Werewolf hunting rules

The conflict with the thief worm was really an accident, but Clayton also confirmed through Edwards' performance that he did not actually have the ability to read minds.

This information is important.

If Edwards was just able to tell if other people were lying, then Creighton had a way around it.

The reason why he has always suspected that Edwards is not a qualified partner is because most of what the dark wizard said about this country actually lied. Edwards was not giving unilaterally. The people of this country gave received remuneration of equal value to him.

Edwards helped the people here to eliminate their desires and resist corruption, while at the same time absorbing these desires to regain their ability to enjoy themselves.

The first thing the devil's servant devours is his own emotions and desires.

Clayton also came into contact with another person who had experience in slaving demons - Spider Priest Athena Burruge.

Although the two parties had not interacted with each other very often, Clayton could still tell that the woman was very obsessed. She only had goals in her eyes and did not even care about her own children. For her, pleasure was even more important. redundant activities.

In theory, the Spider Priest who lived less than three hundred years is better than Edwards who lived for at least three hundred years, but the reality is that Edwards has richer emotions.

The closer people were to him in the court, the more "lazy" or "boring" they appeared, precisely because he absorbed the desires of others to retain his own humanity.

There is only one Edwards in this country.

Only when he wants to communicate with others will he return his desires and bring those puppets back to life.

Such behavior has no credibility at all. No businessman wants to find a partner with low credibility. If it weren't for the fear that Donna would be corrupted by Wonderland, Clayton would immediately terminate the cooperation with this bluffing dark wizard - no one would Know how many loopholes a dark wizard can find and exploit in simple protocols.

If the people of this country have been completely dominated by Edwards, maybe Clayton will be brought to the human world to be killed after opening the door to fairyland, or he may be forced to sign some contract with strict terms and become a servant forever.

Many swindlers said they could take people to the colonies to make a fortune, but if someone who didn't understand the local language went with them, they would be sold into slavery as soon as they went to sea.

Clayton had seen many such tragedies during his service.

After taking this point into consideration, Edwards's idea of ​​​​returning to the world with other citizens of this side is that he has another agenda.

But it's unclear whether the current citizens here deserve Clayton's sympathy, and he doesn't intend to seek justice for a group of strangers.

He just wanted a different partner.

People who are just dominated by Edwards will never tell him other options.

So, are there still people in this country who oppose Edwards?

Of course there is.

"Let Louis talk to the Scarecrow," Clayton said to his niece.

After a while, a dove was released by the witch.

They were originally worried that other spellcasters or archers loyal to Edwards would take the initiative to intercept the messenger, but most people in this country had become lazy and stupid because of their desires, and they had no such idea at all.

"Then what do we do now?" Donna asked nervously.

She didn't know anything, but the experience of being attacked by magic still made her wary. The originally comfortable castle became dangerous in her eyes.

"We?" Clayton shook his head: "It's time for you to go to bed."

"I slept before dinner."

Donna said seriously as she looked at Clayton's face, the image of the spear piercing it reappearing in her mind.

Creighton knew that he could not convince her, so he could only sigh and handed her the list of living sacrifices that Edwards had given him.

The girl took the list in confusion and started reading. Then her face became more and more angry as she read. After reading all the contents, she tore the paper into pieces and hurriedly stepped on the scraps of paper several times. , as if someone else would put them together.

"Let's get out of here now!"

"No, we have to find out if there is anything I want here first. That's why I asked you to inform Louis."

Donna was silent and said nothing more.

Clayton began to devote his attention to Clara.

From the beginning, Clara had been watching them curiously but saying nothing.

After the banquet, her growth rate accelerated a lot. Some light red synapses grew first, followed by bones and flesh, and finally skin.

Clayton could already see Bai Sensen's collarbone. He couldn't help but feel moved by seeing a butterfly larvae forming a cocoon, but he was also worried because she looked more and more like Athena Bollugo.

"Clara." Creighton called her name and warned: "Don't talk to Edwards, that bumbling gray-haired one."

"Um--"

She didn't say yes or no, Clara made a thoughtful expression.

This alone is surprising enough.

But being smart is a good thing.

Clayton checked with Donna again about Clara's situation and confirmed that their abilities were not yet able to compete with Edwards, let alone modify other people's desires and emotions.

The curse mark left to her by Principal Fatea of ​​Bracola can only protect her memory passively and cannot be used actively.

But with the help of a powerful enough spellcaster, she might be able to try to use the seal to contact Bracora.

This is rare good news.

When the morning bell rang on the "next day", they came to the auditorium according to their respective identities.

Edwards was waiting there, looking like he had some questions to ask, but there was something more important than Creighton's possible suspicion.

"A guest from this world is here, and it's time for you to receive her," he said.

"So fast?"

Edwards was in an unexpectedly good mood. He smiled slightly and answered Clayton: "There is a whole world of people dreaming outside of Wonderland."

Clayton was startled and realized that there might be many more people visiting this country than he thought.

The first visitor he received was a girl with flaxen hair who looked about the same age as Donna and had a ladylike temperament by contemporary standards. She looked at the gorgeous decorative racks in the castle and the retro costumes of the attendants, acting confused and curious. She stopped from time to time, turned around and looked around. It seemed that she thought she had really entered a beautiful place that only existed in fairy tales. country.

Clayton looked at her repeatedly, but he couldn't see any difference between this body temporarily shaped by the dream and his own.

He feigned hospitality to the girl, and under his deliberate inducement it was not difficult to understand her experience.

The girl's name is Alice, and she is also Dornish. While playing in the garden, she accidentally stepped into a rabbit hole, and then when she opened her eyes, she came to Wonderland, not knowing how she got there.

"Go to the doctor first when you wake up." Clayton warned her. The child had obviously fainted.

Although she didn't know why the king said this, Alice obediently agreed to him.

Afterwards, she was sent to stay with Princess Donna to eat cookies and drink juice.

Creighton did not mention the Fairy Gate to her, and even Edwards seemed uninterested and did not accuse the king of his negligence.

Because no one would expect such a little girl to kill twenty-one people, even if she was paid to kill.

But soon, a second visitor appeared.

This time it was a playwright from the Republic of Trelles. He seemed curious about everything around him, but unlike Alice, he was unwilling to say his name, and he also did not trust the people in this country. For everything he said, he was just addicted to his own world, believing that everything he saw here was a prank made by his friends, and everyone in this country was an actor.

In a sense he was right.

But this also made Edwards' deception impossible.

No matter how much they tried to persuade them, the playwright just sneered and said that he would not be the butt of the prank. Instead, he would record everything and treat them as characters in the next comedy for them to play. The audience provides the jokes.

Cretton admired the playwright's firm will, but his counterattack displeased him.

Edwards seems to be used to the appearance of this kind of character, and even the gestures to summon the executioner are so skillful.

"Offending His Majesty is a capital crime. Come and hang him on the gallows!"

There was a bit of genuine anger in his tone. If he really thought about Clayton, our King would probably be moved.

Death does not exist in Wonderland, but the pain of injury will not be reduced by half.

Creighton mercifully exchanged the death sentence for twenty lashes.

This was not only revenge on the playwright for making him into a comic character, but also the truth to prevent the playwright from finding himself in Wonderland if he survived the hanging. If he knew the truth, he might become greedy and be tempted by Edwards' conditions.

In order to open the door to fairyland, Edwards was willing to pay the entire country's gold, which was not a small sum. The gold pounds exchanged for Dorne were at least two million pounds.

After seeing off the two visitors, Clayton thought he could rest for a while, but a third visitor followed.

The third guest seems to be a low-end criminal who can work in the black market. He calls himself Beamon and comes from a small country near the Mediterranean where even the rules of fairyland cannot translate the specific name (maybe both of these information are false) . He is short in stature, has fingers that look like an anteater's tongue, and has a very vulgar expression. He looks like the kind of person who would often squat down and cut off other people's wallets.

This Mr. Beamon is the complete opposite of the previous playwright.

The playwright rejects everything, while he accepts everything, but this completely amplifies his own sense of distrust.

"This may be hard for you to accept, but we need twenty-one lives to open the door." After figuring out this man's ability, Clayton could finally say these words fearlessly.

"Compensation is not an issue," Edwards stressed.

Hearing the word "reward", Beamon immediately patted his chest and straightened his waist: "No problem, my brother just grabbed a Mansis ketch at sea, which was full of people. As long as you give With pure gold, it’s not a problem for me to kill a hundred people!”

Edwards patiently taught him how to arrange the magic circle, while Clayton looked at Beamon's chapped mouth and white robes that were more suitable for wearing in the desert, and had doubts about whether he lived by the sea.

Although the dark wizard has powerful magic, he obviously does not have a clear understanding of people who grow up in different geographical locations.

Clayton tried not to laugh at him, lest the strangeness be noticed.

Without his reminder, after getting the layout method of the magic circle, Mr. Beamon also made a request for a high deposit, and said that without a deposit, there would be no head.

Edwards, who finally discovered his unreliable nature, rewarded him with every punishment in the country.

This measure made Clayton, who was leaning on the throne, suddenly have the desire to eat, and the screams awakened the werewolf's appetite.
