Chapter 179: I finally met the werewolf
Because he met the soldiers of the Holy See, Locke did not dare to swagger into the town, but changed his costume and dressed up again, and then came to a tavern in the town to ask for a glass of wine and listened quietly.
"Did you hear that? Someone went missing in town yesterday."
"Really, this is the eighth of this month."
"In recent days, the Holy See has sent many knights to the town to search for suspicious people repeatedly."
"There must be a devil who has infiltrated the town, and the man-eating devil eats a man alive every day!"
"Don't talk nonsense, the priest said it's because a murderous killer has recently wandered around the town, and the knights of the Holy See are tracking the murderer."
"That's what the knights who searched for him, and they said that the murderer had a strange disease and was very sensitive to silver, and now those knights will spill silver powder when they see someone suspicious."
"I see, no wonder the knight came to my house a few days ago and sprinkled everyone with silver powder."
"I heard that if you find a clue about the murderer and report it to the church, as long as the clue is true, you can get a reward of ten gold coins!"
"Really? That's ten gold coins, that's enough to build a nice house."
"Yes, I don't know if I'll be lucky enough to find the clues of this murderer, and if I really find out, I'll get rich."
"Hehe, when you really find the clues, I'm afraid you've been sent to hell by the murderer."
"Who said that, I'm Jerry Scud, no one can run faster than me, and the murderer will definitely not be able to catch up with me!"
Listening to the discussion of these townspeople, Locke guessed that it had not been long since these knights of the Holy See had discovered the traces of werewolves, and silver was something that werewolves were afraid of, which also made him feel a little relieved.
Locke didn't stay much in the tavern, for he noticed that the townspeople seemed to be wary of outsiders now, and he sat for a while, and soon many of them began to look at him with scrutiny.
"I didn't expect the identity of outsiders to be so eye-catching, but it's not surprising, after all, in such a social environment, population movement is not frequent, and there are few ordinary outsiders in small towns.
Coupled with the fact that the Holy See is now searching for the so-called "murderers" with great fanfare, the spirits of these townspeople are tense."
Locke was walking along the only main road in town, and as he thought so, he began to think about how to find the werewolf.
The queen asked Locke to come to the werewolf of the Golden Family to see if she could persuade this werewolf to join the kingdom of Lorenth, but she only knew that the other party was moving around now.
So how to find the werewolf of the Golden Family faster than the Holy See and bring him back was a test for Locke.
"Lalala......"
At this moment, a pleasant and crisp sound came from not far ahead, and Locke looked up and saw that it was a very cute little girl.
The little girl had sapphire blue eyes, an innocent smile on her small face, and a red hat on top of her head.
"Little Red Riding Hood, what are you going to do?" At this time, a person next to him stopped the little girl, and at the same time attracted Locke's attention.
"Little Red Riding Hood?" Locke was slightly stunned, could it be the story of Little Red Riding Hood? Could it be that the werewolf of the Golden Family that he is looking for is the big bad wolf?
None of the fairy tales Locke has ever seen a description of werewolves, but he is not surprised by the existence of werewolves.
After all, he hadn't seen witches, elves, giants, monsters, or even dragons, but he had heard of some from the queen, and there were naturally classic werewolves and vampires among them.
The werewolves and vampires in the fairy tale world are more miserable, because the main range of activities is the East, which has been targeted at the beginning of the establishment of the Holy See.
Werewolves are now an endangered species, and as for vampires, the queen doesn't know that there are still living beings.
It's just that Locke didn't expect that the werewolf was actually related to the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and the werewolf that the Holy See is now tracking,
In Locke's opinion, it was probably the only werewolf with golden blood left.
Thinking of this, Locke began to pay attention to Little Red Riding Hood, secretly keeping an eye on her whereabouts.
Little Red Riding Hood's family is considered wealthy in the town, and there is a very nice vineyard outside the town.
Today Little Red Riding Hood's mother put the prepared snacks and wine in a basket and covered them with a clean cloth, and only then said to Little Red Riding Hood:
"Little Red Riding Hood, Grandma is sick in the vineyard outside town, take these things with you to visit Grandma."
"Yes, Mom." Little Red Riding Hood said very obediently.
"Grandma's body is very weak now, and she needs to rest well, so while it's still early, I will go and give things to grandma, so that she can recover well and recover as soon as possible." Mom continued.
"I know Mom, I'll be very careful and polite." Little Red Riding Hood nodded obediently and set out on the road with one of the maids in the house.
This is different from the fairy tale, but it is normal to think about it, Little Red Riding Hood's family has enough money to hire maids, and since this is the case, it is impossible to let her go on the road alone.
Outside the vineyard town, one had to pass through a grove of trees, and soon after Little Red Riding Hood and the maid entered the woods, they heard the rustling of the trees beside them.
"Who?" The maid looked warily at the bushes by the side of the road.
"It's me." Then I saw a burly man leading a large dog out of the bushes.
"It's you." The maid breathed a sigh of relief and recognized him as the town's lumberjack, and everyone knew that he was a man of integrity.
"Hello, Little Red Riding Hood, where are you going?" The lumberjack asked.
"My grandma is sick and I'm going to visit her." Little Red Riding Hood had little defense against lumberjacks.
"I see, what a good boy who is filial." The lumberjack smiled and nodded, then suddenly said:
"Little Red Riding Hood, look how beautiful this forest is, the flowers on the ground are colorful, and the birds on the trees are singing, don't ignore the scenery next to you because you are in a hurry!"
After hearing this, Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but look at the surrounding woods, and immediately felt that this place was really beautiful, and wanted to take a closer look around. ap.
At this time, the maid said, "Miss, Madame has specially explained to you, you should hurry up and deliver the food to the old lady."
Little Red Riding Hood paused, then couldn't help but look around, and said, "Anyway, it's still early, maybe I can pick some flowers for grandma, she will be very happy to see it, and she won't delay too much."
"This ......," the maid hesitated.
"Just for a moment." Little Red Riding Hood said.
"Okay." The maid did not refute in the end, after all, Little Red Riding Hood was also the little master of the family, and she was very pampered, so she didn't dare to be too strict.
Little Red Riding Hood and the maid went to pick flowers, but they did not notice that the lumberjack had quietly left, and when they had left their sight, they suddenly landed on their hands and feet, and ran like wild beasts in the direction of the vineyard.
But at this moment, a man stood in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Werewolf."
There are many versions of the story about Little Red Riding Hood, most of which Locke has seen, including this version with the lumberjack, who is a villain.
Locke revealed the identity of the other party, and was thinking about how to tell him the queen's invitation, when the lumberjack stood up and said with a smile:
"Sir, you have mistaken someone, I am a lumberjack and have lived here......
With that, the lumberjack suddenly lunged at Locke, and in the process, his whole body began to change.
The scalp split from both sides, and a wolf's head emerged, its sharp fangs flashing with cold light, and the toes of its hands and feet turned into wolf claws, and its body swelled, stretching open the skin on its original body.
In just a moment, the lumberjack turned into a werewolf and quickly pounced on Locke, two sharp wolf claws aimed at Locke's chest, intending to give
He came with a disembowelment.
