Chapter 38 The Most Important Frost Beast
"Meeting me here...is that part of the 'future' you see?"
Dmitri stared at Ghirlandaio and said bluntly.
He took off the cigar, and as his low and magnetic voice sounded, the smoke naturally wafted out of his mouth: "Ghirlandaio... Your Excellency?"
Hear Dmitry called.
Leona was startled and looked at Gillandaio in amazement.
She's not one of those low-level commoners who don't know about the supernatural world.
Now she has reacted:
Can be called "Your Excellency" by Dmitry, plus the word "future" without beginning and end... and the silver ring that looks rather complicated and originally thought to be decorative.
Could this be, which great wizard of the prophetic school?
"……Oh?"
Hearing Dmitry calling himself this, "Ghirlandaio" was obviously stunned for a moment.
But he did not reveal his identity directly.
Nor did he ask how Dmitri knew of himself.
Instead, he grinned with interest, showing a gentle and harmless smile: "I've never heard of your habit of smoking."
"Ah, I only got it in recent years. It's not a good habit."
Dmitry replied casually.
He stared at Gillandaio, and said slowly, "I still recommend that you clarify everything you need to say.
"Since you can see the future, you should also know why I am here."
"It's not very clear."
Gillandaio replied with a smile.
- Bullshit.
Dmitri didn't believe in the nonsense of this prophetic school of thought.
But he didn't dare to shoot at them at will.
they can see the future,
Never be troubled by any "accidents" or "trouble"... When they take the initiative to appear in front of people, either the layout has been arranged and it doesn't matter; Calculate.
Dmitry was a little irritable.
He got up and walked over to the wine cabinet and took out a small barrel of good wine. Sprinkle the silver coins into the shallow grooves where the wine is placed, the number of which is the same as that marked on the wine barrel.
This self-service tavern is a unique service building in Winter.
It looks like an ordinary house, but it never closes the door, and the door is covered with a thick black animal skin curtain - and there is no one inside, only a counter full of wine, a solitary lamp, and a bucket of free drinks like sauerkraut. Food and wine, and a small round table.
Winter is very cold, so winter people drink well.
Even in winter years when crops cannot be grown, the Duchy of Winter will buy a lot of wine and buy Noah's grain to make wine. There are also people going to the tavern, after all, it is very lively and there are hot meals. But the price of wine in the tavern is obviously much higher than the actual price... That's the money you make when you open a store.
Therefore, some people will prepare their own snacks and find a cheap private tavern to drink and chat with friends. If you don't have money, you can just take some sauerkraut and eat it, of course, there are some who drink it.
The owner of a private tavern usually runs multiple "shops" at the same time, and is usually responsible for replenishing goods, while he usually has other jobs.
Because the Winter people are worried that the boss will not be able to continue, or lose too much money, so they dare not not spend money... If there is spare money on hand, they will give a little more. Winter people are good-natured, and "wine thief" is even a dirty word in Winter. It has a comprehensive meaning of being poor and uneducated, and the adults in the family are dead.
Of course, if it is really a beggar who has no money and is about to freeze to death... It is also tacitly approved by people to go into the house and get the cheapest wine to warm up and survive.
After all, this year is not easy for everyone.
As the son of the grand duke, Dmitri would naturally not drink overlord wine. But his character is not the kind of person who will give more money.
He poured himself a glass of crimson liquor, glanced at Leona again, and poured her a glass. Then he poured a glass to Gillandaio without hesitation.
It's different from Leona's style of dragging Annan to drink.
Dmitri poured his drink and didn't even drink it, but took another sip of his cigar.
His cigar hadn't had time to burn before he took another sip, making it a bit bitter.
But this bitterness made him feel a little more spiritual.
...forget it, there's nothing to hide.
"You should have seen the convoy yesterday. The convoy transporting the frost beasts."
After getting an affirmative reply from Ghirlandaio, Dmitri continued in a low voice: "It stands to reason that they just passed by. This morning, they should set off for Frostwhisper."
Dmitry spewed out the smoke slowly.
He glanced at Leona.
"But this morning, they found that they lost a very important frost beast. Ordinarily that frost beast is also in the city now... I was near Razor Collar, so I rushed over immediately."
"A frost beast... Is it inappropriate for His Royal Highness Dmitri to find it in person?
"A very dangerous type?"
The first thing that "Ghirlandaio" thought of was the wolf belonging to Doreen.
But Doreen has acted as a mind thief not once or twice, ordinarily should not.
Moreover, it's just a frost beast...
Frost beasts are not rare in winter, they are everywhere in the wild. It is only after the initial domestication of the Winter family that they can get the "trained frost beast".
The precious ones are the tamed frost beasts.
Frost beasts that are uncontrolled and attack other creatures at will, I am afraid that only fur and blood can sell for some money. It wasn't anything particularly valuable...just a natural disaster.
Even a single frost beast is roughly equivalent to Noah's brown bear-level deterrent to hunters - anyway, they are all dead at close range, and their defense is quite high, so there is not much difference.
Considering that the small Frost Beast is more flexible, the threat is higher.
"If it's just an ordinary frost beast... I've seen it, whether it's a rabbit, a fox, or even a crow-shaped frost beast."
Dmitri glanced at Ghirlandaio and explained patiently:
"You should also know what the essence of the frost beast is."
"It was the beast who absorbed the curse of the grandmother's dragon breath."
Gillandaio nodded.
It's no secret.
Essentially, the "heart of winter" and the power that causes the Frost Beast to mutate, as well as the Frost Beast's ability to absorb the emotions of creatures, are many different manifestations of the same type of power.
"That's the problem."
Dmitri said slowly: "Man... is also an animal."
Hearing this, Gillandaio froze for a moment.
His pupils shrank slightly.
Noticing this detail, Dmitri suddenly felt a lot of relief in his heart - I didn't expect that you, god-given prophets, also have things that you don't know!
"To be precise, a werewolf.
"When she turned into a wolf, she was attacked in a coma in the wild. After waking up, she found that she had become a frost beast. But the problem is..."
Dmitri said slowly: "After she changed back to human form, she still holds all the special abilities of the frost beast. At the same time, she also regained her own reason. Her name is 'Soufflé', and she is the only humanoid frost beast at present. ...you understand? Her meaning.
"The main task of the team this time is to escort her to Frostwhisper. But just this morning, the team leader told me...he lost the soufflé.
"Then, Lord Gillandaio. Please tell me, when did you arrive at Razor Hill? When did you leave? What did you intend to do here?"
The man was biting a cigar, his voice was a little vague, his right arm stretched out from under the coat he was wearing, he held the wine glass and held it up to Ghirlandaio, and at the same time asked in a low voice, "Can you answer this question for me? brother?"
Gillandaio was stunned for a moment.
He chuckled lightly.
He also raised his glass and clinked with Dmitry.
"What's wrong with that... my brother."
Gillandaio narrowed his eyes and said with a half-smile.
