When Glenn arrived at his doorstep, he took a quick sniff and confirmed that the black crow had been there.

He took out the key from under a stone and opened the door of his house.

The things were placed behind the door. He knew that Black Crow might not have gone in, but just put the things down and left.

It's really easy to do things... Glenn sighed in his heart and picked up his things and went into the house.

He had to think of a way to preserve the pork he got that morning for longer. There was no refrigerator in this world, so he decided to use the traditional method, which was to smoke the pork.

This world seems to have freezing magic. I must learn about it when I get a chance, so that I don't have to worry about keeping food fresh... Glenn's mind was distracted, and he was dealing with things in the kitchen bit by bit.

...

Having experienced unforgettable despair today, Leila couldn't imagine how she would face life after losing her mother. Fortunately, a kind man saved her life.

"My child, you must thank that kind gentleman. In this world, there are very few people like him." Leila's mother, Mrs. Deli, patted Leila's hand and said, "You are a girl who knows how to repay kindness. I am sure of this."

"Okay, Mom. I'll find out where the town of Bayek is tomorrow. If possible, I'll bring my friends along." Leila answered her mother gently.

"That's fine, but you should be polite and your friends shouldn't do anything that would make a bad impression on others."

"Don't worry, Mom, they are all very polite people."

While talking to her mother, Leila consciously recalled her impression of Glenn.

He was a thin young man, who seemed not much older than herself. Compared with the people around him, he had a different temperament. His eyes were always calm and composed, and his clothes were as simple as hers. It was this kind of person who always made her think of him unconsciously.

I always feel that he is a little different, what is it... Just as Leila was gradually distracted, her mother's words brought her back to her senses.

"Maybe we should consider moving..."

There was a look of fatigue on my mother's haggard face.

"Moving again?" Leila found it hard to accept. She had lived here for several years and had made many friends and neighbors. Moving meant separating from everything she was familiar with.

They had moved twice before, and each time they had to adapt to the environment again, which was very unfair for a fifteen-year-old girl.

"You also know that your father found us again. He almost took my life today. If there weren't police officers patrolling nearby, I don't know what would have happened." Mrs. Deli held Leila's hands with both hands, with heartache in her eyes.

"I understand, Mom..." Leila looked at her mother's face, which was still wounded, and saw the heartache in her eyes. Her mother was obviously the injured one, so what did her own grievance matter?

...

It was already very late when we got back yesterday, and Glenn slept until eleven in the morning because he had to deal with the kitchen.

He rubbed his sleepy eyes, opened the second-floor window, and saw the old neighbor coming back from outside the town with a Rottweiler puppy in his arms.

This old man really likes dogs! Glenn leaned over the window and said hello, "Good neighbor! Where did you buy this dog? It looks pretty good!"

The old man was startled by the sudden loud noise in the quiet streets of the small town of Bayek. He looked at the source of the sound fiercely, and when he saw it was Glenn, his expression froze, then he snorted and ignored it.

Glenn smiled, then went back home and started washing up.

Suddenly remembering something, he whistled out the window, and then a huge beast rushed out from the fog in the distance and soon came to Glenn's house.

The beast crouched below, quietly waiting for orders, its slightly glowing eyes revealing a look of concentration.

"Go to the woods outside the town and guard there. If you see a girl coming, protect her in the dark." Glenn stuck his head out and gave an order.

The beast seemed to straighten its body as if saluting, making people feel that if it could speak, it would say: Yeah.

Then it rushed out of town like the wind.

Today Glenn is going to renovate the furnishings in the house, especially the fireplace. Since it is closed, it cannot be used to smoke meat, so he has to make some modifications.

Glenn had just begun to break open a corner of the brick fireplace when he immediately heard something wrong coming from below, thanks to his sensitive ears.

He put down the hammer and tapped lightly on the base.

Dongdong...

After some exploration, he found the location where the strange noise came from. Although it was subtle, he did find it.

It's empty down there? Glenn looked a little surprised. The original owner hadn't mentioned that there was a basement in the house when he introduced it.

Driven by curiosity, Glenn searched the house, trying to find an entrance to go down. He didn't want to damage his floor unless it was absolutely necessary.

With careful observation, the trap door hidden under a large wooden cabinet in the utility room was found.

The trapdoor was covered with rusty chains, and it was obvious that the perpetrator was very reluctant to let anyone go down there.

But this was useless to Glenn. He just used a little of his werewolf strength to break the chain and open the trapdoor.

There are wooden stairs leading down.

A rotten smell came from below, and Glenn, who had a keen sense of smell, frowned, but he would not retreat.

He found a kerosene lantern at home, lit it, and tiptoed down the wooden stairs to the trapdoor.

When his feet touched the ground, Glenn saw the scene clearly in the light.

The first thing I saw was countless mice squeaking and hiding in the darkness, and then I saw a few old bookshelves with the books on them having been gnawed and torn.

There were miscellaneous items placed on a rotten wooden round table, and glass bottles and jars scattered under the table. They were all broken and the liquid inside had leaked out.

Glenn walked around the basement with a sigh of admiration. He never expected that there was such a place under his house.

He picked up a book that was in good condition from the bookshelf and opened it.

"Hol's Demon Root is the second substitute for something else... the seal..." Glenn read a paragraph with great effort, and when he reached the last level of the book, he complained in Chinese, "Damn! What a bullshit! I can't even understand it!"

He put the book back on the bookshelf and looked through the miscellaneous items on the round table. They were all drafts, containers and the like. There was nothing noteworthy, so he continued to explore the basement.

Since this place is not very big, we can explore it quickly.

To Glenn's great disappointment, there was almost nothing of value here.

But just now he discovered that there was another door, and placed his hopes behind that door.

Hopefully there are some good stuff in there... Standing in front of the door, Glenn took a deep breath.

The door was made of dark brown wood with ancient patterns on it, and the door frame was engraved with runes.

There is something like a clock right above it, but it only has one pointer, and there are five areas with strange words written on the surface, evenly distributed on the surface.

The pointer is now pointing to the area directly above.

He turned the doorknob, and with a click, the door slowly opened. What Glenn didn't notice was that the moment he opened the door, the words pointed by the circular pointer above lit up slightly.
