"There is a rugged and winding mountain road on the outskirts of Kellmohan."

Belengar shook on horseback, explaining to Lan En, Flannel Ball, and Kirin, who had just arrived here.

After more than a month of travel, he has become accustomed to putting aside his exterior and treating kittens and unicorns as intelligent creatures.

"This mountain road is basically natural, and it has not been repaired artificially, and it has even been artificially added to the difficulty. We call it 'Killer Road', and it's for new young people to practice their physical fitness and reactions. Quite a few young men broke their necks on the road. ”

They had now reached the board bridge over the moat of the castle of Kelmohan.

Although the castle is in a dilapidated state, the former moat has been transformed into a creek with green grass and wildflowers due to lack of repair.

But after all, there is a height difference of about ten meters from the ground, and the people of the wolf school usually use this board bridge to enter and exit the castle.

"Then these are the people who broke their necks on the 'killer road'?"

Lan En sat on the back of the unicorn, and with his question, the unicorn, the flannel ball, himself, and the three guys stretched out their heads to the side at the same time, looking down curiously.

Beneath the moat, which has been turned into a stream, there are many human bones scattered beyond shape.

Even with Rann and Mentos' eyesight and calculations, the bones were so shattered that they couldn't tell how many people had been thrown here.

"These? These are not. Belengar also tilted his head under the slab bridge on his side, and when he saw the bones submerged in the grass and streams, he spoke as if he had just remembered.

"These are warnings."

"What warning meow?"

The flannel ball shifted shoulders around Lann and asked closer to Belengal.

The old witcher didn't have anything to say.

"Like most of the Witcher School, Kyrmohan was under mob siege, and almost all of his deaths in the castle were at the time."

"Were wizards involved?"

Lan En asked abruptly.

Unlike the people in the Bear School who have no feelings for their own school and castle at all, so they simply break up when they encounter trouble, the witchers of the Wolf School are united and have a sense of belonging.

And refer to the topography and structure of Kellmohan. It would be a bit of a joke to say that a mob could storm such a precipitous castle.

The Bear School's Hainkawich Castle, because the Bear School was dispersed on the spot, the main building structure was not damaged in the slightest during the mob's attack, but the contents inside were looted.

But Kyle Mohan's current ruined appearance should be a big war no matter how you look at it.

"You're not talking nonsense?" Belengar spat at the moat and cursed in a low voice.

"There are no warlocks, no engineering equipment, and ordinary people take their heads to break through the city walls?"

"Even the pre-propaganda that incited these mobs was based on the research of a witcher by an unknown warlock, and this slanderous study is still circulating in the market, the book 'Freaks, or Descriptions of Witchers.'"

Belengar said as they walked, and they had already seen the ruins of Kelmohan with their backs to a steep rock wall.

The remnants of the half-demolished trapezoidal walls, the outer fort and the gates, and the rough and sturdy main castle building.

As they walked across the bridge, the sound of horses' hooves changed from the 'thump' of trampling the thick planks to the thump of the stones.

An iron-clad grille door appeared in front of them, and behind the worn iron door was a pitch-black corridor.

These were castles for military use, a means of setting up to consume the enemy's forces in the face of an attack.

But there is no doubt that a military castle that does not have enough people to run is just a place where you can see at will.

"If I were you, I wouldn't be playing any 'suddenly behind the scenes' trick in front of us."

Lan En, who was riding a unicorn, didn't even look back, so he said loudly to himself.

"Geralt, none of you are here. The sound of your footsteps is light to the ears of ordinary people, but at this moment, it is not light enough. ”

Officially entered the front yard of Kellmohan Castle, which was much more spacious than the previous board bridge and corridors, allowing Lan En to control the Kirin to turn around.

The tall and graceful steed turned its head, and on the gatehouse of the city wall behind them, the [White Wolf] dressed in civilian clothes was inserting the sword back into the scabbard on his back.

Lan En looked up and greeted the witchers on the gatehouse of the city wall with a smile.

"Long time no see, white wolf."

"yes, long time no see."

Geralt's low, hoarse voice was still recognizable, and the corners of his mouth were slightly hooked at this time.

He rolled over and jumped down from the gatehouse, first on the roof of the stables below, and then to the ground.

Rann and Berengar also dismounted, and the young witcher stepped forward, and Geralt and Len opened their hands in unison, and the two hugged each other.

It's not pretentious, they patted their backs and separated.

That's enough for them.

"Ha, are you okay?"

Geralt smiled, a little worried, tentatively speaking.

He was an old man compared to Lanen, and before the battle was over, he felt that Lanen's spirit was a little wrong.

But now it seems that his fears were in vain.

Lan En smiled casually and sincerely, without the slightest disguise or twist. As soon as this smile came out, Geralt's worry disappeared most of it at once.

"I've had a good rest."

After greeting each other, Geralt turned to look at Belengar.

Although Geralt had already obtained Berengar's Witcher Steel and Silver Twin Sword, after getting out of the mud pit of war, he had heard a little about this new steel that was in the limelight.

But this was really the first meeting between the two wolf schools.

"Master Belengar?"

Geralt asked uncertainly, until the old witcher looked him up and down, and nodded.

"Thank you for your swords, they're amazing, I've never used a sword so light, strong, and sharp."

"It shows that you still have a bit of vision and luck."

The greeting between the two wolf schools was not as enthusiastic as the greeting with Lan En, a bear school.

However, Lane is not surprised, Geralt is a slow temper, and Belengal's feelings for his school are very complicated, such a situation is really expected, and it would be good to have more contact.

Geralt stepped forward to help, led the Popai to the stable, and began to unsaddle and everything else from his saddle to relax the horses.

He is a veteran, and there are nearly a hundred horses in his hands.

But when he wanted to give Lan En a hand, the witchers of the Bear School politely rejected him.
