Chapter 65 - The Legend of the Lycanthrope

The NPC actually ran very fast Even with Gu Fei’s full-Agility physique, he had to exert quite the effort to chase after the person All he could do was ensure that his target would not leave his line of sight Meanwhile, the heavily encu been abandoned far behind in this high-speed foot chase

The places the NPC could flee were actually lie a few ti in to a house

Gu Fei firly strode forward and banged his fist on the house’s door Gu Fei had long steeled his resolve to confront the Werewolves despite knowing that there was a possibility of hi how the Werewolves would react toward his provocative actions Would they transforth to beat him up? Gu Fei could only accept the outcouild was probably needed to accomplish this chain quest

The door finally opened after a bout of knocking, yet the person that appeared before Gu Fei was not the one who in front of Gu Fei was at least a foot taller than hier whenever it transformed Given hoell built thisas an elephant when he transfor as the person Gu Fei was chasing had actually sought refuge in this man’s house, could he perhaps be the Werewolves’ leader?

“I want to know everything about the gold mine,” Gu Fei immediately broached the subject

The man remained mum but did not chase Gu Fei away

“I already know you’re all Werewolves,” Gu Fei threw caution to the wind and laid his cards on the table

Surprisingly, thehim; instead, he just showed unease at Gu Fei’s revelation

“Don’t worry I won’t tell anyone about it,” Gu Fei clarified his stand on the matter to the Werewolf He recalled that quests like this would need additional ite to the AI’s feelings was futile even though this was a full-ia Murphy’s ashes and presented it to the rave is e him out and creuess

Gu Fei could see sorrow reflected in the e in emotion was etched clearly on his face for Gu Fei to see He took the Werewolf’s eht of his follow-up question

The NPC had initially shown anxiety and uncertainty upon hearing that their identity as Werewolves was exposed

He then became morose when Gu Fei mentioned Murphy’s death

Murphy would rather die than reveal his identity as a lycanthrope, and the rest of the villagers were still in the dark about this

Gu Fei finally understood this whole business This group of Werewolves was afraid that the villagers would uncover their identity Murphy had chosen to return into his hu a themselves, which would create trouble for his fellow Werewolves After all, Murphy was a villager as well Murphy being a Wereould surely ers suspicious of the people around them If the Werewolves were to live under such scrutiny, they would sooner or later be exposed to the villagers

Gu Fei felt asha into conclusion that these Werewolves had old-ore-distribution dispute

But then, as the Werewolf that killed Murphy?

More i at all? Could he be a pureblood lycanthrope that had yet to ers to know your real identity, right?” Gu Fei asked once more

The stout man continued to stare at Gu Fei

“Why?” Gu Fei displayed Xiaoyu’s stubbornness and continued to question the ot an answer

“We don’t want to kill or be killed,” the stout hed in relief and asked, “What do you ers were to find out we are Werewolves, they would definitely try to eli a the a full moon to honor our bestial bloodline”

“So why do you all wish to live with humans?” Gu Fei asked

“We are the ones who lived here first In the past, we learned hu in the forest Eventually, we decided to leave the forest and build this village It was only later that the humans trickled in and decided to live with us And after so e turned into what it is today,” the man explained further

“What about the Werewolf that killed Murphy, then?” Gu Fei asked

“He’s not one of us!” the ritted his teeth “I don’t knohere he cath I think he’s soe because he knows us very well But we can’t seem to catch his scent”

“Why did he kill Murphy?” Gu Fei asked

That stout uys ran so fast!” Xiaoyu’s voice could be heard fro

Gu Fei suddenly thought of soold ore that he had dug out from the forest near Murphy’s backyard

“I found a ain presented an iteold mine?” Gu Fei pressed on

That stout man said, “One full moon, ent deep into the forest to hunt animals An unknown Werewolf suddenly appeared and deed hiht but was defeated Froold ore every night”

“You have the strength in nu up on him!” Gu Fei blurted out
