Chapter 35 Half-ghost beast
"The half-ghost beast is not worth saving. Maybe the Baron can help Ross to drive away the interference of the snow demon."
Charles drank tea and gave Russell a detailed introduction to the half-ghost beast: "But even if the interference is successfully driven away, the half-ghost beast will at most return to an ordinary beast. It is basically unlikely to evolve into a fantasy beast, so it is not worth the loss."
"You have to give it a try, right?"
"Sir, what I mean is that your intention is enough." Charles smiled, "There is no need to bother the Baron for this matter. It is enough to earn a favor from the wildcat sisters. When we deal with the lone wolf Lisbon, the wildcat sisters will also be a help."
Charles' words are very realistic, but it is also the most favorable choice.
Russell did not comment on this. He had his own ideas, so he simply asked the butler Tom to bring the chessboard and play a few games with Charles.
"Aren't you going to rest?" Charles yawned and asked.
"Don't worry, I want to see what the half-ghost beast looks like first." Russell began to place the chess pieces and decided to play until the second half of the night.
"Okay." Charles rubbed his eyes and had to stay up late with Russell.
At two o'clock in the middle of the night, Eric came back with his knights and followers, and the carriage behind him was pulling the half-ghost beast transported by the wildcat sisters.
"What kind of half-ghost beast is this?"
Russell looked at the dying monster on the carriage and asked.
This half-ghost beast looked a bit like a wolfdog, but it was covered with huge tumors all over its body, making it look extremely ugly. There were even several huge tumors on its head, which made it unable to open its eyelids and could only make weak whimpers.
Eric had already studied it on the way: "It's an ordinary wolfdog, probably a mixture of sled dog and hound bloodline, a crossbreed."
"Hmm." Russell nodded, really didn't want to look at this wolfdog again.
Those fat tumors were really disgusting, but he still had the patience to cooperate with Eric to carefully examine the half-ghost beast.
It can be felt that there are two invisible forces conflicting in the half-ghost beast.
Half of it comes from the power of the earth, and half comes from the interference of the snow demon. It is invisible and intangible, but it is eroding its body all the time.
"If it is not treated, it will not live for a few days." Eric said.
"Do you have a way to treat it?"
"No."
"Where is Teacher Charles?"
"Sorry, sir, unless the baron can persuade Mr. Ross, there is still a hope of saving this poor dog. I can't think of any other way." Charles tutted twice, seemingly regretful, but indifferent.
After discussing for a while, several people really couldn't find a good way, so they could only place the half-ghost wolfhound in the kennel outside the manor courtyard.
The kennel had been abandoned for a long time and was used as a utility room.
Butler Morris and the servants were busy for a while before they cleaned up the kennel and gave the half-ghost wolfhound a temporary residence.
"Master, do you need servants to look after it at night?" Butler Morris asked.
"No, you can go to bed normally. Oh, it's so late at night. Tell the servants that they can get up an hour later tomorrow, and the same goes for the kitchen."
"Master, you are so kind."
It was just a casual remark to Russell, but it was a kind favor to the servants. The excellence standard of the noble lords was indeed very low.
...
Xiangshui River Cave, a dry cave, is small in size but decorated very warmly, giving a homely feeling.
A small bonfire was burning, illuminating the entire cave room.
"Sister, do you think that the lord who just came of age will really ask the baron for help and then rescue Kevin?" Catherine asked with a frown. Two deep and long nasolabial folds made her look like a forty-year-old woman.
In fact, she was only in her twenties.
Katie on the other side of the bonfire looked much younger. She was less than thirty years old but looked only thirty-four or thirty-five.
"I don't know."
"I don't know?" Catherine was speechless. "I didn't know, but you asked me to deliver the letter and Kevin. What if Kevin was killed and eaten by them? Sister, you are so cruel. Kevin has been with us like a family all these years!"
"I know."
"You know again?"
"How can you talk to your sister, Catherine." Katie raised her head and looked at her sister seriously. "No matter what, let Kevin protect us wildcat sisters for the last time... If Kevin is killed by them, give up the fantasy and completely surrender to the Lone Wolf Boss."
Catherine asked, "What if he is not killed?"
"That means Russell is at least a trustworthy lord... Catherine, life in the cave is too dark. If there is a chance, I hope to see the light again... This is how my life will be, but I hope that you can get married and have children in the sun..."
"Sister..."
"You have always fantasized about life in the manor, haven't you?"
"But we are very free now, aren't we? Although the Lone Wolf Boss is strong, we are not afraid of him. We can always hide from him!" Catherine found a reason.
Then he gritted his teeth and said, "Russell is handsome, but he is not a gentleman... He slapped me several times!"
"Who caught you in the act?"
"I just wanted to put a letter in through the window and take a look outside. Who knows what the lord looks like..." Catherine still couldn't figure out why she was caught that night when she used to come and go freely in the manor.
Katie sighed: "Forget it... Lisbon has forgotten his status as a pariah, and he started playing with fire... Just wait and see, sooner or later he will play with fire and burn himself, and Baron Phantom Light will not let a pariah make trouble around the territory!"
Catherine suddenly whispered: "Sister, did the Lone Wolf Boss really pick up a mushroom worm?"
"Who knows."
"It must be, otherwise he would not be so arrogant, tut tut, if Baron Phantom Light heard this news..."
The bonfire went out at this time.
Katie clapped her hands: "Okay, the time for sisterly talk is over, go to sleep, Catherine, there is not much food left, and we have to pick mushrooms and moss tomorrow."
At the same time.
In the manor courtyard, Russell once again entered the dark dream, accompanied by a "ga" call, and the little dream dragon arrived as promised.
"Come on, Ice Cream, I may need your help today." Russell waved.
Two cartoon characters, one man and one dragon, took off quickly and lit up the magic light in the dark dream.
Russell saw the location of the kennel almost immediately, with two dim lights, one blue and one white, entangled together.
"Let's go!"
"Ga!"
Xiao Menglong carried Russell to the kennel. Russell could clearly see the blue and white lights entangled with each other, and then outlined the clear outline of the half-ghost beast wolfhound, including the outline of the tumor on the wolfhound.
"The white one should be the power of the earth, and the blue one is similar to the power of the ice hail beads, which is obviously the interference power of the snow demon."
"Ga?"
"Ice cream, do you have a way to extract the blue light, that is, this light?" Russell asked. The reason why he agreed to Katie today was to try his own ice cream to see if it could save the half-ghost beast and do an experiment.
First of all, he speculated that Xiao Menglong was a giant dragon, so if Sir Ross, a two-legged flying dragon, could save the half-ghost beast, Xiao Menglong, who was a giant dragon, could naturally do it.
Secondly, after the little dream dragon swallowed the ice hail beads, the dark dream expanded. If he could swallow the power of the snow demon on the half-ghost beast, he might be able to expand the dark dream again.
Thirdly, if he really saved the half-ghost beast wolfhound, the wild cat sisters would return to their hearts, which would definitely be a great help for him to kill the lone wolf Lisbon.
In short.
Russell would not give up this rare experimental opportunity for both emotional and rational reasons.
