Chapter 164: Tragedy
After entering Tasatqiputa, the weather around is getting colder and colder, and in the morning and evening, you need to put on a light cloak to protect yourself from the cold.
When the group arrived at the hotel in the center of Tasatqiputa, it was already late at night, and the lights were already turned off in the surrounding houses, and the carriage and horses were handed over to the people in the store to take care of, and the group entered the hotel.
Sitting on the edge of the bed, Roy looked out the window, where Nagia had been under the care of Master Qiu on the grounds that he had been repercussions for mispracticing magic. The upper and lower carriages were also wrapped in cloaks by Master Qiu En, and the mage's hands were used to support the upper and lower carriages, using the alchemy doll left by Nagia, in order to pretend to be her, so that not many people doubted it.
The practice of magic is very difficult, in the early days of the discovery of magic, a large number of magicians died under the magic of their own chaos and riots, until Isura established and the magic became more perfect, this situation began to gradually decrease, but not none.
The guy at the hotel walked to the kitchen with a wooden basin, Roy wanted some hot water to wash his feet, looking at the dark night sky outside, Roy had a cold for no reason, the hotel here was built at some height, through the window of his room, he could clearly see the dark Chibuta Forest in the distance, the Chibuta Forest at night was very different from Darlings of Elusine, there were a large number of glowing beetles and fluorescent mushrooms in Darlings, and at night when there was no star or moon in the sky, it would emit a radiant brilliance, But there is no forest in Chibuta, only a black patch, like a giant beast that chooses people to devour, which makes people feel cold.
Soon the shopkeeper brought hot water, and Roy looked at it, and told him to put the basin on the ground aside, and before he could say anything to let him stand down, he heard a wolf howl outside, low but extremely paid, as if ringing in his ears.
Roy furrowed his brow and asked the servant who didn't seem to hear, "Is this the voice of a wolf?" ”
The servant was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said: "Distinguished guest, you are right, we have a wolf in the Chibuta Forest some time ago, very fierce, the survivors said that this wolf looks similar to the ice wolf, but it is pitch black, and the eyes are also strange turquoise, and when you see people, you will attack wildly, and the lord has ordered the lords not to go to the Chibuta Forest at will, and gathered people to prepare to enter the Qibuta Forest to get rid of the giant wolf." ”
Roy's face darkened, and as expected, the wolf howl just now was made by the werewolf.
Werewolves are very similar in appearance to the ice wolves that grow in Casagam, but their outer colors are not the same, werewolves born from the Emerald Dream have a pure black appearance, and turquoise eyes, and their limbs and claws will constantly emit black fragments of energy like burning paper ashes, which is a vision caused by the conflict between the nightmare power that makes up itself and the real world.
These monsters born from the emerald dream realm are inherently a collection of fear emotions, in the real world, they need to constantly create panic, absorb the panic emotions emitted by intelligent creatures to make up for their continuous disappearance, so in order to survive, these werewolves are driven by their nature to break free from the control of the protector Drahni and expand rapidly with the Ice Castle as the center, but due to the huge barrier established by Kasagam, the werewolves only flood within the kingdom of Kasagam, It did not expand to the entire Eastern Continent.
Werewolves are now present in the Chibuta Forest, near the Ice Castle, proving that Delany has entered the Emerald Dream and used the cursed Goldlyn's blood to create a nightmare monster: the Werewolf.
Over time, these werewolves will gain evolution-like abilities, gradually lengthening their waists, transforming from a black giant wolf on all fours to a humanoid creature that can walk upright and is intelligent enough, and its attack ability and attack methods will become more powerful.
At this time, this werewolf is just an ordinary giant wolf form, if you wait for a while, it will completely grow into a werewolf form, in this form, it can even use the ability similar to the release of fighting energy, and the powerful energy blades swung by both claws will easily tear through ordinary leather armor, leaving scars that are difficult to recover.
"Okay, I see, you can step down." Roy said to the guys in the store.
The fellow nodded hurriedly, bent down in agreement, and bowed out of the room.
Roy washed his feet and went to bed.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, the group continued to move in the direction of the Ice Castle, and on the way forward, they would pass through a part of the Chibuta Forest, and the archon of Tassata Qibuta specially ran over to persuade Roy and the others in the early morning, persuading them to bypass this piece of Chibuta Forest and go from another path, but Roy refused with a smile, with Master Qiu and himself, coupled with Viscount Drance and Sir Chanis, even in the face of a second-stage werewolf, there was no worry at all.
On the way out of the city, Roy's convoy encountered a crowd of people gathered together, there were soldiers from Tasatqibuta maintaining order here, through the crowd, three corpses could be seen lying on the ground, covered with white cloth, there were red blood stains oozing from the entity, staining the white cloth, it seemed to be a long time, looking at the size of an adult and two children.
One of the corners of the white cloth was lifted, revealing the dead body below, it was a young girl, her eyes were wide, her mouth was open, and there was an extremely deep wound on her neck, which had broken her cervical vertebrae, leaving only a trace of skin and flesh sticking to it, and the wound was surrounded by strange black smoke, so that the wound would not dry and coaze normally, but constantly oozed blood, which in Roy's opinion was undoubtedly done by the werewolf.
The purer the soul of intelligent beings, the stronger the emotional power of fear when threatened with death, a trait that makes werewolves more inclined to attack children.
The werewolf's claws carry the breath of a nightmare from the Emerald Dream Realm, making it difficult for the werewolf to heal on its own, and the blood will not coagulate and dry up normally.
A very old-looking woman crouched on top of the three corpses and cried continuously, choking her throat and constantly crying to the surrounding crowd, saying that she thought that the strange movement made last night was the strange sound produced by her old tinnitus, but she didn't expect it to be like this, from her words, it can be known that it should be his son and two granddaughters who died, and the only three relatives died last night, and she went to the neighbor's house not far next door last night to help the neighbor who traveled far away to escape this catastrophe.
Roy sighed and lowered the curtain, urging the convoy to move quickly, this was just the beginning, hoping that Delany didn't summon werewolves into the world in large numbers.
