Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1407 1379. Mutation Completed
The knights who had removed the emblem of their own order and were sweating profusely laughed loudly.

They were talking about how to chop off the heads of the knights who had surrendered to a despicable mutant, and after they had won the battle to capture the castle, they would put on the emblems of their own knights in a legitimate way.

When the next time Temeria's civil servants arrive to deliver supplies, they will be surprised to see that the castle no longer belongs to a mutant.

It is no longer a knight group that is subservient to mutants, but a group of honorable and loyal White Roses! Humans!
Kingdoms and kings will be shaken! They will be punished, but they will also be honored, and the eternal fire will praise their loyalty, sacrifice and fearlessness.

The power of faith has a huge impact among ordinary people, and the praise of the church will become their reputation.

The widely circulated voices among the people and the efforts of the Knights Templar in the Templar Council will lead to them receiving a punishment that is not too severe from the military court's ruling.

The Church of Eternal Fire will sponsor the Knights of the White Rose and provide them with unparalleled internal rewards.

Whether from the perspective of personal beliefs or tangible benefits, this group of people can't wait to get through this week as quickly as possible.

"Let's let that mutant be involved with an equally inferior warlock." A knight said with disgust, "The filthy bodies that the sorceresses bought with evil magic, huh, are really a perfect match for mutants."

"I feel sick when I think about those dirty and vile warlocks gathering in this bright world to hold a meeting! But it doesn't matter, let the mutant interfere with the meeting, and we will kill everyone here!"

"Even if that mutant slept with all the women in the sorceress school, that slutty whorehouse, so what? We have enough magic retardant metal to smash them to death!"

"It's a pity for you, Knight Falwick." The old knight stood up again with his pipe in his mouth and picked up the woodcutter's axe and laughed, "You forgot to bring a spare shield emblem, so you can only use the ready-made one by grinding it."

"When we win the battle and get the Knights' coat of arms back, you will probably be the only one wearing this funny little shield without an emblem. Haha! How should the painters who record our achievements and victories depict you?"

Being treated as a laughing stock, Knight Falvik remained silent, but his file movements became more and more ferocious.

On the edge of this bustling site that almost looked like a large construction site, there were dense bushes that were only two people tall and could not be used as materials for siege equipment and were ignored by the knights.

A pair of slightly glowing amber cat eyes flashed by.

The noise of the bushes was like the sound of a breeze blowing through them, and no one paid any attention to it.
-
Time always flies, and more than a week went by very quickly.

This feeling is especially strong when people are busy.

The full membership of the Embers Knights is sixty people, and now one-sixth of them is missing and is not participating in normal daily activities.

But this is not a big deal. Lincoln adjusted the schedules of the remaining fifty people more tightly, which can completely cover up the absence of ten people.

So up to now, the Embers Knights in High Hill Castle all knew that something big was happening.

But outwardly, it seemed as if nothing had happened.

On the castle's training ground, the sound of swords clashing was the same as usual, but after Maria began to train the knights in swordsmanship, the unique clashing sound of Dengli, which used to be often heard on the training ground, was no longer audible.

Maria is indeed one of the most experienced hunters in Yharnam.

Even when she was fighting against the Ember Knights without any knowledge of the basic [Ashina Style], with her fast and slow rhythm that she controlled freely, few people could use [Tonkei] to grasp the timing of her attacks and deflect her blade.

If the move is not performed successfully, there will naturally be no unique collision sound.

In addition, the knights have recently been learning the fighting style and techniques from Maria, the First Hunter of Yharnam, so the original unique collision sounds are of course less common.

Another story is that Maria actually began to learn the swordsmanship from the Ash Knights.

The blood of Cainhurst seemed to have some connection with the far eastern region in the ancient times of Yharnam.

Among the special weapons of these blood nobles, there are many shadows of samurai swords, such as the [Thousand Shadow] sword, which has blood poured into the scabbard and carries a bloody blade when it is drawn.

If we ignore the Western Gothic carvings and patterns on the handle, blade and scabbard, the shape of the sword alone is almost an authentic Japanese samurai sword.

Maria's long sword obviously also has this style, with the long and short swords matched in pairs of [Falling Leaves]. After being separated, it is basically a two-sword technique.

It's normal for her to be interested in the Ashina Style that the Embers Knights are currently practicing as a foundation.

Moreover, this Blood Noble made rapid progress. In just over a week, he had almost mastered the basic routines. All that was left was to let his body get familiar with [Trunk Breathing] for a long time, and then control the technique of [Airflow Blade] when slashing the sword.

[Ashina Style] is a simple and direct technique, and her basic skills are high enough.

This made the Embers Knights who hired her as their sword-fighting coach feel like they were at a loss.

However, when the knights thought about the fact that this lady was brought by the leader of the Knights Templar, it didn't matter whether it was a loss or not.

Anyway, they have started to learn the [Speed ​​Up Technique] now, right? Although they are still not good enough at it.
Lincoln thought as he walked to the door of Lan's room.

The clerk first picked up the large book he was carrying across his shoulder and flipped open it, then used his memory to confirm what he was going to do. After confirming that everything was clear, he raised his hand to knock on the door. But before he knocked on the door, he heard a voice coming from inside the door in this castle, which did not have good sound insulation.

"Feeling. Inconvenient.?"

Although the soundproofing was poor, Lan spoke in a normal tone, but when Lincoln heard it, only the intermittent and vague sound was heard.

And another voice, which the clerk had never heard before, also responded intermittently through the barrier of the room.

"Interesting! You are my student here! And everyone is quite free."

Lincoln knocked on the door with a normal expression.

When Lan En's voice came from inside the door, asking him to come in, the clerk looked around naturally, but did not see anyone else in the room.

"What's up, Lincoln?" The witcher didn't know what he was doing. He was patting his left and right hands together like he was brushing off dust. "Hmm? Are you looking for something?"

"No, I'm just looking for someone." The clerk said honestly, "I heard some conversation in your room just now. Are you ready to explain it to me?"

"No, I wasn't prepared for this. It was a surprise."

The witcher flatly refused, leaving the clerk stunned.

"Tsk, what kind of surprises are you trying to play between us? You might as well use your energy on Ms. Margarita. Or Ms. Triss? Ms. Tishaya? Ms. Maria?"

"The first two are very effective when you put a lot of thought into them, but the last two are a bit incoherent when you say them."

Lan En didn't care about his secretary's complaints. He dealt with it calmly.

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Talking about business, Lincoln's expression became serious: "It's Stuart. He feels he can get out of bed."

"Master Berengar and Ms. Triss think that you should go over and assess his current physical condition together before making a decision."

The demon hunter who was joking just now now looked serious and walked towards the door where Lincoln was.

"You've recovered mentally pretty quickly. Let's go."

The clerk stepped aside to allow his chief officer to pass by.

However, when he bowed his head, he saw something like talcum powder on his master's palm, as if he had just finished work.

No wonder he was patting the dust off with his hands when he opened the door just now.

But Lincoln was still confused by Lan's evil taste as to what he had done.

However, Lincoln did not dislike this occasional bad taste. After all, only at this time could he feel that he and Lan were actually of the same age.

When Lan and Lincoln arrived at the mutation room, Berengar and Triss were already waiting there.

The large room, which was so spacious at the beginning that even talking could cause an echo, is now a bit crowded.

Because the second batch of four people who underwent mutation had also had the [Green Herb Trial] potion set and [Big Eater Vitality] injected into their bodies a few days ago.

The effectiveness of this alchemical potion created by Lan really makes the mutation process of the demon hunter very smooth and reliable.

The original plan was to wait until Stuart was fully mutated before starting the second batch of mutations.

But whether it was Berengar or Triss, they felt much more relaxed after observing and judging based on both experience and magic.

The old witcher was originally worried as if he had met with a disaster, and the sorceress was also very nervous because she had no experience in supervising the mutation of witchers.

But only three days after Stewart began to mutate.
"Isn't this a bit too smooth?" The old demon hunter asked Lan En with a serious face. "I did see his body twitching and stiffening, but this is a natural reaction of the body under pain."

"But why did his fever, hysteria, hallucinations, internal bleeding, vomiting, these most intense and dangerous symptoms of physical mutation only last for less than half a day?"

During the mutation process, the muscles bulge and the body tenses due to pain, and the long duration of the mutation causes muscle overdraft, rhabdomyolysis, and muscle necrosis.

This is actually considered a relatively mild type of damage among the Demon Hunter mutations.

After surviving the mutation and becoming a demon hunter, it only takes a month to recuperate with your already highly tolerant body.
