Chapter 216: Get to the bottom of it
"Whew...... Woo Woo ......"
Really...... What the hell is this guy doing? Draenor forced himself to turn his head carefully to look out the window, actually very concerned about the movement. This young man has been sniffing something like a hunting dog since he got into the car and removed his armor, which is inevitably a little disgusting, could it be that there is some strange smell on his body?
After sniffing for a moment, Duke finally straightened up and leaned back in his chair, a confident smile on his face, and he stretched out his hand to Langlano and presented his guess to him word by word as if he were interrogating.
"You're a Lycos too, aren't you?"
Draenor had already expected in his heart that the other party would say this, and getting along with the Licos in such a narrow space would inevitably reveal his identity. Unfortunately, this is a completely wrong answer.
"No, I'm from Canaan, and I'm from Eichenryde." Draenor unabashedly revealed the truth, he already had the identity of a "knight of the expedition", there was no need to continue to hide his identity, showing the truth is often more able to win the trust of the other party than deception.
"Hey, no, no...... You're a Lycos, I know that. Obviously, Duke didn't want to admit it, he had already decided that the other person was his own kind, "It's not as good as Eurika, but I'm still very confident in terms of smell, I've never had a problem before, and I won't this time." ”
"Aren't you sleepy?" Draenor closed his eyes, he didn't want to continue to fight with this young man, let alone admit that the other party had won, he just pretended to be extremely patient and diverted the topic, "It always makes me feel sleepy to talk about the past, you might as well take the rare opportunity to take a nap at this moment." ”
"That's right, it's such a rare opportunity, that's why I'm so excited!" Duke grinned and leaned forward, almost in front of Angano, "You know what? A lot of work in the guild is even more boring than I thought, and the messenger is the boring one! It's only been two hours, and I feel like I'm going to be an old man! Thanks to your and Chief Dino's trust, I was able to temporarily leave the team to join the real investigation, which is what a knight should do! ”
"Ah......h
"It's your own choice, and since you're determined to serve the Order, you can only keep your mouth shut and do the job at hand." Draenor admonished the other in the tone of his most hated elder. From this moment on, he decided that Dino had made a wrong decision, that they needed real support, not to play with the children like a nanny!
"That's not what I meant...... How...... You know it's not easy to get along with those girls, do you? Duke asked in a low voice.
Looking at the other party's lost eyes, Draenor actually felt a little regretful, such a strict requirement seemed a little too heavy for a teenager. He cleared his throat and decided to play the role of "confidant brother", so he asked the other party in a just right serious tone: "Does the presence of your team members make you feel uncomfortable?" ”
Duke pursed his lips, the lowness in his eyes turned into fear, he lifted his feet, and replied in an almost whispered voice, "It's all right, but it's not Charlotte, she's very nice, we're the same age, and we have a lot in common...... Mine is someone else......"
Shalotte. Baumel is also supposed to be a spirit, although she is young, it is not difficult to see that she has strong social skills, and those embarrassing professional smirks have become a fairly natural habit for her, and the problem should not be on her.
"Eurica, I guessed right, right?" This was the only possibility, and to be honest, Draenor felt a little strange from the first time he saw her, the girl of the Lycos clan would only put on the same expression at all times, and always seemed very quiet...... It's surprisingly quiet! It's like a shadow entrenched in a corner around you, and if you don't look at it, you can barely feel her presence.
"Yes, Eureka...... I thought at first she would be as enthusiastic and lively as most Lickos. But after all these interactions, it turns out that I was wrong......" Duke paused for a moment, swallowed his saliva and continued, "It's a bit rude, but she'...... Well, she's not a human at all, but a beast, a real wolf! ”
“...... That was the first few times, and I finished my patrol as usual and returned to the post on Mikhail Street. It was the only one in the room, it was pitch black, and she was lying on her desk and didn't know what she was doing...... 'maybe she's sorting out papers?' So why not turn on the lights? I thought so and slowly approached her. And when she looked back, I swore I could see that scene clearly...... She was clutching a piece of raw flesh, biting like a wild beast. In this way, the moment she saw me, she even handed over the piece of meat 'generously', as if she wanted to share it with me! ”
Licus people who eat raw meat...... Draenor was intrigued by Duke, perhaps as a manifestation of bestiality.
"Did she show any obvious aggression?"
"No, she was quiet all the time and didn't show any hostility towards the people around her...... But isn't that scary enough? She eats raw meat, plus she can't speak, what's the difference between this and a wolf? ”
"It's a big difference......" Draenor muttered, not enough to tell that she had contracted the horrible disease, and from this description he was sure that Eureka had just some special fetishes. He pulled out the file he had prepared for himself, flipped through it a few times, and noticed the name in Duke's mouth.
"Eurika, Age: Unknown, Place of Birth: Moyal Plateau, Unknown...... Details: According to Shalot. Description of Baumel, Eureka is the adopted daughter of the Baumel family. Mr. Baumel was transporting goods through the habitat of the highland wolves and found the young girl who had been adopted by the wolves......"
Draenor hurriedly went through Eureka's file, "It's clear that those disturbing habits were left to her by the wolves, and the fact that beasts raise human babies is very rare in Canaan, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist......"
"Sir, am I a little too worried?"
"Hmm...... Just a girl with a story. Trust me, it may be a little difficult to get along with her, but she is your teammate after all, and as the captain you need to take care of her a little more......" Draenor symbolically said a few words, and Du Jiao's words reminded him of the words, not the content, but the accent of his words.
Draenor recalled Jett's words, and it seemed that many people believed that the young man in front of him was from the realm of the "wolf faction" in the north. He pretended to flip the page inadvertently, and his eyes fell on the paper with his name written on it, "Name: 'Duke', not to reveal his original name...... Age: 17 years old, Place of birth: Boyara City, Details: Exile ...... of Snowway"
That's true...... Draenor closed the papers, tucked them back into his pocket, and looked Duke up and down again. Now that both of them have figured out each other's identities, Draenor decides to keep his mouth shut instead of continuing to ask questions in order to hide his past. It was clear that the exile had left an indelible scar on Duke, and perhaps it was because of those painful memories that he remained highly skeptical of anything.
Be vigilant and observe, perhaps that's why he can become a messenger.
Snowway's sins can never be repaid...... Draenor muttered, avoiding Duko's gaze and looking up at the empty ceiling. He didn't want to recall the memories of half a month ago, there was not much time left for Snowway, there was always one, Nagseus would put an end to this one...
"Northern Farm, sir, here we are."
The coachman's words interrupted Lenlano's thoughts, and he blinked and patted Du on the shoulder, "Put on your armor, no matter what, you must be clear: we are now the knights of Kerton. ”
