Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 125 124. Changes of Times

Foltest rode away from the Dark Water with his guards.

Roche followed closely behind the king and waited until he was far enough away from the village before speeding up slightly and speaking softly.

"Your Majesty, the power of a demon hunter is always a hidden danger."

Earlier in the day, the characteristics of the Witcher community had become obligatory reading for Temerian dignitaries.

Stessa's status in this kingdom is second only to the king, but even such a character, the manor and defenses he built are like a sieve to demon hunters.

No one cared about the witchers before, because of their low social status.The second is that no one really thought that they could do this when they were serious.

Nobody could care less about the power that could have forcibly killed Count Stessa.

Even if the scope is extended to the entire continent, he can be regarded as one of the few great nobles!
Roche didn't dislike the demon hunter group from the beginning, because he also came from a humble background.

He recognized and respected Lan En who had cut through the Stesa Manor for a group of children.

But in the final analysis, he is a ruthless enough patriot.

In terms of love, no one would dislike a hero who is not afraid of power.

But Yu Li, he couldn't look at such an overly powerful person in Temeria.

But Foltest was not as worried as his subordinates.

Even if he is the master of this country, even the information he has and the vision he pays attention to can all explain to him the disadvantages of an uncontrollable and powerful fighter.

He just rode on his own, talking about his thoughts without looking back.

"Times are changing, Roche. Especially recently."

"Before today, everyone on this continent didn't know that a person who has mastered basic magic, and given him the skills and qualities of a top fighter, can actually kill through a manor fortress of a big noble by himself. Because No one has ever done that!"

"Warlocks who master magic are more willing to seize power in the intrigue of the court. Druids and priests stay away from the world, while most demon hunters follow the principle of neutrality, and they rarely even enter towns."

"You've read the information, Roche. Before Lann, there were only two examples of demon hunters killing humans. Geralt of Livia, known as [The Butcher of Bravikan]. Old My God, that was a wonderful time, and he was called a butcher just because he killed seven thugs at the market. The witcher we were drinking with just now killed more than 200 people just last night!"

"The other is called [Iro's Cat], and its record is to slaughter a small village. Interestingly, the two of them tried to earn bounties from Adda's curse one after another, but one died, and the other made money."

Roche listened silently.

He has always been clear about his position. He has wisdom, but not much.The role of executor is more suitable for him than planner.

Foltest was a wise and heroic king, and when he was making a decision, Roche would not lean forward and speak.

"Times are changing, Roche. Just too slowly, sometimes two steps back, for people like you who don't have access to a lot of information to notice."

Foltest continued with emotion.

"It has only been more than five hundred years since human beings landed on this continent. We discovered the magic power of chaos here, and we are divided into people who master magic power and ordinary people."

"For more than 500 years, these two groups have fought against each other and compromised with each other, and formed the current situation. The king and the warlock."

"People think that the changes in history are over and the situation has stabilized. But for the kings, for those who really affect the running of the country, until now, the pulls, compromises and disputes, changes are still happening all the time. .”

"Can you believe it, Roche?"

Foltest turned to look at his loyal warrior.

"Just four years ago, when Geralt came here to lift the curse on my Adda, I saw the existence of a witcher for the first time. At that time, I even had to consult Triss to understand that it was What kind of people are there?"

"But now, four years later, a witcher has done such a big thing in Vizima! The change of the times is like the flow of the Pontar River."

After feeling the changes of the times for a while, Foltest turned to Roche and said.

"I need you to urgently buy a batch of anti-magic gold and equip it with the palace guards. Also, find some wild mages and give the soldiers some confrontation training. At least let my soldiers know how to deal with fireballs, lightning and hypnosis. "

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Trade has urgently listed the magic gold in the list of military procurement materials. Is it a bit unnecessary for me to come?"

The king shook his head.

"The Ministry of Trade is the Ministry of Trade, but what I want now is not a large-scale hoarding. If it is for business, the Ministry of Trade is very useful, but you know better how a soldier can get the equipment he needs urgently."

"Understood, I'll do it when I get back."

Roche no longer refuted.

While riding, Foltest looked at the breeze-rippling surface of Lake Vizima and narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Come on, Roche. In the near future, all the magic gold on the market will not be at the current price."

The speed at which the price of magic gold rises depends on how quickly the story of Lan En's "Lord Hunter" spreads.

~~~~~~
Lan En watched the king's team leave.

He took Poppy to the lakeside of Lake Vizima, ready to give it a good wash.

From time to time, the cloud-riding mare would put a head on Lane's chest.

Aliya is in the tavern room, and she is going to reinstall the plate armor accessories sent by Foltest to the armor of the High Bear School.

This is just an assembly job, and it doesn't matter if you don't know the craft of a blacksmith.

In the rucksack on Popie's back, there were all the things, and even the missing and damaged ones were replaced with new and expensive ones.

Lan En felt the meticulousness of Foltest's court chief.

Started drawing water from the lake and pouring it on Poppy.

"So why did Foltest bring you here?"

Lane brushed his mane with a brush, talking to the side.

On a stone by the lake, Berengar, whose arms, stomach, and thighs were wrapped in bandages, was pouring [Swallow] into his mouth one by one.

It was the potion that Lan En gave him, and his own inventory was probably taken away by Foltest.

Hearing Lan En's question, he made a bad joke.

"Maybe it's because he couldn't find my parents. After all, I'm hundreds of years old."

Seeing that Lan En, who was brushing the horse's back, was embarrassed, Berengar sneered, and continued.

"Okay, okay. Eighty percent of that guy thinks that any demon hunter can have your skills. Now who dares to let you into the city?"

"Tell the truth, little bear cub. What material did your school add to your mutation? To create a demon hunter like you?"

When he said the word "demon hunter", Berengar's tone was even a little uncertain.

Lane was silent, and Berengar thought he was just keeping the secret formula of the school, or resisting the pain of mutation.

Smile indifferently.

After a moment of silence, Lan En asked plainly.

"Then the money you saved by working hard in Vizima will be gone?"

"Then why not?" Regarding this question, Berengar was astonishingly free and easy.

"When I took out my sword again for the sake of those children, I didn't even dare to think about living. Now that I can enjoy the wind and sun here, I have no complaints."

"I transported those children. Although I don't know it, it is also my sin. If I can lose some money and wash away the guilt in my heart, it will be a big profit. I am a witcher. As long as I don't go Fighting in the wild, I can live for hundreds of years, and my body is as good as a big guy, and if I lose my money, I will lose it."

Berengar's free and easy attitude is very different from when he was pressed against the wall by Lan En for the first time.

At that time, his heart was full of resentment towards his identity as a demon hunter.

Maybe it was the experience of sacrificing his life for a noble goal that changed him.

After Lan En looked at him with a smile, he seemed to raise his mouth unintentionally.

"Changing places to make money, are you interested in accepting my employment?"
