Chapter 264 The so-called werewolf

The little girl Betty's words made the atmosphere in the whole pub tense.

Lily, who was walking towards the kitchen not far away, suddenly paused. She slowly turned her head and looked at Victor. The bloody bone-chopping knife appeared in her right hand again at some point.

Victor felt that the way Lily looked at her was like looking at a piece of raw meat. His body stiffened instinctively, and his right hand unconsciously grasped the void.

His wand was currently hidden in the battle wand holster on his right arm, which had used up all the Galleons he had borrowed from the studentship program.

But the effect is also excellent. Now as long as he thinks about it, the wand will fly into his hand.

At this moment, he really wanted to summon a wand to cast a fire spell on this place, because the pressure Lily gave him was too strong.

Although Lily was strong, the distance between the two was not close at the moment, and he was sure to kill her directly.

But what happens after that?

There are all werewolves outside, and the surroundings of Hatch Village are also wilderness. In this case, even if you can break out of the siege, you will eventually be chased and killed by these werewolves.

After thinking about it again and again, Victor finally gave up the urge to take action directly and began to use the words he had prepared before setting off.

"Oh! That's what I use to store souvenirs. All my real luggage is stored here."

Victor patted the big backpack on his back in a relaxed tone, and then smiled at Betty.

However, this smile seems to contain some other flavors.

"Is that so? Uncle, you must buy more beef when you go back! The beef here is the most delicious!"

Betty recommended enthusiastically.

Victor breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the little girl's IQ was not high. After thinking about it, he turned his attention to Lily who was not far away.

"Betty, please call me brother. This little brother is not that old yet."

"Huh? Really?"

"Ah, yes, I am 16 years old."

"Brother, you are so young! Betty was wrong. I kept calling you uncle just now." The little girl Betty lowered her head and said aggrievedly, but before Victor could offer any words of comfort, she asked in rapid succession, "What about you, brother?" What's your name? Where are you from? Are you still in school?"

Victor had been observing Lily with his peripheral vision and saw that she had been slowly approaching while the two were talking. He stepped back quietly and replied with a smile:

"My name is Victor Dawn, you can just call me Victor. Besides, I'm from London and I'm currently studying at Eton College."

After hearing Victor's answer, Lily, who was holding a bone chopping knife, suddenly showed a look of surprise on her face and said:

"Isn't Eton that famous aristocratic school? I never expected that Mr. Dawn, you are actually an aristocratic young master. But okay, can you tell me whether there are many girls in Eton?"

"Well, ma'am, unfortunately, Eton is a boys' school, so..."

The second half of Victor's words was not spoken, but Lily already understood what he meant. She covered her chest with her free left hand and said a little embarrassedly:

"Oh! I am so ignorant that I am making you laugh, Mr. Dawn."

"No problem, just call me Victor."

Victor breathed a sigh of relief. Lily behaved very much like a village girl's reaction when her true identity of ignorance and ignorance was exposed. But he knew that Lily was already doubting him, and the question just now was just to test him.

If I followed her question and started describing what girls from Eton were like, I'm afraid that bone-chopping knife would come at me in the next moment.

Next, Lily asked Victor a lot of questions, some of which were probing, and some of which were just simple questions, such as how did you come here at such a young age?

Fortunately, Victor was well prepared. He thought about the answers to most of the questions carefully before setting off, so he answered them fairly smoothly.

Compared to Lily, the little girl Betty has more questions, but the object of her curiosity is obviously not Victor, but the legendary London.

Her eyes were shining, and countless questions about London came from her mouth.

And Victor knew everything about her problems. He could tell that this little girl must have lived in the country since she was a child, so she yearned for big cities like London.

The cross-examination between the two went on for a long time, and it wasn't until 16 o'clock that Lily stopped and asked Betty to lead Victor to the room.

Betty was obviously still unsatisfied. She pouted and brought Victor to the room glumly. Before leaving, she asked Victor if she could continue the topic later.

Of course Victor agreed to this.

Who can refuse the request of a cute little loli? What's more, children of this age are the easiest to obtain information from.

Lily didn't lie to him. The room she brought him to was very clean, and it looked like it had been cleaned frequently.

It's just that the room is relatively small, there is no toilet inside, and the bed is a hard single bed.

But Victor didn't pay too much attention to this because he didn't plan to sleep here.

To be precise, he wasn't going to sleep for the past two days. After all, this was a wolf's den, and there was no guarantee that he would be clicked while sleeping.

After taking a shower, when Victor came downstairs again, the tavern was already bustling with activity. Under the bright yellow light, dozens of men and women crowded into such a tavern to eat and drink. From time to time, there would be bursts of laughter in the crowd. Laughter.

But when Victor appeared here, everyone stopped and looked at Victor who had just walked down the stairs.

The atmosphere started to get weird, and Victor backed away slightly, ready to run away at any time.

At this time, Lily came out of the counter. She grabbed Victor and said in a very embarrassed tone:

"Guest, we don't welcome strangers here. So...can you go back first, and I will ask Betty to bring your dinner up later?"

Lily's words were exactly what Victor wanted. He nodded slightly and walked backwards slowly.

As soon as he stepped onto the stairs, he quickly turned around and ran upstairs as fast as he could.

He acted like a frightened child, and everyone in the tavern was so proud of him that they burst into laughter.

But Victor suddenly stopped when he reached the second floor. A black and brown wand appeared in his hand. He waved the wand and whispered the spell at the same time. The next moment, he saw a circle of transparent ripples in the air. Ripples spread out, and with the appearance of these ripples, Victor's figure began to become blurred, and finally disappeared from the spot.

Victor didn't stop there. After releasing the Disillusionment Curse, he released the Silent Curse to cover his footsteps, and then slowly walked down the stairs.

The tavern on the first floor was still very lively. Victor was half-leaning in the dark corner of the stairs, silently observing the people in the tavern.

The clothes on these people were all dirty, and most of their boots still had mud on them. They should all be farmers from nearby farms, riding horses to the tavern for a drink after a busy day.

After eavesdropping for a while, Victor discovered that the topic they were talking about was actually him.

"Hey, Lily, why did you take that boy in? Don't you know it's dangerous?"

"This kid is different from us at first glance. Who knows if he will discover our secret and go out to inform us."

"Yes, those wizards will not allow so many of us to live in this place. If they find out, they will definitely drive us away. I don't want to leave here. Life here is too comfortable."

The atmosphere in the tavern became gloomy, everyone lowered their heads and remained silent.

Suddenly, a bearded man with beards raised his glass and drank it all in one gulp, then roared:

"Then kill him! It's not the first time anyway!"

The big man's opinion was quickly agreed with by many people. Perhaps they had been preparing to do this for a long time, but they just had to bear the name of the instigator.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the men were extremely excited and wanted to rush upstairs to kill Victor immediately.

At this moment, Lily slammed the counter. Everyone seemed to be afraid of Lily, and the loud noise made them all stunned.

"Shut up, everyone! We are humans, not beasts! Logan, you are really capable now! Have you forgotten who was the one who came to us crying and begging us to accept him? Huh?"

As soon as these words came out, the bearded man with beards who was still in high spirits immediately withered away. After a while, he said aggrievedly:

"I...I am doing this for everyone's good."

Everyone agreed.

Although these people are werewolves, most of them are not born, but are infected with werewolf disease.

Just like some extreme AIDS patients in Muggle society, some werewolves' favorite thing to do is to turn others into their own kind.

They would often attack farmers living on remote farms and give each of them a small bite on the arm.

Thus, a new litter of werewolves was born.

Lupine was also infected with werewolf disease in this way, but compared to him, other werewolves were obviously more pitiful.

First, people around them will treat them as monsters. When they transform and make things worse, the Ministry of Magic will arrive, register and erase relevant traces, and then tell them not to appear in front of Muggles again. Finally, they will be Thrown into the wilderness to fend for themselves.

Wizards call this the spirit of humanity. In their opinion, it is merciful not to kill the werewolf immediately.

But it’s a nightmare for those victims!

Wolves are social animals, and so are humans. Their nature prompted these werewolves to gather together and form this village.

But the Ministry of Magic does not allow werewolves to live, because it is easy for a force to resist the Ministry of Magic to emerge. Therefore, once this village is discovered by the Ministry of Magic, destruction will be their only fate.

Thinking of this, and then recalling the tragic experiences of these people, Lily's eyes flashed with a look of intolerance, and she sighed and said:

"Okay, I don't care about you. But remember, even if you want to do it, you can't do it in my tavern. Betty is still here!"

As soon as Betty was mentioned, the crazy eyes of everyone present softened.

Betty was their little angel.

To be precise, every child is their angel, and Betty, this child, is the angel among angels.

The reason is very simple. The heart of Betty, this child, is so pure that they are so pure that they are not willing to hurt her at all, whether it is physically or mentally.

These people have killed many people in order to protect the secrets of the village.

Their minds also began to become more and more like wild beasts during these killings, which made them very scared.

And Betty's cute smile is the secret medicine that can put their souls to rest!

That's why they were so nervous when they found out that Betty was in contact with the stranger.

"We get it, Boss Lily." Logan, the bearded man, thought for a moment and sat down again and said, "Just let that kid live one more night."

Everyone seemed to be convinced by the man named Logan. After he made his decision, they all sat back in their seats, but their moods were a little low. It seemed that they remembered the tragic experience before.

When Lily at the counter heard this, she slammed the counter and shouted with a ferocious face:

"How many times have I told you! Don't call me boss! Call me Sister Lily!"

When she got angry, Logan immediately turned into a quail. He shrank his head, lowered his head and said in an extremely quiet tone that could be heard by everyone present:

"I understand, Boss Lily."

As soon as these words came out, everyone in the tavern burst into laughter. Lily originally wanted to teach Logan a lesson, but when everyone laughed, she could no longer pretend to be angry, and He laughed like everyone else.

The cheerful atmosphere returned to the tavern.

But Victor in the shadow of the stairs had a heavy look on his face.

He was very confused at this moment.

He knew very well about the origin of werewolves and werewolf disease, so he naturally knew that the werewolves in front of him were basically poor people and victims.

Especially the little girl named Betty.

From their conversation and the girl's name for Lily, it can be heard that the little girl named Betty is not Lily's biological daughter, but was adopted by Lily after escaping from the outside world.

And when a cute girl of Betty's age was infected with werewolf disease by those ugly and disgusting werewolves, Victor felt a burst of anger.

At the same time, a trace of pity arose in his heart.

He felt as if there was a voice repeating in his ears:

‘They are all poor people. Otherwise, let them go. Anyway, if you run now, you still have a whole night, and they shouldn’t be able to catch up with you. ’

He was almost convinced several times. After all, the game had just begun. He still had plenty of time to hunt down other dark magic creatures. He would not necessarily lose if he let them go.

But reason told him that due to international confidentiality laws, it was very rare for hundreds of werewolves to gather together like this. He might never encounter so many dark magical creatures again in the future.

"what to do!"

Victor's fists were clenched tightly, and his short nails pierced the skin, and soon drops of blood dripped down.

What do you think Victor should do? Run or kill? Or should I say, kill part of it and let go of part?
