#229 - life experience
Although this husky looks harmless and seems to have a grudge against werewolves, without understanding the specific details, it's not advisable to release him directly. If he's also a werewolf, he's a dangerous creature carrying the lycanthropy virus.

After drinking the potion, he finally breathed a sigh of relief, and his strength recovered a lot.
"Okay, let's have a good chat next. First, tell me who you are and why you can talk," Anduin continued, seeing that he had recovered his spirits.
"Benefactor, my name is Hog, and I am 14 years old this year." Hog, who looked like a husky, sighed and continued, "I am neither a werewolf nor an Animagus, and I can't even be considered a magical animal. I'm just an ordinary wolf. If you ask me why I'm so special, it's because my parents were both bitten by werewolves and suffered from lycanthropy."
Anduin was shocked after hearing Hog's words. "Your parents gave birth to you during the full moon...?"
"Yes, they mated during the full moon, and then I was born," Hog nodded.
No wonder. Anduin was a little strange. This guy looked very different from werewolves and didn't look like a magical creature, but he could magically talk. He had indeed seen this situation in some books.
As a magical creature with strong infectivity, if a human is bitten by a werewolf, they will be infected with lycanthropy and will involuntarily transform into a werewolf during the full moon. At the same time, they are also infectious. However, werewolves with lycanthropy who mate with each other or with humans will not have offspring showing signs of lycanthropy.
However, if two werewolves with lycanthropy mate in wolf form during the full moon, something very strange will happen. This has only happened twice in history. Werewolves will give birth to a litter of real wolf cubs, which will grow into very beautiful wolves. They are no different from real wolves, but they possess intelligence close to that of humans.
Originally, Anduin thought this was a legend, but he didn't expect it to be true.
At this time, Hog continued to talk about his life experience.
"Although my parents were wizards, they did not dislike or abandon me and my brothers after giving birth to us, but carefully took care of us as we grew up. However, some of my siblings died during the growth process, and in the end, only me and another older brother remained."
"During the growth process, my parents, my brother, and I always lived in remote forests far away from humans. Only sometimes would they take me to human villages to see and come into contact with wizarding society, so I am no stranger to humans and wizards."
"At the same time, because I am a descendant of wizards, although I don't have a human form, I also have enough intelligence and magic flowing in my body. My parents were very happy when they discovered this, and then they began to teach us to speak."
"It was difficult at first because our vocal structure is very different from humans, but we quickly learned to use magic to change our vocalization. I am more talented than my brother in this regard, which is why I can speak."
"I see, so how did you fall into the hands of these werewolves?" Anduin immediately solved the doubts in his heart and then continued to ask.
"It's all the fault of that werewolf wizard!" Hog said, his eyes couldn't help but burst out with hatred, "Although we lived far away from wizarding society, we lived very harmoniously. Until one day, that werewolf wizard found us with a group of werewolves."
"At first, he wanted my parents to submit to him and help him launch a war against wizards, but my parents disagreed. Then they chose to leave directly, but unexpectedly, they wanted to attack us when we weren't paying attention." At this point, Hog's eyes began to fill with tears, and his voice gradually became sobbing.
"They launched a surprise attack in the middle of the night. Although we fought hard, we were still outnumbered. My parents and brother are gone. These inhuman guys actually ate them alive, leaving only me. That was because that wizard werewolf wanted to keep me and sell me for a good price." Hog couldn't help it at this time and burst into tears again.
Hearing this, Anduin couldn't help but fall silent. These werewolves deserved to die. At the same time, he thought that most of these lycanthropy patients were a group of pitiful people. They were not accepted by wizarding society and had to face the cruel persecution of these werewolf compatriots.
After crying for a while, Hog finally recovered, and Anduin handed him another bottle of tonic, and at the same time took out a bottle of dittany, using magic to heal his injuries.
"By the way, what did you mean by saying that merchants come to choose goods?" Anduin asked after treating Hog's wounds.
"Those werewolves go out to scout every day, searching for traces of magical creatures. Sometimes they also bring in some guys wearing cloaks, who buy these magical animals as if they were choosing goods. However, those werewolves are very cruel. If they see that the visiting merchant is alone or has no power, they will directly bite the person who comes to trade to death and dismember the body," Hog said in a calm tone after Anduin's treatment and taking the potion, feeling much better.
So that's how it is. It seems that these guys are not only thinking about smuggling magical creatures abroad, but also conducting some local transactions. I just don't know who their trading partners are.
At the same time, he thought of those merchants who were double-crossed and that black market merchant who was dismembered in the Forbidden Forest. It seems that doing business with werewolves is really life-threatening.
Then Anduin began to consider how to deal with this husky... oh no, Hog.
"Hog, I'm going to ask you a question now, please answer me honestly," Anduin said solemnly, looking at Hog.
"Ask away, benefactor."
"I know that children born by infected werewolves in human form do not show signs of lycanthropy, but what about you? After being bitten by you, will you be infected with lycanthropy?" After asking this question, Anduin secretly activated 'Legilimency' to discern whether the other party's words were sincere. How to settle Hog next depends on how he answers.
"I have been checked by my parents before. My saliva does not contain the virus that infects people. I don't react on the night of the full moon, and when I was young and didn't know any better, I accidentally bit someone when I was with my mother, but the other party did not show any signs of infection," Hog looked at Anduin with clear eyes and answered very sincerely.
