The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 39: Doreen and her teacher

Doreen crouched in the corner of the room with her hands on her knees and fear.

The frost beast she brought was squatting in front of her, staring at her closely.

It is full - it will not attack others due to appetite for at least two days.

As a mind thief, Doreen knows this very well.

But her fear is not because the frost beast is staring at her...

But because of His Excellency "Ghirlandaio".

——How could a wealthy businessman from Noah have the skills to tame a frost beast instantly?

How could Doreen, a wandering werewolf, possibly tame a tamed frost beast?

If she had a tamed frost beast, the price of selling it directly would be enough for her to eat, drink, have fun and enjoy a happy life for more than ten years... Why would she need to use "Scammer and Missionary" "Come to deceive passers-by and take risks to steal other people's hearts?

Her frost beast has never been tamed at all.

Just because Doreen took it to "eat a few meals", it would not regard Doreen as a priority attack target unless it was particularly hungry.

The relationship between her and the frost beast would be more appropriately called "cooperation".

But such a frost beast was instantly tamed in front of His Excellency "Ghirlandaio"...

Without a doubt.

This Lord "Ghirlandaio" must have the blood of winter!

Even if he pretends to be a wealthy businessman from Noah, he can't hide this power. If a random extraordinary person could tame the frost beast, the frost beast would not be a disaster.

To be able to tame the frost beast, even if he is not Grand Duke Ivan, he must be within two generations of Grand Duke Ivan... He is undoubtedly a great man.

If she had followed her original life trajectory, Doreen would never have met such a big shot in her life.

But why..."Ghirlandaio" chose to hide his identity and go back to the winter in a circle from Noah?

Doreen didn't dare to guess or ask.

I can only throw all the blame to the teacher.

She always felt that she had accidentally been involved in some conspiracy involving the highest level of the principality...

Just being glanced at by His Excellency Ghirlandaio made Doreen so nervous that her back tensed up and her palms kept sweating.

Now she wanted to run away very much, just waiting for the sentence "You can leave", but she didn't dare to run away without permission.

Lest it be revealed that he had guessed Ghirlandaio's true identity.

She will not have any inappropriate curiosity, and she will never inquire about anything.

Doreen knows very well——

The less you know, the safer you are.

What's more...

"...I'm just a werewolf."

She buried her head in her knees and murmured softly.

Werewolves are not popular with people in winter. Only dwarves who are good at wine, have strong labor force and don't like meat can get along with the winter people in the resource-scarce Principality of Winter... When the full moon is close, the werewolves who occasionally go crazy and lose their mind are not affected. People's trust.

It can even be said that werewolves will be discriminated against by other races.

Of course, werewolves are also citizens of the Principality of Winter. In the Principality of Winter, as long as they are minors, disabled people or people with serious illnesses, or have worked in exchange for remuneration for more than one month, they are citizens protected by law.

As an adult, those who are free from illness and disaster but do not work will not be protected by the laws of the Principality of Winter.

But the problem is... Unless your abilities are truly outstanding, werewolves basically cannot find a job.

At the same time, there is such a law in the Principality of Winter:

——Beating a crazed werewolf to death is not considered a crime of homicide, but is treated as innocent.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this law.

Once a werewolf goes crazy, he will attack others like a frost beast - werewolves will attack cubs of other races first, followed by people of other races, then cubs of their own race, and finally other werewolves. Werewolves may attack anyone except their direct blood relatives.

The purpose is not to devour, but only to bite to death. Therefore, it is a very efficient attack.

Even a werewolf without a supernatural profession may even defeat a bronze-level combat-class extraordinary after going crazy.

According to research by scholars, this seems to be a racial ability acquired by werewolves in ancient times in order to compete with other races for resources and living space. Adult female werewolves who have finished lactation for a period of time, and young male werewolves who have not yet given birth to children and are in a certain period of spring are especially prone to entering a state of madness.

In order to protect yourself, you cannot hold back when fighting against the crazy werewolf.

So in order to ensure the safety of other races, this law is very necessary.

But the thing is... werewolves don't necessarily go crazy on the day of the full moon.

Some werewolves may not go mad once for several years, but some will go mad twice a month. The crazy werewolf is no different from usual except that it cannot speak or drink water.

It is more difficult to prove that a certain werewolf who was killed was not crazy than to prove innocence.

This special racial habit also makes it difficult for many villages to accept werewolves - especially underage male werewolves, who can only live in caves outside the small barrier... and live in the form of a werewolf tribe.

As for female werewolves, they are relatively safe if they are not pregnant and can stay within the small barrier. But once she becomes pregnant, she will also be kicked out of the place where she lives - after the lactation period, the female werewolf will go berserk almost once or twice a month until the child reaches the age of six or seven and is able to hunt independently.

The lifespan of a werewolf is very short, with an average of only thirty or forty years. A six-year-old werewolf is already about the size of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old human boy.

Logically speaking, Doreen, as a female werewolf, can live in the barrier as long as she doesn't get married... Learning some skills, finding a job as a female worker, or saving some money to go to adult college doesn't count. Particularly difficult.

But the problem is... Doreen's mother once went crazy in the village.

Her mother had a good personality, so she gained the trust of people in that village, and was even able to marry a human and have children - yes, Doreen is actually a half-werewolf.

No matter how good your character is, you can't resist your racial instinct.

Doreen's mother went mad twice.

But fortunately, Doreen's father is a transcendent and an idol wizard who graduated from the White Tower of the Wind.

He quickly suppressed Doreen's mother each time——

After that, Doreen did not go crazy again until she was five years old. Her father also gradually relaxed his guard.

——Until a woman from out of town, holding her child in her arms and asking for directions, knocked on their door at night.

When Doreen's father woke up, she had bitten the child to death and almost killed the child's mother.

Doreen's father hesitated for a long time.

He finally decided to help Doreen's mother deal with the traces and hide the body after the suppression.

Originally there was no problem.

But when little Doreen was playing in the yard the next day~IndoMTL.com~ she accidentally dug out the unprocessed body...

Since the attacker was not from the village, Doreen's mother was not beaten to death or reported by the villagers. But she had already killed someone, and the villagers couldn't accept living with her—the whole family was kicked out.

Somehow later, it was exposed that her father had illegally used magic and concealed his guilt for others.

Both Doreen's father and mother were wanted and captured by the Hand of Winter - Doreen's mother was to be imprisoned for twenty years, while her father was to be sentenced to three years of solitary labor.

Doreen was left alone.

Unlike other werewolves, her childhood life was so happy that she didn't even know "survival skills" - such as theft and robbery.

Later, she met her "teacher".

Specializes in training werewolf orphans and turning them into phantom thieves, mind thieves, spies, and killers...
