Chapter 167: Aftermath (I)
Time seems to have frozen. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, the whole world is only Albert and Joanna.
Until...... Until Catherine's dissatisfied cough sounded, the beautiful and warm picture instantly turned awkward.
Joanna's frightened fawn pushed Albert away, her cheeks flushed slightly, and the latter shook her head and said helplessly, "You're back just in time." ”
"yes, otherwise how would we have known you've been here to talk about love. Catherine's tone was tinged with anger, "Damn boy, do you know how brave it takes to break the foul mouths of those werewolves, not to mention the medicine you have to feed them." She grumbled, her emotions getting more and more agitated, "Oh, you don't know, two noble ancient magicians, of course we do this kind of rough work. ”
"I just woke up. Albert felt the need to explain.
"Come on. Catherine rolled her eyes, "The devil knows how long you've been hugging you, and if you've done anything else." ”
"You ......"
"Suspicious and arrogant elves, you've said enough. ”
As soon as Albert spoke, he only said one word, but was interrupted by Joanna on the side.
"Am I suspicious and arrogant?" Catherine glared at Joanna, "don't I even have the right to complain?"
"Don't pretend, hypocritical elf, don't think I can't see what you're thinking. Joanna glared back at the other without showing weakness, "You're not complaining at all, you're jealous." She changed her usual gentleness, and her tone and every word she said were extremely aggressive.
"It's the funniest joke I've ever heard since I was born. ”
Catherine pursed her lips and said disdainfully. "You think everyone loves dwarves as much as you do?"
"Then why are you angry?" retorted Joanna, like a vexatious little girl, "you... You're just jealous of me anyway. ”
"Catherine. I'm only half a head shorter than you. At this moment, Albert couldn't help but interrupt the argument between the two, using the average height of a dwarf of less than thirteen centimeters as an analogy, which was too bullying. He admits that he is a little short, but that is because he is only sixteen years old, and seventeen inches tall is not bad among his peers.
However. Albert's words were like a stone sinking into the sea, no, worse than that.
Even if a stone is thrown into the ocean, it will still cause waves and ripples. But Joanna and Catherine didn't notice him at all.
The two girls quarreled intently, and the invisible smoke of gunpowder spread. As the fighting quickly heats up, the topic of their quarrel shifts, escalating from targeted cynicism to racial issues.
"Elves are a cowardly race. He once bowed down to the dragon clan. ”
"Humans are more greedy and hateful than vampires. Stir up wars all over the Atlantis. ”
Joanna and Catherine don't give in to each other, you say a word to me, and Albert chooses to be silent very familiarly.
He had already experienced such a quarrel once, and Albert knew how to deal with it, and he knew that it had nothing to do with him.
On the surface, it seems that the beginning of this quarrel originated from him, but in fact, it is purely two girls who are jealous of each other's beauty. There is no girl who doesn't care about her appearance. And those beautiful girls who are extremely confident in their appearance will see equally beautiful women as imaginary enemies. From the moment Joanna and Catherine met, fate had already doomed them from becoming friends. It's like one magnet meets another magnet of the same pole.
Albert quietly retreated, not wanting to fall victim to this "war" again.
Standing in the distance, he looked at the shadow beside him with envious eyes, wishing that he was also a simple puppet at this time.
"Where are the werewolves we rescued now?" Albert asked after a brief pause, no longer focusing on Joanna's quarrel with Catherine.
"At the foot of the mountain, after Catherine and I fed the werewolf a blood clotting potion, Catherine told them to wait for us there. The shadow machine said, his gaze hidden in the black air, always staying on the two girls, as if trying to understand what they were doing. Why did the two people who fought side by side and cooperate tacitly last night face each other like enemies today.
Albert nodded and patted Shadow on the shoulder, "Let's go, show me the werewolves." ”
"Don't you wait for them? And Chevis, he's gone looking for food. Shadow looked at Albert, "Humans should eat more after being injured, just like golems need to replenish magic crystals regularly." As he spoke, he took out a small piece of magic crystal from his wide black robe and threw it straight into his mouth.
"Okay. Albert smiled, Shadow had grown so much more than when they first met.
※※※
The foot of Mount Pigg.
Looking at the shadowy werewolf in front of him, Albert couldn't help frowning.
The werewolves looked at their former relatives and now turned hideous, their hearts filled with rejection and disbelief.
But as time passed, all the negative emotions were washed away by the thick expression, and they hugged each other, which made them feel warm, and they could better understand the pain of the other person, as well as the confusion and fear of the unknown. Most of the werewolves were farmers, and before that, they didn't know the word werewolf at all, and even if they did, they only regarded werewolf legends as horror stories to scare children into returning early.
However, now everything has changed.
They were confused, and the only thing they knew was that they were no longer human.
Albert was equally confused, having done all this, he was obligated to give the werewolf a new home, at least he thought so.
Last night, as many as 300 werewolves were killed in the battle, but now there are still more than 700 werewolves to be placed, although these people have regained their original consciousness, but they have not yet mastered the skills to become humans, and they are simply not accepted by people, Albert is sure that once these werewolves set foot in the human world, they will be expelled and even burned at the stake as evil devils.
Time passed, and I don't know how long it took, but Albert's eyes suddenly lit up and he thought of a good place.
"Ladies and gentlemen, please be quiet, with all due respect. He coughed lightly and said very politely, so as not to make these people who had suffered so much uncomfortable. "If you are willing to trust me, I can provide you with a place to live. ”
"Of course, you are our benefactor. ”
A male werewolf stepped forward, and many werewolves nodded in agreement.
"Without your help, we may never be able to escape the devil's confines and live like the walking dead. ”
However, just then, a discordant voice appeared.
"We can't trust him. ”
An old-sounding voice rang out, causing a commotion.
"He's killed nearly half of them, think of those dead werewolves, are we going to leave our fate to a stranger?"
A werewolf stepped forward, his glowing eyes cloudy and full of vicissitudes. And his words fell into the pond like a stone, causing ripples on the surface of the water that had no waves in the ancient well, and more opposing voices appeared, and there were even accusations against Albert.
