Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 347 346. The Priest’s Family

Gascoigne's home is next to a wide canal.

It may not be intuitive to say this.

The window of his house is next to a large ditch that is more than three meters wide and six meters deep, without a cover or fence.

The ditch seemed to be infrequently used, and there wasn't much water underneath, just a thin layer of silt.

It seems that to make it easier for people to enter the ditch, there is also a ladder directly pressed not far from the window of Gascoigne's house.

Lan En couldn't imagine what kind of mental state the designer of this kind of building must be in while working.

This is not yet an era where night lighting is widely available. Who would break their neck if they took a single step at night?

Still on the edge of a residential area!

"Yanan's architecture is very strange. They have all kinds of precision equipment, but the basic design is completely out of line with outside knowledge. Maybe it's because the city is built in the mountains, and terrain with high and low differences is very common. If not It’s hard to get used to the style here, but it’s not easy to settle down.”

Gascoigne explained this to the new strangers.

"But... there is no fence in such a deep canal. What should I do if I walk at night?"

"Walking at night?" Gascoigne asked with a strange smile, "After last night, do you still expect anyone in this city to go out at night?"

Lan En was speechless.

The two walked along the ditch for about half a minute, passing several coffins tied with chains, before arriving at the door of Gascoigne's house.

His home is no different from ordinary Yannan people.

The thick wooden doors and windows are equipped with strong iron fences. The iron fences are also wrapped with several turns of iron chains, and several locks are hung on the chains.

Insecurity makes every Yannan people's houses have similar configurations.

When they arrived at the door, Lan stood aside and Gascoigne knocked on the door.

In Yanam, slamming on the door is a very annoying and disturbing behavior.

Because that kind of sound makes people can't help but think of wild beasts trying to break into the door at night.

A brown-haired woman came out of the door, wearing a red knitted scarf as a shawl.

She has a slender and beautiful figure, which is in contrast to the strong Gascoigne, but it also matches well.

After seeing Gascoigne standing at the door, she stepped forward and hugged the priest very naturally, as if she had not smelled the smell of his foul blood.

Feeling that he was holding a living human body instead of a corpse, he seemed to let go of the stone in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

This seemed to be a habit between the two of them. Only after they separated did the woman see Lan En behind her.

"Hello, Ms. Viola."

Lan En greeted politely.

"Who is this?"

The brown-haired woman asked hesitantly. Gascoigne turned sideways to make the introduction.

"An unlucky foreigner who just arrived in Yanan last night. Now the church probably can't spare any time to arrange for him, so I plan to let him rest at home for a while."

The hostess was indeed as Gascoigne said.

After hearing about Lan En's current situation, he warmly invited him to stay for a few more days.

"Gascoigne only teams up with Uncle Henrik. I always feel that the two of them are not safe. It would be better if there is another hunter."

Viola said happily as she led Lan En towards the house.

"Although I'm not a hunter and don't know much, it's easier to do things when there are more people, right?"

Gascoigne smiled helplessly after listening to his wife's words. He took off his wide-brimmed hat and hung it on the coat hook by the door.

"I've told you many times, Viola. That's not what a hunter does."

But the hostess seems to have long since learned the skills of an old married couple.

She can automatically filter what her husband says and what she doesn't want to hear.

Gascoigne could only smile sheepishly at Lan En.

This is a cozy little house, and it can be seen that Viola put a lot of thought into decorating this home.

Scattered small decorations, spotless sofas, tablecloths, and shiny glass and tableware

"Is dad back?"

While shouting, the sound of two small leather shoes running on the wooden floor came from the back room.

The two little girls hurriedly ran from the back room to the living room. Then when they saw the stranger standing in the living room, they quickly stopped and became nervous.

They seemed to be twins. The two little girls wore the same small leather shoes, white socks, and plain dresses that looked like the uniforms of an early women's college.

The two look alike, sweet and well-behaved. They also inherited Viola's brown hair, but one had a pure white hairband on her head, and the other had a bright red hairband.

When they crossed Lan En and saw Gascoigne, their restraint when a stranger entered the house suddenly disappeared.

The girl with the red headband seemed a little bolder. She didn't get close to the hunter stained with animal blood, she just stood there and called "Daddy".

Gascoigne did not approach them, but waved with a gentle smile, and then introduced Lan En.

"My children, twins. The one with the white headband is my sister, Oliveira. The one with the red headband is my sister, Victoria."

"They're all lovely."

Lan En complimented half sincerely, half politely.

When visiting someone's home, you must first praise the children.

Ignore the "humanity +1" fireworks effect displayed on the retina by Mentos.

Lan En smiled at the two girls.

But my sister seems to be less courageous and shy. When both sisters' faces turned red, she took the lead and pulled her sister back behind the wall.

Behind Lan En, Gascoigne had already taken off his coat, which was stained with blood, and threw it into the bamboo basket.

"Take a shower first to clean up the blood."

Lan En nodded. Before he knew what lycanthropy was, it might be a safer choice to listen to the locals' advice.

The two of them washed their bodies in the bathroom one after another, and Viola prepared a set of Gascoigne's old clothes for Lan En.

Fortunately, the priest is not small, otherwise Lan En might not be able to pull it on.

Gascoigne's hunting clothes are easy to clean. In fact, the reason why most Yharnam hunters choose leather coats is because they can easily wash away the thick blood.

But when it comes to Lan En's armor, Viola doesn't have the skills of an armor cleaner. She's just a full-time wife.

Therefore, we can only leave it there and wait until the Healing Church has time to settle down Lan En.

Lan En didn't object, he just smiled and nodded.

He was actually somewhat inclined to leave Yharnam after a short break.

This city gave him too many feelings that something was wrong.

Whether it's the miraculous [Blood Therapy] or the weird animal transformation disease. Everything is wrong.

But since Gascoigne has promised to take care of his family when he goes out to buy incense today, it shouldn't be a big deal to delay him for a while.

After rinsing the blood stains from the lycanthropic patient, Viola had filled the table with sumptuous food.

It seemed that because of the hunter's schedule, as a hunter's wife, she also adjusted her cooking habits.

What was supposed to be the most sumptuous dinner was now moved to the morning.

By the time Lan En came out of the bathroom, Gascoigne's family had already sat at the dining table.

There was room for him at the table.
