Chapter 234 Bear's Ring
After contracting Bill as a minion, Lann already knew Bill's talent.
[Natural Affinity], the effect description seems to be a spell talent. It is hard to say whether its strength reaches the level of the magic source, but at least it brings extraordinary spiritual resistance to Bill.
The transformation of the Berserkers of the Swabro sect, herbs and hallucinating mushrooms that influence the mind are quite important.
In the records of the Skelligers, the trial of the Berserkers of the Swabro believers is as follows:
[His believers would drink psychedelic juice in advance, then go deep into the ground and reach the cave in the center of the Great Skellig Island. Once they arrive, the bears in the cave will swallow them alive. Then, these believers occupy and control the bodies of wild beasts like parasites. When they wake up, they will become monsters that are neither human nor bears.]
Some details are also ignored, such as the Verka people will fight with the giant bear - although the final result will be swallowed by the giant bear. However, the fight also has an impact on the subsequent Berserker conversion. After all, this thing has a success rate like the witch hunter trial, and maybe it will be even lower.
The spiritual resistance brought by Bill's talent was obviously of great help to this transformation from the giant bear consciousness and occupying the giant bear's body. Therefore, he successfully became a berserker and woke up in advance, and then escaped back to his own village before the Verka people "recycled" him.
At the same time, this mental resistance is probably Bill's confidence to resist the mermaid's singing, so that he will not be confused like other sailors, or even jump into the sea and drown. Otherwise, Bill may become a mermaid or siren's food, rather than a lover.
Of course, it is not ruled out that the mermaid named "Shivana" is a kind face control, and is attracted by another talent of Bill.
Unfortunately, no matter the truth, the mermaid named Shivana is now dead.
...
"After I returned to the village, the villagers rushed out immediately and could only run to the cave that Shivana once mentioned to me. Because Shivana told me: If I have nowhere to go, go there to find her."
"And Shivana is really waiting for me inside, she is singing while smiling and welcoming me back."
"But there are still siren living there. They don't like me, they don't like me, they don't like me since Shivana was with me, so they screamed and rushed towards me."
"They should just want to teach me a little lesson... They would have done this before, causing me to get hurt and shed a little blood because they don't like me... And Shivana would scold them and then gently use magic to heal me..."
"But this time it's different... This time I'm not clear. When I saw blood flowing out of my body and smelling the fishy smell in my mouth, I became a bear and no longer under control..."
"I tear apart the Siren who attacked me first, then Shivana who wanted to stop me... and then the Siren, until they fear me and stop attacking me."
Bill wailed in pain: "And after I got back to my human form, I forgot all of this... those herbs and mushrooms kept affecting me until it was over..."
"I thought it was Shivana who was angry, so I hid from me... I thought the number of sirens decreased because of the villagers' hunting, to protect Shivana and me..."
"It turns out that it's all because of me..."
...
The witch hunters who had finished the battle surrounded them.
They were so happy in the battle just now, but at this moment they were filled with mixed feelings because of what the young man told.
They have seen many tragedies like this: blood tragedy and lovers kill each other; whether intentional or unintentional.
But no matter how many times they have seen it, it does not prevent their hearts from beating, and they will give their sympathy for it.
Even if they have no expression on their faces at this moment.
Lann sighed. If he was in normal times, he would not mind giving his new servant some time to adjust his mentality. But the Skelliger, who had just ended the war, was at the moment when he was in high spirits and angry, and he really didn't have the mood to wait for Bill to vent his emotions.
Fortunately, after the collapse, Bill did not let things move in the most troublesome direction.
He wailed, hugged his head, and looked at the corpses of the Verka people. The self-blame in his eyes quickly turned into unforgettable hatred.
"It was them, they turned me into a bear's appearance... If it weren't for them, Shivana wouldn't have died!"
Bill turned to Lann and bowed: "Sir, my memory has been restored...it is even clearer than usual. Please let me take you to the gathering of the Swabrou Sect, and let me help you erase these dirty filth from Skellig Island!"
Lane raised an eyebrow, and the change in thinking was quite good.
But when he looked at the vigorous flame in Bill's eyes, he always felt that this young man might develop into an extreme situation of "killing the enemy and then committing suicide" in the future.
However, even if the young man was thinking about this kind of thing at the moment, Lane would not let him take action in the future. This is not a problem for Lane now.
"Then, now, take us to the Swabro Sect and the Verka people according to the memory in your mind." Lane said seriously, in a tone of entrusting with important tasks, "We now have an unresolvable hatred between us and them."
——
After being contracted to become a minion, Bill's brain became many times clearer, and he didn't even need the help of the witch hunters such as Geralt. He looked between the mountains and rocks for a few times and found his previous escape path.
Soon, a cave that looked like a giant's deep mouth appeared in front of everyone.
The entrance to this cave is quite steep, and there is only a narrow rock trail connected to the normal mountain road that is barely enough for one person to pass through, and there is no vegetation around it.
The most important thing is that experienced mountain people can definitely make judgments from the traces at the entrance of this cave - there are bears inside.
This makes ordinary people even more reluctant to get close to this cave.
But for Lann and others, it means: they have found the right place.
East frowned and looked at the narrow rock road. The troops of thousands of people tried to pass this level of terrain and were seeking death. The Verka people only needed a dozen people to guard the entrance of the cave.
"According to the surrounding traces, this is the base camp of the Swabro Sect." Easter pondered, "This terrain is an advantage for them with a small number of people, but it is fatal to us who are encircled by the army. Perhaps we still need to scatter people and try to find other entrances."
Having said that, everyone knew that such hope was slim. The Swabro Sect could choose this place to be a hiding place for decades, and must have considered the possibility of being discovered in advance. There might be a path to escape, but that would definitely not be a spacious terrain that would allow the army to pass through.
Lann looked at it for a while and suggested, "Why let me go in and try to detect it first? You know my ability. If the Verka people are ambushing inside, I can run out at any time."
"At the same time, the army can try to find the surrounding paths and work on two-pronged approaches."
East nodded reluctantly when he thought of the two skills [Teleport] and [Flash] that Lann had already shown long ago.
Now Lane is no longer able to be viewed as a regular combat unit. East even held back his idea of asking Lane to take a few guards with him, because he already knew that it would be impossible to let the guards act with Lane and instead drag down.
But he still habitually reminded: "Be careful."
Lan En nodded with a smile, turned around and estimated the distance between herself and the cave. Then her body emitted an emerald light and disappeared from the spot.
Then a golden light flashed at the entrance of the cave, and then disappeared in the darkness.
Let the witch hunters pay attention to the movements at the entrance of the cave at all times. East shook his head and turned his head, preparing to arrange people to find another exit.
However, before the reconnaissance troops set off, the emerald light lit up next to him again.
Lann showed his figure from it with a strange look on his face.
East asked hurriedly, "What's wrong? Are you in danger?"
Kratz followed, "What is the terrain inside? How many enemies are there? Have they discovered you?"
Faced with the two of them, Lane sighed: "No danger..."
"No even enemies."
"But I do need a little support, there are a few injured people in it, and some things that may need to be brought out."
...
Although Lann has already stated that there are no enemies inside, for security purposes, East and Kratz still brought their respective guards, and Juta Ann Dimen was unwilling to go with the soldiers who followed the Dimen family.
The witch hunters and Bill naturally cannot be absent.
Entering from the entrance of the cave, what comes to us is a fishy and stinky smell. Unlike the giant bear after the transformation of the Verka Berserker, this stinky smell is the smell that a real bear will have.
The entire cave was dark and wet, with moss and some unknown spike vines growing on the rock walls, and broken bones everywhere on the ground.
There is a terrifying statue of the god in the center of the cave, with blood pouring on it.
Around the statue were three naked young men, all over the body, with horrifying wounds on them, and they had been briefly bandaged.
Lane pointed to the three young men: "That's why I want to support me."
East hurriedly commanded several soldiers with medical experience to come forward, and at the same time he himself came forward to check the situation of these young people, and then showed an incredible expression.
"They are...druid apprentices, I've seen them at the Ring of Druids." Easter couldn't believe what he saw.
What he said also surprised everyone present.
Kratz looked at the blood dripping on the statue and the three druid apprentices who were obviously used to provide blood: "The Swabro Sect uses druids to perform blood sacrifices? They are so brave!"
The druid's status in the Skellig Islands is not low, and the status of the Warlock Brotherhood in the hearts of the mainland kings during its heyday is not as good as that of the druid's position in the hearts of the Skellig patriarchs. Because the druid is knowledgeable and truly does not greedy for politics, no matter how crazy and stupid the patriarch is, he will show full respect when dealing with the druid.
Unexpectedly, the Swabro Sect actually captured the druids as a sacrifice for the blood sacrifice.
After scolding the Swabro Sect, Kratz hurried forward to check out these druid apprentices together.
Fortunately, they found that they were still breathing.
"We will send them back to the Druid Ring as soon as possible for healing." Kratz said firmly.
While the soldiers were simply treating the injuries of these druid apprentices, Lane was explaining to everyone the results of his just-in-reconstruction.
...
"This cave seems to be divided into two layers. We are now on the second layer. Obviously, after finding a natural cave, the Verka people also used human power and even magical people to repair these places." Lane introduced his just-reconcilable results to the people. "The Verka people should all live on the first layer, and this layer is where they train berserkers."
"Or…" Lann pointed to several places in this huge cave, "the place where they 'produced' the Berserkers."
On the edge of the huge cave, several artificial caves for living were carved out. However, there was no one in these caves for living, but bears.
Or, bear.
Several round-headed and round-headed black balls were squeezed inside, cut from the outside by solid and spiked vines, and looked at the witch hunters outside curiously.
"The cub of the Skellig Bear? No..." Kratz screamed in surprise, "The Velka people are breeding giant bears to create berserks in batches? No wonder they can pull out so many berserks in one breath. I almost thought they had captured all the giant bears in the archipelago, but I didn't expect that it would be like this..."
