Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 98 98. Wolves and Rabbits

The wooden door exploded open, and the wood fibers in it became like strands, hanging down on the door frame.

 The cause of the explosion was two war hammers.

The wooden debris was still in the air before it hit the ground, when two crossbow arrows flew out from the smoke.

 Lan En had already reflexively pinched the seal as soon as the wooden door burst open.

The two crossbow arrows were stuck at this point. With a snap, the golden magic fragments flew away together with the crossbow arrows.

 Lan En took advantage of this moment to protect Aaliya behind him.

More than a dozen people poured into this small room like a tide.

Ten of them carried ten crossbows with arrows loaded and waiting to be activated, all pointing at Lan En who was standing by the table.

“Don’t move, don’t move! Don’t move your fingers, I’ll shoot you if I move!”

With a tone like a friend joking, Urbank walked in.

This short and stocky man, his Cossack nomadic head was shining with oil, slapping against the side of his face as he walked.

“Freya is protecting me! I caught you so quickly. By the way, you haven’t asked me your name yet?”

 “Lan En.” Lan En, who was pointed at by ten crossbow arrows, spread his palm to indicate that he had no action. While tilting his head slightly, he looked at Urbank.

　　"Lane of Cintra. By the way, if the loving Freya bless you, then I guess even the maggots in this world have divine grace."

 Freya is a female deity popular in the Skellige Islands. Her teachings are similar to Meritelli's, so many religious scholars believe that the two female deities are originally one, but have been differentiated during the spread of religion.

 “Yo ho, your words are sharp! This is beyond expectation. I always thought you were the kind of cold-faced tough guy who would be cold-faced as long as he drew his sword, and slash without saying a word until no one was left standing!”

As if because a problem of his was about to be solved, Urbank pulled a stool and sat at the table, smiling and looking at Lan En.

“This is our first official meeting. It’s really interesting. A successful raid can make the swordsman who kills us like a chicken stand still and dare not move.”

 The people he brought in cooperated with each other and let out a few sneers.

They originally heard how much the leader Urbank valued this opponent, and they even raised their spirits.

 But after rushing in as planned, it seemed to be no different from killing any other ordinary person.

The person holding the crossbow had a relaxed look in his eyes, and the person without the crossbow even showed a sense of irritability when the work was almost completed.

 They looked at Lan En with evil intentions, like several wolves staring at the prey that had been surrounded.

 Wantish and playful.

 Lan En shrugged, "That's how fighting is. A novice can kill a master with just a stone."

 The young man's calmness made several of them laugh.

"Ha! This is indeed a 'sword master'. Everything is different."

 Their banter was displayed with confidence.

Because the current situation is very clear. In a small venue, more than ten people are squeezed in, and ten crossbows are loaded and pointed. Just waiting for a trigger, they can shoot the opponent into a hedgehog.

 Heavy armor? Do you have heavy armor on your head?

 Swordsmanship? A group of people are crowding into the middle. Can you raise your hand?

Witcher? Can an ordinary demon hunter be able to withstand the combined efforts of more than a dozen people?

 They are a pack of wolves, and the other side is just a little rabbit with a gap in its teeth.

Lan En just smiled at this: "I heard that there have been no violent crimes in the trade area for many years. You guys broke into the hotel room wearing armor and showing off your bows. There are adults behind you."

The group laughed together.

"Why are you making false accusations, mutant? We are just a group of honest citizens who don't want to see our great city polluted by a mutant, so we came here at night to teach you a lesson. How can we be adults?"

 Lan shook his head.

“A group of conscientious citizens, wearing this equipment and walking on the street at night, are the security team blind? Also, how did you find me?”

The group of people laughed unbridled again.

It seems that they have no intention of taking covert and fast actions, that is, they are not afraid that the news here will reach the ears of the security team.

 “Lan En, Lan En.”

Ubank sat there, patting his thigh and sighing.

"It's not easy to find you. You're very cautious. But it's useless. I'm not just looking for you. We've searched for all the people who came to the city in the past three days and concealed their identities. It's not your caution that's the problem, it's There are more of us than you can imagine.”

"Besides, it's no use trying to trick them. They are employees of a local security company, and I just hired them tonight. They can feel that there is someone on top of their company, but you don't expect them to know that it is Who. They only know that if I come here tonight with a note, they have to listen to me, and they will get money after the work is done."

"Don't even think about getting clues by checking this company. The real boss is hiding behind complicated equity relationships, just like the spider in the center of the spider web. He doesn't even give people a chance to hold grudges, because it's impossible for you to know him. Those of us who do the dirty work will be remembered by you forever."

 “So.” Lan En’s expression remained calm.

"The security of Vizima's most important city is something that can be trampled on at will."

 “Oh, don’t talk nonsense!”

Ubank said with a smile.

“We are a group of impulsive and conscientious citizens, and we will naturally be punished after breaking the law.”

"We broke the door and window to get in. Legally, this room belongs to your personal territory while you pay, so we are considered trespassing. According to the public security regulations, we will be caned three times, fined, and detained for one month. Then we We took you and the little girl behind you. But we couldn't let anyone see you."

“The owner of this store will also testify that you two were still in the house when we left, and your disappearance has nothing to do with us.”

Urbank smiled kindly, not like a man from Skellige at all, but like a top student who studied law in Oxenfurt.

"What else can we do? The evidence only supports breaking into a house." "We will kill you here, and then take away the broken body and the girl. We won't even wipe the floor, because the boss will be very sensible. It’s done.”

"Our whereabouts may be seen by a large number of unrelated people, but the security team will be able to post the results of the case tomorrow. Because we will line up to surrender early in the morning. The caning will not be very painful, and it will not even leave a scar, because that day The person who performed it was unwell but still kept working, and everyone admired him."

"We should pay all the fines. We can all afford it, and we don't know why. Anyway, we gangsters have money, a lot of money. After paying the fine, we can still go to the Night House to enjoy ourselves for several days. "

"I was detained for one month, and I wasn't sad during this period. Because there are always some cells that are almost smelly and need to be cleaned regularly, right? We bad guys have to go in and try these cells that have been cleaned by the guards first. As for why the cells are There will be comfortable bedding inside, as well as daily take-out food from the restaurant. How would we prisoners know? Just stay here and that's it."

"After they go out, these awesome guys will receive a lot of welcome because of their radical attitude and courage towards mutants. The girls throw themselves into their arms, everything goes smoothly at work, and no one can say 'no' when they see them." People despise the life of a demon hunter, and I probably won’t be able to compare with them in treatment for the rest of my life!”

 “And you”

Ubank looked at Lan En with a warm expression.

“I can only see your face here, it’s so **** awesome! I was wrong, we won’t kill you, the price you can sell for must be very high!”

"Those kind-hearted gentlemen will definitely like you, with your deep eyebrows and noble silver hair. You will resist, but when we cut off your hands and feet and press the opener on your mouth, those gentlemen will definitely Will pay more for it.”

 Lan En didn't react much when he heard this.

 The trend of loving men has been prevalent in many eras, and my face will indeed attract nobles and wealthy businessmen who like this kind of face.

“So, this is the fate you chose for me?”

　　When it came to this matter, Lan En's tone actually remained unchanged. This made the people behind Urbank unhappy.

Since they compare themselves to wolves, they naturally hope that the little white rabbit will tremble in front of them, which is interesting.

 Lan En's reaction obviously made them feel embarrassed.

 “You son of a **** mutant! You”

With that said, the man was about to walk up to Lan En and pull off his hood. But when passing by Ubank, this short and stocky man immediately stopped him.

He knew Lan En's skills, and he didn't want to have multiple human shields around him at all.

While stopping the follower behind him, Urbank's smile slowly disappeared.

His good words before were, on the one hand, to disintegrate Lan En's will to resist, and to reduce the risk as much as possible.

On the other hand, it is also because of the comfortable feeling of security.

Since the last meeting with Lan in Willen's camp, he has confirmed that this murderous and ghostly demon hunter will chase him to the end of the world and chop off his head.

 Now, he is about to solve this problem.

But after spending a lot of words, Lan En's plain tone continued to weaken his sense of security.

 How dare he?

 Is he really not afraid?

 The weakening sense of security made Urbank's mood worse.

 So he sneered.

 “Oh, I forgot to mention the children you care about.”

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Lan En's cat-eye pupils under his hood suddenly shrank.

“You don’t know what we want these children for, right? The Sun Cult in the south is very powerful and wealthy.”

“What a pity! There are so many well-meaning gentlemen who find it difficult to taste the happiness of men just because of their teachings.”

Ubank pointed his finger towards the south, like a patient teacher who was grieving over some historical regrets.

"The Nilfgaard Empire is a symbol of advancement and enlightenment, and the Sun Cult is the pillar of Nilfgaard's faith. In order to solve the problems of these masters, how many people rush to deliver things! But what can be smaller than the pure one? Are boys more valuable than handsome and beautiful men?"

"Those children will live a good life. At least they will be better fed and clothed than Willen. Although from time to time, they will be patted and touched by an old hand the size of a radish, full of gold rings, and some of them may even be made into A castrato."

 Thanks to the rich film and television culture in his home world, Lan En can easily imagine a disgusting picture in his mind.

The old and fat cleric pressed down a little boy who was unable to resist or even dared to resist on the gorgeous and soft bed.

 “Ah, so that’s it.”

Even though he was being pointed at by ten strung crossbows, Lan En, who was calm and composed, now even murmured a little bit intermittently.

“It’s a slave, and it’s also a ‘gift’ tied with a ribbon and wrapped. That’s it.”

Ubank’s already ugly face became even more ugly, and the followers behind him also began to feel that something was wrong.

It was a cold feeling that made the hair stand on end.

 But while they felt something was wrong, their common sense told them clearly—in this world! no one! Able to get close! alone! Facing ten crossbows!

 The conflict between instinct and common sense can make people’s thinking uncomfortable.

Everyone brought by Ubank was in this discomfort. They subconsciously clenched their weapons and tightened their muscles.

 They looked blankly at Lan En, who seemed to be obviously different.

"I always felt that in front of a **** like you, even showing anger would be an insult to myself, and you should just die as unimportant as bugs. But now my view has changed, Urbank.”

The voice became louder. Lan En reached out and took off his hood in front of the increasingly nervous enemy.

The cat's eyes under the hood are like a tiger that has bitten the throat of its prey!

“I will kill you with my wrath.”

 “Bang!”
