Chapter 75: Wolf Poison Elixir and Aconite Herb
If it was just a beast committing the crime, even if the beast was bigger and more ferocious, in Al's opinion, it would not be a match for the hunters in Linshan Town, and sooner or later it would be hunted and killed.
But if it's a werewolf who does the crime this time, then things are really troublesome.
Werewolves and vampires have a similar class composition, and those who are equivalent to formal wizards are called wolf clans, but they are real werewolves, and they also have the ability to turn those they have caught and bitten into wolf slaves, while wolf slaves of the same rank as vampire blood slaves do not have this ability.
According to Al's knowledge of werewolves, although the wolf clan is usually brutal, it is completely different from the beasts.
In other words, the real wolf clan will not do things like drinking blood, but as a low-level werewolf who is a wolf slave, the beast nature in the body exceeds the human nature, and things like preying on humans often happen.
Of course, it doesn't mean that all wolf clans don't eat people, just like humans have their own hobbies for food, wolf clans also have their own preferences for food, naturally some wolf clans love to eat people, but it definitely won't be like the three murderous incidents that happened in Linshan Town this time, eating like wild beasts, as if they only had the desire to eat.
It didn't take long for Al to roughly determine the target of the crime, but Al didn't say it directly, but after jumping off the wall, he pulled Xiulan aside and whispered.
Listening to Al's words, Xiulan's face gradually became solemn.
In the past few years when he went out to join the army with John, Xiulan has also seen a lot of fierce existences, among which he participated in the siege and killing of a litter of wolf slave-level werewolves, the scene at that time was extremely bloody and chaotic, Rao is a battle-hardened person like Xiulan, and he is not willing to recall the scene at all.
After a silence, Xiulan looked at Al and said in a low voice: "Al, don't make a noise about this matter first, I'll go and talk to Old John about this matter first, if that werewolf stays in the mayor of Linshan Town, then we are bound to clash with him head-on, and in this way, the power of our Grant Manor must be mobilized!"
Looking at Xiulan with a solemn face, Al nodded and said, "Uncle Xiulan, go and tell your father, if there is a bloodline knight guarding Linshan Town, a wolf-slave-level werewolf can't make any waves." ”
After speaking, Xiulan helped the long sword at his waist and led the two soldiers towards Grant Manor.
Before leaving, Xiu Lan simply instructed the guard chief and left directly.
Al didn't care much about what Xiulan and the chief guard said, because Al was now completely focused on how to find the werewolf.
If it were in another town, Al might still stand by and watch, but Linshan Town is the town where Al has lived since he first came to this world, and he already has a deep affection for this town, and this is like Al's hometown in this world, and it can't be damaged in the slightest!
Al hurried back to his hunter's hut in three steps and two steps, and he took out all the information he had to find what he could use.
Finally, Al found a piece of information on the basic information that he had exchanged for a 'healing potion', and the things recorded on this information were of little use to the wolf clan, but they had a miraculous effect on the wolf slaves.
It's called 'Wolf Poison Elixir'!
This 'wolf poison potion' is a potion made of aconite grass as the main ingredient, this potion is not only a strange poison for wolf slaves that can gradually make them lose their strength, but also can change within a certain range of encountering werewolves, from the original bright purple to pure blue.
For Al, this is exactly the two parts of his need that he needs most, which is to identify the werewolf in human form and find a way to restrain the werewolf!
Taking out the information, Al looked at the potion materials recorded on it one by one, and after reading it, Al finally breathed a sigh of relief, although the materials recorded on it are rare, but it is definitely not impossible to find, at least for Linshan Town, which is famous for producing drugs, these drugs can still be found!
However, the production of this drug must involve witchcraft, so it directly restricts Al from being able to distribute these drugs widely, or even allowing Al to use them alone.
There are hundreds of drug transactions in Linshan Town every day, large and small.
As a result, Al disguised himself and bought the drugs he needed went unnoticed.
It's just that the purchase of aconite, the main ingredient of the 'wolf poison potion', made it a little difficult for El.
This aconite grass is produced on the Snakeback Mountain, but it is quite rare, but because of its strong toxicity, it is basically not used as a medicinal material, so the price has never been high, and correspondingly, there are only one or two medicine pickers who sell aconite grass in Linshan Town, and what makes Al a little helpless is that the two medicine pickers who sell aconite grass Al has not found it for a long time.
After thinking about it, Al finally sighed and went to Howard Sr.'s library to find Howard Sr. who was napping.
"Old Howard, you are really leisurely, there are large beasts hidden in Linshan Town, you are so relieved to nap, not afraid to wake up and find yourself in the belly of the beast?"
After Al finished speaking, Old Howard did not open his eyes immediately, but closed his eyes and replied directly: "My old man has half a foot in the ground, and it doesn't matter if he dies or not."
But this time this thing in Linshan Town is really a big beast, I don't think so. ”
When the words fell, old Howard also opened his eyes, he looked at Al and smiled a little bit, and then said in a low voice: "Okay, although my old fellow is suspicious, there is no evidence, and I don't know what that thing is, to get back to business, you should have something to do with me." ”
Al looked at Old Howard and thought about it, but still didn't tell him the news of the werewolf, after all, Old Howard was already very old, and if he was frightened, it was not what Al wanted to see.
So Al thought about it for a while, and then said directly: "I want to buy aconite grass, but I can't find a medicine picker who sells aconite grass, I came here to ask old Howard to see if you have any news." ”
Al's words were light-hearted, like a trivial matter.
But these words made old Howard's expression change greatly, and the whole person became inexplicably nervous!
I saw that old Howard thought for a moment, sighed, and said: "Little Al, don't hide it from me, tell me, do you already know the true identity of the thing in our Linshan Town this time, that thing...... Isn't that a werewolf?"
This time it was Al's turn to be surprised, he looked at Old Howard, and said with some hesitation: "Old Howard...... How the hell do you know that thing is a werewolf? ”
Al's words undoubtedly helped old Howard confirm his suspicions.
I saw old Howard sigh solemnly and said, "If you hadn't told me that you wanted to find aconite grass, I really wouldn't have thought of the problem of werewolves."
Do you know why aconite grass is almost useless, but our Linshan town has always produced it, although the quantity is scarce, but it has never been interrupted, and the reason is that the greatest use of this aconite grass is to poison werewolves!
There is the Demon Hunter Guild in our Holy Sword Empire, which is the only large-scale professional guild that has been jointly recognized and funded by the Holy Sword Empire and the Church of the Lord of Billions of Radiance.
Ordinary people may not be aware of the existence of this guild, but as long as they are a little knowledgeable, or those in high positions, they will not be unfamiliar with this guild.
Because this Demon Hunter Guild is a guild that specializes in hunting dark creatures and near-dark transcendent creatures, and the aconite grass produced in our Linshan Town was secretly bought by the people of the Demon Hunter Guild.
You know, werewolves and vampires are the two most abundant and rampant races of dark creatures, so the items for these two races are essential items for the Witcher's Guild. ”
After saying this, Old Howard was silent for a while, and no longer mentioned what he said about the Demon Hunter Guild before, but said directly to Al: "Recently, the people from the Demon Hunter Guild have come to secretly take away the aconite grass, and I am not sure if the two herb pickers who provided the aconite grass still have it in their hands, but according to my understanding of one of the herb pickers, there is an eighty percent chance that he may have some aconite grass in his hands as a press box goods."
After all, they have a long-term contract with the people of the Witcher's Guild, and they must provide a fixed amount of aconite grass above the standard amount every month, otherwise they will be punished with a certain amount of money.
Therefore, the person habitually left some aconite grass at home, preparing to increase the quantity when he was unlucky and did not pick enough aconite grass. ”
As he spoke, Howard Sr. put on his coat and, after closing the door of his small bookstore, led Al towards a house on the edge of Linshan Town.
Turning left and right, old Howard led Al to a rather shabby-looking stone house.
I saw old Howard knock on the door of the stone house, and then without waiting for the people inside to open the door, he directly pushed open the door and walked in, seeing this, Al also followed old Howard and walked in.
Walking into the hall of this stone house, old Howard directly found a chair and sat down.
Al looked at it and tried to find a place to sit with Howard Sr., but at that moment, the hunter's instincts made Al feel that something was wrong.
A faint tingling sensation came from the center of his eyebrows, and then the hairs on Al's back stood on end.
At the same time, an old man with a count of healing claw marks on his face, blind in one eye, and a broken arm, with a crossbow in one hand, walked out of the corner of the room.
