle, Geralt seemed to know in advance that Gu Xiaoheng would decline and explained:

"No need to worry, this is just an extremely ordinary ring forged in the blacksmith's furnace of Kaer Morhen Castle. Compared with this "Demon Hunting Notebook" which records countless hidden monsters, this ring is more suitable as a souvenir.

It’s nothing.”

An ordinary ring...? Well, for me at this stage, this mithril-level ring is not ordinary at all!

Looking down at the ring in his hand, Gu Xiaoheng smiled happily.

[Demon Hunter’s Standard Ring]

Category: silver mithril jewelry

Wearing requirement level: Level 5

Equipment special effects: Strength +2, Spirit +1

Skill list:

1. "Brave and Fearless": When resisting charm and illusion skills, toughness +15% (reduces the control time)

2. "Rapid Awakening": When activating the skill, the wearer can remove all control effects and be immune to the effects of all control effects within 1.5 seconds. When the skill is in effect, the wearer can obtain a 15% acceleration effect.

Cooling time: 6 hours to add a layer of charging effect, which can accumulate up to three charging times.

Current remaining charge usage times: 1/3

——————

This witcher standard ring can be used every 6 hours.

It provides up to three equipment skills for removing control effects. This alone can be called the best among melee professional accessories for beginners!

With such equipment, even if you are a player with mediocre tank skills, there are probably countless powerful guilds who want to recruit you.

Even if it is purely used, this piece of equipment that provides removal of control effects is a hot commodity in the tank free agent market!

Not to mention, this piece of equipment fell into the hands of Gu Xiaoheng at this moment. As a mid-level melee swordsman who is extremely afraid of control, having three opportunities to remove control is almost three opportunities to resist in a desperate situation.

Such an important piece of equipment could only cause a huge wave in the Black Rock Town player forum in its previous life.

As for the "Demon Hunting Notebook" with simple packaging in Geralt's hand, it is an ordinary mission prop and has no effect on the player. Except for the witchers of the Wolf School who treat it as a treasure, no one

Other forces are willing to take one more look at it...

At this point, Gu Xiaoheng has made a lot of money.

Geralt, who was on the side, also put his demon hunting notes into the luggage of his war horse mount "Carrot" and was ready to leave.

When the witcher took off the witcher emblem from his neck again and was about to open another exit passage that was not surrounded by the beast army, he found that Gu Xiaoheng's eyes were fixed on the wall on the left, motionless and seemed fascinated.

"Eternity, what's going on? What are you looking at?....Oh my god, be careful!"

In the confused eyes of Geralt and Maeve, Gu Xiaoheng slashed several swords at the earthen wall on the left half.

He drew his sword so fast that Geralt and Maeve, who had lowered their guard, had no time to react.

As the earthen wall on the left suddenly collapsed with a "bang", Gu Xiaoheng, who was standing at the old site of the wall, fell first.

Behind the earth wall, there is actually a pool of turquoise potion water!

The moment his whole body was completely immersed in the pool water, a purple prompt that the system marked on the stone wall on the left flashed in Gu Xiaoheng's mind as soon as he entered this treasure place.

[Ding! Behind the earth wall, there is the biggest secret hidden here by the ancestors of demon hunter mentors - Trial of Green Grass·Special Type! 】

Who can tell him why the potion pool water for the Green Grass Trial was hidden directly behind the earth wall?
