Blood Contract: 血色契约: Xue Se Qi Yue
Blood Contract, Chapter 63: the werewolf in the forest
A golden roasted leg of a lamb was handed to Zero.
Zero looked up and back at Rui. The man was really good looking, but he was dumb and had a strange temper. Sometimes Zero felt that he was not sociable.
Zero took the leg, Rui sat next to him and chewed at his share.
Zero looked at the person who was sitting quietly beside him, and he chewed the leg of the lamb attentively. This familiar feeling reminded him of Ai-Sha. A large canine creature also accompanied Zero peacefully every night. He would eat his own food attentively, and sometimes look up at Zero directly. His eyes are full of longing or whimper to please. At this time, Zero will insert his hand into the dog hair. When he does this, the dog whimpered comfortably and even dares to rub against Zero.
Habit is a terrible thing. It torments him even more than missing someone!
Zero's movements suddenly stopped. He looked at his hand strangely. He habitually treats Rui as a dog. His outstretched hand touched Rui's hair, causing the hawk's gaze to stare at him. Rui looked at Zero suspiciously, and Zero smiled and took back his hand, then bit it on the leg of the lamb.
Rui looked at Zero strangely, and Zero bits the leg of the lamb fiercely, as if the leg of the lamb had hatred with him. Those cold eyes were flashing with hatred, rather than resentment! It felt like... It's like an expression after a quarrel with a lover. Rui frowned and shook off his thoughts.
"Zero! It turned out that you are here. They are all dancing. Why don't you go through such a bustle?” A girl came running here, her face red and lovely.
“I don't like it very much." Zero refused with a faint smile.
The girl tooted. “How old are you? Talking like an old man!” I don't like it very much!" Get rid of that old man talk!”
The girl booed her tongue and amused Zero with her old voice.
“Go, go over there!” The girl took Zero's hand and dragged him up from the ground. Zero could not beat her, so he had to stand up obediently.
The girl pulled up Zero and teased Rui: "Rui you are not allowed to leave the team! We are a family!”
Rui nodded in silence, his face not wavering at all.
So the girl pushed two stuffy logs towards the dancing people.
The group leader, Sam, hugged women left and right, and made a group of women overjoyed. This guy's female following has always been good. Sam saw the girl "holding" Zero and Rui, and laughed happily: “Elena has the ability to move these two people."
The woman in Sam's arms joked: "How dare these two boys pay for the beauty of the eldest lady?"
“Aunt! Dad! Don't talk about it!” Elena blushed.
”Haha, my daughter is even shy!” Teased Sam. Everyone laughed friendly. Elena is Sam's adopted daughter.
Though the mercenary's work is dangerous, Sam provides a good life for these women and children. For these people, Sam is their God.
Zero smiled. Maybe that's what he wants... to live in peace.
If possible, he would like to continue to live with these people for a while, but their destination this time made Zero a little uneasy – the Capital! The imperial capital of the Sangyang Island, the political center, and the territory of the White Emperor.
The royal family recruits’ people once a year, and there will be many mercenaries present. The royal family will announce the title of the competition, which is the unsolvable monsters or solving the mysterious events in the year. The mercenaries who can solve these problems will not only get reputation, but also many rewards. Reputation is equal to wealth and fortune for them, which means that more people will hire them. Money come more easily, and the natural risk factor will increase relatively.
Even if you don't get the name of the game when you go to the capital, you will have a lot of chances to take over the business. Many rich people like to hire trusted mercenaries in the capital.
For the mercenary regiment, the competition represents fame and money, but it's not a good place for Zero. He still remembers how complicated Lyra's expression was when he revealed his identity! Zero doesn't want to and won't cause such trouble again!
“Little guy, you really don't want to go to the capital with us?” Sam asked Zero as he kept warm with women.
Zero fiddled with the wine bowl and mumbled. He hated to be separated from them, Zero was still reluctant to leave such a comfortable life.
“Want to go somewhere else?" asked Sam, who had a bit of a problem keeping shut today and seemed to be drunk.
Zero shook his head and said, “You can’t die if you're hungry."
”Haha, you don't ask for much.“ Sam took a big sip of the alcohol. Elena, who was pouring alcohol on the side, was not happy. The child had taken Zero as a part of their family. She gave her Dad a look and the eldest one was not happy.
”Follow us when there's no place you want to go!” Sam received the" command "from his beloved daughter, decisively making decisions for Zero, demonstrating the consistent hegemonic nature.
“This, I can't...” Zero was a little embarrassed.
Sam glanced at Zero and said to Rui.” Your life was saved by him. He is one of my man. He is a member of Sam mercenary Regiment. We never do things for others for nothing. Go ahead, pay him the hire fee first."
Sam was totally in a dilemma, even suspected of looting him. Zero looked at Rui, who was silent and expressionless. Zero sighed, saying that the debt is really owed, and the last thing that Zero wants is to be indebted to others.
“If you don't have money, follow us until you pay off the debt.” said Sam domineering. The rest of the people even follow blindly, all of them agree. Zero wryly laughed, wondering for a while whether he has met a trafficker or fallen into the hands of the loan shark mafia.
“Well, from today on, you are going to work here until you have paid off the debt!” Sam decided that he didn't give Zero a chance to say a word! There is no omission in the essence of hegemony! Where he is a mercenary, he is a tyrant!
Zero was silent. But the people were jubilant! Regardless of Zero's wishes!
But Zero's heart was warm.
”Family? It's a warm noun." Zero thought to himself, why don't you stay with them for a while longer? The white player will not appear in front of mercenaries for no reason. It will not be too late to escape when you realize something is wrong.
Zero made a dark decision. Let’s be merciful! Help them solve this mercenary task and leave!
At night, Zero was awakened by the sounds. He listened carefully to the movement outside, carefully opened a corner of the tent, and saw a big black shadow outside from the gap. The black shadow put out the fire, the sky was too dark to see the other person’s face, but the strange atmosphere made Zero feel that something was climbing on his back, which was very uncomfortable.
The dark shadow walked towards the forest. Zero was curious. He climbed out of the tent quietly and carefully walked around the pots and pans on the ground. The dark shadow woke Zero only when he touched the pots and pans, so he was very careful.
When entering the woods, Zero suddenly felt that the power in his body began to stir, or to be excited. This feeling was very strange. It was like a person with good skills would feel itchy and want to fight with an opponent with equal ability.
In fact, this feeling is not strange. When he met a werewolf in the daytime today, this feeling was sneaking to him!
It's a delicate feeling to subtle! It feel like the blood is boiling. At the same time, Zero felt that the ring on his hand emit more power than usual. It seemed that when he meets an opponent, it emits power as a sign its ready for him confront the other person.
Is there a werewolf around here?
Zero has heard that werewolves and vampires are natural enemies. Does vampire feel the existence of werewolves?
At the same time, Zero found that the fluctuation of power brought by the vampire blood in his body was more and more obvious. If he had doubts about the fact that he was Childe, his recent changes had made him accept the fact that he was Childe. Maybe it was because he recognized the blood, the blood responded, and he became more and more like a vampire!
In addition, Zero has been drinking a little animal's blood intentionally or unintentionally recently. His desire for blood was becoming stronger and stronger!
Thinking that there may be werewolves around here, and that werewolves come and go freely in and out of the mercenary regiment, and they appear after everyone is asleep, Zero felt cold chill! If it attacks, the consequences are unimaginable!
Thinking of this, Zero decided to find out the werewolf and solve him tonight! So as to never let him continue to threaten the lives of those people!
So Zero slowly released his power, and the divine consciousness separated from his body to scan the scene within ten miles. In the dark forest, the moonlight could not penetrate the leaves, and cast mottled shade through the gap.
The branches and leaves of the trees are like the arms stretched out by ghosts. It's gloomy and terrifying! The mottled shade shook as if there were ghosts everywhere.
Zero's divine consciousness searched all over the forest, and suddenly a bloody scent feeling made Zero's divine consciousness freeze! Smell of blood! The keen sense of smell of vampire made Zero catch it. Zero's divine consciousness drew closer. He could see a tall black shadow in the mottled shade of the tree. He can't see clearly with the light on his back, but Zero can be sure that he is the black shadow Zero saw in the tent!
The divine consciousness turned to the front of the shadow and caught a picture. There were many pheasant feathers on the ground and a few drops of blood. The blood was still dripping on the ground. The strange picture was even more terrible against the gloomy forest atmosphere.
The divine consciousness "raised" the head, as expected saw the werewolf! The wolf man with gray hair was holding a pheasant. He is sucking blood. His mouth was full of blood. He looked disgusted.
Zero looked carefully and found that this werewolf was different from the one he saw in the daytime. The whole body of the werewolf he saw in the daytime was full of hair and looked more like a wolf. The wolf front of him, his face shape was more like a person, exactly like a person with a hairy face. Besides the wolf hair on his face and neck, the hands were still human hands. Looking again, he is still wearing pants.
Zero recalled that there was once a data that said werewolves only turn into wolves on the night of full moon. They are usually human beings in other days. Although this statement is rejected here, is there any exception? For example, if werewolves have more human blood? Would they be half human and half wolf?
Or someone bitten by a werewolf, who hasn't met the first full moon night yet, so hasn't become a werewolf completely?
Zero has a strange feeling. He even felt a sense of familiarity with a werewolf!
see yall next week
