The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 38: The most important frost beast


"Is seeing me here...also part of the 'future' you see?"

Dmitri looked at Ghirlandaio and said bluntly.

He took off the cigar, and as his deep and magnetic voice sounded, the smoke naturally floated out of his mouth: "Ghirlandaio... Your Excellency?"

Hear Dmitri's name.

Leona was suddenly startled and looked at Ghirlandaio in astonishment.

She is not one of those lower-class civilians who doesn’t know the extraordinary world.

Now she has reacted:

To be called "Your Excellency" by Dmitri, coupled with the word "future" without beginning and end... and the silver ring that looks quite complicated and was originally thought to be for decoration.

Could this be the great wizard of the prophet school?

"...Oh?"

Hearing Dmitri call himself this, "Ghirlandaio" was obviously stunned for a moment.

But he did not reveal his identity directly.

Nor did he ask Dmitri how he knew about himself.

Instead, he grinned with interest and showed a gentle and harmless smile: "I have never heard of you having the habit of smoking."

"Ah, I just got it in recent years. It's not a good habit."

Dmitri replied casually.

He stared at Ghirlandaio and said slowly: "I still suggest that you say everything you need to say clearly.

"Since you can see the future, you should also know why I am here."

"Not very clear."

Ghirlandaio replied with a smile.

——Nonsense.

Dmitri doesn't believe the nonsense spoken by people of this prophetic school.

But he didn't dare to attack them at will.

They who can see the future will never be troubled by any "accidents" or "trouble"... When they take the initiative to appear in front of people, either the arrangements have been made and it doesn't matter anymore; If you attack them, you will fall into their scheme.

Dmitri was a little irritated.

He stood up and walked to the wine cabinet and took down a small barrel of good wine. And scatter the silver coins into the shallow groove where the wine is placed, and the number is consistent with the number marked on the wine barrel.

This kind of self-service tavern is a unique service building in winter.

It looks like an ordinary house, but it never closes the door, and the door is covered with a thick black animal skin curtain - and there is no one inside, only a counter full of wine, a lone lamp, and a bucket of something like sauerkraut. Free food and drinks, and a small round table.

Winter is very cold, so people in winter like to drink.

Even in the winter when crops cannot be grown, the Principality of Winter will purchase a large amount of wine and buy Noah's grain to make wine. There are people going to the tavern, after all, it is very lively and there are hot meals. But the price of wine in the tavern is obviously much higher than the actual price... This is the money you earn from opening a shop.

So some people will bring their own food and drinks and find a cheap private pub to drink and chat with friends. Those who don’t have money can just eat some sauerkraut, and of course there are also those who just drink it.

The owner of a private tavern usually operates multiple "stores" at the same time and is usually responsible for replenishing supplies, while he usually has other jobs.

Because people in Winter are worried that their boss will no longer be able to work or will lose too much money, so they dare not not spend money... If they have spare money on hand, they will give more. People in winter have a good reputation, and "wine thief" is even a very dirty word in winter. It has the combined meaning of being poor, uneducated, and having a dead family member.

Of course, if you are really a beggar who has no money and is about to freeze to death... going into the house and getting some of the cheapest wine to warm yourself up is also accepted by people.

After all, these days are not easy for everyone.

As the son of the Grand Duke, Dmitri naturally would not drink Overlord Wine. But his character is not the kind of person who would give more money.

He poured himself a glass of crimson wine, glanced at Leona again, and poured her a glass. Then he poured a glass for Ghirlandaio without hesitation.

It is different from Leona's style of dragging Annan to drink endlessly.

Dmitri finished pouring the wine and didn't even drink it. Instead, he took another puff of his cigar.

His cigar didn't burn long enough before he took another puff, so it seemed a little bitter.

But this bitterness made him feel more energetic.

...Forget it, there's nothing to hide.

"You should have seen the convoy yesterday. The convoy transporting the frost beasts."

After receiving a positive reply from Ghirlandaio, Demetrius continued in a low voice: "Logically speaking, they were just passing through here. This morning, they should set off for Frostwhisper Province."

Dmitri slowly blew out the smoke.

He glanced at Leona.

"But this morning, they discovered that they had lost a very important frost beast. It is said that the frost beast is also in this city now... I was near the Razor Collar, so I rushed over immediately."

“A frost beast...isn’t it appropriate for His Highness Dmitri to find it in person?

"Is it a very dangerous type?"

The first thing that "Ghirlandaio" thought of was the wolf that belonged to Doreen.

But it’s not just once or twice that Doreen plays the role of a soul thief. Ordinarily she shouldn’t.

Moreover, it’s just a frost beast...

Frost beasts are not rare in winter and can be found everywhere in the wild. It's just that you must go through the preliminary domestication of the Winter Family before you can get a "trained frost beast".

What is precious is the tamed frost beast.

A frost beast that is uncontrolled and attacks other creatures at will may only be able to sell its fur and blood for some money. It wasn't anything particularly valuable...it was just a natural disaster.

Even a lone frost beast is roughly equivalent to Noah's brown bear-level intimidation to hunters - anyway, they will die if they get close, and their defenses are pretty high, so it's not too big. difference.

Considering that the small frost beast is more flexible, the threat is higher.

"It would be nice if it was just an ordinary frost beast... Whether it is a rabbit, a fox, or even a crow-shaped frost beast, I have seen them all."

Dmitri glanced at Ghirlandaio and explained patiently:

"You should also know what the essence of the frost beast is."

"It must be the beast that absorbed the curse from the old grandmother's dragon breath."

Ghirlandaio nodded.

It's no secret.

Essentially, the "Heart of Winter" and the power that causes frost beasts to mutate, as well as the frost beast's ability to absorb the emotions of creatures, are multiple different manifestations of the same type of power.

"That's the problem."

Dmitri said slowly: "Human... is also an animal."

Hearing this, Ghirlandaio was startled.

His pupils shrank slightly.

Noting this detail, Dmitri suddenly felt a lot more at ease - I didn’t expect that you, the blabbering prophets, also have things you don’t know!

"To be precise, it's a werewolf.

"When she turned into a wolf, she was attacked and comatose in the wild. After waking up, she found that she had turned into a frost beast. But the problem is..."

Dmitri said slowly: "After she changed back to human form~IndoMTL.com~ she still possesses all the special abilities of the frost beast. At the same time, she also regained her own rationality. Her name is 'Soufflé', It is the only humanoid frost beast at present... Do you understand? Her meaning.

"The main task of this convoy is to **** her to Frostwhisper Province. But just this morning, the leader of the convoy told me... that he lost the soufflé.

"So, Lord Ghirlandaio. Please tell me, when did you arrive at Razor Ridge? When are you going to leave? What are you planning to do here?"

The man was biting his cigar and his voice was a little muffled. His right arm stretched out from under his coat, held the wine glass and raised it high to Ghirlandaio, and asked in a low voice: "Can you answer me this? Question, bro?"

Ghirlandaio was startled when he heard this.

He chuckled.

He also picked up the wine glass and clinked it gently with Dmitri.

"Why not...my brother."

Ghirlandaio squinted his eyes and said with a half-smile.
