"Since I Became a Werewolf"

Chapter 9: Kelladria

A settlement composed of small ogres was gnawing on the freshly hunted food in the forest. In the center of them, there was a spire - shaped stone carving.

It was about three meters high, two meters long and wide. There was a pattern like a door on one side, making this stone carving look more like a small house in an exotic style.

There were moss - like plants growing on the stone carving. Obviously, it had been left unattended here for a long time.

The ogres were all used to the existence of this strange stone carving, so they ignored it and concentrated on feasting.

At a certain moment when they were eating with great relish, the stone carving suddenly moved!

The side with the door pattern actually made the sound unique to wooden doors.

Squeak -

Glen pushed the door open. He thought he would see a dark room, but unexpectedly, behind the door was a blinding glare, which made his eyes, accustomed to the dark, sting painfully, and he had to block it with his arm.

When he could see clearly, he found himself in a jungle, surrounded by a group of hideous human - like monsters staring straight at him.

"Er... hello?" Glen twitched the corner of his mouth and greeted in a low voice.

"Food... food!" Somehow, an ogre slurred and shouted, breaking the silence.

Instantly, the surrounding ogres put down the meat in their hands, picked up stone clubs and axes, and rushed towards the intruding human.

This welcome ceremony is quite enthusiastic... Glen moved his wrists a bit, and sharp claws grew out of his fingertips...

After a while, after leaving several ogre corpses behind, the remaining ogres were so frightened that they fled in all directions with serious injuries.

Glen could have killed them all, but it would smell bad if they were piled up here, so he maimed them all and let them go. They probably wouldn't survive long anyway.

Where on earth is this? Glen scratched his head and looked at the dense forest around him. Just now, he only had his arms wolf - transformed, so his clothes were not damaged, and he didn't need to go back to change.

Looking back at the place where he came out, he couldn't imagine that the door under his house would lead to this place.

He touched the opened door with his hand. One side was made of stone, and the other side was made of wood. Moreover, he also found that there was a circle of runes on his right wrist, which was related to the door.

The right hand was the one I used to hold the doorknob when I opened the door. Was the mark branded at that time? While Glen was making inferences, the door suddenly closed by itself.

This startled him, and he quickly tried to pry open the c***k of the door with the door - pattern, but obviously, it was useless.

"This..." Glen gritted his teeth, his face looking extremely ugly.

Am I trapped here and can't go back? No, calm down... After taking a few deep breaths, Glen calmed his mood.

He glanced at the runes on his right wrist and tried to grope and test on the stone wall.

Just when he touched a triangular pattern, the runes on his wrist glowed slightly, and the door opened by itself.

This made Glen breathe a sigh of relief and wiped the cold sweat on his forehead.

Since he knew how to open the door, he was not in a hurry to leave here.

He looked around at the environment. In order to see more conveniently, he chose a direction with a high mountain and then explored towards there.

When he climbed to the top of the mountain, the scene in the distance surprised him a little, because at the end of the continuous jungle was a city.

It was the kind of city that existed in every district of the kingdom in this world. He couldn't mistake those European - style buildings, castles, and factories with black smoke.

Am I in the main city of the lord's territory? This idea almost instantly popped up in Glen's mind, and it was very likely.

To verify his conjecture, Glen immediately rushed down the mountain. There was nothing more effective than practice to confirm the answer.

A black gust of wind blew through the jungle, disturbing countless animals and magical beasts, but none of them knew what it was.

The speed that Glen, slightly wolf - transformed, obtained was enough to outrun any creature in this jungle.

The smell of humans came from the air. Before long, he got within a hundred meters of the city wall and saw the main road from a distance.

There was an endless stream of caravans and passers - by, and there were all kinds of strange mounts, lizard - like magical beasts the size of small cars, big cats with two horns, and so on.

The city gate was wide open, and soldiers in armor and holding muskets maintained order.

Glen returned to his normal state, walked out from the dark, and randomly asked a passing young man:

"Hey, friend, can you tell me where this is? I just got lost and somehow ended up here. Do me a favor."

The young man gave Glen a strange look and finally replied:

"This is Kelladria City. Don't tell me you don't even know this place. Unless you're a savage."

Kelladria? It's not the district where Byeck Town is located. Isn't this the main city in the west of the kingdom? It's several districts away from Byeck! Kelladria... It seems to be the district closest to the capital... Glen recalled the information about Kelladria and forgot to respond to the young man for a while.

"Um... What's wrong with you, sir."

The young man waved his hand in front of Glen's eyes, and the strange look on his face became even more obvious.

"Ah? Oh..." Glen was embarrassed for a moment, coughed lightly, and casually explained: "Sorry, I was just distracted. You know, suddenly hearing that you've arrived at the main city of a district, it's easy to be like this."

"Good luck, sir." The young man sighed. Obviously, he didn't want to listen to Glen's full - of - holes explanation, and after slightly saluting, he walked away.

Glen, with a thick skin, didn't care about the young man's attitude and just remained in his own state.

The teleportation magic door reminded me of an animated movie. The former owner of the house was not simple. Being able to construct this kind of magic must have been a great magician.

But looking at the state of my basement, obviously no one had been there for a long time. That magician should be dead...

Without attracting others' attention, Glen returned to the dense forest. He didn't plan to enter the city. There was no need. It could wait until he had money and time in the future.

At the city gate, a sharp - eyed eagle stood on a police officer's shoulder and said in human language: "Damn it, how come I seem to sense the smell of werewolves?"

"It's impossible. This area has been swept clean by the knights. Don't be so jumpy." The police officer said.

...

Leila dressed up elaborately today. She put on her most expensive dress, wore a sun hat on her head, and carried a bamboo basket in her hand, which contained gifts carefully prepared by her mother, all of which were precious foods for a family like theirs. She was clearly dressed as if she was visiting relatives.

But she was really going out, yet not to visit relatives.

She visited several friends who lived nearby in the town and wanted to go together with them, but they all declined because of something. The only one who was free changed her complexion when she heard that they were going to Byeck Town.

She was a delicate girl with some freckles on her face. She half - hid behind the door and said ****: "Leila, listen to me. You definitely don't want to go to that place. I swear! If you knew how dangerous it was there."

"You know that place?"

"Of course. Because I once accidentally went there. It was full of monsters. I saw them with my own eyes. They were in the fog. If I hadn't run fast, you wouldn't be able to see me now." The freckled girl looked terrified.

However, instead of being frightened, Leila covered her mouth and laughed, "Haha... Bonnie, I think you must have been mistaken."

When the little girl saw her reaction, her face immediately turned red, and she pretended to be serious: "Leila! You must believe me! If you don't believe me, you can ask the adults. They will surely tell you the same thing!"

"All right, Bonnie, all right. I have to go." Leila stepped forward and gently hugged Bonnie, and then turned and left.

In Leila's opinion, if Byeck Town was as dangerous as Bonnie said, then how could it still be so unknown and rarely known until now? Besides, that gentleman still lived there.
