Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 782 764. Chasing mutations

"Also, don't pay attention to what this bastard Taller says. Although I do think there is no harm in letting Yada communicate with you, she still has to spread the bloodline for my family after all. I remember that witchers cannot have children. Wait. , are you an exception?"

After saying that, Foltest confirmed to Lan En quite seriously.

"Okay, now you, the king, are here to collect information?"

Lan En shook his head.

"I shouldn't be able to have children, right?"

"Really, what a pity." Foltest sighed, "Although you are only a first-generation noble, I still hope that you can have a child with Yada."

"Oh, then you hope."

Lan Enpi responded with a smile.

In the aristocratic class, the naked and cold inheritance of family, lineage and power made Lan En feel a little uncomfortable.

They really are a bit like pimps. The blind date requires the woman to be present.

Foltest, on the other hand, keenly sensed Lan En's unhappiness. Although he didn't understand why based on his experience, he still responded quickly and changed the subject.

"You know, there are actually more than just Temerians in this village."

"The news that Kaedwen, Aedirn, Redania, and even the northernmost Kovira often haunted here was sorted out at the first time. Later, in order to send people over, they contacted Temeria's border trade Benefits were given in the agreement."

"So, in fact, I have benefited from you."

Foltest looked at the demon hunter sincerely: "Do you want a share? I've prepared it over there, including the accounts, and you can check it yourself."

"This can be said separately, but... you take advantage of others, then turn around and point out the people who came here, isn't it a bit?"

Lan En didn't finish his words, but his meaning was very clear.

Foltest didn't refute, just sighed.

"Hey, I promised them that they could let the spies in, but I didn't promise to help them hide it. Just like the fisherman you met when you first came in, he is the Redanian intelligence chief and a subordinate of Dijkstra."

"And, I sincerely hope you won't reveal anything crucial in front of them."

"for example?"

"For example." Foltest paused and whispered. "A witcher's knowledge of mutations."

Lan En's hand holding the wine glass froze in mid-air. Although it returned to normal after a short time, it was indeed a long time compared to his reaction speed.

Foltest's words uncontrollably brought Lan En's thoughts back to the past.

He once communicated with the great master of the Wolf School in the Brok Leon Forest, hoping to get the opportunity to further his studies at the Wolf School.

It was also for this reason that Vesemir opened the door to Kaer Morhen to him after finally recognizing his morals and thoughts.

The sudden change of the demon hunter made Lan En miserable for seven days.

Next to Lan En, Foltest's voice continued calmly.

"Based on Taller's intelligence summary."

The Temerian intelligence leader sitting on the other side of Lan En bowed slightly dramatically.

"It's been a fucking honor to serve you."

Foltest continued.

"In the past few months since you disappeared, the number of witcher commissions issued by nobles and state agencies in the northern countries has increased sixty-seven times."

"Those monsters that have been wreaking havoc for a long time but rarely come close to human settlements, and only kill one or two unlucky ones a year, and no one ever thinks they need to be cleaned up, suddenly all become very harmful and can't be ignored. It's interesting, right? "

"But maybe it's because all demon hunters have received basic education and have seen the dangers of the world, so few commissions have been taken up so far. By the way, this makes me respect this profession even more. .”

Thaler interjected from the side.

During the witcher's brief silence, Foltest put down his glass, looked at Lann seriously, and made suggestions.

"I have heard about your mutation process, Sir Lann. Mutation, distortion, and huge risks. At the beginning of this operation, Arzu and his teacher Malaspina have consumed the lives of countless young people. , creating countless monsters that were so deformed that they lost their human form."

"With the investment of resources from several countries instead of just two warlocks, the scale of the experiment is simply unimaginable. We must learn from the lessons of our predecessors and let this kind of surgery disappear."

"No more people should die from this twisted surgery."

Foltest took good care of the children kidnapped by Lann after he killed Stysa.

Although this was also for his political purposes, it gave Lan En some recognition for him.

This is still a humane king.

From what he said about the situation, Lan En also felt that it was indeed possible.

His power was so impressive in the last war that it was even terrifying.

Although the demon hunters basically feel that it is the same as talking about the heavenly book, other people who are blinded by the power will not be as calm as the demon hunters who have experienced mutation and transformation.

The demon hunters know that they cannot reach even one percent of Lan En's level at that time, but do others believe it?

Do they think this is because the mutation formulas of other demon hunters have not been completed well?

Do they think that they actually have a chance to regain this power?

Lan En's destructive power alone in that war far exceeded that of all the small countries in the north.

As long as those small countries succeed once, their military strength will be greatly improved, and they will not have to spend any money on the logistics and maintenance of this military force.

For military investment, there is simply no business more cost-effective than this.

Ideas breed ambition, and ambition tramples on human nature.

"I will instruct all the demon hunters I can contact to abolish or take care of the mutation knowledge of their respective schools."

Lan En touched his chin and said thoughtfully.

"But after all, I don't know everyone in all the schools, so I can only do my best."

Foltest raised his glass to Lan En: "As long as we can prevent the mutation knowledge from spreading, we have saved a lot of people."

After the witcher drank the cup of herbal wine, which he didn't like very much, he stood up and left the tavern.

The king of Temeria, the king's bodyguard, and the intelligence chief were still sitting inside.

Taller's hand reached towards the cup Lane had used.

"Don't touch it. Roche, take it and wash it."

Foltest scolded without looking back, and the loyal bodyguard immediately obeyed, while the intelligence chief curled his lips and smiled.

"We are already friends with him. Our previous contacts and style of conduct have made him have a favorable impression of us. This is an advantage."

"Arethusa College is in Temeria, and our relationship with the college has always been good, which is also an advantage."

"Don't destroy your own advantages just because of a little bit of it. Do you still need me to teach you, Taller?"

"No." The intelligence chief tilted his head and spat on the ground with a smile, "I just want to see if you are still awake, Your Majesty. In the face of such a beautiful and decisive power."

Foltest glanced at his intelligence chief angrily.

"I should take a chance and chop your head off, Taller. Do you know how many times I've wanted to do that?"

“It doesn’t matter how many times you think about it, what’s important is that you always stay in the ‘thinking’ stage rationally.”

Foltest's mouth twitched in response to the intelligence chief's nonsense, but he finally controlled his emotions.

"How are the fishing boats and fishermen prepared?" the king asked softly. "We can now confirm that every time he comes here he goes to that island and then disappears for several months."
