Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1394 1366. Be cautious

The set of tomes obtained from Phylicia were alchemical books written by Herbert Stanmerford.

This warlock was one of the first members of the Warlock Council of mankind and made groundbreaking progress in the field of alchemy.

Although a technology should always become stronger and more perfect as it develops over time.

But because this is a world with extraordinary power, it is not only not uncommon for a gifted warlock to work alone in his field to a level that transcends his time, it is even quite reasonable.

So even now, the knowledge in this book is still considered profound.

This is also one of the few alchemy books that Lan En has not studied in Aretuza's library.

Learn and expand biology in [Memory Diving] and your own practice across the world, and learn alchemy in books.

These two items are the pillars of Lane's academic system.

And he is still working towards a higher level.

To be honest, even this set of "Stemmerford, Supplement on Alchemy" is only used as a reference material for him, and it can't even be called a 'guidance'.

Like every scholar who has studied to a high level in his or her own field, he is about to reach a place that no one has ever reached before.

There is no guidance or planning ahead, it’s all up to you to explore on your own.

After thanking Felicia again, Lan En waved his hand and walked out with Maria.

"Are you doing human experiments here too?" Maria asked in a cold and calm voice. "In the laboratory just now, I saw a lot of organs."

In the busy corridor of the sorceress apprentices, just as Lan En thought, Maria, who was wearing a hunter's trench coat of Yharnam and carrying the cold and noble air of a noble of the blood of Cainhurst, attracted many people. Watch with interest.

But over the past few days, she seemed to have gotten used to it a lot.

"Does this make you feel uncomfortable?" Lan En looked down at Maria.

The gray blood disease research hall in Old Yharnam, and the patients she has been taking care of there, are almost Maria's nightmare.

"No, I'm not that superficial."

The huntress gently pressed her three-cornered hat and shook her head.

"Although I have clearly seen the true face of the Healing Church, the cruel reality that cannot be denied is that the progress of medicine and life sciences depends on countless sacrifices. It's just that"

"Sacrifice itself is noble, but it is still divided into active and passive. Among passivity, it is divided into deserved, accidental and innocent."

"Only this." Lan En smiled at Maria, "Don't you trust me?"

The blood noble of Yharnam gracefully raised the brim of his hat with two fingers, looked at the witcher's smile, and after a moment of silence, he lowered his head and took a deep breath.

"No, just pretend that I'm sensitive."

—

After a few days of processing, things in Aretusa have been almost settled, and now it is the day that Lan En and several other people have made an appointment to go to Fort Gaoqiu.

In the past few days, Maria and Adeline have completed a complete replacement of the blood in their bodies through [Big Eater Vitality].

The replaced blood was collected, and under Lan En's supervision, it was burned up by [Combat Skill: Remaining Fire].

Yanan is not a place that is too obsessed with food and wine. The experience of spending most of their time eating these past few days has even made Adeline and Maria a little bit anorexic.

Fortunately, [Big Eater Vitality] also greatly improves the conversion efficiency of food nutrition, otherwise they would probably start to hate the toilet by the way.

"We'll meet outside the city."

Walking out of the main entrance of Xenide Island, where Aretusa is located, Lan explained to the two ladies beside him.

"Don't be afraid, Adeline. Berengar will take you. Besides, Gos Velen is really not that big or complicated compared to Yanan."

"Even if you want to get lost, it will be difficult. Caddo Street is a straight line connecting to the city gate."

After all, Qilin's figure is still too eye-catching. Although Lan En can already use this cloak to hide his identity, Qilin does not have this treatment.

Maria was as calm as ever. Under the sunlight, the brim of her tricorn hat cast a soft shadow on her delicate pale cheeks.

Adeline held up the hem of her skirt curiously and looked at the lively motorcade that was still extending from the main entrance of Arethusa.

For this highest-level wizard gathering, the college still purchases large quantities of things from time to time, and trucks come and go again and again.

For people living in Yanan, this "ancient and fresh" scene is indeed enough to make people curious.

In contrast, Adeline and Maria were watched curiously by people because of their strange clothing and temperament in this era.

It's just that because he came from the Sorceress Academy, everyone didn't think there was anything wrong with this kind of 'strangeness'.

"Are we going to ride a horse?"

Seeing Lan En leading two horses over, Adeline asked curiously.

Maria had already skillfully held the reins of a horse.

"The roads there are not easy to travel, and carriages are not available. You should be able to ride a horse, right?"

Lan En explained, and at the same time received a nod from the Blood Saint, and handed over the reins of the other horse.

Coincidentally, Belengar also came here along Caddo Street at the appointed time. Gede, a tall man with a beard and stubble on his face, followed him.

The set of advanced wolf school armor that the old demon hunter had made for himself was quite obvious on the street of Gos Velen.

He rarely holds a sword now, and this set of armor is purely for collection.

Part of the reason for meeting outside the city was for Geralt's sake.

Since you want to hide, it's best to avoid showing up in crowded places.

Maria and Adeline had already had a meal together at a private gathering of demon hunters before, so there was no need to introduce each other. By the way, because the [Big Eater Vitality] medicine had not yet worn off at that time, Gede was impressed by the appetite of the two ladies.

I thought they Yannan people especially like to eat.

He admired this generous appetite and said he wanted to give them some dried salted fish, a specialty of his hometown Arc Coast Principality.

Living in Yanan, which is always gloomy and indifferent, the two ladies who couldn't cope with this enthusiasm muddleheadedly accepted it, and they still haven't found a chance to explain to Gede what happened to their appetite.

After a brief greeting, Berengar took the two Yanan ladies and walked out of the city, while he wanted to lead the Bo faction. This was already discussed.

And looked at the backs of the three people holding two horses, walking straight along Caddo Street.

Lan En stretched out his hand to shoo away the flies and gadflies that were still full of energy even though it was already autumn due to the livestock convoy.

"Is there anything unusual in the workshop area?"

Two Bear Schools stood here, Lan En tilted his head to the side and asked.

Gede shrugged: "It's no problem. Didn't you ask me this during dinner a few days ago?"

"I'm urging you to be careful. After all, Belengar and Geralt are not here during this time, and neither am I."

"But this is Gos Velen." Gede scratched his chin. The seaside man looked at the man next to him with doubts. "The base camp of the sorceress. The workshop is the business of the sorceress."

"Who can carry a barrel of kerosene and burn it with a torch?"

"Are you a little nervous?" At first, Gede was a little unconcerned, but then he looked at Lan En seriously, "Or did you hear something?"

Lan En shook his head: "There have always been rumors, but it's hard to tell whether it's true or false. Now I just have a feeling that it's not peaceful recently."

"Feeling? This is not clear. But I will be cautious."

The strong man with his sides shaved and his hair tied into neat braids nodded, smiled and stretched out his hand, patting the two half-swords behind his back.

It was a Valyrian steel sword cast by Berengar based on the Bear School's drawings. The silver sword was only plated with silver on the outside.

These two swords were carried by Lan En all the way into Cintra, which was destroyed by the war, and were handed over to Gede.

They have already been friends for a long time.

Gede will take Lan En's words seriously. Lan En also fully believed in Gerd's promise.

After all, he trapped himself in Cintra just to deliver Lan En's letter.

"I am earning this money now, so I must use it to do things." Gede scratched his stubbled neck and said matter-of-factly. "I don't want to lose this job."

Lan En glanced at him sideways: "Then I think in order to keep this job, you still have to do some work outside from time to time. You've already gained a lot of weight."

The roaring bear head pendant on the collar of the armor shook and clattered, and Gede kept scratching his head in embarrassment.

After teasing his old friend for his recent desolation, Lan En also took steps and walked towards the outside of the city with his head lowered.

There were no setbacks. Qilin, who had put on the magic harness again after half a year, snorted frequently and shook his head and kicked his legs a little unhappily.

It's like being disgusted with the clothes that don't fit, but in fact it's just a matter of fun.

The Sanhua kitten was jumping and meowing on Qilin's back as if playing.

Qilin kicks its legs and jumps from its **** to its head, and shakes its head and jumps from its head to its butt.

"Meow? Oh, the boss is here, meow!"

Berengar mounted the Pope, and although the two Yharnan ladies were not skilled, they were able to sit firmly on the horse.

Geralt was riding a chestnut mare that he had seen for the first time.

"Let me guess, it's called Carrot?"

After the meeting, 'Bang Bang' punched two punches to modify Qilin's personality. After getting on his horse, Lan raised his eyebrows at Geralt.

But the demon hunter from the Wolf School only echoed without enthusiasm: "You are truly a prophet of the future."

Although he knew to keep his composure due to Lan En's analysis, Geralt's nerves were still tense as Ciri was being traced.

The reason he could respond to this cold joke was because he was relatively relaxed around Lan En and Berengar.

During this period of time, he would not even be able to smile no matter what.

Lan En also knew that comfort was of little significance, so he just nodded to the others and led the way through the swamps and wilderness of Willen.

The moisture of the swamp and the sea, the strong smell of earth and grass, mix with the wind blowing from the sea.

The wind blew the ancient towering trees on the shore of Willen. There was no cloud or rain, and the vigorous vegetation showed bright colors with high contrast in the sun.

Of course, the howling of wolves in the wild and the barking of wild dogs are indispensable in Willen.

The situation today is tense, but in this wilderness and swamp, it seems completely isolated and unaffected.

Even Geralt, who was in the heaviest mood, seemed to relax a little while galloping.

But after riding for most of the day, they finally reached the foot of the mountain near Gaoqiu Castle.

The pace had been relaxed, like a walking unicorn, but at Lan En's signal, it slowed down and finally stopped completely.

The relaxed and smiling expression of the leading young demon hunter gradually disappeared, and his amber cat eyes looked at the ground.
