Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 349 348. Can’t live without it

Lan has seen the scene where Henryk was rescued by a blood collection bottle.

Hence, he could quite understand Viola’s description of [blood therapy].

  —It is simply like injecting fresh vitality into a dilapidated human body!

 It is directly replenished and enhanced at the level of vitality. This sense of pleasure, satisfaction, and peace of mind should make people feel better than any addictive drug in the world.

And ordinary people still have the possibility to escape, but those foreigners who come to Yanan for the purpose of "fighting terminal illness and extending life".

 Even in order for their bodies to withstand the progression and erosion of the disease, they must continue to undergo [blood therapy].

 Then it would be even more impossible to leave Yanan.

 【Blood therapy】is a specialty of Yanan.

 Only in Yharnan can people obtain the sacred blood.

This city, and the people living in this city. Is their connection with [blood] too close?

 Lan En was chewing bread in his mouth, thinking non-stop in his mind.

 “Gascoyne.”

"Um?"

The priest had just removed a chicken leg from the plate in the center of the dining table and put it on his wife's plate. While dealing with the dissatisfaction of his two daughters, he turned his head in the direction of the guests.

Lan En pursed his lips and said thoughtfully.

"Yanan is indeed very strange. I have never seen a city like this, [blood therapy], [lycanthropy] or anything like that. But if these two strange things appear in the same city at the same time, is it possible? I mean there is impossible"

“The spread of lycanthropy depends on blood? Or at least, is there a connection between the two?”

[Blood] seems to have a certain degree of sanctity and religion in Yharnam, associating filthy lycanthropy with blood. Lan En's hypothesis is a bit risky in this city with a strong religious atmosphere.

 But fortunately, Gascoigne was a foreigner and was even a priest before coming to Yanan.

Viola was not a local who was prejudiced against outsiders, otherwise she would not have married Gascoigne.

 So Lan En's hypothesis didn't cause much trouble at the dinner table, it just made the couple laugh.

“In the early days of lycanthropy, this kind of doubt did exist for a while.”

Viola explained in a relatively nonchalant manner.

"But the feeling that [Blood Therapy] brings to people is something that everyone has experienced. There is no doubt about the sanctity of blood. And with the knowledge of [Blood Therapy], as the birthplace of [Blood Therapy], there has never been any internal feeling within the Healing Church. Some people have experienced lycanthropy. This is enough to prove that [blood therapy] has nothing to do with [lycanthropy]."

“If we have to say there is a connection, there is only one: [Blood Therapy] that is timely and powerful enough can cure [Beast Transformation].”

Lan En nodded silently, seeming to accept this statement.

 But in his heart, he just confirmed one thing: the influence of the Healing Church is deeply rooted in Yanan.

—

 After a hearty breakfast, Viola made the bed for Lan in the guest room.

 The clean and tidy spare bed does not smell musty, but has a reassuring smell of soap after cleaning.

Lan En was a little impressed by Viola's meticulousness and diligence in housework.

 Mentos knew exactly what his subject was thinking.

It immediately projects a picture on the retina.

Faced with housework, Margarita would most likely just throw away the money and buy a new set.

Want to see pictures of hardworking and virtuous people?

 Perhaps only Mentos can synthesize it for you.

Lan En’s eyes twitched, and then he pressed Mentos down.

Gascoigne followed Henryk's suggestion and prepared to go out to buy animal repelling incense.

This is a spice produced by Yanan to deal with lycanthropy patients. It can mask the smell of humans and make lycanthropic patients feel sick and stay away from the house.

During the hunting night last night, most of the residents who were broken down by the lycanthropic patients and dragged out and killed were those who did not have enough incense.

This thing is not cheap and is a monopoly of the Healing Church. Fortunately, hunters are a high-income group in Yanam, so it is not difficult for Gascoigne’s family to afford them.

“Please look after the house for me, Lan. Just like we agreed.”

At the door, the priest, who had put on his washed coat again, spoke to Lan En in the door.

"I have known Henrik for a long time, but I have never seen him as panicked as he was last night. He is a very good hunter, and even because he is so good at dealing with wild animals, many of us think that he will not be able to get a The death of the hunter. But it was his mistake last night."

Lane was wearing Gascoigne’s old shirt and stood leaning against the doorframe with his chest folded.

 The priest's words made him slightly silent.

Thinking about it from his perspective, he couldn't imagine that if Vesemir was in Henryk's state last night, he would have noticed something terrible.

 “Don’t worry, go shopping, I’ll be here to watch.”

Lan En agreed firmly at first.

“But when you come back, I may leave Yharnam.”

"Oh?" Gascoigne asked strangely, "You don't want to treat the disease anymore? Even if the factor of [blood therapy] is excluded, Yanan's medical level is among the best in the world."

“It’s not cured. The cat eyes are actually just an awkward appearance and don’t make me uncomfortable. Compared to improving the appearance, I am still more worried about Yanan.”

Gascoigne was silent for a moment, then chuckled.

“Ah, it’s not bad to leave when you don’t have deep contact with Yanan. It can even be said to be a wise decision. You are luckier than most foreigners who come here. At least you have a choice.”

“The incidence of lycanthropy is increasing. Ordinary residents don’t know it, but hunters can feel it. The situation is getting worse.”

“More and more bodies are pulled out after hunting nights, and hunting nights are held more and more frequently. The atmosphere in the city is becoming neurotic.”

 When Gascoigne said this, he deliberately lowered his voice.

His low and hoarse voice was like talking in a dream at this moment, and the spread of the sound was limited to him and Lan En.

"Since you have noticed the change in the situation," Lan En also lowered his voice, "In my opinion, you should take your family and leave here, far away."

Gascoigne was silent at first, then smiled silently, raised his wide-brimmed hat and looked into the room.

Lann still doesn’t know why his bandaged eyes can get a lot of visual information, but he does have the power of observation.

In this medium-sized house, Viola was happily cleaning the furniture. One of the two little girls was playing with toys and the other was holding a book.

The sunlight passes through the window, and the dust floating in the light beam does not appear dirty at this moment, but makes people feel wonderfully warm.

 “I can’t leave.”

Outside the room, Gascoigne said calmly and repeated it.

"I can't leave. The people of Yharnam can't live without Yharnam, and I can't live without Viola and the children. So I can't leave. I can't leave and I don't want to leave. That's it."

“Understood.” Lan En nodded calmly, “Then... I wish you good luck, Gascoigne.”

“I also wish you a safe journey in advance, Lan En. I won’t be out for too long and will be back around noon. I hope it won’t delay your schedule by then.”

"There is no need to delay. I will help you keep an eye on them before you come back."

 Lan En said decisively.

 “Then, thank you.”
