Chapter 178 Finally Met the Werewolf

Because he met the soldiers of the Holy See, Locke didn't dare to enter the town ostentatiously. Instead, he changed his attire and redressed himself. Then he came to a tavern in the town, ordered a glass of wine and listened quietly.

"Have you heard? Another person disappeared in the town yesterday."

"Really, this is the eighth this month."

"In recent days, the Holy See has sent many knights to the town to repeatedly search for suspicious people."

"Some devil must have sneaked into the town, and the man-eating devil would devour a person alive every day!"

"Don't talk nonsense, the pastor said it was because a murderous killer came to the town recently, and the knights of the Holy See are tracking the murderer."

"Those knights who searched said the same thing. They also said that the murderer had a strange disease and was very sensitive to silver. Now those knights will sprinkle silver powder on suspicious people."

"It turned out to be like this. No wonder Sir Knight came to my house a few days ago and sprinkled everyone with silver powder."

"I heard that as long as you find clues about the murderer and report to the church, as long as the clues are true, you will be rewarded with ten gold coins!"

"Really? That's ten gold coins, enough to build a nice house."

"Yeah, I don't know if I can be lucky enough to find clues to the murderer. If I really find out, I will get rich."

"Hehe, when you really find the clues, I'm afraid the murderer has already sent you to hell."

"Who said, I'm Jerry the Speedy, no one can run faster than me, the murderer will definitely not be able to catch up with me!"

……

Hearing these townspeople talking here, Locke guessed that the knights of the Holy See hadn't found the werewolves for too long, and that silver was what the werewolves were afraid of, which made him feel a little relieved.

Locke didn't stay in the tavern for too long, because he found that the residents of the small town seem to be very wary of outsiders. He only sat for a while, and soon many people began to look at him with scrutiny.

"I didn't expect the outsider's identity to be so eye-catching, but it's not surprising, after all, in such a social environment, the population flow is not frequent, and there are few outsiders in ordinary towns.

Coupled with the fact that the Holy See is now looking for the so-called 'murderer' with great fanfare, the spirits of these townspeople have become tense. "

Locke was walking on the only main road in the town, while thinking this way, he began to think about how to find the werewolf again.

The queen asked Locke to find the werewolf of the Golden Family to see if he could persuade the werewolf to join the Kingdom of Lawrence, but she only knew that the werewolf was active around here.

So how to find the werewolf of the golden family faster than the Holy See, and bring him back, is a test for Locke.

"La la la..."

At this moment, a pleasant and clear voice came from not far in front. Locke looked up and found that it was a very cute little girl.

This little girl has a pair of sapphire blue eyes, an innocent smile on her small face, and a red hat on her head.

"Little Red Riding Hood, what are you going to do?" At this moment, a person next to her stopped the little girl, which also caught Locke's attention.

"Little Red Riding Hood?" Locke was slightly taken aback. Could it be the story of Little Red Riding Hood?Could it be that the werewolf of the golden family that he was looking for was the big bad wolf?
Among the fairy tales that Locke has read, there is no description related to werewolves, but he is not surprised by the existence of werewolves.

After all, although he has never seen witches, elves, giants, monsters, or even dragons, he has heard of some from the queen, including classic werewolves and vampires.

The werewolves and vampires in the fairy tale world are quite miserable, because the main range of activities is in the east, and they became the target of the Holy See when it was established.

Werewolves are now an endangered species. As for vampires, anyway, the queen doesn't know they still exist.

It's just that Locke didn't expect that the werewolf was actually related to the story of Little Red Riding Hood. The werewolf that the Holy See is now tracking, in Locke's view, is probably the only remaining werewolf with golden blood.

Thinking of this, Locke began to pay attention to Little Red Riding Hood, secretly watching her whereabouts.

Little Red Riding Hood's family is considered a wealthy family in the town, and there is a very nice vineyard outside the town.

Today, Little Red Riding Hood's mother put the prepared snacks and wine into the basket, covered it with a clean cloth, and then said to Little Red Riding Hood:
"Little Red Riding Hood, grandma is sick in the vineyard outside the town, take these things to visit grandma."

"Okay, Mom." Little Red Riding Hood said very obediently.

"Grandma is very weak now and needs a good rest. While it's still early, go and give things to grandma so that she can recuperate well and recover as soon as possible." Mom continued to urge.

"I know Mom, I will be very careful and polite." Little Red Riding Hood nodded obediently, and set foot on the journey with a maid at home.

This point is different from the fairy tale, but it's normal to think about it. Little Red Riding Hood has enough money to hire a maid at home. Since this is the case, it is impossible for her to go on the road alone.

Outside Vineyard Town, if you want to get there, you have to pass through a small forest. Not long after Little Red Riding Hood and the maid entered the forest, they heard the sound of rustling in the nearby bushes.

"Who?" The maid looked warily at the bushes beside the road.

"It's me." Then I saw a burly man walking out of the bushes leading a big dog.

"So it's you." The maid breathed a sigh of relief, and recognized him as the town's lumberjack. Everyone knew that he was an upright person.

"Well, Little Red Riding Hood, where are you going?" asked the woodcutter.

"My grandma is sick, and I'm going to visit her." Little Red Riding Hood had little defense against the lumberjack.

"So that's the case, he is really a good and filial boy." The woodcutter nodded with a smile, and then suddenly said:

"Little Red Riding Hood, look at how beautiful this forest is, the flowers on the ground are colorful, and the birds singing in the trees are so beautiful, don't ignore the surrounding scenery just because you are in a hurry!"

After hearing these words, Little Red Riding Hood couldn't help but look at the surrounding woods, and suddenly felt that this place was really beautiful, and wanted to take a closer look around.

At this time, the maid said: "Miss, madam has specifically told you to hurry up and deliver the food to the old madam."

Little Red Riding Hood paused, then couldn't help looking around, and said, "Anyway, it's still early, maybe I can pick some flowers for grandma, she will be very happy when she sees it, and it won't take too much time."

"This..." The maid began to hesitate.

"Just a moment," said Little Red Riding Hood.

"Okay." The maid didn't retort in the end. After all, Little Red Riding Hood was also the little master of the family, and she was very doted on. She didn't dare to be too strict.

Little Red Riding Hood and the maid went to pick flowers, but they didn't notice that the woodcutter had left quietly, and after leaving their sight, they suddenly landed on their hands and feet, and ran towards the vineyard as quickly as a wild beast.

But at this moment, a person stood in front of him: "Hello, Mr. Werewolf."

There are many versions of the story of Little Red Riding Hood, and Locke has seen most of them. Among them is this version of the lumberjack, who is a villain.

Locke revealed the identity of the other party in one sentence, and was thinking about how to tell him the queen's invitation. At this time, the woodcutter stood up and said with a smile:

"Sir, you have misunderstood me. I am a lumberjack and have already lived here..."

Having said that, the lumberjack suddenly rushed towards Locke, and in the process, his whole body began to change.

The scalp was split from both sides, and a wolf's head protruded. The sharp fangs gleamed coldly, and the toes of the hands and feet turned into wolf claws.

In a short moment, the lumberjack turned into a werewolf, and quickly pounced on Locke, aiming two sharp wolf claws at Locke's chest, intending to disembowel him.
