Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 677 679. Psychological satisfaction

 “These little guys are Elu cats, a breed of orcs who live in peace with humans and are hardworking and kind.”

The commander-in-chief looked at Lan En, who was sitting opposite him, with burning eyes. He seemed to be aware of his focus, so he started to introduce him.

“And Garfield is a hunting cat in the tribe who is curious and interested in hunting activities, and has made contracts with excellent hunters to assist the hunters in fighting while increasing their own abilities.”

At this time, the big ginger-orange cat was nibbling on a grilled fish on a wooden stick next to Wende.

　　It stands to reason that cats’ tongues should be very afraid of burning, but Ellu cats seem to have an advantage over cats in this regard.

“Then are the body size differences within their groups so large?”

 Lan En pointed at the head chef.

 The Commander-in-Chief's expression froze, then he shook his head and quickly changed the topic.

“Ahem! I had some doubts at first, but seeing that you haven’t even seen Elu Cat, there is only one possibility.”

 “Are you from another world, Lan En?”

　　Although there was doubt, the Commander-in-Chief’s expression was unquestionably determined.

“For this new continent, we should all be considered people from another world, right?”

Lan En said lightly as he picked up a large, rough wooden cup and took a sip of beer.

 “There’s no point in playing with words.”

Lan En’s hand holding the big wooden cup paused, looking at the Commander-in-Chief’s determined eyes, he smiled and nodded.

"That seems to be the case. I am from another world. What then? You don't seem to be prepared to take care of me or do anything else."

“You made a mistake.” The commander-in-chief got the answer, seemed to relax a little, and picked up the wine glass.

"It's not that we haven't seen people from other worlds, and we have no hostility towards people from other worlds. On the contrary, I don't understand why you wanted to do something just now."

“Aren’t you afraid that I am an outpost of some kind of invasion?”

"We have no hostility, but this does not mean that we have no will to resist. If we are friends, then people from other worlds can also be friends. If there are people with evil intentions who try to destroy or invade nature, then neither we nor nature will be harmed. I will agree. Let’s talk more.”

The commander-in-chief looked at Lan En and shook his head.

“If it’s an outpost, it should at least be concealed from others, right? With all due respect to you, let’s forget it.”

"In short, the stars welcome all intelligent creatures who are interested in exploring and protecting this nature. Although I don't know why, you are full of wariness, but I will still say this."

 The commander-in-chief stood up with a big wooden cup in his hands, and little Jack followed behind him. Wind, April, and Garfield were dragged over to play by other members of the fifth phase group.

The Commander-in-Chief raised the wine glass in his hand towards Lan En, then drank it all in one gulp.

“According to our previous experience of meeting people from other worlds, you will always stay here for a while and then disappear naturally.”

"If you are still wary and want to leave during your stay, we will not stop you. But out of humanitarian concepts, we will prepare survival equipment for you in the wild. If you encounter our people in the wild, You can also ask them for help.”

 “And if you want to move within the Star Stronghold.”

The commander-in-chief stood up slowly as he spoke. Before he finished speaking, he walked to the ropeway on the side, stepped on the steel rope, and landed downwards.

At this lively banquet, only Lan En and the old man wearing full body armor were left at this table.

People here call him ‘Sword Master’, but no one calls him by his name.

His face under the armor has a very ordinary appearance, but when his eyes drift over the herbivorous dragon in the oven, the angle always makes people feel very sharp.

  ".Is life difficult in another world?"

 The two of them were sitting at opposite corners of a table, drinking over and over again. The swordsman master suddenly spoke.

 Lan En's expression did not change.

"Why do you say that?"

 “Because of your performance.”

 “How am I doing?”

 “It’s like” The swordsman took a sip of beer, as if he was organizing his words.

“It’s like a young predator that experienced a fierce battle just after being driven out of its parents’ nest, and then discovered the enemy again before it could heal its wounds.”

 “Every nerve in your body is tense now.”

“Considering that you are so nervous when facing us in the stronghold, does it mean that your opponents in the last ‘fierce battle’ were also humans?”

 At this point, the swordsman master sighed and looked at Lan En with a pitiful expression.

“Most of the world is like this, with humans fighting each other. On the contrary, you make me feel abnormal.”

Lan En lowered his eyes and put down his wine glass.

“If we just talk about the difficulty of survival, I think it should be harder for us than many other worlds.”

 The swordsman master said softly.

"Powerful monsters emerge one after another, surviving and multiplying in the vast world. The Barbarian jaw dragon you met was marked as a four-star on the hunting mission. If you only collect ecological information, the mission level is only three stars. And ours The mission difficulty system, the highest is nine stars."     One weighs dozens of tons, is extremely ferocious, and its muscles are so strong that it can even jump with its feet off the ground without any pressure.

Even the temperature of the Mars ejected from the nose is so high that it can directly scorch a small area of ​​land.

A monster of this level, in the magical Middle Ages, would have cost hundreds of tin cans, and it would have been possible to kill it only by equipping it with war-grade siege crossbows, magic chains, enchanted axes, and enchanted warhammers.

  Or dozens of warriors paired with a somewhat competent warlock.

 This has to be a human attack on the monster, instead of being attacked by a monster like Lan En at that time.

 But in this world, in this magical nature, the Barbarignathus is just a low-level hunting target.

“A large number of powerful monsters, as well as an unexplainable creature above all monsters’ ecological niche—the ancient dragon species.”

“Some of them can ignite endless fires along the way, or set off violent storms that can change the landscape just by passing by. The Lava Dragon you see is also one of them.”

 “Life is hard”

The swordsman master sighed, his tone a little heavy.

 But after picking up the glass and taking a sip, while exhaling the gas in the beer happily, it seemed that even that little heaviness was left behind.

“However, as long as we unite as one, explore the laws of nature, and respect the natural ecology, nothing can make us fail! Haha!”

“I dare not say that all humans in our world think so, but in the stars! In the New World Survey Team! Everyone here thinks so!”

“It would be too sad if even human beings had to fight each other, right?”

 After the swordsman finished drinking, he also walked away.

Lan En propped his head on the table and traced circles along the rim of the wine glass with his fingers.

In other words, although the humans here are struggling to survive on the material level, they are spiritually full of satisfaction.

 Working hard in nature, trusting each other among companions, exploring the laws of nature, and working purely and cleanly for everyone's survival.

 The purpose is the survival and continuation of individuals and races in nature. There is no more noble and pure goal than this.

“Isn’t this really the healthiest mental state for human beings?”

Lan En muttered.

 Among all the people present at the banquet, Lan En should be the tallest and strongest one.

 But this is just a physical state. In terms of psychological state, Lan En feels that he is probably the one with the most problem among this group of people.

 There is nothing to think about.

 “I’ll go down first!”

Lan stood up and waved in the direction of April and Wind. The two of them responded with grins and grins at him while holding wine glasses.

The demon hunter chuckled, they are really a bunch of optimists who are hard to hate.

 He also descended from the cableway and reached the material circulation area on the first floor.

This is also the place where the commander-in-chief holds combat meetings and works normally.

There is no doubt that this black-faced old man is still working. And he didn't seem surprised by Lan En's visit.

"It seems you have made a decision?" He said without raising his head, while he kept writing and drawing on his hands.

“What else can we do?” Lan En crossed his arms on his chest and leaned against the railing with his back and said with a smile.

“If you want to stay in Xingchen, we don’t have a place to eat.”

"Well, this is indeed a problem. But I also make a living by hunting monsters over there. I should be able to find a job in the stars?"

 Lan En said with a little distress.

Before he could finish speaking, a coat of arms flew towards him, and Lan En raised his hand to catch it easily.

 Looking down, I saw that the mark on the coat of arms was an abstract white wind.

“The fifth group special recruits hunters. What do you think of this title, alien?”

 This mark has also appeared on April and Wende, and it should be the logo of the fifth phase of the group.

 Lan En hung the coat of arms on his belt and patted it with a smile.

"sounds good."

“So.” The commander-in-chief finally raised his head from the drawing and looked at Lan En seriously.

 “May the blue star guide you, Lan En.”

"From tomorrow onwards, I will treat you the same as the fifth group and issue tasks."
