Gloria felt very hungry. At the same time, she wondered if she was still able to feel hungry. Pain, indescribable pain plagued her day and night, and it felt like every bone and muscle in her body was being twisted and pulled. Under the torture of this kind of pain, Gloria could not control herself completely. She clearly realized that she was gradually becoming a beast under the oppression of pain, but she had nothing to do. Gloria huddled in the cave, surrounded by animal bones and frozen body fluids. Three days. If someone had said that a beautiful and healthy woman could be turned into a monster in three days, Gloria would only regard it as a horror story. Now, the story is happening to her.

    She had forgotten a lot, and fortunately she remembered her name, Gloria von saloon, the third daughter of the count of salon, and the youngest child. As the son of one of the Lords, Gloria''s life had been smooth until ten days ago. Pestilence, the word for a long time, has never been associated with the Earl of salon in the north. The cold and long winter can make most infectious diseases disappear between the ice and snow. However, it still broke out. At first, it was hunters and farmers on the edge of the territory. The closed traffic in the Middle Ages made it difficult for the Earl of Saron to know the trend of his territory at the first time. So when the first infected people appeared in Xigu City, the capital of the Earl''s command, the whole Earl''s collar was seriously ill. Those who are infected start with fever, delirium, and pain. They grow black spots on their bodies, and the spots turn into black tumors. The tumors burst out and give out a foul, brown green pus. And if that''s all, or if the plague only kills people in the end, it''s not too dangerous for Gloria to live in the castle. However, as the chief scholar of the territory said, in many cases, death is not the worst outcome.

    Gloria remembers that, even in great pain, she would never forget those eyes, those narrow, dark green eyes flashing in the dark, pair by pair, in the dark, under the faint light of the torch, which made people feel afraid from the bottom of her heart. Maybe that''s why the Earl, the first warrior and the Lord''s chief knight, could only let Gloria escape alone. Gloria still doesn''t know what those eyes belong to. But she knew that no matter what they were, she was slowly becoming those things.

    "Well (laughter... " Driven by instinct, I open my eyes like a layer of green film in front of my eyes. All things become weird and fuzzy under the distortion of this film. Correspondingly, Gloria''s sense of smell became so sharp that she even had the illusion that even if she closed her eyes and relied on her ears and nose, she would not bump into anything. The smell of blood, the smell of decay, the smell of snow, and the smell of acid from her own, all of which made Gloria lose her sense of smell forever.

    Hungry, the most primitive instinct drove her to get up from the burrow where she was hiding, and her sharp nails scratched across the stone and made creepy noises. Look for anything to eat, something with body temperature, anything.

    The sun was setting, and cheese stood in the snow, watching the sun falling into the mountains. Cold wind does not seem to want to rest with the sun, but more intensified. On the night of Longji mountain, no one wants to leave the town after nightfall, and the farmers rush their livestock to the shed early and return to the warm indoor. In the past three days, cheese didn''t think much about the theft. For him, the criticism of the townspeople and the complaints of the landlady were not as important as the trial given by the teacher. However, now that there is a close relationship between the two, the mage has to deal with this matter seriously.

    Through an afternoon''s visit, cheese probably determined the location of the animal''s loss, and combined with the speculation in his brain, he felt that he should face some kind of beast, at least in the way of behaving. Since it is a beast, it must have a nest. Combined with the body shape of the lost animal, the mage can also roughly infer the range of activity of the hungry creature. Now, all he had to do was wait patiently for the beast to come out of its lair, driven by hunger. The cold wind and snow can''t block the mage''s sight. If he wants, he can even sense the position of the snake hibernating under the snow. So cheese believes that he will never miss the opportunity to arrest.

    Here it is!

    Open and close the eyes, cheese quietly took off the gloves, heavy leather can bring good warmth, but also reduce the mage''s casting speed. In the face of this type of enemy, cheese needs to make full use of every moment. One hand took a sheepskin kettle out of his arms. The other hand made a few gestures at random, and then stuck it on the kettle. The temperature of the kettle began to rise. For a moment, cheese lifted the spell. He opened the lid of the kettle and poured hot goat blood from a kettle on the snow in front of him. The warm blood soon loses its temperature, but its smell, has gone with the wind.

    "Come on, good dog, come on."

    Soon, cheese waiting for the object to come to the appointment. Cheese had never seen it in any book in the library or heard it in anyone''s mouth. The monster in the ice and snow looked like a mixture of man and mouse, but the mixture was rough and casual. Cheese can guarantee that even the evil mage''s biological experiments will be much better than this one. Mottled hair, confused eyes, and a dark red blood stained kiss.Obviously, the monster also found that the delicious prey in his imagination was just a wizard''s mask, but for it, cheese itself might be good meat. But maybe it''s the instinct of the beast or the remaining human nature that makes it not rush directly. Instead, it looks at cheese from a certain distance and hesitates. It seems to be watching.

    But the mage didn''t give it any chance. There was a magic light in cheese''s eyes. His casting speed was so fast that the monster didn''t respond to his actions. His casting was finished. The ice and snow under the monster''s feet seemed to come to life in an instant, and turned into a snake. It coiled up along the monster''s feet and let the monster struggle, but the snake made of ice and snow was clinging to it. Even if occasionally shaken or patted off a little bit, more snow becomes part of this snow snake.

    "Solidification."

    With the words in the mouth of cheese, the soft snow instantly turns into hard ice, and the monster''s struggle is over. It is not that it doesn''t want to continue to struggle, but the solid ice has blocked its body, making it unable to move. Looking at the monster in front of him, cheese found that his palm was covered with sweat unconsciously.

    "Well, now let''s see what you are." The mage excitedly approached his prey, but he did not notice that there were some fine cracks on the cage made of ice.
