Chapter 342: The Night of the Full Moon
Huang Junyao was stunned, he had never been so unpopular.
Two tall figures pushed Huang Junyao away and walked in, and the older one said sadly to his mother: "Catherine, don't worry, we will definitely catch the werewolf who killed Rowling." ”
The mother nodded, and said to the other young man, "Conse, take Rosa out for a walk, I need to talk to your father alone." ”
The young man took me by the wrist and left the room, and the crowd outside dispersed. Huang Junyao followed not far behind, but was discovered by Kang Se.
Conse turned to Huang Junyao and said, "Listen, Caesar, I know what you think, but Catherine won't allow you to be together. She's already preparing my engagement to Rosa. ”
My mouth went out of control again, "But I'll never be with you either!" ”
Conseil looked at me in shock, as if to ask me what nonsense I was talking about.
"Rowling told me last night that she was going to find you and elope with you, but she's going to die now. You can't get away with it. I looked up and looked directly at Conse's handsome face.
It's a bit informative. Rowling seems to have something between her and Conseil, but her mother wants her youngest daughter to be with Conseil, and now Rowling is still dead at the hands of a werewolf......
Conser hastily explained that he hadn't seen Rowling the night before, and he had no idea that Rowling was coming to him. Huang Junyao stepped forward and pulled me behind him, and said with a cold face: "As soon as the eldest daughter died, Catherine was in a hurry to marry the younger daughter to you, wouldn't you have a troubled conscience?" If you really like Rosa, you should find out the cause of Rowling's death as soon as possible, kill the werewolf and give it to Rosa, so as to comfort her. ”
Huang Junyao has no sympathy, he just wants to delay the time so that my marriage contract with Conse does not go so smoothly.
Kang Se looked very shrewd, but he was actually a stupid big man, and when others heard Huang Junyao say this, at most, they would say "what's your business", but he thought about Huang Junyao's words seriously, nodded and said, "Okay, what you said makes a lot of sense." Then he made a promise to me that he would go with his father to the city to find the Knights of St. Valen.
Huang Junyao and I went home separately, and as soon as we entered the door, our mother asked, "Did you go out with that wild boy from Caesar again?" ”
I was brought up by my grandmother since I was a child, and now when I meet such a chattering mother, I don't feel kind at all, but I feel impatient, "Can you stop being a wild boy?" Why don't you worry about my sister's funeral? ”
The mother's face became ugly, "You and your father are the same character!" Am I not doing it for your good? You don't have to worry about the rest of your life if you marry Conse......"
I interrupted her and said, "Then why don't you let your sister marry her?" You know your sister's feelings for Kangse, but you never pretend not to know, if you hadn't revealed in front of your sister that I would marry Kangse, would she have thought about eloping with Kangser and finally died? ”
As he spoke, a man with a vicissitude of face pushed the door open and walked in, wrapped in clothes made of animal fur, looking like a bear. I subconsciously called out "Father", and he nodded tiredly in response, "Is there anything else to eat at home?" ”
His father, Hard, was a hunter, and in order to survive the harsh winter for his family, he was stationed in the forest every day to catch more prey, and if he hadn't heard of Rowling's death, he would still not have returned.
Catherine choked, "There's nothing left, and the food was given to the father and son to use on their way to the city to find the Knights." The daughter is dead, and you, the father, are not as enthusiastic as the neighbors. ”
Harder gave Catherine a gloomy look, and went into the house to sleep for himself. The two parted unhappily.
The next day was calm, and I went out of my house to learn more about the situation from the villagers. This village is called Fertile Village, which was originally very large, but because the werewolves occupied the forest, people had to continue to reduce the living area in order not to be harmed, and signed a non-aggression agreement with the werewolves, which is why Hader dared to go to the forest to hunt. In order to maintain the agreement, the villagers would offer a cow to the werewolf every year, but this year the werewolf tore up the agreement and killed Rowling on the night of the full moon.
Sure enough, no matter where you are, the night of the full moon is the standard for werewolves. I was touching my chin and thinking about it, when I heard a cheer coming from the entrance of the village, and Huang Junyao and I rushed over to take a look, and found a group of men on tall horses and wearing thick iron armor appearing vividly, followed by the father and son of Conse, needless to say, this is the knight they have invited back.
They're shouting something, probably to eradicate the werewolves or something. I'm not confident about this, after all, I can eradicate this a long time ago, when has human beings ever been merciful to others?
At this time, the bearded man who seemed to be the captain of their knights raised his arms and shouted, he felt a strong werewolf stench in our village, in fact, werewolves are disguised among us humans, and only on the night of the full moon will they show their true bodies.
The plot direction is really unpredictable, and now it's like playing Werewolf Killing.
The captain also said that since the werewolf had already killed people, he could go on a killing spree every full moon night from now on. Fortunately, the strength of the werewolf is not strong in normal times, as long as the werewolf is pulled out on an ordinary day, it can be killed.
The villagers greeted the knights into the village, and the captain offered to check Rowling's body, and then took a sword to cut off a strand of Rowling's hair, indicating that this werewolf is different from ordinary werewolves, its venom has soaked into Rowling's corpse, and if it is not buried tonight, it will cause a corpse mutation, and Rowling will become a zombie Driven by the werewolf, so in order to prevent future trouble, Rowling's body must be burned now. But tonight will be the night of the full moon, and the werewolves should come out of the forest to summon this new minion, and it will be a good time to take it down in one fell swoop.
"And," the captain's dark grey eyes scanned the crowd, "in order not to arouse the suspicion of the werewolves, we need one of Rowling's blood relatives to take Rowling's severed hair and disguise the corpse and be burned on the firewood so that the werewolf will show up to save his minions." ”
What the hell? Will werewolves save their own slaves?
I tried to sneak out of the crowd, only to see that everyone's eyes were on me. Now, the captain's gray eyes locked on me.
He walked up to me with Rowling's severed blond hair, "Come here, brave girl." ”
Catherine sprang out of the crowd and stood in front of me, crying, "No! It's too dangerous! ”
The captain looked at her calmly and asked, "Are you Rowling's mother?" Why don't you take the place of your own daughter? ”
Catherine stiffened, and I gently pushed her away and took the hair that had lost its luster.
Afterwards, Huang Junyao pulled me and yelled, asking me if I was crazy.
I shrugged, "It's okay, even if we both die here, it's just an exit from the dream, right?" ”
Huang Junyao replied in the affirmative with a gloomy face.
Back home, Harder and Conse were there. Harder said to me bitterly, "Father will not let anything happen to you." Conse, who was on the side, was also nodding.
Don't set up a flag.
In the evening I was set up on a fire, and the ground was full of branches and wood, and the flames rushed to my feet, and the temperature was terrible, and the smoke was so thick that I couldn't breathe, and I was drowsy.
"Let go! Put people down! "Huang Junyao saw that I was not in the right state, and immediately shouted at the people around me, but none of the villagers moved, and Kang Se and Huang Junyao rushed through the crowd to save me, but were blocked by the people of the Knights. At this moment, a rough wolf howl was deafening, many people fled in all directions with a scream, the knights entered a state of readiness, Kang Se and Huang Junyao hurriedly bypassed the fire, and tried to rescue me from behind the cross, but I saw an overwhelming black shadow leaping out of the sky, and the well-equipped knights were vulnerable in front of it, and the formation was immediately scattered, and many people fell to the ground.
I saw in the black smoke a giant wolf the size of an Asian elephant, much bigger than the wolf king I had seen in the forest.
The werewolf swooped down in front of me, and the wind it brought with it extinguished the fire. Kang Se and Huang Junyao tried to protect me, but they were swept away by the werewolf's huge claws.
The werewolf's fangs pointed at me, and he said in a voice that only the two of us could hear, "Come to the end of the stream in three days, or I will kill you all." With that, he kicked his hindpaws and turned to leave the chaos scene, but the captain of the knights aimed his flaming silver crossbow at it, and I seemed to hear the werewolf snort contemptuously, and the rain of arrows did not catch up with its departing figure.
Huang Junyao ran to me, lifted me up from the ground, and asked me what the werewolf had said.
I was puzzled to explain to him, and my heart said that I had a face that captivated the country and the city in my dreams, and that all species could be charming? The werewolf already knew that I wasn't the dead Rowling, and it was weird to go and take me away.
The Captain of the Knight walked towards me with a bad face, as if he had decided that there was some kind of secret between me and the Werewolves. Just as he was within five paces of me, he suddenly collapsed without warning, and Conser hurried over to help him up, only to find him dead.
The Knights were suddenly leaderless, and the werewolves had caused them heavy losses, so they decided to return to the church in the city and wait for orders from the priest or the new captain.
The body of the captain of the knights was inconvenient to take away, so it was left to the village doctor to investigate, and the doctor came forward to say that he had died from the venom of a poisonous mushroom that could be found everywhere in the forest. This werewolf is really in our village, he first pretended to be a normal person and poisoned the captain, and then pinched the time to save me, and just when the captain was about to interrogate me, he was poisoned to death.
