Astartes of the Bear School

 Chapter 446 445.Hainkaweh

 “Okay, let’s get off the boat.”

 Lan En took the reins of Poppy in the crowd of people rushing to be the first, and shouted to the two people behind him.

He has never quite understood the thoughts of people who are rushing to squeeze out at this time.

Did they think that the barge shipping company would take them on another trip because they did not leave in time?

 After all the traders and tourists got off the boat, the three of them got off the boat each holding their horses.

 “That way is Toussaint, a vassal state of Nilfgaard, a country of knights and wine.”

As a half-native, Gede pointed towards the distance after slightly identifying the direction.

"It's a really nice place. The girls are beautiful and enthusiastic, and they don't have much ill will towards the witchers. The wine is boring but really delicious. During the grape-picking festival, the Grand Duchess of Toussaint will even do it herself. Jumping into a pool full of fresh grapes, she celebrated and danced, crushing the grapes with her feet."

"It's a pity. Although the Amer Mountains also extend within Toussaint, the location of our castle is not as good as a bird's shit. Bah."

　　When talking about Toussaint, Ged's eyes lit up. I just don’t know if this happiness is due to the environment in Toussaint or the girls and the Grand Duchess there.

But when he talked about the castle of the Bear School, Gede's expression suddenly changed, and he couldn't help but spit on the ground.

 It seems that he really hated the life in that castle.

 “It’s a pity indeed.” Lan En led Pope across Gede.

“But there are no things to do in this trip. If I have time later, I might come here to travel.”

 “You are the leader, you have the final say.”

 Gede shook his head indifferently and got on his horse.

 The two demon hunters walked towards the mountains first, leaving only Regis looking in the direction of Toussaint.

He didn't look much, but simply bowed in that direction using a etiquette that had never appeared among humans. The casual attitude is comparable to the tour group in Lan En's hometown world who raised their hands and made signs when they saw the temple.

  Immediately afterwards, Regis rode his horse to keep up with the pace of the two demon hunters.

As the leader, Gede has not returned for a long time to this mountain range where he once received training and received mutations.

But he still successfully found a place with gentle mountains as their entrance into the mountain.

Three people with extraordinary physiques simply bought two large bags of supplies in the village at the foot of the mountain and then started their march on the mountain road.

—

“I told you, my alchemy leather bag contains enough for us.”

While climbing the mountain, Lan En looked at the sack that had a small opening torn open by a branch, and complained expressionlessly.

“It’s enough to just put these in. There’s no need to pack them in several bags.”

As proof, he took out a piece of special rations from the alchemical leather bag on his waist, held it in his mouth and ate it while walking.

This is already the fifth piece he has eaten since he went up the mountain, and it seems that he must have a lot more in his bag.

Gede didn’t pay attention to Lan En’s complaints. He walked like an old farmer who was buying goods, holding the mouth of the sack on one shoulder.

 “Oh **** ho, typical city dweller speech.”

 He teased the young man. The Witcher's physical recovery speed allows him to joke even when climbing mountains while wearing heavy armor.

 “The situation in the mountains is very complicated, young man.”

“The woods are dense, and these are good sound-absorbing materials. If you add bushes, you can basically shout from 30 meters away without reaching another person’s ears.”

“If we get separated and lose our way, a bag per person can at least last us until we get down the mountain. Leave it all with you. If we get separated, we won’t have anything to eat.”

 Lan En opened his mouth, but no words came out.

 Gede’s consideration was very thorough and could not be mistaken. But he didn't know that Regis was not a wizard, but a high-level vampire. Strictly speaking, among the three people, he is the only one who needs to pay attention to the supply issue.

The Amer Mountains are very large. This mountain range spans the borders of many countries and is continuous.

 In such a large mountain range, it is normal to walk for several months.

Fortunately, Gede knew the way, but even so, he took Regis and Lan and walked left and right in the mountains for four days.

—

 “This is it.”

Gede, whose stubble had turned into a beard, exhaled a puff of thick white smoke due to the drastic temperature difference between the inside and outside of his body, and looked at the castle not far away with complicated eyes.

This is already a high-altitude area, and the snow does not melt all year round, and even accumulates thicker and thicker. The warm wind of spring cannot visit here at all.

“Hewn into the ice and rock of the Amer Mountains, hidden under the jagged cliffs and snow. This is the secret castle that the witchers of the Bear School keep silent about? Hainkaweh, the home of the bastards?”

Regis said with admiration and a little excitement. He clutched the strap of his shoulder bag and leaned forward, as if he couldn't wait to enter the long-abandoned fortress.

"It's not really a home. There should be family members at home, and family members should have feelings." Gede snorted coldly, "It's just a place to eat, live, and train. That's all. It has no other meaning."

"Okay, gentlemen. The debate can wait until later. Can we go over there first? At least find a fireplace inside to warm up?"

Lann had taken off his hood at this time. Although he was surrounded by white snow that reflected dazzlingly in the sun, his silver hair was still dazzling.

 But now, his expression is really not good-looking.

 “I can’t wait to put on dry clothes.”

The current temperature is minus 23 degrees Celsius, which does not pose a threat to an ordinary version of a witcher like Gerd.

 After all, this is where the Bear School trains.

　　Not to mention the current Lan En.

 Lan En’s body temperature has been far higher than that of ordinary people after the [Second Heart] was implanted. Now the efficient activity of the [Bone Strengthening Organ] has even driven up the metabolic rate of the entire body.

Mentos predicts that his normal body temperature will remain around 45 degrees Celsius until bone development is completed.

This kind of body temperature made him not feel uncomfortable at all against the cold at high altitudes, and even felt a little comfortable.

 But the temperature is pleasant, but the humidity is very unpleasant.

Ordinary people’s body temperature is sealed in their clothes, and ice and snow from the outside fall off after shaking off.

 But Lan En's body temperature was too high, which turned the snowflakes on his clothes into water and seeped into it.

In the past few days, he felt that his clothes were very damp, which reflected on his body and made him feel uncomfortable all the time.

 “Want to find a fireplace to warm up, right?”

Gede looked at the bear cub who had never been to this castle and smiled maliciously.

"That's a good idea, Lan. We can have a traditional Bear School movement."

 “Waitwhat?”

The young man looked at Gede in bewilderment, leading the way and walking towards the castle.
