Chapter 104 Wolf Witch
The next morning, Cheese and the others began to get up to meet the hermit. The reason why the city lord prepared clothes for the mage and his group last night was all for the preparation of this meeting. According to the city lord Wolf, the hermit hated the most was the mercenary and the mage. It was because Sandor and the city lord himself were walking in the harp-headed collar in this image. The clothes of the nobles and the army could at least make the other party disgusted with Cheese and the others at first sight.
"Actually, I'm very curious. What did the city lord and Sand do to make this hermit feel annoying when he sees the mercenary." Elsa said on the way to the hermit's residence provided by Wolf. Although this hermit had a special status in the Iron Fort, he lived in a slum in the outer city. It would take some time to get there from the inner city.
"It's hard to say. Sometimes reality is more tortuous than the poems in the mouths of those minstrels. What's more, the hermit still lives in the Iron Castle, which means that he doesn't hate Sand and the others. I think this is why the city lord thinks we have the opportunity to convince him." Jack, who was leaning on a wooden cane, tried to analyze it with reason.
"Hey, who said that the hermit must be a man? Maybe it was a lady. If so, the affairs of her and the city lord might be even more exciting back then." Gossip is always human nature, and even the warriors as Frost Guards were no exception. Mona guessed with a sly smile on her face.
"Okay, no matter what life has happened in the past, we are going to meet a wolf walker hermit with a strange temperament. I hope you will be better off controlling yourself." Cheese, who was devoted to the negotiations later, interrupted. He had no interest in the city lord Shande and the past of this hermit. In his opinion, if it weren't for the wolf walker's ability to effectively help the mage investigate the attacks that the Iron Castle was facing, Cheese would not waste time visiting the hermit. You should know that their original purpose was to go to the capital of the Cang Lion Kingdom. Now the group of people in the Iron Castle had been delayed for three days due to these trivial matters. Although Cheese had successfully suppressed the spread of the plague when he left the Count Saron's leadership, no one knew how long the medicines sown into the Dragon Blood Creek could be used. Thinking of this, the mage even had the urge to leave the Iron Castle immediately.
etc!
Cheese suddenly realized that something was wrong with his thoughts just now. As a spell caster who deals with mysterious unknown things, Cheese's psychological quality is definitely not loopholes. The anxiety like the one just now should not appear in his mind so naturally. Thinking of this, a cold sweat broke out from behind the mage. Who used what method to affect his mind? Cheese began to look around quietly, hoping to find out the abnormality.
At this time, the group had already entered the slum, surrounded by the residents of the Iron Fort who had gotten up early and started working hard for a day's meal. It can be seen that the management of the Iron Fort is still good. Although it is called a slum, it is also a place name that has been used in the past. Compared with those slums filled with beggars, wanderings, and thieves and robbers, the residents of the Iron Fort have at least a job to make a living. This also shows that the Lord Wolf may really have two tricks in governing government affairs. However, because of the large crowds around, it is difficult for Cheese to find what he wants to find in such a noisy environment.
"Speaking of it, is that dog always following us?" Jack suddenly whispered. As a scout in the team, the "monkey" has always maintained a certain degree of vigilance towards the surrounding environment. It is precisely because of this instinct trained in the dense forest that Jack is very sensitive to the gaze and subtle sound. Since he just entered the slum, almost all the people who had been staying on the group for five seconds were within his alert range. However, this time the target he found was not a human, but a big black dog that had been following the group not far away.
"That's... a wolfhound?" Following the subtle physical movements of his companion, Mona also saw the dog in Jack's mouth. As a family living near Longji Mountain, the dogs guarding the house are also an indispensable equipment for every household. Among these various dogs selected and integrated by time, the large hunting dogs, known as wolfhounds, are representatives of the entire Cangliu Kingdom. Not only hunters, but even the nobles who like hunting are proud to be able to domesticate the wolfhounds with pure blood. Why does this precious breed appear in the slums of the Iron Fort? Although the dog's gray hair is covered with mud and other stains, this cannot prevent the female warrior from recognizing the purity of its blood.
"That's right, it's a wolfhound. If you don't even say it, you'll need a silver coin. People in these cities can't recognize them, but I will definitely not admit it." As a hunter, the selection of hounds is simply a basic skill. In Jack's eyes, the value of this wolfhound is definitely not something that can be measured by money. A hound that cooperates properly with his owner is no less than the hunter's second life. And because of this, the existence of this hound makes the "monkey" notice it.
"You mean, there is a dog behind us?" At this time, Cheese suddenly interrupted. The mage's words seemed to suddenly become nervous, as if it was terrible to be followed by a dog.
"Yes, and it's a purebred wolfhound. I said, how about we catch this dog if we have time? It doesn't look like it has a master." Jack's saliva was almost flowing out when he said this. He really liked this dog. If it weren't for Cheese's instructions that he wouldn't leave the team without authorization, he might have gone to catch the dog.
"Catching a dog? It's impossible. If I'm right, the dog you saw should have a master. And its owner is the hermit we are looking for." The mage whispered.
"What? How is it possible? Why does a wolf walker raise a wolfhound?" She had heard of the famous boss of the wolfhound for a long time, and she also asked in a low voice.
"I don't know much about the wolfhound, but I know that there are some talented existences in Wolf Walker. In addition to transforming into wolves, they have some other tricks. The most famous of them is to tame those canine animals. The wolf walker with this ability has a special name, Wolf Witch." Cheese's face didn't seem to be joking. He continued, "Wolf Witch is an extremely rare existence. A wolf witch will usually become the core of a certain Wolf Walker tribe. Is there a lonely wolf witch here?"
