The next morning, they began to get up to prepare for their meeting with the hermit. And the reason why the city lord prepared clothes for the mage and his party last night was all to prepare for this meeting, according to the city lord of Worf, the most hated thing by the hermit was mercenaries and mages, for no other reason, precisely because it was in this image that Shande and the city lord himself walked in the Fierce Hammer Territory in such an image. And the dress of the nobility and the army at least so that the other party does not feel disgusted with cheese at first sight.

"Actually, I'm curious. What did the city lord and Sander do back then that would make this hermit feel disgusted just by seeing a mercenary? Elsa said as she walked on the way to the hermit's quarters provided by Wolff. Although this hermit had a special status in the Iron Castle, he lived in the slums of the outer city, and it would take some time to get there from the inner city.

"It's hard to say, sometimes reality is more tortuous than the poetry in the mouths of those bards. What's more, the hermit is still living in the Iron Keep, which means that he doesn't hate Sander and them, and I think that's why the city lord thinks we have a chance to convince him. Jack, who was on a wooden cane, tried to analyze it with his sanity once.

"Hey, who said that the hermit must be a man? maybe it's a lady, if that's the case, she and the city lord might have had a better time. "Gossip is always in human nature, even for the warriors who are Frost Guardians. Mona guessed with a sly smile on her face.

"Well, no matter what happened in the past. We're going to meet a wolfwalker hermit with a strange temperament, and I hope you'd better control yourself. Cheese, who was preoccupied with the negotiation to be present, interrupted. He had no interest in the city lord Sander and the hermit's past, and in his opinion, if it weren't for the wolfwalker's ability to help the mage investigate the attack on the Iron Keep, Cheese wouldn't have wasted time visiting the hermit. You must know that their original purpose was to go to the capital of the Greylion Kingdom, and now the group has been delayed for three days in the Iron Castle because of these trivial matters. Although Cheese had successfully suppressed the spread of the plague by the time he left the county of Salon, no one knew how long the medicine that had been sown into the Dragon's Blood Creek would be effective. Thinking of this, the mage even felt the urge to leave the Iron Keep immediately.

Wait a minute!

Cheese suddenly realized that there was something wrong with the fluctuation of his thoughts just now, as a spellcaster dealing with mysterious and unknown things, there was absolutely no hole in Cheese's psychological quality, and the anxiety like that just now should never appear so naturally in his mind. Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out on the mage's back. Who affected his sanity in what way?, Cheese began to look around quietly, hoping to find something abnormal.

At this time, the group had already entered the slum, surrounded by the residents at the bottom of the Iron Fort who had started to work hard for a day's food, which showed that the governance of the Iron Fort was still good. Although it is called a slum, it is also a place name that has been used in the past, compared to the slums full of beggars, warblers, thieves and robbers, the inhabitants of the lower levels of the Iron Fort have at least a job to make ends meet, which can also be seen that the lord of Wolf may really have two brushes in governing government affairs. But because of the large crowd around him, it was difficult for Cheese to find what he was looking for in such a noisy environment.

"Speaking of which, has that dog been following us all along?" Jack suddenly whispered. As a scout in the team, "Monkey" has always maintained a certain level of vigilance against his surroundings. Because of this instinct trained in the dense forest, Jack is very sensitive to gaze and subtle sounds, and since he just stepped into the slum, almost everyone who has stayed on the group for five seconds is within his alert range. Only this time the target he found was not a person, but a big black dog that had been following the group not far away.

"That's ...... Wolfhound?" Following the subtle body movements of her companion, Mona also saw the dog in Jack's mouth. As a family living near Longji Mountain, the dogs in the nursing home are also an indispensable equipment for every household. And among these various dogs that have been selected and fused by time, the large hound known as the wolfhound is the representative of the well-known entire Greylion Kingdom. Not only the hunters, but also the nobles who loved to hunt took pride in being able to domesticate the pure-blooded wolfhounds. Why did this valuable dog breed end up in the slums of the Iron Castle? Although the dog's gray coat was covered in mud and other stains, it did not prevent the female warrior from recognizing the purity of his bloodline.

"That's right, it's a wolfhound, and that kind of one will cost a silver coin to say the least, and these city people can't recognize it, but I won't be mistaken. "As a hunter, the selection of hounds is simply a basic skill, in Jack's eyes, the value of this wolfhound is definitely not something that can be measured by money, and a hound that cooperates well with its owner is no less than the hunter's second life. And because of this, the presence of this hound will be noticed by the "monkey".

"You mean we're followed by a dog?" Cheese suddenly interjected. The mage's words seemed to suddenly tense up, as if it was a terrible thing to be stalked by a dog.

"Yes, and it's a purebred wolfhound, and I said how about we catch this dog if we have time? It doesn't look like it has an owner. Jack's saliva was pouring out when he said this. He really liked the dog, and if it wasn't for Cheese's previous order not to leave the team without permission, I'm afraid he would have gone to catch the dog.

"Catch the dog? No way, if I'm not mistaken, the dog you see should have an owner. And its owner is the hermit we are looking for. The mage whispered.

"What? How is it possible? Why would a wolfwalker keep a wolfhound?" the proprietress of the wolfhound, who had also heard of the wolfhound's daimyo, asked in the same low voice.

"I don't know much about wolfhounds, but I do know that there are some gifted beings among wolfwalkers. In addition to transforming into wolves, they have a few other tricks. One of the most famous is the taming of canine animals. And the wolfwalkers with this ability have a special name, the wolf witch. Cheese's face didn't look like a joke, and he continued, "The wolf witch is an extremely rare existence, a wolf witch usually becomes the core of a certain wolf walker clan, and there is actually a lone wolf witch here?"

When Cheese and the others cautiously peeked at the wolfhound that was not far behind them, the wolfhound snorted softly as if he had heard some command, turned around and ran into the alley on the side, easily getting out of Cheese's sight.
