A wild wolf that was much larger than the other wild wolves stood proudly, its green eyes looking directly at William. Around it, there were dozens of wild wolves walking back and forth.
It looked like it was a wolf, William guessed in his mind.
He held his sword and walked slowly towards the wooden fence step by step.
Jacques Porter and Drake John had a look of shame on their faces, and they quickly stood up and followed William step by step.
There were also noises and fires in the village. It seemed that the villagers were awakened and rushed over in groups.
The alpha wolf took a humane look at the scene in the village, paused briefly, and roared out from its mouth again, "Aww..."
Dozens of wild wolves gathered around the first wolf and ran into the forest without hesitation. Soon they disappeared into the darkness, and even the sound was swallowed up.
William breathed a sigh of relief. Although he had the guidance of the magic mirror, killing more than a dozen wild wolves in a row was very tiring for him.
As soon as he relaxed, his whole body was soaked with sweat.
At this time, the villagers also rushed over with torches made of firewood. When they saw the corpses of more than a dozen wild wolves on the ground, their faces turned pale.
"Ghost wolves in the dark forest? Don't they live deep in the forest? How could they come to the village?" A hunter in the small village of Nisei exclaimed.
William Xunxun walked over, and the person who spoke was a lean and healthy man.
"Ghost wolf?"
"Yes, Lord Baron, ghost wolves generally live deep in the forest, near swamps. They prefer damp and dark environments. Because the fur on their bodies naturally forms weird patterns, they are also called ghost wolves!"
The hunter explained to William.
"Hmm." That's not the key to tonight's question.
William thought for a while and asked the villagers, "Have wild beasts attacked the village before?"
"No!" The villagers shook their heads without thinking.
"Lord Baron, because of the lizard people every winter, there are not many dangerous beasts on the edge of the forest. Over the years in the small village of Nisei, the most they have encountered is wild boars breaking into the fields and destroying the rye. Some people in the village
Together we can drive away the wild boar!"
Adams took the initiative to answer William's question and said that leaving a good impression in the minds of superiors has always been what he wanted to do tirelessly.
He didn't want a vulgar hunter to dominate the limelight.
"Well!" William frowned and looked back at the dark forest. "Then why did these ghost wolves come to the edge of the forest and attack them?"
The people William mentioned were Jacques Porter and Drake John.
No one answered William, only the whistling of the wind.
After a while, a villager replied unconfidently, "Lord Baron, could it be that you were attracted by the fire?"
Another one that attracted the attention of the Baron! Adams curled his lips in his mind and was about to retort, but was overtaken by the strong hunter, "No, generally speaking, wild beasts are more afraid of things like flames! And!
, Ghost wolves usually live deep in the forest..."
Deep in the forest, that is a place where even hunters dare not go hunting!
You may encounter lizardmen anytime and anywhere, and become a lizardman's snack!
There is no useful answer! William's brows continued to frown, and he had no clue at all.
He looked at the dark forest, his eyes wandered, and finally fell on the simple wooden fence, and said expressionlessly, "The wooden fence is still too short!"
"If it were a high wall, these ghost wolves wouldn't be able to jump in!"
The villagers looked at each other, a wall or a high wall, how could it be that easy?
Besides, does it make sense?
Winter is coming.
"We need to speed up!" William said to himself again.
His majestic gaze swept across the entire audience and he said in a deep voice.
"Starting from tomorrow, if you find what I want within three days, the reward will be doubled. If you find what I want within seven days after three days, the reward will be increased by half. If you find what I want after seven days, the reward will be reduced by half!"
In other words, if you find the sticky soil within three days, you can get two silver franc coins, but if you find it within seven days, you can only get one silver franc coin and fifty copper coins.
If you find that cyan or milky white stone within three days, you can get two Aiju silver coins. If you find it within seven days, you can only get one Aiju silver coin, one franc silver coin, and fifty Puer copper coins.
.
But if it exceeds seven days, then one franc silver coin will become half a franc silver coin, and one Aiju silver coin will become half Aiju silver coin.
As soon as William finished speaking, the villagers became nervous. They were all very motivated in the middle of the night. What's more, they started walking out of the village. They had to race against time!
However, the dark forest buried their courage, and the feet they just stepped out retracted faster.
They comforted themselves that they could go earlier tomorrow! Then the reward from Lord Baron would definitely be theirs!
William didn't care about them. After he finished speaking, he looked at the wolf carcasses all over the ground, ordered the wolf carcasses to be disposed of, and then turned back to the earthen house.
In my mind, the shrill voice of the Magic Mirror Mirror Spirit sounded.
"Absorbing the souls of thirteen ghost wolves, the current energy can be supplied for 18 days!"
William's eyes flickered, then calmed down, lay on the bed, and continued to sleep with his clothes on!

…
In the city of Patras, old John and Old Gretel walked out of a shop with distressed expressions on their faces.
Behind them was a businessman with a bright smile. He was wearing a gorgeous robe, with a sincere smile on his face. He had a big belly, but his face was so thin that it was close to the bones.
He swore behind Old John and Old Gretel and promised, "Please don't worry! Everyone in the entire city of Patras knows my reputation as Hughes. I will definitely deliver what you want on time and in the right amount!"
"
"Yeah!" Old John said with a heavy nasal sound without looking back.
Just now, he had just paid a deposit of 50 gold pis coins, and when Hughes's small caravan transported the goods to the small village of Nisei, he had to pay another 80 gold pis coins.
A total of one hundred and thirty gold coins!
This figure is even more than what Old John had estimated! Far beyond it!
Thirty gold pith coins are equivalent to three hundred silver franc coins, which is equivalent to thirty thousand copper coins.
How can such an amount of money make Old John happy?
However, Old John cannot go to those big chambers of commerce or caravans!
Because these large chambers of commerce or caravans have a deeper relationship with the owner of Weir Castle.
Old John cannot reveal his purpose to the owner of Will Castle.
Although the owner of Will Castle doesn’t necessarily care about these little things!
But who knows what nobles are like!
It's always good to be careful! Old John comforted himself in this way.
A long way away from the shop where Hughes was, Old John wanted to go back. He missed his son Drake. Looking around, he suddenly found that Old Grete's second son Andrew was not here.
"Where is your son?" Old John said angrily, "We are going back!"
"Sorry, Master John." Old Gretel also looked around and replied, "He just told me that he was going to visit a friend. I believe he will be back soon!"
"Well!" Although Old John is dissatisfied, this is the city of Patras, not the small village of Nisei, and he does not have William, the cornerstone of his power, beside him, and Old Gretel is a local snake, and Old John still has someone to rely on.
place, so I could only say hum, impatiently waiting for Andrew to come back!
Old Grete also frowned slightly, maybe she shouldn't have let him leave her sight instead of believing his lie that he would come back soon!
Where will he go? Old Grete fell into deep thought.
At this time, Andrew Grete stood solemnly in the center of Patras City, in the New Weir Castle, waiting for the summons of Viscount Green!
