Chapter 47: Jim

"Werewolves on the island?" the three of the team were surprised, and Tarrant should be glad he hadn't encountered those things last night. (Please remember me)

"Those wolf howls at night must be the language of werewolves, they take our food, they are so powerful that they can easily smash the wooden door with their hands, they tear open the dead blood ghosts, and gnaw their whole heads to pieces", as if he was used to that kind of scene, the village chief seemed to calm down.

"So, the werewolf talent is the main trouble for the island?"

"No, they were hostile to each other, and once there was a lone wolf, on the grass in front of the hut, drained of blood by a dozen vampires, and the body was gradually fading in the moonlight, and we saw the distorted face, the missing Night Patrol Villager...... We kept experiencing nightmares, but we couldn't imagine that the source of the nightmare was actually them, and then we suddenly realized that the people standing outside the door were once our relatives."

"Village chief, they're already dead, they're just beasts now" the young man's face was full of anger, "they treat us like food"

"Beast ......," the village chief repeated numbly, "they fight each other, this is their battlefield, the hut is only the victory of the war, we expect the security forces to come to our rescue, the day has finally come." ”

Tarrant looked at the faces of the villagers, emaciated, frightened, helpless, they were enduring endless torture, he needed to give them hope: "Everything will get better, let me think about it", he still has too many questions, he has to sort out the key.

"I have a question," Kiraviton preemptively asked, "what about the mages on your island?"

"Mage?" the old man looked at the priest suspiciously, "do you mean the mage who lives in the castle?"

"Could it be that there is a second mage on the island?"

The village chief replied: "He doesn't have much contact with us, and spends more time in the tower of the castle. ”

"Tower, how can you see that?" the priest was very interested in the subject.

"On a good night, we could see the light coming from the tower, but we haven't paid attention to the situation there since the accident. ”

"Why don't you ask for help from the mage, he's the most powerful man on the island", Kira Veton observed the expressions of the crowd.

"We had hoped for his advice and help, he knew a lot of things, but we knocked on the door for a long time and no one opened it, maybe...... He's already had an accident, living alone in an ancient castle, and werewolves and vampires can break into it very easily. ”

The priest smirked, "It seems you don't know this mage. ”

"Donna knows more about that mage than I do," the village chief looked back at a girl, "Donna, tell the adults about the situation there." She had served the aged knights there. ”

"Was the castle the first owner?" asked Tarrant.

"Yes, my lord", Donna stepped out of the crowd, she was a delicate child, no, Tarrant shouldn't have called her a child, she looked like she was about twenty-five years old, her appearance was less like the downfall of a fishing village, she had obviously seen more of the world, and had received some etiquette training.

"As far as I know, Sir died ten years ago, and Jim came to the castle three years ago, and they met?" Tarrant was puzzled.

"At first when the castle was built, Sir brought stewards and servants, and they died in forty years, and then the castle needed to be taken care of, and Sir didn't want to go to Wilsing to find someone, so he found two people from the village, me and Aimee, and I had only ...... at that time Eleven years old. ”

"Aimee, the second day of the first month of summer," Conasius said suddenly.

The villagers bowed their heads and fell silent for a moment, "She died of illness, that strange disease," said the village chief.

"Don't digress from the conversation, let's talk about the castle and the mage," Kiraweton interrupted.

"Yes, sir," the girl continued, "Sir is a rich man, and he spends all his savings on the castle, and he likes to stand on the top of the castle and look out over the canal, but he seldom moves, preferring to sit quietly. ”

"Start with useful information," the pastor snapped up.

"I'm sorry, sir", the girl's standard tone proves that the master she once served was from the city and had a certain status, "when we entered the castle, Sir was already seriously ill and his body was slowly weakening, and Jim had been taking care of him......"

"Wait, where a Jim jumps out, we're going to hear the story of Master Jim," the pastor reminded again.

The girl was uneducated, her statement lacked coherence, and her cheeks flushed slightly under Kiraviton's scolding, and Tarrant comforted, "From the moment you met Jim, what we need to know is Jim." ”

"I'm sorry, sir. Jim was already with Jazz when we entered the castle on our first day, and they didn't look alike", Donna was about to divert the topic when her eyes touched Kira Veton and immediately returned to the topic: "Usually Jim locks himself in a room, he doesn't like to go out just as much as Jazz, and occasionally we see all kinds of strange pictures when we go to clean the room. ”

"What kind of picture?" said the priest leaned over Donna.

"He drew monsters, people who looked like fish, monsters with wings, demons with black skin, I don't know what those were, and I couldn't breathe in that room. ”

Tarrant suddenly thought of a question, "Wait a minute, village chief, since you haven't even seen wolves here, why do you know to use silver against werewolves and vampires?"

"It's Donna's Jianyì. ”

"Yes, my lord," Donna nodded slightly, "I saw this in Jim's room. ”

"You've seen werewolves and vampires in Jim's room?" Tarrant picked up the clue.

"Yes, No, my lord, it's just a painting, once Aimee and I were cleaning Jim's room and saw a painting hanging on the wall, it was a werewolf and a vampire fighting together, like two people fighting, Aimee was very curious, she was always curious about the things in the castle, Jim told us, this is a race that has existed since the contract period, he seems to say so, werewolves will devour people's bodies, and vampires grab people's souls, he scared me, but Aimee was very excited and asked him to continue, so Jim said again, moonlight will help transform, moonlight is another continent, I don't know what he was talking about, but the more he talked, the more excited he became, he said that werewolves and vampires are two brothersThey were the same people, and he showed us other pictures, but I couldn't read them, they were skeletons, and I was almost scared to tears. ”

"Skeletons, what?" Tarrant remembered that Sheriff Wilsin had said that Jim was a summoner, probably a sorcery study like summoning skeletons.

"Like a human, but with four very long teeth, and its hands are long. ”

To put it this way...... It's a vampire's skeleton, Jim is studying a vampire, and Tarrant motions for Donna to continue.

Aimee was not afraid at all, she also pestered Jim to tell their stories, and Jim said that they were all human beings, and different bodies adapted to different changes, and they became those two things, and as soon as they appeared, someone would die, and the only way to deal with them was silver, and Aimee asked him why, and Jim said that everything on the continent was made up of different elements, and he said that our bodies were all the same, and it was so strange, and I asked, how could men and women be the same, but Jim did not answer, and he said that what changed werewolves and vampires was a special thing, and it provided to the body lì amount, and silver and this kind of thing would produce magic when touched togetherWerewolves and vampires will die if they lose their power, just as a flower will wither quickly if it loses its moisture. ”

"So you know to use silver against them?"

"Jim told us a lot about that time, and I was so scared that I kept remembering it. ”

"Does he tell you about that often?"

"No, my lord, he spends most of his time reading in his room, and there are a lot of old books on his wall, and he only stays at Sizz's bedside during the last part of his serious illness, and they seem to be in good shape. ”

"Is that so?" asked Kira Veton, "Donna, why did he kick you out?"

"We weren't kicked out, my lord", the girl defended the mage, "everything was taken back by the Empire after Sir died, and Jim didn't have the money to hire us." ”

Kira Veton took out the dragon wine, "Why hasn't the castle been reclaimed?"

"I saw a mage teleported to the castle, and Jim signed a piece of paper with him, and the man said, 'You can live here, you can live as long as you want,' and Jim has been living there ever since. ”

It sounds like a deal, the agreement was signed ten years ago, why did National Geographic and the sheriff say that the castle was sold three years ago, and what might have been hidden in seven years, Tarrant speculated.

"Oh?" said the priest, teasing Donna, "don't you have the money to hire them, and what do you want money for?"

Donna looked at the priest in embarrassment, "The village needs money. ”

"They're good children," the village chief took over.

"Aimee is a vicious ......," the young man cursed quickly.

The village chief patted the young man's hand to stop him, "The village occasionally needs things like wine and fruit, and we will exchange fish for the town, and Donna and Aimee's money will be exchanged for food." ”

Kiraweton continued, "In that case, Jim needs ...... too"

"That's enough", Tarrant interrupted Kira Veton's questioning, her tone as if she was interrogating a criminal, the villagers needed security assurance and not questioning at the moment, and he nodded approvingly to Donna, "Is there anything special going on in the meantime?"

The girl shook her head slightly.

Now we had to sort things out, Tarrant was nibbling on the fishy dried fish, damn it, he had seen the worst food on the red rocks, the emerald cakes, the Watt Town innkeeper's cream cakes, the stinky dried fish from Gilu Island, and he tore open a small piece and tried to swallow it directly.

The trouble in the village is werewolves and vampires, Tarrant thought of that strange disease, and the buried people ran out of it, they must have undergone a change, such as that Gloria, she became a vampire, "Village Chief, what is the situation with Gloria?"

The village chief was slightly surprised, "Was she the one who attacked you last night?"

"There's a woman leading them, including her," Tarrant vividly remembered the monster that had stood less than an inch away from him.

"Yes...... A woman, she is Amee, she is completely changed, and so is Gloria, they both died of strange diseases, Gloria is weak, and she ended her young life in just one day. ”

"Speaking of Gloria," Tarrant remembered the young man Albert, "last night in the woods outside the hut we found a young man, he was very wolf, but asked us to bring a message to Gloria, why didn't he hide in the house?"

"Are you ......?" the village chief was at a loss.

"His name is Albert. ”

Albert ...... That poor child, he is a good werewolf. ”
