Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1486 1158. Prince’s Revenge?
Bai Ze's voice seems a little funny because it has a bit of goat vibrato.

But its tone is full of the calmness and insight of an old man who is indifferent to the changes in the world.

Elu Cat, who was suddenly shaken dizzy by the Qilin's back, looked up at the old goat thoughtfully.

Then he looked down at the big cat ball in his arms, and his little paw touched Shan Mo's head, as if to comfort the big cat ball.

"So, you are actually a kitten without a mother, meow?"

"Meow~"

"Okay!" The fluffy ball clenched his fists as if he had made up his mind! "I will take good care of you in the future, meow!"

And Shanca also jumped up happily: "Meow!"

But then, in this lovely and warm atmosphere
"vomit!"

A bad sound came out of the mouth of the fluff ball again. Lan En squatted down extremely quickly, covered the kitten's mouth and tilted its head in one direction.

It was a close call that the vomit didn't hit Shanca's head. It's said that the host and the guardian spirit can touch each other, but can the vomit touch the guardian spirit? It's really curious.

"Ninja cat, and this horse."

After the fluff ball finally calmed down after being calmed down by Lan En, and went over to kick the Kirin's hooves hard, Takenaka Hanbei asked cautiously.

"I would like to ask: Is this something you created using the [Spirit Stone]?"

[Spirit Stone]?
Lan En was sensitive and immediately caught the unusual word.

His first impression of this word was that it was comparable to a novel he had read before. He thought that this was a storage medium for some kind of supernatural power, and perhaps it could also serve as a general equivalent in the process of supernatural power transactions.

But this first impression was quickly sealed by Lan himself, and he just kept it in Mentos.

After all, he didn't know whether the [Spirit Stone] the other person was talking about was the same as his first impression.

Just like when he was in the New World, Lan En's first impression of "Dragon Jade" was that it was closer to the "Dragon Crystal" in many novels, but over there, this thing was just a biological stone, more like bezoar.

Lan, who has had many adventures around the world, knows better than to rely on his own stereotypes.

"No," the demon hunter said calmly as usual, with no change in expression, "I was already like this when I met the fluff ball and the unicorn. Later, we became friends and traveled here together, and we were both possessed by guardian spirits."

A sincere conversation also brought up the introduction of the fluffy ball and the Qilin.

"Is he born with a divine stature?"

Takenaka Hanbei's eyes wandered between the cute kitten in armor and the Kirin with its unique, noble and arrogant appearance.

He found it hard to believe that such a coincidence could happen in the world.

But his guardian spirit felt that Lan En was not lying, and these two were indeed not things that he transformed and created using the [Spirit Stone].

But a creature that is in harmony with nature.

When a very confident and intelligent person encounters a coincidence that he thinks is unlikely to happen and it actually happens, the impact of this worldview is self-evident.

Takenaka Hanbei's face remained calm, but his pupils were shaking violently.

"The unicorn was captured during the western hunting? The unicorn spits out a jade book?"

In an instant, all the stories about the Western continent that he knew from his extensive reading began to stir in his mind as Takenaka Hanbei watched.

'What is this? His ambition and aspiration? Or is it really destiny? ! '

Under the guidance of his teacher, Takenaka Hanbei had read countless examples of ambitious people using ancient stories to build up their own momentum and gain prestige and fame.

According to legend, Confucius, the most holy Confucianist, was born from a unicorn. Later, there was a saying that "a unicorn spat out three volumes of jade books, and Confucius studied them and achieved great success."

In the Confucian cultural circle, no one dares to speculate on this supreme sacred symbol.

As for the fact that Lan En named his mount "Qilin", Takenaka Hanbei was not too surprised.

After all, this ancient dragon from the New World seems to fit the definition of a Western unicorn more closely at first glance.

However, there are many different images of "Qilin" in the East.

Some have one horn, some have two horns. Some have bodies like scaled horses with hooves as limbs. Some have bodies more like scaled lions and tigers with claws as limbs. And so on.

I heard that in the Ming Dynasty on the Western Continent, there was a precedent of calling a beast with yellow-brown spots and a very long neck a Qilin and presenting it to the royal family.

After all, reporting auspicious signs is meritorious, and who wouldn’t want the credit to fall on themselves?

However, unlike Takenaka Hanbei's brief interest in the 'Qilin', his guardian spirit is Bai Ze.

After hearing Lan En introduce Qilin's name, the small round-frame glasses on the sheep's face suddenly fell down to the bridge of his nose!

Old man, what haven’t I seen?

Fuck! Old man, I have never seen this before!

The three eyes on Bai Ze's face blinked a little dazedly. He first looked at Qilin, and then looked at Lan En, or to be more precise, at the void around Lan En.

"No reaction. It looks like it shouldn't be a problem."

The old goat muttered.

"What do you mean 'no problem'?" Lan En had very sharp ears, so he turned around and asked it in confusion.

"No, nothing." The old goat's ears fluttered twice, and he floated back to Takenaka Hanbei from Lan En's side. "I just said it casually."

At this time, Ando Mamoru had already quietly moved his small table closer to his son-in-law.

The hand was still pulling at the corner of the son-in-law's clothes under the table, unable to stop it.

"Hanbei!" He covered his mouth and asked in a low voice, "Even his horse! Even his cat! They are blessed by gods and Buddhas!"

".What the hell is going on? What was the surname of the Emperor of the Ming Dynasty? Please keep silent!" Takenaka Hanbei's mouth twitched uncontrollably. He felt that his father-in-law might bite his tongue out of nervousness.

"Father, the emperor of Ming Dynasty is named Zhu, not Lan."

He could only comfort his father-in-law in a low voice.

"Then he must be some big shot! A very big shot!" Unfortunately, seeing that this soothing had no effect at all, Ando Mamoru repeated madly, "Look at his horse! Look at his cat!"

"Among the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty, there was a man named Lan who even intermarried with the royal family. However, not long after the founding of the country, his entire family was exterminated. Father, please don't scare yourself."

Then, Ando Mamoru's eyes were as big as two Yongle Tongbao coins.

Takenaka Hanbei slapped his forehead.

He was actually stunned just now, so he just comforted his father-in-law casually.

As a result, the founding generals of the Ming Dynasty intermarried with the royal family and their entire families were exterminated.
——Fuck "Prince's Revenge", right?!

Although this type of story became a world-renowned tragedy model in the hands of Shakespeare half a century later, similar stories have always been popular and influential from ancient times to the present.

Looking at his father-in-law’s expression, he must have already completed the drama in his mind!

At this time, Bai Ze just happened to float back to Hanbei and slowly stabbed his student again: "Well, I told you: Lord An Teng is a rotten tree that cannot be carved."

For a moment, the young warrior who would later become known as a 'wise general' felt confused.

He could only look at his teacher helplessly and unhappily.

"This is all the teacher's fault!" He communicated with his teacher as a guardian spirit. "First he said something about a benevolent and peaceful world, and then..."

He can still sit here basically calmly, and Takenaka Hanbei even feels that his energy-cultivation skills have improved!
Who among ordinary people can remain seated after hearing any of the previous words?
"Anyway, if you want to show your sincerity, this should be enough for me, right?"

Lan En placed the flannel ball next to his seat, and Qilin walked to the other side of Lan En and lay down quietly.

Ando Mamoru on the opposite side rubbed his eyes hard, suspecting that he had drunk too much, and saw a Ukiyo-e depicting mythological content come to life.

For a warrior like him who has no guardian spirit and lacks sufficient void wisdom, the only things he can see on a daily basis are monsters and evil spirits.

He had never seen such an image, like a flannel ball and a unicorn, standing next to a guardian spirit, and he didn't know which one was more mysterious.

Not to mention that these two images are now very wisely by Lan En's side.

Ordinary wild beasts that show intelligence can be mistaken for mountain gods, wild gods, or the like, not to mention the Felyne and the ancient dragons of the New World.

Then I thought about what my son-in-law had muttered in the tea room before.

"All the people in the world!"

Ando Morinari's eyelids were trembling, and he didn't even notice it, but he had already muttered these three words.

"what did you say?"

Lan En raised his eyebrows.

And Ando Morinari, the lord of Iwamura Castle and the leader of the Mino Three, looked terrified and suddenly woke up and looked at Lan En opposite him.

"No, it's nothing!"

As if by reflex, he responded to Lan En's casual question with the solemnity of a warrior facing his king.

Not only that.

With a rustling sound, Ando Morinari's hakama (a kind of loose samurai trousers) rubbed against the reflective tung oil floor.

The whole person maintained a kneeling posture and slid one step behind the small dining table.

This step means leaving the dining table, and making your next actions also leave the scope of the banquet, appearing more serious.

Then he very solemnly placed his hands on the ground and leaned forward.

This action confused Lan En.

Although Ando Morishi's movements were far from being considered as a dogeza in terms of magnitude, they were still very solemn and could even be considered a respectful etiquette.

"I heard that Lord Lan En is concerned about exorcising demons. Perhaps he needs to check the household registration records in this city?"

“Is that so?”

Lan En said affirmatively, but his tone was full of doubt due to confusion.

"It is a blessing for me, no, for everyone in Mino, to have such a talented person like you who is dedicated to slaying demons!"

"If you need anything, please feel free to use it! Thank you very much!"

No, I think according to etiquette, shouldn't I thank you?

The demon hunter, the Felyne, the ancient dragon of the new world, and the beautiful demon hunter, four pairs of eyes looked at Ando Mamoru and blinked at the same time.

"Hmm." Bai Ze tilted his head to look at Ando Morinari who saluted solemnly, "You are wrong. Although rotten wood cannot be carved, its cleverness and decisiveness are quite interesting."

Takenaka Hanbei looked at his father-in-law with a complicated look, and after a moment he turned to Lan En, with a serious expression on his gentle face.

"As for shorthand and analysis, thanks to the teacher, I have some confidence. If you need me, I can spend an hour to search through the household registration records of the entire Iwamura City and find the culprit."

Takenaka Hanbei stared at Lan En as if he wanted to see through something.

"If you are truly a man who can create a world of peace and benevolence, then let me see you!"

Lan En scratched his head. He didn't know why Hanbei's decision was different from what he had discussed before and it seemed that he was making things difficult for him just now.

But why do I feel like both of you are suddenly ignited?

Did the Japanese start to become middle school students from this moment on?
