After Antoine left, the room returned to tranquility. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info It wasn't until night fell, and smoke was lit everywhere in the city, and the closed doors were opened.

After a few knocks, Anthony pushed open the door in front of him. The moment he walked in, his eyes glanced at the white number plate on the door: "Chief Office of the Ministry of Science and Technology". It made him feel glaring. Whether it is the white shell or the neat black letters on the top, but there is no brushwork, they are out of step with the classical luxury of the surroundings - like a green-headed fly landing on a delicate pastry.

But Anthony was speechless about it, because it was hung up by his own hands.

"Your Lord's interest is truly unique. ”

This man with an iceberg-like temperament suddenly had a somewhat strange mood. But he quickly diverted his attention. After opening the door, Anthony looked at the old man directly opposite him and bowed deeply, "Chief, I have something important to report to you." ”

"Anthony, didn't I tell you? When no one is in private, just call me teacher. I can't stand such a look. Benson put down the scroll in his hand, and his face became serious, "What is it worth your special trip?"

His relationship with Anthony is not ordinary. To be sure, he was Anthony's unofficial teacher and had mentored the middle-aged man for a long time in the past.

"Understood, teacher. Anthony looked down again, "Bert, Bill, Bing, they have a special discovery, the Winter Wolf is back......"

"What?!" said Old Man Benson, "Winter Wolf, are you not mistaken? How can these brutes be in winter?"

"They found the carcass of a winter wolf to use as evidence. Anthony added solemnly, "I heard Bert say that he was actually aware of it half a month ago......

"Half a month ago?, why didn't you say it until now!" Old Man Benson patted the table, "You bring him quickly, I'm going to ask him a few words." In addition, the wolf must be brought in, and its condition must be examined in detail. This is not a trivial matter, maybe there will be a big mess soon, and there are still two and a half months left this winter!"

"Yes. ”

Seeing Anthony bow back, Old Man Benson sat back in his chair with velvet cushions. But the soft feeling coming from under his ass made him particularly irritable.

"Damn, I'll tear you down sooner or later!" his whole face was a little blue, and the real object of his anger was naturally not this chair.

Old Benson was furious. I didn't expect that on the first day of my tenure as chief, there would be such a big deal to deal with. Especially the sentence 'half a month ago', which made him feel like he couldn't raise his head. What happened half a month ago has not been said until now, but it is such an important time as the first day of the establishment of the Science and Technology Bureau. Undoubtedly, it reflects many of the shortcomings of his profession in the past - in addition to hunting, hunters are also responsible for informing the movements of various beasts inside and outside their territory. And his identification with his identity as a hunter is even greater than that of a "dragon slayer".

After a while.

"Bert, when did you find it?" the old man stared at the short man beside him, "You want to say it!"

As he spoke, he was half-crouching on the ground, constantly looking over the wounds on the abdomen and back of the beast in front of him.

In front of the old man Benson, there was a huge wolf with a frightening size, with fangs in its mouth that could be twenty centimeters, and its huge size could be the size of an adult bull. The wolf's entire body is snow-white, except for the slightly gray hair on its back near its tail. It still had a gray cloth underneath it to prevent clumps of blood ash from reaching the ground.

"Teacher—oh, no, Chief. I found this wolf yesterday, and if you ask Bill and Bing, they can both testify for me. Bert saw the old man Benson raise his gray eyebrows, and suddenly fell silent, "Yesterday the two of them went to the mountain pass with me. While we were making a fire in a wood, we suddenly heard many wolf howls. Extinguish the fire and hide it for a while, and then find it in the forest......"

Bill and Bing on the side responded one after another.

They were a little frightened when they saw the old man looking "angry". Unlike Anthony, they were official disciples of Benson. For this old man who has the grace of teaching them, it is a respect from the heart. In front of him, they were all timid like rats.

Bill was a strong man nearly two meters tall, and the bin on his side was as short as Bert, but his complexion was extremely dark, making him look like a piece of black coal. Now all three are at a loss.

"If you're right, you found it on the other side of the pass, and it was yesterday. Then you can report it in a timely manner. Old Benson stood up, "If it's too late, it may be a little too late." ”

He pointed to the giant wolf on the ground, "This beast is dead at the hands of its companions, and its belly is empty, which is a very bad sign. ”

"Teacher—oh, no, Chief, are you sure it really died at the hands of the Winter Wolf?" Bert, who was the first to speak, "The Winter Wolf would do something cannibalistic?"

The rest of the people, including Anthony on the side, all nodded.

The winter wolf is known for its unity in the Roland world, and "watching and helping each other like a winter wolf" is a proverb that everyone knows.

"That's because you don't know something. "It's been thirty years since they last saw this, and it's been a generation or two in between. The oldest of you is Anthony, who is only thirty-four years old, and of course you don't know. In fact, I've only seen this happen five or six times in my nearly forty years of being here in the Limestone Collar. But every time, it sticks in my mind. ”

The old man was trapped in his memories, and the remaining four people were all silent when they saw his solemn expression.

"Anyway, I've examined the wounds on it, and these are unequivocal ......"

"Teacher—oh, no, Chief. So what the hell happened to it? Bert was a little anxious. As a party, he is indeed the most urgent one here, "Don't sell it......"

"You don't have to be in such a hurry, I know that you are afraid that if you don't report it, there will be serious consequences. But you don't know it beforehand. And, when you found them half a month ago, they probably hadn't changed at all. Old man Benson comforted him, and he pointed to the winter wolves on the ground, "Listen to me, whenever this happens, it means that they will form a large wolf pack, ready to invade the town!"

At this moment, everyone was dumbfounded.

"Do you know why the winter wolves, which have always been united, kill each other?" sighed Old Benson, "because they are faint from hunger, and the wolf that killed them is not a wolf pack. The reason why the general winter wolf pack is harmonious with each other is because most of the members of them are originally husband and wife. This kind of wolf pack of at most a dozen or so cubs will never happen. Any contradiction between their members will be put to the point. Cannibalism like this only shows that they have developed from a few small groups to a large group. The relationship between them was not as close as it used to be, and it was only possible with the lure of hunger that it was ......"
