Toruda explained: "The businessman just now has been a long-term partner. Hearing that we were killed here, he raised the purchase price... Oh, I am so grateful to him..."
Ellie said: "That's it..."
Randy said: "Trader...no wonder he looks so handsome..."
"Yeah...and considering Crossbell's current situation, such a small loss is nothing at all..." Toruda said.
"Alas..." Lloyd said.
"Excuse me, what is this..." Ellie said.
"Oh, I said something unnecessary... I'm sorry, I forgot about it..." Toruda said.
"Hey...Village Chief, the more you say this, the more we will care..." Randy said.
"That's right, it's too pretentious..." Tio said.
"Haha... I'm sorry, maybe it's just nonsense from an old man like me... Are you willing to listen..." Toruda said.
"Yes... please be sure to tell us... no matter what it is, maybe we can find something useful." Lloyd said.
"Well...then I'll tell you..." Toruda said: "Have any of you heard of the word divine wolf..."
Lloyd said: "God Wolf...?"
Ellie said: "The Wolf of God...?"
Tio: "This word has never been seen in the database..."
Toruda said: "Well... Sure enough... It seems that no one has mentioned this legend in the city... It makes people sigh..."
"Then who is this divine wolf..." Lloyd said.
Toruda said: "They are beasts that lived in the land of Crossbell in ancient times... Legend has it that they look like wolves...with snow-white fur all over their bodies..."
"So...it has the same characteristics as this monster...?" Tio said.
"Although there is no evidence... it is not surprising even if this is the case..." Toruda said.
"According to ancient legends... the divine wolf is not an ordinary magical beast... but a holy beast sent by the female emperor..."
"In ancient times, in the land of Crossbell, which was stained with blood... they protected the ignorant humans... and sometimes helped those helpless people on a whim... That's how they were.
exist..."
"That's it, it sounds amazing..." Ellie said.
"Speaking of which, I seem to have read a fairy tale about the white wolf... I remember that book was in the library..." Lloyd said.
"Well... that fairy tale is probably based on this legend... but in the past few decades... Crossbell has changed..." Toruda said.
"This place has developed into a trading city...and then the memories of the past were gradually forgotten...and then I don't know when...the divine wolves disappeared...
..."
Toruda said.
Randy: "Well... In short, it means they have given up hope on humans...?"
"Hmm... I think so, but after all, he was the divine wolf who lived in the cracks of time when he was young..." Toruda said.
"If they come back...is it to sound a warning to mankind..."
"Why do you say that..." Lloyd said.
"How should I put it... I always feel that the current development of Crossbell City is too hasty... Occasionally I take the bus to the city and I will be amazed at how fast the changes are..." Thomas
Ruda said.
"No matter who you are... they are all being chased by the present and have no intention of looking back at the past... What I see is this kind of society..."
Ellie said: "We have nothing to say..."
"Oh, don't get me wrong...I'm not preaching..." Toruda said.
"Just thinking about it... I feel like the murder of the village was like a warning from them... I think it can be explained this way..."
"Oh, you seem to take what I said seriously...it's just the old man's nonsense...you don't have to think too much..."
Lloyd said: "There is no such thing... These are of great reference value... I feel like we can consider this Warcraft rebellion from another teacher..."
Toruda said: "...Ah, that's good...come and investigate. Is there anything else I can help with...?"
Lloyd said: "By the way...can we also ask other villagers..."
"Well...if it's you, then it's not a big problem...it's already noon...everyone who went out to do farm work should be back..." Toruda said
.
Afterwards, several people left the village chief's home.
Randy said: 'God Wolf... suddenly brought up a very interesting topic...'
"Yes..." Lloyd said: "Although it is still unclear whether the divine wolf really exists...but it is best to consider it as a suspect first..."
"It really seems like this... A few people left footprints... Then the wolf-shaped monster really came... and then it went to an unknown place... and disappeared without a trace.
trace..."
Ellie said.
Tio said: "It's very strange... There are several people in the village who have their footprints... Then we should be able to search along those footprints..."
Lloyd said: 'Indeed, this should work... In other words, they have avoided the tracking and investigation of the police...'
Randy said: "Once they enter the dangerous animal path... humans will be helpless... we don't need to think about it anymore...?"
"That's right... Let's start asking for information quickly... It happens to be noon... Let's take care of lunch by the way..." Lloyd said.
Ellie: "Haha... that's right... I'm hungry after running for a long time..."
Tio said: 'Me too...'
"Then let's go to the pub while asking for information..." Randy said.
Then I got the information.
Villager A said: "The village chief seems to have been talking about the divine wolf and so on... Although he is my father... his thinking is too old-fashioned, which is very troublesome..."
"I really hope he can do something for the development of the village..."
Villager B: "Well...I don't know at all when I'm asleep..."
Villager C: "Ask someone else... The wolf-shaped monster has also caused some damage to the world in my home..."
Villager D: "No one has seen them. They must be very smart monsters..."
Afterwards, we came to the tavern.
There was a man sitting at the front desk of the tavern.... "Yeah. It's delicious. Gao Fan's omelette rice is truly the best in the world..."
The owner of the tavern said: "Haha, if you can say that, it means my work was not in vain..."
Lloyd said: "Sorry...excuse me..."
"Oh, what's wrong..." the boss said.
"We are the police of Crossbell City... Can I ask you about the situation of the wolf-type monster that attacked before..."
At this time, the customer sitting at the front desk eating omelette rice said: "It happened three weeks ago... Well, if you put it that way..."
“Because every household has to get up early in the morning to work... so everyone happened to be sleeping on the night of the incident...
It seems like the World of Warcraft has chosen the right time to appear again... In short, it can only be said that it is bad luck..."
The boss said: "What I want to say is similar to what he said...Everyone who came to stay here that day said they didn't see anything..."
Ellie: "That's it..."
Randy said, "It seems there is no conclusive evidence..."
Lloyd said: "Don't be discouraged... You have to persevere in the lobby information... Only then will you finally get the results..."
Tio: "Anyway... let's take a rest first...? I'm almost hungry..."
"Have you guys not had lunch yet? Just in time, I will treat you to our signature dish, omelette rice..."
The boss says.
"Ah...how can this be a treat for you?" Lloyd said.
"Okay... let's just make friends... in exchange, remember to eat here again the next time you come to the village..." the boss said.
Randy: "Haha...how generous..."
Ellie: "Lloyd...that's the point...let's not refuse anymore..."
Tio: "I agree."
"Hmm... Okay then... I'll leave it to you..."
The four of them sat down and soon the omelette rice came... enjoying the simple taste unique to the countryside...
Lloyd and his party were fully recovered from the exhaustion of running around...
After eating, I met the businessman.
Ellie said: "Remember you are a trader in Crossbell..."
"Haha... You heard it from the village chief..."
said the businessman.
"I'm Harold. I'm doing a small business in Crosbyl City... Is it possible that you are also here to purchase..."
"No...it's not us..." Lloyd and his group introduced themselves and explained the reason for coming to Almorica Village...
"Police...but the Secret Service Support Division, I seem to have heard of it somewhere...Oh, by the way, Time Magazine..."
Harold said.
"Ha...you have indeed read Time Magazine..."
Lloyd said.
Ellie said: "I feel a little embarrassed..."
"Haha... don't be so embarrassed. It has just been established, but you are working very hard, aren't you...?" Harold said.
"That report did use some ironic techniques in its presentation...but I think it still has a positive attitude towards your efforts..."
"Really..." Lloyd said.
"From a well-intentioned character, it's not that it can't be explained this way..." Tio said.
Randy: "Haha... But we all know the reporter... so we can't believe it..."
"Yes...are you talking about the wolf-shaped monster you are looking for...I also heard about it at the Medical University...I'm a little worried..."
Harold said.
Lloyd said: "Does Mr. Harold also have business dealings with the Medical University..."
"Well... I usually wholesale some necessary supplies to the hospital... Rumor has it that someone is injured there..." Harold said.
"There are also people injured in Mining Town..."
Lloyd said: "Well... the police seem to be searching now..."
"I see... I have to go to Mining Town for some business these days..."
Harold said.
Ellie said: "I heard that you bought the specialties here at very kind prices..."
"Haha... It's what the village chief said... Actually, it's nothing... The specialties of this village, including the main product, honey, have become more and more popular recently..."
Harold said with a smile.
"I also want to take this opportunity...to leave a good impression on the villagers..."
Randy said: "Haha, that's it..."
Tio said: "Goodwill comes first...that's it..."
Ellie: "Haha... It seems like you made a good deal..."
"No, I'm far from skilled enough. I'm just a novice..." Harold said.
"But I'm really sorry.... It would be great if I could have more useful information...."
Lloyd said: "No...that's not the case...please don't worry...I'm really sorry for bothering you in such a busy schedule..."
"No, no...please try to find out more information..." Harold said.
After that....continue to ask the villagers....
Villager E:: "Wolf-shaped monster... That happened about three weeks ago... I'm really sorry, I don't have any impression..."
Villager F: "I heard from the village chief that the prisoner is called a divine wolf...it's really hateful."
Villager G: "Well...did Mr. Wolf really do such a bad thing...I don't really remember..."
At this time, I met a young man who was fishing...
"The weather is really nice...Hello everyone, are you here to fish too..." he asked.
Lloyd said: "Ah... no, we are the police from Crossbell... We are here to inquire about the Warcraft rebellion about three weeks ago..."
"You don't seem to be a villager in Almorica... Do you have any clue..."
"Ah, that thing... I was chasing the python head... I didn't come to the village... I just heard about it afterwards..." the young man said. (To be continued)
