Werewolf hunting rules

This situation is obviously abnormal. The reason why the circus performs on tour is because the number of guests in a place is limited, and the same performance will soon make the guests feel bored.

Under normal circumstances, they should go to Sasha City, because the Saint's Day is coming soon and there will be enough guests in the city.

"There must be something wrong with this circus." Julius commented as he walked on the street.

They were leaving town to find the circus.

Next to him, Clayton was carrying the "Mosquito Slayer". In order to prevent accidents, the lieutenant brought his only weapon.

"Do you think they raised that 'beast of misfortune'?"

Mobile circuses usually have animal trainers, and the one they just found out about is no exception.

These animal trainers would raise ferocious or deformed carnivorous monsters, remove their teeth and claws, and force them to obey instructions and perform. Usually they are locked up in iron cages and moved with the convoy. This is a very common situation.

These beasts often don't get enough food to perform, and their trainers can't afford to feed them enough to keep them fed.

It's easier to change a beast than to take care of the same one.

The circus has its own fleet of vehicles and enough tents to cope with the housing problem, but it is obviously not cost-effective to stay near a small town. When they stop performing, they lose their income, but they still have to maintain and feed several people. A hungry beast.

According to common sense, they should have released the beast and let it find food on its own at night. This may be the reason why many animal sheds in Jevo Town were attacked.

Otherwise, if the "beasts" are not raised by them, why are they not afraid of the intrusion of wild beasts?

However, Julius denied this conjecture, including the basis for its establishment.

"No, no, no, I don't think the 'Beast of Doom' has anything to do with them. As for the 'Beast' in the town, whether it is the 'Beast of Doom' or not is one of two things. There is one most important condition that we don't know yet. Akatsuki—What exactly does Professor Christopher need this beast for?”

Julius is a wizard who is very sensitive to witchcraft rituals, and Christopher's request is obviously bizarre.

"We now know that if he wants to seek good luck or protect against bad luck, he will need similar objects with misfortune as a talisman. A beast that is attracted to 'misfortune' will obviously help to find such items. But... "

He looked around the street and lowered his voice: "But he wants this beast to live rather than die, which means that he thinks its value is greater in life than in death. Then this beast's ability must not be limited to this. If Its abilities are only as described on the bounty list. Ha. Imagine, a university professor is walking around the city with a beast that is larger than a goat and smaller than a horse. Who would not notice him? Then why not just kill it? It would be more convenient to use its remains for a finding ritual."

He made sense, and Clayton couldn't help but think about the possibilities again.

It's just that this kind of contemplation didn't last long - the werewolf was too hungry, and he didn't relieve his hunger and thirst after killing people. The ice water only temporarily alleviated this feeling, but it was not effective. He now felt like there was a fire burning in his stomach.

"Let's settle this quickly. I'm going to buy a sheep when I get back," he said, suppressing discomfort.

The road to the circus is different from the road to the river. To go to the circus, you need to take the westward one before the fork in the town. The circus is behind the low slope in the west and is even closer to the town. There are many that can be reached in less than ten minutes at normal walking speed.

On the way out of town, they met the people from Easter Island again.

Winston Jean Stewart came towards them with another tomb robber. When he saw Clayton, he nodded as a greeting. His eyes only stayed on his ax for a moment, and then continued to move towards him without saying a word. Go ahead.

Clayton thought for a while and decided to inform the other party. He called out to Winston.

"Your companion is not lost, he is private."

"Who's lost?" Winston asked directly, with a surprised expression.

He shouldn't have reacted like this. Clayton's eyes turned to the face of another tomb robber, and that guy looked at him impatiently. They were all indifferent to this matter, which made the lieutenant feel as if he was looking for trouble.

".It's your other companion, but I don't know him."

Winston looked back at his companion, then looked back at him strangely: "I only brought him with me, how can I have any other companions?"

This reaction was so weird that the dead tomb robber seemed to have been completely forgotten by them.

Clayton frowned, and beside him, Julius narrowed his eyes and tightened his grip on his wand in his pocket.

If the other party is not acting, then he must be influenced by something else.

However, Clayton put a hand behind his back to signal him to relax, and the wizard had to let go of his hand holding the wand.

"How many horses did you bring here?" Clayton asked Winston.

The latter answered him without hesitation: "We have brought three horses."

"There are only two of you, but you brought three horses?"

Hearing this question, the gray-eyed man's pupils sank slightly, and then they widened again: "Isn't it normal for two cavalrymen to lead a third horse? Horses are always injured and sick. You have also been a cavalry commander, don't you have this experience? ?”

Of course the cavalry has this concern, but he is not in the army now, but on Easter Island, and criminal organizations will not be so generous.

This reason was obviously something he had just thought of - to fill the gap in his memory.

"Of course I'm aware of that."

Clayton looked at him and swallowed, trying not to think about the whimsical thoughts of whether an adult man or a horse has a chewy head: "I just want to ask if you have any plans to sell the extra horse. "

Winston was silent for a moment, gave a price, and the deal was made.

After settling this matter, the two groups separated again and walked with their backs facing each other.

After walking some distance, Julius said: "You are indeed a businessman, and you are still thinking about doing business at this time."

Clayton answered him: "We can find them later, so we don't need to be in such a hurry. Keeping them in this state can at least solve our itinerary problem first." The lieutenant gradually stopped and looked towards the direction of the river bank: "Look There is no need for us to go to the circus. The things that affect them are by the river. Let's turn around."

Julius didn't respond. Clayton looked back at him, only to find that he was looking to the west, where the circus was.

On that deserted hillside, a dark figure was standing there.

He stood upright, like a hanged corpse.

Although they were far apart and couldn't see each other's faces clearly, Clayton could still feel that the being was watching here.

He and the wizard felt a chill at the same time.

After a few seconds, the figure seemed to notice that they were looking at him, and turned around and disappeared behind the outline of the hillside.

"Are the plans going to change?" Julius turned to him and asked.

Clayton still looked at the empty hillside:

"No,"

In every region of this continent, people have developed a cult of eyes.

It is believed that too much emotion will be released through the eyes. If this emotion is full of malice, it will form a witchcraft-like effect or position the curse that is about to be issued. This phenomenon is called oversight.

Of course, it also has a more well-known name - [Evil Eye].

Clayton had never felt eyes like that before, but after just a brief glance at each other, he immediately understood that he was being stared at.

That feeling was very strange, and he clearly felt the emotion of another being who desperately wanted him to die.

When they arrived at that hillside, they found no trace of that person or even the movement of the other person. In this open and windy area, the residue of the smell was fleeting, just like the river bank. As long as they were a little more cautious and removed the footprints, Even the werewolves couldn't detect anything useful.

Clayton stepped on the grass and reached the top of the hillside, looking into the distance with an ugly expression.

His gaze crossed the dense forest, and the angle was just right to see the river bank in his sight. When he turned back, he could clearly see the buildings in Gevo Town.

The guy who was hostile to them must have been observing them here for several days, but they just discovered each other today.

He cursed, swung his ax to cut open a patch of grass, and turned around to follow the original path downhill.

On the back slope of the hillside, on the lawn close to the ground below, the colorful circus tents were buried under the shade of the trees, and the bright colors were faintly visible among the branches and leaves.

Clayton looked at those tents and instinctively wanted to turn into a werewolf and go down there to kill them and feast on their flesh and blood. The nearest human settlement is the circus stationed here, and he has attributed the source of the evil to one of them.

"They look like mushrooms," Julius said of the tents huddled together.

But after he said it, this inadvertent thought seemed to give him a new revelation, causing him to think deeply again and come to a certain conclusion.

"Clayton, I seem to know what happened to those tomb robbers."

"What happened to them?" Clayton asked impatiently.

The wolf blood activated by killing and hunger made his mood unstable. He concentrated on observing the people entering and exiting those tents, and only allocated a little energy to deal with the wizard.

"Their situation is like stepping into a fairy circle. You know the fairy circle, right?"

Clayton devoted a little more energy to recalling and quickly answered him:

"Of course I do."

Fairy circles are fungi that grow in a ring on the ground. This kind of circle is used as a stage for fairies and goblins to play and dance. If a mortal accidentally steps into it, he will dance endlessly, and unless someone will Rescue this unfortunate guy, otherwise he will dance his solo dance inside forever, and after being rescued, they will lose this memory

"Do you think they have stepped into a fairy circle?" Clayton finally turned around.

"But there are almost no outsiders by the river. How can they get out on their own?"

Julius shook his head: "Forget those folk rumors. The fairy circle does not have that powerful magic power. It is just a special fungus with a hypnotic effect. When an animal approaches it, it will spray its spores. Come out, mess with the victim's memory, and have some psychedelic effects."
