Chapter 3: The Village Where the Professor Lives (3)

"Werewolves?"

Lavia's words seemed to make the children in the room have some degrees of stunned, and even Jiang Zhe, whose face was full of sleepiness, also concentrated, which made Lavia faintly feel a little complacent.

"Werewolf, is it an orc?" asked Alan, confused.

Obviously, Scott couldn't stand Allen's ignorance, frowned and said, "Allen, if you spend part of your muscle-building time looking through the literature, you should be able to understand that werewolves and orcs are obviously two different concepts!"

"Oh, is it?" said Allen, turning his head back and forth at his companion in the room.

At this time, Dia said in a tone of uncertainty, "Werewolves, in the literature, seem to be people who have been bewitched by demons, right, Lavia......"

"Hmph," Lavia seemed to be a little dissatisfied with Dia's stealing of her topic, snorted lightly, barely put up a smile, and whispered, "Senior Sister Dia is right, werewolves are not simply a 'combination of man and beast', it was first born from the temptation of demons...... A long time ago, the magicians confirmed that there are no demons in the world we live in, but the magicians have confirmed that demons exist, and that they are in a world different from us humans, in another world, a subspace.

Generally speaking, demons can't pass through the limitations of the plane and reach our world, of course, this restriction can be temporarily broken with high-level summoning techniques, there are many types of demons, and different types of demons have different abilities, but I don't know exactly how...... Don't laugh, Soth!"

"Yes, yes!" Jiang Zhe shrugged speechlessly.

Glaring at Jiang Zhe fiercely, Lavia continued, "Among the many kinds of demons, there is a kind of magic that is good at psychic magic, it is said that they can see through the negative emotions in people's hearts, such as tyranny, **, bloodthirsty, demons can expand this negative emotions infinitely, in order to achieve the purpose of controlling people's hearts, in magic literature, this kind of demons are called 'whisperers',' The Whisperers are very dangerous, because they can bewitch life through words, but they are not very powerful in themselves, as long as the willpower is strong, there is no need to fear them, but if the willpower is not strong, even the righteous people will become cruel, bloodthirsty, and greedy because of the whisperer's demagogy......

It is recorded in the literature that a werewolf was captured hundreds of years ago, and the son of one of his carpenters, named Jean Connell, turned into a werewolf, he was so powerful that ordinary weapons could not kill him at all, which meant that any life in front of him could only be left to fate.

The appearance of the werewolf unnerved the nearby lords, who sent a large number of troops to round up the werewolf, but the troops who went there failed, and in the end, an earl defeated the werewolf, and he was ready to burn the werewolf at the stake, but the alchemist who came to his aid stopped him, and the alchemist took the werewolf away.

Jean Connell, a werewolf, remained sane in addition to being extremely bloodthirsty and irritable, and he told the alchemist the reason why he became a werewolf...... The exact events are not documented, but the alchemist recorded a very important event, according to Jean Connell, who once met a mysterious knight in a trance, and the mysterious knight gave him a wolf's skin in exchange for Jean Connell to give him a hundred soul ...... every year."

"Ahh

“...... Jean Connell signed this contract, and at the instigation of the demons, he soon revealed his bloodthirsty side, he took people as prey, and did brutal things to humans with impunity, and in the pre-magical age hundreds of years ago, his power was not afraid of any alchemist, neither weapons nor alchemy, could kill him, he destroyed one village after another, killing all the humans inside...... Eventually, the evil werewolf was imprisoned in the alchemist's dungeon......"

There was silence in the room, and then a yawn broke it.

"Ha, I said," Jiang Zhe said a little speechlessly, "Lavia, are you teaching us the werewolf course?"

"You!" Lavia looked at Jiang Zhe hatefully and said to Scott, "Scott, you should know, there is a magic in the curse that is forbidden by the seal, the wolf transformation technique!"

"Well," Scott nodded, "It seems that the magic that makes a contract with the demon can be turned into a powerful werewolf, unlike the legendary elven druid's wolf transformation technique, it is not so much a magic as a curse, so it has been banned by the Imperial Magic Association for generations, and spells, processes, and props cannot be retained, only as a catalog......"

"Is that really the case, buddy?" Alan said in surprise with a puzzled tone, "Even if werewolves were very powerful hundreds of years ago, magic didn't exist at that time, right? If it were now, the damn werewolves would have been burned a hundred times!"

"Hmph!" Scott didn't answer Allen's question, he just glanced at Lavia.

As if a little grateful that Scott still gave him back the opportunity to explain, Lavia smiled slightly, shook her head and said, "You're wrong, Alan, the reason why wolfification is listed as a forbidden cursed magic is not because of his great power after becoming a werewolf, nor is it the contract with the demon...... Listen, some cocky fool!"

"Hey, hey!"

"Ahem," glancing at Jiang Zhe with a little narrow eyes, Lavia said in a low voice, "For the war against the orcs a thousand years ago to the formation of the empire hundreds of years ago, it was the era of alchemists, and modern magicians call it the pre-magic age, it was a chaotic era, the road was inhabited by all kinds of life, and the magic mastered by humans at that time was only alchemy and curses, and they had not yet learned green magic from human allies, and the magic materials used for research were not so comprehensive......

After the formation of the empire, the black mages found that werewolves who had sucked human blood could transform into another kind of life after death, another kind of life that also sucked human blood, and the black mages called it a vampire......!

"Vampire?" Jiang Zhe's eyes widened, and he asked repeatedly, "Werewolves become vampires after they die......?" Vampires become werewolves after they die?"

"That's right," Lavia was a little puzzled by Jiang Zhe's expression, nodded and explained, That's how it is explained in the literature, but not all werewolves can become vampires after death, and not all vampires are werewolves, but according to the literature, the vampires that werewolves become after death are only one of the vampires, this kind of vampires will not use blood magic, but their strength is stronger than ordinary vampires, they can become wolves or bats, and their vitality is stronger than that of ordinary vampires, as long as the energy in their bodies has not been consumed, they are immortal!”

"No...... Immortal?" Allen's tongue stammered, and beside him, Lisa grabbed Allen's arm tightly, a look of horror on her face.

"It's just close to immortality...... This type of vampire is called "Gangaro" in the literature, and Gangaro is like the most powerful warrior among vampires, and their bravery does not come from rage, but from their beast instincts. The way to deal with ordinary vampires is of little use to them, of course, if Salonia's white magic can still cause them serious damage, after all, they belong to the 'undead' ......"

"So what kind of vampire are there other than this Gangero?" Jiang Zhe asked curiously.

"Of course," Lavia glanced at Jiang Zhe proudly, and said in a low voice, "In history, there are many magicians who have used alchemy to study life and spells handed down in ancient times for eternal life, and have become vampires, they are called [Simmore], they have transformed themselves into immortal souls, and in addition to the magic of the dark system, they can also use other 'living' magic, which has always been the target of the priests of Salonia, but it seems that it has not been seen in the past hundred years......

Well, there seem to be several types of vampires besides [Gangero] and [Simor], but there are very few records in the literature, I only remember that hundreds of years ago, it seems that there was a grand duke who also became a vampire and suffered a curse for killing too many lives, well, the name is ......"

"Vlad Tepes!" Scott reminded softly.

"Huh?" said Lisa, covering her mouth with her little hand in surprise, and she clearly remembered that it was a character from the story she had just spoken.

"He was cursed for carrying the lives of a large number of victims, but legend has it that the real reason why Vlad became a vampire was because he made a pact with a demon and paid for a very large number of souls...... This kind of vampire who directly signs a contract with a demon and becomes a vampire, which is called [Lesumba] or [Jimiba] in the literature, is the largest number of vampires, and most of them are humans who cannot resist the temptation of demons and sign a contract...... For the sake of eternal life...... Hmph!"

"Scott, have you seen that too?" Lavia's expression was full of surprise.

Scott came back to his senses, smiled slightly, and said, "No, I just happened to see it while flipping through the literature." ”

"Oh, that's it......" To be honest, Lavia didn't really believe Scott's excuses, after all, she and Jiang Zhe had also gotten along for a while, and compared to the other two, Scott could be regarded as a model of a magician, right!

In this world, how werewolves and vampires are born? Jiang Zhe was full of curiosity and doubt.

As soon as he looked up, he was about to speak, but he saw Lavia looking at him with a strange look, feeling very awkward, coughing, and said strangely, "Thank you very much for giving us an enlightenment lesson on werewolves and vampires! With that, Jiang Zhe got up.

At this point, Lavia spoke, and her tone was very disturbing.

"Legend has it that when the moon is full, werewolves become extremely brutal and bloodthirsty, and they cannot control their thirst for blood, and will follow the smell of blood to find human habitation, and then without hesitation they will cruelly tear apart and devour alive all the creatures they can see...... Suck people's blood and chew their entrails......"

"Goo," Little swallowed, and Lisa grabbed Allen's arm timidly, "Ai...... Ivey, your expression is ...... It's scary......"

"Really?" Lavia smiled, her delicate face looking a little terrifying in the candlelight.

"Soth, the werewolf is said to be very fast, like a gust of wind...... If you are attacked by a werewolf and drained by its blood, then your soul will be handed over to the demon and become a part of the demonic power, and you will never be able to escape, but you can only entangle and bite other souls forever......"

"Don't, don't say any more, Ivy ......" Lerella leaned back into Scott.

“...... In the end, your soul is gradually lost and becomes the plaything of the demons, and when the demons get tired of playing with your soul, they will tear your soul apart and swallow it, you can't resist the power of the demons, you can't even scream, you can only endure the pain of tearing your soul apart, and feel it swallow you up little by little......"

"Ahh

Looking at Lavia, and then at Jiang Zhe, Scott had a few smiles on his face, and said lightly, "Soth, do you know why werewolves can't control themselves? Because the moon contains a special energy, whenever the moon is full, this energy reaches its peak, which will arouse the desire for blood in the werewolves' hearts...... Although there are still a few days before the full moon, the moon is still very round today...... Maybe ......"

"Hey!" Glancing helplessly at Scott, who was secretly snickering, Jiang Zhe said angrily, "I'm happy to meet them...... I just need a wolf skin coat!"

"Yo! good job, man!" Alan whistled as he coaxed.

Looking at Jiang Zhe, who was unmoved, Lavia was obviously a little discouraged, and at this time, there was a loud wolf howl outside......

Lavia smiled faintly and said slyly, "Maybe...... They're more than happy to see you, South......."

"Whew!" there was a wheeze, making a strange noise from the old window, not to mention Lisa and Lerella, even Dia's expression was a little unnatural, and Lavia's expression was pretending to be casual, but her heart was pounding.

"Soth, I've heard that werewolves are used to attacking lonely people, and if a werewolf attacks the attic, I'm afraid we won't be able to rescue you...... Of course, you can stay, werewolves don't usually attack groups of people......"

Looking at Lavia's ghostly smile, Jiang Zhe shook his head speechlessly, and was about to turn around and go back to the attic to sleep, when suddenly one stretched out and grabbed the corner of his robe, it was Dia.

"Soth, I'd better wait a minute...... Again...... "There was a slight tremor in her voice, and it may be that for girls, the fear of horror is not directly related to their own strength.

Probably out of an inexplicable familiarity and affection for Dia, Jiang Zhe sat down again in Lavia's humming.

Although neither Jiang Zhe nor Alan and Scott had any similar expressions of fear on their faces, but somehow, when Lavia saw Jiang Zhe with a normal face, she couldn't help but feel a sense of frustration in her heart, hummed, and said in an unkind tone, "It's your turn, Soth!"

"Me?" Jiang Zhe looked at Alan and Scott who were secretly snickering a little speechlessly, and said hesitantly, "Terrible things, I'm not very good at talking about that......"

"It doesn't matter," Lavia said nonchalantly, cutting her hair, "like you just said, just don't make me laugh!"

"Oh?" Looking at her defiant eyes, Jiang Zhe smiled evilly, "That's okay! I'll talk about one!"

Immediately, there was silence for a long time, because Jiang Zhe, who was the person concerned, did not speak......

Horror stories should focus on atmosphere!

Finally, the long silence made the girls a little uneasy, and even Lavia's expression was a little unnatural, urging, "Say it quickly!"

"What's the hurry," Jiang Zhe rolled his eyes angrily, and said in a deep voice in the dim light of the candle, "Once upon a time, there was a campus, well, you can understand it as Reox...... After a short break, all the students in the academy went home, leaving only one teacher...... Ah no, it's the professor on duty......

It was a dark night......

The professor, who was on night duty in the office, suddenly heard a strange sound from the corridor, he felt a little surprised, got up and opened the door, and glanced into the corridors on both sides, in the dim light, the professor found that there was no one in the corridor, and at the end of the corridor, there was a window blown open by the wind, and the wind blew through the window, and there was a strange sound......

"What's so scary about this?" Lavia muttered quietly.

"Shut up!" Jiang Zhe frowned and continued, "The professor was relieved, he walked out of the office, trying to close the window, but before he could go far, suddenly a gust of wind blew the office door shut, 'Bang!'

The hallway suddenly became very dim, and the lights on both sides ...... Eventually, the wall lamps went out and the hallway was pitch black, and the only source of light was the moonlight coming in from the window......

The professor shook his head and walked towards the window, 'stomp'......

But then, the professor noticed something very surprising, he felt that his footsteps were a little strange......

The professor stopped, but the sound of the 'stomping' footsteps still rang out, and it was getting closer and closer to the professor......

Finally, the footsteps stopped, right behind the professor......

The Professor's breathing became heavy, and he felt as if something was behind him, because he could feel the cold breath coming from behind......

But when the professor jerked back, there was no figure in the hallway behind him......

The professor turned his head and took a deep breath, like this......

Call......

Suck......

The professor looked up, and at that moment, he suddenly saw!

"Hair, hair, what did you find?" Lavia was startled by Jiang Zhe's suddenly raised voice, her whole body trembled, and even her voice trembled a little, and the others also looked at Jiang Zhe with bated breath.

In this regard, Jiang Zhe smiled, softened his voice and said with a smile, "The professor found that the window was closed......"

"Hmph!" Lavia, who realized that she had been fooled, glared at Jiang Zhe angrily.

"What!" Alan pouted in dissatisfaction.

"Blown by the wind?" Scott pushed his glasses with a strange expression.

And the rest, except for Dia, who looked at Jiang Zhe angrily, Lisa and Lyrela's faces were all pale.

"It's really closed," Seeing that he seemed to have committed 'public anger', Jiang Zhe said curtly, "Ahem, I haven't finished talking yet...... As soon as the window closed, the strange sounds stopped, but the professor always felt something behind him, a coldness that seeped into the bone marrow......

The professor wanted to go back to his brightly lit office, but the door was closed, so the professor rummaged through the keys in his pocket, but because it was night, there were so many keys in the professor's pocket that it was too time-consuming to look for them one by one in a dimly lit place......

At that moment, the door to the room in front of him clicked and opened......

The key was in the handle of the door......

But the professor clearly remembered that after opening the door, he put him in his pocket......"

He ...... Did he misremember?" said Lisa, with a pale and timid face.

The professor thought the same thing, so he pushed open the door, sat down at the long table again, and exhaled deeply, but at this time, he noticed that his neck felt a little cold, and he subconsciously turned back, but did not notice anything unusual...... However, in the process of turning his head, the professor caught a glimpse of the glass on the window, and he was shocked to find that in addition to his figure, there was also a ...... in the window.

"What?" asked Lisa, who was listening intently, holding Alan's arm tightly.

"Say, man!" Alan tried his best to hide, but his smile was a little unnatural.

However, Jiang Zhe, who was being watched by everyone, just looked out the window with a distracted face.

Out of curiosity, the children in the house subconsciously glanced out the window, only to see that a humanoid creature appeared to be peering inside the room......

"Yikes!" several girl's screams cut through the silence of the night.

So, what is that?

The looming, smoky form......

Could it be...... Ghost?

Yes, this is not your own world!

Jiang Zhe subconsciously wanted to raise his hand to cast a fireball, but found that his two arms were grabbed by the frightened Diya and Lavia.

"Scott!"

"Hmm!" Scott, who was also looking out of the window, raised his hand to cast a restraint, but to everyone's surprise, the black energy passed directly through the 'white smoke' outside the window, and did not harm 'it'.

"How is that possible!" Scott looked shocked.

I saw that the white smoke seemed to be alive, and after 'looking' at the children in the house, it disappeared into the dark night.

Alan subconsciously rushed to the window, opened the window and looked out, but did not find anything unusual.

"Stride, stride!" there was a rush of footsteps outside the door, and then there was a knock on the door, accompanied by Professor Hodd's voice.

"What's wrong? What's going on?"

Scott went to open the door with a little doubt, but Jiang Zhe glanced at the girls who were clutching his arms, and reminded in a low voice, "It hurts, drag it like this!"

Suddenly, the two girls blushed and hurriedly let go of their hands.

At this time, Professor Huo De, who was wearing pajamas, walked in, and when he was about to ask, he found the five-pointed star and candle at his feet, as if he thought of something, and seemed a little helpless, "Don't disturb the rest of the villagers, this is very rude!" As he spoke, he saw the girls in the room looking uneasy, and said angrily, "Don't bully the girls, you three little ghosts!"

"No, Professor Hodd!" Scott said in a serious tone, "there seems to be something snooping outside the window just now, and my curse magic has no effect on it!"

"Hmm?" Professor Huo De was stunned, walked quickly to the window, looked out a few times, frowned, and said, "This is the second floor, you read that right?"

"There's no way I'm mistaken!" Lerella said hurriedly, "It looks like a figure......

"Really?" Professor Hodd said with a frown, touching his finger on the window railing, "Scott, you say your curse has no effect?"

"Yes, Professor, straight through that white shadow, so I suspect it's probably a soul ......"

"This can't be!" Professor Hodd frowned, shook his head and said, "There are no magicians living nearby, let alone magicians who can control souls, this kind of evil magic is strictly forbidden in the Empire!"

"Professor......

"Alright, don't worry, don't forget that you still have a professor from Reox Academy by your side, rest in peace, Soth, Scott, Allen!"

"Yes, Professor......"

Meanwhile, outside the village of Rio, the man in a black coat is clinging to a tree with his eyes closed and his hands around him.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes and let out a long breath.

"What the hell! This kind of inconspicuous little village is not only inhabited by a few magic imps, but also a powerful magician, what the hell...... Damn!"

As he spoke, the man licked the drops of water beside his lips and sighed slightly, "I wish there were villages nearby...... Damn it!"

ps: Changed the name of the protagonist back to Jiang Zhe during the narration introduction, I think everyone also experienced the awkwardness of reading, as if a person had suddenly changed, so please don't hold on to the name.

In addition, there is an appeal to find a sub-moderator !!;
