狼人祖先的重生

第 4 部分

Eagle Castle, in the Lord's exclusive study, Kane and his two companions are discussing the situation of Wombley Castle, but the atmosphere has reached a low point.After Catherine slammed the table heavily, she looked at the map of Wombley Castle and said, "My Lord, the soldiers in the territory are not without combat power, especially my deputy Rued. He has reached the threshold of a novice swordsman and will likely advance in a few days."Kane nodded, signaling Catherine to continue."Secondly, although we are inferior in extraordinary strength, we can compensate by relying on numbers, coordinate our efforts, and wait for the opponent to expose weaknesses. We can definitely injure that Hoster."This impractical plan made Marcus, who has rich experience, shake his head.He denied Catherine's proposal, "Captain Catherine, you should understand that a second-order knight, as a user of the Source Armor, no matter how hard we try to attack, we cannot harm him."Source Armor, Catherine also knew about it. It is the exclusive ability of a second-order knight, which involves summoning the source within the knight's body to envelop the entire body, reaching a state where blades and spears cannot penetrate, even resisting spells from mages.The source is the fundamental element for all extraordinaries, just as mages consume the source when using magic, and swordsmen deplete the source when emitting sword aura.Catherine was not discouraged, "Yes, as you said, Sir Marcus Knight, the opponent can indeed summon the Source Armor, but it is not permanent. As long as we continue to attack, we can deplete the outer layer of his armor. By then, it will be our time to counterattack."Just when Catherine thought the others would agree with her plan, Marcus still maintained his opposition."I am very familiar with the method you mentioned. I have seen similar situations on the battlefield, but it was based on a scenario with more than five extraordinaries. With just the three of us, it's tantamount to seeking death."Catherine frowned, seemingly not agreeing with this statement.At this moment, Kane timely intervened to stop their argument."Enough, Marcus, Catherine, stop arguing. Both of your plans have their merits, and I will adopt them.""For the next few days, I need you to do the following: First, strengthen the training of soldiers and try to cultivate another novice extraordinary.""Second, spar with me every morning to cultivate the understanding between us.""Third, send scouts to investigate Wombley Castle's reaction to the disappearance of the assassin and my safety.""Yes, Lord Kane." The two stopped arguing, nodded in agreement, and then got up to bid farewell to Kane and go to execute the orders.After they left, Kane also began to prepare, not only to enhance his own strength but also to understand the anomalies that occurred in his body in the past few days.Picking up the letter opener on the table, Kane looked at his chest. The scene of pulling out the arrow a few days ago was still vivid in his mind, as well as the strange phenomenon in his body last night.Kane could basically confirm that his body possessed incredible healing power.To test his speculation, Kane raised his hand and made a cut on his arm. Unlike normal people, golden-red blood flowed out and dripped onto the floor.A strange itching sensation came from the wound. With this feeling, the flesh and blood on both sides were continuously connecting and healing. In no time, the scars on the arm disappeared."Indeed..."The rapid healing speed excited Kane, giving him a significant advantage in battle.However, if the injury involved internal organs, it would probably take some time even for him.Putting the letter opener back on the table, Kane observed the blood that had just dripped onto the floor.Under the sunlight, the golden-red blood looked very dazzling, as if there was some amazing energy hidden in its flowing liquid.According to the medical theory of his past life, turning blood into gold indicated a symptom of iron deficiency in the body.Kane shook his head; his body was healthy, clearly not in such a condition.But what if it was according to the beliefs of this world? He immediately searched his predecessor's memories.Soon, Kane found a piece of information about blood turning into gold. It was when the previous Baron was still alive, and his young original body, by chance, saw a book called "Lester's Travels" in the family's collection.The book not only described Lester's thrilling epic adventure as an elf but also mentioned the blood of dragons.Dragons were extremely mysterious creatures on this continent, appearing unpredictably and causing bloodshed once they appeared.Legend had it that dragons had large wings and robust limbs. Just a slight movement could crush humans. Moreover, each dragon, once reaching adulthood, could match a sixth-order legend in strength, making them the most powerful existence below the gods.According to Lester's description, the blood of dragons was golden, a rare medicinal material in the world. Magic potions made from dragon blood could allow any creature to surpass its racial limitations, reaching unimaginable heights.Looking at the golden-red blood on the ground, Kane rejected the speculation that it was dragon blood.Apart from the color difference, his strength was still within the first order, and there was no significant improvement.But the key was that Lester mentioned in the travelogue that anyone with blood with a golden color must have a powerful bloodline."A powerful bloodline?" Kane touched the previous wound.A few days ago, he had discovered the extraordinary nature of this blood, but he did not expect it to be a symbol of a powerful bloodline.So, did he transform from a normal human race into a sub-human race?Regardless, just the healing of wounds had already benefited him significantly.Recalling the events of last night, Kane found that whether it was the appearance of white fur on his body, the lengthening of his canine teeth, or the sharpening of his nails, they were all extremely similar to the werewolves in Western fantasy movies and TV shows.In other words, he had become a werewolf on the night he was assassinated.Apart from the impact on his appearance, Kane felt that becoming a werewolf was not a bad thing. If it weren't for the enhancement of strength by the werewolf bloodline last night, he would have been killed by the intermediate-level assassin of the first order long ago, without waiting for reinforcements from Marcus and the others.In Kane's memory, there seemed to be no werewolves on this continent, and even legends about werewolves were completely absent.On the contrary, vampires, equally famous, had continuously appeared in biographies over the past few centuries.Kane felt both excited and fearful about the werewolf bloodline. Excited because the bloodline significantly enhanced his strength, and there were many unexplored areas.Fearful because the changes of a werewolf were too obvious. If someone with ill intentions found out one day, he would probably become a target.Therefore, until his strength reached the fifth order, Kane decided to hide his identity as a werewolf, reduce the frequency of transformation, and study the source of werewolf strength.
