Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1166 1148. Preparation

After saying that, Berengar clapped his hands and left. He had to quickly repair the armor that was torn apart by Smaug.

And Lan En was still looking at the letter from Foltest asking for help, frowning.

"Such a big thing happened suddenly without any signs."

Tissaya seemed to be calm, still sitting in her seat with dignity, and asked softly without turning her head.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"If Foltest had other ways, he wouldn't look for me. This is a sensitive move."

Lan En didn't raise his head, repeatedly flipping through the pieces of letter paper, and occasionally taking a sip of juice from the cup.

"And if the scope of this change really expands to the Pontar River Valley. What's going on! I just bought shares of a cargo ship company on the Pontar River!"

The demon hunter complained and flicked the fine letter paper with his fingers.

And if something really happens in the Pontar Valley, it will not only be a matter for the inland shipping company.

The Pontar River spans the four northern countries, and the main arteries of water transportation in the four countries are all on this river.

Once something happens in the Pontar Valley, the Valyrian steel business will be over.

Without water transportation, relying solely on land transportation, the transportation efficiency will be directly reduced by 80%, and even the most profitable business will fail.

In public and private, this matter has a huge impact. Lan En is ready to accept Foltest's invitation to see what is going on.

"And to be honest, there is no manpower and no time for what I really want to do now."

Lan En's eyes did not move away from the letter paper, but the focus of his eyes was no longer on the letter paper.

"It would be nice to do something else."

Looking at Lan En's profile, Margarita swallowed back what she wanted to say.

——

For a period of time afterwards, Lan En did not leave immediately.

The changes near Elland have lasted for more than a month, and it doesn't make much difference if it happens a few days earlier or later. And he still has to do some preparations.

First of all, the repair of the Grandmaster Bear School Armor is not that fast. The leather and tethers that were burned by Smaug's dragon fire are the best goods that match this Grandmaster Armor.

All the merchants in the whole city of Gos Velen can't get enough stock.

These top-quality leathers not only have to have good base materials, but also have to be processed by magic and alchemy. The cost is very high and the demand is also small. Therefore, few merchants will stock a large amount of goods.

Berengar had to contact the blacksmith of Sir Visserad's Crow's Nest. The two of them found half of Velen's merchants to get them together.

But this is much faster than asking Berengar to start processing leather on the spot.

It took two days to repair this set of Grandmaster Armor. On the day it was put on Lann again, Lann's blood was also transformed.

Under the action of the [Blood Regeneration Organ], the blood flow in his body became a high-energy state that can carry more oxygen and nutrition.

Through breathing and food intake, when his blood transformation was completed, he also filled the blood with nutrients at the same time.

In his body, the enhanced organs began to operate and carry out physiological activities in a more efficient state.

However, it is not known whether it was due to Lan's subconscious resistance, or whether [Spiritual Vision] or some other power had some inhibitory effect on the growth hormone secreted by the [Holy Gland].

Anyway, in his memory, the Primaris Space Marines did not grow to more than three meters in height again.

On the contrary, his height has been maintained at two and a half meters during this period, and even if other enhanced organs were implanted later, there was no change in his body shape.

His strength has increased without any loss.

On the other hand, the space expansion pack produced by Aretuza has been equipped to the fluff ball.

The orders for space expansion packs in the academy have been scheduled for a long time, but considering that the problem that Lan En is going out to solve this time sounds really weird and dangerous.

So Tishaya and Margarita simply handed over those space expansion packs that have been made but not delivered to him.

Not only does the fluff ball now have a small bag made of demon skin on his back.

The luxurious and beautiful magic harness on Qilin was also equipped with a common horseback saddlebag.

A package made of petrified chicken snake skin and a package made of gliding lizard skin were connected together and placed on Qilin's buttocks.

This really greatly improved Lan En's carrying capacity.

"It is related to the smooth flow of the Pontar Valley. This matter is of great importance."

Finally, when sending Lan En out of the city, Margarita whispered to him.

"Foltest will definitely make great efforts to solve this matter. Magic support is indispensable. Who will have this honor, dear?"

The female sorceress with dazzling eyebrows and eyes turned her eyes and looked at the demon hunter with an ambiguous smile that was self-evident.

"Triss." Following Margarita's prompt, Lan En said this name.

Although Temeria has many experienced royal advisers, only Triss will be sent there.

Because Lan En will also go.

"So enjoy it, dear." Margarita encouraged the witcher by adjusting the bearskin collar on his repaired armor.

"Don't hesitate when you need magic support. Although Triss is young and her magic power is mediocre, she has good talent and is commendable."

The wizard who was able to compete for the position of royal advisor in Temeria, one of the four northern kingdoms, was evaluated as "mediocre magic power".

Anyone would think that this was nonsense said by a drunkard.

But if the person who said this was Margarita Lox Andrea, and she used her own level to describe Triss's level, it would be normal.

Philippa Ehart is the most powerful wizard among the many wizards serving the four northern countries, but this woman is cautious when talking about magic in front of Margarita, for fear of making a fool of herself.

Since they began to study the elf beacon brought back by Lan En, Margarita and Tissaya have been able to sense the intersection of the celestial spheres and estimate the opening time in just a few months.

Their talents and magic abilities are undoubtedly top-notch.

"I hope you and Tissaya can also study in the academy what happened to that place to cause such a large area without living things."

Lan En scratched his cheek and said.

"If a certain warlock's large-scale magic really gets out of control, or there is a curse, I may really be helpless."

"Don't worry, of course we will help you." Margarita hugged her hands under her chest, holding up the weight of her chest.

"But we need to get news and samples of that land. According to the messenger, no one who went in can come out."

"So if that's the case, I'll take the land samples and information as my first goal."

Lan En said, and at the same time turned over and rode on the back of the unicorn. The flannel ball that was originally catching grasshoppers on the ground also quickly came to its senses and rushed up with a "meow".

"We're off, meow!"

The flannel ball carrying the new package waved happily at Margarita, and the sorceress also smiled and raised her hand to respond to the kitten.

The weather is good today. There is still a lot of wind in Willen, but the clouds are not gloomy, and it doesn't look like it will rain.

The salty sea breeze blowing from the sea made Lan En's cloak rustle.

The plants in Velen had long been adapted to the sea breeze. On both sides of the dirt road in the countryside, the slender grass stalks and the tiny yellow-white wild flowers were blown here and there, but they all grew steadily.

The fishy and salty sea breeze at least blew away the lingering swamp stench on the land of Velen.

Qilin followed Lan En's command and walked slowly on the dirt road in the countryside, and the horse's hooves made a muffled "bang bang" sound.

"Meow?"

But the fluffy ball, which was active because of the adventure again, sat on the head of the unicorn, holding its half-grown broken horn and looking around, with its three-color tail swinging back and forth.

"Boss, shouldn't we go to the northeast, meow?"

The kitten scratched the triangular ears on his head and turned his head to ask.

Elland is a principality city in the northeast corner of Temeria. According to the grid-like distribution of the four northern countries, it is also a city close to the Pontar River Valley.

At first, the fluff ball thought that Lan En was not in a hurry, so he let Qilin walk on the winding country roads in Weiren.

This kind of road is made by people walking spontaneously, and naturally bypasses swamps and difficult depressions and hills.

So it is understandable that a road that was supposed to go northeast turns south first.

But after walking for so long, it is still heading southeast, which is not right.

"Before going to Elland, I plan to make up the funds embezzled from the Knights."

Lan En patted the bag hanging behind Qilin's buttocks, making the ancient dragon kick his hooves unaccustomedly.

It also made a "huffing" sound of snorting.

All the way to the southeast hinterland of Weiren, the population density is getting less and less, and the various calls in the surrounding high mountains and dense forests are getting more and more.

On Bald Mountain not far away, the ancient and huge oak tree is still lush.

The road leading to the High Hill Castle where the Embers Knights were stationed was very remote, but the Knights had already built it better and better.

Kirin's hoof stepped on the wooden bridge across the stream. The heavy ancient dragon and the demon hunters could not make the wooden bridge unbearable.

"Tsk," Lan En tilted his head and looked down, raising his eyebrows, "Are you guys building a military-grade road?"

But thinking about the atmosphere he usually brought to his knights, it seems not impossible.

"Indeed, my lord."

As Lan En complained, a small group of cavalrymen with bright and rigorous armor trotted from the corner on the road in front of him.

The leading knight among the five or six people lifted his visor, stopped in front of Lan En first, and turned over and dismounted before approaching Kirin.

He bowed to the demon hunter sitting on the ancient dragon, fluently and standardly.

"It's a pleasure to welcome you back in person, lord."
