◎Killing him will save everyone. ◎
"Why didn't I think of that!" Christina suddenly realized.
Everyone said that Miss Rosalie was frightened. Christina, who played the role of a maid, listened for a long time and subconsciously agreed with this idea, so she did not pay attention to the girl's strange behavior.
Nightmares, mental weakness, unstable temper, especially intermittent amnesia during accidents... These seemingly sequelae of a frightened horse coincide with the symptoms after a wolf bite!
"here."
Dill pointed at a place, and Christina leaned over. She gasped slightly.
The scar was hidden too cunningly. A section of white nape was exposed behind the girl's thick long hair, and a twisted purple-red centipede was hiding in the gap between the hair. Dill directly lifted Rosalie's entire long hair, and a hideous red scar suddenly appeared, undulating on the smooth skin, like a deformed and twisted blood vessel, which was constantly swelling strangely, and seemed to spread to the whole body at any time.
"It's not a bite mark, it's a claw mark." Christina breathed a sigh of relief: "She was attacked by a wolf."
Werewolves are pure beasts, they will bite their prey directly with their mouths; but wolves are different, they attack humans more out of revenge and catharsis, so even the attack method is biased towards humans, subconsciously using their claws as as weapons.
More importantly, only werewolves with powerful magical powers can directly transform humans; only the wounds bitten by werewolves during the full moon transformation can be infectious enough. In Rosalie's case, as long as she leaves before the full moon night, If you use silver powder for treatment in time, you can recover as before.
"It's a risk, it's a risk..." Christina really likes Lester and her daughter. The Green Emerald City is the place she has ever stayed in that treats servants best and most generously.
"It's almost the full moon, and the wound has worsened seriously, but it's okay." Dill also had a near-miss.
Rosalie was a well-behaved and shy aristocratic lady. She had no memory of being attacked, so she probably didn't want her family to worry, so she endured the discomfort caused by the transformation. If the wound hadn't worsened to the point where she couldn't bear it and went crazy, it would have been a real life. At the full moon, Rosalie will be completely transformed into a wolf.
"We must hurry." Two months later the witch began to act.
Dill's cupboard had all the medicinal materials she needed. Even so, her fingers still trembled slightly as she searched for items, and the twisted scar kept flashing through her mind.
She has witnessed with her own eyes the pain of human-wolf transformation. Their eyes will shine so brightly in the darkness, and the pupils will be forced to shrink into a dark shrinking line, and the light of humanity will gradually sink into the bottomless abyss. The crazy screams penetrate the eardrums, and then the skin will begin to wrinkle, and the blood vessels and veins underneath are like countless maggots struggling and squirming, like being trapped in a cocoon of flesh and blood, and finally sharp hairs are piercing out from the inside. After that moment, they are no longer human at all….
Rosalie, that cute little girl waiting to be married, almost turned into an irrational beast.
Amber's words seemed to echo in her ears: "This is a werewolf, an existence that spreads disaster, pain, and evil. It is the lifelong enemy of our witches."
"Dill!" Christina's voice called her back to her senses.
There is naturally no shortage of silver powder here, and the Moon Witch carries silverware with her. Dill and Christina also prepare aconite and full moon condensation to alleviate the pain caused by the wound.
They first fed Rosalie a few drops of aconitum juice, and then used full moon gel to clean the wound. After applying a layer of soft silver dew cold compress, the wound seemed no longer red, swollen and swollen, and Rosalie's face became much more stable. Sleeping more deeply.
"Maybe it's because the night of the full moon is approaching, and the wound has deteriorated seriously." Christina checked the wound calmly: "Silver powder alone may not be enough, and a purification spell must be used, dill?"
She didn't get a response from the person next to her, so Christina raised her head slightly.
Dill's face was pale, but her eyes were fixed on Rosalie's wound, as if she wanted to force herself to look at it. The fingers on her side seemed stiff and twitching slightly, as if she was forcing herself to move, but there was no way. .
She quietly took the girl's hand, and warmth flowed into her palm.
"It's okay, let's go together."
Dill tilted her head and looked into the girl's warm brown eyes. Her body seemed to have regained some warmth, and her chaotic thoughts gradually settled down.
Yes, she is the Moon Witch, and that will never change.
As the head of the little witch, Christina has long regarded Dill as a sister-like existence. She stretched out her hand to signal Dill, and if she made a step, Dill would follow suit.
With the blessing of two months of witches, the silver powder scattered along the wound began to shine brightly, and the hideous scar quickly disappeared in the dazzling white light. The girl's fair neck seemed to be tied with a silver thread that shimmered like broken diamonds. Chain, the previous filth and ugliness seemed to be just an illusion.
[The inspiration level reaches the standard, the appraisal is performed, the appraisal is successful, and the blessing [Silver Light Magic] is obtained. ]
The light of the full moon quickly dissipated, and Christina gently blew away the remaining silver powder. The scattered light was replaced by dots of fireflies, which intimately surrounded the two moon witches, as if saying goodbye and thanking them.
"So beautiful." Dill couldn't help but murmur.
Christina smiled slightly: "Of course, the full moon does not make monsters stronger, but gives them nowhere to hide. We are the ones truly protected by the moon." She pushed aside Rosalie's long hair, only to see the original wound. All that was left was an extremely ordinary pale crimson old scar.
Dill and she looked at each other and smiled. Although they hadn't really faced the enemy yet, this was indeed the first battle they had won.
They quickly cleaned up the scene. Christina skillfully put Rosalie into a new nightgown and combed her long hair with a comb. The girl's face was peaceful and calm, without any of the ferocious look before, and even a little more talkative. Incredibly radiant.
"The moisture of the full moon's magic will make her the most beautiful bride." Christina devoutly blessed her little master.
"Maybe not." Dill slammed the cupboard shut with such force that Christina was startled.
"A wolf attacked her on the day of her accident."
Christina came over knowingly and murmured: "The young master of the Rein family saved her that day."
Dill nodded and continued her thoughts: "The location of the wound is extremely hidden. Only people who are close to it can do it. That young master Geese is most likely a wolf."
She thought of the Rein family she had met at the dinner that day, and also recalled the rumor that the Silver Wolf King was disguised as a noble from Junlihe.
Junli River is the territory of Silver Wolf. Silver Wolf has a history of being worshiped by humans as gods since ancient times. Is it possible that the Rein family turned to the werewolves in order to seek power? Want to use the power of werewolves to control the eldest daughter of the Leicester family, and then seize the entire Green Valley River?
Scared by Rosalie, Dill's thinking began to diverge, and she even fast-forwarded to the point where werewolves would conquer the world tomorrow.
"The young master of the Rein family was not the only one present that day."
Dill's idea is reasonable, but the matter is very important. Christina thought carefully: "There is also the Clark family on Red Oak Island. Their two young masters and young ladies are here."
Dill remembered the crest of the Clark family, the green rose on a white background, and the Lord Sir Leicester who had a great chat with Lord Leicester that night.
"The Clark family is a subordinate of the Leicester family. The two families have always had a marriage relationship. The Leicester family's old fortress was on Red Oak Island, which was later given to the Clark family. In fact, Mrs. Lester originally wanted to transfer the city to the Clark family. Sally married the eldest son of the Clark family, Master Brian, and that day was the meeting of the two children. It can be said that the two of them had their first date."
Christina continued:
"However, Sir Leicester seems to be having trouble with the Clark family over the issue of the inheritance rights of their heirs, so it has not been settled for a long time. The Clark family also attended the welcome banquet, and even came to give gifts and apologize."
Thanks to Ms. Fran's education, Christina is more familiar with the inheritance laws of the countries in the Atrium Plain than Dill.
The United Kingdom of Fontai to which the Green Valley River belongs is organized in order of male and female, and then in order of kinship. Master Lester's brother died in the war early, and he does not have any sons or nephews, so his daughter Rosalie will become the first heir and be regarded as the first heir. The Duchess of Green Emerald City, her son will also have the first inheritance rights of Green Emerald City.
Lord Leicester obviously didn't want to give away a century-old ancestral property to the Clark family in vain. What he wanted was for his eldest son to have the right to bear the surname. Perhaps he thought that the matter could be easily resolved based on the friendship between the two families, but the Clark family couldn't help but expose what they had been doing all along. Ambition made Lord Leicester suspicious.
"That day, Miss Rosalie's horse was suddenly frightened and ran into the forest to look for her. In addition to a few personal maids, there was also Master Clark."
Seeing Dill buried in thought, Christina consoled her: "At least we have probably locked down the suspicious werewolf. The key point is the werewolf. We can search along two lines. We can definitely find the werewolf hiding in the castle before the full moon. Find it out."
No, you already knew there was a named werewolf, didn't you? traitor.
The girl buried her face in her hands and rubbed her temples with her fingers, as if trying to wake herself up, but the white knuckles revealed the fierce struggle in her mind.
He is different.
What's different about him? He is a werewolf, the werewolf we want to kill.
If she could, Dill really wanted to dig her fingers into her temples, dig out the two quarreling little people in her head and slap them flat. Why can't people just have one simple thought?
"Dill, don't be afraid." Christina misunderstood her distress.
She held the girl's pale face with both hands, her eyes were shining and full of firm belief: "This is our first hunting. Let's fight side by side to kill that abominable werewolf."
Yes, that's him. He is the only werewolf in the castle.
Dill met Christina's eyes.
Killing him will save everyone.
The image of the young man flashed in his mind. Sometimes his eyes were as clear as peridot, and sometimes they were abyss overflowing with molten gold. His figure was also like a knight in silver armor, sometimes a bright red curse. Wen left him covered in blood.
kill him! !
"Cristina, I..."
As soon as Dill heard her weak voice, she knew that the villain had won.
"I will work hard with you to find the werewolf."
Yes, the traitor of the Moon Witch and the wolf knight who believes in the church are a perfect match.
Seeing the relief on her face, Christina thought she had calmed down and was about to continue the discussion when she heard a strange noise coming from outside. The Maiden Tower, which should have been silent, was extremely noisy, with frames clanking like armor...
The sound suddenly stopped, and someone knocked on the oak door
Christina was alert: "Who is outside?"
Before she could ask a question, the wooden door was suddenly slammed open, and a group of knights in black iron armor filed in. The sound of the armor clashing was like bursts of thunder, shocking people's hearts without saying anything. As the leading knight, he slowly walked out. He was tall and handsome, and his flawless white silver armor made him always so unique, as if he was the silver moon highlighted by the stars.
"This is a summons from the Green Emerald City Temple. There was a strange change in the castle this morning. The Holy Master found traces of a curse, the source of which came from the Maiden Tower. He reasonably suspected that Miss Rosalie's strange behavior in the past few days was caused by The witch curses, there is a witch causing trouble in the castle, from now on we will seal the Maiden Tower, and all the female relatives in the tower will be sent to the temple for trial until the witch is found."
Compared to Christina's uncontrollable panic and trembling, Dill looked at her without blinking and even took a step forward.
The helpless girl faced off against the heavily armed knights occupying half of the room.
"This is extremely ridiculous. I am a guest invited by Mrs. Leicester. You have no right to touch me."
The blond knight's face was expressionless, and his green eyes were as cold as a deep pool. At this moment, he was the most loyal blade of the church.
"It's a matter of witchcraft. The Holy Church's jurisdiction is supreme. If you don't cooperate, we are allowed to use force."
Mucha remained unmoved, as if looking at a stranger.
