The Wizard: Starting with the Omniscient Cube

Chapter 18 The Mysterious Werewolf

"Damn it, can't you just let me have some peace and quiet? Every time I go out, nothing good ever comes of it. I'm destined to be a beast of burden."

Lin Wei felt his life was miserable. As a lord, all he got was a bigger appetite, and the food wasn't gourmet; it was just to fill his stomach. He even had to take care of himself, miserably cultivating in the basement.

"Let's go, I'll go take a look."

Despite saying that, Lin Wei was used to it and kept his pace as he ran toward the Black Stone River.

Celia rolled her eyes: "Look at you, don't you know how to give Lord Lin Wei a break? Has he had a single rest in the past few years?"

"I didn't know the adults came out."

Ham scratched his head, looking aggrieved.

"You silly goose."

……

On the banks of the Blackstone River, not far from the Lion's Castle, commanders including Roti had set up a cordon to prevent civilians from accidentally entering.

They breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Lord Lin Wei arrive.

"You've worked hard. You should all go back now. I don't need anyone here. If any of you are lost here, I'll suffer a huge loss."

Lin Wei patted Luo Ti on the shoulder and smiled.

"Yes, sir. Please be careful, Lord Lin Wei."

The commanders all knew that there must be extraordinary creatures in the river, which no ordinary person could deal with, so only knight Lin Wei was able to take action.

Your Excellency has done a great service!

Lin Wei discovered that the attitudes of these leaders had all changed from "amiable and pleasant" to "heart-to-heart," and they had completely become one of their own.

"This must be my innate charm!"

As night deepened, after the commanders, including Luo Ti, left, Lin Wei slowly walked towards the dark riverbank.

The ghost appeared and disappeared unpredictably, so Lin Wei was very focused.

There was only the ever-flowing river in front of them; no ghosts appeared.

Lin Wei waited quietly for a while, and then a woman's voice came from behind him.

"I'm so hungry, let me...eat...your brain..."

Without a second thought, Lin Wei immediately activated his Grizzly Bear Armor, sprinted to the side, drew his bow, aimed at the ghost standing frozen in place, and fired several spiral arrows in one swift motion.

His combat principle was to attack from a distance rather than engage in close combat.

Lin Wei sneered, "You're brainless? Then taste my arrow!"

This is a female ghost with a beautiful face. She looks completely bewildered as she watches the arrows being shot at her.

This human is so cowardly! They ran that far in the blink of an eye?

The ghost neither hides nor avoids.

The arrow pierced her body and embedded itself deep in the sand and stones.

"Physical attacks are indeed ineffective."

Lin Wei didn't have many methods, so when faced with the unknown, he naturally wanted to try them all before he was satisfied.

For a moment, both the human and the ghost stood frozen in place.

Lin Wei wanted to get rid of her, but he lacked the means and was afraid of being caught off guard, so he didn't want to take a single step.

The ghost, on the other hand, had been starving for almost half a year.

For some reason, fewer and fewer civilians are lingering by the river at night.

Lin Wei: "Hey, my cultivation time is precious, I don't want to waste it. Aren't you hungry? I'll send someone to feed you some pig brains and cow brains every day, and we can live in peace."

"Otherwise, I will send troops to fill the upstream of this Black Stone River with stones, and the riverbank will dry up sooner or later, which will definitely make you feel bad."

Lin Wei didn't understand the logic behind ghostly appearances, so he could only analyze it based on common sense, concluding that it must be related to the riverbank.

The ghost fell silent.

"You...can you hear me?"

The ghostly voice appeared in Lin Wei's ear again.

"Of course, didn't you say you were hungry and wanted to eat brains?"

"But apart from you... no one else can hear my voice."

Lin Wei asked suspiciously, "Maybe it's because I have good hearing, and I'm a knight, a superhuman."

"Knights can't hear what I'm saying. Only wizards who specialize in mental power can communicate with us ghosts."

wizard?

This was the first time Lin Wei had heard this word, and he remembered it.

"How about it? Cooperation is a win-win situation. You don't want me to block up the Black Stone River, do you?"

Filling in the river would be a huge undertaking and would disrupt the lives of nearby civilians. Lin Wei didn't want to do it unless absolutely necessary.

"Okay... but I want to eat human brains."

"We'll occasionally feed you a human brain, but mainly feed you animal brains. That's all we'll do."

"In exchange, you must not harass the civilians in my territory, or I will be very rude to you."

"good…"

Lin Wei breathed a sigh of relief as he watched the ghost slowly disappear.

The territory was frequently invaded by bandits, and their heads were a good place to go.

Lin Wei always felt that this brain-eating female ghost was not as simple as she seemed.

Since we can't fight it anyway, we might as well feed it for now, and everyone will be happy.

"The martial arts world is not just about fighting and killing, but about human relationships and social interactions."

Upon returning to the castle, Lin Wei informed Celia and the others that the matter of the ghosts appearing on the banks of the Blackstone River had been temporarily resolved.

He simply instructed Ham to send men to regularly feed the heads of bandits and livestock to the banks of the Blackstone River.

Amidst the admiring gazes of the others, Lin Wei disappeared back into the basement.

"Having become a standard knight and gained some self-defense capabilities, I can now begin practicing the Rose Breathing Technique."

"This Rose Breathing Technique is also a mid-grade breathing technique, comparable to the Clear Lion Breathing Technique."

"It seems the Lion Breathing Technique, passed down through generations, has quite a background... I thought it was just ordinary!"

Just as Lin Wei finished memorizing the essentials of the Rose Breathing Technique and was preparing to swallow the Bloodline Inheritance Stone, Ham's anxious voice came from outside the basement: "Lord Lin Wei, something bad has happened! Werewolves have suddenly appeared, and there are quite a few of them. They are all attacking the castle."

"A werewolf? Hasn't it been over a year since it last appeared? Could it be the work of that mysterious werewolf from before?"

Lin Wei jumped up and left the basement again.

……

"Seven heads, eight heads... ten heads."

"The sudden appearance of ten werewolves, and their proximity to the Earl's castle, is indeed suspicious."

"If it were any other earl, even if they risked their entire fortune, they still wouldn't be able to defeat these werewolves; they would only be waiting to die."

Lin Weizheng stood on the top of the castle, gazing into the distance.

The commanders, including Roti, had already led their soldiers in a difficult battle against the werewolves, suffering considerable casualties.

"Unfortunately, I'm already a standard knight, and my strength has improved by leaps and bounds."

Full of confidence, Lin Wei drew his bow and fired a triple spiral arrow at the nearest werewolf.

"puff!"

The werewolf's hard skull was pierced directly by the arrow, and the remaining arrows pinned it to the ground with precision. After struggling for a few moments, the werewolf died.

"This is the first one, killed in a second!"

Lin Wei changed direction and drew his bow again, shooting at the next werewolf.

Without a doubt, the werewolf didn't last half a minute before collapsing to the ground.

"Second one, continue!"

Lin Wei remained expressionless and repeated the same method.

In just half an hour, Lin Wei killed all ten werewolves without sustaining a scratch, an astonishingly efficient feat.

"Long-range attacks are indeed a game-changer. My spiral archery technique was definitely the right thing to do, and my archery experience points have increased by several hundred points."

Lin Wei instructed Luo Ti and other commanders to collect the werewolf corpses and handle the aftermath. In just half an hour, dozens of soldiers had lost their lives to the werewolves' claws.

Suddenly, Lin Wei caught a glimpse of a wolf shadow flashing by in the distance; it looked somewhat familiar.

"It's that mysterious werewolf again! Its sudden appearance is definitely related to it!"

Lin Wei was in good condition and chased after them.
