Chapter 3: Silver-Eyed Cross
Watson's size grew, his bracelets and anklets cracked, and the hair on his legs grew at a visible rate.
In the face of Watson's sudden change in size, Cross showed no fear. How can he, who only wants to kill his opponent, be afraid?
However, at this moment, Watson turned around sensitively and ran away.
Cross paused for a second and immediately followed. He didn't know what the big man was going to do, but he knew exactly what he was going to do, and now was the perfect time to make a sneak attack.
It's just that Watson was too fast, and he ran out of the cellar early.
When Cross came out, he was shocked by the image of the big man.
This one, called Watson, is not a human at all, but a brutal subhuman race - werewolves.
Although the world that Cross knows has no magic and magic, there are many species in this world, and there are many subhuman races alone, and werewolves are one of them.
The werewolf in front of him was covered with silver hair, and his body was larger than before.
He had three scars on the left side of his face, and a pair of crimson eyes were staring at the little Cross.
As for Cross, he finally regained his composure when he saw Watson for what he really was.
In his opinion, he who has activated the power of the bloodline is definitely more than capable of dealing with ordinary humans, but it is not so easy to deal with werewolves.
Moreover, he also realized a very important point, is the power to suddenly kill the necromancer just now?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but swallow.
Running may be the best choice right now.
But at this moment, the werewolf spoke, "My name is Watson, and as you can see, I am a werewolf.
Thank you for killing the necromancer and freeing me again.
However, I hope you have dispelled the idea of killing me. You're strong, but I'm not weak either. ”
With that, Watson threw a small object at Cross. After the latter took it, he couldn't help but ask, "Wolf Fang?"
"This is the amulet of our tribe, given to you. ”
With that, Watson turned to leave, and he ran faster on all fours, and the werewolf quickly burrowed into the woods and disappeared from Cross's field of vision.
Moonlit, Cross stared blankly ahead, surprised that Watson could see through his murderous aura, and that Watson could judge each other's combat strength.
However, he didn't understand why such a powerful Watson was controlled by a necromancer, and he didn't understand why Watson left in a hurry.
It's just that none of this is too important, the important thing is that Watson is a werewolf, and Cross's secret will not spread in the realm of humans. What's more, a vicious battle was avoided.
Cross retracted his thoughts, he didn't have time to think too much, and now he was still not out of danger. He didn't know where he was, he didn't know how much time had passed since he was killed and he was resurrected, and he couldn't feel safe without this information.
He glanced around, and there were woods all around him, except for the cellar behind him and the wooden house on his left. This place is a secret place located in the middle of the mountain forest.
After getting a general idea of his surroundings, he immediately rushed back to the cellar chamber, picked up the torch that had fallen on the ground, and began to examine the chamber carefully.
In the center of the chamber is an oval-shaped stone slab, which presumably serves as a necromancer's workbench for necromantic experiments. In the corners are piles of bones, presumably the waste of necromantic experiments.
These things didn't help Cross in any way, what he needed was information, all sorts of information.
Fortunately, the Chamber of Secrets now does have something that can provide a lot of information, and that is the corpse of a necromancer.
He dragged the body whole to the mouth of the cellar and began to search.
The ring worn by the wizard immediately caught Cross's attention, a ring with an 'O' shaped snake engraved on the surface.
This ring is not an ordinary ring, it represents a mysterious organization - endless reincarnation. This is what Cross has learned in the Academy, and there is only a little information about this organization.
He put away the ring and continued his search.
The other things on the wizard are of little use.
After completing the search, Cross retrieved dead leaves as ignition and set the Necromancer's body on fire.
He didn't want to destroy the corpse, he was just worried that the necromancer would also be resurrected, and in order to eliminate possible hidden dangers in the future, it was necessary to completely destroy the corpse of the enemy.
For various reasons, the burning did not last long, and the wizard's body was not completely ashed, however, most of the corpse was already charred, and even the exposed white bones could be seen.
Even if such a body is resurrected, it will not have any combat power, and the disposal of the corpse is completed.
Cross arrives at the cabin and begins a new search.
He found a letter on the wizard's desk, which read:
The Great Leader Harriman, the body of Silver-Eyed Cross has arrived at the Castle of Death, and tonight, he will reach the Twilight Mountains and be reborn under the great necromancy.
Next, the organization can follow the original plan.
You should know very well that Cross's corpse is the only bargaining chip for the organization to control Klein's territory, and I am the only one who can bring Cross back to life.
I'm telling you this, just hoping you can understand that I'm not asking too much.
The only wizard in the organization, Eddard.
The name of the place in the letter allowed Cross to quickly guess where it was.
The Dusk Mountains were the border between the Quesman Empire and the Kingdom of Seajarda.
To the southwest of the mountain range is the Kingdom of Seajarta, and to the northeast of the mountain range is the county of Klein, which belonged to the Quesman Empire.
The Dusk Mountains act as a natural barrier that separates most of the bordering areas between the two countries. However, the real reason why it is called a barrier is not the mountains themselves, but the devil that is entrenched in the mountains.
As a child, Cross often heard stories about the devils in the Twilight Mountains, not to scare naughty children, but to dissuade adventurers who thought they were brave.
But even so, every year, there are still many adventurers who advance into the Dusk Mountains, carrying out adventures with no return.
In addition to the Dusk Mountains, there is a small strip of plains bordering the two countries. The first emperor of the empire established a fortress on this site and named it the Bungaku.
The Emperor hoped that the fortress would never fall, and that it would unite with the Dusk Mountains to keep the kingdom of Seatta out forever.
Historically, it is true that the fort has never been captured.
Today's Castle of Immortality is the largest fortress in Klein's territory.
Cross is now at the southeastern end of the Dusk Mountains, close to the forest of the Bungaku.
As for the organization mentioned in the letter, it is highly likely that it refers to endless reincarnation.
It's just that he doesn't understand why Endless Reincarnation can control the Klein Territory just by using the body of his earl's eldest son.
In Cross's opinion, even if his father died, he would definitely not be the next lord of Klein's lord.
Because, when Cross was five years old, his father announced Cross's life to the entire Klein Collar:
Cross Klein, the adopted son of Thor Crane, has no title or territorial inheritance. The one who has the right to inherit is the biological son of Soth who is about to be born.
This announcement by Earl Crane also gave Cross a title - Silver-Eyed Cross.
