Volume 2 Chapter 184 The Unspeakable Secret
It's another day, and Thor wakes up from his sleep.
According to the plan I made yesterday, I must hide out early today and do my own thing. Thor was determined as he began to get dressed quickly.
However, the world is unpredictable.
When Thor packed everything and was about to go out to wash up quietly, there was a sudden knock on the door of the room.
Hearing the knock on the door, Saul instantly felt his scalp tingle, and suddenly there was a sense of tension that there was nowhere to escape, and he didn't know what kind of nightmare he was going to be entangled in today.
Turning his head to look at the window on the wall of the utility room, Thor sighed, finally gave up his intention to escape through the window, and stepped forward and opened the door.
Unexpectedly, it was Brett who knocked on the door, not Lucia as Saul thought he was. To be sure, Lucia was there, but she just stood by and watched silently, dressed in leather armor as if she was going to go far away.
"Hah, so you already know, are you ready?" said Brett smiled and patted Thor on the shoulder affectionately.
What do I know? What are I going to prepare? Thor was stunned.
"Oh, today we were going out hunting, I thought Lucia had informed you last night, and you were suffocated by not going out for the past two days, right?" Seeing Thor's inexplicable expression, Brett explained, and then turned to look at his daughter.
"Yesterday I saw that he seemed to be resting, so I did not disturb him, and prepared to call him this morning. Lucia shrugged.
"Ha, I'm just used to waking up early. Thor explained with some embarrassment,
The so-called hunting is actually an adventure, and this adventure is not very easy to refuse, after all, you have lived in someone else's house for two days, and as soon as someone invites you to take an adventure, you will say that I am leaving, you can play by yourself, that is obviously unreasonable.
After washing up and getting ready, and walking in the wilderness with the adventuring party, Thor suddenly realized that it seemed that he couldn't run away today. Why should everyone stop themselves from saving the world?, Saul thought sadly.
The adventuring party and Thor were six people, including Bretluthia's father and daughter, Lucia's uncle Luke, and two young people from the village. Among them, Thor and Brett are two second-order, and the others are all first-order.
Everyone in the team on the road talked silently, Thor followed in a muffled voice, and Lucia, who was walking in front, did not have too much curiosity and nervousness on her face, obviously it was not the first time she had participated in such an adventure.
Looking at her neat leather armor, Thor remembered that he had also thought about getting a set of metal armor to wear, but then he forgot for some reason.
If you think about it carefully, there are actually many such things, like once saying that she would take Erin to the beach to see, but she didn't succeed until she finally left.
Is it because you are good at forgetting, or is it because you don't live carefully enough? Or maybe life is like this, too many things you want to do but you don't do it, too many places you want to go but never go again.
Thor silently lowered his head, lost in the past.
"Is he really okay with the way he looks?" Luke walked between the Brett father and daughter and shook his chin behind him.
Lucia subconsciously turned around and saw Thor walking behind in a daze. He was still dressed in the same ordinary civilian clothes, except for his sword, and his whole body had no protection, and he looked like an armed villager.
The people in the team more or less have their own protective equipment, but Thor's strength is already one level higher than them, and in terms of experience, Thor is also said to be a veteran adventurer.
Although everyone was a little confused, it was hard to say anything, what if it was someone else's style?
This adventure is to a nameless grove, and there is not much danger in the whole process, and it really seems to be an easy hunt in the end.
The team had a good harvest, two wild wolves, a wild boar, and a semi-adult black bear that jumped out halfway.
A big guy like a bear may be a formidable enemy for the average hunter, but for professionals who roam the wilderness all year round, it's just like that. Bulky, slow, slow start, and good for nothing but strength.
In Thor's wilderness career, he has faced many more dangerous and strange enemies, and as for ordinary beasts, they have all been expelled from the ranks of strong enemies.
The bear was killed by Thor alone, and with his own dexterity, Thor stabbed it in the ass with his sword, and stabbed it several times.
Originally, Thor didn't want to choose such an obscene strike position, but Brett repeatedly emphasized that he would explain, and in the end Thor could only do it speechlessly, mourning for poor Brother Bear. Death alone is not enough, it must also require a humiliating death.
It is said that keeping the whole bear skin will be very valuable, and it is better not to hurt the bear's eyes and head, because some people in Crow Town like to make the head of a beast into a specimen and hang it in the room to show their bravery, and a full bear head is very valuable.
The team had to hurry back after only half the morning, because the harvest was no longer on its back. Brett and Luke were in charge of the bear, the young men of the two villages were in charge of the boar, and Thor and Lucia were alone in carrying a wolf.
Originally, Thor was going to take all his prey back with him in the ring so that everyone could hunt more, but he didn't. It's better to accept this kind of thing when you see it, and if you go deeper, you will encounter any dangerous variables.
When the prey was brought back to the village, the villagers gathered around with cheers. After all, for a small village of more than ten households, the hunting team led by Brett can be roughly said to be the village's own hunting team.
In the matter of the distribution of the spoils, although the villagers could not take the lion's share, they could still get a full pot of meat, and this kind of distribution was enough to make everyone smile happily.
Even the villagers' worship and respect for Thor has also risen to a new level, after all, the village's hunting team has a second-order combat power to join, whether it is from the perspective of hunting harvest or the safety and defense of the village, it will be beneficial in the long run.
And it is said that the young man is entangled with Brett and Luke's two daughters, and that he may soon be able to achieve something good, which means that the whole village will have one more 'man of its own'.
Am I the kind of person who gets entangled with the little shiitake mushrooms?, Thor listened to the villagers' comments with a black line, and then maliciously handed a piece of wild boar's butt to the smiling villager in front of him.
At the dinner table, how Thor calmly faced the giant bear, how he repeatedly tortured the enemy's buttocks, and was bragged about by Brett on the table, which invisibly helped Thor improve his image in the hearts of the two little mushrooms.
Thor could only look very modest and waved his hands helplessly at the table.
So, every day is wasted, perfunctory, and living, and before I know it, more than half a month has passed.
In the past half a month, Thor has been preparing to leave but has not left, and he has still not done what he has always wanted to do, but unconsciously, he seems to have gotten used to it.
Accustomed to the Brett's table, accustomed to fighting wits with the little shiitake mushrooms, and used to little Wilson's philosophical nonsense. Or rather, you are accustomed to the acceptance of Brett's house, and the atmosphere of your home where there are people waiting for you whenever you go back.
This was what he had longed for in his life as an orphan in the convent, but he never got it, and who knew that he no longer thought about it now, but he had it unconsciously.
This time Thor seemed to be really a little confused, whether to leave this warm and nostalgic atmosphere and go back to the wilderness alone in the kind of unhuman and ghostly days, he thought for a few days and had no answer.
Another night came, and after dinner, Thor had just returned to his room when he quickly opened the door and rushed out.
Sneakily going around the back of Brett's house, Thor sneaked into the sheep barn, then dragged a sheep raised by Lady Lena into a dark corner, and ended the lamb's life with neat hands and feet.
Thor then bowed his head, took a sip of sheep's blood, and then looked up and sighed.
For more than half a month, every night after nightfall, all kinds of negative desires will still take turns.
Every time the thirst for blood struck, Thor would reach into the sheep barn and slaughter a sheep, then throw a dozen silver wolves on the haystack in the sheep barn, which was already the third sheep he had killed.
In fact, if you let go of drinking blood, a whole sheep may not be enough, but Thor has a better way to make the transition. Take a few sips first, then support yourself for a while, and then take a few sips when you can't help it.
Every time he sat in the sheep barn with blood-red eyes, Thor would think back to the crazy days before, those days of killing people everywhere and drinking blood, it seemed that after living in Bret's house for more than half a month, those days gradually began to become a little distant.
As for a sheep, it was not a trivial matter for Brett's family, but the more than ten silver coins that Thor left behind each time were more than enough in terms of price, and the dead sheep could still eat meat except for little blood.
Occasionally, the matter of the dead sheep would be mentioned at the dinner table, but because it did not cause huge losses, but there were profits, so everyone only occasionally guessed about the strangeness of the matter itself, but no one ever doubted Thor.
Today was the same, as soon as he returned to his room after dinner, Thor felt a curse coming, and had to go straight to the sheep barn.
Holding the dead lamb in his arms, Thor sat silently in the darkness, waiting for the curse to pass.
Suddenly, he faintly felt a peeping gaze, which seemed to come from outside the crack in the wooden wall of the sheep house.
Thor quietly got up, silently touched the voyeur's back, and then dragged her into the sheep barn with one hand over her mouth and the other around her waist. At this moment, Thor's mood was a little heavy, and it seemed that his peaceful days were finally coming to an end.
It's good to save yourself from being entangled repeatedly but never making up your mind.
After entering the sheep house, Thor was thinking about how to explain, or whether he needed to explain, when he suddenly felt that something was wrong with Lucia in his arms, and the whole person looked weak and weak, which startled Thor for a moment.
"What's wrong with you?" Thor subconsciously asked, did he do too much, but he didn't seem to do anything?
"Again...... Hold on tight!" Lucia leaned back her little head and leaned on Thor's shoulder.
