Chapter 35, Shadow Dire Wolf

As usual, the Lord’s Mansion does not welcome foreigners.

Sid needs to continuously show off his white hair and blue eyes and his characteristic wolf accent, which he knows will become the norm for some time to come, and unlike Rizlan’s native dog nobility, a werewolf even The poor are also very proud. It is not easy for them to respect the “white-headed man”, at least not the wolf nobles.

It was relatively easy to persuade steward to climb up the thick and slightly decayed wooden revolving escalator under his leadership, feeling the touch of on the verge of collapse under his feet, Sid thoughtfully said: “I feel like I will immediately. I’m about to fall.”

“Sir, please get used to it.” Steward had a big bald head, and when Sid complained he was embarrassed and politely said: “You must have been away from home for too long, Forgot the glorious tradition of our werewolf.”

“The glorious tradition? Let me think, oh, is it the saying ‘If something is not broken, it doesn’t need to be repaired’?” Sid faint smile.

“Yes.” Steward led Sid to the second floor: “Baron is inside, please.”

Lightly knocking on the door, the sound was dull: “Your Excellency, Azekai Please see Mr. Al-Abaddon.”

Ossoleil Baron, named Sirisik, was tall and burly, with a bushy golden beard, wearing a half-worn thick cotton-padded coat, only in the The epaulettes on his shoulders were indicative of his status, and when he looked up to see Sid from the complicated scroll, Baron looked away quickly.

“Wood, I told you we need people, but obviously we don’t need gray hair.” This sentence was not addressed to Sid, but to steward: “We can’t pay pay his wages.”

Then he got up: “Whatever you came from, you are welcome to Ossoleil.”

“I was just passing by. Sid could see that the other party did not welcome him very much, and he controlled his words: “It’s such a peaceful and peaceful place, I can’t help but make me want to stop here. Judging from the current situation, Your Excellency, you must After spending a lot of energy, I believe that you are a just and wise lord, so I came to visit.”

“The wolves do not welcome people who use their tongues to make a living, the great Romani is above…” Baron The body is straight, leaning on the wolfskin back chair, reaching for his snuff bottle.

Picking up the candle, Sid threw it up and his wrist shook continuously. Baron was dazzled, and the candle fell on the table.

The whole candle is neatly cut into seven segments, nearly the same size, and neatly falls on the table in rows.

Baron stood up immediately, with a flash of respect in his eyes: “Welcome to Ossore, my realm.”

The powerhouse is respected at all times: “I What can I do for you?”

“I’m here for the Shadow Dire Wolf.” Sid reached over the chair and sat down, signaling that Baron was ready to sit.

“Shadow Dire Wolf?” Baron’s face showed joy, but his joy turned into anger immediately: “Shadow Dire Wolf? Are you going to kill the Shadow Dire Wolf? Mr. Abaddon, the Shadow Dire Wolf is with me. It is my property in the forest where you say you can kill it?”

“Then you can hire someone to solve the problem yourself.” Sid spread his hands and expressed helplessness: ” I really want to help you, but I can’t do it without a reward.”

“The Dire Wolf is the symbol of my wolf principality! You want to kill our wolf Totem in my forest, but you still Would you like to ask me for money?” Baron was angry, it seemed that Sid’s help with the Dire Wolf seemed to be a violation of his legal rights.

“I understand your difficulties, Lord Baron, look at my hand, and listen to my accent, I was born in the Principality of the Wolf, I was born here and grew up here, for me , The forests here, the fields here, and the hills here are my home.” Sid said even more passionately: “Shadow Dire Wolf? That’s simply my family! I actually want to do something to my family, you Do you know how much censure I have to endure? Why do I always have tears in my eyes? Because I love this land so much!”

The muscles in Baron’s face twitched.

He was disgusted by this Mr. Ezekiel-Abaddon in front of him.

Very good, as expected of our wicked werewolf.

“Then I may not be able to cover your expenses here, Mr. Azekel-Abaddon, please don’t interfere in the internal affairs of the ability.” Baron signaled that Sid could leave.

“Yes, I also think that you should hire another brilliant.” Sid nodded with a smile: “However, I still want to remind you that you can continue to act as if nothing happened, and wait until the dire wolf Eat your woodcutter, wait until the dire wolf arranges your hunter, wait until the dire wolf swallows all the other animals in your forest, and then you take your soldiers and go to the forest to search in a carpet manner, even if A fully armed Knight squad cannot guarantee that there will be no casualties in the face of the dire wolves. You can also go into battle by yourself… Or, you can also consider professionals?”

“Do I consider professionals to be mine? things.” Baron moved, but remained tough.

“We all know that mercenaries will not come to the Principality of Evil Wolf, and we also know that the lord’s duty is to defend his territory.” Sid said indifferently: “Maybe you wait a little longer. Years to wait until the next person who is willing to help you solve your problem? Family?”

“Enough for you… well, I’ll give you 8 golden ecubits to put the head of that shadowy dire wolf Send it to me!” Baron finally let go, he said helplessly while sitting in his chair.

“That’s my family! I have to pay more!” Sid emphasized the importance of his family to him, and his face was full of sympathy: “I can’t do it without 50 gold ecubits! “

“10!” Baron roared, his voice hoarse: “Everything, including the wolf skin, is yours, okay?”

“Deal.”

p>

The two sides shook hands and the deal was concluded. Sid took the power of attorney and put it in his pocket.

As he was about to go out, Sirisik Baron said: “Mr. Abaddon, please be careful, five young men have already died under the shadow dire wolves, and when we found their bodies, it was according to The clothes are judged.”

“I understand.” Sid nodded.

After coming out of the lord’s mansion, Sid made preparations.

Shadow Dire Wolf, challenge level: Paragon Rank, is a variant of the advanced dire wolf of the Timberwolves.

Dire wolves can be found in the overwhelming majority forest grasslands of Orbis World. It is said that these creatures have a much longer history than humans and are the most terrifying predators in the wilderness. Unlike the Timberwolves, once the Timberwolves advanced to Dire wolves, they no longer like to forage in groups, but prefer to act alone on their prey.

Dire wolves are characterized by fast speed, first attack, strong lethality, weak stamina, and fragile skin.

The Shadow Dire Wolf has one more ability than the Dire Wolf, and that is the ability to conceal stealth.

Sid first found a grocery store in the town, prepared some potions here, and then found a local tenant, and spent 6 copper fennies to buy a big rooster that likes to bark.

He needs a bit of bait for the Shadow Dire Wolf to appear.

It is worth mentioning that the nobles of the Wolf Principality like to hunt with captives or foreign criminals. For example, Sid has seen with his own eyes the great wolf nobles use the captured Wallace Principality prisoners to hunt. Bait, wounded his thighs, made him bleed, and put it in the hunting ground to lure prey.

This was almost unforgivable in Sid’s previous life, but it’s really common in this world.

The werewolf doesn’t think this is a bad thing.

Sid is naturally not inferior to experimenting with live people, he can imitate the bait with a rooster.

The Black Forest of the Wolf Principality always gave Sid a familiar feeling.

Black Forest is different from the taiga in Rizlan. It is not as high and cold as Rizlan. In October, the Rizlan alpine taiga already snowed in many places. It’s a bit of time, but it’s much more eerie than Rizlan, where the Black Forest gets denser as it goes deeper, the light is very dim, the bushes are dense, and the roads are getting narrower and narrower.

Sid moved towards the depths of the Black Forest step by step, the weeds on the side of the road slicing through his clothes and chainmail, and the densely packed branches made him sometimes have to take out his dagger to trim the road.

“It seems that the threat of the shadow dire wolf is indeed very great. It should have been a while since no one tried to enter the depths of the forest.” Sid opened the eyes of the falcon, judging the footprints of the path, and shook his head repeatedly.

After walking for another five minutes, a horse’s body was lying on the side of the road, Sid immediately crouched down and lit his fire, and inspected the horse’s body through the eye of the falcon.

“A pack horse? It’s not a good horse.”

“The wound on the neck is the deepest, and most of the flesh in the abdomen is eaten… The dire wolves take advantage of it to drink water. When the attack is launched, there is only one enemy, not a group, otherwise the whole horse should be eaten up by the wolves.”

“The weather is cold, the degree of decay is not high, and some wounds are old and new. , maybe the predators will visit again.”

Very good.

Sid set up the scene immediately, he is not a professional devil beast hunter impossible to do that in detail, he simply tied the rooster to the side of the dead horse with a string, got a little chicken blood to let the smell out, He found a nearby place to observe, and then took out the medicine and sprayed it on his clothes to cover up his smell.

The beautiful white-haired boy just sat down and quietly waited for the prey to arrive. This time may only take a few minutes, it may take several hours.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Sid took out the Holy Grail of Nightmare again and carefully observed the Divine Item that would be bound to him for life.

Huh?

Sid’s pupils instantly widened.

The serum in the Holy Grail of Sinful Nightmare, recovered?

A layer of multi-colored Cocktail-like slurry coats the black red devil’s residual smudge.

No! Before entering the small town of Ossoleil, I confirmed that there was only one mouthful left. Why are there two mouths now? He didn’t kill after entering the town!

Could it be that only knowledge can restore the Holy Grail of Sins?

If this is the case, then the formidable power of this Void Realm Divine Item… Sid is still thinking about it, and there are footsteps in the distance.

He immediately held his breath and forgot about the Grail of Guilty.

In the Black Forest, something is slowly approaching.

A gigantic dire wolf emerged from the bushes. It was about one meter long and nearly one meter high. It had bright red eyes, strong limbs, and a bloody mouth wide open like Continuously dripping saliva in a sacrificial bowl, it approached slowly, wary eyes looking around.

The most eye-catching thing is the back of the Dire Wolf. The back of this evil beast is covered with ink-like lacquer black, covering half of its body. The black hair spreads all the way to the abdomen. It becomes dark blue, light blue and then white on the legs.

Shadow Dire Wolf, a variant of the Dire Wolf, this creature is not only faster after the mutation, but also has an active skill – the hair behind it can suddenly emit mist, making it invisible disappeared for a short time.

So this thing is very difficult to deal with. The Dire Wolf is already fast, has the stunt of first attack, and can escape stealthily. Regular soldiers need a carpet search, and Baron himself is not sure of winning.

The Shadow Dire Wolf seemed very vigilant. It already had a preliminary wisdom. When it saw a live injured rooster next to its food storage, the Shadow Dire Wolf continued to roar continuously, but it didn’t.

Jump up.

Very vigilant guy, Sid took into account that his traps might not work. After all, he is not a professional trap master. The traps he made are a bit obvious. Wolves are cunning animals and will not be so easily fooled.

lightly applies wild beast oil to the blade of the Swift Sword, and Sid tries to lighten his movements as much as possible.

Hate the mark!

“Roar~” The Shadow Dire Wolf was slowly approaching the big rooster. It sniffed the chicken’s body with its nose. When it was about to confirm what it was, a reflective cold glow immediately aroused fear. The wolf’s vigilance, it suddenly retreated on all fours and slipped behind.

The tip of the swift sword pierced through the air, piercing the afterimage left by the Shadow Dire Wolf!

“Tsk.” Sid spat, he immediately slid sideways and dodged behind him, the shadowy dire wolf’s sharp teeth also bit the air, and the white-haired handsome boy immediately rolled sideways, sharp claw Dangerously, he rubbed the corner of Sid’s clothes and smashed it to the ground, causing mud to smash.

Ok, one bite and one pounce, it’s now!

Sid turns over, swift sword retracts, blade swings, wrist retreats, flips, and forwards.

Spiral thrusts!

The elastic blade instantly pierced through the waist of the Shadow Dire Wolf, the stench of wolf blood spurted out, and the Swift Sword left a deep, bone-piercing scar on the Dire Wolf’s waist!

“wu wu wu ~” The Shadow Dire Wolf screamed in pain, and the wild beast sword oil worked. This sword oil will give the Shadow Dire Wolf a strong tingling and corrosion feeling. Sid Waiting to withdraw the sword and attack again, the Shadow Dire Wolf didn’t intend to sit still and die.

Shadow stealth!

Sid immediately stepped back and rolled laterally to distance himself. He sank and felt the opponent’s position.

The Shadow Dire Wolf disappeared, but not completely, the mark left by the hatred mark always applied to the Shadow Dire Wolf, he could feel the location of the Dire Wolf, and the other party was secretly peeping in the bushes He stared at him, as if hesitating whether to flee or continue the attack.

Seeing this, Sid estimated that he aimed his back at the Dire Wolf.

The cold air in the Black Forest, the sound of swaying leaves, the mud underfoot, and the stench in the wind became close and far away.

Here we come!

Rotating his waist ninety degrees in situ, Sid’s horizontally raised swift sword blade accurately blocked the two sharp claws, the eyes of the dire wolf scarlet and the eyes of the white-haired beauty sea-blue color The wolf’s nose almost touched the human nose.

The Shadow Dire Wolf’s bloody mouth wide open like a sacrificial bowl is only a few centimeters away from Sid’s cheeks, but it is impossible to get close. Deflected.

Push back!

Left out, pressing on the right wrist for a strong push.

The Shadow Dire Wolf flew out.

In, out!

The cold glow flashed, and the two arcs crossed into a cross. In the blink of an eye, Sid appeared behind the Dire Wolf.

The blade was stained with blood and dripped down the slender tip of the sword.

The Shadow Dire Wolf fell to the ground, whimpering.

The Hidden Blade is patched, and the encounter in the Black Forest is over.

Sid feels satisfied with the skill of using the Hate Mark. This is not a high-damage feat, but the function of marking weakness is what Sid needs most. The effect of the Hate Mark means that even if the opponent is invisible or Sid Even when you can’t see each other, you can still feel each other’s presence.

And the Eye of the Storm’s ability to deflect attacks has also proven to be a very useful feat, but there is no chance to trigger that powerful dispel effect.

Sid believes that there will be a chance next time.

“gu gu gu ~” the big rooster is still barking, it can’t understand what’s going on.

Sid walked up to the big cock very gently, picked it up, and smiled.

“Let’s go, today is your lucky day.”

More than two hours later, in the afternoon, the beautiful white-haired boy was carrying the corpse of the Shadow Dire Wolf, chewing and roasting it in his mouth. The chicken bones left over from the chicken legs came out of the Black Forest.

With one sword piercing the skull and one sword cutting the throat, Sid is very satisfied with his performance. This complete hide of the shadow dire wolf can be sold for more than 30 gold ecubits on the black market. The big nobles all liked the dire wolf skin, and with the commission from the lord, it was a good harvest today.

Taking out the Holy Grail of Sinister Nightmare, the cup has changed again. There is an extra layer of blood-colored serum on the multi-colored serum, exuding the stench of wolf blood.

So give it a try?

Without further ado, Sid pulled out the dagger and gave himself an artery in his arm. This time he cut a deep wound, bleeding profusely.

Picking up the Holy Grail of Guilty Nightmare and smelling the wolf’s blood, he lifted his head and took a sip. Sid immediately watched the changes in his wound.

I saw that the bleeding at the wound stopped quickly, and around the ruptured muscle tissue, tentacle-like things formed from unknown substances covered the wound and turned into new muscle tissue. It didn’t take long for the skin to heal too.

Sid’s head has the Shadow Wolf’s stealth skills, but he can’t use it.

Is this the Holy Grail of Sins? Sid clicking one’s tongue in wonder.

If you classify this as a Khorne Divine Item or a Nurgle Divine Item?

When Sid returned to the small town of Ossoleil, the town had changed. A group of villagers gathered and tied a man to a stake with mud, rotten fruit and The egg hit him in the face.

“It’s Wallace’s spy!”

“Kill him! Kill the damn stranger!”

“Kill! Kill! Kill!”
