Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 795 777. Journey

 “You seem curious, man.”

Lan looked down sideways, and Berengar's eyes couldn't stop glancing at the Qilin under his crotch.

He was already two heads taller than Berengar, and now Qilin is much taller than Poppy.

　　This made the originally tall demon hunter look like a dwarf acrobat riding a pony next to him.

 “I can’t help but be curious.” Berengar said simply.

 During a long journey, you always have to chat to pass the boring time.

“Poppa’s bloodline and skeleton are already considered a good warhorse. Where did you get a monster of this size?”

Berengar was very sure that no normal horse could grow to this size, be equipped with a suit of armor, carry a man weighing more than 300 kilograms, and have the ability to jump directly up from the earth platform more than one meter high.

 He has already assumed that the 'horse' wearing a wrapping cloth is a monster.

 “The other world I experienced last time was magical”

 “Meritelli, this is such a good horse!”

Even though Berengar has retired for a long time, this love still exists.

Qilin has been learning very quickly recently. It turned its head politely, faced Berengar with its face, and nodded slightly.

 So he was sure that if this kind of monster was ever discovered by a witcher, the witcher would definitely record it even if it was just a hobby.

“There is no such thing as tameness. Qilin’s intelligence is beyond the average level of human beings. We are cooperative friends.”

At this time, Lan En leaned down and lifted up the drapey rune cloth covering the side of Qilin's face.

With its hard scales and fiery red body color, it is as powerful as a king when it soars in the sky.

“So you’re saying that the dragon that can shoot out fireballs that are stronger than a wizard’s spells from its mouth is really a naturally occurring species?”

 “Then I am so old-sighted that I compared a ‘Holy Spirit’ to a beast.”

On the road, Lan talked with Berengar about his experience in the monster world.

 Then the feline-like face appeared in front of Berengar.

  Apart from other abilities, at least Berengar is very confident in the aspect of "knowing current affairs".

Berengar marveled.

Lan En quickly patted its neck and finally smoothed its fur.

"Wow." Berengar licked his lips with his tongue, and looked back at the small patch of ground that was scorched by the sparks when Qilin got a little angry.

Then they were surprised to find that the creature that Berengar saw that broke into the place due to the intersection of the celestial spheres was probably a male fire dragon.

With a 'whisper', Qilin immediately changed his previous good attitude toward Berengar, snorted and turned his head.

Although the rune cloth has only been lifted up a corner, the Kirin's mane, coat, and muscle outline can already leave a deep impression on the eyes of an expert.

 What made him curious was that he had never heard of or seen such a monster.

  Because the professional risks of the witcher are too high, they naturally like sophisticated weapons, armor, and war horses.

 “How did you tame it?”

Berengar looked strange.

 “What the **** is that in the natural world?”

“And the common male fire dragon you met is only in the middle of the natural ecological niche there.”

Lan En reminded him kindly on Qilin's back, and the corner of Berengar's mouth twitched even more seriously. “Okay, I somewhat understand the need for you to ask others to speed up the improvement of [Turbidity Current].”

“Ordinary weapons are not designed to deal with that kind of thing.”

 The two of them just chatted while walking on the muddy and wet path of Willen.

Willen still looks gloomy and desolate.

Even the vigorous new leaves on the branches look a gloomy dark green.

Tall trees towered into the gloomy sky, and crows or other birds flapped their wings in the forest, accompanied by the howling of wolves and the barking of wild dogs.

Ordinary people can't survive in the wilds of Velen for more than half a day, and there will only be a chewed corpse left.

  But for the two witchers, this is a very common scene.

 They run in parallel at an unhurried pace.

This speed is mainly limited by Poppai's physical strength. Otherwise, with Kirin's speed and physical strength, even if Lan En cannot activate [Lightning Flash] on its back, it can move forward at lightning speed.

According to Berengar, Kaer Morhen is located in the northeast of Kaedwen, in the Blue Mountains, above the Gwenrich River. is exactly what it sounds like: the edge of the civilized world.

 It was a large castle that had long been abandoned.

The reason for its abandonment is that humans gradually showed a tendency to live in towns at that time, so the population gathered towards the several existing large cities in Kaedwen.

  Without the surrounding human villages to provide supplies, the castle no longer needed to protect the villages, so it was gradually abandoned.

Later, there is the story of how the witcher rebuilt this place as the headquarters of the witcher order several centuries ago.

The two of them were talking together, and Lan En was telling Berengar about the several worlds he had experienced.

 He had not told anyone this information in detail before, and Margarita and Tisaya would only be more worried about him in these stories.

But Berengar, who is also a demon hunter, can calmly listen to these dangers that have passed.

　　is a good person to talk to.

Berengar also introduced things to Lan En about Kaedwen and Kaer Morhen.

It is strange to say that although the young demon hunter has traveled to and from several strange worlds through the rift between the celestial spheres, he has never been to three of the four northern countries where he lives.

"Henselt is a veritable 'Boar King', although his dynasty is given the pure name of 'Unicorn' because of its bloodline and legal relationship. Can you believe it? He did it because he felt that a certain businessman was Ad Kalai made so much money that he specifically chose a day when the businessman was leaving the city and raised the exit tax!"

“In my career, I have met thieves who look like MPs, MPs who look like beggars, whores who look like princesses, princesses who look like pregnant cows, and kings who look like thieves. But all I can say is”

Berengar’s sneer even made his body on the horse sway.

 “It is rare to see such an unfashionable king in the world.”

 Lan En was indeed amazed that such a person could become a king.

But the young witcher looked up at the sky. Although it was only four or five o'clock in the afternoon, it should still be a bright sunset in the summer.

But deep and heavy dark clouds have gathered over their heads. The tall trees of Willen swayed in the wind, becoming swaying silhouettes under the dark clouds.

At the same time, their noses began to be filled with the earthy smell before the rain.

 “The wind is very strong and it’s going to rain.”

Lan En's eyes retracted from the sky, and he smoothed the silver hair that was blown into the corner of his mouth by the moist wind with his hand.

 “Let’s find a hotel first and then we can chat.”
