Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 358 357. How long has it been?
The warlocks in the magical world do not have the sentiment and awareness to roll out technology on a large scale.

One of the most powerful sorcerers in the world, the Elf Sage Ada Amin, once said a widely circulated saying: I am powerful because I possess knowledge, not share it.

Therefore, Lan En was not worried about Rita's intention to reverse the technology and spread it out.

That simple and easy-to-understand woman would at most play with the musket with great interest for a few days when she first got her hands on it, and then return to a luxurious and relaxed life with this weapon that transcended the times.

In fact, Lan En is not worried that after the birth of firearms in the magical world, his physical strength will be reduced by an order of magnitude out of thin air.

Old-school demon hunters like Geralt and Vesemir may face this problem when facing firearms.

But he is different.

Space Marines were originally superhuman warriors created in the interstellar era.

The more advanced the combat environment, the greater their lethality will be.

Lan En just doesn't want races like dryads and dwarves to be turned into 'scalp collections' by humans in the magical world.

After disarming the beast-turned-hunter, the young man was ready to return to Gascoigne's home.

There is a bit too much blood accumulated here, and the stench of lycanthropic blood can spread far away.

Lan En's current headache is how to deal with this smell.

Even if he only stayed in Yanan for such a short time, Lan En would not think that the 'smell of accumulated blood' was a harmless thing.

Even ordinary and natural beasts will consciously search for the smell of blood in nature to facilitate predation.

But in Yanan, who is so fanatical about blood, and in this mountain city where lycanthropy has some kind of unknown connection with blood, Lan En knows without thinking that blood will definitely attract lycanthropy patients.

"Tsk."

While Lan En carefully evacuated outside the fountain square, he couldn't help but slap his mouth.

Before they could fully come out, they could already hear the sound of animal claws scratching the concrete floor and the sound of wall masonry coming from the shadows of the alley opposite the square.

The beasts of Yharnam are as sensitive to blood as the Yharnam people, which is beyond imagination.

After withdrawing from the Fountain Square, Lan En simply pulled the lever at the gate of the square.

Let a strong iron gate close with a creaking sound, isolating the fountain square from the residential area.

There are many such mechanism handles commonly used in city defense everywhere in Yanan.

This Victorian-style city integrated many defensive equipment from the castle era into the city because of the insecurity of its residents.

Lan returned to the door of Gascoigne's house and knocked on the door.

"Who? Who?"

Viola's nervous voice sounded immediately.It seems that after she left, she has been guarding the door worriedly.

Lan En answered calmly and calmly.

"It's me. I've finished handling the batch of patients just now, but the situation makes me a little worried. Let's talk about it after we go in."

He deliberately didn't speak so fast because he was worried that Viola wouldn't hear clearly if she was too nervous.

After confirming that the person knocking on the door was indeed Lan En, the sound of the lock turning clicked immediately from behind the thick wooden door.

Viola's relieved voice and the little girls' cheerful chirping were also faintly visible.

It seems that the two little girls have been staying with their mother.

The door opened, and Lan En glanced at the fountain square again before entering.

Two patients who had turned into animals so badly that they were lying on all fours had already arrived there following the smell of blood.

At this moment, they are like wild dogs, licking the foul-smelling blood on the ground and wall tiles.It is not difficult to imagine how crazy they would become when encountering human blood, or blood of 'higher quality' as defined by the Healing Church.

Lan En first patted the two little girls on the head to make them feel a little safer.

Although Ovelia and Victoria have always been very sensible and refrained from crying or making trouble, Lan En didn't think they were really afraid.

He was just a sensible supporter when his father was out and his mother was in a panic.

As for Viola, an adult, Lan En will not spend time on her psychological construction.

The current situation is far beyond what common sense can summarize, and adults have to adapt.

"As I said just now, there is something wrong with the situation, which makes me worried."

Lan En led Vio to the window, opened a gap in the curtains, and pointed to the location of Fountain Square.

"The smell of blood attracted more beasts. Although I can still kill this batch, I can't make them die without bleeding. This is not a difficulty at all. Does this happen on normal hunting nights? ? I obviously followed Henrik and Gascoigne and killed them casually last night. But nothing like this happened."

Lan En's description made Viola clutch her ruby ​​brooch tightly, and her throat became dry.

"I, I don't understand either, I'm not a hunter. But I guess it's because too many people are sick tonight?"

Viola carefully gave a guess.

She pushed her brown hair behind her ears and pursed her lips.

"On normal hunting nights, the staff of the Healing Church will clean up the corpses in time, and the lycanthropic patients will not exceed the hunters' processing capabilities. Before they are attracted to the blood, they will be wandering and patrolling The hunter has finished his hunt. But tonight.”

But tonight, everything happened too suddenly.

Whether it was the Healing Church urgently announcing the start of the hunting night, or these lycanthropic patients suddenly getting sick all of a sudden, it was too fast and too intensive.

The hunting activities of hunters can effectively control lycanthropy when the number of cases is not serious.But if these cases come flooding back, there's only so much hunters can do.

"No matter what the reason is, the current situation is not good."

Lan En spoke to Viola in a low voice. He didn't want the two children to hear this and panic.

"How much more incense does Gascoigne send back?"

After Lan En asked this, Viola looked inexplicably dazed for a moment, and then continued.

"Five pieces of incense, and one piece is burning right now. Huh? This piece is more than half burned?"

"Why did it burn so fast? Ugh, it must be that the incense Gascoigne bought this time was of poor quality and he left too hastily."

Is the quality bad?

Lan En looked at Viola's back counting the incense and narrowed his eyes slightly.

He still clearly remembered that Viola told him that all of Yanan's beast-repelling incense was produced by the Healing Church.

One piece is enough to burn all night.

How long has it been since nightfall now?
As soon as this idea sprouted in his mind, Lan En once again felt that the scenery in front of him became blurry like water waves, and then returned to normal.

It was a feeling of detachment that only lasted for a moment.

Wait, I can’t seem to tell how long it’s been!

Lan En raised his head and looked up through the gap in the curtain.

Above the towering and sharp building outline of Yanan, a round of bright moon hanging in the sky is shining on its own.

The moon phase has not changed at all compared to when night just fell.
How long has it been since?
