Astartes of the Bear School

Chapter 1385 1357. Source of Demon

Reigns is a small character.

When Geralt had just revealed to Lan En a trivial clue about what he had been worrying about recently.

It only took the young demon hunter less than two minutes to see through things that the white wolf of Rivia had never been able to see clearly.

A mage who was like a mad dog and crossed the borders of three countries. He ignored all traces related to Geralt and Ciri along the way, bribing, blackmailing, tortured and silencing the mage.

To ordinary people, it sounds simply appalling.

He is enough to be a villain in a knight novel.

However, this kind of character is really just a small role.

As Lan said, neither Redania nor Temeria's intelligence services are free of charge.

He had no contact with Kaedwen's intelligence department, so he couldn't jump to conclusions.

But it was abnormal enough for Riens to make it from Redania to Temeria alive.

The intelligence agencies of the two northern powers could also find all the traces that Riens could find, and even the process of finding them was traceless. They were far different from laymen like Riens who did fine work but had rough methods.

They can easily know before Reigns himself where he will investigate next and who he will look for.

As long as these intelligence agencies want to kill Riens, it will be as Lan En said.

Sit down on the path he must pass, hold a crossbow or longbow, and shoot him as soon as he shows up.

In a specific encounter, a few people from the intelligence department might die, or not, but it wouldn't do any harm.

If it doesn't work once, then twice. The suppression of intelligence allows them to play with Riens like a dog.

This mage who appeared out of nowhere is going to die eventually.

But, he didn't die.

Not only is he not dead, he is even continuing to investigate with a swagger and no scruples.

-That means someone doesn't want him to die. I want to see who else can be 'revealed' by the splash of water as he continues to jump around.

"Huh~ Thanks, Lan En."

Geralt's shoulders slumped, and he shrank into his chair, as if he had no bones.

"I was almost driven to the edge by that mad dog before. Just like Berengar said, I have to find him and kill him. But when you say this, tsk."

Geralt made a shuddering sound, apparently calming down and thankful that he was no longer impulsive.

Berengar, who had just slapped the wine glass on the table, now picked up the wine glass again angrily.

"It's too complicated." The old demon hunter sighed, looking at the two demon hunters across from him who were both younger than him. "Once you take it apart, it feels like the layers of meringue on a dessert, one layer inside another."

"This is just a step further to think about." Lan En said calmly.

"If we continue to think deeper: What are the thoughts of the person behind Riens who sent him out?"

"He sent this mad dog out to investigate, and he knew what this mad dog was going to do, but he sent him out anyway."

"Does this mean that he is not worried about whether Riens will be killed by the intelligence agencies of these countries along the way?"

"He knows the operating style of these intelligence agencies, and he also knows that these intelligence leaders will not kill Riens easily in order to dig him out."

With two "bang bang" sounds, Lan En's fingers tapped the table casually, with a sneer on his face.

"Oh, looking at a mad dog that is extremely vicious, it is actually just because people behind both sides are betting on it, so they ignore it and let it bark and bite as it pleases."

"The intelligence chief bets that he can dig out the person behind Riens."

"The people behind Riens are betting on the greed and long-term thinking of the intelligence chiefs. Instead, they can give themselves ample time to achieve their goals and leave without leaving any traces."

Berengar held the wine glass and took a gloomy sip: "This is getting more and more complicated."

The old demon hunter was so angry just now that he wanted to kill people directly with his long sword, or the reckless impulse was gone.

In complex situations, mindless violence cannot solve the problem.

Seeing that Berengar was still digesting the information and his mind was empty, Lan En was not surprised.

Real society is far more complex than imagined, so the mutual involvement in major issues is also more complex than imagined.

In fact, he hadn't finished speaking just now.

The man behind Reigns, at the end of his plan, had two possibilities.

One is what Lan En said openly just now. He is sure that after finishing everything, he will leave without leaving any trace.

And the other kind...it doesn't matter even if it leaves traces. As long as things are done well, he doesn't care whether his identity is exposed or not, or in other words, he doesn't care at all.

He is looking for Ciri, so why?

Why did the person behind Riens not care about the intelligence organizations of Temeria and Redania, the two major intelligence powers, as long as they found Ciri?

Why should he?

Thinking of this, Lan En actually had some vague guesses in his mind. "Talking back to you, White Wolf." Lan En turned to ask Geralt without saying what he was thinking. "That mad dog bites hard, but why did you stay in Gos Velen for several days?"

Now Geralt is confused when he cares. The master witcher who used to be able to calmly handle all kinds of curses and strange tasks is now like a dangerous and stressed wolf because his adopted daughter is being pressed every step of the way.

Telling him uncertain news is just irritating his already tense nerves.

If this nerve breaks when the pressure suddenly increases, then Geralt may do bad things because of his emotional outburst.

"There is a conference going on on Xenide Island, and many warlocks will come."

Geralt was also made to feel heavy by the complicated situation analysis explained by Lan before. He took a sip of wine before speaking.

"With Yennefer's status and strength, she must be on the list of participants."

"If she comes to the meeting, she will never trust Ciri to stay alone in the Meliteli Temple in Elland."

Lan En frowned: "Isn't there Aunt Nannik taking care of Ciri? How can you be alone in Meritelli's temple?"

"Yennefer has always been more willing to believe in her own abilities than to believe in the promises of others." Geralt shook his head helplessly. "So, rather than placing Ciri in the safety of the Meriteli Temple, she prefers to keep it with her."

"Confident to the point of arrogance." Berengar commented bitterly, "At the same time, she is also suspicious and has difficulty trusting others. This is a common character trait of sorceresses."

Lan En scratched his chin beside him: "I don't feel anything."

"You are different, let's talk about it separately." Berengar was no different from before, leaning on the back of the chair, waving his hands, and said again.

Geralt shook his head. He also knew that Yennefer's strong character was not liked by his friends.

But there is no way. He loves her and she loves him.

So leave it at that.

After so many years of separation and separation, we never really separated.

"And." Geralt continued while remembering Yennefer's unique perfume of lilac and gooseberry, her plump skin, and her thick, charming black hair.

"Yennefer told me that it's time for Ciri to learn to be a sorceress."

Geralt picked up the wine bottle Berengar put on the table and added more to his glass.

"Ciri is the source of demons, or the descendant of ancient blood inherited from Laura Doren. As long as it is explicit, it is the source of demons."

"Now is the time for her to learn magic. Otherwise, if she delays it any longer, her talent may start to harm her."

[Magic Source] is a uniquely talented group of people who can become warlocks and use magic.

Ordinary warlocks often begin their journey of magic by sensing the existence of chaotic magic and being able to interfere with that magic to a limited extent.

This is what a ‘gifted person’ is.

If you undergo systematic training and education, your body can have the power to absorb and transform the chaotic magic of the outside world, and you can become a warlock.

The [Magic Source] goes a step further and is a group of people with extraordinary talents among the warlocks.

A normal warlock needs to absorb the chaotic magic from the external environment, use his body to transform it, and then use it under control before magic can appear.

But [Magic Source], the magic power that can be used directly by them without transformation, will naturally flow out of their bodies.

In other words: The body of [Demon Source] is more like a hole through which the chaotic magic power can flow out.

Their bodies can spontaneously produce magic power, which sounds very similar to the slight magic power produced by the mutated flesh in the bodies of demon hunters.

But it's not a concept at all in terms of quality.

The [Magic Source] warlocks in history, as long as their life experiences have been educated and trained by mages, basically none of them are unknown.

In fact, the innate characteristics of [Magic Source] are reminiscent of those ancient, first batch of spell users who emerged when humans landed in the north.

Geoffrey Monk captured a dozen Dijins. These Dijins are intelligent beings born from the interface of the four elements. They are naturally able to control the chaotic magic of the world without any hindrance.

Geoffrey Monk even achieved a certain sense of "endless mana" by using the Djinn he captured as a spell-casting medium.

The concept of [Magic Source] is indeed somewhat similar to elemental interface creatures such as Dijing and Fire Giant.

But on the other hand, this resemblance is similar to the similarity between [Magic Source] and the Demon Hunter. It is not a concept at all in terms of quality.

[Magic Source] The chaotic magic power controlled by them can naturally emerge from the body.

However, elemental beings such as Dijing and Fire Giant do not need to 'emerge magic power from the body' at all. They can absorb and control all the chaotic magic power in the world without any obstacles.

This is the source of ‘endless mana’.

[Magic Source] is like a 'small drain' of chaotic magic compared to it.
