I entered the game in advance and found that I was invincible

Are you calling your team over?
This is no longer possible.

They are now in a completely different dimension, having traveled through time and space.

It is impossible to use the Summon Armor, nor is it possible to use any pull stones until he is out of the ground.The silver crown on his head has disappeared, the ring of unity has no effect, and he can't even communicate with them.

Of course, I never intended to take them with me.

Their numbers had been reduced to just four, and they hadn't reached the point where they could help him anyway.

Let them go back to the canyon, where they can influence the outcome.

If you continue to be trapped in this world, you will be in trouble.

I just need to be back before the Battle of the Canyon is over.

Well, you've conquered every other area.

Everything before can be considered a simple appetizer, and this is the main course.

Compared with the Tower of Twilight, the temples of the Banshee and the Naga are simply not in the same breath.

One of the few Sites that has never been conquered, even in his last 40 years.

Due to the restriction that it can only be entered in the canyon battle stage, the Tower of Twilight has always been rated as the most difficult site.

These are the challenges that Long Xiangtian, as a returnee, must overcome if he wants to reach new heights.

Let's put aside the thoughts about the Battle of the Canyon.

Hong Yuri will try to keep the balance.

Because the opposing faction has already suffered a lot of losses, as long as she wants, she can single-handedly press forward and destroy their guardian stone.Thinking of the team he left behind, Long Xiangtian speeded up because he found a village in the distance.

Long Xiangtian and Refina are currently thawing their bodies in a warm tavern.It's a small town, so it's the best place to gather intel.

The sun had already set, and the men at the end of the day gathered for drinks, and there were many conversations he could hear.

Monster sightings around the North Gate have started to increase.

Maybe it has something to do with the winter, maybe the soldiers of the kingdom are just flustered for nothing.

Nothing seemed to interest him.Mostly he heard stories of hunters and their encounters with monsters.

My lord, some of them seem to look at us strangely.

Although Lefina was indoors, she still covered her face, the two of them were outsiders.Even if they've kept their identities the whole time, it's bound to attract attention.

It's okay, if there's anything I'll take care of it.

He was lucky and managed to snatch a wallet on the way here.Although not much, at least it should be enough to open a room tonight.

Before receiving the assignment, they should proceed with caution.

Hey hello, this is the first time I see you in this place, where are you from?
A drunken blond man came over to talk to Long Xiangtian.From his appearance, he is also a hunter.

The reason why Long Xiangtian answered his question was because he might be useful.

From afar, maybe you can help me?
If you have any questions, just ask.My name is Robert. I am a local. I know everything. What are you interested in?

Robert pulled up a chair and sat down, then pointed to his empty glass, which he put on the table.

The meaning is obvious, if he wants to get his own problems, he needs to pay off the man's drink bill first.

Long Xiangtian nodded and replied, he ordered a glass of beer for him.

What's the hottest topic in town lately?
Popular Well, there are quite a few, but if I had to pick one, it would be this thread about werewolves in town, right?
Robert turned around and asked a hunter sitting nearby, and said angrily after he confirmed.

Werewolf?

Werewolves are generally nocturnal, and there are rumors that in winter, if they manage to find prey, they may even attack human settlements.

After Robert took the beer glass, he continued his story about the werewolf.

A few days ago, a homicide occurred in a nearby village, and the doctor found that it was committed by a large beast.

On the night of the incident, many villagers confirmed that they heard the howling of werewolves, and even their chickens disappeared.

Although they made a thorough search, all they found was a series of wolf footprints in the snow.

Surprisingly, there is only one pair of footprints, that is to say, it walks on two feet, half human and half wolf.

Are you ready for countermeasures?
It is a pity that Baron Berning was bedridden because of illness.Also, the issue of wildlife has always been a problem in these places, but this time is definitely a special case.

It seems the lord didn't investigate much, as it might just be a rumor.

Just as he was thinking about how to continue, a white text appeared in front of him.

new task】.

name.Get to the bottom of the rumors.

Type Type: General

content.Investigate the nocturnal murders in Benin Baron Village and minimize their losses.

Reward content: .Depends on contribution and results.

other.The time limit is (3 days), and once you fail, you cannot redo it.

Arrived as scheduled.

It seems that there are many restrictions, but this is a task that he must succeed in order to enter the next level.

Long Xiangtian felt that he had to learn more from Robert.

I want to hear some more, so let me buy you another drink.

Really?I have nothing to complain about!

Robert smiled and continued.

***
When he sat down on the bed in the inn, Long Xiangtian sorted out what he learned from Robert in his mind.

Legends about werewolves

Witness testimony
Unusual activity of monsters

The missing hunter.

Although he didn't know what all this meant, at least he knew how to proceed.

Sir, what kind of food is this?
This is combat ration, which is usually given to soldiers.

They didn't have enough coins to get anything back in the tavern, because they had to buy some beers for Robert.

Lefina, who was busy eating beef flounder with a spoon, looked up at Long Xiangtian in surprise.

Is this really what you soldiers eat?better than i thought
"."

Lifina's taste buds are not the taste buds of ordinary nobles at all.

Long Xiangtian watched her eat with gusto, and sighed.

Fina you will never change.

Hehe, what does this mean?
Oh, forget it.

They weren't close enough that he could tell her everything.Their current relationship is only superficial compared to the deep friendship they have forged over 40 years of adventure together.

Even if they will live together in the future, it will take some time to break down the barriers in their hearts.

Adults seem to know me well.

Don't you like me calling you that nickname?

Fina I don't hate
Lyfina blushed, and she hesitated to answer.

Long Xiangtian replied as if he understood her thoughts.

You must be very embarrassed to be in the same room.

If it is the will of the Lord, then I will not refuse.

Lately Lefina has been reading romantic literature, about passionate love between men and women.She misunderstood, and he was not surprised.

Long Xiangtian couldn't help laughing, because he had experienced similar situations with her in the past.

Don't worry, I have no intention of touching your body.

"."

I know there must be a reason for you to choose to work under me, and I will try my best to help you achieve it when the time comes.I just ask that you be by my side when I need you most.

So be it, at least for now.

Lefina's expression became complicated.

lord i
You don't need to explain anything.

After all, he knew her as well as she knew herself.

When the two of them had finished their meal, the howling of wolves sounded in the night.

Quick, there it is.

It's late at night, so not many people come out on the street.

When they came out of the inn, they saw several people holding torches and chatting with each other.

Robert is dead.

Oh, my dear lord.
The attack had happened, and the werewolves were long gone.

What happened?

Robert was attacked while drunk, he was out of luck.

From the way he heard them talking, there were no witnesses this time.

While the guards were searching, Long Xiangtian walked to Robert's body.

The wound had been inflicted by a sharp nail, and judging from the fresh fingerprints left on the snow, it was definitely the work of a werewolf.

Looks like it's coming for the blood.

It's not just hunting to satisfy hunger, it's indiscriminate attacking.It's also possible that it lost sight of its victims due to its madness.

Is there something behind all this?
Well, here's what I'm trying to figure out.

He only has 3 days to find out the truth.What's more, the canyon battle is still going on, so he must finish it as soon as possible.

Long Xiangtian pushed his perception to the maximum, and he walked along the traces of the footprints.Due to the blowing of the wind, the footprints have disappeared, and the forest has lost its trace.

The search and rescue team was dispatched overnight, but no trace of the werewolf was found.

The next day a gloom hung in the air of the village.

It is not known when the beast will strike next.

Realizing that the security guards in the village were on alert, Long Xiangtian and Lefina decided to visit the guard Ralph.

Have you reported the situation to your adults?
Yes, I just reported it.

According to what Robert said last night, it is not Baron Behring who is now acting as the lord, but his second son Jeremy.

Because his eldest son Charles has been missing since the hunting party set off a week ago.

Although daughter Jenna is one year older than Jeremy, she cannot inherit because she is a woman.

There must be a conspiracy behind all this.

While he doesn't know any details, it sounds like it could be a dispute over the succession to the barony.

The problem is finding out how this relates to werewolves.Only by discovering this will he be one step closer to uncovering the truth.

What are you going to do now?If you want to stay in town, we could definitely use your help.

Of course we would like to help with the investigation.

Yes, we really appreciate your assistance.

Well, I have some conditions.

He asked for three days of board and lodging, as well as some information.As the request was very reasonable, Ralph happily complied.

That's no problem, if you need anything else, just ask.

After a brief discussion, Long Xiangtian and Refina joined the guards.It's all about learning more about the surroundings and hearing some of their stories.

While continuing to search in the woods, I heard the sound of horseshoes hitting the ground, and soon a carriage appeared.

It's the lord's carriage!

is jeremy here
The members of the guard bowed their heads quickly.Soon, a sofa youth came out.

Are you all residents of Roden Village?
Yes, my lord.

Ralph then briefed Jeremy on what had happened last night.

Pausing to reflect, Jeremy quickly drew his longsword.

My father is very ill and I don't want any problems at this time.I'll stay and resolve the situation myself.

Seeing the confidence on Jeremy's face, Long Xiangtian's eyes lit up.

A man with a thirst for power.

He has also reached this age, and in order to achieve their goals, they will do whatever it takes.

At least one suspect.

He almost certainly had some connection to it all.

When Long Xiangtian came to this conclusion, he followed Jeremy and his guards silently.

***
Although Jeremy mobilized all the soldiers he brought, they found nothing.

The same is true for Long Xiangtian.

He pushed his perception to the max, and didn't feel anything werewolf-related.

As the sun went down, he felt the need to have a chat with Jeremy.

Why do you ask how my brother disappeared?
This may help us solve the current problem.

The timing of Charles' disappearance and the werewolf's appearance is too close to be a coincidence.

Jeremy hesitated, then, with a look of resignation, told his guards to leave them.

stand back a little.

Yes, my lord.

When Lefina, who had been sitting next to Long Xiangtian, also left, Jeremy finally turned his gaze to him with a serious face.

What I am about to tell you, you cannot repeat.This is about my family's honor.

I'll take your secret to my grave.

Long Xiangtian gained Jeremy's trust because of his ability to clear monsters during the day.

That's the only reason he's ever considered opening up his family.

They sat facing each other, and Long Xiangtian listened carefully to Jeremy's story.While this is a rather long story, it can be summed up like this.

Baron Belling was angry when he learned about it.

And Charles ran away to avoid any punishment.

At least on the surface, this has nothing to do with their werewolf problem.

So, is Charles still alive?
possible.In order to rescue his sister who was locked in the house, he may even join forces with some dubious people.

Now that the Baron's condition has worsened, he may find an opportunity to take advantage of it.Use the werewolf to distract everyone before hitting his real purpose.

If you help me, I will definitely reward you handsomely.

Now he wants to send a hunter to kill Charles. The reason why he came out so openly is to serve as a bait. He feels that Charles will not miss such an opportunity.

The preparations for returning to the manor are likely to be completed, so he only needs Long Xiangtian's help in hunting down the werewolf.

It's not a problem, I'll definitely do my best.

That's if what he told him was true.He has decided to accept Jeremy's one-sidedness, he doesn't care about the nobleman's love affair at all.

It is important to get to the root of it all, and to expose and eliminate its perpetrators.

There was a wolf howl in the night as Jeremy signaled to his guards to go back.

Werewolf!

fast!
The hunters took up arms, and they ran to the source of the commotion.I saw a big werewolf biting a fallen villager.

monster!

We've got you!

Shoot arrows into the werewolf's fur.While screaming in pain, it rushed towards the hunter angrily.

Ah!
Help!
Its claws quickly tore those poor souls to shreds.

Long Xiangtian quickly shortened the distance by using the teleportation function of the Naga leader's ring.

Charn!
Grandia collided with the beast's claw, and sparks flew out.The eyes of the two killers met.

Just who are you?
grr
The werewolf didn't answer, but turned his back on him and fled into the woods.However, Long Xiangtian did not intend to let it escape.Even if he wasn't fast enough to catch it, at least he had a new lead to follow.

He didn't want to stay in the town passively, waiting for the clues to come directly to him.Even if this is unreasonable, he also wants to shorten the completion time of the task as much as possible.

While tracking, Long Xiangtian recalled their brief encounter.

This is no ordinary werewolf.

If it was someone who was cursed, or signed a contract with the devil, his perception should be able to find some traces of mana.

Either way, it's sure to be an important lead.

Not sure where you're going.

Something seems to be controlling the werewolf's behavior, which means it's being used for a specific purpose.If he had followed its trail all the way, there must have been important clues.

After running for a while in the snow-covered forest, he saw a manor in the distance.

Judging by its size, it was almost certainly the residence of Baron Behring.

So where is it going?

If Jeremy's story is true, there's only one reason why the werewolf would have traveled there.

In order to rescue Jenna who was locked in her room.

Still, he didn't understand why it made him follow its tracks.Of course, this will be a major obstacle to those who control the werewolves behind the scenes.

Something is not right.

The identity of the werewolf seems to be more important than he initially assumed.

When the werewolf jumped over the wall and rushed into the manor, Long Xiangtian took the time to evaluate the situation.

There were no guards in sight, so the hunters Jeremy would have hired for the ambush must have been lying inside waiting.

Why nothing happened?

With his men, he was combing the forest looking for the beast.

For some reason, it gave him an ominous feeling.

Long Xiangtian ordered Lefina to quickly put on the banshee's veil, and they walked into the manor.

Must have passed by here.

There was a bloody smell inside.The bodies scattered on the floor were still warm, so the attack could only have happened a few minutes earlier.

As he walked up the stairs, there he felt a dark, viscous energy.

As expected.

There is an abyss demon behind all of this.Someone behind this must have signed the contract.
Turn yourself in, your role in this conspiracy has been exposed.
