Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 290. 289. Curse Teaching
Lann rode Poppy, and Geralt rode a mare called Turnip.

After they walked out of Hamm, they planned to go to the lake to find the unlucky Sir Freixnet, and then get credible information directly from him.

A single information channel will inevitably lead to one-sided and incomplete information, but the remaining matters are the scope of services that demon hunters should bother with, so there is nothing to complain about.

Lan En's itinerary is not urgent, otherwise he wouldn't leave the portal and go ride a horse.That old witcher named 'Vesemir' was entrusted by the king.

It is normal for a task of this level to take several months.

Instead of rushing over now, it's better to learn from the famous [White Wolf] in front of you, maybe he can be a middleman after a while.

With the intermediary talking, the chance to study in the castle of the wolf school is almost guaranteed.

The farther the horse's hoof travels toward the lake, the deeper the footprint it leaves on the ground.

The mud ideas were picked up by the horseshoes and splashed onto the hem of their cloaks.

Even though they were on horseback, they still kept a distance that would not cause misunderstandings.

Neither far nor near, belonging to a strange but familiar distance.

Geralt has always been wary of a bear school witcher who slaughtered more than 200 humans in one night.

And Lan En fully understood his concerns, and maintained a tacit understanding about the distance between the two.

"Did you ask where that knight often appears? The lake is not big, but it is not easy to find a cormorant, even if it is wearing a nettle shirt."

Lan En controlled the speed of the horse, and Pope's genetics were obviously much better than that of the mare named Carrot.

Geralt straightened his creamy white hair, which had been tousled by the wind.

"I've asked, you just follow along."

Soon after, the two stopped on the edge of a beach near a lake.A small table was set up with a few stones on the muddy beach, and there were dried fish scales and blood on it.

Presumably it should be where Miss Eliza feeds her brother.

Geralt methodically took out two fresh fish and put them on, then took the turnip and stood beside Lan En.

The young witcher watched with gusto, this was the first time he saw with his own eyes how a normal witcher should work.

After Bordong brought him with him, the preparations for each mission became more and more perfunctory, because there was an apprentice who could share the risk with him.

The wind on the lake lowered the reeds, and two people and two horses stood on the blown reeds on a beach.

It seemed that it was because waiting was a little boring, and the atmosphere where neither of them spoke made people feel awkward.

So Lane reached into his pocket and pulled out a stack of cards.

Geralt, who had been staring at him as he pulled out his pocket, raised an eyebrow in confusion.

"Gwent, a dwarf card game that is popular nowadays."

Lane held out his hand to Geralt.

"I can give you a little bit, do you want to try it out? It's time-killing."

The young witcher seemed a little moved when he saw the lips on the other side twitch.Then put his hands on his chest, showing obvious resistance.

"No, forget it. With all due respect, we haven't gotten close enough to give each other things."

"Okay, you have the final say."

Lan En was not persistent either, he shuffled the cards by himself to pass the time.

However, following the sound of the cards jumping, Geralt turned his head away, and with his hands wrapped around his chest, his fingers began to touch his forearm one by one.

This situation made Lan En narrow his eyes slightly.

OK, old gambling dog!
Hearing the sound of playing cards makes your hands itchy even if you haven't played them before.

Lan En's shuffling didn't last long, and the two looked towards a certain place in the sky at the same time.

The sound of birds flapping their wings was coming from there.

The cormorant, which has always looked much clumsier than ordinary cormorants, flew over from a low altitude.

Under the watchful eyes of the two, he stopped skillfully on the small stone table and swallowed two fresh fish in two bites.

A pool of bird droppings was left along the way.

Geralt, who was about to walk forward, stopped when he saw this.

Shit on the table where you eat. Cursing is really terrible.

The body of the birds prevents them from controlling their own excretion. In fact, the cormorant itself looked at the puddle under itself and did not move for a long time.

Then, as if suddenly enraged, he screamed and thumped.

Lan En looked at the cormorant with pity.

Hearing that Sir Freixnet was a big man with a strong body like a cow in the past, and it made this kind of person into a state where he couldn't even control his bowel movements. His heart was absolutely going to collapse.

But the work has to be done, and they came here to turn it back into a human.

"Fixnet?"

As if he didn't see anything, Geralt stepped forward and calmly asked the cormorant in the nettle shirt.

This is the best way to deal with embarrassing moments when you see others.

The furious cormorant squealed a few times, then calmed down and nodded.

Generally, this kind of emotional change will be very complicated and exciting on the human face.

But the face of a bird doesn't have so many small muscles that can be used to respond to emotions, so in front of the two of them, there is still a cormorant that looks stupid.

Geralt briefly described the process and purpose of being hired by King Evil, and showed the parchment with the seal to prove that he was not the one who came to catch it and sell it for money.

There are quite a few people like this, and a waterfowl transformed by a nobleman is a good collection and can be sold for a high price.

Lan En nodded repeatedly watching from behind, and asked Mentos to take course notes.

Unraveling a curse is a difficult task. The person who undoes the curse not only has to face the curse that has already formed and the caster who does not want the curse to disappear, but also finds a way to face the morbid insecurity caused by the long-term fear of the cursed.

Geralt showed Lane how a skilled old witcher should start from scratch.

The king's seal endowed Geralt with a trustworthy role. When he took back the parchment and asked again, Cormorant's performance was much more positive.

"I want to ask you a key question first, is the person who cursed you a witch?"

Having said this, the cormorant involuntarily let out a sharp cry.

Geralt was unmoved, with his arms folded indifferently, watching the water bird jump up and down.

"Given the way you expressed it, the only information I can accept is nodding and shaking your head. So sir, don't let anger delay your return to human. Give me a rational answer, free from prejudice and hatred—is she a witch? "

"Quack! Quack!"

Finally, the cormorant shook his head violently from side to side, and the conversation continued
After Geralt finished his preliminary question, the cormorant flew away.

He also returned to Radish's side and got on his horse.Lan En followed naturally.

"You make me feel like I'm taking an apprentice. The Wolf School hasn't had an apprentice for a long time."

The young man had no right to speak about the topic where the old people lamented about the past, so he could only look away and ask for professional knowledge.

"You seem to have asked a lot of private topics just now, what's the use?"

"I have to confirm the relationship between the two of them and what kind of feelings they have for each other. When she cursed, was that woman greedy to get the family property? Or a resentment for being betrayed by her lover? Or pure Anger? Curses issued from different moods will affect the effect of breaking the curse."

"But this thing is too subjective. Will our Sir Freixnet think that his female partner doesn't love him in love?"

"So, our work is still busy."

Geralt glanced at Lan who seemed to be remembering seriously.

"Tomorrow, he will take us around the place where he had a tryst with that woman. Let's see what kind of curse this is."

"That's when it's busy."
