Dawn of the Grey Tower
Chapter 105
Jack offered to keep up with the wolfhound, but cheese stopped him. If you want to catch a large hound domesticated by Wolf wizard in such a complex terrain, the mage will never approve of it unless there are some people who are far faster than ordinary people. With the loss that is hard to hide, "monkey" had to give up his idea. But cheese patted him on the shoulder and comforted him.
"Don''t be sad. We''ll see the dog again when we visit the hermit. And there may be more than one. If we can make a deal with the hermit, maybe it won''t be difficult for him to give you a wolfhound
When the mage said this, he had no idea. As far as he knew, the way wolf wizard tamed wild animals was different from that of any race. According to the records in books, those strange wolf walkers seemed to have the ability to talk with dogs. What''s more, their conversation is not to feel the animals'' intentions vaguely like the Forest Elves, but to communicate with those animals, which makes their animal partners as close as friends and even relatives.
So far, no mage can copy or study this magical ability of wolf sorcerer. After all, the existence of wolf wizard is too important for wolf walker. If he wants them to cooperate in the research, even if he agrees, his tribe will never agree.
But Jack didn''t know that. After hearing the cheese, the son of the hunter was happy again. Thinking of his chance to get a wolfhound, "monkey" became very enthusiastic about persuading the hermit.
The area of the slum is not large. Although the labyrinth of paths and buildings without planning makes it like a maze, cheese and others who know the exact location quickly find the hermit''s residence. From a distance, this small house, separated by a stone wall from the surrounding buildings, is so alien that it looks more like a witch''s house that will be built in the depths of the forest than a hermit living in a densely populated iron Castle slum. This small house has only one floor. From the outside, there are no more than three rooms in it. There is a courtyard around the house. Through the stone wall which is up to the chest of an adult man, you can see a big tree in the courtyard. It should be an apple tree. The spring breeze has not yet blown to the iron fort from further south, so there are no leaves on the apple tree. The bare branches look like a strange hand facing the sky, which makes people feel uncomfortable.
"Why does this house look so scary?" Elsa whispered. Jack and Mona around her nodded in agreement.
In the face of a scene full of horror, cheese actually smiles. He replies with the same volume.
"Don''t be afraid. It''s just a hint. It seems that the hermit already knows that we are coming."
With that, the mage strode to the wooden gate and knocked on the door with his hand.
"Hello, we are entrusted by the Lord of wolf to come here to ask for your help. Can we enter? "
No one responded to the master''s greetings. The alley seemed to be remote in the slum area. There were no passers-by except for cheese and them. Just as the mage was about to knock on the door again, a slightly alarmed cry came from behind him.
"Be careful! Behind you The landlady''s voice trembled, as if there was something terrible behind the mage.
Cheese frowned a little at the warning of his companion. He didn''t feel anything approaching him. But when he looked back, the mage suddenly found that he was surrounded by five or six large dogs. These dogs are generally large in size and obviously can be used as hunting dogs. Although the mage can''t name each of them as Jack does, cheese knows that these dogs are not easy to be provoked just by their smooth muscle curves.
"Don''t move. Your actions will be regarded as provocation and don''t try to intimidate them. These are fierce breeds. They won''t be scared by you." Seeing that the mage wanted to turn the whole body around, Jack quickly reminded him.
After receiving the warning, cheese quickly stopped his body movement. At this distance, the mage had no doubt that as long as these hounds swarmed on for minutes, he could break his neck. In this case, there were not many ways for the mage to protect himself. Looking at the drool from the corners of the big dogs'' mouths, it''s not surprising when the dogs rush up. Just when the mage and this group of beasts were in a stalemate, the dogs seemed to hear something and turned their heads to the landlady and their side.
See "monkey" put his finger on the corner of his mouth, as if in whistling as hard as breath, but his mouth did not make any sound. But the hounds seemed to be attracted by his voice. Their eyes were fixed on Jack. From the eyes of the dogs, cheese faintly saw the twitch, as if Jack was doing something that made them very afraid.
"Enough, stop scaring my dog!" At this time, an old voice came out from behind the gate. Judging from this voice, the man who claimed to be the owner of the dogs should be an old lady. With this angry exclamation, the door of the courtyard in front of the cheese maker was opened from left to right. In front of several people, it was indeed an old woman wearing clothes with floral patterns. There is no doubt that she is the purpose of cheese''s trip.Seeing the dog owner, Jack stopped what he did. The party watched the angry old woman push the cheese out of the door and comfort the big dogs one by one. The expression on her face was like comforting the bullied grandson.
"Hello, we are..." Said the mage, but his words were interrupted as soon as he spoke.
"I know who you are and what you are here for! I can smell the magic on you from half an iron castle With dissatisfaction tone, the old man said angrily. At the same time, he glared at the cheese.
"Er..." The mage scratched his face awkwardly. When the other party interrupted him, his prepared speech was stuck in his throat. But fortunately, the old man didn''t care about him after staring at him. Instead, he said to jack on the side.
"Are you a good boy? Dare to scare my dog? Where did you learn it? "
Looking at the old man''s facial features distorted by anger, Jack somehow felt like a child who had done something wrong. He bowed his head and replied.
"I was afraid of dogs when I was a child. My father taught me that. He said that the sound of this blowing can make the dog afraid of me
"Your father? What does your father do? " Asked the old woman, as if she were interrogating the prisoner.
"My father is a hunter of Longji mountain, the best hunter..." Jack replied.
"Hunter? Well, you guys, come in first. Don''t stand at the door and let people watch jokes. " I don''t know why. The old man and the big dogs took the lead to walk into the yard. Cheese and others behind her looked at each other, and they followed each other in embarrassment and silence. They vaguely felt that the hermit seemed a little different from what they had imagined before.
