[Comprehensive British and American] The world painting style is not right

"Sherlock, do you think that girl looks very familiar?" Carol tiptoed and whispered in Sherlock's ear, "Her dress is very similar to Little Red Riding Hood in the Grimm's fairy tales."

"Did you come out of that hole?" The girl's eyes widened, and she pointed at the teleportation circle that had just disappeared, with an expression of disbelief.

"Yes, little sister." Carol smiled at her, "We are wizards, what's your name?"

"My name is Little Red Riding Hood..." The little girl suddenly covered her mouth after she finished speaking, and she thought that she should not talk to strangers, especially in the forest.

"Are you going to grandma's house?" Carol asked gently, and when she saw Little Red Riding Hood's shocked eyes, she nodded her head again and explained, "Believe me, I have the ability to predict."

Little Red Riding Hood timidly nodded, she thought that although the two people in front of her were dressed strangely, they didn't look like bad guys, she showed a bright smile.

"Oh." Carol was stunned for a few seconds, then looked at Little Red Riding Hood, "Have you ever seen a big bad wolf?"

This time Little Red Riding Hood completely trusted Carol, and she nodded her head in a hurry.Before Carol could continue speaking, she saw a hunter with an arrow on her back striding towards here. She squinted her eyes and had an idea in her mind.

"Your grandma is in danger now, the big bad wolf is going to eat her."

As soon as Carol finished speaking, Little Red Riding Hood panicked.Carol bent down to comfort Little Red Riding Hood, "I think this hunter can help you."

Carol glanced at Sherlock, who quickly understood what she meant.He stopped the hunter and explained some things with the hunter, and the hunter with a sense of justice quickly agreed.

So the hunter rushed to Little Red Riding Hood's grandmother's house with Little Red Riding Hood.

Carol nodded in satisfaction, but heard a very unpleasant voice beside her, "Carol Ann, do you have anything to do with the big bad wolf?"

Carol: ...

Carol turned her head and glared at Sherlock. Not all wolves can turn into humans. She is a werewolf. Werewolves are probably not unusual either.

"Sherlock, let's leave this forest and go to Green Town to take a look." Carol decided to start investigating from the people in the town. After all, if they are confused, if they go directly to the place where the werewolves live with half-orcs, the process will be inevitable. very difficult.

Sherlock nodded, and he also thought that the town of Green must be inextricably linked with the wolf clan.Mao rashly went to find out that he could do this, but now that there was one more person by his side, he hoped that everything could be done to ensure her safety.

This forest is very different from what I saw in the elves before. The sun is shining here, and flowers of different colors are blooming everywhere.The trees are lush and green, full of vitality, and little squirrels can be seen scurrying around on the road.

Carol smelled the fresh air and listened to the crisp chirping of the birds. Walking in such a place, she felt a lot more relaxed.And the road is not complicated, as long as you walk straight ahead, you can see the exit.

When they walked out of the forest, they met some talking and laughing pedestrians.There is a small town not far away, under the sun, it has a layer of pale golden light.

Sherlock and Carol looked at each other, it should be the legendary Green Town.They continued to walk, and walked over at a faster pace, but saw several soldiers and a long team at the gate of the city.

The two of them hid in the crowd first, but fortunately there were so many people here that no one noticed their existence.Carol pricked up her ears, listening to the conversation around her.

"Why is it strictly forbidden to enter and exit at the gate of the town?" a person who didn't know the truth asked.

"Don't you know? The mayor wants to investigate suspicious people!" The kind-hearted person explained, "I heard that there seems to be a serial killer absconding around, and he may have arrived in Green Town."

"..."

Sherlock apparently heard their conversation too, and he pulled Carol out of the crowd.Although they knew in their hearts that they had nothing to do with that "suspicious person", if they were involved in this matter, it would be troublesome to investigate the wolf clan.

"Sherlock, how should we get in?" Carol knew that as long as Sherlock was around, all problems could be solved.

Sherlock looked around and found that although the town was investigating suspicious persons, the security was not strict.For example, soldiers only patrol the entrance and exit of the town, but no one guards the corner of the city gate.

Probably because the walls were high enough that no one could get past the soldiers to the top of the walls.If the discreet serial killer really existed, he would be hiding in the town by now, waiting for his time.

Sherlock put his arms around Carol's shoulders and walked in the opposite direction as if nothing had happened.Carol was very cooperative and walked quietly, she thought to herself without saying a word, just follow Sherlock.

They returned to the previous forest entrance and found a more remote corner.Sherlock drew a teleportation circle, and Carol walked in without asking any further questions.After stepping into a room, she had a clear view of the environment inside.

There was a small bed in this room, a handful of pure white flowers in a vase on the table, and a wooden wardrobe against the wall.The door looked a little old, and the sunlight came in from the window and sprinkled in the small but cozy room.

"Where is this?" Carol looked at Sherlock curiously.

"Little Red Riding Hood's room," Sherlock explained again, "she's out now, so we'll assume her house is empty, and it's the perfect place to end up."

Carol suddenly realized, she took Sherlock's arm and walked out, "Let's go out quickly, if someone comes back suddenly, they will regard us as thieves."

"The one who is the thief is obviously Carol Ann." Sherlock raised his eyebrows, even though he said so, he let Carol grab his arm.He said no, but his body followed her honestly.

Carol didn't care to observe what was going on in Little Red Riding Hood's house. She just wanted to get out of here and walk to the street before Little Red Riding Hood came home.

They closed the door and walked out of Little Red Riding Hood's house without incident and meeting no one.Just when Carol was relieved and was about to find a place to live, she thought of a problem—the gold coins she picked up in the Lonely Mountain Cave seemed to have been used up.

"Sherlock..." Carol looked up at him and told him the truth with difficulty, "I don't have any gold coins anymore."

"I know." Sherlock didn't look anxious.

"Then where do we live and what do we eat?" Carol pursed her lips. She didn't even have a place to eat early in the morning. She knew that she would have asked the scar man for another serving of beef when she was at the Valley Inn.

"Follow me." Sherlock pulled her around to the back of Little Red Riding Hood's house, which happened to be the corner surrounded by the city wall. This passage was relatively narrow, so no one would pass through it.

Sherlock opened a small teleportation circle, and Carol could only see the shining gold inside, she blinked and asked, "Where is this?"

"The cave in the Lonely Mountain." Sherlock smiled, "Jianghu emergency."

Carol's eyes lit up, she leaned halfway in, reached out and grabbed a handful of gold coins and put them in her pocket.And her body was slightly larger, and she didn't fall into the hole, which is really strange.

Carol nodded in satisfaction, and when she retracted from the transmission circle, she realized that there seemed to be something holding her waist.Just as she was about to look down, a pair of hands quickly stretched back, almost causing her to fall to the ground.

Carol quickly stretched out her hand and pressed it against the wall behind her to stabilize her body.She gave Sherlock a resentful look, what's the matter with half helping people?

Sherlock pretended nothing happened, "Here, let's go."

Before Carol had time to reprimand him, Sherlock grabbed her wrist and walked out. He blocked her mouth with one sentence, "What do you want to eat?"

Walking to the street, the air is filled with the aroma of various foods.Carol's nose twitched, trying to distinguish, this is the smell of strawberry jam, this is freshly baked bread, even roast goose!

"I know your dog has a good nose, so don't smell it." Sherlock suddenly pinched Carol's nose, and Carol couldn't breathe for a while.She glared at Sherlock, and he let go and led her into a restaurant.

After they ordered their meals, fresh jams and slices of toast were quickly placed on the table.Carol smeared the toast with jam, but found that although Sherlock's eyes stayed on the toast, he seemed to be catching other people's conversations with his ears.

Carol listened as she stuffed the toast into her mouth.Almost everyone around is talking about the frightening serial killer in the legend.

From their conversation, Carol knew that it might be a non-human.In the area where Green Town is located, that is, in the southeast of Middle-earth, there are two races besides humans-wolves and half-orcs.

Carol chewed her food carefully, but her mind kept spinning.She always felt that this matter was a bit weird. Why did they encounter a murderer as soon as they came to Green Town?What's more, she has a relationship with the wolf clan. Will there really be her native family among the wolf clan?

Carol was in a daze, but saw Sherlock's slender fingers dangling in front of her, she trembled, and pulled back her mood.

"Let's find a better hotel to stay." Sherlock saw that Carol's mood was not right, his voice slowed down, and said softly, "Everything will have an answer."

Carol smiled and nodded, yes, as long as Sherlock is around, everything will be answered.

After they left the restaurant, they found a hotel with a lot of traffic nearby. No matter how aggressive the serial killer was, he would not run into such a place blatantly.

This time, they chose two rooms that were very close to each other. As long as Carol knocked on the wall, Sherlock could hear if there was any danger in her room.

After tossing all night and morning, Carol, who didn't sleep well, fell into a deep sleep as soon as she lay on the bed.When she woke up, it was already dark, and there was only a faint light coming in from the window in the room.

Carol got up and raised her wand to use the Illuminating Charm to illuminate the whole room.She stopped suddenly, because she could feel that besides her breathing, there seemed to be another person in this room.
