Chapter 291: Chapter 191: The Deadly Wolf Poison_1

After the pack of wolfmen retreated, seven corpses were left on the ground. Three were killed by Ivita’s water dragon soldiers, one was killed by Kristin, and the remaining three included two wolfmen whose heads were severed by other hunters using their small hunting daggers. One wolfman died in a rather unjust manner; it accidentally hurt itself on a silver hairpin while trying to devour a young noblewoman.

Realizing that the wolfmen were vulnerable to silver, the knights embedded the silver hairpin deep into the creature’s heart to protect the girl, which resulted in its death.

The chairman looked grim. The party was definitely ruined, and there were many bodies of nobles on his premises now.

No matter how many words he could muster, explanations were beyond hope. He had no idea how many noble families and prominent city households would hold grudges against him, and how many useful connections and lifelong friendships would be lost as a result.

He immediately summoned his steward, ordered him to send out all their household staff to deal with the noble corpses, ensure their protection, and inform their families.

Kristin and Ivita approached.

The chairman, his scalp tingling, complained to Kristin, "I hired Ambros’s best hunter, but things still turned out this way."

"Ah, it seems mercenaries are unreliable after all. I have to rely on myself. It’s all my fault."

"This..."

Knowing she was in the wrong, Kristin replied, "I should apologize, but, ultimately, the wolfmen entered the party with Baron Taketick’s people. My people couldn’t thoroughly check these privileged nobles, letting the wolfmen bypass the checks and penetrate into the city center."

Having found a target for his irritation, the chairman ordered the remaining soldiers, "Go and arrest those people from the Taketick family, now!"

The soldiers quickly rushed off, only to return soon after to apologize to the chairman, as Baron Taketick had already made a run for it.

All they could arrest were the Taketick family’s servants and cooks.

These people were insignificant, incapable of bearing the dreadful consequences of the wolfman attack on the party.

This left the chairman looking positively ashen.

He desperately needed a scapegoat now.

Everyone else might have survived this ordeal, but he was still in the middle of the crisis, living in fear day by day.

Ivita, standing next to Kristin, had observed the chairman’s anxious and flustered state, and he couldn’t help reminding him, "Sir, while the loss is indeed great and regrettable, I believe you should inform the city’s guards to increase their patrols at night to prevent any escaped wolfmen from attacking the civilians, and to investigate whether there are still wolfmen hiding in the city."

The chairman was momentarily stunned, then recovered and thanked Ivita, "Thank you for your suggestion, Mr. Ivita."

He gratefully glanced at Ivita, then quickly turned to call for soldiers to inform the city guard.

Kristin glanced at Ivita, then said to the chairman, "It’s best if you can get everyone in the city to donate silverware and gather Monkshood for free in the next few days. The city now has a wolfman problem."

"I suggest scattering Monkshood seeds in the desolate land around the city. Let this plant spread throughout the nearby muddy ground. It will effectively limit the wolfman menace..."

The chairman also took in Kristin’s suggestions and, in front of them, immediately started to assign people to carry them out.

His priority was to collect as much silverware as possible to protect the city from another wolfman attack.

Because it had been proven that the wolfmen’s extraordinary healing abilities were anything but ordinary. Without silver, they could only be overwhelmed with superior force.

But the venom from the wolfmen’s poisonous fangs was deadly.

The slightest error and even the strongest individual could be fatally bitten.

So, without silver or Monkshood, dealing with wolfmen would be very difficult.

Seeing the chairman busying himself, Ivita remained puzzled as to why a witch was among the wolf pack, but decided it was none of his business.

The Alpha Wolf, hit by his own combined magic, was temporarily out of commission and by the time he recovered, he would have long gone from here.

Ivita was waiting for the Ice Witch, who had again gone missing.

He decided if the Ice Witch was still not found by tomorrow morning, he would return directly to his own territory. After all, his mission was already accomplished.

Speaking of which, Ivita was actually looking forward to Boots Cat moving to the castle in his territory.

Suddenly, a scream of agony drew Ivita’s attention.

Ivita saw a knight, who had been fighting with the Alpha Wolfman earlier, now kneeling on the ground, uttering painful screams.

His servants and the knight attendant, who had lost his right arm, were surrounding the knight, their faces filled with despair at the arrival of misfortune, appearing utterly helpless.

Kristin looked in the direction Ivita was looking, then turned to face Ivita, a youth about her age, and said, "Do you see it? This is the good work of those Wolfmen. The wolf’s poison is incurable. Another good person is about to die."

"Is it fair? How fair."

"Because the Wolfmen hunt humans, hunters hunt Wolfmen. Hunters are like scissors, removing all the obstacles that hinder humans." There was a deep hatred in Kristin’s words, the source of her strength as a Wolfman Hunter.

Kristin clenched her teeth, "If we don’t kill the ancestor of the Black Bearman and let him create more new Black Bearmen, there will be one more new kind of monster in this world."

Ivita shook his head disapprovingly, "Maximilian hasn’t done anything."

"We cannot sentence him for his terrible crimes before he commits them."

"Kristin, hatred can make a person blind, believe me —— when you let go of hatred, perhaps you will see some new scenes in your eyes."

Kristin took a deep look at Ivita, then said word by word, "It seems we are not on the same side."

"I rarely meet peers who are as strong as me."

"I thought we could become good friends."

"What a pity."

"This time you helped me deal with the Wolfman, at least you helped regain some of the hunters’ reputation. If you need my help in the future, I will help you."

"Goodbye."

After that, she walked away.

Ivita thought for a moment, then said to her, "It’s possible to be friends even if we’re not on the same side."

Kristin turned around with a smile, and left without a care in the world.

Ivita gave her one last look, then walked over to the knight who had been bitten by the Wolfman. The knight’s servants quickly made way for him.

A maid said, "Sir, you can see how good our master is, why should he suffer such a misfortune."

Ivita saw that the bite mark on the knight’s shoulder was oozing black pus, the old knight’s face twisted in pain, and even the extraordinary immunity brought by the Extraordinary Heart was unable to resist the wolf’s poison.

Was it really as Kristin said, without the blood of the Alpha Wolf, there was no solution to the wolf’s poison?

As Ivita was about to speak, he saw Kristin returning.

However, her face was filled with evil Qi, her expression stern, she glared at the knight attendant who had lost his right hand, saying, "I almost forgot one thing, your arm was wounded by the Alpha Wolfman, right?"
