Chapter 39: After-effects
With a dull ache in my chest, I rubbed my drowsy head and got up from the ground.
Naked I sat in a bloody ...... Inside the snowy fortress, surrounded by corpses. The scene is somewhat familiar, but I don't feel cold at all right now.
Hallucinations or dreams?
The feeling of blood in my mouth reminded me of what had happened before. After drinking Ella's blood, my body began to look abnormal, as if something was wriggling, howling, boiling, and eventually taking over my body and consciousness.
I don't seem to remember anything that happened before. I looked around and saw Ella walking towards me.
"Do you feel anything?"
Feelings? How could you ask about this? How do I answer Ella? Your blood is delicious? Are you a very cooooool figure turned into a werewolf?
I smiled and thought it was a reply to Ella. Thinking that I was still naked, I casually ripped off my clothes from a corpse next to me and put them on. It's strange, it's freezing, why didn't I feel the chill when I wasn't wearing anything?
When I finished dressing, I suddenly realized that the corpse in front of me was in a terrible state of death, with mutilated organs and blurred flesh that I couldn't bear to look at.
Even though I was no longer afraid of the cold, I couldn't help but shiver at what was in front of me. Could it be that Conan and I have some kind of common attribute? Every time I wake up in the wilderness, there will be a group of corpses lying around, and the way of death is still more and more miserable and curious.
I began to seriously check the dead around me and soon noticed strange places. Judging by the number of corpses, the scale of the deaths was very large; Judging from the clothing of the corpses, they were all a formidable force, and the battle situation was a one-sided slaughter; Judging from the corpse's death, the perpetrator did not look like a human with a cold weapon.
When I think about it, it's a little familiar...... It's Fakas! After he turned into a werewolf that time, this is what he left behind, and the clothes and weapons of these dead people are not silver hands.
Which of the rings turned into werewolves and went on a killing spree? I looked at Ella and saw that she was looking at me as well, with a look that I had never seen before.
Well? By the way, I drank Ella's blood before, so I can transform into a werewolf now. Thinking of this, I suddenly had a bad premonition.
"Ella, where is this? Did I just become a werewolf? Do these corpses have anything to do with me? ”
The glow of the torches made the oil paint on Ella's face vivid. Hearing my eager question, she glanced around the fortress and nodded, "That's right, it's all your work." ”
"How is that possible?!"
Ella's testimony was like a bolt from the blue, and I, who usually thought I was harmless to humans and animals, turned into a bloodthirsty butcher? I wanted to refute it, but the blood on my body was still there, and I couldn't wash it away. The education I have received over the years and the three views I have cultivated on the earth have made me feel extremely lost and depressed.
For a moment I forgot how to explain what I was doing.
……
After a short break, I forced myself to calm down, and my brain instinctively looked for reasons to defend myself. These things weren't what I wanted to do, and I probably couldn't control myself at that time, and I didn't know what I had done. And they're all silverhands, and Farkas told me they're a bunch of bastards who do anything about it. Moreover...... I'm a werewolf, and I don't want my skin to be stripped off and circulated on the black market, that's all.
Don't think about it, just quietly accept the reality first. I got dressed, got up from the ground, and forced my composure to walk over to Ella, but Ella asked me another strange question.
"Are the offal delicious?"
“…… Why do you ask this question? ”
"Didn't you notice that most of the corpses were mutilated?"
Seeing the horrific death of those corpses, I thought of the fishy smell in my mouth......
"Gross!"
Unable to suppress the discomfort in my heart any longer, I crawled on the ground and vomited.
---------------------------------------------------------
"If you don't take vitamins, you get scurvy. Some carnivores have difficulty synthesizing vitamins, so they will preferentially eat the internal organs of their prey when hunting. ”
"I don't understand what you're saying, but it feels amazing."
"For example, during the season when food is plentiful, saber-toothed tigers will discard their carcasses after eating their prey."
"Oh? The next time I have the chance, I'll take a closer look. ”
……
Eventually, I was able to overcome my discomfort and let it be as if it had just happened as a nightmare. I rode the horse I found in the Silverhand stronghold, chatting with Ella as I made my way - now I just wanted to get away from the scene of the tragedy.
"How far did I run after I became a werewolf?"
"Scoryue and I rode horses to bring you here, like walking a dog."
"I remember when Farkas turned into a werewolf, he seemed to keep his sanity?"
"The first time the Wild Blood is infused, it will try to get your body to adapt to it, and only after this upheaval will you be free to control what the werewolf does."
"Whew...... That's good, it's just a nightmare. ”
Ella's answer made me breathe a sigh of relief, only the amount of force that I can control is counted as strength, otherwise it is a hidden danger. In this way, Helsin's blessing is more plausible, even though it gave me a very poor first impression.
"But I have to say, I'm almost going to be jealous of you."
"Oh? How does this mean? ”
"You've caused us more trouble than you did when Skoyue suppressed Farkas, you were born to be one of us, and I even suspect that you already have wild blood."
Wild blood? What is it? The setting of the Dragonborn is puzzling enough, and now a strange statement has emerged......
"Be careful!"
Ha, don't think about it. Probably because of the fight just now, I am very weak now, and I can barely sit on the horse and do my best. If Ella hadn't pulled me from the side just now, I would have almost fallen off my horse.
"Werewolves are physically demanding, especially after you've just spit it out. Let's have this. ”
"What's that?" I took the red bottle that Ella had handed me and opened it, and a smell wafted from the mouth of the bottle that made me want to drink it.
"My blood. You didn't drink it clean in the underground furnace, and I put the rest of the blood in a bottle. ”
"Xie Lu Xie ......" I drank it all, "Your blood tastes very good." ”
Soon, however, Ella's blood reawakened my wildness.
"Whew!!!"
The body becomes uncontrollable. My heart was burning with a long roar, desperate to unleash the wildness that had surged back in my heart. I leaned down impatiently and bit off the neck of the horse under my crotch.
The horse was killed on the spot while running at full speed, and I fell off my horse. The body kept rolling on the ground until it hit a hard boulder. The pain made me aware of the changes in my body and began to fight for control of my body.
I lay on the ground weakly, convulsing all over, as if I had epilepsy. Ella turned her horse's head around me and reflexively held her outstretched hand, barely calming down.
……
"It's strange that you obviously have a physique that is very compatible with the blood of the wild."
I'm riding the same horse as Ella, wrapping my arms around her waist from behind. Forced to endure the extreme discomfort of my body, I had to lean my whole body on Ella's back, and the body temperature from the other person's body kept me awake.
Although I haven't experienced it firsthand, the reaction just now reminded me of a similar symptom. In this world, it should be called ...... Skuma. That's what the owner of the grocery store seems to call it, a drug of origin in Nain.
"Ella, what did Skumar look like when her symptoms flare-up?"
"Huh? It's kind of like that, but I've never drunk anything like this, and the way you have a seizure is too exaggerated. ”
The cheek against Ella's back gave me insight into the changes in the other person's breathing and heartbeat, and judging by Ella's reaction, she should not have been aware of it, was it an accident?
But I had to guess a little deeper. I've observed the daily routines of the Rings, and my situation has never happened to them at all, even with the brothers Farkas and Wilkas, who are more of an over-energy than a weak-minded person.
Moreover, control a baron with drugs...... Thinking of this, I became a little scared, and there was ample motivation to be able to define this "accident" as a "conspiracy". Is that what they're for?
I had just calmed down, and I was in turmoil again. What am I going to do? I have already experienced the pain of the attack, and now I am afraid that I will not be able to break free from their control, and the wild blood can only be obtained from them, so should I become their pawn? After all, the werewolves' strength is still not really useful to me, which just makes me qualified to be a thug for them.
And I didn't get depressed in the end, because I still had one of the most reluctant things to rely on. Let's assume that nothing has happened for the time being, and let's spend the rest of our days in peace.
"No matter what you think now, the blood of the wild is irretrievably rooted in you, and it is impossible for Scoryue's hard work to be wasted. Your reaction is a bit big, and I guess it's because you have a long adaptation period, which isn't surprising compared to the amount of force you've demonstrated. In the future, when I use my powers, I look at the place, and some cowards and mobs do not see this glory now. ”
When the first light appeared on the horizon, Ella and I returned to Snowy City at the dawn of a new day.
