Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 804 786. Goodbye

"There is a rugged and winding mountain road outside Kaer Morhen."

Berengar swayed on the horse while explaining to Lan En, Flannel Ball, and Qilin who had just arrived.

After more than a month of traveling, he has become accustomed to ignoring appearances and treating kittens and unicorns as intelligent creatures.

"This mountain road is basically pure and natural. It has not undergone any artificial repairs. It has even been artificially made more difficult. We call it 'Killer Road' and it is for new young people to practice their physical fitness and reflexes. Many young people are on it. Broken necks on this road.”

They had now reached the plank bridge over the moat of Kaer Morhen Castle.

Although the castle is in dilapidation, the former moat has gradually turned into a stream due to lack of repair, and green grass and wild flowers have grown.

But after all, there is a height difference of about ten meters from the ground. People from the Wolf School usually use this bridge to enter and exit the castle.

"Are these the people who broke their necks while running on the 'Killer Road'?"

Lan En sat on Qilin's back. Following his question, Qilin, Velvet Ball, and himself stretched their heads to the side and looked down curiously.

Under the moat that had turned into a stream, there were many human skeletons scattered and shapeless.

Even with Lan En and Mentos's eyesight and calculation power, these bones were so fragmented that they couldn't tell how many people were thrown down here.

"These? These are not." Berengar also tilted his head under the bridge on his side. After seeing the skeletons submerged in the grass and streams, he said as if he just remembered.

"These are warnings."

"What warning meow?"

The flannel ball moved its shoulders on Lan En's body, and moved closer to Berengar to ask.

The old witcher had nothing bad to say.

"Like most schools of witchers, Kaer Morhen was also besieged by mobs, and almost everyone in the castle died."

"Were wizards involved?"

Lan En suddenly turned around and asked.

Unlike the people in the Bear School who have no affection for their school and the castle at all, so they simply break up the gang when they encounter trouble, the demon hunters of the Wolf School are united and have a sense of belonging.

Considering the terrain and structure of Kaer Morhen, it would be a bit of a joke to say that a mob could capture such a dangerous castle.

Because the Bear School disbanded on the spot, the main building structure of Hainkawehe Castle of the Bear School was not damaged at all during the mob's attack, but the objects inside were looted.

But with the ruins of Kaer Morhen now, it looked like a battle.

"Aren't you talking nonsense?" Berengar spat towards the moat and cursed in a low voice.

"Without warlocks and engineering equipment, ordinary people use their heads to break through the city wall?"

"Even the preliminary propaganda that incited these mobs used information from an unknown warlock's research on witchers. This slanderous research is still being circulated on the market, and it is the book "Freaks, Or..." Description of the Witcher."

Berengar said as they walked, they had already seen the ruins of Kaer Morhen backed by a steep stone wall.

The half-dismantled trapezoidal city wall, the remnants of the barbican and city gate, and the rough and sturdy main building of the castle.

As they walked across the bridge, the sound of horses' hooves changed from the 'dong-dong-dong' of stepping on the thick wooden boards to the 'dap-dap-dap' of stepping on the stones.

An iron grille door appeared in front of them. Behind the worn iron door was a dark corridor.

These are castles for military purposes, designed to consume the enemy's forces when facing an attack.

But there is no doubt that a military castle that does not have enough manpower to operate is just a place where you can sightsee at will.

"If I were you, I wouldn't play any 'suddenly appearing behind' trick in front of us."

Lan En, who was riding a unicorn, didn't even turn his head and just kept talking to himself.

"Geralt, no one here is a layman. The sound of your footsteps is very light in ordinary ears, but at this moment, it is not light enough."

We officially entered the front yard of Kaer Morhen Castle, which was much wider than the previous bridges and corridors, allowing Lan En to control Qilin to turn around.

The tall and elegant horse turned its head. On the gatehouse of the city wall behind them, [White Wolf] wearing casual clothes was inserting the sword back into the scabbard on his back.

Lan En raised his head and greeted the witcher on the gatehouse of the city wall with a smile.

"Long time no see, White Wolf."

"Yeah, long time no see."

Geralt's deep and hoarse voice was still very recognizable, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this time.

He turned over and jumped down from the gatehouse. He first landed on the roof of the stable below, and then jumped to the ground.

Lan En and Berengar also dismounted their horses. The young demon hunter stepped forward. Geralt and Lan En opened their hands in unison, and the two hugged.

Not being pretentious, they both patted their backs and separated.

That's enough for them.

"Ha, are you okay?"

Geralt smiled, while speaking a little worriedly and tentatively.

He was an old man compared to Lan En. Before the battle was over, he felt that something was wrong with Lan En's spirit.

But now it seems that his worries were in vain.

Lan En smiled casually and sincerely, without any cover-up or coyness. As soon as this smile appeared, most of Geralt's worries disappeared.

"I've had a good rest."

After the friends said hello, Geralt turned to look at Berengar.

Although Geralt had already obtained Berengar's Demon Hunter steel and silver swords, after he escaped from the mud pit of the war, he also heard about this emerging steel that was in the spotlight.

But this is indeed the first meeting between the two wolf schools.

"Master Berengar?"

Geralt asked uncertainly, until the old demon hunter looked him up and down and nodded, which was considered an answer.

"Thank you for the swords they are amazing, I have never used a sword that was so light, strong and sharp."

"This shows that you still have some vision and are lucky."

The greetings between the two wolf schools were not as warm as the greetings between Lan En and the bear school.

But Lan En is not surprised. Geralt has a slow temper, and Berengar has complicated feelings about his school. This situation is true and expected, and it will be better if he has more contact with him.

Geralt stepped forward to help, led Pope to the stable, and began to remove the saddle and various things from him to relax the horse.

He is a veteran, and he has almost a hundred horses that have passed through his hands.

But when he wanted to help Lan En, the demon hunter from the Bear School declined him.
