Chapter 10: The Moonlight Curse

"Our essence is human, and their essence is wolves!" said Chief Snoun again, his expression even more agitated. At this time, the middle-aged man from before handed over the water, and the village chief of Snorn took a sip of water, pondered for a while, and then continued to speak slowly.

"Humans and wolves disguised as humans have infiltrated the human world, and people can't usually tell them apart. And on the night of the full moon, they will revert to their original form and gain great power to prey on the unsuspecting humans. Gradually, legends about this transforming monster spread in the human world, and the secret of the human wolf was finally discovered by humans. Witchers of mages, hunters, assassins, and others set out to hunt and hunt down these predators in the dark, and the two sides became mortal enemies. ”

"But the appearance of human wolves is the most affected by our werewolf clan. Transformed into the same as on a moonlit night, the same as a wolf, and the others soon began to mix us with the human-wolves, treating us as the same monsters, and no matter how we explained it, many of our people were innocently injured and killed in the war between the witchers and the human-wolves. ”

"But it doesn't seem like a big deal. Until one day, several countries around Homs suddenly united and launched a war against Homs, and the reason for the war was: You are all monsters! Blood-devouring half-man, half-wolf monsters! So you must be destroyed! Driven by fear, greed, and **, an unfortunate war befell the werewolves. No amount of begging, explanation, or tribute could convince the enemy in front of him, and Homs certainly could not withstand such a powerful attack, and the city eventually fell. ”

"The people of the city were slaughtered bloodily, both those who were cursed and those who were not. But what those invaders didn't expect was that their plot to occupy the land ultimately failed, because the curse of the orc wizards has always existed, and all the humans who come here are likely to be cursed, including those invaders. New werewolves kept appearing, and when night fell and the moon rose, the army began to kill each other, and the living were forced to flee the cursed place, and Legia and Homs soon became a barren land that no one dared to approach. ”

"Only a handful of werewolves have survived, and having lost their only home, our ancestors have been forced to flee their homeland and wander around hiding their identities. But because of the evil deeds of those centaurs, the witchers, mercenaries, and armies have not stopped hunting us for a day, and even ordinary people will kill us without hesitation when they find out who we are, and fear and hatred will not even give us a chance to say a word - we have even become accustomed to such treatment and attitude. ”

"Although we don't want to die, the world doesn't seem to have room for us. So, today when I hear what you, the respected magician, say from you, Miss Linya, I feel a little strange. It's true, thousands of years have passed, but it seems that no one has ever seen us that way. You are such a powerful magician that you can easily kill us monsters, but you have chosen to help us. It's still hard for me to believe. Snow let out a long sigh and looked up at Linya.

Linya, who was listening to the story and eating the tree nuts with relish, suddenly noticed that everyone's eyes were focused on her again. Uh, well, these nuts taste amazing, and of course it's probably because they haven't eaten a snack in days, so don't they look a little unladylike?

"Ahem, I don't know why I think that...... When my sister and I came to ask for help during the day, if we didn't get your help and were driven away, I might have killed you if I found out that you were monsters and werewolves, which is a kind of instinctive reaction to the fear of the unknown. But what happened here during the day made me think differently. I found out that you are all good-natured people, so surely it is not voluntary for you to become beasts that have lost their nature. I don't think there's any reason for me to kill a good and good person, but if there's anything I can do to lift the curse and make you become normal people again, that would be the best outcome, right?" Linya thought for a moment. In fact, she really didn't think carefully about why she did that, and now she said this, as if she had thought so in her heart...... bar.

"Lift the curse...... Chief Snoun shook his head and smiled bitterly, "We've been looking for a way to lift the curse since we first got cursed, but we've never succeeded. However, with the passage of time and the efforts of the mages, we have gradually weakened the effect of this curse. It is said that in the beginning, we werewolves would turn into wolves at night when the moon rose, but gradually we only transformed on the night of the full moon and the full moon, and did not transform when there was no moonlight. ”

"Three hundred years ago, our ancestors escaped the witchers and came to Abella on a merchant ship from Grecia bound for Arbela, where they found this oasis and settled in the desert. As Legia gets farther and more time passes, the curse we have been under seems to be waning, and the impulse of the pre-transformation is disappearing. Over the years, our people have sometimes even been able to do without transformation on full moon nights, but not all. Things seem to be moving in a good direction. ”

What does this mean, is it not Grecia but a place called Abela?

"Miss Linya, you may not know, but I'm actually a druid, the kind of orc that can summon beasts and transform from human form to beast form, probably because of the magical influence of the curse. Even after the transformation, I can retain some sanity, and at the same time, I am also the leader of the wolf pack, so even if some people are transformed, I can control them as the leader of the wolf pack and prevent them from harming others. But I don't know why, since the other day, we suddenly felt a strong sense of irritability, and the curse power of the orc shaman seems to have suddenly strengthened, which may be the reason for the increased moonlight magic of this blood moon cursed by the dark power. The night before, many people had been transformed, and I hurriedly left the village with them, and wandered around in the desert waiting for dawn. I met you and your sister in that situation last night. ”

"But I don't know why, tonight, I suddenly lost my strength, I couldn't transform, and of course I couldn't control the transformed wolves. Without the control of the leader, they ran back to the village, and I hurriedly gathered the villagers to the ancestral ancestral hall, but it was still too late. ”

Well, this long story is finally over. Linya asked eagerly, "I understand, village chief." Actually, I have a question, isn't this Georgia? What is this place?"

Chief Snoen glanced at Linya a little strangely, he really didn't expect that the first question of this magician girl was actually this, it had nothing to do with the werewolf history he had been talking about for a long time! "This is not the Gresia continent, but a large island in the far east of the Grecia continent called Abela. Sailing from Abella to Grecia takes at least a month. ”

Linya's heart was about to break. Nima, this damn Rosie, she actually threw herself to such a hellish place! Is it really the end of the world, on the other side of the Violet Continent, on the other side of the planet...... Although it is confirmed that this place is still a little comforting on Noah's planet, it is also a devastating fact that it is so far away. Will I be able to return to my parents alive?

"Okay, I get it. What's the matter with the blood-colored moon with long red eyes?" asked Linya, a little absent-mindedly.

"We don't know, but it's probably the result of some powerful dark magic, and it's said that this happened a long, long time ago. Legend has it that the moon goddess is already dead, so there is no way for the moon to become like this. ”

What? The Moon Goddess is already dead? Although he knew that he was just a fake moonlight goddess, he couldn't help but be a little surprised when he heard such a statement for the first time. The brain is a bit messy.

"Actually, there's something else I want to say...... Miss Linya, when I came back last night I thought I was dizzy, how could I have seen a man with wings!, but seeing you today, I have to believe that this is not an illusion, it is all true. When we met you, we were in a very violent mood, and it was hard to resist the wild impulse, which is why we attacked you at that time. But I don't know why, after hearing your singing, our emotions calmed down all of a sudden, and there was no urge to eat blood at all. ”

"And I was surprised to find that the people who went out with us last night didn't even transform tonight, and the restlessness hidden in the blood was completely gone!

The villagers knelt down one after another, their eyes full of anticipation. This time Linya didn't go up to help or stop anything. If this curse is really related to the magic of the moonlight, I should help them anyway, whether my moon goddess is real or not.

I used to want to sing, but it was just a momentary impulse, a kind of self-expression, and vanity. She never imagined that her singing voice would really have such magical power, and if her singing could really lift the curse they had received, what was the effort?

Thinking of this, Linya nodded slightly. "I see. I'm honored to be able to help you all. ”
