Geron Moreau returned to his father's laboratory and found Lane unconscious inside.

Just when Jielong had melted a passage out of the laboratory, he discovered that this secret laboratory was actually built under a fortress called "Heshan Castle".

He had been to this place before and had a drink with a captain named Augusto Ferrabras who was in the fortress at that time. Unfortunately, times have changed and now this place has been occupied by a group of bandits.

Although Jielong is over 200 years old, due to the imprisonment in the underground laboratory, his understanding of the outside world is still more than 140 years ago. He was surprised by the historical traces of Heshan Castle; when the robbers found Jielong, the vast amount of strange information in their words made Jielong even more terrified.

Jielong, who had just woken up, was fragile and sensitive. The strong emotional fluctuations awakened the power that had been dormant in his body for more than a hundred years, and some suppressed talents also appeared at this moment.

Frost, fire, storms, purple light beams, all forms of energy burst out from the man's body at the same time. It was a powerful force far beyond the power of a seal, but it did not require the use of spells like a warlock.

The robbers who spoke wildly and had bad intentions paid the price, and Jielong felt at a loss as to what to do with his changes.

At this moment, he missed his mentor, his companions, and his home very much - the headquarters of the Griffin School, Kael Siren Castle.

Then, a blue portal opened in front of him.

Jeroen Moreau was originally the son of a warlock, born with a talent for magic. In this world, the sons of warlocks often die young due to the powerful and uncontrollable magic power in their bodies, and the demon hunter mutation can suppress the mutant's magical talent. In a sense, it was because Jeroen became a demon hunter that he survived.

And now, this talent has awakened again. And it is controllable.

When Geron stepped through the portal, he arrived at Kel Siren, located in one of the most remote corners of the world.

In front of us are the ruins of a castle, which has been abandoned for a long time.

The Kael Sirens carried the golden age of the witchers. At that time, the witcher cult had just been disbanded, and the witchers were divided into six schools: cat, bear, wolf, snake, griffin, and manticore.

At that time, the cat-faction lunatics were still very restrained, and the demon hunters were still abiding by their original intentions. There were many of them, and they took commissions all over the continent, exorcised demons and punished evil, and supported the weak. It was also at that time that a large number of poems and legends with demon hunters as the theme emerged.

Among all the schools, the Griffin School is the most famous. Their founder, Elan, was a student of a knight nicknamed "Griffin" before he joined the witcher experiment. When he came to Kael Siren, he established the Griffin School named after his teacher and taught the Griffin School witchers to have chivalry and to value brotherhood. At the beginning, Elan even thought that the Griffin School's services would be free of charge.

"Face the evil that all the residents of the continent cannot face." This knight's motto became their doctrine.

The Griffin School led by Elan was widely praised and recognized by the common people, and gained the friendship of many nobles, which once established a good image for the witcher group. Unfortunately, this good reputation was eventually destroyed due to the slander of warlocks and the church and the crazy criticism of the evil deeds of the witchers.

In addition, the Griffin School is also extremely powerful, and some members can even kill a real dragon alone. There was also a rumor that the Griffin School got its name because it killed all the griffins in the Flying Dragon Mountains. Many kings, rebels, revolutionaries and other people tried to win over the Griffin School to gain political bargaining chips, but they were all rejected in the end.

Unfortunately, the Griffin School eventually declined. Because the Griffin School was best at sigils, and strong ones like Elan were even as good as the warlocks, which aroused the fear of the warlock group; and the founder Elan collected a large number of magic books and established a library in order to study spells, which aroused the greed and jealousy of more warlocks.

After the shameless warlocks asked the Griffin School to share their magic books for free and were rejected, they joined forces to destroy the Griffin School.

Every spring, the witchers would leave the castle to look for work, and in winter the castle would become their warm shelter. At this time, the warlocks triggered a terrifying avalanche, and the griffin witchers fought against the disaster together to protect their homes. In the end, almost all of them were buried, and only one person survived.

Nowadays, there are only a few scattered Griffin School demon hunters still roaming the mainland, and Geron Moreau is one of them.

Geron Moreau used his witcher senses to explore the ruins of Kael Sirens, and eventually pieced together the truth about the demise of the Griffin School. He wandered for a few days as a homeless man, and the Northern Kingdom's attitude towards witchers was no longer the same after hundreds of years of smear campaigns. This made Geron, who had been living in the golden age of witchers, feel at a loss and even decadent.

Finally, Jielong went back to Heshan Castle and the underground laboratory. He seemed to remember that someone had saved him, and he wanted to find his savior out of chivalry.

Then he found Lann lying unconscious and dying in the laboratory.

Seeing this, Jielong rushed forward to check on Lann. The young man in front of him was seriously injured and had already lost enough blood to kill an ordinary person.

But this was not even the important issue. The fatal point was the wound on his leg caused by the bite of the albino giant centipede, and the poison had not been cleared yet.

For demon hunters, they have strong immunity to toxins, and can drink detoxifying potions such as [Golden Oriole] to eliminate the damage of toxins to the body.

But for humans, no, the antidote is highly toxic to them.

For Yu Lanen, the poison of the albino giant centipede is unpredictable, and even the fact that he is still alive today is a "miracle" in itself.

"Miracle", these two words exploded in his mind like thunder.

In fact, there is another way to detoxify the albino giant centipede - that is to become a demon hunter.

The protein of the albino giant centipede itself is one of the raw materials for the witcher mutation researched by Thomas Moreau. Using toxins to destroy the body's immune system and then reshape it is also an important part of the witcher mutation.

In other words, injecting the poison of the albino giant centipede into the body is itself a process of mutation for the demon hunter. However, ordinary people will die after a few breaths of poisoning, and only demon hunter apprentices who have undergone preliminary body transformation can withstand it.

Jielong looked at the unconscious young man in front of him and murmured in a low voice: "How did you survive until now? No ordinary person can do it. Is it a miracle?"

At this time, he saw the young man's knight's attire again, which was tattered but vaguely recognizable.

"Or...is it fate?"

Could it be more coincidental than this? Now he might be the oldest or even the only remaining demon hunter of the Griffin School. After knowing that the school had disappeared, he met a young knight who was poisoned and had spontaneously undergone some demon hunter mutations in a sense.

The only way to save the young knight is to help him complete the witcher's mutation and transform the deadly toxin into a body-strengthening potion.

In Geron's opinion, there were no Griffin School demon hunters in the world, otherwise they would never allow Kelser to be abandoned. So at this time Geron thought that he had automatically become the mentor of the Griffin School and the final successor.

"This is fate," Geron said softly, "This is the 'Law of Surprise'. You saved me, unknown knight, and I can only repay you with something I clearly possess but don't even know it."

Geron picked up Lann who had fallen to the ground and laid him flat on the table.

Then he looked around the underground laboratory, disgust, fear, and hatred bursting out of his eyes. At this moment, he saw the body of Thomas Moreau that was smashed by Lan.

Even if it was broken into pieces and turned into ice by his previous [Alder Seal: Bone-piercing], Geron could still recognize it. He could still recognize it even if it turned into ash.

"Something I clearly possess but don't know it." Geron muttered to himself, "It's the future of the Griffin School that I just inherited, and everything about the Demon Hunter mutation in this laboratory."

"The Griffin School does not charge for rescue, and will only propose the 'Law of Surprise' for the continuation of the school. So after you wake up, you should repay me with something you have but don't even know it - the power you will gain, the power of a demon hunter, the power to continue the Griffin School."

Jielong said in a daze. He looked at Lan En, and there seemed to be several powerful forces gathering on the dying body of the young man in front of him. That was the power of the law of accident, the power of fate.

"You are my unexpected child, young stranger... No, you are the unexpected child of the Griffin School."

"I hope fate favors you."

Geron glanced around the laboratory. Every demon hunter was a knowledgeable scholar, especially those in the golden age. After successfully mutating and gaining a long lifespan, they would spend half of their lives in the school's headquarters to learn extensive knowledge, and then go down the mountain to carry out their mission with the permission of their mentor.

The Griffin School has the most magical knowledge, and Geron's knowledge reserves even surpass those of ordinary warlocks of this era. He can easily distinguish the various mutants in the laboratory, and can even refer to Thomas Moreau's notes and his own mutations to reverse the process of secondary mutations.

The traditional mutation formula of the Griffin School does not contain the protein of the albino giant centipede. This is Thomas Moreau's formula. Therefore, if you want to save Lann, it may not be enough to make him a simple Griffin School demon hunter.

However, the survival rate of two mutations in a short period of time is too low. It took Geron himself more than a hundred years of experiments to slowly become what he is today.

Geron stared at Lan and took a deep breath: "Unless I combine the 'Griffin School Mutation' and the 'Secondary Mutation'."
