Chapter 40: Demon Wolf Pack

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

“You must help us drive the demonic beasts away.”The village chief cried bitterly. After all, this was the village he had always protected, but he was completely helpless when it was destroyed. He had no way to save it.

The villagers who had been living with each other day and night asked their village chief for help, begging for a trace of protection. However, even if their village chief used up all his magic power, he could not slow down the demon wolf’s advance. There was no way for any of the villagers to escape and welcome a chance to live.

In the end, all the villagers died in front of the village chief with their hopes. The black magician smiled and raised his wand, easily destroying one house after another. Finally, he stuck a charm on the village chief.

The charm emitted a dark red light and jumped to absorb all the remaining magic power on the village chief’s body. It then extended its tiny sharp tentacles and stabbed into the village chief’s body one by one, casually shuttling through and destroying the village chief’s body.

“Go and issue the bounty mission, old man.” Miller smiled. His melted face made the smile look very strange. “Go to Derek Academy and post a bounty mission, specifically asking for Michael.” If he remembered correctly, Michael was also a member of this village. Something so big had happened to his family, so he had to come back to take a look.

“Yes.” The village chief was so scared that he trembled. He tried to circulate the magic power in his body, but he found nothing. The charm had absorbed all the magic power in his body and destroyed the foundation of his magic power. Now, he had completely become an ordinary person and could no longer use magic.

Unable to use magic, the village chief fell into a deeper fear. He stood on the spot and trembled. “Please let us go. There’s nothing good in our village. If you hit us, it would only be a waste of magic power. And Michael hasn’t been back for a long time.”

“Is that so?” Miller pinched the village chief’s chin and forced him to raise his head. “But you look like you’re not convinced. Why was he still circulating his magic power just now? Are you trying to ambush me? Hmm?”

“I wouldn’t dare. How would I dare?” The village chief was lifted by Miller, and his entire face was flushed red. He reluctantly replied, “I’ll do whatever you want me to do, okay? Let me go.”

“You better listen to what I say.” Miller casually threw the village chief away, and he fell heavily on the ground in the distance, creating a huge pit. “If I find out, what are you up to? I will make you regret being born into this world.”

The village chief crawled up from the ground in fear and ran to report the bounty mission. Miller had already returned to the black magic base.

At the village chief’s house in Y Village.

Miller’s destruction had left a huge psychological shadow on the village chief. He spent a long time before he could intermittently tell Michael and the others what had happened a few days ago.

Michael listened carefully to the village chief’s account and learned that Miller had already left the village. However, Miller’s charm also puzzled Michael. This was the first time he had seen a charm that could turn a mage into an ordinary person. This should be the work of a black magician.

It seemed that Miller was not only practicing black magic now. He was probably already mixed with real black magicians. This realization made Michael extremely frustrated. One Miller was already very troublesome, and now that the black mages were behind him, things seemed to have gone in a more troublesome direction.

“Have you seen my sister?” After listening to the village chief’s story, Mr. Royce asked the question that he was most concerned about. Neither he nor Carl found Royce’s sister’s body in the village. He suspected that Miller had kidnapped his sister. Perhaps Miller was planning to take Royce’s sister hostage to force them to do something.

“I didn’t see your sister Anna.” The village chief carefully recalled for a while and slowly said again, “From the beginning, I haven’t seen that little girl. It was unknown if the demon wolf had eaten it whole or if it had escaped.”

“Please, you must help. This is all my savings.” The village chief took a few hundred gold coins from his pocket and handed them to Michael. Y Village was located in a remote area, and all the villagers there were impoverished. As the only force protecting the village, the village chief did not have the time or ability to go out and accept the bounty mission.

These gold coins were his entire savings.

Michael did not take the gold coins from the village chief. “Village chief, I don’t want any remuneration for this. This is also the village where I grew up. Now that it was destroyed by outsiders, as a village member, I have the obligation to avenge it.

“Besides, the village is completely destroyed now. We still need money to rebuild it. You’d better keep the money well and use it when you rebuild the village.” Michael then took out another 1,000 gold coins from the treasury and handed them to the village chief. “I’ve been away studying for so many years, so I’ve saved up some money. Although it wasn’t much, it should be enough to help rebuild the village.”

This was the first time Michael had invested without hearing Kanal’s investment reminder after obtaining the treasury space. He knew that this investment was not wise, and he would not be able to get a corresponding return on his investment. However, he did not want his village to decline completely. He still hoped that the village could become a little better.

Although most of the villagers had been killed by the demon wolves, a few might still be left. Michael still remembered that most of the villagers were simple and kind. They had once helped him when he was young. They often gave Michael and Royce, who had no parents, food, clothes, and gold coins. It could be said that they grew up with the help of the villagers.

“Thank you so much. You’re a good child.” The village chief couldn’t refuse. He carefully put away the gold coins with a trembling hand. “We’ve always been proud of you and Royce. You two are the most promising children in our village. Don’t worry. Even if I have to risk my old bones, I will definitely rebuild our village as it was before.”

After bidding farewell to the village chief, Michael became serious and began to search for traces of magical beasts in the surroundings. Mr. Royce took out a search charm and scattered it in the air. Black words spread out from the charm paper and flew in all directions of the village. Carl released his vines and extended them from the ground, not letting go of any tiny clues.

Soon, a charm flew back and waved in front of Mr. Royce for a while, indicating that they should follow him. It seemed that they had found a clue.

Mr. Royce rushed in front and led the few of them to follow the talisman. Soon, they found a group of crazy demon wolves on the village’s west side. Opposite them, a surviving villager was dragging his injured body and trying to escape. There was a newborn baby on his back.
