Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 347 346. The Priest's Family

Gascoigne's home was by a wide canal.

It might not be intuitive to say that.

The window of his house is next to a large aqueduct more than three meters wide and six meters deep, which is not covered or fenced.

The canal didn't seem to be used much, and there wasn't much water underneath, just a thin layer of silt.

It seems that to make it easier for people to enter the canal, there is also a climbing ladder that is directly pressed not far from the window of Gascoigne's house.

Lan En couldn't imagine what kind of mental state the designer of this kind of building must be in while working.
This is not yet an era when night lighting can be popularized. Whoever takes a wrong step at night will directly break his neck?

Still on the edge of the residential area!

"Yanan's architecture is very strange. They have all kinds of precision instruments, but the basic design is completely deviated from the common sense of the outside world. Maybe it is because the city is built in the mountains, and the terrain with high and low terrain is very common. If not It’s hard to settle down if you get used to the style here.”

Gascoigne explained this to the newcomer.

"However... such a deep canal doesn't even have a fence, what should we do if we walk at night?"

"Walking at night?" Gascoigne asked with a strange smile, "After last night, do you still expect anyone in this city to go out at night?"

Lane was speechless.

The two walked along the canal for about half a minute, passing by several coffins tied up with chains, before arriving at the door of Gascoigne's house.

His home is no different from ordinary Yannan people.

The thick wooden doors and windows were fitted with solid iron fences, and several circles of iron chains were wrapped around the iron fences, and several locks were hung on the chains.

The sense of insecurity makes each Yanan's house have a similar configuration.

At the door, Lan En stood aside, and Gascoigne knocked on the door.

In Yanam, slamming on the door is a very annoying and disturbing behavior.

Because that kind of sound makes people can't help but think of wild beasts trying to break into the door at night.

A brown-haired woman came out of the door, and she wore a red knitted scarf as a shawl.

A slender and beautiful figure, in contrast to the muscular Gascoigne, but also a good match.

After seeing Gascoigne standing at the door, she naturally stepped forward and hugged the priest as if she hadn't smelled the stench of blood on his body.

Feeling that what he was holding was a living human body, not a corpse, and then he let go of the stone in his heart and breathed a sigh of relief.

This seemed to be a habit of the two of them. After they separated, the woman saw Lan En behind.

"Hello, Ms. Viola."

Lan En greeted politely.

"Who is this?"

The brunette woman asked hesitantly.Gascoigne leaned over to make an introduction.

"An unlucky foreigner who just arrived in Yanan last night, the church should not be able to arrange for him now, so I plan to let him rest at home for a while."

The hostess was exactly as Gascoigne said.

After hearing about Lan En's current situation, he warmly invited him to stay for a few more days.

"Gascoigne only teamed up with Uncle Henrik. I always feel that the two of them are not safe. It would be better if there is another hunter."

Viola talked happily while leading Lan En into the house.

"Although I'm not a hunter, I don't know much, but it's easier to do things with more people, isn't it?"

Hearing what his wife said, Gascoigne smiled helplessly.He took off his wide-brimmed hat and hung it on the coat hook by the door.

"I've told you many times, Viola. That's not what a hunter does."

But the hostess seems to have learned the resident skills of old couples long ago.

She can automatically filter what her husband says, what she doesn't want to hear.Gascoigne could only smile embarrassedly at Lan En.

This is a cozy little house, and it can be seen that Viola has put a lot of thought into decorating the house.

Scattered small decorations, spotless sofas, tablecloths, and shiny glass and tableware
"Did Dad come back?"

While shouting, the sound of two small leather shoes running on the wooden floor came from the back room.

The two little girls ran from the back room to the living room in a panic, and when they saw the stranger standing in the living room, they stopped quickly and became awkward.

They seem to be twins. The two little girls wear the same small leather shoes, white socks, and plain dresses that look like the uniforms of early women's colleges.

The two look alike, sweet and well-behaved.They all also inherited Viola's brown hair, except that one was tied with a pure white headband, and the other was tied with a bright red headband.

When they crossed Lane and saw Gascoigne, the stiffness of a stranger in the house disappeared again.

The girl with the red headband seemed a little bolder. She didn't get close to the hunter who was stained with animal blood, but just stood there and called "Daddy".

Gascoigne didn't approach them either, he just waved his hand with a gentle smile, and then introduced to Lan En.

"My children, twins. The one with the white headband is my sister, Oliveira. The one with the red headband is my sister, Victoria."

"They're all lovely."

Lan En complimented her half sincerely and half politely.

When visiting someone's home, you must first praise the children.

Ignore the fireworks special effects of 'Sophisticated +1' that Mentos played on the retina.

Lan En smiled at the two girls.

But my sister seems to be less courageous and shy.With both sisters blushing, she took the lead and pulled her sister back behind the wall.

Behind Lan En, Gascoigne had already taken off his blood-stained coat and thrown it into the bamboo basket.

"Take a shower first to clean up the blood."

Lan En nodded. Before he knew what the veterinary disease was, it might be a safer choice to listen to the advice of the locals.

The two washed their bodies in the bathroom one after another, and Viola prepared a set of Gascoigne's old clothes for Lan En.

Fortunately, the priest's stature is not small, otherwise Lan En might not be able to catch him.

Gascoigne's hunting clothes are easy to clean. In fact, the reason why most Yanan hunters choose leather coats is because it is easy to wash down the thick blood.

But for Lane's armor, Viola didn't have the skills of an armor cleaner, she was just a full-time wife.

Therefore, it can only be left there until the Healing Church has time to settle Lan En down.

Lan En didn't raise any objection, just nodded with a smile
He was actually a little inclined to leave Yharnam after a short break.

This city gave him too much feeling that something was wrong.

Whether it's the miraculous [blood therapy], or the weird veterinary disease.It's all wrong.

But since Gascoigne had already promised to take care of his family when he went out to buy incense today, there should be nothing to delay this moment.

After washing away the blood stains of the lycanthropy patient, Viola had already filled the table with sumptuous food.

It seems that because of the hunter's schedule, as the hunter's wife, she also adjusted her cooking habits.

The dinner that was supposed to be the most sumptuous was now moved to the morning.

When Lan En came out of the bathroom, Gascoigne's family had already sat at the dining table.

There was a place for him at the table.
