Where did you find this monster of a size?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar was certain that no normal horse could grow to this size, wear armor, carry a person weighing over 300 kilograms, and jump directly up from a dirt platform over a meter high.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already assumed that this cloth-covered ’horse’ was a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>What intrigued him was that he had never heard or seen such a beast.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Due to the high-risk nature of their profession, Demon Hunters naturally have a fondness for fine weapons, armor, and warhorses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even though Belengar had been retired for a long time, this fondness persisted.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So he was certain that if such a beast had been discovered by Demon Hunters before, even just out of interest, the Demon Hunters would have documented it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann bent down and lifted the rune-cloth covering the Kirin’s side face.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thus, the face resembling a feline appeared before Belengar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Kirin had been learning quickly lately; it politely turned its head to face Belengar with its front, and even slightly nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though only a corner of the rune-cloth was lifted, the Kirin’s mane, skin, and muscular contours already left a deep impression in the eyes of the knowledgeable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Meretelli... What a horse!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar exclaimed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"How did you tame it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a ’whoosh,’ the Kirin suddenly changed its friendly demeanor towards Belengar, snorting and turning its head away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann quickly patted its neck, trying to smooth its fur.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"There’s no taming involved, the Kirin’s intelligence surpasses the average human level, we’re cooperating partners.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wow...,\" Belengar licked his lips, looking back at the scorched patch of ground where sparks had splashed out when the Kirin briefly got angry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I must be going blind, to have mistaken a ’holy spirit’ for a beast.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Apart from other skills, Belengar was at least confident in ’knowing the times.’\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The last otherworldly experience I had was quite magical...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>On the road, Lann talked with Belengar about his experiences in the monster world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, to their astonishment, they discovered that the creature Belengar saw that arrived due to the convergence of celestial spheres was likely a male fire dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hard scales, fiery red body color, flying through the sky with king-like majesty...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So you’re saying, that dragon which spews fireballs more fierce than wizard magic is truly a naturally born species?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar’s face looked odd.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What kind of supernatural world is that?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"And the normal male fire dragon you encountered is merely a mid-level ecological niche in that world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann kindly reminded from the Kirin’s back, causing Belengar’s mouth to twitch more severely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Alright then, I have some appreciation for your rush in improving the ’Turbid Stream.’\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Ordinary weapons aren’t meant to deal with that sort of thing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two of them chatted while walking along the muddy and damp path in Velen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Velen still presented a gloomy and desolate appearance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even the lush new leaves on the branches appeared an ominous dark green.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Tall trees pierced the somber sky, and crows or something fluttered about in the forest, mixed with wolf howls and stray dog screams.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ordinary people wouldn’t survive half a day in the wild of Velen before ending up as chewed-over corpses.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But for two Demon Hunters, this was just another common scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They kept a steady pace together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This speed was primarily dictated by Bopai’s stamina; otherwise, with the Kirin’s speed and endurance, even though Lann was on its back unable to use ’Flash,’ it could race ahead relentlessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>According to Belengar, Ker Morhan is located northeast of Codwin, in the Blue Mountain, above the Gwernic River. It’s truly: the edge of the civilized world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was an abandoned large castle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The reason for abandonment was the gradual trend of humans forming towns at the time, thus populations gathered towards Codwin’s existing large cities.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With the surrounding human villages no longer providing supplies and the castle no longer needing to provide protection, it gradually fell into disuse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then, centuries ago, came the story of Demon Hunters rebuilding this place as the headquarters of the Demon Hunter Order.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Along the way, Lann talked to Belengar about the several worlds he had experienced.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t discussed these details with anyone before; Margaret and Tishaya would only worry more hearing these stories.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But fellow Demon Hunter Belengar could listen calmly to these past dangers.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A great confidant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Belengar also shared stories about Codwin and Ker Morhan with Lann.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was somewhat strange that although the young Demon Hunter had crossed worlds multiple times through celestial sphere convergences, he hadn’t visited three of the Northern Kingdoms where he was.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Henselt is a veritable ’Wild Boar King,’ though his dynasty was crowned with the purity of ’Unicorn’ due to bloodline and legal reasons. Can you believe it? Just because he thought a merchant made too much money in Ad Calais, he raised the exit tax specifically on the day that merchant left town!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"In my career, I’ve encountered thief-like councilors, beggar-like councilors, princess-like prostitutes, pregnant cow-like princesses, and thief-like kings. But I must say...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Belengar’s chuckle even made him sway on horseback.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Such an unrefined king is truly rare in the world.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann was indeed baffled that such a person could become king.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, the young Demon Hunter looked up at the sky; though it was only around four or five in the afternoon, during summer it should have been a bright dusk.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But above them, dark and heavy clouds were already piled up. Velen’s towering trees swayed in the wind, becoming silhouettes under the clouds.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At the same time, their nostrils were filled with the earthy scent before rain.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"The wind is strong; it’s going to rain soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lann’s gaze returned from the sky, he brushed the silver hair blown into the side of his mouth by the damp breeze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Let’s find an inn and continue chatting.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",1057,"2026-06-06T10:40:26.754Z",1,"novelbin.me","2f319196bb342262da013ff1a99e5725bae887fb384c5396d0a5125e064ab8a5","bear-school-astartes-chapter-795","bear-school-astartes-chapter-793",1043,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fbear-school-astartes-cover.jpg"]
