Chapter 015: Beyond Words
The burly Marr trampled through the snow of the valley with solid steps, and the wind howled to his village, where two guests by the lake caught his attention. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Why are you here?" said Mar stopped in front of the two men, and the Prophet followed behind them into the village.
By this time, Mar had swept away the slump of the night in the pinecone forest, and his hind limbs were almost fully recovered, and he looked energetic in front of them, but there was a little blue blood left on his strong pectoral muscles, and Kenny looked up at the strange scar on Mal's pectoral muscles.
"What's wrong with you, Mar, you haven't seen you for two days, why are you hurt again?" Kenny scrutinized the scar, which looked like it had been wounded by a three-headed blade.
"It's nothing, I ran into a flock of mad birds, don't mention it. Tell me about you, how did you find me?" Mar raised her hand to wipe the dried blood from her chest.
"My friend was injured by the snow wolf, and nowβ" Kenny was interrupted by Marr as soon as he spoke.
"What are you talking about?Snow Wolf?" said Mal, looking at Kenny in disbelief.
"I also heard from Allen, my friend went out hunting a few days ago, unfortunately was injured by a snow wolf, we have never seen this animal from the First Continent, now my friend has changed into a beast, it now looks like a monster with white hair all over its body, you prophets have always been well-informed, can you think of a way to help my friend get rid of the snow wolf poison?" Kenny looked at Mar expectantly.
"Where is your friend now, can you take me to see it first?"
"We trapped him in the wooden prison and brought him to you, and you know that the Earth Spirit Clan has no fighting power, in case he breaks free from the cage....."
"It's okay, take me to see it first. β
Kenny led Mar to the place where everyone was waiting, Marr looked at the monster in the cage, Lawrence was still asleep at this time, the four fangs were trembling with his breathing, and there were traces of the dead soldier's dry blood, although in the coma, those white manes like steel needles still stood on him, vaguely revealing hostility, it seemed that Old Maude's medication dose was a bit excessive, and it had been a day, and Lawrence had not woken up.
"It looks like it's really hurt by a snow wolf, it's strange! Maar said as she looked at the beastly Lawrence in the cage.
"He went hunting the night you raided us, and when he came back, he didn't say a word about him being scratched by a snow wolf, but we can't blame him for this, we don't have that species on the First Continent, and we didn't know he was injured until last night after his beast transformation, but it was too late. Kenny sighed with a big look in his eyes.
"Well, it happened to be a full moon last night. Mal said, looking at Kenny.
"Full moon?"
"Yes, snow wolf venom has an incubation period, the length of the incubation period is calculated according to the full moon of each month, the closer to the full moon, the shorter the incubation period, and vice versa. β
"So, is my friend still saved?"
"There's a way, but it may be too lateβ" Mar said again.
"Say, Mar, there's a way for me to try. β
"I've only heard that this kind of beast transformation is the first time I've seen it, the Ice Plains have never left their territory, and the best way is of course to go to the Ramo Ice Plain to find the owner of the snow wolf, but the Ramo Ice Plain is thousands of miles away from here..."
"It doesn't matter how far you go, as long as you can save my friend. Kenny interrupted Mal.
"I haven't finished speaking, the Ice Plains hate humans very much, you will never come back alive if you go, not to mention that even if you are not afraid of thousands of miles away, your friend can't wait that long, the next full moon night, he will completely turn into a snow wolf, and at that time, it is estimated that even the manifestation of the god Namu will not be able to save him. β
Mar's words pierced Kenny's heart like a sharp blade, and Kenny stared at Lawrence in the wooden prison, unable to believe that this loyal Namu believer would become like this forever.
"Don't look like this, in fact, there is another way, although it is not as reliable as the first one, but you can try it. β
"What's the solution?" Kenny, who was in a state of despair, immediately regained his senses when he heard Mal's words.
"There is a monastery in the city of Nipur not far from here, and there is an elder named Eugene in the monastery, and it is rumored that he has the ability to bring humans back from the dead, and I think maybe he can save your friend. β
"Great! You're really a savior from the Namu gods, but can I put him with you for the time being, I'll be back as soon as I find a solution, these soldiers will stay on guard, and tomorrow I'll let them strengthen the wooden prison again, and try not to cause you any trouble!" Kenny looked at Mar excitedly.
"Of course, but as an ally, I have to warn you that Eugene is not a good man, and if he offers any particularly excessive quid pro quo, don't agree to it lightly. β
"Got it, thank you!"
Kenny said goodbye to Mar excitedly, and led the soldiers back to Nanna Village in the night. On the way, Kenny reverts to his old look, and Alan looks at Kenny at the front of the line, and has a lot of things to ask, but he can't bear to destroy that last bit of hope.
It was the middle of the night when he returned to Nanna Village, and in order not to disturb the rest of the village spirits, all the campfires in the garrison had been extinguished, and the soldiers who had stayed behind brought dinner to those who had returned late, and Kenny sat in his small stone hut with roasted hare meat on the table, but he had no appetite at all.
Suddenly, there is a knock on the door that jolts Kenny out of his thoughts.
"Did you sleep?" said Allen.
Kenny stands up and opens the door, where he sees Alan standing in the doorway.
"Come in. Kenny's words were not only tired, but also a little lost.
"Kenny, I didn't want to say this because of your relationship with Lawrence, but didn't you hear what was in Mar's words?" Alan walked into the hut and closed the door.
The door of the stone house creaked, which was particularly harsh in the quiet cabin, and Alan sat on the floor after entering, leaning against the stone wall and looking at Kenny with a lost face.
"Of course, but it's better than no way, isn't it? No matter how stupid it is, I'll have to try. Kenny looked at Alan on the ground flatly.
"When I first met you and Lawrence, I thought you were just a lord and a captain, but I didn't expect you to really treat him as a friend, you and all the lords I've ever met are different Kenny, it's nice to know you, although our ancestors were hostile hundreds of years ago. β
"Hehe, okay, rest early, we'll go to Nipur City early tomorrow morning, and we need you to lead the way." β
Alan got up from the ground and looked at Kenny in the candlelight, and turned out of the stone house.
On the other side of the Prophet tribe, Lawrence, who turned into a beast in the moonlight, was trapped in a wooden prison, and the soldiers guarding around him were already asleep, and a dark shadow quietly touched the Prophet tribe.
He walked to the edge of the wooden cell, took out a small bottle of white potion from his jacket pocket, and sprinkled it evenly on Lawrence, only to see that the white potion had just touched Lawrence, and the white mane on his body instantly began to degenerate, and the fangs and white nails in his mouth also fell off one after another.
Naked Lawrence crouched in the snow, his sore body making him forget the cold of the winter night, he stood up on the stake of the cage, and looked at the figure in the moonlight in a daze.
A shocked expression instantly crawled all over Lawrence's face, and a chill that had never been felt before swept through his body, Lawrence trembled and said to the figure, "How could it be you?!"
