"It wasn't premeditated, and it wasn't because we were after something else. It's just that you happened to be on the only road we must take to attack that town, so we thought we'd take care of you along the way. Who knew..."
Ryan stared with dead fish eyes and said, "Who knew we'd run into a tough nut to crack?"
The werewolf sobbed, his body twitching, and he was almost on the verge of crying.
If they had known earlier that this seemingly harmless young man was a perverted curse spreader, they wouldn't have been stupid enough to mess with him!
And it was under the blood moon.
This was a major stain on their wolf lives!
Moreover... Moreover, they were...
Impure! Their bodies were impure now!
O (╥﹏╥) o
Wuwu.
"Stop crying!" Ryan calmly pointed at the werewolf's head and said,
"I'll ask you another question. Why are you attacking that town? What's the situation here? As long as you tell me properly, I won't make things difficult for you! After all, I'm not a devil."
The werewolf swallowed and said with an expression of (.;ﾟ;: 益:;ﾟ;.):
"That town is called the Silent Town. There are a group of survivors from the Holy World inside. About... about three hundred years ago, the army of the Holy World opened a passage to this world and then descended into this world."
Hearing this, Ryan hesitated and said, "Oh? What were they doing here?"
The werewolf stared and said, "It seems... it seems that they were looking for the lost heritage of their world."
"According to what I know, their world seemed to have suffered a catastrophe three thousand years ago, which plunged their civilization into decline. Five of the thirteen sacred relics they regarded as sacred fell into this world..."
"So they launched an expedition to this world three hundred years ago."
Ryan was startled.
Then he fell into deep thought.
"Three thousand years ago..."
Again, it was three thousand years ago.
If we add the technological civilization discovered by the Little Family and the Demon Association, plus this so-called Holy World Expeditionary Force, there were already three civilizations that had been impacted three thousand years ago.
What exactly happened back then?
The Little Family had their heads cut off.
The technological civilization was completely shattered.
The Holy world fell into disarray.
And all of this indicated that at that node three thousand years ago, something unimaginable must have happened in all the worlds.
"Since you said it was an expeditionary force that arrived three hundred years ago, what was the result?" Ryan narrowed his eyes.
The werewolf stared and said, "They died."
"..."
The werewolf said blankly, "I'm not really sure about the specific situation. I only know that shortly after they opened the portal, they encountered a primordial creature in this world, and then... they were scattered."
"The current town is one of the remnants left by the scattered coalition forces back then. They have a sacred relic in their hands."
Ryan's heart skipped a beat.
"Then what about you? You know so many things, so you should have some connection with them, right?"
The werewolf hemmed and hawed for a while and then said:
"We... our ancestors were also members of the coalition forces before they were transformed."
He seemed to think of something, suddenly raised his head, flames of anger burning in his eyes, baring his sharp fangs, and said angrily:
"They drove us out! And the reason was just that we were cursed by werewolves. They mercilessly expelled our ancestors, leaving us to fend for ourselves in this Dark World!"
"So they deserve to die! We will definitely tear them to pieces, and then..."
Slap—
Ryan closed his eyes and threw a punch.
The werewolf immediately cowered like a husky, hugging his head with a bump on it, o (╥﹏╥) o saying:
"Sorry."
After hearing this guy's account, he roughly understood the situation here.
In short, due to curses and different ideas, the scattered coalition forces were divided again. And the remnants in the Cursed Territory were the descendants of some of the coalition forces who wandered around back then.
Ryan stood up, tapped his temple, and narrowed his eyes, saying:
"One last question. Do you know about the Night Healer?"
As soon as these words came out.
The werewolf immediately trembled all over and said in astonishment, "Night Healer... Why... Why are you asking about them?"
Ryan smiled slightly and moved closer, saying, "It seems you know something. But you don't need to know the reason. You just need to answer my question obediently."
The werewolf trembled and said:
"Night... Night Healer, I know. They're a group of lunatics, and they're very interested in the curses in our bodies. When we first came here, we did meet a doctor wearing a bird-beak mask..."
"He was very refined and said that they were a group of doctors dedicated to healing and redeeming this land, and he was very willing to help us get rid of the curses and diseases in our bodies..."
He swallowed and said in horror:
"We... we believed his lies. At first, everything was fine. That doctor did help us treat many troublesome diseases and old wounds, and he really helped several of our elders break free from the werewolf curse... But..."
He trembled all over as if he had thought of something extremely terrifying.
"But after helping those elders cure the curse... they still insisted that we were still sick... and very seriously ill... and needed more in-depth treatment..."
"They cut us open!! They cut us open!" He waved his hands and feet in horror.
"They cut our bodies open bit by bit, used a lot of strange potions on us, and then sewed us up. Only then did they claim that we were cured..."
"We ran away overnight!"
Ryan was extremely astonished.
This...
This...
That's right! It seemed that he had really found the organization!
"Where are they?" Ryan asked seriously.
The werewolf said blankly, "I'm not really sure where they are specifically. They've always been very secretive about their whereabouts. However, it seems that there's one of their strongholds nearby. The people in that town want to use the existence of the Night Healer to protect themselves because they know this..."
Ryan hesitated and said, "Since you're so afraid of that group of doctors, why are you so stubbornly causing trouble for that town?"
As soon as these words came out, the werewolf immediately became angry, grinding his teeth and saying:
"Being afraid is one thing, but hatred is another. We will definitely tear those people to pieces. We will never back down until we achieve this goal."
Ryan smiled slightly, stood up, and turned his head to look at the town shrouded in the night.
"Understood."
