Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 961 943. [Dragon Hunting] Wenstein

Even if the undead here keep dying, won't they become wandering souls?

Lan En didn't quite understand this.

But he also knew that he couldn't figure everything out. Time is running out now and something must be done.

"Hello."

Lan En took You'ershika and walked to a Lothric knight sitting in a pile of treasures to say hello.

The half-dragon girl is obviously not good at sociability, and her calm face at this moment probably means she doesn't know what expression to put on.

Fortunately, Lan En didn't intend to rely on her to negotiate.

To be able to use the half-dragon bloodline to travel unhindered for so long, Youershika has already done a lot of credit.

The Lothric knight raised his head and looked up at Lan En but did not respond.

Apparently he was silent and waiting for Lan En to continue.

"We came from Irushil in the Cold Valley. Something bad happened there."

Lan En chose his words carefully, observing the Lothric knight's reaction as he spoke.

Although he was wearing a full set of armor, it covered his entire body. But the subtle movements, the depth and frequency of breathing, these details that are difficult for ordinary people to notice, will be captured by Lan En's senses and Mentos.

Then it becomes the basis for sentiment analysis.

According to the analysis results, he has no psychological fluctuations.

Even though Irushil is Lothric's most important companion, the knight of Lothric has no psychological fluctuations.

Lan En's brows wrinkled slightly, but he didn't feel surprised.

After all, he had already vaguely guessed the state of the people who climbed to the top of Ancient Dragon Peak before, and this time it was just a confirmation.

But on the other hand, he just learned another thing from the sporadic conversations of these people. The unknown king set up a bell-ringing place here similar to a challenge arena.

And these people do not object to someone ringing the bell.

So Lan En changed the subject, as if he was not the one who just discussed the origin and the crisis in Irushil.

"I want to try ringing the bell. How should I go?"

This time, the Lothric knight sitting on the treasure pile clearly listened.

He raised his arm and pointed to an exit. The knuckles on the iron glove made a sound of metal friction, and he stretched out a finger.

Others were not surprised and continued to talk to each other in low voices or organize their equipment.

Lan En turned around and looked at the exit: "Is this the only way to go to the end?"

The Lothric knight's helmet bobbed up and down.

"I understand, see you later."

Lan En stepped over the undead knight who was resting on the ground, and took You'ershika, who was holding up her skirt cautiously.

The half-dragon girl rarely goes out, and Gwendelin protects the only relative around her very well.

So even though Youershika followed Lan En closely and her expression was still confused and calm, she still couldn't stop looking around.

Walking out of the exit pointed out by the Lothric knight, the first thing you see is a closed steel gate. On the other side of the gate is a wide square. It is now covered with clouds and even a storm is blowing.

It is very different from the sun-drenched scene at Gulongding.

But within a short while, as soon as Lan En and Youershika walked out to take a look, these dark clouds and storms disappeared without a trace. I don’t know why.

And Youershika's eyes were fixed on a spear on the steel gate.

The spear was an exquisite golden-grip cross-gun, inserted in the middle of the steel gate, as if it was shot with a spear-throwing motion.

There is a horizontal grip at the junction of the gun head and the gun barrel, which can better assist in exerting force when stabbing.

The structure of the gun blade is more like an awl, and the entire gun is completely focused on stabbing rather than slashing.

".Dragon hunting gun?"

Youershika's murmuring voice was caught by Lan En, who was walking in front.

The witcher tilted his head and asked thoughtfully: "Do you know this gun?"

"This is the famous weapon of the King's Four Knights, [Dragon Hunter] Onstein."

Youershika approached the steel gate and reached for the spear stuck on it, but before she could touch it, a ray of golden lightning exploded from the gun blade.

Youershika had to retract her hand immediately.

"He was the last of the four knights to leave his brother. Before leaving, he left behind a lion ring that symbolized his identity and said goodbye to his brother. But..."

"Why is a knight who has always been famous for hunting dragons now pursuing the path of the ancient dragon?"

"If you have any questions, you can talk about it later."

Lan En held the wrist that Youershika wanted to touch again. Amber cat eyes met those of the half-dragon girl.

"Our most urgent matter now"

"It's to find and rescue the eldest brother." You'ershika continued Lan En's words and retracted her arm at the same time. "Thank you for the reminder, knight. I am in chaos here, and I have no master."

Lan En could understand the panic of a girl who was forced to leave home for the first time in a crisis. He gently patted Youershika's white arm as a comfort.

"Just leave it to me."

The half-dragon girl pursed her lips and lowered her head, bowing to the witcher, silently expressing her gratitude.

There were still snake men as roving guards along the way, but with Youershika's bloodline, he had no intention of attacking the two of them.

There are many huge flying dragons on top of the ancient dragon, each of which is much larger than the Knights of Lothric.

If he had to force his way up, Lan En was confident that nothing would happen to him, but it would probably take him a few days to reach his destination.

Unlike now, except for a few really brainless bugs lying on the ground with hard bodies, there were basically no enemies to attack them.

Soon, Lan En and Youershika arrived at the end of the road without any hindrance.

As directed by the Lothric knight sitting on the pile of treasures, on the gatehouse at the other end of the large square that they just saw was sealed by the steel gate.

A rocker is connected to a big clock. It seems that as long as the rocker is moved, the big clock stuck by the mechanical device will be started.

I don't know why, even though he had made it here safely, Lan En still felt an inexplicable palpitation when he looked at the rocker that turned on the big clock.

It seems that as long as he activates the mechanism, something terrible will happen.

So even though the joystick was right in front of him, Lan En found it difficult to put his hand on it.

"You do feel right, young man."

Lan En calmly took back his hand that was slightly stretched out towards the joystick and looked to the side.

The gatehouse where the rocker was located was connected to a small room on the other side. At this time, the sound of sonorous metal boots on the ground was coming out of it along with the words.

The person who came was a knight in gorgeous golden armor.

His golden helmet was made into the face of a lion, with a ray of red tassel on the back of the helmet.

The whole person looked heroic and arrogant.

It's just that the mediocre spear he held in his hand didn't match the gorgeous and exquisite armor at all.

【Dragon Hunter】Onstein.

Even someone like Lan En, who has just come to this world, has seen this portrait in many places.

A legendary figure who wins the ancient dragon war with the gods and ranks first among the king's four knights.

His armor is so recognizable that if it wasn't copied by fanatical followers, it must be the real thing.

But Youershika also said just now: Onstein handed Gwendelin the identity certificates of his four knights and the lion ring. And just now they saw the knight's famous weapon, the dragon hunting gun.

So there is almost no need to make any other guesses.

"As long as you ring that big bell, the unknown king will respond to your challenge until death."

Wernstein spoke the rules here calmly. Although he was a knight who was famous before the Age of Fire, his voice was not old.

And that tone would almost sound approachable to someone who is not sensitive enough.

But Lan En could feel that Wengstein carried a kind of pride that had been moistened to his bones for a long time.

He is so arrogant that others think he is easy to get along with.

"Your body is still very full. It's interesting. You can grow up as a non-immortal to be a warrior strong enough to reach the top of the Ancient Dragon. This luck is really commendable."

"But since you are not immortal, then cherish this only life. The unknown king will not show mercy for anything."

"Or you can wait until you have sharpened your only life to the point where you can defeat the unknown king?"

At the end of the sentence, Onstein had a bit of a dumbfounded smile under his helmet.

It seems like he is telling a joke that will never happen until the world is destroyed.

But before Onstein finished laughing, behind Lan En, Youershika walked out with the sound of the hem of her white gauze skirt brushing the ground.

The position where Lan En stood was the base of the rocker, which was originally one section higher than the ground. Lan En's figure was full and strong.

So much so that even though You'ershika was of divine blood, she could be completely blocked standing behind him.

When the half-dragon girl appeared in front of the dragon-hunting knight, the laughter under his golden lion helmet stopped abruptly.

"Princess You'ershika?! Why are you here?"

"Knight Onstein."

Youershika first bowed and saluted, then turned her confused face to Lan En.

On Stan, who was stunned by the appearance of Youershika, the golden lion's visor also turned towards Lan En with the sound of the armor rubbing against each other.

I don't know why, but the witcher now feels as if there is an invisible but sharp spear pointed at his throat.

But fortunately, the witcher is very good at adjusting his emotions.

Lan En pretended that the cold and sharp feeling in front of his throat that penetrated his skin didn't exist, and walked to Wenstein calmly.

"What happened below Ancient Dragon Peak, the princes of Lothric rebelled, and now it is difficult to advance the fire ceremony. And Irusil of Cold Valley."

Lan En paused here to give Onstein time to react and absorb.

After all, Lan En could feel from some small movements that as soon as he finished the first half of his sentence, the dragon hunting knight was a little confused.

"Pope Sullivan rebelled and colluded with the awakened King of Fire, [Sage of the Deep] Eldridge to eat the Shadow Sun!"
