Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 880 862. Tongue pulling out (3000)

But in the silent atmosphere, Leonard slowly raised the crescent-shaped curved sword in his hand, and the outer blade of the arc-shaped crescent moon pointed at Lan En and Velvet Ball.

"Don't worry about anything else."

Under the silver mask, a calm and gentle voice came out.

"Can you explain where this talking cat and the horse outside came from? When you went to fetch a bucket of water, you not only found two traveling companions, but also attracted a wolf possessed. Can you give An explanation?"

"Otherwise, I can only think that you are a dirty bastard who has evil intentions towards the goddess and got in."

Velvet Ball had already polished his sword. Seeing that the situation was not quite right, he looked up at Lan En.

The demon hunter lowered his blade, indicating that he had no ill intentions.

"You are a little too sensitive, Leonard. The flannel ball and the horse outside were originally with me. I am a traveler who got lost here, remember?"

"I will always be so sensitive for Rosalía's sake. Get rid of anything that could hurt her."

Leonard under the silver mask said unmoved.

At the same time, Lan En noticed a faint green light on the crescent-shaped blade.

"stop."

A gloomy and deep voice sounded from behind Leonard.

Archbishop Klimt was walking nearby, and he was still followed by the two iron tower-like church knights.

Leonard's silver mask turned slightly, but he did not put down the knife in his hand obediently.

Judging from the tone of the archbishop and Leonard, the two have different statuses. But judging from Leonard's actions, the binding force of this upper and lower status is not strong.

The archbishop didn't say much, he just came over silently to observe the body of the man possessed by the wolf on the ground.

After taking a few glances, he silently raised his head and asked the few people who had dealt with the monster a question.

"Are you sure? There was a scary red light in its eyes just now?"

Fluffy Ball, Lan En, and Leonard all nodded.

The demon hunter keenly noticed that after they gave a positive answer, the archbishop's face under the gray beard twitched slightly.

It was as if he was suppressing his emotions after hearing something that was definitely not good.

Those red eyes represented certain problems, and Klimt didn't want others to know about them.

Lan En speculated silently in his heart.

The truth was exactly what he thought.

"It's just a fish that slipped through the cracks in the wall of the abandoned fortress. Don't worry about it."

Klimt's voice was smooth and he said words that no one would believe.

"Put the weapon down, Leonard."

Now, there are many people in the camp watching here.

After all, this is where the chaos breaks out, and it looks like the 'chaos' isn't over yet.

Klimt didn't mean to speak for Lan En, he just had to suppress the aftermath as soon as possible to prevent issues that could not be known to others from being noticed.

Lan En saw this, raised the corners of his mouth slightly, and called Qilin over with his magic ring, and stood beside him.

Since the Archbishop wanted to put the matter under control as soon as possible, he might as well take this opportunity to let Qilin and Velvet Ball join the convoy.

"This is my lost horse and friend."

Klimt looked at it and, as expected, didn't say anything more and just nodded.

Instead, it was Leonard. After he took a deep breath under the silver mask, he put down the blade in his hand that was already faintly glowing with green light.

"I will report to Rosalía what happened today."

He still sounded obsessed with anything that might harm the goddess.

"Yes, report it."

After Klimt glanced at him, he asked the two church knights behind him to grab the body on the ground and walk towards the goddess's carriage.

"Even if you don't tell me, I will tell the goddess."

Later, Lan En took Fluffy Ball and Qilin to sit down by the campfire.

These two guys really looked much calmer under the light of the flames. Although I still occasionally look at the darkness in the distance with lingering fear, my mind is much clearer at least.

Lan En, on the other hand, was watching the movement in the center of the camp, near the goddess's carriage, in secret.

Klimt and Leonard knelt down in front of the goddess respectively and stated their opinions.

When the church knight behind him picked up the body of the wolf-possessed person, Rosalia seemed to already know the cause and effect of this thing.

But she never said a word from beginning to end, she just lowered her head and shook her head sadly.

Finally, the body of the wolf-possessed man whose body was separated was taken and burned by the church knights.

But this method of handling it is actually unreasonable. Even an outsider like Lan En, who has just learned about some undead people, knows this.

The Frank Undead Team is an army of undead people, and these wolf-possessed people must be the undead people who came to accept the test and failed in the end.

But burning undead people with fire cannot completely kill them, and it can't even delay their resurrection.

Because only by bleeding but preserving the body can the resurrection process be delayed. Burning the undead entirely will only allow them to resurrect normally as usual.

The corpse’s ‘red eyes’ should be a unique feature. It is precisely because of this characteristic that Klimt must adopt this method of treatment.

Lan En once again confirmed his point of view in his heart.

Next to the camp, among the ruins where the magicians from the Behem Dragon Academy were entrenched, some sentries discovered what had happened here.

But they seemed to not want to get involved no matter how things developed, so they just poked their heads at the wall and stopped paying attention to what was going on here.

"Relax, kid, relax."

While Lan En was thinking, the sound of flesh pupating on the ground came from beside him.

When he turned around, he saw that it was a maggot man clawing at the ground with his hands, crawling towards this side.

His facial features have been blurred like melted wax during the process of 'rebirth', but at least they still retain their original functionality.

It's just that when he spoke, it was a bit slurred, as if he had a mouthful of phlegm stuck in his mouth.

The velvet ball jumped onto Lan En's back with a 'meow', and Qilin also stood up from its comfortable prone position.

"Oh, it seems that my appearance scared you? I'm really sorry."

Maggot Man unexpectedly made Lan En feel kind.

So the witcher struggled to overcome the visual discomfort.

Lan En didn't want to be a guy who judged people by their appearance, but it was the nature of creatures to satisfy their own vision, so he could only use his will to overcome his nature.

Fortunately, during the training of [Memory Diving], Lan En has been doing this for a long time. To combat the perfectionist nature of the Emperor's Children.

He comforted Velvet Ball and Qilin, and moved his buttocks to sit closer to Maggot Man.

"Do you know anything? About the wolf-possessed man?"

"You know?" The maggot man supported his body with his hands, trying hard to hold up his body with only a ball of flesh left, and shook his head.

"How do I know those things? I just feel that you are uneasy."

"Yes." Lan En did not refute. "Darkness, and monsters in the darkness. Who can feel at ease when encountering these?"

"But don't worry, for we are with the goddess, young man."

Maggot Man seemed to feel tired from holding up his body, so he simply lay down with his face tilted and spoke.

"The [Mother of Rebirth] will protect us, she is compassionate and generous."

"What's the worst that can happen? It's just like me. It will get better after a while."

Maggot Man seems quite optimistic. This is the first optimistic guy that Lan En has met since he came to this world.

"Although I'm really scary when I look like this, haha."

As he said this, Maggot Man himself was so amused that he gasped and laughed.

"So, you're here to sell me faith? Preacher?"

Lan En then laughed and said to the maggot man.

"Preacher? I don't have the tongue. Rosalia is there, and you will see what she does. You will know that her compassion and gentleness are enough to be loved by all creatures."

The maggot man lay on the ground and raised his hands. This action probably meant "spreading his hands."

"If you still don't believe it after seeing it with your own eyes, then what's the use of my words? If it's really useful, then I'm not more powerful than the goddess, haha!"

Maggot Man's optimistic attitude made Lan En feel very comfortable, so he simply came closer and asked in a low voice.

"Then I'm a little curious. What will your body look like in the end?"

"What will we become? Haha, we are angels!"

The maggot man didn't seem to mind at all when Lan En pointed at his tail, then hesitated to speak, and opened his hands generously to show himself.

"Angel?"

"After we transform, we will become human again, taller and stronger, and we will also grow wings with white feathers and have the ability to fly. That kind of appearance is called an [angel] by us."

"Actually, my transformation is almost complete, so I am in the mood to come and comfort you."

As he said that, the maggot man's palm appeared different from the golden light emitted by the priests just now. It was a pure white light.

Along with the white light, white falling feathers appeared, and then disappeared simultaneously with the white light.

"What's this?"

Lan En looked at this scene curiously, and the flannel ball showed half of his face from behind, looking at it curiously as well.

"This is a [miracle] that belongs to angels. It's just that I didn't hold the amulet or the holy bell just now. There is no catalyst and the spell cannot be activated."

Maggot Man said nonchalantly.

"This [miracle] is a story told by an angel to the Saint Gerard, and the Saint compiled and spread the story."

[Miracle], this spell is a kind of ‘story’? It is a magical system that relies on telling stories, understanding stories, and believing in stories to cast spells.

While marveling at the new knowledge, Lan En concluded based on what the maggot man said.

"In other words, the goddess Rosalia can make people reborn as angels, and the angels tell the story to Saint Gerard?"

"That should be it." Maggot Man waved his hands, "The more specific thing is the story between gods. Who can tell clearly?"

"It's a pity that the goddess suffered at the beginning."

"The pain the goddess suffered?"

Lan En asked unclearly.

Maggot Man didn't shy away from anything. He just clasped his hands and lowered his head in the direction of the goddess's frame while whispering.

"The believers who initially sought to be 'reborn' were irritable and eager. After they turned into maggots, they became angry and together with the believers who were frightened but had not yet been 'reborn', they pulled out the tongue of the goddess. So much so that the goddess is now unable to speak. .”
