Wait!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elia saw clearly the gray shadow being pinned to the ground by Lann; it was a strong and agile wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A still not fully grown Ice Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This is Nymelia! It’s my wolf!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s cat eyes met the wolf’s eyes on the ground; even under such pressure, this wolf’s eyes showed no hint of submission.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its hind and front paws continued to claw forcefully at Lann’s armor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There’s a stubborn strength there.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Elia.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The blood in its mouth is human blood, Elia.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann could tell by a light whiff, having grown familiar with this scent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No! It’s not human blood... well, it is human blood, but it’s Geoffrey’s blood!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elia explained anxiously; she was well aware of what Lann’s power represented and what Lann’s attitude towards ’eating people’ was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If this punch really came down, Nymelia’s head would probably become a puddle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hit Geoffrey with a stick, Geoffrey chased me with a sword, and only then did Nymelia bite him! It’s not its fault!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elia wrapped her hands around Lann’s raised-arm, preventing him from striking down.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, Elia, calm it down; I need to be sure it won’t bare its teeth before I let go of my hand.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Ice Wolf indeed seemed different from ordinary wolves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When Nymelia struggled under Lann’s grip, baring its teeth and growling, but when Elia touched its head, although Lann’s restraining move didn’t change, it instantly turned as gentle as a domesticated puppy.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was very intelligent; even well-trained domestic dogs would temporarily ignore their owner’s comfort when enraged in crisis.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann slowly released the grip on the wolf’s neck.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As Elia said, Nymelia neither turned to bite nor bared its teeth again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Instead, it buried its head into Elia’s embrace with a \"whimper\".\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elia, like a little girl playing with her pet, hugged the wolf’s large head.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann stood aside, arms crossed, watching.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That’s great, Nymelia! You haven’t run far. With Lann here, you don’t have to leave me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But after the little girl had a moment of affection with the wolf, Lann noticed Elia’s expression turned a bit bewildered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What’s wrong?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No, nothing, just...\" Elia moved the wolf’s large head from side to side, looking closely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Nymelia occasionally licked its nose, showing no sign of evasion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The blood on Nymelia’s mouth looks just like the day it bit Geoffrey, but... it still feels damp to the touch? But I’ve been gone for a long time now?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Elia clearly remembered the details of the day she hit Geoffrey, as she drove Nymelia away herself to avoid royal retribution.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She knew the royal family couldn’t kill her, but they could certainly kill an Ice Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Memories of parting are always clear, and she remembered very well the shape of the blood on Nymelia’s mouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Different time flow?\" Lann speculated. \"After all, it crossed worlds, so it’s very possible the time flow is different.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then saw Elia looking confusedly at him, clearly not understanding the term.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as Lann was about to explain to her, a loud cheer came from the distant forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aha! We’ve caught the butcher’s son!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Quick, quick! Hand him over to the ’Hound’, let’s go claim the reward!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time the voices were loud enough that even Elia could hear them clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She immediately tightened her expression, murmuring, \"It’s Mika! He’s been caught!\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1119,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.941Z",1,"novelbin.me","bf1a8e089a05eaea3677f933d2fb41dd5000ab816f3a010826221f4cd8ef33ab","bear-school-astartes-chapter-138","bear-school-astartes-chapter-136",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
