Chapter Thirty-Three, Shadow Dire Wolf(1/2)
As usual, the lord's mansion does not welcome foreigners.
Sid needs to constantly show his white hair and blue eyes and his unique wolf accent. He knows that this will become the norm in the future. Unlike Rizlan's native dog nobles, the werewolf is very proud even if they are poor. They are not easy to respect the "white-headed guys", at least the wolf nobles will not.
It was easier to convince the butler to climb the thick, slightly decayed wooden sport escalator under his leadership, and felt the shaking touch under his feet. Sid said carefully: "I feel like I'm about to fall."
"Sir, please get used to it." The housekeeper left a big bald head and said embarrassedly and politely when Sid complained about him: "You must have been away from your hometown for too long and have forgotten the glorious tradition of our evil werewolf."
"Glorious tradition? Let me think, oh, is it the saying, 'If something is not broken, there is no need to be repaired'?" Sid smiled.
"Yes." The housekeeper led Sid to the second floor: "The Baron is inside, please."
The door was lightly clasped, and the sound was dull: "See Mr. Azekel Abaddon, please see me."
The Baron Osolèrei, named Silicik, was tall and burly, with a thick golden beard, wearing a thick cotton coat of half old, and the erectile slap on his shoulders could illustrate his status. When he looked up from the complicated book, he quickly looked away after a moment of looking at Sid.
"Wood, I told you that we need manpower, but obviously we don't need white hair." This sentence did not say to Sid, but to the butler: "We can't afford his wages."
Then he stood up: "Welcome to Osorlei, no matter why you come."
"I just passed by here." Sid could see that the other party was not very welcome. He controlled his words: "It's a peaceful and peaceful place. I can't help but make me want to stop here. Judging from the current situation, you must have spent a lot of energy. I believe you are a fair and wise lord, so I came to visit."
"The evil wolf does not welcome people who make a living with their tongues. The great Romani is on..." The baron straightened his body, leaned against the wolf's backrest chair, and reached out to touch his snuff bottle.
He picked up the candle and Sid threw it away and shook his wrists continuously. In the daze of the Baron, the candle fell on the table.
The whole candle is neatly cut into seven segments, nearly the same size, and is neatly placed on the table and arranged in rows.
The Baron immediately stood up, his eyes flashed with respect: "Welcome to Osoreli, my territory."
The strong will be respected at any time: "What can I do for you?"
"I'm here for the Shadow Dread Wolf." Sid reached out and pulled the chair and sat down, signaling the Baron to sit down.
"Shadow Wolf?" The Baron's face showed joy, but immediately turned joy into anger: "Shadow Wolf? Are you going to kill the Shadow Wolf? Mr. Abaddon, the Shadow Wolf is my property in my forest. Could it be that you can kill it just by saying that you can kill it?"
"Then you can hire someone to solve the problem yourself." Sid spread his hands and made a helpless statement: "I really want to help you, but I can't do it in vain without paying."
"The dire wolf is a symbol of my priest of the wolves! If you want to kill our totem of the wolves in my forest, you are so embarrassed to ask me for money?" The baron was very angry, as if Sid helped him solve the dire wolf, it seemed that it had become an infringement of his legal rights.
"I understand your difficulties, Lord Baron, look at my hands and listen to my accent. I was also born in the Principality of Wolfs. I was born here and raised here. For me, the forests here, the fields here, and the hills here are all my home." Sid said with a deep voice: "Shadow Dread Wolf? That's my family! I actually want to attack my family. Do you know how much spiritual condemnation I have to endure? Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land deeply!"
The muscles on the Baron's face twitched.
He was disgusted by the Mr. Azekel Abaddon in front of him.
Very good, we are worthy of being our evil werewolf.
"Then I may not be able to afford your expenses here. Mr. Azekel Abaddon, please do not interfere with the internal affairs of your skills." The Baron signaled that Sid could get out.
"Yes, I think you should ask for a clever one more person." Sid smiled and nodded: "But I'll remind you at the end that you can continue to act like nothing happened, wait until the dire wolf eats your woodcutter, wait until the dire wolf arranges your hunter, wait until the dire wolf swallows all the other animals in your forest into your belly, and then you take your soldiers to search the forest with your carpet-style search. Even a fully armed knight squad cannot guarantee that there will be no casualties in the dire wolf pack, you can go on the battle yourself...or, can you consider professionals?"
"Whether I'm considering professionals is my business." The Baron was moved, but was still tough.
"We all know that the mercenaries will not come to the Duchy of Wolfs, and we also know that the lord's duty is to defend his territory." Sid said indifferently: "Maybe you can wait for another year to wait until the next person who is willing to help you solve your problem? Family?"
"You're enough... Well, I'll give you 8 Jin'ejus and send the head of the shadowy dire wolf to me!" The Baron finally let go, and he said helplessly while sitting on the chair.
"That's my family! I have to add more money!" Sid emphasized the importance of his family to him, and his face was full of compassion: "I can't do it without 50 Jin'erju!"
"10!" The Baron roared, his voice hoarse: "You are all things including wolf skin, right?"
"make a deal."
The two parties shook hands and the transaction was reached. Sid took the power of attorney and put it in his pocket.
Before leaving the door, Baron Silicik said, "Mr. Abaddon, be careful, five young men have died under the shadowy dire wolf. When we find their bodies, they are judged based on their clothes."
"I understand." Sid nodded.
After leaving the lord's mansion, Sid made preparations.
Shadow Death Wolf, challenge level: model level, is a mutant species of the Timberwolf's advanced dire wolf.
Traces of dire wolves can be found in most forest grasslands in the Orbis world. It is said that these creatures have much longer history than humans and are the most terrifying predators in the wilderness. Unlike the previous timberwolves, once they advanced to dire wolves, they no longer like to forage in groups, but like to act alone to attack prey.
The characteristics of the dire wolf are fast speed, attack first, strong lethality, and weak endurance.
Compared with the dire wolf, the shadow dire wolf has another ability, that is, the ability to stealth.
Sid first found the grocery store in the town, arranged some potions here, and then found the local tenant, and spent 6 copper Finneys to buy a big rooster who likes to call.
He needs some bait to make the Shadow Divine Wolf appear.
It is worth mentioning that the nobles of the Duchy of Wolf like to hunt with prisoners or criminals from other countries. For example, Sid has seen the great nobles of Wolf use captured prisoners of the Duchy of Wallace as bait, hurting his thighs and causing him to blood to be placed in the hunting ground to lure prey.
This was almost unforgivable in Sid's previous life, but it was really common in this world.
The werewolf doesn't think this is a bad thing.
Sid is naturally not inferior enough to use living people to experiment, he can just use a rooster to imitate bait.
The Black Forest of the Principality of the Wolf always gives Sid a familiar feeling.
The Black Forest is different from the coniferous forests in Rezlan. It is not as tall or cold as Rezlan. It has snowed in many places in the coniferous forests of Rezlan in October. The Black Forest in the Principality of Wolfs is still a little time away from snowing, but it is much more gloomy than Rezlan. The black forest here becomes airtight after entering deeper, the light is very dim, with bushes and the roads become narrower.
Sid moved towards the depths of the Black Forest step by step, the weeds on the roadside drew through his clothes and chain armor, and the dense branches made him sometimes have to take out his daggers to trim the road.
"It seems that the threat of Shadow Dread Wolf is indeed very high. It should have been a while since no one has tried to enter the depths of the forest." Sid, with the Falcon Eye, judged the footprints of the path and shook his head repeatedly.
After walking for another five minutes, the body of a horse was lying across the roadside. Sid immediately squatted down and lit his own fire note, and inspected the body of the horse through the Eye of the Falcon.
"A pack horse? Look at the mouth of the teeth, it's not a good horse."
"The wound on the neck is the deepest, and most of the flesh and blood on the abdomen is eaten... The dire wolf launched an attack while it was drinking water. There was only one enemy, not a group, otherwise the whole horse should have been eaten by the wolves."
"The weather is cold and the degree of rot is not high. Some wounds are new and some are old. Maybe predators will visit them again."
very good.
Sid immediately arranged the scene. He was not a professional monster hunter and could not do so in detail. He simply tied the rooster next to the dead horse with a thin rope, made out a little chicken blood to let the smell go out, and he found a nearby place where he could observe, and then took out the potion and sprayed it on his clothes to cover up his smell.
The beautiful white-haired boy sat down like this, waiting quietly for the arrival of his prey. This time may only take a few minutes, or several hours.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sid took out the Holy Grail of Nightmare and carefully observed the artifact that would be bound to him for the rest of his life.
Um?
Sid's pupils instantly widened.
The slurry in the Holy Grail of Nightmare of Sin has recovered?
A layer of colorful cocktail-like slurry covered the black and red devil's residual filth.
No! I confirmed that before entering Osorlei town, I only had one gulp, why are there two gulp now? He did not kill after entering the town!
Could it be said that you can restore the Holy Grail of Sin Nightmare by just seeing and hearing?
If this is true, then the power of this virtual realm artifact... Sid was still thinking about it, and footsteps came from afar.
He immediately held his breath and left the Holy Grail of the Nightmare of Sin behind in advance.
In the black forest, something is slowly approaching.
A huge dire wolf appeared from the bushes. It was about 1.6 meters long and nearly one meter tall. Its bright red eyes, strong limbs, and its open bloody mouth kept dripping saliva. It slowly approached, and its vigilant eyes looked around.
What is most noticeable is the back of the dire wolf. The back of the evil beast is ink-like painted black, covering half of its body. The black hair spreads to the abdomen before gradually turning into dark blue, light blue and white on the legs.
Shadow Death Wolf, a mutant species of Death Wolf, not only does this creature become faster after mutating, but also has an active skill - the hair behind it can suddenly emit fog, allowing it to disappear for a short time.
So this thing is difficult to deal with. The dire wolf is already fast, has the ability to attack first, and can escape invisibly. Regular soldiers need carpet-style searches, and the Baron himself has no confidence in winning.
The Shadow Wolf seemed very alert. It already had initial wisdom. When she saw that there was a living injured rooster next to her food storage, the Shadow Wolf continued to growl, but she did not pounce on her.
The very vigilant guy, Sid considered that his trap might not work. After all, he was not a professional trap master, and the trap he made was somewhat obvious. Wolves are cunning animals and would not be so easy to be fooled.
Gently apply the beast sword oil to the blade of the Swift Sword, Sid tried to reduce his movements.
Hate mark!
"Roar~" The shadowy dire wolf was slowly approaching the big rooster. When it smelled the smell of the chicken with its nose, intending to confirm what it was, a reflective cold light immediately aroused the dire wolf's vigilance. It suddenly retreated with four feet and slid behind it.
The tip of the swift sword broke through the air, piercing the afterimage left by the shadow dire wolf!
"Tsk." Sid spat, and he immediately slid sideways behind him. The sharp teeth of the shadowy dire wolf also bit the air in the air. The beautiful white-haired boy immediately rolled horizontally, and his sharp claws slashed on the corner of Sid's clothes and smashed on the ground, causing mud to break.
OK, one bite and one pounce, it’s now!
Sid turned over, recycled the quick sword, swung the blade, backed the wrist, flipped it, and gave it forward.
Spiral thorn!
The elastic blade instantly pierced through the shadowy dick wolf's waist, and the stinky wolf blood splashed out. The Swift Sword left a deep visible bone-breathing scar on the dick wolf's waist!
"Woooooooooooo~" Shadow Death Wolf's pain continued to whimper. The wild beast sword oil took effect. This sword oil would bring a strong tingling and corrosive feeling to the shadow death Wolf's wound. Sid was still waiting to pull the sword to attack again. Shadow Death Wolf didn't intend to sit and wait for the fog to die. The shadow on its back was overflowing and disappeared from its original place.
Shadow sneaks!
Sid immediately retreated and rolled horizontally to pull away the distance. He calmed down and felt the other person's position.
The Shadow Divine Wolf disappeared, but it did not disappear completely. The mark left by the engraving strike always acted on the Shadow Divine Wolf. He could feel the position of the Divine Wolf. The other party was secretly peeking at him in the bushes, as if he was hesitating whether to escape or continue attacking.
Seeing this, Sid probably aimed his back at the dire wolf.
The cold air in the black forest, the sound of swaying leaves, the soil under your feet, the fishy smell in the wind became very close and far away.
To be continued...
