Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 193 192. Access

Although the specific time is not clear, it should not be far away from the time when the celestial sphere converges and the rift opens.

Because even far away in the village of Dark Water, Lan En could feel the slight vibration of the roaring bear head badge on his chest.

That night, Lan En rowed a boat to Black Tern Island, taking with him the organ preservation tank containing the [Second Heart].

When he arrived, the lady in the lake stood quietly by the water of Black Tern Island, letting the lake water wash and caress her tender green feet.

Lan En always has some misunderstandings because of the lady's too 'people-friendly' behavior.

He will feel for a moment that the lady in the lake is just an ordinary nymph.

But this feeling will disappear in an instant, because he can still clearly remember what kind of power and 'social circle' the Lady of the Lake used in the process of expelling Dagon.

Their existence was born from a concept, or from some power so ancient that it cannot be described. They do not specifically interfere with the mortal material world just because of their own nature.

But this does not mean that they are just like mortals.

"Good night, ma'am. It seems you knew I was coming."

Lan put down the oar and jumped out of the boat into the shallow water on the shore. While pulling the boat ashore, he greeted the smiling lady on the shore.

The Lady of the Lake looked at the Witcher teasingly.

"Otherwise? You have lost a clever and reliable attendant, so you have to have someone to watch over your heart-breaking work."

"Wow. Do you all know about my situation? I was thinking of going to you to explain it in detail."

Lan En walked to the lady's side, shaking the lake water off his boots while smiling sheepishly at the lady.

Even if a handsome and beautiful person makes clumsy movements, they will be called "cute".

At least for now, the lady in the lake licked her lips without leaving any trace.

"The thing in your chest is very special in nature. The intersection of heaven and earth of various sizes is happening in various corners of this world every day. But when it comes, each of us notices it."

The lady's finger pointed slightly toward Lan En's heart. Lan En knew that that was the location of the gene seed.

"But our own characteristics determine that we will not interfere with it. Just like Dana Mabe, she can't be interested in anything else except her own 'wilderness' and 'abundance'. If it doesn't relate to you I won’t care if it creates links and influences. There are only a handful of foreign demons like Gunter O’Dimm who like to have fun on mortals.”

"You are my knight, Lan En. Although I will not disembowel you, it is my duty to ensure that you recover from your injuries."

Lan En pursed his lips and nodded. It had to be said that it was a great relief to have a character like the Lady in the Lake say that he would ensure his recovery from his injuries.

"Then you'll get it done here?"

Lan En looked around and saw a steamy wind blowing from the lake. The water was splashing with waves, and the bodies of aquatic plants and small crabs were surging with the tide.

Judging from the hygienic conditions alone, this is by no means a suitable place for surgery.

But the lady nodded affirmatively and said with a smile: "I am [Lake], Lan En. The wind and the tiny life and non-life floating in the water will not come near you during this period."

Lan En had no reason to refuse anymore.

So being by the lake at night was just like being at Gos Willen's Silver Heron Tavern.

The young man originally had a lively expression, but gradually fell silent, and finally only remained calm.

He unbuckled his armor one by one, and these heavy pieces of armor hit the ground, making a unique sound of steel.

"The goal of this operation is to connect the [second heart]. It is expected that two cardiovascular vessels will need to be cut off. Please be prepared, sir."

Mentos had already turned on the surgical assistance mode with ease, providing real-time feedback on Lan En's technique on the retina.

Lan En took out the dragon bone dagger on his waist this time as a surgical tool.

After implanting the gene seed, he has had a subtle influence in these days.

It seemed that the established biochemical reaction program in the gene seed began to take effect slowly. He could vaguely feel that his bone density, muscle mass, and skin toughness were steadily improving.

Demon hunters don't have this ability. There will be almost no difference in feel between a sharp blade and an unarmored ordinary person.

Of course, the changes are not big now. Perhaps after more relevant biochemical organs are implanted in the future, these characteristics will officially move in the direction of surpassing mortals.

This once made Lan En imagine what he would look like in the future. Maybe he could even use his skin to catch crossbow bolts in the future?

This is too exaggerated to say that meat surpasses steel. Anyone who has pressed the edges of steel with their fingertips should not have such thoughts.

But for now, the strength of his muscles and skin will indeed interfere with the precision of surgical procedures.

The Valyrian steel blade pressed against his chest, and the cold touch reminded him of the night when the gene-seed was implanted.

That night, he also cut off one of his own cardiovascular systems. His decisiveness even amazed the devil.

But now, Lan En is feeling his inner emotions.

He was sure that he had not become weak.

So, it was like a repeat of that night. There was a soft sound of "Pfft", and the blade penetrated the meat with a clean and crisp sound.

Pain exists objectively, but pain cannot bring fear to him.

The skin was separated, the muscles were cut, and the surgical field of view was expanded on the ribs as usual. The 'malformed' heart was taken out from the organ preservation tank and stuffed into the vacated chest cavity.

This time the [Second Heart] was much larger than the gene seed, so Lan En had to cut off two ribs to open a channel for the operation.

It feels amazing to move your own bones and internal organs with your fingers.

The sharpness of Valyrian steel was trustworthy. Without Lan En's hesitation or intolerance, cutting off the bones was just a matter of course.

There is no need for him to struggle with bone pain for a long time.

He had already undergone surgery to cut off his cardiovascular system once. But under Mentos's learning method, his technique this time was faster and more stable.

Two heart blood vessels are connected to the [second heart].

The interface of this artificial heart is a "Y"-shaped blood vessel. This structure allows it to establish a connection with the native blood vessels and the heart.

Achieve the effect that when one heart of the Space Marines is fatally damaged, the other heart is enough to maintain life activities.

The broken blood vessels were simply connected together, and then Lan En drank two bottles of [Pure White Rafad] magic potion.

The powerful medicine takes effect in a very short time, and the injured cardiovascular system quickly grows blood vessel wall fibers with an efficiency visible to the naked eye.

These fibers intertwine and eventually heal.

The lady in the lake waved her hand, and the bleeding accumulated in the chest and body during the operation was taken away by a stream of cool water, closing Lan En's broken ribs along the way.

By the end, Lan En was pale and breathing heavily, with one hand on the ground and the other covering his chest.

Except for the blood stains on his skin, he looked like a frightened young man.

There was a beating sound of "Plop, Plop". At first, the two sounds were not synchronized.

There was a beating feeling in the chest that made Lan En's stomach start to cramp, but within half a minute, the coordination ability of the gene seed began to take effect.

The two beating frequencies begin to converge and eventually become the same.

[Second Heart], the operation is completed.
