Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 37 37. Goth Velen

Although Lan En is still deeply wary of the "cannibal gang", he has already told the person in charge of the security patrol in Willen about his suspicions. What else can he do?

 A lone hero, going straight to Huanglong?

 No kidding, the cannibal gang must have at least dozens of people. Only a group of this size can develop the "rituality" represented by the palm necklace.

witchers are not gods, and no one is stupid enough to think that one sword can deal with dozens of swords.

 With dozens of swords, the mage will chop you to death!

 As for Philip's choice, Lan En had nothing to say.

The crime of stealing children is difficult to compare with cannibalism in terms of seriousness, and the same is true in terms of influence.

And the scale of child theft is obviously larger, so there is nothing wrong with giving priority to this case.

Lann could only hope that those cannibal gangs wouldn't cause any big trouble before Viren's security forces were freed up.

The young man did not stay in the crow's nest for long, so he rode away with his damaged school armor.

Before leaving, he asked Philip to leave a message to Oridon, saying that he needed to go to Gos Velen and did not want to break the contract.

The blacksmith Ivan would come to Crow's Nest regularly to buy raw materials. It was not difficult to send a message, and Philip readily agreed.

There is nothing much to say about traveling alone. Fortunately, Mentos also has excellent chat functions.

Moreover, if nothing happens, Lan En can also entertain himself by humming a few ditties.

Although when humming a tune, Mentos always suddenly stopped talking.

But this at least prevented Lan En from confiding his feelings to Poppy.

 It feels a little too pathetic to be so lonely as to talk to a horse.

Passing through swamps and villages, and occasionally seeing abandoned houses and farmland, the scenery of Willen has a gloomy beauty, but it is extremely bright in color composition.

 Flowers of various colors, clear clouds, trees and pools

 Lan En felt that even if he took the camera from his home world, the photos he took and retouched them would not have the same color contrast.

The running journey passed quickly, and he followed the map and arrived at this coastal city that he had never been to before.

Surrounded by high walls, towering steeples and glittering tops. On the other side of the city is the sea. The gray-green sea surface reflects the morning sun, and dots of white sails are scattered among it.

 This is the first settlement worthy of the name "city" that young people have seen in this world.

 Although Mentos estimated that the city of this place could have at most five thousand residents, it was already considered a large number in this world.

 In the poor and vicious land of Velen, it is even more like a "pearl".

Lann wore a hooded cloak, burying his cat eyes in the shadows.

The city gate guards are people who have seen the world, and this mysterious dress is completely indifferent to them.

 No one can escape the few silver coins from the city entry tax.

Lan En carefully counted out enough silver coins from the money bag and handed them to the city gate guard.

The tall and mysterious man carrying two swords and wearing a cloak, sitting on a horse and counting money seriously, is a bit inconsistent.

 After Lan En left, several city gate guards blew water on each other.

“That person just now, I thought he was a big shot when he was wearing a cloak. But it turned out that the way he counted money was no different from that of an ordinary businessman.”

"With two swords on his back, I thought he was a powerful mercenary. Who will count the entrance fee for a famous mercenary? Can the person counting the money be a famous person?"

 Amidst the laughter of the city gate guards, the corners of Lan En's mouth twitched slightly.

“You don’t know how to save money and manage your finances. You deserve to be a gate guard for the rest of your life! Attack the streets!”

"Indeed." Mentos immediately followed him like a dog, "Dare to ridicule you, this is a way to die! He can't even catch up with a guard captain in this life!"

 The young man suddenly raised his chest and raised his head, with a reserved look on his face.

　　It can be seen that it feels very comfortable to be licked, "Soak up the smell, Mentos."

 His mind, brain, and heart are like mirrors, and his tone immediately changes to a polite, thoughtful and elegant tone.

 “As you wish, sir.”

 The young man nodded with satisfaction.

 After entering the city gate, it is equivalent to stepping onto Caddo Street.

 According to Philip's introduction, this street runs through the entire city, linking the city gate and the sea gate.

Extending from this street across the sea gate is equivalent to stepping on the bridge to Xianide Island.

That is the island where the Sorceress Academy, Arethusa, is located. The witcher's eyes followed the street directly through this small city and looked towards Haimen.

There is already a light blue flat light curtain covering it, like a blockade?

Haven't you heard that Arethusa College has a closed management system?

Lan En’s brows frowned slightly.

 In fact, more than half of the entire economy of Gos Velen is contributed by the mages in the academy.

Based on this economic relationship, the way colleges and towns get along should never be this "separated".

 But Maoyan looked at the reactions of the people around him and saw that he did not squint when he passed the light curtain, and was neither nervous nor afraid.

 Not even curious.

Lan En then shrugged. It seemed that the problem was not big. Maybe this was the daily life of the academy.

 The people here are very receptive to spells. After all, even the princes and nobles in remote areas may not see as many spells in their lifetime as the residents here.

Maybe you can come here to find business in the future.

Lan En was thinking about it all the time.

Following the guide described by Philip, he soon found the blacksmith shop that he heard had "passed the master's certificate in Novigrad".

The young man looked at the store and repeatedly confirmed that he had found the right one.

 There is no stove, no forging table, and no grinding wheel. From the outside, it looks like a clothing store.

 Typical wooden structure commercial building.

 But as soon as he entered, Lan En immediately knew that he had come to the right place.

This is indeed a "clothing store", but what is displayed on the display racks is not some high-end tights made of soft velvet.

Rather, it is a piece of strong and sturdy armor.

 Lan En's movement of entering the door disturbed the bell at the door, alerting the store that a customer was coming.

 Inside the store, there was a stocky turbaned dwarf and a blonde girl with braids.

 They were busy working behind the counter. Well, it cannot be said to be "busy work".

To Lan En, that action was obviously playing cards.

When the dwarf saw the guests coming, he stood up suddenly as if he had been granted amnesty, "Aha! There are guests here, get up Yuna, don't make people feel unprofessional!"

If he hadn't flipped the card table with a big movement when he stood up, Lan might have believed in his enthusiasm for his customers.

His opponent at the card table didn't believe it either, and the girl with braided blond hair screamed.

　　"Fergus! You were about to lose just now, you son of a bitch, don't even think about defaulting! Give me that earth element!"

　　Wow, you are quite aggressive.

The young man was slightly stunned.

The dwarf has a huge rosacea that fits the stereotype, but his groomed beard cannot hide his wrinkle-free face.

This guy is eighty years old, so he is considered a young dwarf.

He quickly rushed from the card table to the counter and began to say hello to Lan En.

Even if the reception was entered, the girl could only stare and stop.

 “Welcome, guest. Welcome to Master Tull Butcher’s smithy.”

"If you need anything, please tell me. I am Fergus, the chief apprentice of this blacksmith shop."

"If you are interested in the products on the shelves at this time, then we will clearly mark the price and you can get the goods after paying the price. If you have customization requirements, please explain first, and we will inform the master personally according to the difficulty, and then give Make an offer.”
