Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1460 1432. The Front
Just a few words determined an earthquake that could sweep across Novigrad, but Lan and Stuart didn't think there was anything wrong.

Speaking of Novigrad, the situation there is very complicated and everyone in the world wants to get a piece of the pie there.

However, the so-called free city-state, if it does not have the support of power, will naturally be able to maintain its independent image on weekdays.

But the spark of war has been ignited, and all delicate things that are not strong enough and heavy enough will collapse under the crushing of war.

There are so many petty intrigues in the city, but usually no one turns the table over because they have to consider the interests on the table.

The city is in chaos, what is the value of fighting for it?
The ultimate goal of fighting is money. How stupid would a person be if he destroyed the city where money is made in the process of fighting?

But war sweeps everything onto a bigger table.

This exquisite and expensive "little table" from Novigrad can be overturned on the spot when the need arises.

Stuart nodded to indicate that he accepted the order. At the same time, he took out a very rough thread-bound book from his backpack and handed it to Lan En.

"This is..." Lan En looked down and said, "Oh, Comicus asked you to pass it on? Thank you."

To call it a thread-bound book is an exaggeration. It is basically just a few pieces of slightly cut parchment loosely sewn together with needle and thread.

As early as when Lan En summoned Komikus's soul to greet him, the old sorcerer from the Great Swamp of the Fire World had already told him.

On their way from the Deep Cathedral to Irithyll, this group of people discovered some ancient and profound knowledge, among which the discovery about spells was a great one.

In that decadent world, the knowledge and secrets that were once hidden throughout the world began to surface before the collapse.

When Lan En first got the spell book, he just flipped through the first page without paying any attention.

[Kasas's Beacon Fire], [Kasas's Bent Fire].

This seemed to be a spell taken from the Kasas people who were trapped and died in the underground passage connecting the Deep Cathedral and Irithyll.

[Fire Bending] is insignificant, it just wraps the weapon with spellfire.

And Lan En had been able to do the same thing a long time ago with his swordsmanship skills, namely the [Water-Shaped Sword·Flowing Fire Blade].

[Beacon] starts to become a bit interesting. It can slightly increase the recipient's strength each time during continuous attacks.

It's like slowly and gradually stimulating the inner strength of the recipient's body.

This undoubtedly confirms Lan En's insights into [Spell Fire]: this spell system, which was born in the world of fire, is manifested as fire on the outside, but its essence is more like the manipulation of life.

But that's all, it just confirms Lan's theory.

And then, after flipping a few pages carelessly, Lan En's pupils suddenly contracted!

Because what caught his eyes was already the [Chaos Fireball]!
The power of chaos fire!
The power of the origin of the curse can distort the entire life of the ancient gods in the world of fire, including their bodies and souls, into a flame that is out of control!

If the essence of spellfire is the control over life, then the origin and peak of this control power is undoubtedly [Chaos Fire]!
This time, Lan En did not see any new extraordinary fire.

But with this spell book, he is able to practice this kind of fire himself!

The power of Chaos Fire and the distortion it can cause to life are both terrifying things, but they are not worth Lan En's excitement.

After all, he was not a traditional sorcery student who devoted himself to and pursued sorcery wholeheartedly.

But the key is
Mentos and Lan En were in tune with each other the moment they saw the [Chaos Fireball].

The biochemical intelligent brain automatically transmits the feasibility of this knowledge into the "organ enhancement plan" that it and the subject had planned early on.

Then, the analysis progress bar of this plan started to jump up suddenly!
At the same time, in the analysis of the spell [Double Cross of Alzu], after adding the variable of Chaos Fire, the progress which had been slow, there was a visible improvement!
"Sir?" Stuart frowned as he looked at Lan, who had fallen into deep thought after receiving the spell book. "Is there something wrong with this book?"

"No, it's nothing, it's just that the knowledge in it comes at a very timely moment." Lan En patted the spell book happily and put it in the alchemical leather bag.

This is not something that can be learned and mastered in a short period of time.

At the same time, he seemed to have touched something in the alchemical leather bag at his waist and pulled it out.

It was a long steel stick with patterns like black smoke and water waves on it.

"I remember," Lann said, placing the long stick between Stuart and himself, "you kept Hackso's scepter, didn't you?"

Haxo's scepter is called his scepter, but it is actually the proof of his identity and power as the mayor of Sintra.

The mayor of Sintra, who was also Haxo's brother-in-law, died in the massacre.

The palace steward, who used to wear powder and make a fuss over a cut on his hand, took up the scepter and began to fight against the Nilfgaardians. In the end, the scepter became a torture instrument, which executed Hacksall and crippled Stuart.

Stuart has always kept the relic from his father, which was also the torture instrument that crippled him.

When he was disabled, he would use it every day.

"You seem to be used to using a stick." Lan handed the long stick to Stuart. "This is a trophy I took from an enemy. Maybe it will suit you."

Stuart tried to catch it with both hands, but because he used too much force in his arms, he lifted them up suddenly when he caught it.

Embers Knight looked at Lan with surprise.

"It's enchanted." Lan En shrugged. "It was lighter than it is now, and the inertia of swinging it was also greater than it is now."

"But with your magic power, you probably can't activate the magic above, so Margarita changed it slightly. Reduce the effect, but also reduce the consumption."

The magic on Viggofort's staff is very different from the enchantments on the market.

The enchanted weapons on the market do not require the user to input magic power into them, because people with magic power are either wizards or demon hunters.

Only a wizard would be stupid to use weapons for close combat, and only a demon hunter would be crazy to spend all his belongings to buy an expensive enchanted weapon.

And this staff was obviously an item tailor-made by a genius wizard for himself.

"Sir, please thank Ms. Margarita for me." Stuart waved his stick, looking really vigorous, and expressed his gratitude according to etiquette. "But who is the enemy you are talking about?"

"To be frank, it was Viggo Fortz, the archmage who led the rebellion. Don't tell anyone. Now is not the time to reveal the details of the coup."

"You have killed him, then?"

"As soon as I finished dealing with the follow-up matters, I went to search the ruins of our original battlefield, but I only found this weapon. There was no trace of his body that I had chopped off, so to be honest, he should still be alive."

Lan En was not surprised and spoke without any impatience.

"He was holding a wishing spell of a genie in his hand at the time, and how he got the genie is also a question. So no matter what, he is still a hidden threat."

"You must first go to Novigrad and complete my mission, and then immediately go to Sakia in Aedirn to stabilize the situation of the rebels. The Nilfgaardian offensive will put a huge pressure on the rebels. And the external pressure will be reflected in the internal division."

"I need you to suppress the signs of division among the rebels."

"But for the others, their main task will be to find Vigfortz's trail. It would be dangerous for anyone to let him hide successfully."

Stuart saluted: "We have no more opinions, we will implement your will. But there is still one problem."

Speaking of this, Stuart frowned and looked very serious.

"I have already assigned the tasks." Lan En tilted his head, "So I need you to tell me directly if you have any difficulties. This way I can solve the difficulties."

"We need a commander, my lord."

Stuart was also not pretentious and blurted out the answer directly.

"Your occasional disappearance is really annoying, especially for an organization like the military that values ​​opportunity as much as life."

"Of course, we are the Embers who follow you, so we are able and confident to run ourselves."

"But to be honest, our fighting style requires a strong striker. Just like when you led us on Mount Sodden."

"He doesn't have to be perfect like you, mastering everything in decision-making, judgment, and bravery, but he must at least be able to fight exceptionally well. Only in this way can the Embers Knights achieve their maximum combat efficiency. Because that's how we trained them under you."

"We are confident that, given time, the Embers will be able to demonstrate maximum combat efficiency in a wider variety of battlefield situations. But now, as you said, the war has been reignited, so we'd better focus on reality."

"A sharp edge, an indestructible sharp edge." Lan En pinched his temple with a headache, "I do have a way to solve this problem, but it's unfortunate, Stuart. It's really unfortunate."

"Are you going to save the world again?" Embers Knight teased with a cold face, not surprisingly, which seemed quite contrasting.

"It's not always that urgent." Lan En scratched his cheek a little embarrassedly, "But it's time for the gatekeeper to go to work. Being absent from work is very dangerous. It's dangerous for everyone."

"Next time. Next time when I come back, I will find a leader for you."

Stuart frowned questioningly: "Powerful front?"

"Not only is she powerful." Lan En nodded confidently, "She is simply invincible."
