Chapter 361
John did not put down his hanging sword, he stared at the visitor.
Even though the werewolf behind him was frantic and wanted to bite, the old man did not move away.
If John's rope hadn't been just close enough to lock the werewolf, I'm afraid the old man's neck would have been bitten through.
"Village chief?" John said with a half-smile, "What you did was a bit unkind."
"No wonder you don't want me to deal with the werewolf. Did you raise this guy?"
"Sir, I beg you, don't hurt her." The village chief begged, "I'm willing to pay, please let her go."
"This guy has no sense on a full moon night," John said coldly, his face full of coldness, "You raised her in the village, do you want to bring disaster to the whole village?"
Hearing this, the village chief knelt down and cried bitterly: "I also know that she is in danger now, but she is my daughter, I can't..."
"Daughter?" John said calmly, "You seem to be as loving as a father."
His voice was calm, but it gave people a sarcastic feeling.
This is a village.
An out-of-control werewolf has the power to easily tear human bodies apart.
The villagers are not Hagrid. If they encounter a werewolf, they will basically die.
The village chief said it was for his daughter, but what about the others?
John stared at the village chief's pale face and said in a calm tone: "Give me a reason to let her go."
Now he was in a trial, and John didn't want to fail.
So he didn't put down his sword, but waited for an explanation.
The village chief hesitated again and again, but finally told the truth under the threat of Jianfeng.
"My daughter, she was attracted by the wolf witch. It was the curse that made her look like this."
The village chief's face was full of pain when he mentioned this past incident.
Six months ago, he entertained a traveler.
The traveler was handsome and generous.
The traveler claimed to be a businessman and lived in the village for a month. During this period, the village chief's daughter Pekel became somewhat fond of him.
But one night, the traveler went out for a long time and did not come back.
Worried that something might happen to the traveler, Pekel went to look for him, but his trip caused trouble.
Pekel found the traveler in a swamp.
The traveler was there at that time, and he ferociously tore open the neck of a wild deer that strayed into the swamp.
The monster's appearance frightened Pekel.
The monster discovered her, and when Pekel returned home, her body was stained with blood and she was in a daze.
Three days later, the traveler returned to the village chief's house.
He expressed his intention and hoped to take Pekel away.
But Pekel saw the traveler as if he were seeing a devil, screaming and refusing to go out.
The village chief realized something was wrong and drove the traveler away with insults.
The traveler left with a gloomy face. Before leaving, he cursed the village chief.
"Whenever the full moon comes, your daughter will turn into a monster that eats hair and drinks blood. You'd better let me take her away."
The village chief didn't take it to heart, but when the full moon of the second month came, he woke up to the sound of a wolf howling.
It was dark, and he saw a pair of green eyes flash.
The village chief, who was worried about his daughter, went to her room and found that she was not there.
When he found his daughter the next day, he saw a dead villager and his daughter lying next to him.
He was frightened because the villager seemed to have been bitten by a wild beast.
The village chief hurriedly picked up his daughter and did not give him time to deal with it. The death of the villager was discovered.
At first they thought it was a wild beast on the mountain, but as time passed, a villager died every full moon.
The howling of wolves made people shudder, and the villagers realized that there were werewolves.
In order to hide the secret, the village chief locked his daughter in the house.
After waking up, Pekel went crazy and begged his father several times to kill him, the monster.
The village chief had no choice but to tie him up. Pekel could not leave the room except to eat.
But every full moon, Pekel still breaks free and goes out to commit murder.
"Sir, my daughter, she is the victim of that wolf witch." The village chief said angrily.
He had thought that this would arouse John's sympathy.
But when he looked at John, he saw a face that showed neither joy nor anger.
"In other words, you are protecting your daughter?" John asked.
"Yes, sir." The village chief nodded.
…
Out of sight of John.
In the old mountain castle, his uncles stared at the spring water.
Alexey sighed with emotion: "I didn't expect that it would be a werewolf heart test right from the beginning."
The so-called dream trial refers to the various attitudes of people.
The choices made through trials give people different powers.
They have all experienced trials, and although each trial is different, there are some overlaps.
For example this one, Heart of the Werewolf.
Alexei once experienced such a test.
The spring water is like a mirror, showing the choice John is facing at this moment.
Seryosha looked at Alexei and asked curiously: "What was your choice back then?"
Alexei pondered for a moment and said: "I killed the wolf witch. The wolf witch is the source of evil. The village chief and his daughter are just pitiful people."
The other brothers thought thoughtfully. If they were put in his shoes, they would also choose to kill the wolf witch.
After all, the wolf witch is the source of all disasters and represents evil.
…
"What about the villagers?"
"What?"
As if he didn't expect John to ask this question suddenly, the village chief was stunned for a moment.
John stared at the village chief and asked word for word: "In order to protect your daughter, what will you do with the villagers who died?"
The village chief hesitated and said: "My daughter just can't help herself."
"You are not helpless," John said calmly, "You can choose to take your daughter and live in the mountains away from people."
"How is that possible?" the village chief retorted subconsciously.
John said: "Are you unable to let go of power, or is it the money you have obtained?"
I learned from Parker that in order to eradicate the werewolves, the villagers had handed over money to the village chief as a bounty.
No one has ever killed the werewolf, and the money has always been lying in the village chief's house.
The village chief was speechless, and John said: "The wolf witch hurt your daughter. Instead of taking revenge, you acquiesced in the legend of the werewolf and took the opportunity to make money."
John's sword fell and touched the village chief's neck, causing the village chief's body to sway.
He wanted to retort, but John's cold eyes forced him back as he spoke.
"Tell me where the wolf witch is."
The village chief said: "He settled over there in the swamp. At this time, there are always dead animals there."
It seems that the wolf witch has not given up on the village chief's daughter.
John motioned to the village chief to step aside, and he stared at the werewolf.
The werewolf gradually became quiet, and John touched his chin, "It does look a little unusual."
Pekel did not completely transform into a werewolf, perhaps because something happened on the day he was bitten.
After observing for a while, John used photography magic to find a big stone.
Walking around behind the werewolf, he aimed at the struggling werewolf and hit it on the back of the head.
There was a huge noise, accompanied by the sound of the werewolf falling to the ground and stones breaking.
"Pekel!" the village chief wailed.
John thought for a moment, took out his wand and pointed it at the village chief.
A red light shot out, and the village chief fell down.
Perhaps there was too much noise, so Parker, who was shivering at home, opened the door a crack.
John dragged the werewolf and the village chief towards his house, scaring Parker into scrambling to lock the door.
The door was kicked open and John threw the village chief in.
"Watch him."
Leaving a message for Parker, John dragged the werewolf out of the village.
A drag mark stretched out on the snow. Parker wiped his sweat and looked at the village chief again, feeling on the verge of crying.
…
Chapter 388 I pierced the wolf witch
There is a wetland swamp on the south side of the village.
Because of the weather, a layer of black ice formed on the swamp.
When John came here, the smell of blood was strong.
He walked to a tree, squatted down, and pulled down the things under the tree.
"Wolfsbane Aconitum."
He stared at the aconite, stuffed a few into his bag, and walked in another direction.
"Ouch——!"
A wolf howled was heard, and John looked up.
An upright werewolf was attacking the small animal, and the animal was disemboweled.
It looked bloody.
Suddenly, the werewolf stopped his cruel actions, raised his head, and kept sniffing the air with his nose.
John noticed that Pekel was also showing signs of awakening.
He kicked Pekel directly on the neck, causing his head to tilt.
"It looks like there's still some time before dawn."
After calculating how long it would be before dawn, John hung Pekel on the tree.
John stepped forward, and the swamp werewolf behind him ran over.
He looked around, but didn't look up.
John stared at the werewolf. If he jumped from it, he could probably kill him with a sword.
