Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1454 1426. Dawn

When Geralt was somewhat sober, he saw that his chest and abdomen were full of blood, and his nose was almost blocked by blood clots, and he couldn't breathe. His ears were also blocked by blood clots, so he couldn't hear anything.

This was a good sign, at least it meant that he wouldn't bleed to death from his nose, mouth, and ears because of a head injury.

He looked at his legs, one of which was bent at a weird angle and looked much shorter than the other. No, it wasn't "looks", half of his foot had indeed become a piece of meat paste, hanging on the bones.

But he didn't feel any pain, as if this body belonged to someone else, and he was just a dizzy bystander.

The whole body was cold, numb and strange, making him want to vomit.

"Are you awake? Very good."

Lan's voice came from behind him, and he only realized now that he seemed to be dragged away.

This young but capable friend made Geralt's heart calm a little.

They had only known each other for a few years, but for some reason, this young man made him feel at ease.

"Don't be surprised about your injury. I just pulled you out of the collapse of a large stone tower. You are lucky to lose half of your foot."

Although Geralt was in a downhill position where the shock wave was not very threatening, the falling rocks still killed him.

"Take care of it, Geralt." Lan continued, "You won't be disabled. If you lose your whole leg, I can make you a new one. Don't worry."

"Ciri, Ciri."

"Don't talk, Geralt."

"Yennefer, I must."

"You don't have to do anything! You can't do anything now! Don't talk!"

Lan dragged him across the floor full of corpses, which made Geralt feel much more comfortable.

He was not comfortable because of the many corpses here. He was not a bloodthirsty person.

It was just because the blood from these corpses moistened the marble floor, making him feel smooth and stable when he was dragged.

"Great!" Margarita's voice rang out, and she quickly ran towards Lan, "You're okay! Huh~"

She let out a long breath, but then it got stuck again.

"Geralt? How could he be injured like this? Where's Yennefer? Where's Ciri? Triss, come and have a look!"

Margarita asked a barrage of questions, and then she turned around and called Triss, who was pale.

Triss, with her red hair scattered and looking weak and embarrassed, also looked at Lan's appearance first, and after confirming that he was normal, she quickly knelt on the ground and bent down to see Geralt's situation.

"Of course I'm okay." Lan shook his head first, "But let me be relieved, you are okay too."

"Of course."

Margarita's ugly face showed a somewhat forced and confident smile when facing Lan.

She raised the things in her hand.

It was a hunter pistol that Lan gave her, and a spiral cane that had been deformed and unfolded.

The spiral staff floated under the effect of magic, so when it was unfolded, the force like a wildly contracting steel tape measure did not need to be held in Margarita's hand.

She used magic to control this transformable weapon from Yan Yanan, so she did not need to learn the skills of using this unique and dangerous weapon.

More importantly, the hunter's rifle.

Although the attacks of the warlocks who could come here for the meeting were at least like cannonballs.

However, the warlocks were not good at fighting. As long as they were not focused or disturbed, they would not dare to use chaos magic easily, but this disadvantage did not apply to the hunter's pistol.

The offensive and defensive capabilities of high-level warlocks in a prepared situation were certainly not comparable to a hunter's pistol.

But the key is that this thing really does not require much concentration to use, and it is sudden enough when fired.

In the warlock's civil war, Margarita was originally the most powerful one, and with the hunter's pistol, she became much more flexible.

"But my academy." Margarita looked around with a sullen face, her face solemn and angry, "Francesca! That bitch ran away! She left these Scoia'tael who came for her without any hesitation!"

"How could the portal of Tor Laura suddenly explode out of control? But it's good that it exploded, and the remaining warlocks immediately used teleportation to escape back home. These Scoia'tael failed to kill more wizards."

"It's also thanks to us that we cleared out all the students and vacated the room before, otherwise this night..."

Speaking of this, Margarita's face was full of fear.

The Scoia'tael originally came here to increase the casualties of the northern wizards.

But now that the portal can be opened, those warlocks who are not good at fighting, injured and scared, and easy to kill immediately slipped away.

And the warlocks who stayed in the academy were basically well prepared, and the small light forces like the Scoia'tael dared not to provoke them.

So the Scoia'tael on the island basically had to be cleared out.

"He needs treatment!"

Triss found the small shield that Lan had stuffed into Geralt's collar. It was the [Early Recovery Stone] on it. The abundant and long-lasting vitality always kept Geralt alive. The red-haired sorceress said seriously.

"His injury won't get worse. I was just about to take him there. Where is Mattie? I remember she was saving a wizard." Lan said in an orderly manner. "And Gedimitis, how is he?"

"Gedimitis? Who could hurt him?!" Margarita and Triss both exclaimed with wide eyes.

Apparently, the island of Thanedd was in chaos, and no one knew who was going on.

"I can't explain it to everyone I meet," Lan said with a frown, "Where is Tissaya? You should be able to feel her huge power."

"She's over there." Margarita's eyes were slightly absent-minded, and then she pointed to the direction below the island of Thanedd.

"Ciri. Yennefer."

Geralt was still mumbling in his daze, and even wanted to prop up his upper body.

Triss was at a loss.

Lan held Geralt's collar by the back of his neck, gently kicked away his hand that wanted to support the ground, and tilted his head towards the sorceresses.

"Let him sleep first."

Reading the correct version! 6=9+book_ba first release novel

Even though the two sorceresses had just experienced a battle, it was still easy for them to hypnotize a seriously injured demon hunter.

Geralt fell into a deep sleep.

Looking at his persistent and painful friend, Lan En was not too worried about the little girl's safety, but he was not sure about Yennefer's current situation.

He had seen Ciri grow up with his own eyes, so although he was often a little worried about the little princess with gray hair, he was more worried that she would get into trouble, and would not pay too much attention to her personal safety.

Lan En still couldn't see the veins of the power of time, but since the Ciri he saw was already a big girl, she should not have gotten into trouble before reaching the age when they met.

Lan En also vaguely guessed about the power of Ciri.

Perhaps Vigfortz would rather use the genie's wishing spell to remove obstacles on the road ahead, but not directly wish to let Ciri come to his hands.

Perhaps in addition to the difficulty of carefully standardizing the words of the wishing spell for a while, it is the genie's wishing spell, and perhaps there is really no way to deal with Ciri.

Lan's [Body Light], this kind of high-level power that is deep enough to penetrate the essence, the wishing spell just couldn't penetrate it for a while. In the end, Lan seized the opportunity in that moment of gap and started a fight!

And the power that can travel through time and space is not too superficial.

Lan was not surprised that the Di Jing's wishing spell didn't work on her.

But thinking about it, Vigofortz's persistence in Ciri made Lan feel even more complicated.

In order to find Ciri, the wizard who provoked the entire night of betrayal was almost unsparing and unhesitating, and directly threw out the wishing spell!

People like Vigofortz always have to measure the benefits of any effort.

Lan can show his firm hostility to Nilfgaard for his own arrogance and anger. But Vigofortz is not such a person.

He paid the wishing spell to get Ciri, so it must be because the benefits of getting Ciri are greater than the wishing spell that he said twice at least.

What kind of reward did he want from Ciri?

Capture the girl alive and give it to Emperor Emhyr? In exchange for the Northern Kingdom, a governor of the northern province of the Nilfgaard Empire in the future?

Or a transcendent position in the vast territory of the Nilfgaard Empire in the future?

No, in Lan En's opinion, none of these things are worth paying for two wishes.

Mediocre people lack the ability to turn limited wishes into ideas for themselves to obtain a superior life.

Without insight, careful thinking and planning, they don't even know how to make wishes to maximize their benefits.

But for someone like Vigfortz, if he holds two wishes in his hands and activates them at a critical moment, maybe the Nilfgaard Empire will be his!

But he used them without hesitation in the process of chasing Ciri.

The intoxicating power and wealth are not worth mentioning in front of the wishing, and the wishing becomes a cheap item that can be decisively consumed in front of Ciri.

Vigfortz, what he pursued must be an incomparable precious thing - the power of time and space!

It was because before, Vigfortz used the second wishing spell on him without hesitation.

So Lan En immediately made a logical deduction with Mentos at that moment, and finally led to this answer.

Mortals, nobles, kings. People who seem noble and far-sighted only saw the legal claim of the royal bloodline and title of Cintra and inheritance rights on the girl.

But the power involved in the girl herself is far more precious than any power struggle of ordinary creatures. A thousand times! Ten thousand times!

But Lan En didn't know that he realized this because he saw Ciri, who traveled through time and space, appear in front of him and even kissed him.

But ordinary people, even ancient wizards like Gedimitis, are still in the stage of philosophical speculation on whether the power of time and space really exists.

Why did Vigfortz know the existence of this power and was sure that this power was in Ciri?

But thinking of this, Lan En shook his head.

The Seagull Tower had collapsed into a pile of ruins, and Vigfortz was almost split in two by himself. With such injuries, he should not be able to escape by himself through the portal.

But if he used the last wish, the genie who released the imprisonment would definitely kill the seriously injured prisoner with his own hands the next second after sending him away.

More likely, he would die directly in the explosion shock wave due to his serious injuries.

No matter how you think about it, this young and promising warlock should be dead.
