Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1670 1642. Open Entry into the City
"No, you made the decision out of your own persistence, and I recognize your persistence. I will help you make a plan, and if you fail, we will face it together. Isn't this how we always get along?"

"Before, you often helped me, but now I help you."

"Believe me, you two should focus on the western coastal front in this war. There are northern countries that were destroyed by Nilfgaard without any resistance."

"But the Nilfgaardian commander on the western front is a fool. He doesn't even act, and reveals the face of the slave-based military state. The more cruel his methods are, not at the national level but at the grassroots level, the stronger the resistance he will provoke."

"At the beginning of winter, the guerrillas in Weiden numbered less than 500 people. Less than three months later, they were already spreading all over the occupied areas of the Western Army Group."

Lan En analyzed it methodically. Tishaya, wrapped in only a bath towel, put down her fork and slowly stood up.

"The Chaos Magic you and Gedimitis can mobilize is very powerful, but your lives are also very fragile. What you need to focus on most is whether you can find a group you can trust and have your back."

"The four northern nations want to control you, but the Viden guerrillas, who were forced into guerrilla warfare by Nilfgaard, will look upon you as hope for their support."

"You'll be safe. At least your backs are safe. And then, well.!"

Before Lan En could finish his words, his mouth was forcefully blocked.

Tishaya hadn't wrapped the bath towel carefully to begin with, and it slipped directly to the ground due to her intense movements.

She didn't say anything, but her intense breathing and fiery eyes showed that she was in a state of sexual desire.

In Tishaya's life, she has been the person in charge and decision maker for nearly hundreds of years.

All the pressure and speculation took place in her mind alone. No matter how heavy the psychological burden was, she had to bear it alone.

Because there is no other human sorceress in the world who is more experienced and powerful than her.

But today, after hundreds of years, she finally gained reliance and support from others.

She once shared her real name with him.

And now, she found peace of mind from him.

The feeling of security and support became the catalyst for Tishaya's sexual desire at this time.

This is a deeper and more powerful catalyst than last night's fear.

"Uh hey!" Lan turned his head and whispered, "I just got dressed! And Rita is still sleeping!"

"Rita is sleeping soundly." There was a rare impatience in Tishaya's tone, mixed with her intense breathing, kissing Lan's earlobe, "And I guess she won't care! Stop talking, we just need to make love now."

"Don't worry about the time. I'll open a portal for you that's very close to Novigrad! Phew, very close!"
-
"Oh!"

Outside Novigrad, in a village next to the city wall, a portal that suddenly appeared caused a sudden change in air pressure, making the air vibrate with a muffled sound.

The huge pile of clothes hung up by the washerwoman nearby began to float up with the air pressure, causing a burst of exclamations.

"Damn wizard! It's witchcraft! Witchcraft!"

People screamed and exclaimed, and the laundry women who had signed their business signs dropped the laundry mallets in their hands and ran away holding up their skirts.

Lan En changed into a new set of casual clothes, followed by a flannel ball, and walked out in a pretentious manner, holding the reins of the Qilin magic harness.

As soon as they came out, Felyne and Ancient Dragon had their usual reactions at the same time.

“Huff, huff!”

"Yeah, yeah, it's really uncomfortable, meow~"

Ancient Dragon and Felynx sang in unison, shaking their heads and complaining about the discomfort of passing through the portal.

Both guys looked a little nauseous.

On the contrary, it was Lan En who was similar to them before.

He just shook his neck and there was no other reaction.

[Ear of Leman] rebuilt his body's balance perception. He could withstand the orbital drop and the portal was no big deal.

As his feet stepped onto the yellow soil outside Novigrad, Lan looked up and saw the city wall and the Tretog Gate.

This is the gate that Novigrad named in honor of the Redanian capital of Tretogg.

When Tishaya said to open the portal closer, she meant it was really close.

This washerwoman opened a laundry outside the city, and the wooden bridge into the city was just a few dozen meters away.

For this reason, the temple guards at the Tretog Gate immediately responded to the portal that opened close to the city wall.

A dozen temple guards rushed over, accompanied by a burst of passionate chanting.

"Filthy and dirty wizard! You are not allowed to enter this sacred land! This land is illuminated by the eternal fire, which drives away magic and evil!"

It was a missionary of the Eternal Flame, who must be near the gate of Tretog, preaching on the street. He saw the commotion and immediately followed.

At this time, the missionary in the fiery red monk's robe mixed in with a group of temple guards in shining scales, moving forward with his head bowed and chanting devoutly.

It really has a bit of the meaning of a holy religious war.

The missionary himself was also excited.

Opening a portal next to the wall of Novigrad, there is no way it will be okay no matter where you go!
This is the city where the Eternal Fire headquarters is located!

According to the doctrine, it is a city protected by the sacred eternal fire!
This man opened a portal at the edge of the city wall but did not enter the city. He turned around and preached, "This is because the eternal fire protects our city of decent people. Witchcraft and evil cannot get close under the firelight!"
In the eyes of this missionary, Tishaya's sense of propriety has become a topic of conversation for him to return to chanting scriptures and preaching.

However, just when the missionary was filled with excitement and even a little self-moved, he was reciting the scriptures loudly when he bumped into the back of the temple guard in front of him with a "bang".

The back of the other man's helmet hit his forehead painfully.

But this also caused the missionary, who was reciting scriptures with his head bowed, to raise his head.

Then he knew why the temple guards were standing still.

When they were ten meters away from Lan En, the people at the end of their team were still standing on the bridge at the city gate.

But Lan's body shape problem can already be seen.

——I’m going to fuck your mom?!

A horse three meters tall at the shoulder! A person two and a half meters tall!

The man's slap was enough to cover a normal person's entire head!

And regardless of the unusual-looking horse, the characteristics of this person alone
"It's Lord Hunter!"

Someone among the temple guards spoke in a low voice.

Hair that looks like molten silver, a body that looks like a superman, and a face that makes anyone dazed. Isn't this unique?
Lan pretended to lead the Qilin - mainly because it was too big, so as not to scare people around him - and walked straight to the city gate of Novigrad.

He was now dressed only in a casual outfit of a silk shirt and breeches, with the sword of the Lady of the Lake hanging at his waist.

There was no clothing to cover up the body shape or conceal the identity, and the same went for the flannel ball and the unicorn.

Officially, this was his first public appearance since the Battle of Sodden Hill.

He led Qilin forward, and the fluffy ball sat on the ancient dragon's neck, looking around curiously.

The temple guards in front of him did not communicate or order anything, but were surprisingly unanimous: they separated on their own in the direction he was moving.

Both sides are close to the fences of the wooden bridge leading into the city, as if they want to leave as much road in the middle as possible.

Many residents gathered around to watch the fun. It seemed that some of them enjoyed watching the temple guards get humiliated, and some of them were whistling or laughing.

The missionary was still in a daze, but was pulled aside by a temple guard beside him and was no longer blocking the road.

Qilin's hooves made a 'clacking' sound as they stepped on the wooden boards on the bridge.

Lan paused in front of the missionary.

But he didn't look at the missionary, but at the temple guard who pulled the missionary aside.

"You ever met me?"

Lan En asked with doubt, but his tone was firm.

"Yes, yes, sir." The temple guard raised his head and answered, his voice trembling, "I participated in the Battle of Sodden Mountain! It was the honor of my life!"

The trembling was not out of fear, but excitement.

Lan En first looked at the polished badge of the Eternal Fire Temple Guard hanging on his chest, then nodded and patted his shoulder.

The witcher continued walking towards the city of Novigrad. When he passed the empty sentry post at the city gate, he saw a small podium that a missionary had built on the corner of the street.

He has always had a bad attitude towards the ignorant and superstitious eternal fire.

But their followers were very broad, including those who wanted to amass wealth and rise to power, and ended up being burned by the Chaos Fire under Gaoqiu Castle.

There are also those who believe in the Eternal Fire but go to the battlefield of Sodden Mountain to defend the North.

There are even shapeshifters who believe in the doctrine of the eternal fire, illuminating the darkness with light for civilization.

There were some things that Lan En despised, and some that he couldn't despise. This was the complexity of reality.

A pair of amber cat eyes belonging to a demon hunter were walking freely on the streets of Novigrad today.

This life, which was considered "witchcraft and filth" in the doctrine of the Eternal Fire, now only caused exclamations and onlookers on the street.

Lan En is a very famous person after all.

And his appearance is really outstanding.

Along the way, some bold ladies even threw down their colorful underwear from the attics on the street.

Lan En dodged silently, but a lace bra was hung on the little head of the fluffy ball.

"Don't throw clothes around, meow!"

Elumao grabbed her bra and yelled angrily at the people upstairs!

Too bad it just makes people feel cute.

At first, people were surprised that this slightly larger cat could talk, but when they saw that the people at the Eternal Fire on the street pretended not to see this obvious 'non-human', they started to laugh even louder.

Lan En walked with a polite smile on his face, but his eyes were always calm as he scanned the surroundings quickly.

Finally, in the commotion of Novigrad that seemed like a major festival, he arrived at the port of Novigrad and found the ship that Dijkstra had agreed to take to Kovir.
