Werewolf hunting rules

Living sacrifices will not affect people's memory, but making a living sacrifice to the water fairy will not necessarily affect it.

This kind of creature has the ability to play with the strings of fate. After the living sacrifices are incorporated into their bodies, they become part of their destiny, and their own existence will be confused. This is why the tomb robber's companions no longer remember him.

Clayton can remember him not only because he is the "officiant", but also because his spirit is connected with the moon.

And it was Donna who had the blessing of a unicorn that saved her from forgetting this incident.

If not, you will need powerful spiritual vision to stabilize your memory.

"Well, it was a big mistake, but for the sake of it not going very bad."

Clayton didn't say any more, and Julius was very dissatisfied with this answer, but he couldn't care less.

Although his employer did such a thing out of whim, the result was positive feedback. If he had not offered a living sacrifice to the river where Adelaide is located to revive Adelaide, then they might have You won't be able to meet this water nymph until very late in the evening.

"We need a favor from you," Donna said to Adelaide.

"Find out the owner of this necklace, or you may have a way to solve the abnormal fortune in me." Clayton shook the necklace in his hand. "After all, you accepted my sacrifice, so you should do something for me. And I suspect that you don't know everything about it."

He suspected Adelaide was lying.

The fairy accepted the living sacrifice, and she had to repay it. This was the rule, because there were constraints on the spiritual level of nature.

However, the Water Fairy remained expressionless, like a wooden mannequin on a clothing store's display. She did not deny Clayton's idea.

"I'm sorry, but accepting your call is already my contribution. The church people tried to arrest me before I could contact this land and water, so I originally planned to live in seclusion under the water and never come out again. Every time I appeared We're all at risk." She didn't say any more, but she had already expressed her needs.

"If you come to do business, you'll be rich in no time." Clayton sneered.

Adelaide is about the same age as Donna, but she is just a little girl. He should have developed a little kindness, but the change of fortune has endangered the family, including Donna. He endured two weeks of pressure and killed many people during this period. There was no room for "compassion" in his heart.

"Please don't say that, I have no choice but to do so."

Clayton was noncommittal: "Then please tell me."

"Now that you have found out my identity, can you tell me whether my father is okay now?"

"He went to Sasha City with others after you stopped showing up. Your fellow villagers thought he was looking for you." When Clayton said this, he paid more attention to Adelaide's face: "Lawrence's son Danny said that you left with a stranger and went to the city to get married. What's going on?"

"Did he say that? Oh, he must have lied to cover me. We grew up together before. He is my best friend and he knows the changes that have happened to me. And the threats I face."

At this point, Adelaide suddenly let out a slight sigh:

"To be honest, my request is related to Danny. If you see him, invite him to come to the river. I have something to say to him at the end. This is a farewell, because I will leave Gevaux soon. , but my body is still in a new state, and going ashore will make me weak, and I may be discovered by people from the church, so I want to ask you to do this for me."

Clayton did not explain that the people from the church in the city had left, and he directly agreed.

"I have another question. Sevan, the son of Padre Louis, is also missing. However, his gun was left by the river and he fired once. Perhaps you have seen what happened to him? Of course, I am speaking for Padre Louis. If you don’t want to answer this question, you can remain silent. I don’t want to pay anything for him.”

This time, Adelaide responded a little slowly, but still gave an effective reply.

"Maybe he heard about Danny's excuse, so he dueled with the stranger."

"Did you see his body?"

"No."

Adelaide's expression was impassive, like a circus puppet.

Clayton stared at her face with his yellow eyes that also possessed inhuman qualities, while at the same time rubbing his right thumb on the face of the ivory-carved girl on the necklace.

The water fairy couldn't stand this kind of gaze very well: "Sir, if you have no other questions, please leave. I think I have nothing else to say to you."

"I have another question." Donna stared at Adelaide as closely as her uncle: "Why are you unwilling to reveal your body? As far as I know, although the water nymph doesn't like dry environments, it still Not so fragile that you have to stick your head out of the water.”

The calm river water swayed slightly under the morning sun. The water waves accelerated like a train starting up, and the sound of lapping the river bank became louder and louder. The witch and the water fairy looked at each other on both sides of the boundary between dry and wet.

Adelaide turned his gaze to her—even though the nymph's lake-green eyes had no pupils, they could still feel it.

"Well—because I have no clothes on," said Adelaide.

This answer couldn't be more reasonable.

While Clayton and the others were stunned, she sank quickly and disappeared.

The water fairy didn't want to see any more visitors, so they had to go back.

After reaching a distance that even a water nymph could never detect, Clayton deliberately slowed down on the road. He saw the girl purse her lips.

"I don't believe her."

"It doesn't matter, I don't believe her either, but it is difficult to find a partner who can trust each other."

Clayton looked at Donna's pale face due to the cold, sighed softly, then took off his bowler hat and placed it on her head.

The black hat on top of the red hood looked strange, but it did make Donna a little warmer. She shrank her neck due to the pressure on her head, and turned around in confusion. The expression on Clayton's face was the same as before. It was something I had never seen before, and it was vaguely terrifying, but that look only disappeared in a flash.

What she didn't know, or what she had been ignoring, was that her uncle was not a good man.

Clayton was fairly suspicious of every stranger.

He has seen many ruthless characters and knows how people who are not mentally strong enough will behave. Therefore, even though Adelaide pretends to be very good, he can still see that this little girl is very afraid of their arrival, so she is afraid of himself and herself. The information they need is withheld.

She wanted something from them, and she didn't dare let her usefulness disappear too quickly.

Those tough tones and calm attitudes were just disguises when facing outsiders, and Adelaide was not sure of dealing with the three of them.

The stress and werewolf blood had fueled Clayton's preexisting irritable qualities, and he wouldn't even have hesitated if Donna hadn't been here. For the sake of efficiency, you can use less gentle methods to get the information you want from Adelaide, such as using the other party's old father who has gone to the city as a threat, without any remorse.

Of course it would be shameful to do so.

Clayton only remembered that this was something to be ashamed of when he saw Donna. He tried to reflect on it, but he couldn't find a reason to convince himself so far, so he decided to put aside these thoughts for the time being and continue with a normal attitude.

Donna saw the change in her uncle's face, misunderstood because of her lack of understanding of him, and began to explain why she suspected Adelaide.

"The water swamp fairies are not dark descendants like you, nor are they descendants of the moon. The dark moon will not promote the return of their power. If the descendants of the fairies want to reactivate their bloodline, they have corresponding methods."

"Usually they will find ways to enhance their spiritual power and reconnect with nature. But there is another way. The descendants of fairies who die in the water have a certain probability of awakening their power. However, this is usually not an active attempt, and even if they succeed, they They will also become evil and extreme. Compared with normal water fairies, their bodies will still have the characteristics of corpses after rebirth, but it is winter now."

Donna felt a little frustrated again when she said this.

The cold will inhibit corruption, and ordinary trauma can be easily concealed. Even if Adelaide agrees to show her body, she may not be able to tell whether the other party is a normal water fairy.

"Evil?" Clayton smiled and didn't say much.

This smile was taken as understanding, and Donna breathed a sigh of relief, raised her hand and pulled her uncle's hat down again.

"So where are we going next, to Danny?"

"No, that will happen later. Don't you want to know what we did while you were away?" Clayton's pace quickened a little, and Julius quickly realized from his direction The answer, but not what Donna was thinking, was what he expected the young wizard to do when he saw more corpses.

It's a pity that Clayton always retained a sense of warmth for his family and would not treat the scare as a gift to his niece.

"We killed five people that afternoon and hid the bodies in the woods, but the body of the animal trainer was dug out by something unknown, so now we have to check whether other bodies have also been found."

Clayton is currently facing more than one trouble, and he needs to personally investigate every one of them.

"You killed five people?! Were they all guilty?"

Donna's voice trembled.

Even though she had always thought that she would not flinch in a fight, her hands were clean and she had never seen anyone kill someone, so she would naturally not be adaptable to death.

She could accept that her uncle killed one person because of a personal conflict, but he killed five people in one afternoon. She couldn't imagine how this could happen. It made her heart beat fast. She didn't know how to treat Clayton. good.

Seeing her like this, Julius suddenly felt some sympathy and explained: "These five people are in the same group, the traveling circus to which the animal trainer belongs, but this is only their apparent identity. , they are still bounty hunters privately, and they are willing to do anything for money, including killing their competitors, but this time they have hit a brick wall."

"Not all of them were killed by us." Creighton walked in front and said, and he generously assigned Julius a share of the battle merit.

Julius also thought of the unlucky guy who implicated them: "Yes, there is one person who is not."

"Which one isn't?" Donna asked as she jogged to keep up with them.

She saw her uncle's pace gradually slow down, and finally stopped in front of an extremely thick dead tree.

Clayton looked up and looked at the shape of the tree crown, and then sniffed the nearby smell. Then under her gaze, he stepped forward again, reached into the seemingly bottomless tree hole, and pulled the The corpse inside was pulled out.

"That's it."
