Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 313 312.Duane Canal

It's not far from the city of the dryads - Duan Canal.

The next day, a group of them came to the forest of giant trees. Blaine knelt down in front of the forest and buried his forehead in the lichen.

The three demon hunters couldn't help but look up the thick tree trunk, until their necks were raised to the extreme angle, and they still couldn't see the depth of the tree crown clearly.

The age of the trees here alone is enough to make intelligent creatures feel awe, even immortal species like elves.

Shirley's reaction was simple, she just sighed with envy. It seemed a pity that there was no such magnificent tree in her royal garden.

Lan En recognized that most of these strong and majestic trees were oak trees, as well as yew trees, white walnut trees, etc.

The diameter is basically ten meters upward. Just the way the thick and winding tree roots gather together and transform into a tree trunk is already two heads taller than Lan En, the tallest among them.

They moved forward quickly because there were no annoying vines and shrubs on the ground between the giant trees, and those plants had no resources to survive under the giant trees.

There was only a thick layer of rotting leaves among the huge gaps between the trees.

Although they walked briskly, no one spoke much. Even Xili, who couldn't take any time off and smiled evilly from time to time after being safe, remained silent and lowered her head.

Because among these giant trees, they looked small and insignificant.

Lan En was glad that there was no one with macrophobia in their group, otherwise the few hours' journey would have been very difficult.

Xili's cold was getting worse, which was manifested in the fact that her sniffing frequency and intensity were getting heavier and heavier, but there was still mucus coming out of her nose, which made her take out a handkerchief to wipe it clean many times.

Geralt, being the 'mount' carrying the princess, couldn't bear it at first. He taught Ciri how to blow her nose with her fingers, and Ciri seemed very happy.

She ran towards Lan En with a smile and sparkling green eyes. The young man knew at a glance that this kid wanted to perform live in front of him. Maybe even deliberately flicking snot onto his boots.

So he smiled and waited for Ciri to run over, but behind his back, his hands were ready for his brain to collapse.

But unexpectedly, after the little girl ran halfway, when she looked at Lan En's smiling expression, her smile suddenly faded and her face turned red.

Then he turned sharply and landed back on Geralt's back.

After Geralt put the princess on his back again, for some reason, his eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the silver-haired young man. With a bit of danger.

Lan En didn't know anything about this, but he was a little regretful that he didn't fight this crazy guy.

Brian, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped and turned around to speak to the three demon hunters.

"Witchers." She said as she took out a few pieces of cloth from her body, which were originally the hemostatic straps she had prepared.

"Come here, I must blindfold you before I can take you into Doon Canal."

Vesemir and Geralt stepped forward without surprise and asked Brain to tie their eyes. Lan En then nodded, indicating that he would do as the Romans do.

The only thing that caught his attention was that Ciri wasn't asked to wear a blindfold.

After his eyes were tied, Geralt couldn't carry Ciri on his back. The restless kid had almost recovered his ankle at this time, so he took the initiative to pull the demon hunter forward.

She chattered along the way, marveling at the animals and plants she had never seen in the outside world, and the magnificent scenery these things created.

She was trying to use the grammar she had learned to describe what she saw to the witchers.

But the grammar of a nine-year-old girl definitely cannot be expected to be perfect. Lan En only felt a heat on his face. It was the feeling of the sun breaking into the bushes and falling on his face and blindfold.

Then he shrugged his nose, feeling that the water vapor was getting thicker, and the silver necklace on his chest began to tremble continuously.

The magic power of chaos is gradually getting stronger.

"We're here, you can take off your blindfolds, witchers."

The thick fog formed by water vapor reached Blaine's knees. She proudly introduced it to the demon hunters who had taken off their blindfolds and were rubbing their eyes.

"Duane Kanal, this is the land of oaks, the heart of Broklon."

Geralt and Vesemir have both been here. Either for a mission, or for something else, anyway, they have been here.

Lan En and Ciri are the real first meeting.

This is a settlement built in a sinkhole. The upper hole is covered by a vast green canopy, and mist and steam come out from the gaps in the soil and rocks. It seems that there should be geothermal hot springs here.

The buildings in the settlement are all grown naturally from trees, which are spread out in the sinkhole like vines clinging to tree trunks.

The dryads have the supernatural ability to interfere with the growth of plants. They can obtain a set of buildings of their choice without chopping with knives and axes.

Just be patient and let the tree grow.

As it happens, the tree spirits of the Immortal Plant are not lacking in patience.

Between the houses arranged vertically in the space, a porous mushroom with a large umbrella cover is used as steps and passages.

At the beginning of their arrival, the sinkhole was completely silent, without a shadow.

But when Brian blew a loud and sweet whistle, a tree spirit came down from a slightly higher house on mushrooms.

After they exchanged a few words with each other in the awkward but beautiful ancient language, Lann heard Vesemir next to him heaving a sigh of relief.

"Huh, Aisna agreed to meet, which is good news."

The old witcher muttered briskly.

Now Lan Enneng was sure that muttering to himself was indeed an occupational disease among witchers.

The dryads did not have as cumbersome etiquette as human palaces. Before meeting the king, they had to bathe, shave, and put on tight-fitting clothes. They waited until the king summoned them to go in and salute, and then waited in line to speak.

In Duan Canal, Aisna said that she could meet, which meant that she could meet immediately.

After receiving a positive answer, Brian led the group directly to the door of a large building.

"Come in, witchers, you can see Lady Eisna. Vá fáill, poor little guy."

"What?"

Ciri turned her head towards Vesemir in confusion. She already knew who was the most knowledgeable among the three. And her relationship with the old witcher progressed rapidly.

"It means goodbye, Ciri. She's saying goodbye."

"Ah! Goodbye, Blaine."

They walked in. When Geralt and Vesemir entered, there was nothing there, but when Ciri walked into the room, a man's voice was so irritable and almost crazy that he suddenly yelled out.

"Little rascal! So you're here! I caught you! Good luck to you, I can't get out of bed now, or I'll make your butt explode!"

Ciri pouted.

"You want to spank me?" She wrinkled her nose funny, "I'm a lady. You can't spank a lady! This is wrong."

Lan En followed Ciri into the house. He was sure that the guy in front of him who was lying on the bed with a bandage on his shoulder and bleeding was not really trying to do something to Ciri.

The tone was more like educating a child who was disobedient and ran around.

"Sir, before you educate this 'lady'." Referring to Shiri as a 'lady' really made Lan En's tongue stuck.

The little girl smiled proudly at Lan En.

"Before that, should you inform me of your identity?"

"My identity, hum, my identity." The man with the bleeding bandage sounded indignant at first, but as he spoke, a sense of confusion and distress emerged.

"I was once Baron Bodrog, a governor under King Iver. But now? Now?!. You little scoundrel! What's left of me after you run away from my caravan? ?!”

"I have transformed from a governor into a wanted criminal in Verden! The only thing waiting for me in my fief is the gallows!"
