Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1630 1602. Check the level
"they said."

Henwell smiled, and even though his beard was too thick, it was still clear that he was smiling.

"According to Archbishop Cyrus Hemelfat: it was a mass food poisoning."

"He warned his followers at sermons and mourning meetings to always cook their food before eating it, because the sacred fire could purify impurities."

"What about the reality?"

"In fact, we are sure he has received the warning message."

Henwill smiled. "After all, Stuart said in his regular correspondence that he used the stick you gave him to break the left arm of a bishop, and also the left side of his chest below the left arm."

"Even if someone has no medical knowledge, as long as he has seen what is called a 'normal human body structure', he would not think that it is so-called food poisoning."

"Okay, don't tell me so many details." Lan En waved his hand, "The purpose of my ordering the killing is to punish and warn. I won't get any pleasure from it."

"Well, I thought you would."

Lan En raised his head and looked at Henrique with disdain, and indeed made a disdainful sound: "Eh~"

After the joke, Henwell became serious.

"Afterwards, the fifteen people officially headed east into Aedirn and joined forces with Lady Sakia's troops."

"The remaining forty men, under the command of Secretary Lincoln, are all at the front."

Lan nodded, not surprised. He had probably guessed it when he came.

Second, he had already turned over the letter sent in the name of the King of Temeria.

Although the Knights of Embers do not belong to Temeria, they receive monthly allowances and supplies from Temeria and live on Temeria's land and in a castle that has been allocated to them.

If someone asks for help, can you really not go?

"You claim to leave twenty men in the castle?"

Lan En had already finished flipping through the pile of documents and files. He pointed his finger at the letter he had just pulled out.

"After all, we have to outnumber them." Henwill shrugged. "For this reason, when Lincoln and his men went to the front, they also took away the servants from Temeria. The only ones left in the castle are those we recruited nearby."

"This is a very good solution." Lan En praised, but he pinched his temples with a headache.

"The North is still a mess right now. If these people knew that I was involved in the peasant uprising in Aedirn, even if the Nilfgaardians chop off their heads, they won't be able to unite."

"There is still a long way to go." Henwill also sighed.

But unlike most northerners who were pessimistic about the war, Henwell's emotion was just emotion.

As for pessimism?

Ever since they fought their way out of Mount Sodden last time, they no longer had this kind of emotion.

"What's your current level?"

Lan En suddenly asked with interest.

"Of course. I can see that you have practiced [Trunk Breath] quite well now. The shadow of swordsmanship is always there in your walking and movements."

"But are the alchemical bombs, potion configurations, and the like going smoothly?"

Since they were able to follow him out of Cintra, Lan En had no doubts about the fighting talent and ability of all the Knights of Embers.

However, the knowledge of alchemy, sigils, etc. in the demon hunter still depends on targeted talent, or you can spend time and effort to master them.

Half a year is a very short period of time in the training process of a normal demon hunter.

Demon hunter apprentices will begin textual learning of sigils and alchemical knowledge before mutation. After mutation, their bodies will have the ability to generate chaos magic and they will begin formal practical training.

Even with the time for text-based learning before the mutation, it would only take half a year for a witcher apprentice to learn all five sigils.

The stability, intensity, and speed of release in a combat environment are things that cannot be forced.

The Embers have clearer logic and thinking than those young demon hunter apprentices, and are also fully accustomed to the combat environment.

This is their advantage, but the lack of text-based learning is their disadvantage.

After all, Lan agreed to let them undergo the witcher mutation, which, if you think about it, was only a little over a year ago.

"You said that, it is true that some are fast and some are slow." Henwill scratched his forehead a little embarrassedly, "My alchemy is not bad. Now I can make advanced potions and bombs."

As he spoke, he turned his waist bag from behind and opened it towards Lan En.

Lan En saw it clearly at a glance.

Inside were four small bottles of potions. The thumb-thick glass bottles were inserted side by side in a leather ring, with gauze shock-absorbing protection on both sides.

[Advanced Cat's Eye], [Advanced Thunder], [Advanced Swallow] and [Advanced Pure White Rafad].

The last two bottles are the means for witchers to heal their wounds. Apart from Lann, even the old wolf Vesemir would preserve these high-quality potions as an emergency measure if he encountered them.

[Advanced Cat's Eye] is enough to allow the demon hunter to maintain low-light vision for a whole night. Of course, Lan En now has this ability.

[Advanced Thunder] stimulates the body's strength in a very simple way.

It can be seen that the combination of potions that Henwill prepared for himself did not have any intention of leaning towards the path of magic signs.

Heal yourself, keep your sights, and start slashing.

Although the Bear School should indeed follow this process, but I remember that I used the Wolf School's mutation formula?
Under Lan's strange gaze, Henrique smiled awkwardly and walked closer to Lan's table.

Then he frowned deeply, raised his hand and snapped his fingers.

"puff!"

With a muffled sound, the candle on the table went out.

But he wanted to light it again, but he was so furrowed in frown that he had no idea what to do. Lan En raised his hand expressionlessly: "Puff!"

The flame is reignited.

"Maybe I haven't practiced enough," Henwill added.

"So what did you practice?" Lan En tilted his head to look at him.

As soon as he finished speaking, Lan suddenly turned his head and looked at the window where the sun was shining in. Then Henwill also turned his head.

Both of them looked over from the window, and the two pairs of cat eyes looked at each other.

"I'm practicing this." Henwell pointed to the window.

Lan En supported his forehead, but the fluffy ball jumped onto the windowsill with great interest and looked out.

In the inner courtyard surrounded by the walls of Gaoqiu Castle, two figures were seen fighting swiftly and fiercely, but there was no sound of swords clashing.

Embers Knight Zorn, who was previously called down by Cassandra to "see his skills", was now standing outside the field, gasping in amazement as he put away the long sword that had been broken into two pieces.

And not far from him.

Cassandra rolled a long way on the ground nimbly.

But a black shadow appeared beside her silently and quickly like a wisp of black smoke!

The dark long knife slashed across the ground.

At such a speed that his figure could be blurred into a ball, let alone a long sword, even a wooden stick could kill someone.

"what!"

But Cassandra was very interested in this.

The blade of Leonidas' spear flashed with golden light.

The broken spear flew out of Cassandra's hand with a whoosh!

The swift black smoke figure halfway through the journey was equally agile, not rigid due to the inertia of speed.

He slightly turned sideways, and the broken spear flew past the brim of the tricorn hat, only cutting off a few white hairs that were blown by the wind.

Maria was about to continue chasing the target in front of her, but her blood-red eyes suddenly turned towards the broken spear that had flown past her!
Because of Cassandra's gaze, facing the attacking Maria, she always followed the broken spear that flew out.

This made the experienced Yharnam hunter feel that something was wrong.

The follow-up indeed confirmed her intuition!

Cassandra suddenly disappeared accompanied by golden light spots like particle effects!

Then he suddenly appeared at the current position of Broken Spear!

At this moment, Cassandra was holding the broken spear upside down, like a large dagger with an extended handle.

The falconer, who moved through space in an instant, seemed to have no delay or confusion caused by the sudden transfer of his body.

She had an interested smile on her face.

The body in mid-air twisted its waist! The broken spear that had just flown past the brim of the tricorn hat turned its head and was grasped by the hand and stabbed back at the opponent's neck!
"bump!"

In Maria's left hand, she held the musket [Evelyn]. This gun carried Cainhurst's extravagant, complicated and decadent artistic style, and could be called a work of art.

At this moment, the gun and the hand holding it were stuck on Cassandra's wrist, where she was about to stab down.

This was the first collision between the two since their confrontation.

The long sword [Falling Leaves] in Maria's hand immediately turned upside down!

Now the distance between the two is too close, and the long sword is no longer suitable for attack, but fortunately [Falling Leaves] is a double-headed sword made of two long and short swords.

The end of the dagger can be used at this time.

But Cassandra doesn't just have one weapon.

She is used to dual wielding weapons!

Berengar's [prototype], the Novigrad Dagger is a one-handed sword that fits the hand very well.

The sword blade that was like black smoke and water waves collided with the short knife of [Falling Leaf].

Suddenly there was a loud explosion!
"bump!"

The sound was not loud, but it was much louder than the sound of the two people's arms colliding just now.

Because it was an explosion!

The material of the molten dragon gave the sword explosive power. After it hit the dagger, the sudden explosive force almost made Maria raise her hands without any preparation and lose her fighting posture.

But the hunter from Yharnam narrowed his blood-red eyes slightly.

"Choke!"

The mechanism of the transforming weapon was activated, and Maria directly opened the biting mechanism of the [Falling Leaf] long sword!
The dagger, which was the main target of the explosion, was separated from the main body and flew out at a faster and more violent speed.

But Maria's hand holding the long sword turned smoothly and aimed at the opposite body.

"bass!"

The flying dagger was stuck on the distant city wall.

Ashen Knight Zorn, who had just been left aside, looked at the training sword with a gap in his mouth.

If he hadn't used [Dengli] to block the dagger in time, this thing would have stabbed his shoulder!
