Chapter 419 Thoronic

Annan walked slowly and cautiously from the dark corridor.

After she concentrated, the world in front of her stretched and widened again, the background color became dim yellow, and the speed of time passing seemed to slow down a lot.

——Although this is the residence of the Grand Duke of Winter, it is unlikely that there are any enemies.

But after all, the job she "applied for" was Winter's Hand.

As the official superhuman agency of the Principality of Winter, it also serves as a secret agency, and maintaining enough vigilance may be able to add points during the interview...

However, in the next moment, something suddenly shook in front of Annan's eyes.

...is it really here?

Annan narrowed his eyes slightly, and his hands silently turned into animal claws.

Although it was a completely dark corridor, in the werewolf's vision, a human-shaped silhouette could be seen moving.

It looks about one meter seven or so, and the figure is relatively thin...

Although when he stopped again, he immediately disappeared from Annan's vision. But as Annan approached, the man finally moved again.

He stretched out his hand and grabbed Annan's neck silently.

...no killing intent.

Is it part of the exam?

Annan didn't hesitate.

The moment the man reached out and grabbed himself, Annan immediately swiped and crouched in place.

She hugged the other person's calf tightly with both hands, then immediately got up, and with the strength of her waist, she fell backwards, and threw the person directly to the ground.

"Well……!"

The man's painful groan suddenly sounded.

"Okay, Bella."

The old man's flat voice sounded in the darkness: "He has no malice."

"Yes."

Annan replied obediently.

Otherwise she wouldn't just throw him.

But if she is really caught by a man... at least the wolf kiss ceremony must be postponed.

After all, she had to go through a certain amount of training before she could go to the "exam".

As the old man squeaked the door open...the light filled the narrow corridor again.

Following the sun shining in, Annan saw the young man lying on the ground groaning.

It was a young man with light brown hair, fair skin, and freckles on his face.

He looks very thin cheeks, and even the cheeks are sunken directly inward. His spirit didn't look very good, and his forehead was even a little bruised and bleeding because of Annan's throwing skills.

But when he stood up, his gaze towards Annan became a little eager.

"Hello, my name is Thoronic."

The young man made a low, indistinct voice, and slightly extended his right hand towards Annan, as if he wanted to shake hands but didn't dare.

At the same time, he kept staring at Annan's face.

That strange eagerness made Annan feel a little awkward.

...I beat you up, why are you so enthusiastic about me?

Is this person a pervert?

"He's your senior brother. Like you, he hasn't passed the wolf kiss ceremony. You two will be together for a while."

The old man on the side made his emotionless old voice: "Just like you, they are all homeless people."

"Are you a werewolf too?"

Annan heard the words and looked at the pale and thin man again.

She whispered, changed her right hand back to a human hand, and shook hands with Thoronic.

"no, he is not."

The old man replied coldly, "Even in the entire 'Hand of Winter' organization, you are the only werewolf."

"I am...I am the child of a murderer. My father and mother, both murderers and killers. They died very early..."

Thoronic whispered shyly: "I didn't have the money to learn swordsmanship, so I went to make money, but I had money, but the teacher still wouldn't let me learn it. Because of my low status, I stealthily learned.

"But in the end I was discovered...and was beaten out by the teacher.

"The teacher said... If I want to learn swordsmanship, I will definitely use it to kill people. Later, this word was passed on by them,

It became that I would definitely kill people... and kicked me out. "

"Driven out?"

Annan was stunned for a moment, and then realized that it meant driving out of the enchantment.

"...And after that?"

she asked subconsciously.

It was the old man standing behind them who answered Annan.

He put his hands on Soronik's and Annan's shoulders, and replied calmly, "I picked him up later. I saw that he had an outstanding talent for the transcendent path, so I led him to this path. road."

"Yes!"

Thoronic's voice was a little louder.

In his eyes, Annan seemed to see a sparkling flame.

"Only the teacher is willing to take me in, and only the teacher is willing to teach me the knowledge of killing..."

It was a very light, yet fanatical voice: "The teacher is my benefactor! For the sake of the teacher, I don't even have to die!"

"Murdering is an untouchable red line for civilians. But for us, killing is just one of the means."

The old man said slowly.

There was no expression on his face, and the deep pupils seemed to be frozen ice: "But you must never kill people for fun. Those who let their desires inflate everywhere cannot pass the wolf kiss ceremony."

"Yes, I know, teacher..."

Thoronic's voice suddenly became much lighter.

He lowered his head, and his eyes became uncertain and cowardly again.

But facing him like this, the old man did not react.

Realizing that this was an opportunity, Annan was finally able to spit out the doubts in his heart: "Wolf Kiss Ceremony... what is it?"

The old man was silent for a while, then turned away silently.

Thoronic reacted quickly, hurried over, winked at her in front of Annan, and motioned her to follow quickly.

The two of them followed the old man around two corners and then went down into the basement.

Annan immediately sensed a very strong chill.

It's like stepping into a cold room... no, it's even colder than that.

Even when walking, I can feel the level of creaking of my knees. The joints of the whole body are screaming, like the computer that is turned on in the cold winter, and the fan crunching noise.

She subconsciously wrapped her whole body in fur, and couldn't help but hunched her waist and tried to curl up.

To Annan's surprise, neither the old man nor Thoronic responded much to the chill.

The old man seemed to ignore the cold completely, and Thoronic's hair was starting to frost, but he didn't complain or be surprised.

Suddenly, Annan realized something.

...This is probably where the old grandmother hibernated.

After they got down to the bottom, the old man turned on the light and said plainly:

"--Arrived."

After a brief delay, the iconic light green sparks of the "green fire" ignited, leaping across the room.

Then, a bunch of bright orange-yellow light strips illuminated the entire basement.

Annan's pupils shrank slightly, crouching on the ground, his tail swept slowly on both sides uneasy.

Although I had long guessed that this might have something to do with the frost beast...

But Annan did not expect that there are so many—

- It's almost like a chicken farm.

They are now in an underground warehouse of about one hundred square meters.

The wall is painted with red paint and a large number "3".

On the four walls, there are square iron cages with six or seven layers and at least sixteen or seven columns.

The specifications of each cage are about one meter wide, one meter high and three meters deep. In each cage is a translucent, pale-white wolf soul like a soul beast.

After the lights came on, the Frost Beast, which was crawling and lying down, stood up from its cage and opened its eyes.

Their pupils are incomparably pure ice blue.

"The so-called wolf kiss ceremony... is to let you fall asleep here after releasing the frost beast."

The old man said slowly: "After you fall asleep, you will enter a nightmare - in a state of completely losing positive emotions, you will enter a nightmare. The nightmare is composed of your memories of the last few days... As long as you break free from this nightmare, you will pass The wolf kiss ceremony - and can become a good superhuman."

Hearing this, Annan was suddenly stunned.

- She realized a very serious problem.
