"Bertie, I can't believe I'm still seeing you, how did you get me out?"

As the sun sets, Bertie, dressed in a medieval ladies' trench coat, walks down the street with Carmen with her head down.

Carmen was so thin at this time, he looked hungry, but his eyes were as bright as the stars of the night.

Bertie kept her head down and didn't speak, she didn't want to answer the question.

Carmen touched her nose and felt a little bored, and changed the subject: "Bertie, how are you doing these days, I'm very worried about you inside." ”

"Really?"

Bertie stopped and looked back at Carmen, "Promise me, don't be like you used to be and don't worry me anymore, okay?" ”

"Good!"

Carmen agrees happily, because Buck is dead, Tom is dead, and even if he wants to go back to the way he used to be.

What's more, he is no longer his old self, he can feel that there is a beast lurking within him, it roars, it is angry, it longs to reappear, to become the master of the world.

But Carmen couldn't tell Bertie these words, because he didn't know if telling Bertie would scare her.

After hesitating, he didn't say anything, and a thousand words turned into a sigh, and the shadow left in the sunset was so lonely.

Who am I, and if I am human, why can I become a wolf.

If I were a wolf, where would my steppe belong, and who would be my friend?

Carmen's mind is confused, he wants to find the answer to his question and know who he is.

"Brother, are you back?"

As Bertie arrives at Bill's Tavern, Ellie, who is waiting outside the door, runs up before she can enter the door.

Carmen opened her arms and rushed up, hugged her sister in her arms, and comforted: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over." ”

Ellie cried and nodded, unable to come out of her brother's arms.

After a while, feeling that her brother was particularly thin, Ellie asked with a crying voice, "Brother, your body?" ”

"It's okay, a little sequelae, just recuperate for a while." Carmen patted his sister on the back, and the brother and sister hugged each other for a long time before he reluctantly let go, turned to Bertie and said, "Bertie, thank you for taking care of Ellie during this time, now I have an important thing in mind, I must go first." ”

"You..."

Bertie had a lot to say, but he couldn't open his mouth when the words came to his lips, and he said in frustration: "You go." ”

Carmen didn't know what Bertie was struggling with, and she didn't know how much it cost Bertie to get him out, so she nodded and took her sister away.

Looking at his departing back, Bertie is like a dandelion fluttering in the air, who can say that she doesn't feel lost.

"Are you going to start?"

On the fourth floor, Wang Xu stood on the balcony, looking at Carmen who was slowly moving away.

The great enemy has been eliminated, the survival is worry-free, and the Wu bloodline has been initially awakened, and Carmen should be out of the novice village.

Wang Xu treated others with himself, thinking about what he would do next if he was Carmen.

"Being able to turn into a wolf may bring Carmen not only surprises, but also fright. If I were Carmen and I found out that I could become a werewolf, I would have wondered why I could and others couldn't. I'm going to want to find out, if Carmen thinks the same way, sooner or later he will discover how different his family's history is, how glorious his ancestors were, and start a new chapter, a chapter called The Wizard. ”

Wang Xu held the wine glass, tilted his head, and drank the rum in one gulp.

He dared to promise that Carmen would investigate the door of truth to the end.

Don't ask him why, just because Carmen is the main character, his life is destined to be magnificent, and if he deals with small characters like Anders all day long, it will be too sorry for his luck.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Back at home, Carmen began to rummage through the house, even the relics of her parents' lifetime.

"In the past, there was a badge in our family, and when we were young, my father would often wipe it, do you still have an impression?" Carmen asked, half-kneeling in a large utility room, without raising her head.

Ellie tilted her head and thought for a moment, then hesitated, "Is it the size of the kernel, shining gold, with a wolf's head badge painted on it?" ”

"yes, that's it."

Carmen got up from the ground, took her sister's hand, and encouraged, "Think about where we are." ”

"It's been sold for a long time, three years ago, it rained heavily for three days and three nights, and we didn't have anything to eat, so you asked me to find out everything valuable and sell it to Mr. Kyle, who runs a second-hand shop, and there is that golden badge among them." As soon as Ellie said this, Carmen remembered.

He patted his head in annoyance, sat down on the couch, and muttered, "It's over, it's over, it's total." ”

"What's wrong?" Ellie had always been blindfolded and had no idea what Carmen was doing.

Carmen couldn't explain that he couldn't tell Ellie that he could transform into the wolf on the badge.

"Carmen, my little man, you have to remember that our Carmen family has a long history, and we are the most honorable people. Take a good look at this badge, this is the family crest of our Carmen family, the wolf on it is the patron saint of our family, and one day the wolf god will appear again and lead our family to glory again. ”

A vague memory kept flashing through Carmen's mind.

In his memory, his father's face had blurred, and the only thing he remembered was the golden badge and the wolf's head on the front of the badge.

Previously, Carmen had never felt how precious this badge was, let alone believed in the so-called patron saint.

Now he believes it, because in retrospect, the appearance of his transformation is not exactly the same as the wolf god on the badge.

The wolf god is once again leading the Carmen family to glory.

Carmen still remembers these words that his father repeatedly emphasized, and when he was helpless as a child, he also fantasized that one day the wolf god would suddenly come true, just like the legend about the magic lamp, and grant him three wishes.

At this moment, Carmen doesn't think so, he can become the wolf god on the badge, and since the Carmen family uses this as a family crest, is it that his ancestors also have the ability to become wolves.

Carmen didn't know, he just knew that he should find his family coat of arms and then go back to his ancestral land.

The ancestral land of the Carmen family is not in the city of Sishabel, they moved from Carmen's great-grandfather's generation, and their real hometown is in the south, on a small island called Mordir.

Maybe after recovering the badge, I should go to Modir to have a look, and maybe I can find the problem of my transformation.

"Ellie, you are at home to watch the house, my brother will go out for a while, and he will be back soon."

Carmen didn't have time to explain anything, so she took a handful of change from the drawer and hurried out the door.

Kyle's second-hand store, famous in the slums.

He collects everything here, sells everything, wears old shoes, uses old furniture, rusty kitchen knives, and has no teeth, and he is a rag collector.

Many poor people who can't afford to buy new goods like to come to him to buy old goods, and in the past, Carmen would get good things and would come to Kyle to sell, and the Kyle store was the fairest in terms of price.

"Long time no see, Carmen, I've heard that you're in, and I'm glad to see you again." Kyle's shop is not small, with a shop in front and a courtyard in the back, which is one of the few independent courtyards in the slums.

"Long time no see, Kyle."

Carmen walked up, crossed her hands on the counter, and whispered, "Do you remember that I sold a badge to you?" ”

"I don't remember, over the years, you have sold me not a thousand but eight hundred, if I remember everything, I don't have to do anything else." Kyle, a bald middle-aged man who wipes a horse lamp with a handkerchief in his hand, replied nonchalantly.

"Kyle!"

Carmen slapped a few times on the counter and said in a deep voice: "It was three years ago, I sold you a gold badge, bright gold, with a wolf's head engraved on the front and the word Carmen written on the back. ”

"Oh, I remember, that thing has made me miserable, not gold, not iron, not copper, not steel, I bought it from you at a great price, and I almost vomited blood."

"Enough Kyle, where is that thing, I'm going to redeem it."

Carmen interrupts Kyle, and he knows that none of Kyle's words are true.

Kyle heard that Carmen wanted to ransom something, looked him up and down for a while, shook his head, and said, "I'm not a pawnshop here, Carmen, I sold your things a long time ago." ”

"Sold to whom?" Carmen asked.

"Who to sell to, let me think about it."

Kyle put down the lantern and muttered, "Billy, Kelly, Bailey, Dali, I remember a sharp character, he was a sailor who lived in the docks, and he especially liked to collect things with a sense of age, why can't I remember his name for a while." ”

"Alright, I'll find him."

Carmen slammed the door and walked out, as the saying goes, cats have cats, dogs have dogs, as long as he knows that he lives in the docks, is a sailor, and has a sharp character in his name, he believes that he can find this person.

As for what to do after finding it, whether to buy it with money, or steal it at night, or rob it openly, that's another question.
