Chapter 620: Deterioration
PS: Thank you for the monthly pass, thank you for your support!
"It's ridiculous that stupid goblin thinks we're scared of it!" Belmond snorted heavily, "If it weren't for the fact that our elite warriors were guarding the most dangerous places day and night and couldn't get out, how could the sharp-clawed werewolf let Kuro be so arrogant!"
"But...... If the environment is so dangerous, why don't you consider a different place?" asked Melissa, a little puzzled.
"It's nothing more than water and food," Leon said suddenly, "these two things are the basis of the survival of any living thing, and they must be even more important in a place like the Pale Mountains." ”
"You're right," Belmond glanced at the other and nodded slowly, "In the Pale Mountains, near every water source is the most suitable place to survive, but also the most dangerous place, only the powerful races can have a place, and the Sharpclaw Werewolf is one of them. ”
"But you have also paid a certain price, and you have to risk the danger that may arise at any time in the future," Leon said, "That's why you are willing to endure the deception of some people in the Chaos City, and exchange the minerals in your territory for some necessary materials, in order to use a single means to increase the strength of the sharp-clawed werewolves, so as to maintain a favorable position in the battle for water sources." ”
Belmond looked at the young man again, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes.
"It's easy to guess," Leon said with a smile sensing the other man's gaze.
The werewolf leader withdrew his gaze a little unnaturally, and only after a moment did he whisper, "Yes." I admit that there is indeed a big gap between the current sharp-clawed werewolf and a few years ago, and we have to rely on some external forces, but those minerals are deep in the earth. Approaching the Mother Spider Cave, we are all risking our lives to transport to the surface, which is not a gratitude!"
Belmond even had to explain this, and Leon was a little speechless at the sense of honor of this werewolf, shook his head and said, "I understand, since the minerals are in your territory, they belong to you. It doesn't need to be specified. ”
"I want to take the liberty of asking, you said that the strength of the sharp-clawed werewolves is declining year by year, is it related to the fallen werewolves?"
The werewolf leader was about to look over for the third time. However, it suppressed its impulse and lowered its head slightly, acknowledging the other party's judgment, but it didn't seem too willing to respond to similar questions.
Melissa spoke. The little girl is very well-behaved. Knowing that Belmond treats her differently than others, he always asks Leon what he wants to know when the time is right.
"Are the Fallen Werewolves powerful? Are they near your territory? a race of werewolves, or a race similar to werewolves?"
Sure enough, the barrage of questions only made Belmond frown slightly, and a moment later it answered Melissa's question.
"Actually, fallen werewolves are werewolves themselves, but they don't have a fixed station, and they always wander around. Every time it suddenly appeared in our territory......"
The werewolf leader spoke as if he were stuck in a memory, in the rest of his narrative. The number of these fallen werewolves is not large each time, but the individual strength is very strong, and it is like having a different grudge from ordinary werewolves, and the way of fighting is quite cruel, and he will never give up until the last one dies, and he will desperately kill more werewolves, which makes Belmond, who thinks he is fierce, ashamed of himself.
Fortunately, the strength of the Sharpclaw Patriarch was outstanding, and there were still a few strong men of the older generation at that time, who blocked most of the attacks and killed the other party one by one, so as not to let these fallen werewolves kill in the group. However, there is one thing that is quite troublesome, although werewolves have the talent of self-healing, but the injuries caused by fallen werewolves to them are extremely difficult to heal, even a small wound will not heal for a long time, and may even worsen, so many werewolves do not die on the battlefield, but die in the torment of injuries a few months later, so as long as the fallen werewolves appear once, it is equivalent to a weakening of the number of sharp-clawed werewolves.
“...... Why is this happening?" Melissa's face darkened, and she couldn't help but say.
"Why...... I can't say it for a moment," Belmond paused, "and if you want to know, ask my father, the Patriarch of Basel, and maybe he'll sue you." ”
Belmond's meaning is obvious - if Melissa is sure that she has the blood of the Golden Wolf Clan, then she and her father Basel should be considered half "kindred", and it is only natural for the Werewolf to tell her some secrets. If Melissa is not related to the Golden Wolf Clan, then she is not qualified to know these secrets.
“...... All right," Melissa was silent, but soon she looked up again, and said in a whisper, "Captain...... Can we ......?"
Before she could say anything, Belmond heard her intentions and said in a low voice: "No, the sharp-clawed werewolves don't need any sympathy and mercy, if necessary, we are happy to fight for the survival of the clan until the last moment of life, this is the life of a werewolf worth remembering." ”
Melissa closed her mouth a little reluctantly, and her eyes couldn't help but sneak a glance at the young man's back.
Leon remained silent during the conversation between Melissa and the werewolf leader, he knew this little girl very well, and knew that after hearing Belmond's account of the recent situation, she felt that the situation of the werewolves was a little bad, so he felt sympathy, but he didn't want to ask his opinion directly in front of them, so he hesitated for a long time.
In fact, it can be seen from one point that Melissa has developed some kind of intimacy with these werewolves who may have the same blood as her, otherwise she would definitely not take the initiative to speak with her character.
"So...... Although Melissa doesn't pay much attention to her life experience, in fact, there is still a trace of yearning in her heart, this is a blood-related relationship, and it is not something that you can not mind if you don't mind," Li Ang couldn't help but sigh when he thought of some things about himself.
But he wasn't prepared to say anything about it. On the one hand, because werewolves are creatures full of honor, it is too proud to say that it is too proud, and if others take the initiative to help, it may even cause their dissatisfaction.
In addition, in fact, his knowledge of werewolves so far is only limited to Belmond, after all, they belong to the natives of the Pale Mountains, and now they are not showing hostility more than half because of Melissa, and what is the true character hidden under this appearance, and what is the real intention of expressing Xiàn's strong intention to take Melissa away, it is still unknown, how to find out first.
"What's more, if Melissa has nothing to do with the so-called Golden Wolf Clan, then it doesn't necessarily have to be involved in such a big trouble, don't I think I have enough trouble?"
So he decided that it would be better to wait until he arrived at the werewolf's territory and see the Basel patriarch before making plans. (To be continued......)
