Chapter 22: The Fog Grows
"Teacher, is this wolf and the crow the same origin?" Dawn saw that the wolf had been restrained, and his heart relaxed. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
"The Dead Raven is of Celtic origin and is the pet of the goddess Morigan. This kind of wolf comes from the northern country, our technology is not mature, compared to the northern country, it is just a beast of burden. Lorraine frowned and said, "It's just that the intelligence of this guy in front of me is not quite right, and it seems that he has undergone some kind of transformation and has become a lot smarter." There is no sign of the council, and it seems that it is inseparable from the existence in the forest!"
"What do we do now?" Dawn was a little worried. The other party obviously didn't want the two to leave, and the longer it dragged on, the more unfavorable the situation became.
"It's weird everywhere here, and even the flute sound inside the council will be mastered by the other party, which is a big problem!" Lorraine was also helpless, from the beginning of his appearance in the forest, all his actions were clear to the other party. But until now, I still don't know anything about the other party.
"Isn't there any other way to get the message across?"
"The space is disrupted, unless the council is looking at it. Otherwise, there is no way to use any means of communication......" Lorraine said as she carefully gathered away her vine magic. The tightly bound giant wolf let out a heart-rending roar, and gradually lost its breath.
"Strange, it seems to be much weaker than it looks. Lorraine couldn't help but feel sad, he was very curious about the mutated giant wolf, and wanted to turn it into research material as completely as possible.
"Be careful, this thing is disguised!" Bai Ze's voice came faintly. "It's so much smarter than I thought I could be, and I almost lost my eyes. This is not the product of some experiment with the construction of ancient flesh elementals, although the techniques are somewhat similar. But the main body of it seems to be ......"
"Ah...... Woo......" A rough wolf roared, and the giant wolf who faked his death stepped forward violently. Caught off guard, the druids inadvertently broke the vines' bindings. The giant wolf came out of the trap, and knew that the two people in front of him could not deal with it by themselves, so he turned around and was about to flee to the depths of the dense forest.
"Bang ......" was calculated or not, and after listening to Bai Ze's instructions, Chenxi, who had been prepared, accurately hit the giant wolf's left eye with one shot. The imbalance of the line of sight caused the giant wolf to run directly into the trunk of the tree. The somewhat annoyed druids didn't say a word, stretched out their rough and dirty right hand and shook it gently, and the vines that had not yet dissipated twisted into a sharp cone, stabbing the overturned giant wolf directly through it, and black blood as asphalt spurted out, and there was a rancid smell in the viscosity.
The so-called wolf nature, whether cunning or ferocious, can be described as a variety of opinions. But now Dawn understands that maybe the latter has the upper hand. The injuries were so severe that escaping became an extravagant hope, which in turn inspired the ferocity of the giant wolf. Without the ties of those little cleverness and calculations, the combat power of the giant wolf has risen to a higher level. It seems that Bai Ze's judgment of it at the beginning was not wrong, this beast itself has no lack of strength to fight with the two of them, but its own cleverness has nothing to hide under Bai Ze's glances, but it restricts its own play.
The wolf seemed to know the old Lorraine's spells very well, and he had been entangled with the druid for a while, but that was all. It is said that the wolf is a creature with a copper head and an iron tail and a tofu waist, and the puncture blow of the vine almost broke its lumbar vertebrae, and without the strength of the waist, it is equivalent to a complete loss of dexterity for all spine creatures. Such a fixed target is placed in front of a mage, and there is no need to even think about the end.
"Wouldn't this be too cruel!" Dawn looked at the scattered wolf corpses in front of him, and couldn't help muttering in his heart, he didn't have the courage to say this. The old druid, who had been teased three times by what he considered a "brute" in terms of intelligence, was now in a state of complete rampage. The so-called can't wait to break the corpse must be a true portrayal in front of you.
"You think I want this thing to blow itself up in the end!" the Lorraine man seemed to understand Chenxi's thoughts, and couldn't help but glance at him. "Luckily, if this thing pounced so fiercely in the morning, I can't say that we would have to hang some color. ”
Dawn twice discovered the wolf's intentions in advance, which made Lorraine inevitably pay some attention to him, and he didn't treat him as a junior between words. The old druid breathed a sigh of relief, and carefully collected the wolf's corpse, not wanting to let go of the slightest. With such a toss, time has already slipped away inadvertently, and the sky has become dark. The dense forest, which was already not very well lit, was even more unpredictable, and the two had no better way but to return to the tree house temporarily.
Lorraine relieved himself to hand over the crucible that he hadn't washed for many years to Dawn to cook, while he carefully studied the somewhat terrifying body of the wolf. Because of the preparation for the trial, Lorraine's magical backpack had plenty of food. After Dawn cooked the dried mushroom soup, she stood behind Lorraine with great interest and watched him dissect it.
Because it involves the issue of wisdom, Lorraine's first move is the wolf's head. The giant wolf skull, which was originally as hard as iron, was easily dismantled like a building block under the dexterous operation of the old druid, and according to Bai Ze's words, it would not have been possible without decades of effort. When the brains of the giant wolf that were cranioped were displayed in front of the two of them, Lorraine's well-informed couldn't help but gasp. Dawn looked at this more human-like brain, feeling a little frightened and disgusted.
"Sure enough, the experimental ontology used for this thing is the human race!" Bai Ze, who had been watching with the help of the perception of the morning light, sighed softly. "The experiment of injecting beast genes into human bodies to uncover the secrets of flesh and blood was all the rage in ancient times. However, with the rise of the Terrans, and the fact that this experiment was not very effective, it has long been abolished. It can be seen that this kind of experiment took place after the Middle Ages. ”
Dawn was a little angry, but she didn't say anything. The miserable living conditions of the ancient human race sometimes make people sad just thinking about it.
"Is this a werewolf? It doesn't seem to be the same as the image in the legend!" Calming down, Dawn decided to settle the matter at hand first.
"Werewolf, I haven't heard of this kind of monster!" Bai Ze thought for a moment and said with certainty. The time of the rise of the Kyushu human race is relatively early in the world, and this kind of bloody and cruel transformation experiment ended earlier in history.
"Werewolves are monsters that originated in medieval Christian domination, and are one of the more famous evil creatures established by Christianity. It has a wide distribution area, and it is usually a human, but when it encounters a full moon, it will turn into a wolf, and it is very aggressive. I always thought it was a misconception about rabies in the Middle Ages. Now it seems that there is something else going on. "Dawn tries to return this monster to its true state that has not been processed by modern literary and artistic works.
"Full moon transformation?" Bai Ze pondered for a moment. "Then the effect of gravity is more obvious and unstable. It seems that this kind of experiment is not perfect, but the ability to change forms at least shows that it is different from the ancient half-orc experiments. To a certain extent, this can be regarded as an expansion and extension of ancient technology. Since its origins are in the Christian region, it seems that this religion continued to be studied in this area after the Middle Ages. ”
Dawn thought of the series of accounts of early Christianity in the Dead Sea Papers, and couldn't help but feel a little gloomy. He now has no good feelings for this religion that has historically been full of benevolence and morality, but in fact has killed boundlessly.
"This is no longer a simple beast soldier technique, it seems that there are some shadows of the Vatican, could it be that those birdmen are also mixed in?" Even without Bai Ze's help, Lorraine could see that the problem was wrong based on his own experience alone, but he was still very confused. "The peace agreement has just been signed, and the other side should not be so unwise. ”
"Peace agreement?" Dawn asked.
"In response to the end of the French era, the existing large religious powers have signed non-aggression pacties. I don't have much affection for those hypocritical birdmen, but in my experience, they shouldn't make such a move!" Lorraine said seriously. "Historically, though, the Black Forest region has been in turmoil as a grey area bordering many religions. But the current Vatican Holy See has neither the time nor the energy to take care of it, and it is too much to lose!"
"Bang...... Bang...... A series of knocks on the door interrupted their musings, and Dawn and Lorraine glanced at each other warily.
"I've set up the Council's detection magic outside, and it's not happening at all. You really can't be lazy with this kind of thing!" Lorraine said with some exasperation, it seems that these mass-produced magic items are really a little unreliable.
Chenxi shrugged helplessly, and was blocked by someone knocking on the door to know that the two of them were thick enough. Even with Bai Ze's assistance, this kind of adventurous mentality is completely undesirable.
Dawn pulled out the Messiah and walked to the door, while Lorraine cast a small spell to cover up the traces of the dissection, and then hid herself in the shadows.
The forest in the middle of the night is a hundred times more dangerous than in the daytime, and whether it is a crow or a giant wolf, it is undoubtedly easier to play in this environment. But Chenxi never expected that it was a tall Western woman who opened the door and fell in.
In order to prevent a sneak attack, Dawn stood far away and opened the door. The consequence of this is that the woman who fell in was directly caught off guard and fell to the ground. With a muffled sound of pain, the cold and damp evening breeze in the forest blew in with a smell of blood. After glancing outside, there was no one else to find, and Dawn hurriedly closed the door, so that she could pay attention to the strange woman lying at her feet. He was dressed in a tight night-like outfit with something camouflage painted on his face. Even so, you can see a good look, but the constant blood from the mouth makes everything look not so good.
"It's the Jungle Ranger of the Council, how could he be in this place!" Old Lorraine stepped out of the shadows, his face surprised.
