Chapter 8 Clues

Argus doesn't boast of being a good guy, and he doesn't want to be a bad guy!

Helping others while being hunted down by a group of powerful and outrageous guys?

Argus wondered how he could have such a ridiculous idea!

What does it matter to him whether those stupid imps live or die?

He had advised them many times that it was they themselves who were going to seek death......

"Woo woo woo ......" another wolf howl was heard in the distance.

"Tsk!" Argus stood up with a flap of his forehead, glancing at the campfire, which was extinguished in the blink of an eye.

"Just repay them for those dry breads, damn it!"

Muttering, Argus wrapped himself in a black coat and hurried in the direction the children had left.

"Pray, imps, pray those guys behind me don't chase too closely......"

Not to mention that Argus was muttering about the footsteps of the children, but also that when Jiang Zhe and the others arrived at the village called Asher, they happened to see a dozen Imperial Guards driving the wolves away.

"Are there any guards at the nearby outpost?" Alan muttered with a hint of surprise.

Probably hearing the sound of footsteps, the dozen or so guards turned their heads alertly, and when they looked at it, their expressions were a little stunned, and one of the guards captain raised his hand and shouted, "Stop, little ones......!

After all, the guards are only the most basic armed forces of the empire, and these guys in front of them are future nobles, in a country where the empire has a very serious class, civilians dare not offend magicians who are nobles, even if they are magician apprentices.

"Hello, Dear Mr. Guard, may I ask if this is a village called Asher?" Scott, who had received an excellent aristocratic education since childhood, was clearly a model of nobility when he spoke, and whether it was his tone or gestures, he was afraid that he would please the most discerning etiquette instructor.

On the contrary, the captain of the guard in his thirties on the other side looked a little uneasy, hurriedly saluted, and stammered, "Yes, little ...... Sir!" The captain of the guard was very embarrassed to look at the little guy in front of him, who might be about the same age as his own child.

In the Empire, even if it is an apprentice magician, his status is far higher than that of a commoner!

"What's going on here, are you being attacked? Well, that's right, we heard some wolf howls from here a mile away, and we thought something was going on, so we came and looked......"

"Oh," said the captain of the guards, relieved, and then shook his head in annoyance, "I don't know what kind of madness those beasts had, we were just ordered to garrison this village, and we were attacked by those damned beasts, and several young lads were injured......" As he spoke, he subconsciously glanced at the guards gathered in the distance.

Following his line of sight, Scott could clearly see several guards bandaging their wounded companion's wounds.

"Is it a werewolf?" Scott's voice was a little low, because he knew that the werewolf's sharp teeth contained deadly venom that ordinary people simply could not bear, and the toxin was enough to kill a strong man.

"Wolf, werewolf?" the guard captain's eyes were a little puzzled, and he asked hesitantly, "Excuse me, what is a werewolf?"

"Huh?" Scott asked, a little confused, after a moment of deep thought, "if you don't mind, can you tell me what you have been ordered?"

"Oh," said the captain of the guard, nodding his head, "and we were drinking ale at the outpost at almost dawn...... Ah, no, we were on patrol at the outpost not far from here, and then a magician came to us and told us to bring some men to this village, saying that the civilians of this village had been attacked by wild beasts......"

"It's supposed to be Professor Hod!" Lavia frowned and nodded, frowning at the buildings in the village, "What just happened?"

"Huh?" the captain of the guard was stunned and hurriedly explained, " So, the magician said that the civilians of this village had been attacked by wild beasts, but when we came to this village, we wanted to find out if there were any living people in the village, but strangely, not only was there no one in the village, but there was not a single corpse in the whole village, only a pool of blood, so I told my men to look in the woods over there, but before we could get close, they were attacked by a pack of damned wolves, and we had no choice but to retreat......"

"So," Lavia nodded slightly, turning to Scott in a low voice, "Looks like the professor didn't ......catch up."

"Hmm!" Scott understood what she meant, if Professor Hodd caught up, then they wouldn't have encountered those 'werewolves' in the woods a mile away, and he and the others knew that humans who were bitten to death by werewolves would become soulless puppets, and the professor would not be unaware.

Although it was a little unfair to those poor civilians, it was the only way to free them, just like Jiang Zhe did.

"Then those wolves don't want people to get close to the woods over there......" Scott turned his head to look at the woods that the captain of the guard had said, and frowned, "what's behind the woods?"

"Well," said the captain of the guard, after thinking for a long time, uncertainly, "there is no village behind the woods...... There is an abandoned mine...... yes, I remember, through the woods, about a mile and a half away, there's a mine that was abandoned a few years ago, but it's no ......longer in use."

"The pit?" Scott said with a smile as he turned his head to look at Lavia, "what do you think?"

"Hmph!" Lavia snorted lightly, "Maybe it's become a wolf's den!" her expression seemed a little absent-minded.

As the two questioned the captain of the guard, Alan turned his head to look at the buildings in the village, and he found that although the village looked about the same as the one where the professor lived, it was much larger, and there were quite a few wooden houses in the village, and the number of villagers was probably four or five hundred.

Alan couldn't help but feel a little creepy at the thought that there were four or five hundred of those disgusting guys just now, although those werewolf puppets could hardly do any harm to him.

In the final analysis, Alan himself can't accept that the werewolf full of wild surnames in his fantasy is such a virtuous person.

"No, the whole village will become that, that......" With fear in her eyes, Lisa cautiously looked at the wooden houses around her, for fear that something would come out of nowhere.

"It's a pity, I'm afraid it......" Shrugging his shoulders, Alan suddenly saw Jiang Zhe and Dia standing in a wooden house talking something, walked over curiously, and asked, "What are you talking about, man?"

Shaking his head, Jiang Zhe pointed to the tattered wooden door and said, "No, I'm just looking at this door...... An inch or so of a plank doesn't seem like much effort for them......"

"What's this," said Allen, unconcerned, "I can do this kind of thing!"

"Look at the claw marks on the door!" Jiang Zhe said angrily.

Only then did Alan notice that the door was not broken, but scratched by the sharp claws of those guys, and after comparing the robe beside him with the wooden door, he showed a strange expression, which caused Dia next to Jiang Zhe to chuckle.

"Be careful, Alan!"

"Ah!" Alan bent down and made a knightly salute, and said Wen Wen, "beautiful young lady, your care has made me feel the beauty of this world again, I will turn into your sharp sword and solid shield, I will ......"

Before he could say anything, he hit his head with a smack, it was Scott.

"When will you be able to get a piece of the occasion, and besides, I'm curious where you learned those jumbled sentences!" Frowning at Alan who was pouting, Scott said angrily, "Remember, you're a magician's apprentice, not a bard, and I'm very humiliated to be your companion!"

"Hey," Buffing his head, Alan said dissatisfied, "Don't say it's that serious, man......"

Glaring at Alan speechlessly, Scott shook his head, turned to Jiang Zhe and said, "Soth, I just asked the guards stationed here about the situation, through this wood, there is an abandoned mine in the northwest direction of this village, I suspect that the mine is where the werewolves hide!"

"Werewolves, those guys?" Jiang Zhe's expression was a little stunned.

"Hmm," Scott said in a low voice, pushing his glasses, "I see what you mean, the werewolf who attacked this village, turned the villagers into soulless puppets, I suspect he's there, the question now is, should we go to that mine, there is at least one of the real werewolves, and about four or five hundred of the civilians of this village turned into werewolf puppets......"

"Four or five hundred ......" Jiang Zhe hesitated for a moment and said in deep thought, "If that pit is really the hiding place of the werewolves, then the professor should also go there, Scott, Allen, what do you think?"

"I don't care," Shrugging, Alan preemptively said, "I'm a little interested in that real werewolf, those soulless puppets really disappointed me!"

"I'm ......," Scott said with a rare unnatural expression, pushing his glasses and sneering, "I'm also very interested in that werewolf, and there is no record of this forbidden magic in Reokes' library, so ......"

Obviously, Jiang Zhe saw Scott's embarrassment, touched his chin and said with a smile, "You don't even have a library in Reokes?

“...... Heh!" Scott smiled with relief after being stunned for a moment, with a little warmth in his eyes, nodded, and said very seriously, "What are you talking about......" As he spoke, he glanced at Dia and asked, "So what does Senior Sister Dia think?"

Looking at the inquiring eyes of the three boys beside her, Dia chuckled and said, "Don't underestimate me, fifty years from now, I won't regret not having the courage to go with you!"

At the same time, to the northwest of the village of Asher, Argus was leaning against a tree with his eyes closed and arms folded, surrounded by dozens of mountain wolves, but he did not dare to step forward.

After a long time, Argus slowly opened his eyes and stared intently at the ground beneath his feet.

"Doesn't that seem like a bad thing......

With that, he straightened up, ignoring the wolves in front of him, and walked straight through them.

From beginning to end, the mountain wolves did not dare to move......
