That’s where the tree spirits of Brokilon gather.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, another sentence was shouted in the ancient language, and Geralt’s expression suddenly turned surprised.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Vesemir says... he’s here to see Aisne? He’s specifically here to meet the Tree Spirit Queen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon hearing Geralt’s translation, Lann also frowned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He thought that King Venceslav found a renowned Demon Hunter Grandmaster to handle some tricky curse or monster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But what kind of commission could make Vesemir head straight for the Tree Spirit Queen?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, a female voice speaking the ancient language interrupted the conversation, finally breaking the solo performance of the old man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the mouths of tree spirits, the ancient language was like melodious singing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Understanding their conversation, Geralt directly pulled Lann, who was still moving forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Okay, stop. The tree spirit discovered us. She was just asking Vesemir when Demon Hunters started traveling together.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Oh.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann nodded calmly, sliding Aron Dite back into the sheath at his waist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For a regular human, what Geralt said would be as bad as a death sentence, as everyone knows how tree spirits treat humans who enter Brokilon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann was, after all, a Demon Hunter who had met the tree spirits and even briefly cooperated with them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To avoid unnecessary hostility, Geralt and Lann stopped advancing and waited in place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soon, the sound of ’rustling’ from the friction of tree branches and leaves echoed around them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, along a path the two Demon Hunters were already wary of, several tree spirits seemed to appear out of thin air, stepping out from behind trees that couldn’t possibly conceal them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Bows and arrows were aimed at the two Demon Hunters’ eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt blocked Lann behind him with one hand and stammered a greeting: \"Esseá Gwyn Bleidd!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann guessed he was introducing himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The basis of eliminating hostility and the first step to show sincerity is to let others know who you are.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While Geralt was translating common speech into the ancient language in his mind and then speaking it clumsily,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>he realized the tree spirits surrounding them seemed uninterested in him, the speaker.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The honey-haired tree spirit on the other side had her pupils focused past him, looking at what was behind him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hi, nice to see you again, Bryan.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Like familiar humans casually greeting each other, Lann raised a hand and waved to the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What a coincidence, you patrolled here, and we meet again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt watched as the honey-haired tree spirit nodded to the bear cub behind him and then gestured to her kindred to lower their bows.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You speak to them using the common language from the start? It’s lucky they even bother with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt glanced backward, meeting the confused gaze of the young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I don’t know the ancient language; I definitely spoke in common language the whole way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt pursed his lips... Fine.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>I knew good-looking people have it easy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No one seemed concerned about the musings of a lone old wolf; Bryan tilted her head, scrutinizing the silver-haired Demon Hunter she’d briefly cooperated with before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The forest brings us together again.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After speaking, she turned to walk toward the direction the old voice came from, gesturing for the two Demon Hunters to follow obediently.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Following the tree spirit, even the tangling branches and weeds in the forest seemed to tame, reducing the exertion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking a short distance behind Bryan, Lann and Geralt saw a brick-red-haired tree spirit talking to an old man, about 1.7 meters tall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The brick-red-haired tree spirit was the leader of Bryan’s squad, whom Lann had met before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the 1.7-meter-tall old man, he too had white hair. But unlike Geralt’s sickly white hair and Lann’s dazzling silver hair, his was gray-white from natural aging.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had a nose that was reddening but not swollen into a rhino’s nose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was wearing composite medium armor, made of cotton and chain mail with some metal plates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Considering his apparent age, wearing such armor while maintaining an upright posture, and standing calmly this deep in the primal forest seemed unbelievable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But his amber cat eyes made it all plausible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Geralt?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The old man first noticed his student, exclaiming in surprise.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why are you here? Who is this beside you...?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann felt a keen gaze sweep across his chest for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The oldest Demon Hunter he’d seen so far confirmed his school right at the moment of meeting.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quite rare, since strangers usually focus on his face at first glance. This action was almost uncontrollable, much like how men cannot control their gaze towards a woman’s open neckline.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Geralt awkwardly coughed into his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann, standing beside him, murmured softly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buddy, the tone of that sounded like... an elderly grandparent stumbling upon a playful grandkid? You must be nearly a hundred now, right?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ugh~ Vesemir is like that. He...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I always considered you lot like kids who would wet their pants at the sight of Demon Spirits. Speak candidly, Geralt. That’s what I think.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the breath he hadn’t fully caught, Geralt was choked again by his school Grandmaster.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann sympathetically glanced at the continuously tormented White Wolf.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing his apprentice well, Vesemir didn’t even look at Geralt; instead, he examined the unusually tall, silver-haired young man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems the incomplete mutation formulas you took eventually worked, a blind cat and a dead rat moment. Your emotions are rich and normal. Hello, Bear School Child. I am Vesemir of the Wolf School, an old Demon Hunter.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Surrounded by tree spirits lowering their bows, Lann collided his arm with the amiable smiling Wolf Sect Grandmaster, clasping each other’s forearms.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Aside from you two coming to Brokilon for a mission, could you be looking for me?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon releasing their grip, the Wolf Sect Grandmaster spoke casually.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unlucky for you, I’ve got a mission, and it’s quite busy. Can you wait if you have something urgent?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unexpectedly, Lann shook his head in embarrassment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Master...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call me by my name.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well then, Vesemir. The matter I’m here for also needs to be completed within a few weeks.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, bit of a schedule conflict,\" the old Demon Hunter stroked his beard. \"So, kid...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you interested in running a task with an old Demon Hunter?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann smiled, \"I’d be honored.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1158,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.942Z",1,"novelbin.me","a5d62423ac04981f66186c48d5ba4ee7817425d075aa1830090cc63fc0ac7425","bear-school-astartes-chapter-306","bear-school-astartes-chapter-304",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
