Chapter 260： The so-called werewolf

The words of little girl Betty made the atmosphere in the pub tense.

Lily, who was walking towards the back kitchen not far away, suddenly stopped. She turned her head slowly and looked at Victor. The **** wood cleaver appeared in her right hand sometime.

Victor felt that Lily's eyes looked at her as if he was looking at a piece of raw meat, his body stiffened instinctively, and his right hand unconsciously grasped the void.

His wand is now hidden in the battle wand sleeve on his right arm. This thing has exhausted all the Jin Jialong he borrowed from the student program.

But the effect is also very good, now as long as his mind moves the wand, it will fly into his hand.

At this moment, he really wanted to directly summon a wand to cast a flame curse here, because Lily's sense of oppression was too strong for him.

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

But then?

There are all werewolves outside, and the surrounding village of Hatch is also full of wilderness. In this case, even if you can get out of the siege, you will eventually be hunted and killed by these werewolves.

After thinking over and over again, Victor finally gave up the urge to do it directly, and began to throw out the rhetoric he had prepared before he set off.

"Oh! That's what I used to hold souvenirs. My real luggage is here."

Victor lightly patted his big backpack on his back, and then smiled at Betty.

It's just that 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 best!"

Betty recommended warmly.

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

"Betty, I want to call my brother. This little brother is not that old yet."

"Hey? Really?"

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

"It turns out that brother, you are so young! Betty was wrong and just kept calling your uncle." The little girl Betty lowered her head and said aggrievedly, but before Victor could say anything to comfort her, she asked like a bullet, "Then brother, you What's your name? Where do you come from? Are you still in school?"

Victor has been observing Lily from the corner of the eye, seeing that she has been slowly approaching while the two talked, and stepped back quietly, while smiling and replied:

"My name is Victor Dawn. You can call me Victor. Besides, I'm from London and I'm attending Eton College."

After hearing Victor’s answer, Lily, who was holding the bone cutter, suddenly showed a look of surprise, and said:

"Isn't Eton College that famous aristocratic school? Unexpectedly, Mr. Dawn, you are still a noble young master. But also, can you tell me about the number of girls in Eton College?"

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

Victor didn’t say the second half of the sentence, but Lily had already understood what he meant. She covered her chest with her free left hand, and said embarrassingly:

"Oh! I'm so ignorant, I made you laugh, Mr. Dawn."

"If there is nothing, just call me Victor."

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

If I followed her question and began to describe how the girl at Eton College was, I am afraid that the bone cutter will be cut in the next moment.

Next, Lily asked Victor many more questions, some of which were probing, some were pure questions, such as how did you come here at such a young age.

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

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

Her eyes flashed, and countless questions about London came out of her mouth.

And Victor is also very knowledgeable about her problems. He can see that this little girl should have lived in the country since she was a child, so she yearned for a big city like London very much.

The interrogation between the two went for a long time, and it was not until 16:00 that Lily stopped and asked Betty to lead Victor to the room.

Betty was obviously still more than satisfied. She pouted her mouth and brought Victor to the room in a gloomy mood. Before leaving, she asked Victor if she could continue the topic at a later date.

Of course, Victor agreed.

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

Lily didn't lie to him, the room that brought him was very clean, and it seemed that it was 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 care too much, because he didn't intend to sleep here.

To be precise, he is not going to sleep in these two days. After all, this is a wolf's den, so if you are not sure that he will be cracked when sleeping.

After taking a shower, when Victor came downstairs again, the tavern was already lively. Dozens of men and women crowded in such a tavern to eat and drink under the bright yellow light, and the crowd would burst out from time to time. Laugh.

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

The atmosphere began to become weird, and Victor stepped back slightly, ready to run away at any time.

At this time Lily came out of the counter. She grabbed Victor and said embarrassedly:

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

Lily's words were exactly what Victor wanted, he nodded slightly, and slowly backed away.

As soon as he stepped on the stairs, he quickly turned around and ran upstairs at his fastest speed.

He acted like a frightened child, and everyone in the tavern showed face and burst into laughter.

But Victor stopped suddenly when he reached the second floor. A black and brown wand appeared in his hand. He waved the wand while chanting the spell softly. The next moment he saw a circle of transparent ripples in the air. The ripples came, and with the appearance of this layer of ripples, Victor's figure also began to blur, and finally disappeared in place.

Victor didn't stop there. After releasing the Phantom Charm, he released the Silent Charm to cover his steps, and then slowly walked down the stairs.

The tavern on the first floor is still very lively, Victor half leaned in the corner of the dark staircase, silently observing the people in the tavern.

The clothes on these people are dirty, and most of their boots still have mud. They should be farmers from nearby farms. After a busy day, they rode to the tavern for a drink.

And after eavesdropping for a while, Victor discovered that it was him that they were talking about now.

"Hey, Lily, why are you taking that kid in? Don't you know it's dangerous to do so?"

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

"Yes, that group of wizards will not allow so many of us to live in this place. If they know about it, they will definitely drive us away. I don't want to leave here. Life here is too easy."

The atmosphere in the tavern became low, and everyone bowed their heads and remained silent.

Suddenly, a big beard with a beard raised his glass and drank it all, then roared:

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

The opinion of the big man quickly won the approval of many people. Perhaps they were prepared to do this a long time ago, but they are not far from the name of the instigator.

Under the stimulation of alcohol, the men were so excited that they wanted to rush upstairs to kill Victor.

At this moment, Lily slapped the counter fiercely. Everyone seemed to be afraid of Lily. They were all stunned by the loud noise.

"Shut up to me! We are humans, not beasts! Logan, you are really good at it now! Have you forgotten who fleeed crying and crying and begging us to accept it? Ah?"

As soon as this remark came out, the brawny bearded man who was still excited and cheeked went straight away. After a while, he said aggrieved:

"I...I am doing this for your good."

Everyone agreed.

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

Just like some extreme AIDS patients in Muggle society, some werewolves like to do things that turn others into their own kind.

They often attack farmers who live on remote farms, and then lightly bite everyone on the arm.

Then, a new litter of werewolves was born.

Lupin also contracted werewolf disease in this way, but compared to him, other werewolves were obviously more pitiful.

First of all, people around will treat them as monsters, and when they transform to make things worse, the Ministry of Magic will be there to register and erase the relevant traces before telling them that they are not allowed to appear in front of Muggles, and finally they are Throw it into the wilderness to fend for itself.

The wizards call this a humane spirit. In their opinion, it is no longer merciful to kill the werewolf in the first place.

But this is a nightmare for the victims!

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

But the Ministry of Magic does not allow wolves to live in crowds, because this will easily lead to a force against the Ministry of Magic, so once the village is discovered by the Ministry, destruction is their only end.

Thinking of this, and recalling the tragic experience of these people, Lily's eyes flashed with an unbearable look, and she sighed and said:

"Well, 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!"

When it comes to Betty, the crazy eyes of everyone present all soften.

Betty is their little angel.

To be precise, every child is their angel, and Betty, this child, is even more of an angel among angels.

The reason is very simple. Betty, the child's heart, is too pure. When it is pure, they are not willing to hurt her at all, either physically or mentally.

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

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

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

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

"We see, Boss Lily." Logan, the burly beard, sat down after thinking for a while and said, "Just let that kid live another night."

Everyone seemed to be convinced by this man named Logan. After he made a decision, they all sat back in their seats, but their mood was a little depressed, and they seemed to remember the tragic experience before.

And Lily at the counter slammed down the counter when she heard the words, and shouted hideously:

"How many times have I said it! Don't call me the boss! Call me sister Lili!"

She was angry that Logan immediately turned into a quail, and saw him shrinking his head, lowering his head, and saying in a very low tone that everyone present can hear:

"I see, boss Lily."

As soon as the words came out, everyone in the tavern burst into laughter, and Lily originally wanted to teach Logan again, but seeing everyone laughed, the anger on her face could no longer be pretended. Laughed like everyone else.

The joyous atmosphere was restored in the tavern.

But Victor in the shadow of the stairs has a heavy face.

He is very tangled at this moment.

About the origin of werewolves and werewolf disease He knows very well, so he naturally knows that the werewolves in front of him are all poor people and victims.

Especially the little girl named Betty.

It can be heard from their talk and the girl's name to Lily that the little girl named Betty should not be Lily's biological daughter, but she escaped from the outside and was adopted by Lily.

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

At the same time, there was a hint of compassion in his heart.

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

‘They are all poor people. Otherwise, just let them go. Anyway, if you run now, there is still a whole night away. They should not be able to catch up with you. ’

Several times he was almost persuaded. After all, the game has just begun, and he still has a lot of time to hunt down other dark magic creatures. If they let them go, they will not necessarily lose.

But reason told him that due to the international secrecy law, it is very rare to gather together hundreds of werewolves like this, and I might never encounter so many dark magic creatures in the future.

"What should I do!"

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