The beings that enter the Forest of Silence will become the prey of the Wendigo, but they are usually outsiders, humans, or unclanned untouchable blood.
As for one of the members of the thirteen clans, Fitili, who had a name and a high-ranking bloodline, obviously shouldn't be their hunting target.
The old man called himself Hart, and in his opinion, this kind of hunting might even lead to Enoch's complete surrender of the Forest of Silence.
Although the current Fittilian is a traitor to Enoch, Hart, who doesn't know the truth, still made a reasonable judgment based on instinct.
Fittili acquiesced to the other party's guess, and instead of answering Hart's question, he pretended to be arrogant and asked:
"So, why do you all appear here? This is also against the rules, right?"
Hart didn't hesitate, and replied in a low voice:
"Someone brought Aaron's heart and opened all his storage rooms. At this price, we are required to deal with outsiders who appear here."
"What kind of person is that, a nobleman?"
Hart was silent for a few seconds, as if trying to recall what happened a few days ago with his shrunken brain.
"Do not."
"That's a hide-and-seek guy who smells weird...neither aristocrat nor pariah."
The prey in front of him was obviously not an ordinary outsider, so Hart didn't think it was necessary for him to keep the guy who deceived him a secret.
"That's all I know...but some of you don't look like you want me to simply leave."
In the cloudy reflection in the old man's eyes, Victoria squeezed the barrel of the gun with a serious expression, aiming straight at his heart.
"I don't understand why you have any reason to be hostile to me, miss, we are all monsters who suck the same kind, but your expression looks like those human beings who claim to be kind."
"You should understand that this is a helpless thing, and we are all forced to do so."
As a heterogeneous species that has devoured high-ranking filthy blood, Victoria's aura is very eye-catching in the eyes of this instinctive monster.
"In order to survive, are you forced to do anything?"
"Don't joke, greedy monster... Is it God's will that the falcon dwells in the mountains? You live in the rocks, and you make your home on peaks and strong places, where you watch for food. Your chicks suck blood, where the slain is, so it is."

Chapter 46 What’s left behind
Ella frowned at Victoria's words. Although she also couldn't agree with this twisted balance, she couldn't act as fiercely as the latter because of her position.
It is indeed the bounden duty of the executor to protect the human world from the encroachment of mysterious things.
But first of all, Nod does not exist in the material world. It is itself part of the mystery.On the other hand, these Wendigos were also ordinary humans before they transformed into monsters. This can indeed be said to be an inevitable event caused by the characteristics of Nod.
Under the premise that the essence of the curse cannot be resolved, it is nothing but the arrogance of the strong to destroy a small group of people for the sake of one part.
Perhaps this is a compromise and hypocrisy, but Ella has no intention of thinking about such complicated issues in this place.
What's more, searching for and rescuing Shadow is the top priority at the moment. Since the other party appears to be able to communicate, they should try to extract as much information as peacefully as possible.
Considering the reality, the Wendigo in the forest environment is a very scary creature. Ayla's current state is not complete, and it is very dangerous to deal with the five-headed antler monster in this situation.
But Victoria's finger was already on the trigger of the repeating rifle, and the smell of oil and gunpowder made her heart beat faster.She might take action at any time, and the atmosphere at the scene was tense.
At this moment, Fitti pressed down the barrel of Victoria's gun with his hand.
"Let's go, don't show up again in this round of hunting days."
There was clear resistance from the thick barrel of the gun, and she turned her head to look at the thin girl.
Victoria raised her head, but trembled suddenly, that look made her feel very familiar.She had seen something like it in the eyes of that crazy man in Paris a few months earlier, and before she knew it, the siblings had become more and more alike.
The power on the multi-barreled repeating rifle slackened, and the muzzle no longer posed a threat to Hart.
After hesitating for a moment, the old man nodded slowly.He slowly took a few steps back and disappeared into the shadows of the forest with the other monsters.
Fittili has shown more and more abnormalities, Ella has a lot to ask her but now is obviously not the time.
not to mention......
The girl pursed her lips helplessly. The punishment for violating the fifth commandment was beyond her ability. Ella couldn't say anything until dawn.
"what happened to you?"
Ling noticed Ella's unusual silence. The latter tugged on her sleeves, tapped her lips with her finger and waved her hand.
Ling tilted his head and looked at her for two seconds, then suddenly realized.
"I see, a commandment just now prevents you from speaking now?"
Ella's eyes lit up and she nodded hurriedly. She pursed her lips and made a whining sound as if she wanted to say something.
But before she finished speaking, Ella rolled her eyes, how could such a vague voice be understood.
The precept of keeping silent covers a wide range. Even just expressing thoughts in sign language has triggered some punishment. Ella feels that her throat is being choked by some invisible force, like a noose that is gradually tightening .
The so-called keeping silent is not just not allowing her to make a sound, but prohibiting her from expressing her thoughts through various means. Ella feels that if she writes down what she wants to say with a pen and paper, she may be punished more severely.
Just when she was feeling distressed, Ling watched her think about the advantages again and asked tentatively:
"You mean to say 'there is no danger for now, let's continue to find the clues left by the shadow', is that right?"
There was an eerie silence on the roof for a few seconds, and Ella was even more frightened and took a small step back.
She touched her neck like a ghost, but the feeling of suffocation like the tightening of the noose did not reappear.It seems that even the negative rules of the fifth commandment don't see that meaningless grunt as a form of expression.
"This was discussed in advance?"
Victoria muttered in a low voice:
Fittili opened his mouth and was dazed for a few seconds before he could react.
"Can you understand what Ella is saying?"
"Almost, you can understand it just by looking at her face, isn't it easy?"
Ling opened his hands and answered.
Ella didn't know when Ling's mind-reading skills reached this level, but this passive reading seemed to have successfully bypassed the negative precepts and made things much simpler.
Hart's previous description made her feel a little concerned. It wasn't the scent of Enoch nobles or ordinary humans, and there was no mysterious existence that revealed its true face.
It's either a cover-up to hide one's identity, or something else in between.
A thought that made her whole body shiver came up. It was the weird monster Ella had seen in Champs Elysees No. 30.It uses some unexplainable power to drag its consciousness into a dream. There is also a faint shadow of this inhuman existence behind the errors in several coordinate transmissions.
There was indeed something staring at her. Although Ella didn't know what the other party's purpose was, that thing had already started to attack the people around her.
Since the opponent lives in the cracks of the world and can distort the teleportation coordinates to a certain extent, Ayla temporarily calls it a tamperer.
Perhaps the reason why the arrival in the Land of Nod was delayed by one day this time was that the tamperers wanted to create a situation where Ella would be left alone.But it didn't expect that Ling was also involved in the wrong time coordinate through physical contact before completing the transfer.Maybe it wasn't sure it could deal with two people at the same time, so it lurked and waited for the next opportunity.
Ella glanced around subconsciously, but she could only see black trees and white snow.
-
After Wendigo left, the restless magic power in the air calmed down again, and the magic traces left by the shadow became clear again.
Ella followed the fixed coordinate trajectory and opened several light gates in succession.Under the power of magic, the silver traces left by the shadows are like radiant starlight tracks, linked to several different places.
Although Ella didn't think that anyone could interfere with the coordinates she had set within such a short range, to be on the safe side, she still waited for everyone to grab herself tightly before starting the teleportation as before.
At that time, the shadow seemed to have sensed some danger. She changed several different positions irregularly, but she still failed to escape back.
In the depths of the forest, in caves, at the top of huge trees, and a beach near the floating ice coast, Ayla followed the trajectory and searched for the locations where these four shadows had stayed, but found nothing.
The last teleportation node was in a snowy field with sparse trees, which was already more than ten miles away from Aaron's stone house.
The moment Ella's feet touched the ground, she noticed something very familiar to her.An incomplete transformation formula was left in this space. In San Francisco a few years ago, the shadow used Sibilla's magic circle to absorb Ella's magic power.
Although she was unable to replicate the complete ritual left by the prophet in her haste, it was enough to complete a plausible imitation.
This is magic that only Ella and she are familiar with.
Ella pricked the tip of her index finger with her nail, causing a drop of blood to drip down the knuckle.This is something she and Shadow have in common, and it is also one of the causes and effects that link the two.
Before this drop of blood fell into the snow, it was decomposed into several strands of pure magic power. Under the effect of transformation, a magic was activated.
The two light spheres connected at the end danced and rotated in mid-air, and together they formed a mirror-like smooth circle, which was like a closed door, not a passage but a temporary storage bin.
With a pop, something slipped from the hollow in the center of the light gate to the ground.
The girl's gaze followed downwards,
——It was a slender severed arm wearing a black lace pattern with ruffles.
Chapter 47 The Right Eye of the Saint
"This is!"
Ling's face became very ugly, and she rushed forward to pick up the amputated limb from the ground.
The severed limbs he received were barely stained with dust, they were cold and soft.This is the characteristic of the bionic doll body. Roger has restored the touch and flexibility of the human body as much as possible while ensuring the strength of the material.
"Has she already—"
Ling's hands holding the severed limb trembled slightly, suppressing fear and extreme anger.
Ella put one hand on Ling's shoulder, and pointed to the broken part of the arm.
The result of divination is not deceiving, not to mention the state of the alchemy item Eye of Hermes is enough to prove the survival of the shadow. Although Ella can't say anything now, she believes that Ling can understand what she means.
The short-haired girl raised her head slowly, and Ella's composure made her calm down quickly.The essence of the shadow is a magical soul born from alchemy props. After all, this body is just a body she temporarily relies on, and this level of damage cannot bring substantial harm to her.
After setting aside distracting thoughts, Ling noticed that the amputated hand had come off neatly from the elbow joint, and a small piece of screw and oddly shaped fitting part were exposed. It should have been fixed on the upper ball joint.
The arm didn't even show any structural damage, but appeared to be properly replaced and disassembled.
