Astartes of the Bear School Chapter 433

Chapter 433 432. Underground river hole

 “I have never been to Hainkaweh Castle.”

 Lan repeated and emphasized again.

 Gede was still stunned.

 “No, wait, is the situation what I think it is?”

 He hesitated and asked Lan En in disbelief.

 The young man nodded.

“It's just what you think, I was trained as a witcher outside after the castle was abandoned.”

 “.Meritelli.”

Ged swallowed, his eyes widened.

“Heinkawih has been abandoned for less than thirty years. How old are you? Who gave you the mutation?”

 “Nineteen, no, twenty years old. Bourdon is my mentor.”

 “Bordon?!”

When Gede heard the name, he showed an even more disbelieving expression than when he heard Lan En's age.

“That 'big ice cube' has the coldest heart in the castle! How could he have the heart to continue the school of thought and cultivate successors?”

“I am his accidental son. He spent so much time and effort mutating me out of fear of fate, not because he wanted to preserve the school.”

 Lan En explained nonchalantly.

"Actually, rather than saying that I am an apprentice, I am his spy? Forward? In short, it is a death squad. Therefore, the suit I am wearing now was originally taken off his corpse."

Gede walked on the mud in silence, and then let out a sigh.

".Hey, this is indeed what those 'ice cubes' can do. It must be very difficult for you to kill him. He is not young, and his experience, physical strength, and magic power are very powerful."

"I was originally surprised that you are very powerful at your young age, but think about it, you were working as a forward under that guy Bordon, and you survived to kill him. You should be powerful, and there is nothing to envy. ”

 The demon hunters of the Bear School are probably the most miserable besides the Cat School.

 The school should have been a second home for demon hunters in a world full of discrimination against mutants.

However, the indifferent atmosphere of the Bear School leaves members with no sense of belonging.

 “You should be able to see that I am not short of money.”

Lan En spoke softly, and his voice spread out in the dark and silent mausoleum, turning into the sound of wind like a sigh.

 “I took this mission this time to find you.”

"Find me?"

"Yes. I want to find the armor blueprints of a more advanced school. But I have never been to Hainkawehe, so I can only look for traces near the Amer Mountains. I heard that there is a demon hunter from the Bear School here, I will continue the task as well."

 “I understand, it's easy to talk about.”

Gede agreed very simply. He was originally an enthusiastic and straightforward character.

“Our castle was ransacked by the mob, but the main part is still there. I can take you there. Although there are no ready-made blueprints, we can go all the way to find the dwarf settlement in the mountains. The school's blueprints were designed by them.”

Gede's words confirmed Berengar and Lane's guesses—

The members who originally separated from the Witcher Order did not have high-level craftsmen. Their unique armor is the result of the help of dwarves.

 “Whoops~Thanks, Gede.”

Lan En whistled relaxedly. With the members of the Bear School's castle period leading the way, he could spend less time wandering around in the vast Amer Mountains.

Gede waved his hand to him, indicating that he didn't need to worry.

Now that the armor blueprint has been agreed upon, all that remains is to quickly complete this task that is mixed with royal grudges.

 The two of them walked for a while in this mausoleum converted from elven ruins.

 The original purpose of the Elven Ruins cannot be seen, but it has opened many small rooms, which are now used to store thick sarcophagi.

 A layer of water that was enough to cover the base covered the ground, and the mushrooms and weeds that originally grew on the stone floor were submerged under the water.

 This made Lan En feel that something was wrong.

 The heavy rain some time ago was indeed quite heavy, after all, everyone said so. But could that heavy rain really fill the tomb with so much water?

They have walked almost two kilometers underground, but the water seems to show no signs of decreasing or drying up! Lan En suddenly frowned and stopped. He took out the Lake Lady's Sword from his waist, and then gently inserted the tip of the sword into the water.

Gede didn't know what he was doing, but he didn't say much.

　　　.The water is flowing.”

Lan En's [Spiritual Vision] captured the very slight disturbance of the water flow as it crossed the blade.

This is not a diffuse ripple caused by the footsteps of two people, but a sign of the flow of water.

“The monster that attacked you is not a species native to the tomb, Gede.”

 After understanding this, Lan En sheathed the blade again.

“They came in from a certain channel. Together with the water, there is a high probability that it is an underground river.”

 “Is this good news?”

Gede sneered.

“At least it shows that people in this country still respect tradition and the deceased. Pull it down, it just shows that we have a lot of trouble.”

“What a bad luck! This elf ruins are at least thousands of years old! Why did we make a loophole at this time when we came here to make money? Bah!”

 He sounded resentful, which Lan understood.

After all, if one day I almost die at the hands of characters like water ghosts and evil ghosts, then I will definitely be extremely unwilling to do so.

 “That's the problem, Gerd.”

The sound of wading in the water sounded again, and Lan began to lead Gede towards the source of the water flow.

“Will the elven ruins that have been stable for thousands of years have a hole because of a heavy rain? Even if the heavy rain makes the underground water flow become turbulent, the scene that this building has experienced in thousands of years is not greater than this?”

 “You mean?”

“That loophole was broken, and something came in through that gap. That's what I guessed.”

 In the cold, damp and dark ruins mausoleum, there was only the sudden sound of splashing water.

The underground is already cool, but after the groundwater spreads in, it becomes even colder.

 Ordinary people in this kind of environment would probably stretch their nerves to the limit in the cold and fear.

It would not be incomprehensible if at this moment something terrifying appeared in the tomb and the only survivor went crazy.

But for the two demon hunters, breaking into haunted houses, breaking curses, and strangling demon spirits are their daily tasks.

 “If that is the case.”

Gede's voice did not tremble at all, but analyzed calmly.

"Then the demon spirit also has an explanation. The thing that broke in carried some kind of object rich in chaotic magic power, or the thing itself had magic power. Then the chaotic magic power stimulated the soul in the tomb and produced the demon spirit."

The two walked while talking, and soon reached the deepest part of the mausoleum.

 The wall here was supposed to be a moss-covered, exquisite Elf-style stone mural. But now, the marble blocks that made up the mural were scattered on the ground, as if they had been smashed into pieces by something.

 A huge hole occupies more than half of the wall.

 Outside the big cave, the sound of the underground river can be heard endlessly.

“That thing is very powerful, and its size is not small.”

Gede stroked the fracture marks at the entrance of the cave and murmured.

As he was speaking, his fingers brushed against a stone brick that had been smashed but was stuck but did not fall off.

The stone brick was affected by external force, and the structure that originally held it was destroyed. The debris fell down and smashed into the water layer on the ground.

 The vibrations create waves in the body of water.

 Nearly an instant later, the two roaring bear head badges trembled at the same time!
