Just when Erica and the others were planning to give the rebellious Volmutore a bath, a carriage was speeding along a street leading to their residence in the city. The carriage had no identification mark, but there was a sign in front of it.

Count Cerro's personal soldiers rode on horseback to clear the way, so pedestrians on the road decisively avoided the path of the carriage.

Although this road is not a downtown area, there are still many noisy people gathered due to the night market. However, due to the special situation, the owner of the carriage, Kirk Hoffman, recruited a group of cavalry to clear the way. After all, this is

But Adrian had urgent instructions, so the clerk Kirk did not dare to delay, and he also asked the Nite Owl agent Brad Vox, whom he worked with last time, to accompany him. Of course, he was not allowed to leave on this trip.

The purpose was to deliver the two special guests in the car to Erica's residence, and whether it was him, Brad, or the count's soldiers outside, they were all prepared to protect the safety of the guests in the car.

The two special guests in the car were not nobles, and the gray-haired old man had been coughing continuously after getting in the car. He looked like he might die at any time, which made Kirk very worried. Another

A middle-aged woman was serving the old man in obscurity, and from time to time she would give the old man a bag with a strong smell of mixed herbal medicine to suppress his physical pain. However, compared to the eagerness on the old man's face,

, this middle-aged woman really disliked the appearance of Kirk and the others, because it was their sudden visit that made the old man get out of the hospital bed and hurriedly got into their carriage.

"Kol, the wolf god...Wolmuttorre is really...in the city?" The old man stopped coughing again and continued to question Kolk.

"Yes, Grandpa Ham, at least that's what Earl Cerro ordered us to do, otherwise he wouldn't have asked you to come out so late..." Although Kirk has answered this question several times, but this

This time he still took the trouble to answer for him. After all, this was his job. And he also habitually tried to understand from the other person's perspective why he was so disbelieving, because even at this moment, he was half-convinced about this matter, but

He believed Adrian's orders more than the rumors. Another point was that Kirk Hoffman's mother was also from Valley Village. Although he was not familiar with the Campbell family, in private

When he was there, he would still have respect for the shaman of the Wolf God.

"Old sir, if you still don't believe it, then we can ask people on the street." Brad pointed to the crowd of pedestrians chatting outside the window and said, "The wolf god seems to be making trouble on the street.

There was quite a commotion, and I guess many people on this street must have seen the huge forest wolf at the city gate."

"I'm... I'm sorry, young man." The old shaman suppressed his throat itching again and tried hard to say: "It's not that I... don't believe... you, it's really... cough cough cough..."

The old shaman coughed again and again, and his face turned red due to difficulty in breathing. The woman quickly handed over the small cloth bag and blocked the old shaman's mouth to let him eat.

Inhaling, this time it took longer for the old shaman's cough to gradually calm down. But when the middle-aged woman took the bag away, both Kirk and Brad discovered that the bag was

In addition to being stained by the saliva of many old shamans, it was also mixed with a little turbid blood. For this reason, Kirk quietly poked Brad with his elbow to show his dissatisfaction, and the other party could only look away in embarrassment.

Go and avoid sight.

"Kole, I heard that Egger is over there too?" the middle-aged woman asked, lowering her head as she quickly replaced the medicine bag with a new one.

"Yes, I heard that Agnes is also over there." Kirk noticed something was wrong with the other party's mood, and then quickly added: "But please don't worry, Aunt Olga, Agnes should be over there.

It is very safe, because it is said that the distinguished guests over there are more powerful than the wolf god to some extent..."

"Nonsense!" The old shaman rebuked loudly and then started coughing violently again, but this time the cough seemed to be much stronger, so that the old shaman almost lost his seat and fell in the carriage.

After seeing this, Olga quickly freed up her hands to help the old shaman. At the same time, Kirk also rushed over to help. However, because Olga was busy replacing a new clean medicine bag at that time, she reached out to help the old shaman.

When it was full, the medicine bag on his lap unexpectedly fell down, and just before the mixed herbs that had been steamed into a lump fell onto the dirty carriage floor, Brad quickly

He caught the sticky herbal medicine in mid-air. Then he imitated Olga's previous actions and quickly pulled out a new medicine bag cloth from the other party's pocket, then rewrapped the medicine and handed it over.

In front of the old shaman's mouth.

After the old shaman gasped feebly, his coughing calmed down again, and Olga calmly thanked the two of them and then sat aside in silence. Kirk slowly

Explaining some of the information he knew, Brad took the opportunity to observe Olga's condition, because when he got in the car, he noticed that Olga's eyes were abnormally red and swollen, even though she had been wearing a headscarf.

She lowered her head, but her actions had inadvertently exposed her eyes.

It was obvious that this middle-aged woman had been crying for a long time before, so that her eyes were like this. Although Brad didn't know much about the legendary Valley Village, and it was the first time he saw these two people.

, but he discovered from the name and the conversation between Kirk and the old man that they should be the mother and grandfather of his colleague Agnes. From this, he inferred that Ms. Olga's sadness should be related to her daughter.

, of course I am not talking about Agnes but her sister Akanos.

He had heard about the tragic sacrifice of this chapter warrior before, so it was not difficult to deduce the reason for the mother's red and swollen eyes. Everyone has their own cherished existence, especially when they have lost the other person.

Brad also knows the grief because he recently lost his companion and fiancée Delilah Keller.

Her death seemed very bizarre to Brad, because the entire team disappeared without a trace without any news. Although the Night Owl organization later announced the death of all members of the team, it did not mention the members.

body and related information. For this reason, Brad worked hard some time ago to find out that a member of the Golden Feathered Owl named Agnes brought back the only relics of his fiancée team and then let the organization know about it.

There was news of the death of that team, so in order to investigate more detailed information, Brad managed to squeeze into Kabarov's Mariaburg support team and came to the north, with the purpose of trying to get close to the agent to inquire.

More news.

For Agnes, Brad doesn't understand it well, because although they are both members of the Night Owl organization, their status and responsibilities are very different. Agnes's Golden Feather Owl is a full-time intelligence branch, and she and her fiancée

The group he belonged to in the past was the Jayhawks, a branch of assassins that was responsible for covert assassinations. There was not much overlap between the two even within the organization. And Brad's interest in Agnes was limited to his fiancée.

Some of the things I heard there, after all, my fiancée had a very close relationship with her, so from this point of view, there shouldn't be much hindrance in gathering information from the other party.

Of course, Brad did have the idea of ​​​​avenging his fiancée, but based on the attitude of the organization towards intelligence blockade, he judged that the enemy's strength was not unusual. Otherwise, as usual, an entire team would die.

The organization should organize large-scale revenge and retaliation actions instead of prioritizing the blocking of intelligence. For this reason, Brad had to make careful plans. Revenge is certain, but it cannot be blind, because acting recklessly will not only expose his own violations

The idea will also cause the revenge plan to fail. In Brad's opinion, this revenge will be a very long process, but no matter whether it succeeds or not, Brad will not give up. After all, he has no other life except this.

Target.

The carriage moved very quickly, and after a while it arrived near Erica's residence. However, at this time, the entire street here was already covered with soldiers from Adrian who were guarding it.

The residents were also driven to a certain distance from the mansion, but even so, there were still many busybodies in the nearby buildings and rooftops to spy on what was going on inside the mansion. Brad

He was keenly aware that many of them were members of the Night Owl organization, and they were all assassins of the Jayhawks just like himself. The purpose was probably to prevent dangerous people from doing anything to the people in the mansion.

Let's take action. As for surveillance, forget about it, because the surveillance operation without sending a single golden feather owl is just a fool.

After passing a series of identity verifications, the carriage stopped at the door of the mansion. Then Brad walked to the door first and rang the doorbell. Then, a few slightly uneasy maids led the next group of four people to enter.

Arriving at the living room of the mansion, the group of people who entered the mansion quickly saw Erica who had come to meet them and others. In Brad's eyes, they found that Erica was no longer as aggressive as she was during the day.

Instead, she greeted everyone with an easy-going look and asked about the Campbells. It seemed that she had not received any notification that the two men were coming.

Erica looked at Agnes's mother and grandfather, and then briefly chatted with them about Agnes. After all, Agnes had been following her actions some time ago, and she also had to show care for the temporary members.

But at this time, she really couldn't let Agnes come out to meet her family, because at this moment, she and Aurora were giving a bath to the wolf god Wormtorre.

As for the Campbells, they didn't know Erica's identity at all. They just treated her as some kind of foreign aristocrat and respectfully said some polite words. Of course, these words were all spoken by Agnes's mother.

Ms. Olga did it, because before the old shaman could say a few words, he started coughing desperately again, so Erica had no choice but to call Puffy over to see the old shaman.

When they saw Elf Puffy coming to the living room, the Campbell women were naturally very excited, because as small residents of the city, they had only heard about the elves from some rumors. Of course, for Meryl Gil and the Principality not long ago,

The same goes for the peace talks, which is why they were so excited after seeing Puffy.

"How is it?" Erica saw that Puffy seemed to have finished checking the old shaman's body and asked, "What is his disease?"

Puffy seemed to be very hesitant. After thinking about it for a while, he approached Erica and whispered: "They are basically diseases caused by aging. Most of his coughs are due to throat problems. These can be done."

He was cured with healing magic, but...his lungs suffered irreversible necrosis..."

"Irreversible?" For this description, Erica instantly thought of a certain word: "Cancer?!"

"I guess...it will only take these two days." Puffy nodded silently and said no more.

Puffy herself does not have a comprehensive understanding of the foreign word "cancer", because the part she knows is some of the earth's knowledge that Erica mentioned when discussing healing magic with her in her spare time, but about irreversible

Erica learned more about the matter from Diana, and the real disease was the so-called cancer.

After all, healing magic is not omnipotent. Diana had told Erica about the relevant knowledge before. Healing magic cannot interfere with some irresistible natural cycles, and the same applies to some terminal diseases.

It has a powerless performance. This may be a stipulation of the laws of nature or it may be Severna's deliberate action, but in any case, magic is not omnipotent and cannot be omnipotent, so for Puffy, she can do this for this person.

The old shaman cured other diseases, but he could not cure his lungs, which were gradually necrotic due to cancer cells. Unless the gods intervened in this matter, the old shaman might really be dying.

Erica still has a very open mind about life, old age, illness and death. Unless this matter involves Diana, Erica will not do anything too radical. Of course Erica understands that her thoughts are selfish, but this

This was her true thought, so when faced with the situation of old Shaman Ham, she did not immediately think of finding a god to extend his life, but also silently ordered Puffy to heal him first.

At least she shouldn't let the old man continue to cough. With this coughing rhythm, Erica was worried that the old man would cough up his lungs.

Simply speaking, the old shaman's body is relatively strong to a certain extent. Except for lung cancer, the other illnesses are minor ailments, so he was "cured" by Puffy's elf magic in just a cup of tea.

.

And just when the old shaman had just taken a breath and had no time to say thanks, suddenly everyone heard the impatient voice of Wormtorre coming from outside the living room: "Where is my tribute? Today

I will definitely make you poor!"

Seeing the puzzled looks from Olga and others, Erica had no choice but to smile awkwardly. Then she walked out and took Volmtorre by the back collar of his bathrobe and brought him directly to the living room.

"An acquaintance is looking for you." Erica threw the rebellious Wormtorre in front of everyone and said, "Your priest risked his illness to come over to see you. How can he try to comfort him?"

Volmutore was very resistant at first, but when she saw the old shaman Ham Campbell, she was suddenly stunned. Facing this old face, the wolf god seemed to recall some past memories.

.

At first, the old shaman looked at the human girl-looking Volmutore with great confusion. Then he seemed to confirm something, and slowly stood up from the chair with a cane and walked tremblingly.

He knelt down in front of Volmtorre.

The old shaman naturally figured out that this human girl was the wilderness god Volmutore whom he had served for decades, because in the past, the wolf god would occasionally transform into the wolf god whenever he came to Vali Village during the harvest season.

This image of a human girl is enjoying the festive atmosphere among the villagers. Of course, she will not directly show her true appearance to the outside world, but will simply cover it up. After all, the sudden appearance of a strange face in the village will always attract the attention of the villagers.

doubts.

The human face of the wolf god is naturally familiar to the shaman priests of the past generations in the village, because the wolf god will participate in the shaman handover ceremony in human form, and the old shaman Ham became a

The shaman had encountered the human form of Volmutore before, but at that time the old shaman was still a young child. He and Volmutore had also been playmates for a period of time, but
