Lobotomy: Battle Master's Strongest Knight
Chapter 47: The Wolf, the Hunter, and Little Red Riding Hood
Shen Yu threw down the last piece of wood, looked at the two of them and said:
"Don't worry, I know your situation. I just need a wolf skin as a carpet. As for the reward, you can give me anything you want."
"Ah, you are such a generous gentleman!" The old woman covered her chest and bowed to Shen Yu.
"That wolf is very cunning and has eaten many people, but the hunters have not been able to catch it yet. Your help is really great.
"By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right? Why don't you just stay here with me?"
"Please wait a moment, I have two companions." Shen Yu nodded and turned to go out.
"Tsk, one is not enough." Little Red Riding Hood muttered when she heard this, but her eyes were still on the meat saw and musket on the other party's waist.
Then Shen Yu found Qui Ruo and the little knight, talked to them, and led them both out of the room.
"What a weird look?" Little Red Riding Hood sighed, folding her arms and looking at Quirrell and the little knight.
Is it just a weird look? It is indeed a temporary fairy tale world. Hearing this, Shen Yu complained in his heart.
"Please come in," the old woman chuckled, "the food is ready."
(Quorus) "Hello, ma'am. I'm Quirrel, and I'm a traveler."
"You are such a polite sir. Eat more so you will have the strength to hunt wolves." The old woman chuckled.
"Can you understand what he says? Don't you think his accent is a bit strange?" Shen Yu turned his head to look at Little Red Riding Hood who was poking the little knight and asked.
"Of course," Little Red Riding Hood said, turning around. "Your accent is quite strange, too."
Well, it seems that after extraction, insect language can be communicated directly without any obstacles, which can be regarded as the setting of the abnormal body.
Shen Yu sighed, looking at the bark and rhizomes cooking in the pot nearby.
At this time, Little Red Riding Hood had already scooped up a few slices from the pot, handed them to her grandmother first, and then distributed the rest to Shen Yu and others.
Since Shen Yu was not hungry at that time, and the little knight had nothing to eat, they both gave all the food to Little Red Riding Hood.
But after the other person took it, he turned around and put it back into the pot. He still ate the original portion.
Kui Ruo ate with great relish. After finishing, he thanked Shen Yu for a few words and turned to ask:
(Cavillo) "What is a wolf and what did it do?"
"Wolves are..."
"Wolves are born evil," the old woman suddenly said, interrupting Shen Yu's words, looking ahead and saying:
"There are many stories in the world, but none is as disgusting as the story of the wolf. The wolf is the bad guy. It is a huge, hairy, ferocious monster."
(Lost) "Sounds like a scary guy. When are we leaving?"
"It's best to go in the evening, when the hunter will come back with the prey, and you can ask him for relevant information."
"Let's go check it out now," Shen Yu said as he stood up, "there's nothing to do anyway."
When Shen Yu and others left the house, they found Little Red Riding Hood following behind them with an axe.
"What are you here for?"
"Since I was almost digested by a wolf before, I decided that I would kill a wolf like a hunter."
Is it starting to sprout now? Shen Yu simply looked at the other party. Suddenly, he thought of a question. In the world of the abnormal body, what would it feel like to chop the abnormal body with the Dream Nail?
So, when there were no people around, Shen Yu suddenly stopped them and asked the little knight to chop Little Red Riding Hood with the Dream Nail.
Then the knight arched his body, took out the dazzling Dream Nail in his hand, and slashed at the opponent.
But the strange thing was that Little Red Riding Hood just looked at the little knight in front of her with confusion and had no intention of dodging at all.
With a "ding" sound, the Dream Nail pierced through the opponent's body. Shen Yu suddenly had a sentence in his mind:
I want to prove that I am not a burden.
Just like the Hollow Knight, Shen Yu sighed in his heart. The Dream Nail can not only cut through the veil of reality and dreams, but also read the thoughts of living and dead things.
But I thought that I could release the Little Red Riding Hood mercenary in the later Abnormal form. I guess that would not work.
At this time, Little Red Riding Hood frowned and looked at the little knight and said:
"What are you doing standing in front of me and waving?"
After hearing this, Shen Yu thought for a while and answered:
"Little Red Riding Hood, did you see what the little knight was holding just now?"
"What has he got in his hand? Did the two tailors make him a glove, too?"
"What about you, Quiro? Did you see what the knight was holding just now?"
Hearing this, Kui Ruo scratched his head and asked in confusion:
(Karas) "Did your little friend just take out something?"
Sure enough, Shen Yu understood immediately after seeing this.
No wonder in the game, when the Knight swings the Dream Nail, almost all characters cannot detect it, because the Dream Nail only appears to the Knight and the player.
Only the moth prophet, Badong, and the snail clan who are born with control over souls, these beings who are highly sensitive to souls and dreams can discover it.
So, in the eyes of the venomous snake, the little knight just waved his hand and turned into light. This is true. If he could see the dream nail, he would stop it before the little knight chopped it down.
When they returned to the village, people were still sitting there, staring towards the mountains and forests.
"That child was eaten by the wolf, and was the first to die." Little Red Riding Hood pointed to a house on the right and spoke.
Hearing this, Shen Yu approached the house and saw through the broken window frame that a couple was sitting on an old table and chairs, staring at the ceiling with lifeless eyes and mumbling with cracked lips.
There were two small wooden beds in the corner, with some toys on them, but they were covered with a thick layer of dust.
"And the two brothers in that family," Little Red Riding Hood pointed to an empty shack, "went out to find food for their mother. A few days later, their bones and clothes were brought back by another group of people. Then Aunt Sally starved herself to death."
Just then, a child in ragged clothes walked by, dragging a yellow linen bag, and there was a creaking sound from inside the bag.
"He is Hank. His parents died early, and he was raised by only one brother... It seems that he was attacked when he was in the wild. In order to save him, his brother held the wolf alone." Little Red Riding Hood explained:
"The next day, people brought back the gnawed bones from that place."
"What did the wolf look like?"
"Gray fur, white claws, and thick black eyebrows, this is what all wolves look like." Little Red Riding Hood spread out her hands and said casually.
"Is that so? Then where is he going?" Shen Yu asked Little Red Riding Hood while looking at Hank dragging the cloth bag.
"Bury him in the cemetery. If you want to know more, you have to ask the hunter." After saying this, Little Red Riding Hood walked straight into an empty house.
(Kulas) "This sun is too big." Kui Ruo glanced at the blazing sun above, and then said to Shen Yu, "Where should we go to investigate now?"
"Let's wait for the hunter." Shen Yu sighed. He found an empty house, leaned against it, held the musket at his waist, and waited.
When the sun went down, everyone stood up and rushed to the road like a pilgrim, staring eagerly at the forest ahead. Shen Yu also followed and looked out from behind.
When several figures appeared there, the crowd suddenly became agitated, murmuring in low voices.
The leader was a man with wrinkles and stubble on his face, carrying a rusty hunting rifle on his back, but only a small bulge was left in the hunting bag.
The few people following behind him were wearing ragged clothes and carrying shriveled sacks.
"I'm sorry," the hunter stood in the crowd, "we didn't catch the wolf."
"Then...where is the prey?" a villager asked, shrinking back and lowering his head.
"That's all." The hunter sighed and took out a few wild pigeons and some red meat from his cloth bag.
At this time, a woman rushed into the crowd, threw herself in front of the hunter and said:
"Did you hunt down that bastard? My...my child was..."
But when she saw the other party's empty cloth bag, her eyes suddenly dropped.
At this time, a villager said: "Mia, I told you a long time ago not to forget to lock the door. Who told you to live so far away?"
"No, no, I locked it. I locked it."
"Locked it? How could it be eaten by wolves if it was locked? You must have forgotten. I remember you even forgot to take the firewood back last time."
"No, I didn't. I wouldn't..." The woman held her head, knelt on the ground, and her eyes trembled.
The hunter glanced at the other party and found Shen Yu and others standing behind him. He frowned and asked:
"Who are you?"
"I'm just a mercenary. I came here because I heard that there were wolves here." Shen Yu took a few steps to the hunter, and the little knight followed closely behind.
"We don't have the money to hire you. We will deal with the wolves ourselves. If you know what's best for you, leave now. Who knows what you outsiders will do?"
"No, no, I just want a wolfskin rug." Shen Yu stepped forward and hooked his arm around the hunter's shoulder. "I heard you have a wolfskin at home, too. How about selling it to me?"
"No, don't try to get close to me." The hunter waved his hand and took a picture of Shen Yu.
At this moment, the Knight has already swung the Dream Nail at the opponent, reading his thoughts.
Then Shen Yu smiled awkwardly and stepped back, and asked Little Red Riding Hood:
“Where is your cemetery?”
