"Bertie, I can't believe I'm seeing you again. How did you get me out?"
As the sun set, Bertie, wearing a medieval lady's windbreaker, walked down the street with Carmen with his head lowered.
Carmen was so thin at this time, he looked skinny and hungry, but his eyes were bright, like the stars at night.
Bod lowered her head and said nothing. She didn't want to answer the question.
Carmen was frustrated and felt a little bored, so she changed the subject and said, "Bertie, how have you been these past few days? I'm particularly worried about you here."
"real?"
Bod stopped and looked back at Carmen: "Promise me you won't do what you did before, and you won't make me worry anymore, okay?"
"good!"
Carmen agreed happily, because Buck was dead and Tom was also dead. Even if he wanted to go back to the way he was before, it would be impossible.
What's more, he is no longer his past self. He can feel that there is a beast lurking inside him. It roars, it is angry, and it longs to reappear and become the master of the world.
But Carmen couldn't say these words to Bod, because he didn't know if telling Bod all this would scare her.
After hesitating again and again, he said nothing. Thousands of words turned into a sigh, and the shadow left in the sunset was so lonely.
Who am I and if I am a human why can I turn into a wolf.
If I were a wolf, where would my grassland be and who would be my friend?
Carmen's mind was very confused. He wanted to find the answer to the question and know who he was.
"Brother, are you back?"
As Bertie arrived at Bill's Tavern, Ellie, who was waiting outside, ran up to him before he even entered.
Carmen opened her arms and rushed forward, hugged her sister in her arms, and comforted her: "It's okay, it's okay, it's all over."
Ellie nodded as she cried, staying in her brother's arms.
After a while, feeling that her brother was particularly thin, Ellie asked with a cry: "Brother, your body?"
"It's okay, it's just a little bit of sequelae. It'll take some time to recover." Carmen patted her sister on the back. The brother and sister hugged each other for a long time before he reluctantly let go. He turned to Bod and said, "Bod, thank you.
I have been taking care of Ellie during this period, and now I have thought of something important, and I must leave first."
"you"
Bod originally had a lot to say, but he couldn't find the words to say. He said in frustration: "You can go."
Carmen didn't know the struggle in Bod's heart, nor the price Bod had to pay to save him, so she just nodded and left with her sister.
Watching his leaving figure, Bod was like a dandelion floating in the air. Who can say that she didn't feel lost.
"Should we start?"
On the fourth floor, Wang Xu stood on the balcony, watching Carmen slowly go away.
The enemy has been eliminated, survival is worry-free, and the Wu family bloodline has been initially awakened. It stands to reason that Carmen should leave the novice village.
Wang Xu used himself to save others, thinking about what he would do next if he were Carmen.
"Being able to transform into a wolf may bring Carmen not only a surprise, but also a fright. If I were Carmen and found out that I could transform into a werewolf, I would definitely wonder why I can and others can't. I would want to find the answer.
, if Carmen thinks this way, sooner or later he will discover how unique his family's history is, how glorious his ancestors were, and start a new chapter from now on, a chapter called the Wizard."
Wang Xu held the wine glass, raised his head, and drank the rum in one gulp.
He can guarantee that Carmen will investigate the Door of Truth to the end.
Don't ask him why, just because Carmen is the protagonist, his life is destined to be magnificent. If he deals with small characters like Anders all day long, it would be a shame for his luck.
"Brother, what are you doing?"
After returning home, Carmen began to rummage through the house, even digging out the belongings of her parents when they were still alive.
"Our family used to have a badge. When we were young, my father would often wipe it. Do you still remember it?" Carmen half-knelt in a large utility room and asked without raising her head.
Ellie tilted her head and thought for a while, then hesitantly said: "Is it as big as a fruit core, shiny gold, with a wolf head badge painted on it?"
"Yes, that's it."
Carmen stood up from the ground, took her sister's hand, and encouraged: "Think about where we put it."
"It has been sold for a long time. Three years ago, it rained heavily for three days and three nights, and we had nothing to eat. You asked me to find all the valuables and sell them to Mr. Kyle who runs a second-hand shop. Among them are
That golden badge." When Ellie said this, Carmen remembered it.
He slapped his head in frustration, slumped down on the sofa, and muttered: "It's over, it's over, it's complete."
"What's wrong?" Ellie was always confused and had no idea what Carmen was doing.
Carmen couldn't explain it. He couldn't tell Ellie that he could transform into the wolf on the badge.
"Carmen, my little man, you want the Carmen family to have a long history, and we are the most noble people. Take a good look at this badge. This is the emblem of our Carmen family. The wolf on it is the patron saint of our family.
, one day the Wolf God will appear again and lead our family to glory again."
A vague memory kept flashing through Carmen's mind.
In his memory, his father's face was blurred. The only thing that remained fresh in his memory was the golden badge and the wolf's head on the front of the badge.
In the past, Carmen never felt how precious this badge was, let alone the so-called patron saint.
Now he believes it, because in retrospect, his appearance after transformation is not exactly the same as the wolf god on the badge.
The Wolf God once again leads the Carmen family to glory.
Carmen still remembers these words that his father repeatedly emphasized. As a child, when he was helpless, he also imagined that one day the wolf god would suddenly come true, just like the legend about the magic lamp, and grant him three wishes.
At this moment, Carmen no longer thinks so, he can become the wolf god on the badge, and since the Carmen family uses this as their family emblem, does his ancestor also have the ability to transform into a wolf?
Carmen didn't know. He only knew that he should find his family emblem and then go back to his ancestral home.
The ancestral homeland of the Carmen family is not in West Sabel City. They moved here during Carmen's great-grandfather's generation. Their real hometown is in the south, on a small island called Modir.
Maybe after retrieving the badge, he should go to Modir and have a look, maybe he can find out the problem with his transformation.
"Ellie, you stay at home and look after the house. My brother will go out for a while and will be back soon."
Carmen didn't have time to explain anything, so she took a handful of change from the drawer and hurried out the door.
Kyle's second-hand store is famous in the slums.
He collects and sells everything here, including worn-out shoes, used furniture, rusty kitchen knives, and toothless old dogs. He is simply a rag collector.
Many poor people who can't afford new goods like to come to him to buy used goods. In the past, when Carmen got good stuff, she would come to Kyle to sell it. In terms of price, Kyle's store was the most reasonable.
"Long time no see, Carmen. I heard someone said you went in. I'm so glad to see you again." Kyle's store is not small in size. It has a shop in the front and a yard in the back. It is a rare single-family house in the slums.
"Long time no see, Kyle."
Carmen walked up, crossed her hands on the counter, and whispered: "Do you still remember that I sold a badge at your place?"
"I don't remember. Over the years, you have sold me things ranging from one thousand to eight hundred. If I could remember everything, I wouldn't have to do anything else." Kyle is a bald middle-aged man.
He wiped a lantern with a handkerchief and answered casually.
"Kyle!"
Carmen patted the counter hard several times and said in a deep voice: "That's a golden badge I sold you three years ago. It was bright gold, with a wolf head engraved on the front and the word Carmen written on the back. At that time, you were still
You complained to me that although this thing is bright, it is unfortunately not gold. Do you have any impression?"
"Oh, I think about it, that thing really screwed me up. It's not gold, it's not iron, it's not copper, it's not steel. I spent a lot of money to buy it from you, and I almost vomited blood in the end."
"That's enough Kyle, where is that thing? I want to redeem it."
Carmen interrupted Kyle. During the business discussion, he knew that none of Kyle's words were true.
When Kyle heard that Carmen wanted to redeem something, he looked him up and down for a while, shook his head and said: "I am not a pawn shop here, Carmen. I have sold your things long ago."
"Who was it sold to?" Carmen asked.
"Let me think about who to sell it to."
Kyle put down the lantern and muttered: "Billy, Kelly, Bailey, Dali, I remember there is a word "Li". He is a sailor who lives in the dock area. He especially likes to collect things with a sense of time. How can I think of it all at once?
What’s his name when he can’t get up?”
"Okay, I will find him."
Carmen slammed the door and walked out. As the saying goes, cats have catwalks and dogs have dogwalks. As long as he knew that he lived in the dock area, was a sailor, and had the word "profit" in his name, he believed that he could find this person.
As for what to do after you find it, whether to buy it with money, steal it at night, or rob it in the open, that is another question. 8)
