Ente pulled a blanket and put it over the man's body.

"I think you all remember what I said about the difference between dark creatures, right?"

"Yes. Little Paul, who was in a happy mood after receiving Isenas's affirmation, replied: "One is a stitched monster summoned by the magic circle, and the other is a natural monster eroded by the dark power, right?"

That's what it means. Enn nodded. "But this can only represent two broad categories of dark creatures, and if we continue to study, there will be many branches in these two categories. ”

Leo pointed to the sleeping man and asked, "So this guy is a form under the natural monster?"

"The exact name is the secondary erosion demon species. ”

"Secondary erosion?" Leo repeated. "Does it mean that the monster has been cleared of the dark power and then re-infected?"

"No, it's a monster that is infected by the original monster, not by the original dark power. ”

"Is that weak?" Leo poked the unconscious man's head.

"It's really weak, so weak that they can't control the dark power in their bodies at all, and when the dark power is strong, they will always involuntarily manifest the form of monsters. ”

"Then what are you doing with such a worried expression?" Leo reached out and tried to tug at the corners of Ent's stiff mouth.

Ent's eyes quickly pressed Leo's hand on the table, and emphasized: "As the second generation of infected, they are indeed very weak, but you don't forget the original innate monsters that eroded them twice, but all the monsters that have the ability to achieve the second infection have never been exterminated in the history of the church, and we have given this kind of monsters the title of monarch, and. ”

Speaking of this, Entre paused, and pressed his free other hand on the sleeping man's hand, and a faint wisp of holy light qi rushed into the man's body, and it was such a slight wisp of fighting qi that immediately caused a strong reaction on his arm, the man's hair became thick and hard, and his nails began to stretch from his fingers, becoming sharp.

The claws trembled slightly, as if they wanted to lift them up and grab at the person next to them.

"As you can see, a little bit of the right lure can activate his monster form, which means that he is extremely unstable and insecure. ”

Entre retracted his fighting spirit, and the vision of the man's arm faded little by little, turning back into a human form.

Leo pulled out his hand, stroked the strange place on the man's arm, plucked out a hair and put it in front of his eyes to observe.

"I can't see any difference with normal people. Leo said with a frown. "What are we going to do with him? To be honest, I don't want to keep such a threat to Nana. ”

"But I can't kill a normal person, even if he just looks normal now. Entre sat back and put away his hands. "If he's going to turn into a werewolf later, I think I'll be able to teach him a lesson. ”

"What if he picks a time that isn't so good?" Leo sat down next to Nana, looking at the man with some headache.

"Then you'd better do it now. ”

"But. Leo said in a tangled way: "I can't do anything to an innocent person." ”

Lizanka pulled out a dagger from her waist and placed it on the man's throat quickly and quietly: "Why are you so abrasive? It's just killing people, and you're killing a lot of people, right, what kind of good people are you pretending to be here at this time?"

"Hey, this guy is not the same as we usually do, he just passively turned into a half-werewolf. ”

Seeing that Lizanka's dagger had pressed out a shallow blood mark, Esenus suddenly intervened to stop Lizanka's movements, and Lizanka's dagger had to stop in the frozen air.

"Wait. ”

Rizanka looked at Esenus a little strangely and asked, "Are you also moved by compassion?"

"I just wouldn't waste it so much. Isenas withdrew his raised hand and asked Ent, "I'd like to know a little more about werewolves before making a decision." ”

"I know everything. ”

Esenus groaned for a moment and asked, "Are werewolves a rare creature of darkness?"

"It's one of the more common types of dark creatures, and they're easy to gather and multiply. ”

"Reproduction?" said Izenas grasping the key words. "Is the second-generation werewolf just like him?"

"No, although the werewolves that are bred will decline in strength, they will not degenerate into human appearance, and the offspring of the original bloodline are essentially different from the secondary erosion. ”

"The essential difference," said Isenas to himself, "that is, it is not necessarily a werewolf who infects and erodes this man?"

"But it must be a creature of high intelligence. ”

"Is there any evidence?"

"It is a backward extrapolation based on the results, and there is no substantial evidence. ”

"Be specific. ”

Ente pondered for a longer time, and then said: "In the long-term struggle between the various churches and dark creatures, we have found that if the original innate monsters are birds and other low-intelligence animals, then the creatures around it that are secondarily eroded are only low-intelligence creatures, and if the original innate monsters are humanoid high-intelligence creatures such as werewolves, vampires, and dark monarchs, then the creatures around them that have been secondarily eroded will be rich and diverse, such as werewolves. ”

"It seems to be a bit bad. Isenus whispered.

"How bad is it?" asked Leo casually.

Isenus ignored him and continued to ask Ente, "What do the churches do with those monarch-level monsters you mentioned?"

"Peace agreements. Ente spread his hands and said helplessly. "Because monarch-level monsters have the ability to be eroded twice, they naturally have a large army of monsters, which is also the origin of their title. Moreover, these monarch-level monsters themselves have the strength of the upper legend level, so reaching an agreement with them to limit their sphere of influence is the lowest-cost way to stop losses. ”

"And in your protocol records, do you include this one in this area?"

"Obviously, no. Enther shook his head. "That's why I'm worried. ”

Isenus exhaled lightly and said, "It's even worse. ”

"What the hell are you doing badly? Leo leaned against the wall, helplessly watching as Esenus and Ente played dumb riddles there.

"It was so bad that it affected the safety of our trip. ”

"Safe?" Leo sat up straight, not urging, waiting for Isenus to speak.

"Use your brain, don't always think about relying on me. Isenus pointed to his temple. "Think of the Ice Crystal Deep Sea, which is a glacier that has not melted for a hundred years, the permanent residence of the indifferent dragon Euzhegalus, and the traces of dark creatures will only appear in such a dangerous place, do you think about it, will the monarchical dark creature who transformed this little werewolf sit quietly in the grave? If not, where is the most likely place for him?"

“... Water Jedi. ”

The only area in this vicinity marked as a danger zone is the Water Source Jedi where they are going.

Leo took a deep breath and said, "That's really dangerous. ”

What was originally just a heart-wrenching journey to find his mother, but with the addition of the legend of this monarch-level dark creature and the Orc Sanctuary, the danger level has risen to the point of being similar to a trip to Artisan Town.

"So, this werewolf can't be killed yet, we need to get some news from him. ”

With that, Isenus opened the window and grabbed a cloud of rain from the outside to wrap the man's head.

"Ahem, ahem!"

Cool water and suffocation are a great way to wake people up quickly, and the effect is immediate.

"Hello. Esenas spoke, blocking little Paul by the way.

"Hello, sir. The man sat up staggeringly, shook his hair, and looked at Isennus.

"A member of our team picked you up. Isenas gave a brief account of the man's situation.

"Yes? Thank you very much, you found me in a woods, right? I remember when I had a hard fight with a wild beast. ”

Isenus quietly pressed the little Paul who wanted to refute, and said quietly: "Of course, you were scarred when we found you. ”

The man was startled and glanced down at the place where he was exposed.

Fortunately, although it was still a human body at this time, the werewolf's powerful self-healing ability was still working, and only a shallow white scar was left on the wound, and these people should not be able to see that the wound on his body came from a knife wound.

"We've taken care of the wound for you, but our actions seem to be a bit redundant. Isenus added leisurely.

The man's ears stood up as if they were still a pair of wolf ears.

He approached the carriage door with some vigilance, put a hand on the carriage door from behind, and said in a low voice: "Thank you very much for your kindness, but I still have some urgent matters to deal with, so I won't disturb your trip." ”

With that, the man slammed open the carriage door and was about to jump out of the carriage.

"Don't worry, don't worry. Isenus waved his hand, and the man staggered back to the carriage, and Isenas manipulated the man to close the carriage door.

The man only felt a tremendous pressure coming from the air, forcing his body to make these movements.

"You see, Mr. Werewolf, we have no ill will towards you. ”

Hair stands on end!

If this man was worried about whether the party had discovered his identity, then he didn't have to bother to keep it up now.

And this ability to capture him back inexplicably made him completely lose the desire to resist.

He said decadently: "Well, sir, maybe you really have no ill will towards me, and everyone who believes in the gods has no ill will towards me, because you will get nothing by killing me, and you will get a large bounty for sending it to the local church." ”

Leo and Lizanka's eyes lit up, and they all looked at Ent.

“... About twenty gold coins, and because he's a dark creature formed after a second erosion, the price might be lower, maybe, ten gold coins?"

"That's all?" said Leo with a look of disappointment.

"It's already a lot, and the average income of an adventurer for a mission is about four gold coins. Ente said helplessly, these teammates were completely nourished by the gold coins obtained from these adventures, and they couldn't even look down on a family's income for almost a year.

Isenus clapped his hands, attracting the werewolf's attention, "You also saw it, Mr. Werewolf, my friends are not interested in your bounty, so..."

"So you've got loved ones who died at the hands of dark creatures, right? The werewolf leaned against the carriage and said with his eyes closed.

Faced with the man's somewhat stubborn pessimism, Isenas had to forcibly close his mouth before he could continue to speak.

“... So we want to get some information from you in exchange for your right to live. ”

Hearing this, the man who was originally waiting for death suddenly turned red, his cheeks bulged, and he seemed to have something to say.

Isenus let go of the air from his mouth.

"Don't even think about it, you self-proclaimed righteous adventurers!" the despicable and shameless villain" the man shouted excitedly, "You don't look down on my ten gold coins, but you look down on the hundred gold coins behind me! Two hundred gold coins! You don't want to know the location of my companion from my mouth!"

Everyone in the adventure group couldn't help but look at each other.

Before he started asking, why couldn't this werewolf help but blow himself up?

P.S I'm supposed to be able to design a more complete system of dark creatures, I guess.
