Chapter Ninety-Four: Greymane's Manor
Greymane, a large villa built on a high cliff on the coast, was also the private estate of King Jean of Gilne. Located in the southwest corner of the Kingdom of Gilneis, the weather here is the same as the Silver Pine Forest, rainy and humid all year round, but compared to the noisy Twilight Harbor, it is quiet and laid-back. In order to provide a quieter environment for Liam's treatment, Jean deliberately moved the druid and Liam here, away from the gunfire and shouts of killing from the front line. Ares and Gianna were fortunate enough to be here with the team.
It has to be said that Azeroth has many places of magnificent and beautiful scenery, like this villa built on a high cliff, which is built on a hill, layered, backed by the endless sea, and in front of a private farm with vineyards, olive groves and other crops. On the high cliff behind the villa, there is a watchtower that overlooks the headland and bay, and if an outside ship approaches, you can see it clearly from this watchtower. At critical moments, it can also act as a military defense structure.
In front of the watchtower, there is a vast headland, here, which is equivalent to a training ground, a troop gathering place, Ares looked at it, and roughly estimated that it could stand full of a thousand people. That is, Jean's King's Guard, which will probably be assembled here in a critical moment.
The manor is backed by the sea, with the reef and beach at the bottom, and its own private farm in front of it. I have to say that the lord of a country is so good at enjoyment.
As the prince, Liam stayed in this villa and received intensive treatment from the druids. His life is just as important, and whether Jean will accept the werewolf or not depends on the effect of this treatment.
Luckily, like other werewolves, Liam's wildness was effectively controlled on the third day after moving into the manor. His eyes had become clear, no longer as bloodthirsty red as before. In addition, he also retrieved his own memories, and the druids were awesome in spiritual healing, purifying dreams to achieve the purpose of purifying werewolves.
After that, Liam can walk hunched over and pick up a knife and fork to eat, as a normal werewolf would, instead of grabbing food with his paws or biting directly from his mouth, as he did before. There is only one step away from the final result of the treatment - turning back into a human form.
"Listen, my prince, the druids can only help you, and the rest is up to you. Turning back into human form is a painful process, with muscles and bones all over the body moving and misaligning again, and the druids can't help us if we do it by our own will. I was unfamiliar with it at first, and the process of transformation was painful, with many of our companions returning to werewolf form halfway through the transformation because they couldn't bear the severe pain of the transformation. However, as long as you are strong enough, you can do it. The first transformation is the most difficult, and the next time you become proficient, it will not be so painful. ”
Sitting in the villa's dining room, Crolley eats and encourages Liam to overcome his own psychological barriers to achieve this transformation. It's also easy to understand, Ares has seen many werewolf transformations, and the sound of the dislocated bones gurgling must have been very painful. The transformation of werewolves and humans in the game is a momentary thing, which seems easy, but in reality, it is a very painful thing.
But there is also the benefit of being a werewolf, which is that the body becomes stronger and the sense of smell and hearing becomes more sensitive. However, no matter how many benefits there are, Ares does not want to become this race, and it is better to be a normal human.
"I'll try."
Liam said, walking to the center of the warm hall and trying to transform in the light of the chandelier.
It was an extremely painful thing, and you could see that the muscles of his whole body were tense, and the expression on his face looked very painful, and the green tendons covered his face and arms. A hysterical scream came from deep in his throat.
"Believe in yourself, you can!"
Crowley was encouraging.
Only the click of dislocated bones could be heard, and Liam's body struggled to deform in the light. His body was shrinking, his ears were getting shorter, his claws were shrinking. Although the process was very slow, everyone cast expectant eyes.
Until a scream of pain came, Liam's body swelled rapidly, and he recovered the prototype of the werewolf in a very short time...... Everyone knew that he had failed......
Belissa and Crolley hurriedly approached.
Liam was sweating profusely and lay on the wooden floor, as if he had collapsed, not even having the strength to speak. Its arms rested limply on Crowley's hands, and its head lay in Belisa's arms. From the mouth and nose, a faint breath came out.
"You'll need time to get used to it."
Belissa said comfortingly.
"No, there's no time, the Bloodtooth Werewolf's offensive has intensified, how long can Twilight Harbor hold out, we don't know the bottom of our hearts now, I must try my best to convince my father to accept the Werewolf, we need allies...... I have to do it, turn back into human form! ”
Liam lay down and said in a faint breath. Obviously, in the heart of the little prince, he has long accepted the werewolf. Ares didn't know what kind of dreams the druid shared with him while he was sleeping. However, it can be seen that when Liam wakes up, his prejudice against werewolves has long been gone.
"There are some things that cannot be forced, Your Royal Highness, you were attacked by a blood-toothed werewolf until you turned into a werewolf, and this lasted for a month, without receiving any treatment. Now, it's much harder for you to change back into human form than any other of your kind. ”
Belissa said softly as she stroked the hair on Liam's head. She was like a mother, taking care of her sick child, and Liam was in her arms, like a child. Perhaps for the werewolves and druids in the dream, one day is equivalent to a year, and these ten days of treatment, perhaps in the dream, they have already gone through more than ten years of spring and autumn.
"Dear Belissa, don't call me Your Highness, Prince, perhaps I should forget who I am...... to unite all the forces that can be united. ”
Liam relented a little, and he struggled to raise his head and sit up from Belissa's arms.
"How are you going to persuade your father, if you are still this body?"
Ares walked over and threw the cruel and realistic question to Prince Gilneys.
"If appearances don't prove it, then prove it with deeds......"
Liam replied thoughtfully.
