Chapter 804 786. Goodbye
“There is a rugged and winding mountain road outside Kaer Morhen.”
Berengar swayed on the horse, and gave some advice to those who had just come here. Lan En, Velvet Ball, and Qilin explained.
After more than a month of traveling, he has become accustomed to ignoring appearances and treating kittens and unicorns as intelligent creatures.
“This mountain road is basically pure and natural. It has not undergone any artificial repairs and has even been artificially made more difficult. We call it ‘Killer Road’, which is used to practice physical fitness and reflexes for new young people. . Many young men broke their necks on this road.”
They had now reached the plank bridge over the moat of Kaer Morhen Castle.
Although the castle is in tatters, the former moat has gradually turned into a stream due to lack of repairs, and green grass and wild flowers have grown.
But after all, there is a height difference of about ten meters from the ground. People from the Wolf School usually use this bridge to enter and exit the castle.
"Are these the people who broke their necks while running on the 'Killer Road'?"
Lan En sat on Qilin's back. Following his question, Qilin, Flannel Ball, and himself , the three guys stretched their heads to the side simultaneously and looked down curiously.
Under the moat that had turned into a stream, there were many human skeletons scattered and shapeless.
Even with the eyesight and calculation power of Lan En and Mentos, these bones were so fragmented that they could not tell how many people were thrown down here.
"These? These are not." Berengar also tilted his head under the bridge on his side. After seeing the skeletons submerged in the grass and streams, he seemed to have just remembered. Said.
“These are warnings.”
“What warning meow?”
The flannel ball moved its shoulders on Lan En's body, and moved closer to Berengar to ask.
The old demon hunter has nothing bad to say.
“Like most witcher schools, Kaer Morhen was also besieged by a mob, and almost everyone in the castle was killed.”
“Were wizards involved? "
Lan En suddenly turned around and asked.
Unlike the people in the Bear School who have no affection for their school and the castle at all, so they simply break up the gang when they encounter trouble, the demon hunters of the Wolf School are united and have a sense of belonging.
Looking at the terrain and structure of Kaer Morhen, it would be a bit of a joke to say that a group of mobs could capture such a dangerous castle.
Heinkaweh Castle of the Bear School, because the Bear School disbanded on the spot, the main building structure was not damaged at all during the mob's attack, but the objects inside were looted.
But with the ruins of Kaer Morhen now, it looks like a battle.
“Aren’t you talking nonsense?” Berengar spat towards the moat and cursed in a low voice.
"There are no warlocks, no engineering equipment, ordinary people use their heads to break through the city wall?"
"Even the preliminary propaganda that incited these mobs used information from the witcher research of an unknown warlock. , this slanderous study is still being circulated on the market, that is, "Freaks, or Descriptions of Demon Hunters""
Berengar said as he walked, they had already seen it. The ruins of Kaer Morhen are set against a steep stone wall.
The half-dismantled trapezoidal city wall, the remnants of the barbican and city gate, and the rough and sturdy main building of the castle.
When they walked across the Banqiao, the sound of horse hooves changed from the 'dong-dong-dong' of stepping on the thick wooden boards to the 'dap-dap-dap' of stepping on the stones.
An iron grille door appeared in front of them. Behind the worn iron door was a dark corridor.
These are castles for military purposes, designed to consume the enemy's forces when facing an attack.
But there is no doubt that a military castle that does not have enough manpower to operate is just a place where you can sightsee at will.
“If I were you, I wouldn’t play the trick of ‘suddenly appearing from behind’ in front of us.”
Lan En, who was riding the unicorn, didn’t even look back and just looked after himself. Said loudly. "Geralt, no one here is a layman. The sound of your footsteps is very light in ordinary ears, but at this moment, it is not light enough."
We officially entered the front yard of Kaer Morhen Castle. Compared with the previous bridges and corridors, it was much wider, allowing Lan En to control Qilin to turn around.
The tall and elegant horse turned its head. On the gatehouse of the city wall behind them, [White Wolf] wearing casual clothes was inserting the sword back into the scabbard on his back.
Lan En raised his head and greeted the witcher on the gatehouse of the city wall with a smile.
“Long time no see, White Wolf.”
"Yeah, long time no see."
Geralt's deep and hoarse voice was still very recognizable, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised at this time.
He turned over and jumped down from the gate tower. He first landed on the roof of the stable below, and then jumped to the ground.
Lan and Berengar also dismounted each other. The young demon hunter stepped forward. Geralt and Lan opened their hands in unison and the two hugged.
Not pretentious, they both patted their backs and separated.
That's enough for them.
"Ha, are you okay?"
Geralt smiled, and said tentatively with a little worry.
He was an old man compared to Lan En. Before the battle was over, he felt that something was wrong with Lan En's spirit.
But now it seems that his worries were in vain.
Lan En smiled casually and sincerely, without any cover-up or coyness. As soon as this smile appeared, most of Geralt's worries disappeared.
“I had a good rest.”
After the friends said hello, Geralt turned to look at Belengar.
Although Geralt had already obtained Berengar's Demon Hunter steel and silver swords, after he escaped from the mire of the war, he also heard more or less about this emerging steel that was in the limelight. matter.
But this is indeed the first meeting between the two wolf schools.
"Master Berengar?"
Geralt asked uncertainly, until the old demon hunter looked him up and down and nodded, which was considered an answer.
"Thank you for the swords. They are great. I have never used such a light, strong and sharp sword."
"This shows that you have some vision and good luck. "
The greetings between the two wolf schools were not as enthusiastic as the greetings between Lan En and the bear school.
But Lan En is not surprised. Geralt has a slow temper, and Berengar has complicated feelings about his school. This situation is true and expected, and it will be better if he has more contact with him.
Geralt stepped forward to help, led Pope to the stable, and began to remove the saddle and various things from him to relax the horse.
He is a veteran, and he has almost a hundred horses that have passed through his hands.
But when he wanted to help Lan En, the demon hunter from the Bear School declined him.
