Chapter 81: The Divine Wolf
Toruda explained: "The merchant just now, who has been a long-time partner, heard that we had been killed here, so he raised the purchase price a littleγγγγγγ Oops, thank you so much to him... β
Ellie said, "I see... β
Randy said, "Tradersγγγγγ No wonder it looks dignified... β
"yes... And given Crosbel's current condition, such a loss is nothing at allγγγγγγγ Toruda said.
"Alas... Lloyd said.
"What the hell is this... Ellie said.
"Oh, I said something superfluous... Sorry, sorry, forgot about it... Toruda said.
"Hey, hey... The more you say that, village chief, the more we careγγγγγ Randy said.
"It's just, it's too mysteriousγγγγγ Tio said.
"Haha... Sorry, maybe it's just my old man's nonsense... Would you like to hear it tooγγγγγ Toruda said.
"Yes... Be sure to let us know... Whatever it is, maybe find something useful. Lloyd said.
"Hmmm... Then I'll just say it. Toruda said, "Have you ever heard of the word wolfγγγγγγ β
Lloyd said, "The wolf ... οΌβ
Ellie said, "The wolf of the gods... οΌβ
Theo: "I've never seen that word in the databaseγγγγγ β
Toruda said, 'Well... Really.... It seems that no one in the city has mentioned this legendγγγγγ I can't help but sigh. β
"Then what is this divine wolfγγγγγ Lloyd said.
"They are the beasts that lived in the land of Crossbell in ancient times," Toruda saidγγγγγγ Legend has it that they look like wolves... Covered in snow-white furγγγγγγγ β
"So ... It has the same characteristics as this Warcraft... Theo said.
"Although there is no evidence ... But even that isn't surprisingγγγγγ Toruda said.
"According to an old legend ... The Divine Wolf is not an ordinary Warcraft... It's a holy beast sent by a womanγγγγγ β
"In ancient times, in the land of Crossbell, which was stained with bloodγγγγγ They guard the ignorant human beings... Sometimes it also comes to help those who are helpless on a whimγγγγγ They are such beings ... β
"I see, it sounds like it's amazing... Ellie said.
"Speaking of which, I feel like I've read a fairy tale about a white wolf... I remember that the book was in the libraryγγγγγ Lloyd said.
"Hmmm... The fairy tale is probably based on this legendγγγγγ But these decades ... Crossbell has changedγγγγγ Toruda said.
"It's grown into a trading city... Then I gradually forgot those memories of the pastγγγγγγ And then I don't know when it started... The wolves were goneγγγγγγ β
Toruda said.
Randy: "Uh-huh... In short, they have lost hope in humanity ... οΌβ
"Hmmm... I think so, but after all, it is a wolf in the gap between the timesγγγγγ Toruda said.
"If they're going to come back ... Is it to sound the alarm for mankindγγγγγ β
"Whyγγγγγ Lloyd said.
"What to say ... I always feel that the current development of the city of Crosbell is too impatientγγγγγγ Once in a while, if you take a bus to the city, you will be amazed at how quickly it changesγγγγγγγγ Toruda said.
"Whoever it is ... They are all being chased by the present, and they don't have the heart to look back at the pastγγγγγγ That's what I'm looking atγγγγγγγ β
Ellie said, "We have nothing to sayγγγγγγ β
"Oh, don't get me wrong... I'm not preaching... Toruda said.
"Just thinking about it... I thought that the killing of the village was like a warning from themγγγγγ I guess that's how it can be explainedγγγγγγ β
"Oh, you seem to be taking what I say seriouslyγγγγγ It's just old man's nonsense... You don't have to think too muchγγγγγγ β
Lloyd said, "There is no such thing... These are very informativeγγγγγ I feel like I can consider this Warcraft messing up from another teachingγγγγγ β
Toruda said, "... Ah, that's good ... You guys come to investigate, is there anything else I can help with... οΌβ
Lloyd said, "By the way... Can we also ask the other villagersγγγγγγ β
"Hmmm... If it's you, it's not a big deal, is itγγγγγ It's noon now... It's time for all the people who went out to do farm work to come backγγγγγγ Toruda said.
After that, several people left the village chief's house.
Randy said, 'Wolvesγγγγγ Suddenly brought up a very interesting topicγγγγγ β
"yes... Lloyd said, "Although it is not yet possible to tell whether the wolf really existsγγγγγγ But it's better to think about it as a suspect firstγγγγγ β
"It really seems like that... Several people have left footprints... So the wolf-type monster has indeed been hereγγγγγ And then I don't know where I went... Disappeared without a trace ... β
Ellie said.
"It's strange," said Theo. . . There are footprints in the village of several people... That should be able to search along those footprintsγγγγγγ β
Lloyd said, 'Indeed, it should workγγγγγ In other words, they have avoided the tracking and investigation of the garrisonγγγγγγ β
Randy said, "Once they're in the dangerous beast path... Humanity is helplessγγγγγ Don't think about it anymore... οΌβ
"That's rightγγγγγγ Then let's start inquiring about the news... It happened to be noon... By the way, I decided to settle lunchγγγγγ Lloyd said.
Ellie: "Hehe... It's also ... I ran for most of the day and was hungry. β
Tio said, 'Me tooγγγγγ β
"Then we'll inquire about the news ... Let's walk towards the tavernγγγγγγ Randy said.
Then I got the information.
Villager A said, "The village chief seems to have been talking about a wolf or somethingγγγγγ Though he is my father ... But the thinking is too old-fashioned and nerve-wrackingγγγγγγγ β
"I really hope he can do something for the development of the villageγγγγγ β
Villager B: "Hmm... I fell asleep and didn't know at all. β
Villager C: "Go and ask someone... Wolf-type demonic beasts, the world in my home has also suffered a little loss... β
Villager D: "No one has seen them, so they must be very clever monstersγγγγγ β
After that, I came to the tavern.
There was a man sitting at the front desk of the tavern... "Hmm. Delicious, Gao Fan's omelet rice is really the best in the worldγγγγγγ β
The tavern owner said, "Haha, you can say that, I didn't do it in vain... β
Lloyd said, "I'm sorry... Excuse me.... β
"Oops, what's wrong... The boss said.
"We are the police of the city of Crossbell... Can I ask you about the wolf-type monsters that attacked beforeγγγγγγ β
At this time, the guest sitting at the front desk eating omelet rice said, "It was the same thing three weeks ago... Well, if that's what you say... β
"Because every family has to get up early in the morning to workγγγγγ So everyone happened to be sleeping on the night of the incidentγγγγγγγ
It seems that the monster has chosen the right time to reappearγγγγγγ In short, I can only say that luck is not good. β
The boss said, "I'm going to say the same thing as himγγγγγ The people who came to stay here that day also said that they didn't see anythingγγγγγγ β
Ellie: "That's right... β
Randy said, "There doesn't seem to be any conclusive evidence... β
Lloyd said, "Don't be discouraged... The hall information must be persistent. will finally get the resultγγγγγγ β
Theo: "Anyway... Let's take a break... I'm almost hungry... β
"Haven't you had lunch yet... Just so I'm going to invite you to eat our signature dish, omelet rice... β
The boss said.
"Ahh How can this make you treat too muchγγγγγ Lloyd said.
"Okay... Just make a friend... In exchange, the next time you come to the village, be sure to come back for dinnerγγγγγγγ The boss said.
Randy: "Haha... It's so generous. β
Ellie: "Lloyd... That's all for that.γγγγ Let's not say noγγγγγγ β
Theo: "Agreed. β
"Hmmm... All right... Then I would like to ask you... β
The four of them sat down towards their positions, and soon the omelet rice came... Enjoy the simple taste unique to the countrysideγγγγγ
The exhaustion of Lloyd's party was fully recoveredγγγγγγ
After eating, I met the merchant.
Ellie said, "Remember you're a trader in Crossbellγγγγγ β
"Haha... You heard about it from the village chiefγγγγγγ β
The merchant said.
"I'm Harold, in the city of Crossber, doing small businessγγγγγγ Could it be that you are also here to procure... β
"No... Not us ... Lloyd and his entourage introduced themselves and explained why they had come to Almoricaγγγγγγ
"Police... But the Special Service Support Section,I seem to have heard of it somewhere.γγγγ Oh yes, Time Magazine... β
Harold said.
"Hah... You've read Time Magazine... β
Lloyd said.
Ellie said, "It's a little embarrassingγγγγγ β
"Haha... Don't be so embarrassed, it's just been established, but you're working hard, aren't youγγγγγ "Harold said.
"The story did use some sarcasm in its presentationγγγγγ But I think it's positive for your effortsγγγγγγγ β
"Is it... Lloyd said.
"It's not that the role of good intentions can't be explained in this wayγγγγγ Tio said.
Randy: "Haha... But we all know the journalistγγγγγγ So I can't believe itγγγγγ β
"Yes... Did you say the wolf-type monster you were looking forγγγγγ I also heard about it at a medical university... I'm a little worriedγγγγγγ β
Harold said.
"Does Mr. Harold have business dealings with the medical universityγγγγγ β
"Hmmm... I usually sell some necessary supplies to the hospitalγγγγγ Rumor has it that someone was injured thereγγγγγ Harold said.
"There were people injured in Mine Townγγγγγ β
Lloyd said, "Well... Now the guards seem to be searching... β
"That's rightγγγγγ I have to go to Mine Town these daysγγγγγ β
Harold said.
Ellie said, "I heard that you bought the specialty here at a very good priceγγγγγγ β
"Haha... It's the village chief who said it... Actually, it's nothing... The village's specialties, including honey, have been gaining popularity latelyγγγγγγ Harold smiled.
"I also want to take this opportunity ... Make a good impression on the villagersγγγγγ β
Randy said, "Haha, I see... β
Tio said: "Goodwill comes first... That's it... β
Ellie: "Hehe... Looks like you've made a good deal... β
"Why, I'm nowhere near enough, I'm just a noviceγγγγγ Harold said.
"But I'm sorry... If only I could know more useful informationγγγγγ β
Lloyd said, "No... There is no such thing ... Please don't worry ... I'm sorry to bother youγγγγγ β
"No, no... Please try to find out the news... Harold said.
Afterwards.... Continue to ask the villagers...
Villager E: "Wolf-type monsters... That was probably three weeks ago... I'm really sorry.,I'm not impressed.γγγ β
Villager F: "I heard the village chief say that the prisoner is called a wolf... It's disgusting. β
Villager G: "Hmm... Did Mr. Wolf really do such a bad thing? . . . I don't quite remember... β
At this time, I met a teenager who was fishingγγγγγ
"The weather is so niceγγγγγ Ah, hello, are you also here to fish? . . . He asked.
Lloyd said, "Ah... No, we are the police of Crossbell... We're here to ask about the Warcraft rebellion about three weeks agoγγγγγ β
"You don't seem to be a villager in Almorica... Do you have any clue... β
"Ah, that thing... I'm chasing the head of the python... Didn't come to the village. I just heard about it afterwards... The boy said.
