Chapter 455: The Attacker

Turbidity Town, there are no good memories for cheese here. It was here that he spied on the abnormal side of the entire rat-man plague and uncovered a corner of the great conspiracy. It was here that he was first forced to use another force in his body at the apothecary's station, which was uncontrollable until it was limited by the invisible chains on his body. This also means that since then, Cheese's journey has been no longer a leisurely investigation, but a race to solve puzzles.

"This fire is really burning. Lothar looked at the toppled building in front of her and said with a bit of teasing.

It was once the headquarters of the Greylion's Apothecary Guild in Turbidity, but long before Cheese left, unknown arsonists had destroyed it along with the replaced Baron. He even almost killed the mage and others who came here to look for clues in one fell swoop. Cheese passed through Turbidity Town on his way north this time and came back here on purpose, hoping to find some clues that he had overlooked, and get as many fragments of the puzzle as possible called the Truth.

It's just that when he actually stood in front of the wreckage, he realized that what he was looking for probably didn't exist here. "It's so badly damaged. The mage said, casually lifting a wooden bar, revealing the black ground beneath and the traces of the nezumi's footprints. Obviously, when a large number of proto-nezumi broke out of the defense line, they unconsciously destroyed this place again, and even if there were any clues left in the ruins of the previous fire, it was now difficult to find.

Just when Cheese was disappointed, Jack walked back from the nearby street. He shrugged his nose, as if to sniff something in the air. "I said, have you noticed..."

"It's a cursed crow. He's been here before, and he's deliberately left his magic signal. The mage nodded, he knew what the Wolfwalker was going to say.

Jack frowned, "But that's not what I'm going to say, I smell a familiar smell around here." It seems that the witches we met in the royal capital have also been here. ”

"Oh?" Cheese raised an eyebrow, he could sense the magic remaining in the air around him, but he couldn't guess the past by smell like werewolves do. If the witch did stay in Turbidity and didn't cast a spell, he really wouldn't know about it. "How many?

Jack was silent for a moment, his perception was not so strong in the case of a humanoid. "Two, at least two. A new one, probably just left for no more than a day, and the other one has faded a lot. Do you need me to confirm the transformation?"

"No need. Not at the moment. "The mage doesn't want the transformation of the werewolves to disturb some who haven't noticed them yet. If Jack can know the witches' whereabouts through non-magical means, there's no guarantee that someone will be able to track them through the Wolfwalkers' traits. After all, at present, there is only one active werewolf in the entire Grey Lion territory, Jack.

"What's wrong with you?" the mercenary nudged Lothar, the Count of Montenegro's expression was not quite right since Jack had mentioned the topic of witches just now.

"Nothing. Lothar shook her head and pushed out of her mind the shadow of Qili in the heavy rain of the royal capital. He subconsciously put his hand on the handle of the tomahawk at his waist, hoping that the witch-hunting knife that had helped him see through the illusion of a witch would once again protect his mind.

Suddenly, Cheese jerked to his feet, and he raised his hand to look at the ring of thorns, from which a little bit of blood was oozing. "Wagon! ”

The group's carriage did not drive into Turbidity Town. For one, the ruins and heavy dead air of Turbidity Town are not suitable for horses and vehicles. Second, since Cheese and Elsa quarreled at Castle Peak, the two of them rarely communicated along the way, and this time she went into the town to explore and asked to stay in the guard carriage. For the sake of safety, and for the sake of human feelings, Mona and Colendy did not enter the turbidity current together.

Now there was a signal from the ring that was connected to Colandy, and Cheese and the others hurried towards the outside of town. "Jack!" the mage shouted to his companion, who nodded, and instead of using his feet, he ran on all fours, as animal hair began to grow on his body, and in a matter of seconds, a half-wolf, half-human creature had left the others far behind and disappeared behind the cover of the building.

Seeing that the wolfwalker had run away, Cheese's heart was slightly relieved, the werewolf's great strength and immunity to magic made them more than enough to deal with most enemies. Jack's arrival will definitely alleviate the danger encountered by Kolanty and the others. Sure enough, after a few moments, the thorns in his hands relaxed, and Kolandi no longer seemed to be in a fighting state.

When Cheese, Lothar, and Networm ran out of Turbidity Town one after another, what appeared in front of them was a different scene. I saw a naked man with a strange red tattoo standing on the carriage, holding a long sword, the tip of which was pressed against Kolanty's throat, and if he sent it one more inch, the witch would die in an instant. On the other side, Jack, who was half wolf and half human, was also holding a girl in her hand, she had long green hair, due to the strong height of the wolfwalker, the girl's feet were off the ground, and she could only use her hands to support Jack's claws around her neck, in order to fight for the thin air.

Mona and Elsa's weapons were unsheathed, but they were caught between the Demon and the Wolfwalkers, and since both had hostages in their hands, they didn't dare to act rashly. Not far from them, a dwarf mouse man with a dagger in his hand was looking at Jack with a weapon, as if he would rush forward without hesitation at the first opportunity.

"Hell, how can there be a child of the devil here. Are you in the same league as those guys in the royal capital?" the mage recognized the meaning of the tattoo on Clarus's body at a glance, and he paused and cursed in a low voice. It turned out that the ring was quiet not because the battle was over, but because Kolandi was controlled by the other party and had no way to cast spells.

"Are there any reinforcements? Clarus also noticed the three people rushing out of the rubble, and his first reaction was that there might be some trouble now. The three of them had been aware of Kolanty's existence from afar, and neither Clarus nor Peg were worse than werewolves in terms of perceiving magic. After confirming that the witch was not Kiri he knew, and that Peg knew nothing about it, Krus decided to sneak up on the other party and contain her in order to find out where she came from.

The killer's plan was executed smoothly, and with his ability to stealth, the battle was quickly over. Although there are two female warriors on the other side, when the witches are controlled, they are worth throwing a mouse. But that's when things happened, wolfwalkers, damn it, how could there be wolfwalkers here?Clarus never expected to meet such a difficult guy here, and Peg didn't expect it. So, the scene became the way it is now, with each side holding each other's witches hostage and confronting each other until Cheese and the others arrive.

"Cheese, this guy has been seen in the royal capital!" Jack shouted to the mage, pointing to the hostage in his hand. The Wolfwalker's sense of smell led him to recognize Peg's identity.

"Cheese, am I the nameβ€”" Clarus also heard the werewolf's voice, he seemed to have some impression of the name, but he couldn't remember where he had heard it. Confused, the Demon Spawn turned to look at Cheese, hoping to find some inspiration from him. Then, he saw the iconic gray robe.

"I see. Then he remembered where he had heard the name, and it was clearly the name of the same sect that the crow had mentioned.
