Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1168 1150. Duel of Honor

A little afraid to look at Lan En, Lincoln tilted his head and whispered.

"Sir, because of your relationship, the most commonly used and trained weapon among the knights has now been replaced by the long sword of the elves."

As he spoke, Lincoln stretched out a finger and tapped Lan En's waist cautiously and slightly.

Lan En also moved his head in this direction and saw the Sword of the Lake Lady hanging on his waist.

After being adjusted by Lady Galadriel, it not only has a graceful and smooth arc, but the weight ball, handle, sword grid, and sword body all have the elegant, complex and beautiful carvings of the elves in the world of Alda. Long knife.

"If people want to become better, they must always set a goal and a benchmark, then imitate him and get close to him. Finally, he will become a better version of himself."

Stewart said in a calm voice.

"Maybe it's not what you think. I hope to become a demon hunter in order to make this body that has been damaged to the point of being unable to fully recover strong again. And then this idea affects other people."

"But others wish to become a witcher, mostly because you are one, my lord."

"So now." Lan En rubbed his face helplessly, "How far has things developed?"

Stewart and Lincoln looked at each other, and Lincoln took a step forward and whispered.

"Do you still remember the alchemical formulas you left behind to assist the demon hunters in fighting? Alchemy bombs and sword oil."

"I, uh don't. them."

Lan En raised his eyes and glanced at Lincoln, and then the young man's voice changed immediately.

"They've learned a lot."

As he spoke, Lincoln held back a small bag hanging on his waist. Of course, he knew that this behavior would not stop Lan En from observing, so he had an awkward, small smile on his face.

Lan En's nose twitched slightly. He didn't feel anything just now, but now he smelled it.

"Bear fat, flea wormwood, and lotus root are [enhanced corpse-eating bio-oils]."

Lan En narrowed his eyes and looked at Lincoln in front of him.

"You boy!"

But after watching for a while, Lincoln still looked cautious and embarrassed, but he did not back down under Lan En's gaze.

This is what Lan En said before: the Ember Knights respect him and obey him, but still maintain a high degree of subjective initiative.

"Huh~ Forget it."

Finally, Lan sighed.

"I understand your expectations of becoming a demon hunter. But until I have a way to improve the grass trial formula, I will not let you come into contact with those things."

"I don't want to see that there are only a dozen people left here when I come back, do you understand?"

"Of course, sir!"*2

Now Stewart and Lincoln shouted back.

Lan En waved his hand. The bigger reason for this was that he still couldn't let go of Stewart's body, which was almost crippled compared to before.

It was the body executed and crippled before him.

For the sake of the overall situation, Lan En failed to save him and his father together. This made Lan En feel somewhat regretful and indebted.

"Okay, I've made up the account. It's time for me to leave. I still have things to do."

Without even sitting on a chair, Lan En was ready to leave after taking care of the knights' affairs.

But Lincoln blinked after listening to Lan En's statement.

"Sir." The secretary of the Knights scratched his head, "When you say 'there are still things to be done', do you mean Elland's side?"

"Huh?" The demon hunter raised his head in surprise and looked at Lincoln.

How could he know such a thing? Regarding the safety of the Pontal Valley, even letting the market know about this kind of thing is enough to cause huge economic shock and panic.

Neither Foltest nor Demavi of Aedirn could let the news leak out casually.

But on second thought, it became clear.

Since these are the only people qualified to reveal the news, they must have informed the Ember Knights stationed here.

"Foltest's messenger has also been here?"

"Yes, sir." Stewart would uncontrollably pull the iron chin on his mandible as he spoke, "Just to be cautious, the messenger only delivered the message to me and Lincoln after confirming the command of the Knights."

"King Foltest briefed us on the situation and said that you would probably be involved in this matter." Lincoln added on the side. "But the decision-making power of whether the Knights should dispatch lies with us, that is, your will."

"Of course, we all hope that you will use our power in this unexplained trouble."

"It has been a long time since we fought together, my lord. Although our loyalty is unquestionable."

Stewart also took a step forward, looking at Lan En with eyes as calm as an ice lake.

"But we all hope to experience this glory again. Furthermore, the location of the Pontal Valley involved this time is too important. It is estimated that there will be powerful nobles there."

"Even for status and respectability reasons, you need someone to follow you."

Lan En looked around at Lincoln and Stewart, who looked insistent but were still ready to obey orders.

"You all came out from the swords and guns of Soden Mountain with me. If you want to fight with me again, of course I agree."

Lan En also relaxed.

"But the number of people cannot be too large. I will only bring ten people, otherwise it will slow down the trip. You two are responsible for picking out people, that's it." The final order was given. After Lincoln and Stewart looked at each other, they saluted Lan En , left the room, went outside and announced to the knights, and executed the order.

Lan En thought about picking out ten people. This should be done by just naming them.

So he simply sat on the large special chair and began to look through the accounts of the Knights during this period.

The accounting issues were handed over to Mentos for review very quickly, and they were basically integrated simultaneously after flipping through the pages.

But in the courtyard outside the main body of the castle, there was originally just the sound of neat training. Later, Lincoln and Stewart read out orders after they went out.

But it turned into a high-pitched shout almost instantly.

The Knights of Ember are well organized in peacetime. Every member is from a noble family, follows rules and etiquette, and was perfected by Lan En in the last war.

But once the quota for being able to travel side by side with Lan En again, or even fight side by side, was released, this knighthood that used to not even make too much noise.

Suddenly, like an ember that was about to go out without any ripples, a bursting flame suddenly ignited!

Lan En was sitting on the chair and had just finished checking the accounts. With his efficiency, it only took less than two minutes.

Suddenly there was an explosion of swords clashing in the castle courtyard outside!

Lan En was stunned for a moment, and so was the flannel ball. The Witcher and Ellu looked at each other on two chairs, one large and one small, at the same time, looking at each other with two pairs of cat eyes.

".Fuck me!"

Then Lan En blurted out as if he suddenly understood.

He knew very well what was going on at this moment -

I asked you to pick someone out. The result is an honorary duel here! ?

Ten honorary swordsmen were selected on the spot, right?

Lan En stood up from the big chair, and the velvet ball jumped on the small chair and landed on his shoulders.

I walked to the window and took a look, and sure enough!

"Meow!"

Lying on Lan En's shoulder and looking down, the flannel ball twisted excitedly, its elongated body like a cat bug.

Although it looks cute, it is actually a war madman who likes to immerse himself in fighting and the intersection of blades.

For example, right now, it cheered while looking at the scene below.

In order to obtain or compete for the honor of being able to walk beside Lan En and fight together again, the Ember Knights, who were already like brothers, began an internal competition.

Except that Stewart announced with a cold expression that he would not join due to his physical condition and the reason "in order not to delay the adults' schedule".

At the moment when the news was announced, all the knights' originally rational and calm eyes were suddenly covered with a layer of fanatical fighting spirit like fire!

Without any more words, everyone separated amidst the sound of slight collision of armor.

While scanning everyone except himself with sharp eyes, he took off the elf-style long knife hanging on his belt, went to the edge of the training ground, and replaced it with an unedged training knife.

They also took off the armor they had been wearing, leaving only the silk shirts underneath.

Ranking is purely based on martial arts.

Even an unedged training knife will appear too **** a body without armor.

But letting the blade pass over their bodies and showing off their swordsmanship and martial arts skills at the moment when their hairs stand on end is what they are pursuing.

With the Ember Knights' superb organizational power that even surpassed the times, they completed a series of simple rules such as grouping and competition format in only half a minute.

Everyone faced each other with knives in the open space they had found, with joyful and cheerful smiles on their faces.

Half a minute later, there was a loud bang of metal collision!

The martial arts competition began, followed by the sounds of swords clashing, and Lan En was led from his seat to the window.

In combat without armor, while the level of danger and technical requirements rise sharply, the entanglement time drops sharply.

Because the slightest mistake can lead to failure and exit.

In this high hill castle that Foltest handed over to the Knights of Ember to be stationed, there are also grooms, cooks, and servants twice as many as the Knights.

These manpower supports, also assigned by Foltest, actually consider themselves familiar with the style of the Ember Knights in the past two years of getting along with them.

This knighthood was significantly different from other knighthoods they had come into contact with.

They had never seen a knighthood with all descendants of nobles, let alone a knighthood with civilian warriors mixed in.

But none of those knights have such a spirit of self-restraint like the Knights of Ember.

Each of them seems to be pursuing the goal of keeping themselves calm, rational, and elegant at all times.

While being strict with himself, he was also able to do engineering chores such as repairing roads and bridges.

Compared to those arrogant knights, these handymen have always felt that the Ember Knights are simply perfect and abnormal.

But when a series of knife-tip clashes sounded, these handymen hurriedly and at a loss from their work came out to check, only to find that they actually did not understand the other side of the Knights.

Violence, ferocity, fearlessness, enthusiasm.

At the moment when the blades intersected, these people broke out in an honorary duel for the privilege of "fighting with Lan En".

Only then did they show their greatest characteristic of being the top knight order in the world today—absolute force!
