The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 419: Solonik
Annan walked forward slowly and cautiously from the dark corridor.
After she concentrated her attention, the world in front of her stretched and widened again, the background color turned dim yellow, and the speed of time seemed to slow down a lot.
——Although this is the residence of the Duke of Winter, it is unlikely that there are any enemies.
But after all, the job she came to "apply for" was the Hand of Winter.
As the official extraordinary agency of the Principality of Winter and also a secret service agency, if you remain vigilant enough, you may be able to gain extra points during the interview...
However, at the next moment, something suddenly shook in front of Annan's eyes.
...Is it really here?
Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands turned into animal claws silently.
Although it was a completely dark corridor, in the werewolf's vision, he could see the outline of a humanoid moving.
Looks like about 1.7 meters tall and relatively thin...
Although when he became still again, he immediately disappeared from Annan's sight. But as Annan got closer, the man finally moved again.
He stretched out his hand and silently grabbed Annan's neck.
...No murderous intent.
Is it part of the exam?
Annan did it without thinking.
The moment the man reached out to grab him, Annan immediately crouched on the spot.
She hugged the other person's calf tightly with both hands, then immediately stood up, leaned back with the strong strength of her waist, and threw the person directly to the ground.
"Uh...!"
The man's painful groan suddenly sounded.
"Okay, Bella."
The old man's plain voice sounded in the darkness: "He means no harm."
"Yes."
Annan responded obediently.
Otherwise she wouldn't have just thrown him.
But if she is really caught by a man... the wolf kiss ceremony will definitely be postponed at least.
After all, she needs to undergo a certain amount of training before she can be allowed to take the "examination."
As the old man pushed the door open with a creak... light filled the narrow corridor again.
Following the sunlight that filtered in, Annan saw the young man lying on the ground moaning.
It was a young man with light brown hair, fair skin, and freckles on his face.
His cheeks looked very thin, even sunken inward. He didn't seem to be in good spirits, and his forehead was even bruised and bleeding due to Annan's wrestling skills.
But when he stood up, his eyes towards Annan became a little eager.
"Hello, my name is Solonik."
The young man made a low, vague voice and slightly extended his right hand towards Annan, as if he wanted to shake hands but didn't dare.
At the same time, he kept staring at Annan's face.
That strange eagerness made Annan feel a little awkward.
...I beat you up, why are you so warm to me?
Is this person a pervert?
"He is your senior brother. Like you, he has not passed the wolf kiss ceremony yet. You two will get together later."
The old man on the side said in his emotionless old voice: "I am homeless just like you."
"Are you a werewolf too?"
When Annan heard this, he looked at the pale and thin man again.
She whispered, turned her right hand back into a human hand, and shook hands with Solonik.
"No, he's not."
The old man replied coldly: "Even in the entire 'Hand of Winter' organization, you are the only one who is a werewolf."
"I am...I am the child of a murderer. My father and mother are both murderers and killers. They died...at a very early age."
Solonik whispered shyly: "I didn't have money to learn swordsmanship, so I went to make money. But now that I have money, the teacher still doesn't let me learn. Because my status is low, I learn secretly. .
“But in the end I was discovered...and was beaten out by the teacher.
"The teacher said... If I want to learn swordsmanship, I will definitely use it to kill people. Later, when they spread the word, it became that I will definitely kill people... so they kicked me out."
"Kicked out?"
Anan was startled for a moment, and then realized that he meant to drive out of the barrier.
"...What happens after that?"
She asked subconsciously.
The person who answered Annan was the old man standing behind them.
He put his two hands on the shoulders of Solonik and Annan respectively, and replied calmly: "I picked him up later. I saw that he had an outstanding talent for the extraordinary path, so I led him on it. This way."
"Yes!"
Solonik's voice became slightly louder.
Annan seemed to see shining flames in his eyes.
"Only the teacher is willing to take me in, only the teacher is willing to teach me the knowledge of killing..."
It was a very soft voice, but it gave people a sense of fanaticism: "Teacher is my benefactor! For the sake of teacher, I will even give up my life!"
"For civilians, killing is an untouchable red line. But for us, killing is just one of the methods."
The old man said slowly.
There was no expression on his face, and there was ice in his deep pupils: "But you must not kill people for fun. People who let their desires expand will not be able to pass the wolf kiss ceremony."
"Yes, I know, teacher..."
Solonik's voice suddenly became softer.
He lowered his head, his eyes once again becoming wandering and timid.
But faced with his appearance, the old man had no reaction.
Perceiving that this was an opportunity, Annan was finally able to express the doubts in his heart: "What exactly is the wolf kiss ceremony?"
The old man was silent for a while and turned around silently.
Solonik reacted quickly and hurried over. He winked at Annan in front of her and motioned for her to follow him quickly.
The two of them followed the old man and turned two corners, then went down into the basement.
Annan immediately noticed a very strong chill.
It's like stepping into a cold storage... No, it's even colder than that.
Even when walking, you can feel the creaking in your knees. All the joints in his body were screaming, like a computer or fan making a creaking noise when it was turned on in the cold winter.
She subconsciously wrapped her whole body in fur, and couldn't help but hunch her waist and try to curl up.
What surprised Annan was that neither the old man nor Solonik had much reaction to the chill.
The old man seemed to completely ignore the cold, and Solonik's hair began to be frosted, but he did not complain or be surprised about it.
Suddenly~IndoMTL.com~Annan realized something.
...This is probably where the old grandmother hibernates.
After they reached the bottom, the old man turned on the light and said calmly:
"——Here we come."
After a brief delay, the iconic light green sparks of the "Green Fire" ignited, leaping across the room.
Then, a bright orange light strip illuminated the entire basement.
Annan's pupils shrank slightly, and he crouched on the ground, his tail slowly sweeping across both sides uneasily.
Although I have already guessed that this may have something to do with the frost beast...
But Annan didn’t expect that there were so many——
——It’s almost like a chicken farm.
They are now in an underground warehouse of about 100 square meters.
A big number "3" was painted on the wall with red paint.
On the four walls, there are square iron cages with six or seven floors and at least sixteen or seven rows.
The specifications of each cage are approximately one meter wide, one meter high and three meters deep. There is a translucent, light white wolf soul like a soul beast in each cage.
After the lights came on, the creeping and lying frost beasts stood up from their cages and opened their eyes.
Their pupils are extremely pure ice blue.
"The so-called wolf kiss ceremony... is to let you sleep here after the frost beast is released."
The old man said slowly: "After you fall asleep, you will enter a nightmare - a state of complete loss of positive emotions and enter a nightmare. The nightmare is composed of your memories of the past few days... As long as you break free from this nightmare, You have passed the wolf kiss ceremony - and can become excellent extraordinary beings."
Hearing this, Annan was suddenly stunned.
——She realized a very serious problem.
