Soon, lunch was over.

Alvin wanted to get up and say goodbye, but was stopped by Lord Silverlaine, who warmly invited him to visit the castle.

He found it hard to refuse the kindness, and thinking that it would be fine to go back anyway, he went with the lord.

The interior of the castle is magnificent and complex, with family flags and various weapons hanging on the high stone walls.

There is a stable on the lower floor, where people are responsible for taking care of Silvaline's beloved horses.

After walking up the spiral staircase to the corridor upstairs, there are some oil paintings hanging on both sides, which seem to depict the glorious history of their family.

The candlesticks on both sides of the corridor were burning with faint flames, casting a warm glow.

With every step, you can hear the sound of footsteps echoing on the stone floor, as if telling the antiquity and mystery of the castle.

Silverline led Alvin through corridors and finally came to a spacious study.

The study is filled with various ancient books and scrolls, and the window overlooks the entire castle.

Alvin noticed that there was a magical spire that was taller than the study, making it particularly eye-catching.

Alvin felt strange and asked, "What is that place?"

"That place is Arugal's magic tower. I gave him the highest place in the city for research, but this shady guy stays in it almost every day and never comes out. Pay attention to my words, I mean, he really never comes out, he eats, drinks, defecates and urinates in there. I really can't imagine what this bug has done to that house now." Lord Silvarion explained.

Alvin looked at the magic tower and felt that there was something wrong with it.

I have been to Silvermoon City. When I was in Silvermoon City and Quel'Thalas, I saw countless tall and majestic magic towers, all of which were surging with arcane energy, especially those in the royal city, which all gave people a surging feeling.

However, there was an ominous aura surging around this magic tower. It was obvious that this was not the power of arcane, but the shadow power that he was more familiar with. Thinking of this, suddenly, Sartharion began to tremble in his arms again.

Alvin's heart moved. He held Xal'atath in his arms and asked, "Does Mr. Arugal usually interact with anyone? He can't just not eat or communicate, right?"

Lord Silverlaine thought for a moment.

"He doesn't come out very often. The most he does is communicate with the people in the castle."

"Then, he has a bit of a bad taste and likes to give gifts to men. I've always suspected him. Well, how should I put it? You just saw it. I suspect he might not like women."

Lord Silverlaine scratched his head and smiled awkwardly, "So he often gives things to men, like bracelets and such, seemingly made by him himself. I've seen them, and the workmanship is average, but that crystal is truly a rare find."

"Can you tell me who he gave them to?"

Alvin thought of the bracelet, and as if some things had gradually become clear to him, he hurriedly asked.

Lord Silverlaine thought for a moment and said, "From what I know, the people he's given it to include Steward Beaver, Militia Captain Gray Waltz, and me. Of course, I think he's a bit disgusting, so I've never worn it."

"Look, I threw it here."

As he spoke, he opened the bookcase and took out the crystal bracelet inside.

"Please think carefully again, who did you give it to?" Alvin asked, turning his head sideways.

The lord thought for a long time, then spread his hands and said, "I don't know either."

Alvin took a deep breath and said a name: "What about Briefs? Have you forgotten this person?"

Lord Silverlaine said in shock, "How do you know that name?"

Alvin sneered, "So it seems the rumors are true?"

Upon hearing the name "Brevets", the strong middle-aged man, Silvaline, immediately slumped down in his chair like a deflated ball.

He looked completely different from the high-spirited look just now, as if he had aged ten years.

He nodded and said, "Yes, this poor guy also received a bracelet."

Silverline suddenly sat up straight and said, "What do you want to say, Mr. Priest? Are you saying there's something wrong with this bracelet?"

"Yes."

He picked up the necklace that Arugo had just given him.

"I can sense magical energy within this crystal. According to a good friend of mine, this type of crystal allows mages to store their magic power and then withdraw it when needed. But I can sense that this crystal might not contain anything good. It might be some kind of evil...or even a curse."

"I don't understand these things you mages are saying. Just tell me what you mean." Silvaline frowned.

Alvin slammed the bracelet on the table.

"I suspect there's a terrible curse in here that can turn humans into werewolves!"

Silvaline was skeptical, thinking that Alvin's inference was a bit too alarmist.

"How is this possible? I've never heard of such a terrible curse!"

Alvin ignored him and continued to ask, "Think back to Arugo's past! What did he do before? What did he say? Is there anything suspicious?"

Silvaline felt the pressure from Alvin and thought about it seriously.

"I invited Arugal from the Kirin Tor because I wanted to use his magical power to help us defeat the giant wolves left behind by the orcs."

"In fact, we did succeed, but even though we had such a numerical advantage, some of my men still fell to the giant wolves. So I thought, if the giant wolves are so powerful, then the orcs who can tame them as mounts must be even more terrifying? So I began to hesitate. I was afraid that I would eventually be unable to protect my people, so I asked Arugal to find a way to increase our strength!"

Alvin clapped his hands and said, "That's right! So he studied the method of transforming humans into werewolves. Think about it, what will Briefs do after the transformation? Doesn't his strength increase greatly?"

As if Silvaline didn't want to recall the horrible scene, he still closed his eyes painfully and thought about it carefully.

He said painfully, "Yes, Briefs had undergone a painful transformation and turned into a werewolf. His strength was not only greatly increased, but it was simply the reincarnation of a devil! We were all terrified at the time, but Arugal, yes, now that I think about it, he was not afraid, he was excited! He rushed out of his magic tower excitedly, and wanted to talk to Briefs. But the poor guy had completely lost his humanity, and just madly attacked the people around him. I couldn't bear to see him cause more damage, so I locked him up in the stables on the lowest level, and then shot him with a bow and arrow upstairs! Poor Briefs, I killed him with my own hands!" Lord Silvalene covered his face in pain, as if crying.

"So now I have reason to suspect that Briefs was cursed and turned into a werewolf because he carried this bracelet with him! And he's an insane werewolf who can't communicate, right?!"

Alvin was extremely anxious at this moment.

"That's true, but how can you prove that it was definitely caused by this bracelet?" asked Lord Silverline.

"That's why I'm going to prove it now! Come with me, let's go back to Sepulcher!"
