Lann!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He shouted excitedly, having previously hoped for Lann to flee quickly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He couldn’t imagine anyone defeating all the enemies in the camp single-handedly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now, he had witnessed it all firsthand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The child’s excitement was pure, overshadowing the fear from captivity and walking through corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Lann was glad White was a boy who would not rush forward to hug him like a girl might, merely standing excitedly in front of him and bouncing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sss-\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A drop of nosebleed fell, landing on the sand with a slight corrosive sizzle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, even a single drop of blood from him was lethal to an ordinary strong man.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White hurriedly dashed to Lann, jumping with astonishment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You did it, Lann! You really defeated all the bad guys in the camp! I bet there were at least a hundred in that camp! No, two hundred!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann smiled at this; his legs began to weaken. After the fierce battle, the temporary body enhancements provided by [Thunder] could no longer keep up with the toxins destroying his body.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The heavily armored body plopped onto the sand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Startling both Philip and White.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The boy’s continuous astonishment came to a sudden halt, and he and Philip rushed forward, wanting to help Lann up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Demon Hunter raised his hand to stop them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He really couldn’t come into contact with ordinary people right now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wiping his nose, his spiked leather gauntlet, already stained with blood, gained an additional inky bloodstain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Under the corrosion of the toxin, every bone was in pain, every muscle straining to the point of snapping...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet Lann looked at White’s big head and still gave a hearty laugh.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saved them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>For Madam Donald’s instructions, for his guilt towards himself, he beautifully accomplished all of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saved a family, a family whose matriarch bravely and optimistically faces life, a family whose young son wanted to ensure the escape of others even in the final moments.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly was... amazing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No need to come over; I just... let out a breath of relief.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip and White were at a loss, watching Lann’s sitting-on-the-ground smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Demon Hunter conversed with his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I’m only certain now, Mentos.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"About what?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That I have the ability to live in this world, according to my own wishes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The young Demon Hunter’s tone carried a resolute confidence and optimism.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In this bloody dark night, it was like a bright sun.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"This world... it can’t stop me!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Mentos remained silent for a moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just like Lann’s tone, the emotional curve had, for once, started stabilizing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You are very happy, sir. This is good, but if I may...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The tone of the intelligent voice became emotionless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you don’t drink that bottle of basic [White Honey] from the Alchemy Pouch soon, the world won’t have to stop a corpse.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann buried his head in the Alchemy Pouch, rummaging and finally found a bottle of milky potion.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[White Honey], a self-detoxifying agent the Demon Hunter prepared to counteract the magic potion’s poisons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hurriedly gulping it down, the blackness on Lann’s face and eyes started to fade.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But even after the full effect of [White Honey], the black did not completely disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the strengthened levels of [Thunder] and [Blizzard], the basic [White Honey] seemed quite insufficient.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White was watching Lann intently; seeing him drink the potion and his complexion improve dramatically, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip’s expression wasn’t much different. As he exhaled, his massive body trembled slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Buddy, your face looks like a dead man’s...are you really okay?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann sat on the ground, helplessly tapping his forehead with his hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Seems like there’s a bit of a problem. If I have to detoxify myself, it’ll take half a month, to nurse back a body ravaged by toxins, at least a month... Recuperation alone would take nearly two months!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Apparently, the life of a Demon Hunter is truly not an easy one.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip scratched his head at Lann’s words, echoing the sentiment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But Lann’s gaze swept over the wooden cages on the beach, and an idea formed in his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sergeant, how are you going to deal with these victims?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Just call me Philip,\" Philip replied carelessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"We’ll take them back to Raven’s Nest, and the knight will probably give a speech, post notices—you know he won’t miss a chance to elevate his prestige. Then they’ll be sent home.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Well, that itinerary seems reasonable.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann turned to White with a smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"You should follow that itinerary, White. Madam Donald is at home waiting for you, and I have to deal with my troubles.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann pointed to the remaining black toxins on his face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>White initially hesitated, but once mentioning Madam Donald, the little boy obediently complied.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Philip, would you mind sending me a letter once the child is home safe? Just deliver it to the blacksmith’s in Gos Velen. I made two friends there.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"No problem, buddy. It’s simple.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Also, you might not know. There’s a significant person in that cage; before you report to Viserad, you’ll need to send her away. Her injuries aren’t looking good.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Hey, significant? How significant?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip never intended to refuse Lann’s suggestion; even if she were a commoner, as long as Lann asked, he would send her away first. But still, he habitually joked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann looked at him with a knowing smile.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Head of Airetusa Academy.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Cough, cough!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Philip clutched his chest with the hand not holding the torch, taking a while to recover.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"York! Where’d you disappear to! Prepare the horses! Quickly prepare the horses! Can’t you see there’s an injured person! Make a makeshift stretcher, and do it sturdy and soft, got it!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After having a friendly chat with the nearby Long Halberd Soldiers, Philip hurried to support Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright, buddy. I get what’s happening now. You spearheaded the assault on the whole camp, so you’ve got a major favor owed to you. Those minor issues you’ve got—at Airetusa, a Female Warlock could deal with them in one breath.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thanks for the encouragement,\" Lann said weakly, standing up.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What he sought to trade for was definitely more than just detoxifying these minor issues.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And just as the two were about to reach the prison where Margaret was held, White, lagging behind at the port, shouted joyfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alia! You weren’t taken away!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dim moonlight, a small, exhausted child crawled out of the water onto the shore.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Laying on the sand, unwilling to move for now.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann guessed this was likely a little friend White had met while being imprisoned.\u003C\u002Fp>",1230,"2026-06-06T10:40:07.941Z",1,"novelbin.me","c88c69b5baf71ba805bceba6c72f8fa2381cfaff73d5e005495e331539d2f4c9","bear-school-astartes-chapter-12","bear-school-astartes-chapter-11",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
