The Laws of Werewolf Hunting

Chapter 198
Werewolves are a darkin race that lives in groups. When one appears, there may be other werewolves nearby.

Clayton has never seen a mature individual other than himself, so he doesn't know how to communicate and fight among werewolves.

But he calmed down quickly.

Revo had a werewolf other than him—this is just speculation, not fact.

The shape of the claws described by Adelaide, though resembling that of a werewolf, is not necessarily dissimilar to that of other beasts.In the case of a scrawny bear, its paws might also look like werewolves.It is not surprising that there are special individuals among wild animals who are shot by muskets and remember the power of man-made artifacts.The reason they thought of the werewolf immediately was that the people in the town advertised the identity of the "beast" as a werewolf, and there happened to be a werewolf beside them.

"Suspected" is still a long way from "confirmed".

In any case, they should not leave the town as frequently as this, and the chance of bumping into that monster is not high, but someone needs to be watching here.

Clayton and Adelaide had an exchange on this matter, and finally reached an agreement that the Water Fairy will stay by the river here until they leave Revo, and if they find anything abnormal, they will ask the birds in the sky to notify them.

The latter has gained some spiritual growth after devouring the life force of two living people, so it can do such a thing.Donna can do the same thing, can serve as a bridge of communication between them,

For this, Clayton paid the price by helping her find her father quickly when she returned to the city.

Adelaide had originally planned to leave this sad place, but she still had some hope that she might find her lover's body. Clayton's request made her finally decide which side to lean on.

Facing these unfamiliar partners, she finally warned in a cold voice: "As for those tomb robbers whose memories have been erased, I must tell you that their memories will gradually recover after they are far away from this section of the river. , so if you don't think about the conflict, it's best to stay away from them afterwards."

Clayton nodded, thanking her for her kindness.

She emphasized again: "I will comply with your request, because I believe in you."

"You can rest assured that I usually don't break contracts," Clayton replied, and Donna opened her mouth slightly in surprise behind his back.

Adelaide was also taken aback, then plunged into the water and disappeared into the waves.

This is obviously a way of saying goodbye. Clayton took his companions and turned around in the direction of Revo. After they had gone far, the little girl tugged at her uncle's sleeve: "Uncle, you just wanted to let her Are you angry?"

"Why do you ask that?"

"Because you said that you usually don't break the contract. When people say that, others will always think of the possibility of breaking the contract after the accident."

"Is that right?"

Clayton was taken aback. He also saw Julius' expression of approval, so he knew what Donna said was true.

He couldn't help but doubt himself: "But I've always said that, and no one has ever questioned me."

"Looks like you need to make some new friends who can tell the truth," Julius said gloatingly. "I really want to know who was dealing with you before, so that your understanding of our native language is biased."

"They are all people with a higher social status than you." Clayton choked on him, and this fact made him regain his confidence: "It doesn't matter, a good result will prove everything."

"I need to repent."

"Do I need to repent?"

Two nearly opposite thoughts emerged from the mind of Priest Louis one after the other.

The door of the church has been closed by him, and no visitors will come here today, where he can think, criticize, and recall whether his actions match the punishment he is receiving today.

As in his childhood, church became for him again an occasion for witnessing confession rather than an office for hearing it from others.

He sat on the bench where the audience would usually sit, meditating in the dark. Only the position of the lectern had the patterned sunlight pouring in through the leaky window, with a sacred atmosphere.The skin left by the leatherworker lay flat on his legs, and the blond hair attached to it had lost its former luster and withered like straw, but the priest's palms still pressed gently on it, stroking them affectionately.

The last time he did this was 12 years ago, when he promised Sewan that he would no longer have to copy the scriptures, seeing the innocent smiling face of his adopted son, he couldn't help but reach out and stroke his hair.

Everything can't go back to that time.

Priest Louis had vaguely anticipated this tragedy before it happened.

He has a secret that no one knows - his decision to become a priest was not of his own accord.

Before entering the seminary, he also had his own family and was the seventh child in the family. According to the common sense of occultism, he would have some strange qualities, such as being able to see ghosts and being immune to curses.This kind of power will retreat after growing up, but it allows him to see the person who changed his life at the most critical moment.

It was a very old woman who came from out of town one hot summer day, claiming to be visiting relatives, and Louis, who was a child, helped the old woman by finding a shady tree stump for her to hold on to. She sat down and offered a glass of cold water.

The old woman rewarded him with two prophecies.

One is that he will achieve success in the worldly sense after becoming a black monk, and the other is that he will feel real pain after seeing the bloodshot face.

The young Louis was not delighted by the first prophecy. Instead, he had a prophetic dream about the second prophecy that he could not understand that night. In the dream, he saw the frightening scene. The convulsions and fever made him lie in bed for a week. When he woke up, he still wanted to look for the old witch, but his parents told him that the foreign woman was dead. She died in front of Lax's house, but Lax But none of them knew her.

According to the custom, dead foreigners are buried in the cemetery, and Louise saw her coffin sink into the grave, covered with thick earth.

As he grew older, he chose to go to the seminary for further studies, and the following process went smoothly as predicted by the witch. The only flaw was that he could not comprehend the essentials of miracles anyway.No one doubted his piety. He was sent back to his hometown to serve the believers. His career was neither high nor low, but it was considered successful for any mortal, but that bloodshot face covered with spider webs still appeared from time to time in his dream.

Louis had thought the symbolic pain would be caused by the death of a loved one, but his parents were dying and he was happy for them in the end.

After the old people died, he stopped dreaming, so he once thought that the second prophecy was the witch's mistake, until he adopted an adopted son and brought him up, and at the same time, the nightmare of childhood reappeared.

Bloodshot face. Louis glanced at the pioneers in the alcove of the church, and his mind gradually became empty.

He never thought that that face would be the face of an evil creature, those magical things, and evil heretics, evil spirits. He knew they existed, but he never thought that one day they would break into his ordinary life and break Rewo tranquility.

When he dreamed of that face again, he had a premonition that the prophecy would be fulfilled on his adopted son, and he made full preparations to send Sevan to study in a monastery, hoping that this child would be able to accomplish what he could not, Master the real [miracle].

If there is a [miracle], then Sewan may be able to get rid of the restraint of that prophecy.

However, a miracle did not happen, and Sevan came back.

Penance is the last way. If you don’t get [Miracle], you can stimulate another kind of power to resist prophecy or curse through harsh penance. Promise to become a monk in black is a shortcut to obtain penance. Voluntary The priesthood can apply for the penance guidance of the Sincere Brotherhood in the church.

Louis explained why, but the boy had other ideas. He was in love with a girl and could not inherit the mantle of his adoptive father.

The priest in black knew the identity of the girl, including the process of their investigation of Adelaide Lax. After finishing his studies and returning home, he followed the information of the Lax family, trying to find the old woman who made the prophecy He had also read the volumes they found in the document room, so he knew that the Lax family was the descendant of the Water Fairy, which was a kind of dark descendant.

After he knew this incident, he did not interfere with the young man's love affair. He also hoped that this girl could one day awaken her bloodline and use her power to cover up the prophecy of her ancestors, but the order of the church in Sasha City and the presence of people forced him to terminate the plan. .

Then Sewan died outside his vision, and the leather was infused with fel energy by the leatherworker to make a miracle, and fell into an unrighteous and unclean situation.

Louis had to acknowledge the power of fate.

But even though his efforts to save his adopted son failed, the prophecy was not fulfilled after all.

The body of the priest in black swayed slightly on the bench, his hands were still stroking Sevan's hair, his heart was bright and clear, what surprised him was that the bone-cutting grief did not last long, his His sanity was restored again, and he didn't really feel the heartbreak that was soaked in blood. After the prophecy that had threatened him for nearly 30 years was finally realized, he even felt that his heart had become like air, light and light, neither hurt nor hurt. It will hurt, and it will be easy as hell.

All this is like a summer rainstorm, the frantic rain is followed by a scorching sun.

He felt that he should repent of this flat reaction, because he not only abandoned the faith for Sevan, let the darkin and his adopted son hang out, and then persecuted his own children because of fear of the faith.He was so weak and deserved what he got.

But if he should repent, then what was the faint call that sprouted in his heart?
Louis stood up, put his hand under the skin of his adopted son, and walked towards the podium as if holding a holy object.

A thin layer of blazing white flames slowly spread outward from his fingertips, burning the evil energy contained in the skin into wisps of black smoke, and soon, this almost undetectable transparent white flame spread to the entire human skin. He burned the fragile tissue together with the evil energy, and the ashes fell to the ground through his fingers, leaving only a strand of golden hair still resting on his hand.

[Miracle] finally answered his call.

Louis opened the holy book, sandwiched his adopted son's blond hair, and then closed the page again.

He blinked, starting to get bored.

The newly obtained miracle can't change his mind, he doesn't think miracle is good now, it seems to be a dispensable thing.

"What should I do now?" he asked himself, and then gave the answer without thinking: "I'm going to Adelaide, she may know something."

"Maybe, before I find her, I need to get a gun"
