Chapter 103: The Lord of Running Wolf(1/2)
Looking at Lei Ze who was marking Famas's scent, Wendy felt a strange sense of crisis. After clenching her little fists, she stared at the two intimate people with a kind smile.
While Wendy was looking at Lei Ze, he also reached out and patted Famas on the shoulder.
Then, he said in an unskilled questioning tone: "Famas, Wendy, why are you here?"
Lei Ze spoke intermittently, like a stutter, but if you listen carefully, it feels different from a stutter.
It's more like a situation where you don't speak much, so you don't have enough control over your mouth muscles.
"We're here to play with you, Lei Ze."
Hearing the boy's question, Wendy stopped Famas who wanted to speak, blocked him behind her, and said to Lei Ze with a smile.
"Come to play with me?"
Lei Ze did not notice the inexplicable charm in Wendy's eyes, but said to the two of them quite seriously: "Black Wolf, it is dangerous to act recklessly."
From Lei Ze's intermittent explanation, Wendy learned that there is a group of black wolves that always come to Wolf Ridge to cause trouble. Although they are driven away by Lei Ze and the wolves every time, there are still fewer and fewer prey nearby.
, and it is becoming more and more dangerous. Even lone wolves who originally belonged to the running wolf leader are often attacked by black wolves.
In order for his family not to go hungry, Lei Ze would let the wolves eat first every time he hunted prey, preferring to go hungry himself.
Before dealing with those Qiuqiu people, Lei Ze drove away a group of black wolves.
"Hooo!"
Just as Lei Ze was talking to the two of them, a cold winter wind suddenly blew in the sky in the Running Wolf Territory, and then, a wolf howl that was more touching than any before reached Famas's ears.
Inside.
"A very familiar cry."
Famas nodded.
Lei Ze closed his eyes, and after quietly recalling the meaning of the roar, he slowly glanced at Famas.
"It's King Wolf... Boreas, he wants to see Famas."
Even though they were separated by an unknown distance, Famas still felt a sense of oppression when the roar sounded. It seemed as if an invisible giant wolf appeared in the sky, unleashing its power on the entire Wolf Territory.
Pressure.
Although Famas didn't understand the language of the wolves, he could hear the joy and complexity in the howls. Boreas...a familiar but strange name.
"Is it who I'm thinking of?"
Famas said to Wendy vaguely.
"Yes."
Wendy gave an accurate answer.
"However, I won't accompany you to see him."
Wendy blinked and showed a soft yet playful smile, "I still have the great responsibility of being [Mondstadt's most beloved bard]."
"You're not going to teach people how to write poetry, are you?"
Famas said helplessly, this guy ignores the responsibility of the God of Wind, but prefers to go around messing around with women, drinking and causing trouble.
However, what Famas didn't know was that in addition to teaching the residents of Mondstadt to write poetry, Wendy also had another important thing to do.
That is to remove the pattern painted on his belly by Famas.
Now, as soon as Wendy got close to Famas, she felt a burning sensation in her lower abdomen. The strange feeling stimulated him, and she couldn't help but want to hug the man in red in front of her.
"Hey."
Wendy's figure flickered in place for a few times, leaving an afterimage: "Although I don't know what happened, you two should hurry over."
The sound disappeared at the end of the running wolf collar.
"Anyway, let's go there first, we can't wait too long..."
Lei Ze watched Wendy go away and said intermittently.
Famas understood what Lei Ze meant. He didn't want to keep Lord Boreas waiting.
Lei Ze took him and ran towards the depths of the forest, where the wolves were most densely packed.
Although Lei Ze ran very fast, it would still take some effort to get there with just one pair of feet. Famas's feet left the ground, and the flames gathered under his feet and floated in front. He was about to take him with him
As Lei Ze moved forward, a small water slime suddenly appeared at Famas' feet and then exploded.
The clear liquid and the sticky slime gel directly extinguished the flames at Famas' feet.
"Eh?"
"Don't set fire in the forest..."
Lei Ze said blankly to Famas, and pulled Famas floating in the air with his hand.
Looking at the silver-haired boy, Famas nodded.
After more than half an hour of trekking through mountains and rivers, the three of them arrived at the end of Benlangling Mountain.
What appears in front of you is an area exuding coldness and deep blue light.
At the end of the forest surrounded by trees, there is a circular altar that clearly shows traces of man-made artifacts. It is well-preserved, except for the vines covering the altar, which show traces of time. The wolf head carving on the stone wall is so lifelike that it can be seen clearly.
From far away, you can feel the cold atmosphere and solemn divinity.
Above the circular altar, you can vaguely see the figures of some wolves.
The aloof wolves always bow their heads when facing this altar, appearing very pious.
"The Demon God of the North Wind, Andrius."
Famas sighed with emotion. He had met Andrius, the Demon God of the North Wind, a long time ago. Although the two were not good friends, they were not enemies either.
Andrius was one step ahead of him in resisting the tornado demon god Diekalapian, but the wolf-shaped demon god failed, and finally understood that the harsh north wind can only extinguish life, not nourish it. At the end of life
, it lets its power flow into this land and forever protects the earth and its inhabitants.
"What is the North Wind Demon God?"
Lei Ze lowered his head piously, and then looked at Famas.
"This is where Lord Boreas sleeps. The Altar of the North Wind and the wolves will offer it and worship it if they seek his help."
"Offer?"
"Boars, deer, birds, Lord Boreas, I like them."
What a greedy king wolf.
Thinking of this, Famas couldn't help but smile.
Now, Andrius has passed away, leaving only a remnant soul, the so-called [King Wolf] Boreas.
Famas's eyes moved away from the mural deep inside the altar, and instead looked at the bloody sword inserted in the center of the altar.
I have to say, this is quite strange. In the middle of the empty altar, there is actually a two-handed sword that exudes blood and sorrow.
The pitch-black sword hilt seemed to be made of the strongest obsidian, with patterns similar to those on the murals, like wolf heads. The cross-shaped sword grid and the blade above all showed a red color.
It's as if hot magma is flowing inside the sword.
There are several claw marks visible to the naked eye on the spine of the sword, as if it had been scratched severely by some creature with sharp claws.
Perhaps because no one has taken care of it for a long time, this sword is covered with thick dust and exudes a cold atmosphere.
But even so, the dust does not diminish its power and dominance at all.
It seems that just inserting it here is enough to drive away evil, suppress the mountains, and protect the surrounding mountains and forests to maintain peace forever.
Slowly walking towards the center of the altar, the originally calm and sunny sky was suddenly covered with a layer of frosty mist.
The mist spread with the wind, directly covering the entire surrounding altar.
Facing the sudden change, Famas looked indifferently and looked at the mural not far away.
At this time, dazzling ice crystals emerged from the pupils of the wolf head on the stone wall, as if it had gained life under the cover of this frost mist, and a stream of gravel-like ice and snow roared in the cold wind.
It is flying, almost tearing people's skin and causing blood to coagulate.
A huge wolf, tens of meters long, exuding cold air, slowly emerged from the mural.
The giant blue-eyed wolf's huge body emerged from the wind and snow, and the earth trembled.
The surrounding snowflakes are flying faster and faster, and the air is getting colder.
Lei Ze suddenly felt a little strange. [King Wolf of the North Wind] Lord Boreas, although there is always a biting cold wind when he appears, today, it seems to be colder.
Sure enough, it is worthy of the title of King Wolf and is quite imposing, but its body does not seem to be made of flesh and blood.
"You are alive, Lord of War."
When Famas carefully observed Boreas's strange translucent body, the latter opened his eyes slightly and spoke in a clear tone.
"Who are you now? The Demon God of the North Wind, or the Lord of the Running Wolf?"
Hearing the rolling sound of the giant blue-and-white wolf, Famas asked indifferently.
