Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 974 956. Old Conjurer

"Thank you, this is a great gift."

After putting on the silver cat ring, Lan En indeed felt that his body became much lighter. When you jump up and land, there will be an inexplicable smoke being stepped on, and then there will be no feeling of shock after landing.

Although this feeling of lightness cannot overcome his huge self-weight, it allows him to perform the [Light Body Technique] as freely as Ashina Ninja.

But it also greatly expanded his range of mobility.

In addition to the magic square stone ring that was obtained from the guard at the door of Osloais's palace, Lan En has already obtained two magic rings in this world.

In addition to the magic rings made by Triss to match the magic harness on Qilin, she wore three rings on her hands.

It feels a bit like a nouveau riche.

After Lan En accepted the ring, he also asked about what they were discussing just now.

"In other words, you have been looking for someone?"

Lann crossed his arms and nodded, asking Sirius.

"No wonder, I see that your actions have always been purposeful. But why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Sirius shook his head: "How many people in this world can be trusted enough to speak out?"

"If we hadn't fought together to put down the rebellion in Irushil, I still wouldn't want to come into contact with Rosalia's fingers."

"It's understandable."

Lan En expressed his understanding of Sirius's caution and his respect for paganism.

"Then can you tell me more about who you are looking for? Maybe I can help too?"

Sirius raised his head and glanced at Lan En. She still remembered that the other party asked her a lot of common sense questions that seemed 'ridiculous' in their previous contacts.

However, the frustration of getting nothing and the sense of urgency still drove Sirius to miss no opportunity.

The female knight of the Kingdom of Twilight sat on her knees on the steps, describing the characteristics of the person she was looking for.

The more Lan En listened, the more familiar it became.

"Excellent swordsmanship, especially good at using a small shield to perform [blocking] combat skills, a flame-shaped sword, and high-grade dusk-colored armor."

As Lan En muttered, Mentos also automatically embodied the descriptions on his retina.

Finally, the portrait after integrating various characteristics was the first normal person Lan En met after coming to this world.

Paladin Fodolink.

Sirius originally lowered his head after describing it, obviously not really hoping that Lan En had seen the person she was looking for.

but

"Can you tell me why you are looking for him?"

Lan En's obviously different response made Sirius look up sharply.

Generally, people who have never seen it will directly say "I haven't seen it" without saying any unnecessary words.

"Of course. If it involves some privacy that is difficult to disclose, it's okay to be brief. For example, what is your relationship?"

"Have you seen him? Where!?"

Rarely, Sirius showed obvious impatience.

And Lan En also speaks out.

"I did meet him, that's why I asked you about it."

The witcher stretched out one of his arms across his chest and spread his palm.

Meaning: Start talking.

Sirius's expression was very anxious, but he seemed to have learned here that regarding Lan En's impression of a "good Samaritan", Sirius still chose to speak out.

"He is. My grandfather. He is the most outstanding paladin in the Kingdom of Twilight."

The female knight lowered her head with a tangled expression. It's like falling into some kind of memory.

"Wow." Hazel next to her sighed with emotion.

Sirius stopped talking here, but Lan En could more or less imagine the cause and effect.

A highly respected paladin, Fodolink became undead at this time.

As a character who has great combat power but can go crazy at any time, it is natural for him to be kicked out.

"The last time I saw him wasn't that long ago, and the place wasn't that far away either. But I have to remind you."

After a moment of silence, Lan said to Sirius, and the female knight looked at the witcher seriously.

"There doesn't seem to be something right with him, Foldolink."

At that time, Lan passed by the undead settlement and met Fodolink again on the nearby hillside.

And the old knight who was still able to help strangers at the beginning has turned into a guy with a weird murderous aura, saying "become a family" and "serve the accumulator".

Lan En's words were very cautious. Although he didn't say everything clearly, in the current environment, the meaning was clearly expressed.

Sirius looked at him with a blank look in his eyes and murmured something in a low voice.

But after a moment of silence, Sirius took a deep breath and stood up.

"I understand. But this is also the moment when I need to fulfill my promise."

She looked at the witcher firmly.

"I need to know where he is, Lan."

Lan En didn't speak, just pursed his lips.

"If I understand correctly you want to kill him?"

"According to the agreement between me and grandpa. I will give him relief."

"Understood."

Lan En nodded with his eyes lowered, loosened the arms that were holding each other, and waved to Sirius.

"Come with me. It's not far there. You'll be there in a moment on my horse."

——

Although the wave of chaotic magic power was about to leave not far away, Lan En felt that he should still be rich after helping Sirius in the end.

The flannel ball was left in the Netherworld Church to pack things.

Although Lan En and the two of them didn't have much to pack when they arrived, they had gotten a lot of local specialties during this time.

For example, you can attach various states of rosin to weapons.

Although Lan En didn't have much use for it, Velvet Ball was very interested in things that could temporarily give special status to weapons, so Kitty collected a lot of them by himself.

Qilin was responsible for taking Lan En and Sirius to the undead settlement.

After walking this road several times, Qilin was able to easily avoid unnecessary risks on the way, and Lan End basically didn't have to worry about it.

Not long after, they boarded the unattended elevator and went up from the bottom of the tower on the Road of Living Sacrifice to the village.

The crows were still circling in the sky, and the corpses of the torturers on the roof had been chewed clean, leaving only the broken clothes blown away under the dim sky.

"That's where I last met him."

Lan En took Sirius to the hillside next to the cliff.

"Thank you." Sirius whispered. "I will look for traces of grandpa here. This village is not big. Even if there are secret passages and secret doors, I can find it in a few days."

"You saved me a lot of trouble, Lan."

"No, it's nothing."

The witcher shook his head and watched Sirius prepare to walk down the hillside to look for people in this village that was already full of wandering souls.

The female knight of the Kingdom of Twilight has a complicated expression under her silver headdress.

It can be seen that she doesn't want to find her grandfather, because then she will have to fight with Fodolink.

But at the same time, he encouraged himself to fulfill the agreement he made with his grandfather.

Lan En looked at Sirius' lonely and deserted back, frowned and opened his mouth.

"Sirius."

The female knight, who had walked a few steps away, turned around.

"Are you sure you want to do this? I mean, are you sure about the agreement Fuldolink made with you at that time?"

"Lan."

Before the witcher could finish speaking, Sirius looked seriously into his eyes and interrupted him.

"What would you do if one day you become a wandering spirit with no autonomy or consciousness and start killing anyone who comes close to you senselessly, without blood or tears?"

The demon hunter shook his head: "That is equivalent to death. All that is moving is a body."

"So, grandpa thinks so too."

Sirius didn't say much.

Lan En pursed his lips and nodded, and he took the lead and walked in front of Sirius.

"Follow me. Although it's been some time, I'm still a little confident in following the traces."

When the witcher passed by the female knight, the cold female knight who believed in the [Nameless Moon] whispered ‘thank you’.

Although she has said it many times along the way.

The witcher's perspective expanded, and the messy and sleepy world suddenly became colorful.

This period of time is not long, and there are no wild animals or people to disturb the traces.

Even the unconscious wandering souls mostly just turn in circles and wander in a limited place.

So Lan easily captured Fodolink's footprints.

The deep footprints represent the weight of armor and weapons. There is no feeling of sloppiness, which means the steps are steady and solid.

There are not many people with this kind of trait in this poor village.

Following the footprints all the way, the two found a strange guy locked in an iron cage on a tower of the Undead Settlement.

He wears natural clothing and decorations made of animal feathers, bones, cotton and linen.

It seems that being in an iron cage in a village full of wandering souls is a bit leisurely and contented.

This man's name is Cornicus, he comes from a place called Great Marsh, and he claims to be a magician.

After Lan En rescued him, he told him that he could seek refuge in the Deep Church, where a loving goddess was resting, and then go to the Cold Valley.

The old conjurer nodded with a smile, as if he was taking things easy.

Lan En was about to leave, so he didn't have any special thoughts about him, so he acted normally.

But Sirius seemed to express disgust and distance almost reflexively because of his identity as the 'Great Swamp Conjurer'.

Cornicus was used to Sirius' behavior.

On the contrary, Lan En's expression of "not knowing anything about the Great Marsh Conjurer" made him laugh like an old crow at the top of his voice.

"Netherworld Church, ah, I know. I will go, haha."

The iron cage holding him was already rusty, and the Lake Lady's Sword easily cut through the lock, and the old magician walked out unsteadily.

"Ah, let me ask one more question, young man."

The old conjurer patted Lan En's shoulder with his thin palm.

"You don't seem to be averse to spells. How about it? Do you want to learn a few tricks from me?"

"Casting a spell?" The demon hunter scratched his cheek.

"Casting spells, you have to say so. Yes, we magicians can indeed cast spells."

"Do you think I have the potential to learn magic?"

After Lan finished speaking, Cornicus and Sirius showed strange expressions at the same time.

The old conjurer who wanted to teach his disciples simply asked: "Why do you think you can't cast spells? You have a smart mind and a firm belief and you still can't cast spells? What's the truth?"

Lan En raised his eyebrows. It seemed that the requirements for spellcasting in this world were different from those in the Magical Middle Ages.

Maybe it's possible for me to cast spells as a witcher?
