Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1240 1212. Goodbye
A celebratory banquet that turned a disaster into a blessing ended in great spirits among the investigation team.

Everyone is happy but not self-indulgent. Those who can come to the New World are elites who have been honed in the Old World and they all have good self-control.

After everyone had drunk just the right amount of alcohol and felt pleasantly tipsy, the party slowly began to wind down.

Lan still lived in the same room with Aiden as before.

However, Winder, who used to live together, seemed to have performed very well in the investigation team recently, but the investigation team didn't have any outstanding rewards as a commendation.

So the commander-in-chief raised his housing standards and had a large house specially built in the workshop area as a reward for him.

I heard that he was so timid on the day he moved out that even Aiden, a cheerful guy, wanted to beat him up.

Of course, it’s impossible to beat him if he really hits him.

"Let him live alone!" Aiden said in a sour tone, but he didn't want others to see the sourness. "Besides the big glass observation mirror embedded in the bottom of the pool, what fun is there in that room? Can we chat? Hmm?"

Lan En immediately nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, yes, indeed."

But when Lan En had a couple of drinks with the commander-in-chief just now, he heard that Winder's performance was still improving by leaps and bounds.

The ecological survey activities in the two areas of Coral Plateau and Miasma Valley, which had been stagnant, made rapid progress due to the military support of this "super powerful hunter".

The commander-in-chief felt that it would not be long before he would have to upgrade Winder's housing standards again.

But perhaps because they were not good at building this kind of "luxury housing as a reward", the craftsmen in the workshop area set the bar too high when building the first one, so they couldn't afford to build the second one, right?
There was no other choice but for the commander-in-chief to decide whether to move the assembly area on the top of the mountain.

That was the ocean-going ship that was swept to the top of the mountain when it landed on the New World due to the fight between the steel dragon and an unknown ancient dragon.

A courtyard was built on the top of the mountain behind the ship as an encouragement to Winder's contribution.

But that is a matter for the future. Now at least there is a vacant bed, so Berengar has a place to stay and lives in the same room with Aiden and Lan.

Tishaya was placed in an empty women's room.

After a night.

We first experienced the hot Big Anthill Desert, and then arrived at the Ancient Tree Forest.

After a day of bumpy ride and losing the chaotic magic environment, Tishaya felt extremely light after getting up.

The fresh sea breeze and air from the New World were flowing, and she opened the door and walked outside.

The water flow at high altitude is transformed into a soothing small waterfall because its power is intercepted by artificial equipment.

Even the gaps in the wooden floors made of dried wood seemed to be sprouting grass due to their vigorous vitality, and some of the wooden floors had even grown into a whole piece.

"Good morning."

Lan En leaned against the railing and greeted the sorceress with a smile.

His profile was facing the morning light on the sea, which made Tishaya subconsciously tighten the collar of her pajamas that she had borrowed from the women in the investigation team.

"Did you sleep well?"

The demon hunter asked casually, raising his hand to push back the molten silver hair that was blown to his eyes by the sea breeze.

“Great environment, although the bed is a bit hard and the table is shaped like a plank cut directly from a tree, not regular at all.”

Tishaya walked barefoot on the wooden floor to Lan's side, gazing at the distant sea and the endless forest spread out by ancient trees.

"But it's really strange. I thought that I should have gotten used to Chaos Magic both physically and instinctively. However, I don't feel uncomfortable here without Chaos Magic."

As she spoke, Tishaya looked at her hands with interest.

Normally, as long as she had a thought, light would appear on this hand. But now there was no movement.

Lan En glanced to the side at the sorceress.

The pajamas she borrowed from the women in the investigation team were called pajamas, but they were actually just a shirt.

The hem of the shirt barely covered her hips, leaving the sorceress's graceful and long legs completely exposed.

"Ahem." The witcher coughed twice politely as a reminder.

Although this level of dressing was nothing for the sorceress, Tissaya once communicated with him through a telescope wrapped in only a bath towel after bathing, with water even dripping from her body.

The nonchalant look on his face was as if he was treating him like a little kid.

While this is true in terms of age, you still have to be careful in the New World.

"Change your clothes, Tishaya. We don't have much time left here, so we have to get down to business."

The witcher stuck out his thumb and pointed behind him.

That direction was exactly the first arena built in the Star Base.

The sorceress squinted her eyes at the young witcher who was looking at her calmly, chuckled, and turned back to the room.

When Lan En and Tishaya came down from the residential area, they walked along the winding wooden stairs built along the mountain and headed towards the arena. On the way, Lan En and Tishaya had a limited discussion on how to block the chaotic magic carried by the corpse of the [Mist Nest Master].

But in fact, most of the time it was Tishaya explaining her own ideas, and Lan En just tried to understand.

After all, this kind of thing is usually done more by serious spellcasters, and demon hunters rarely have the opportunity to get involved, so they have no experience.

When we arrived at the arena which was built with countless thick and huge trees and surrounded by three layers inside and outside, there were already many people busy there.

The arena was still roughly the same as when Lan En and the Ecological Research Institute dissected the Fiery Claw Brute.

There is a layer of compacted loess on the rock foundation, and there is also a terrain specially created to allow hunters to fully display their hunting skills.

For example, stone steps or a gentle slope.

Of course, these terrains can sometimes cause the blood pressure of less skilled hunters to soar.

For example, when the swordsman used the [Dragon Ascending Sword], he stepped on the edge of the stairs when he landed hard, sprained his ankle, and chopped the sword off-center.
Today, the arena will fulfill another function - a place for anatomical research on monsters.

"Wow! Long time no see. You look very impressive today, Wend!"

Before Lan and Tissaya walked into the arena, the demon hunter raised his hand and greeted a hunter who was leaning against the gate and drinking a [energy drink] in a familiar manner.

The hunter was wearing a very handsome and elegant set of equipment.

The crimson material was made to look like bundles of exposed muscle, wrapping the entire body, but if you look closely, the arrangement of the lines looks somewhat like leaping flames.

The gauntlets and boots are made of bone material, creating the look of claws and toes.

There is a red ghost mask on the head, which adds a Japanese style.

Lan En always felt that the cultures of many regions in the old continent of this world had something in common with many cultures of his hometown world.

Because of the full-face Japanese ghost mask helmet, Lan En actually did not recognize this person.

But Lan En recognized the ginger-colored Felynx who was standing at the hunter's feet, holding the glass bottle with his two little paws and tilting his head back to pour the [Energy Drink] into his mouth.

That was Winder's hunting partner, Garfield.

"Yeah, long time no see. You really kept me busy as soon as you came."

After drinking a bottle of refreshing drink, Winder's voice was indeed heard from under the ghost mask helmet.

"I received an emergency notice yesterday and had to rush to the transit base in the Great Ant Mound Wasteland to repel a Flame King Dragon. I set off in a hurry, but I was caught up by someone who kept hanging on the Pteranodon until midnight. They said that everything was fine over there and I had to rush back to Xingchen."

This guy's mouth isn't that foul outside of combat, but there's still some complaint in his tone.

"You really don't let me rest for a while!"

Garfield, who was standing at his feet, had just finished drinking the refreshing [energy drink] and echoed in a contemptuous and resentful tone.

"Don't let me rest for a while, meow~"

Winder hung on the pterosaur until midnight, so Garfield must have hung on Winder's legs for half the night as well.

It is really unlikely that ordinary people can support using pterosaurs as a means of transportation.

The ginger cat shook his head and sighed as he put the empty glass bottle back into his bag.

By the way, this hunter who is proficient in all hunting weapons now carries a pair of double swords. They appear to be ice attribute weapons made from wind dragon materials.

The so-called water-attribute weapons of hunters are water with excellent biological permeability produced by the "water bag" organs in the monsters' bodies.

That kind of water can directly penetrate into the body once it hits you, disrupting the electrolyte balance and causing water poisoning.

Ice attribute weapons utilize the special freezing air produced by the [Ice Bag].

This freezing air can easily freeze the moisture in the air into ice crystals, which then melt quickly. Although this process is much faster than normal melting, the amount of heat taken away is just as great.

This can effectively lower the prey's body temperature, thereby weakening the prey's athletic performance.

Whether it is water attribute or ice attribute, it can have a multiplier effect on the Flame Dragon.

It can be seen that even in a very short time after receiving the emergency notice, Winder still relied on his own experience and level to come up with a targeted plan to deal with the Flame Dragon.

Winder lifted the ghost mask of his helmet, revealing his face.

For the thick-skinned members of the investigation team, even complaints would only pass in a moment.

So now Winder's face was more full of curiosity.

"I heard that you want to bring back the body of the Tyrannosaurus Rex that has escaped to your world. Can you really do that?"

"I can't do it, but it's called [magic]."

Lan kept walking past Winder, and the hunter and the cat followed him naturally.
