Continuous stream

As soon as he left the hotel, Clayton walked directly to the stables. He wanted to check the condition of the horses. Until they came to the horses, he couldn't help but have random thoughts in his heart.

Julius made up a gangster identity for them, using many metaphors and pronouns, but he believed that Donna would soon realize what it meant - or maybe she already knew it and just didn't want to ask in public.

.

This is actually somewhat different from reality, but Clayton still has to find a way to convince Donna that this is just a joke.

Otherwise, if she sends a letter telling Tritis that her uncle has become a gang member in the city, he will not be able to see anyone when he returns to Butnu.

"I really have to praise your girl. Fortunately, she sent a horse here. Our plan to return to the city doesn't have to depend on the faces of the locals." Julius patted the saddle casually. This chestnut horse

The mare trembled uneasily at this.

"One horse can't carry three people," Clayton told him.

"But at least you can go back to the city and borrow another horse. I can still afford to wait for only two days."

Julius watched boredly as the lieutenant picked up a bunch of hay from the side to feed the horse. Donna came so unexpectedly last night that they had no time to notify the groom, so Perron could only take care of it, but the innkeeper

After getting a man, Perun had a lot to do, so he couldn't take good care of it, and he didn't even take off the saddle.

After Clayton finished feeding the horse, he held his hand in front of the horse's nose to familiarize it with his scent.

The wizard raised his eyebrows. He had never seen such behavior before: "Is this a werewolf's habit?"

Clayton took back his hand after smoothing the horse's mane: "This is a habit of a qualified horse breeder."

The lieutenant took off the saddle, placed it and the leather bags and bags hanging on both sides on the ground and looked through them slowly.

It would be faster to come here on horseback than a carriage, but it would take at least one night for Donna to come here from the city, and he wanted to see what the girl had prepared for the journey.

He successively dug out crushed biscuits, a thin blanket, bandages and a bottle of homemade ointment. The ointment smelled like verbena and seemed to be used to stop bleeding and detoxify.

This is not surprising. In many rural areas that have preserved a long tradition, women also serve as pharmacists in their families. They will learn relevant knowledge before getting married. This is the custom in the Nambuliga area including Batnu.

Clayton thought that Tritis might have made this as a gift to Donna. This was the kind of medicine that should be prepared when going out in the wild.

Julius took the other bag and checked it much faster than Clayton.

"Look what I found?" He pulled out a quite complete wolf skin from the bag and showed off, "This looks like the shawl you wore when you went into the sewer last time. It feels really warm to the touch."

Clayton took the wolf skin back, folded it, and put it back into the bag.

"Why are you so nervous?"

The lieutenant said with a straight face: "It's my fault. I forgot to find a place for him to sleep."

Wolfwalker Marshall used his own body to help him a lot. Although he could not block Athena's detection spell, it was his own fault and he touched the spell trap. After that, Marshall's wolf skin was still

He was isolated from the spider's mind control magic.

According to Butnu's custom, he should buy Marshall a good coffin, and it would be best to invite a sin-eater at the funeral as a reward.

"He's a shapeshifter?!"

Julius noticed the peculiarity of the personal pronouns he used, and shook his hands in horror, as if to shake off some invisible burden.

"It doesn't matter, he's a good man." Clayton tied the bag around his waist.

Donna probably brought it out to keep out the cold, which was nothing to blame, and he thought Marshall probably thought the same way.

"That's true."

Julius's mood retreated a little, but he fell into deep thought again before he finished his comment.

He has been like this since he came to Gevaux, and Clayton is used to it.

"We'll go to the church later and see if Padre Louis still wants to see anyone."

The flames on the street had been sheltered all night, and people drank salted wine according to the priest's instructions. No trace of the "beast" was found. The priest should have no reason to refuse visits from outsiders.

"Mr. Perun, where has my father been these days?"

Donna still cooperated with Clayton's disguise, but she was not familiar with the word "father", so speaking of it seemed more unfamiliar than using the title "uncle".

Pei Lun was sitting on a low bench in the back kitchen cleaning an empty wine barrel. He didn't expect that a guest would come here to talk to him.

He raised his head blankly: "Didn't Mr. Bello tell you?"

He thought that father and daughter always understood them better than outsiders.

Donna knelt down directly opposite Pei Lun and looked at him pleadingly: "He doesn't like me asking about work."

Pei Lun sighed. Facing this face, he couldn't say no.

"I remember some of what he said, if that reassures you."

Clayton Bello did indeed talk about a lot of things here, and he remembered them in his heart, because if what the other person said was true, he had a batch of things in his hands that could be sold.

"He sent me an announcement to recycle at a high price old ornaments with patina, old furniture, various decorations with enamel paint, gold paint, engraved belt buckles, waist chains, snuff bottles, and various old-fashioned commemorative medals.

"

Perun recalled with his fingers, reporting out the projects that Clayton Bello mentioned one by one, but did not notice the subtle disappointment in the girl's eyes.

"He only talked about buying and selling?" Donna asked.

"That's true."

Pei Lun nodded.

Donna thanked her disappointedly.

The innkeeper went into the kitchen to help the cook while Clayton and the Perot family were studying guns, so he was unaware of this supposedly suspicious incident.

For the same reason, Donna assumed he knew nothing about anything else.

At the same time, Pei Lun also concluded that the girl knew nothing about the situation in the town.

"You just came last night. I don't know if Mr. Bello told you that there is a werewolf in the town. The streets were so bright last night to prevent it, as well as the wine with salt. The priest said this can make the werewolf

When you get drunk, you transform into your original shape.”

Donna pursed her lips, noncommittal to this point of view.

But there is one thing that is indeed suspicious - her uncle has been treating her well so far, why didn't he remind her of this last night?

It's as if he is not worried about running into danger, but not out of trust in himself, but out of self-confidence.

No matter what, she must find out this. The strangely hidden red eyelids on the other party are the traits of a demon seducer, a madman, and even a lycanthrope with the tendency to eat corpses, combined with the information from the study of the Marlin Street mansion.

Aura, she was convinced that her uncle was the first type of person.

Human beings who make a deal with the devil will have part of their emotions eaten away, and then gradually give up more in order to obtain more powerful power, in order to break through the threshold of the last sacrifice and obtain a more twisted alien mind.

Sacrificing blood relatives is the only way for the fallen to pursue alienation.

But during this time together, she did not feel the malice caused by going astray, which also proved that her uncle could still be saved.

And that unending misfortune may be related to the devil's curse.

If she could know what he was looking for, she might be able to put an end to it all.

Donna was lost in thought until Perun's voice woke her up.

"Mr. Bello and Mr. Julius went to the river not long ago for a walk. Well, they went there with an ax and brought back a wild boar. I think they were looking for something. If you

If you want to see where they went, I can find someone to show you the way."

Donna blinked and stood up.

Pei Lun thought she agreed to his suggestion, so he stood up and prepared to find a local girl for help.

The girl stopped him: "No, I want to walk around the town first."

Then there was no need to ask someone to accompany her, the town was very safe - Pei Lun had never received the girl's oath and guarantee, so he sat down relaxedly.

"Mr. Perun, if my father comes back, just tell him that I went to church, okay?"

The questioning tone made Pei Lun feel vaguely uncomfortable, but he couldn't figure out what went wrong, so he nodded and agreed.

Although Mr. Clayton Bello is usually kind, he is not so kind when something makes him unhappy. In addition, Perun cannot bear to let such a lovely girl endure it.

Ruthless scolding.

It would be great if I could marry her, Pei Lun thought dreamily as he watched her leave.

But he himself also knew that this was just a fantasy. Girls all liked life in the city, and no one wanted to live in the countryside where life in Gevaux was so inconvenient. There was a lovely girl like this in Gevaux before, and that was Lak.

Adelaide from the Si family, but this one also left last month. It was said that he was taken away by people from the city.

Pei Lun's fantasy time did not last long. Just a short time after the girl left the hotel, another group of outsiders came here.

There were three of them in total. They were dressed like decent city dwellers, but it was clear that this was a disguise. The calluses on their hands and tight sleeves revealed their identities as manual workers, and they had malicious intentions.

Looking around, people can see at a glance that their inner qualities are not consistent with their outer appearance.

These people are similar to some of the guests Perun received last month.

However, the leader asked Perron to connect him with Clayton Bello.

He also has black semi-curly hair, is tall and has long arms, and is very burly. Not only that, he also has a similar temperament to Clayton Bello. With Donna's experience, Perun naturally regarded him as Clayton's relative.

, I’m just wondering that all the relatives of Clayton Bello seem to want to come to Gevoux this week, which is too coincidental.

"Are you here to see Mr. Clayton Bello?" he asked politely.

The three people were stunned, and then the leader nodded: "Yes, we are looking for him. Where is he?"

"He went out, but I don't know when he will come back. If you don't want to wait here, you can leave your name and I will tell him when he comes back." Pei Lun took out his account book and pen and waited for them to speak.

"Just do it. You tell him, Winston Jean S."

When the surname was mentioned, the black-haired man frowned anxiously and gave up: "Forget it, just tell him that Winston is looking for him and it was Big Paul who introduced us."

I found that the previous price quoted for the necklace was too outrageous, so I revised the price to four shillings.
