Chapter 248: Return: Time Difference and Favorability
Whether to go to the trouble of returning to the southern border of the human empire and inform the humans of the invasion of the ghoul army, the white wolf is still hesitating. (See, see, again)
The rain outside the cave doesn't seem to stop at all, and if it continues like this, there is a good chance that a flood will be unavoidable.
"I've decided, I have to get this news to the upper echelons of the human race, you can stay here and take shelter from the rain, and I'll go back as soon as I go. It took five minutes for the white wolf to weigh the pros and cons and finally make a decision.
"Don't you need me to come with you?" asked Richard, surprised.
"No, if you go with me, it will slow me down, don't worry, if I go faster, I will be back in about ten hours, you just wait here for me for a day." The White Wolf vetoed Richard's suggestion.
The white wolf said something mean, just like in his eyes, Richard and they were dragging their feet, but Richard was not angry because of this sentence, he knew that what the white wolf said was the truth, in the previous long-distance run, the white wolf slowed down a lot in order to take care of the feelings of their "passengers".
If the white wolf really let go of running, just like when he ran for his life just now, the speed was really fast, relatively speaking, they "passengers" would not be too comfortable.
In addition, Richard also has some indescribable thoughts, as long as the white wolf leaves, then he can be alone with Dori for a while, with such a giant light bulb as the white wolf shining here, he has no chance to do it at all, thinking of the stripped, wet catwoman Dori, Richard couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Dead man outside control. Seeing Richard's whimsical expression, the white wolf couldn't help but pout, they were all males, he could see at a glance what Richard was thinking, but Dori was obviously interested in Richard, since this was a consensual thing, then he had better leave quickly, there was no need to continue grinding here.
"Then I'll go, and you take care of this priest for me, if he can wake up, give him some water to drink, I have a ready-made magic circle here, you can get hot water when you connect it, remember, don't drink rainwater directly, that thing is very dirty." The white wolf casually drew a composite circle of water and fire, and while instructing Richard, he tested the effect of the circle.
The white wolf pressed a stone soaked in his own blood to the gap in the circle, and put the circle together, and the energy supply system inside it was automatically activated, and the elements in the space flowed in, and after the transformation of a set of systems, it automatically turned into a hundred degrees of boiling boiling water, gushing out from the wall.
"It's a little hot, let's lower the temperature for you. The white wolf made modifications to several places in the circle, reducing the output power of the fire elemental part, and tried again, but it still felt a little hot.
After debugging four times in a row, the water temperature finally dropped to a suitable range, which was probably the temperature when taking a hot bath, and the white wolf did not need to make boiling water, because the water resources generated by the water element circle were the purest, absolutely free of any impurities and germs, and did not need to be sterilized at high temperatures.
"Would you like to make another cup of water for you? The white wolf looked at Richard.
"No, no, I've already taken two cups from that village. Richard waved his hand, and then took out two wooden cups from the blistered sack, which was about to rot.
"It's worthy of an adventurer who takes this, presses it to the place I just pressed, and there will be hot water. The white wolf threw the stone stained with his own blood at Richard, and the other party caught it.
This stone is stained with the blood of the white wolf, as long as it is pressed in the corresponding place, it can automatically act as a bridge, bridge the break point inside the legal array, and let the magic circle operate normally, and its principle is still very simple.
After doing this, the white wolf turned around and walked out of the crypt, heading towards human territory in the pouring rain.
Richard waited for a long time, and found that the white wolf never turned back, and it seemed that he was really gone, and he couldn't help but look at Dory's compartment and felt his heart beat a little faster.
The priest of the Holy Light will not wake up for a while, so the current situation is that the lonely man and widow are in the same room, Richard suddenly had an unrealistic idea, that is, the white wolf will never come back, this priest will not wake up, he and Dori can be together all the time, no one can disturb them anymore, those slave traders can't, neither can the dogleg killers they hire, and
The white wolf left the crypt and left the matter of Richard and Dory behind, whatever they did had nothing to do with him, as long as he didn't die, he had to focus on the road.
When the white wolf was young, he once read a text called "Mountain Picker", and I don't know if this text is still in the textbook, in the text, the speed of the transport personnel carrying heavy loads is much faster than the speed of the light-burdened tourists, this is not only a matter of strength, but also a matter of concentration.
After more than 10 years of practice, the white wolf confirmed a truth, if the energy is completely concentrated on a certain thing, then the efficiency will be greatly improved, if you always want to think about the west, inattentive, then you will get twice the result with half the effort, the same is true for the road, if you can't hit the attention to the rush, the speed will definitely be much slower.
In the current situation, time is very precious, if the ghoul arrives at the human city before him, then his trip will be in vain, the white wolf does not intend to waste so much energy in vain, he hopes to use this opportunity to brush up on the favorability of humans, so that humans can trust him more, and lay a solid foundation for future cooperation or mutual harm.
After running for a while, the white wolf smelled a faint fishy smell, the ghoul group should be nearby, and following the smell, the white wolf found the trace of the ghoul group, they had already left, it seemed that it was indeed according to his previous conjecture, all the way north, to find human trouble.
"Looks like I'm not fast enough. The white wolf carefully observed the traces on the ground, confirmed the specific direction in which they were heading, and then chased after him, he had to hold on, the smell around here was getting lighter and lighter, it seemed that this group of ghouls had been gone for a long time.
The sky was dark, the rain was pouring down, the roads were muddy, and from time to time there would be a thunderbolt in the sky, igniting the trees on the hillside, and it didn't take long for it to be extinguished again by the heavy rain, and the white wolf was rushing in such weather, and gradually, he could feel that the ground in front of him was shaking, which was the vibration that can only be produced when a large number of creatures walked at the same time, and the fishy smell became stronger and stronger, and he had caught up with the group of ghouls!
The white wolf turned sideways and immediately turned, he had to go around the group of ghouls, take an arc, copy in front of them, and definitely not chase the tail.
With the help of the sense of smell, the white wolf can roughly judge the distance between himself and this group of ghouls, after the fishy smell has undergone a change from light to thick, and then lighter, the slight tremor of the ground has also become from his rear, and the white wolf knows that he has successfully overtaken in an arc, leaving them far behind him.
"It's so easy, I don't even feel it at all. The white wolf's face was not red or breathless, and he continued to run forward, and at his current speed, in another five or six hours, he would probably be able to see the human city.
According to the Bishop of Eagle City, since the outbreak of the Destruction Sect's catastrophe, the Empire has slowly transformed several towns in the southern border points into military towns, with a large number of border guards stationed in these towns, and if they can be notified in advance, and they can trust the White Wolves to merge a large number of troops in advance, then these ghouls should not be worried.
Of course, the white wolf can't go directly to the commander of the army, he must first find the local church, with the help of the news network of the Holy Light Church, and then inform the army of the news of the ghoul plague, of course, these people may not believe the white wolf, even if they don't believe it, the white wolf has nothing to lose, if he can leave a good reputation among humans, then the purpose of his trip has been achieved.
After two or three hours, the white wolf has already run out of the rainstorm area, the weather here is not sunny, it is very gloomy, and the south wind is blowing, the dark clouds in the sky are drifting towards the north, it is conceivable that after a while, it will also rain heavily.
The white wolf shook off the water on his body, and a trace of white gas floated up from his body, and he was steaming his hair at high temperature, and these water droplets turned into water vapor and atomized into small droplets, which produced such a beautiful white mist.
It didn't take long for the white mist to disappear, and the white wolf had dried the water from his body, and in front of him, he could see a winding river, which was the boundary between the extreme south and the southern provinces, and a small town appeared by the river, some people were farming on the banks of the river, some people were paddling rafts on the river, a peaceful scene, they were not aware of the impending danger.
If the white wolf hadn't come here, it was conceivable that what awaited this town would be a total annihilation, and on the route of the ghouls, it was this town that bore the brunt, it was not a military town, and the inhabitants inside did not have the ability to defend themselves in front of tens of thousands of ghouls.
Some people saw the white wolf from the south and immediately exclaimed, for these people, a creature like the white wolf is a monster in itself, and it is a huge threat to the town.
The white wolf didn't intend to wet his hair that had just been steamed, and with the help of the wind element, he jumped across the river in one go, which made the residents of the town next to him look dumbfounded, and at the same time caused even more panic in the crowd, and it didn't take long for a team of guards in armor to run out of the town and look at the white wolf vigilantly.
