Winter Festival (II)

During dinner and before going to bed, the girls were always in a vague anxiety. People only thought they were worried about tomorrow night's Winter Festival dance. Who knew that they were desperately trying to forget the two flower crowns that were sunk in the stream.

However, their strangeness still attracted the attention of their father and brother, so Olga and Lesa received a gift that surprised them on this incidental night - the largest gem in the middle of a gorgeous necklace looks very much like emerald, but it is actually a rarer turquoise garnet - an emerald green variant with trace chromium in iron garnet. It has a semi-diamond luster and high dispersion (o is higher than diamonds) and the beautiful emerald green Madonna Mountains. The production is very low and the grain size is very small. It is already very good if the gems on this necklace have more than 10 carats.

"Brother, someone asked someone to cut his garnet..."

Olga murmured that such a large crystal clear garnet had not appeared again in nearly a century. The only source is that 25-pitch garnet on the decorative sword of Dongjia Da Gong. The princess put down the necklace in her hand symbolized loyalty. The green gem of friendship was still visible in her gauze skirt. People called the bright red garnet an uncoverable flame, while the garnet was like the eye of a ferocious beast that never closed. No wonder people once regarded them as protection stones for travelers, but its greatest function was to calm the mind and suppress mania and dispel melancholy.

"But what should I do with my brother? Where is the other half in Lesa?" Olga's care and love made her happy, but she became even more sleepy.

And in the room next to her, Lesa hesitated for a moment and put the necklace into the jewelry box.

She sat alone quietly for a while until her spirit was frozen by garnet became excited again. The girl's temple was jumping with rapid breathing and her skin was red. She slowly took off all her clothes and pulled out a complete wolf skin from under the mattress.

Lesa carefully draped her heavy fur on her body - a slight tingling sensation spread throughout the fur as if it was stuck tightly on her body and pulled her to slowly fall down - a few seconds later a tall tundra gray wolf appeared. ()

It turned around the room a few times and looked in the mirror and was obviously very satisfied with its current state.

The gray wolf jumped onto the windowsill quickly. The bright moon hung in front of the window. The cold wind was howling by. It looked at the low howling of the dark jungle below and jumped out of the window that was in the shadow. The sound of landing attracted a guard who searched carefully around him but nothing was seen except a few crushed plants. Perhaps it was some big beast. He thought and looked at the windowsill that were at least 10 feet above the ground. The tiger could not jump up, and the windows were dark and calm without any movement or shouting.

The guard curled his lips and walked away.

The gray wolf passed through the lake and forest. It ran indulged in the wasteland late at night. It liked the cold wind blew through the fur, its claws stepped into the soil, and then jumped up hard on the ground, feeling it fell to the ground. It was like biting the neck of the prey, drinking their blood, and gnawing on their flesh.

The depression brought by the failed divination was soon diluted by the pleasure brought by the degree. The gray wolf slowed down and finally stopped on a small earth bun. He raised his head and let out a long howl.

Behind the mythical veil is an irrefutable truth. Untenable superstition also contains some facts. It has become a distant legendary "Besak" family, although it has been destroyed for hundreds of years. But the blood left behind is still flowing wildly - including the Romanov family, the ruler of this land. Because Alexander once married a "Besak" woman - a member of the royal family is occasionally selected by this terrible poison. They will become anxious at dusk. If someone puts them on a complete wolf skin at this time, they can become wolves. Leave the room and wander around and attack humans and domestic animals. As recorded in a secret letter, "At the beginning of this madness attack, then at 2, it will become extremely violent; at night, it will rest in the solitary cemetery. () lives completely like a dog and a wolf."

Some people also say that this is a princess curse. After the expansion of Dongcali territory to a satisfactory size, Grand Duke Alexander became more and more disgusted with this bloodthirsty and irritable family. He not only killed his wife, but also slaughtered all the members of her family with poisonous wine and sulphur oil.

Only garnet can temporarily suspend this terrible***. But it always fails. The crown prince of Dongjia is considered moody because of this reason. When both instinct and reason are frantically fighting for control of the body, the only way he can do is to escape into a solid room and lock himself up.

But Lesa thought this ability was extremely wonderful - she knew what freedom was when she first wore a wolf's skin.

Running like a wolf, hunting and resting like a wolf, thinking and fighting like a wolf, but her original wisdom has not yet been extinguished. Like other Besacks, they can accomplish both what the body of the beast can do and what the human can do.

She doesn't understand her father and brother

Why do you regard this ability as if possessed by a devil?

This is a beautiful thing.

After a while, a larger black wolf appeared suddenly next to the gray wolf as if it had emerged from the night. Lesha was not surprised at its appearance. It was just that the thick bloody smell on the black wolf made Lesha wonder that it came forward and sniffed with concern... The black wolf pushed it away with its head.

Although there was no answer, Lesa just complained a few times and followed the instructions of the Black Wolf and ran with it.

All night they howled one after another and announced their arrival.

***A hare never jumped out of a place that he never thought of...a hare never jumped out of a gray wolf. (The Sardinian proverb means an unexpected joy)

Xude narrowed his eyes and just came back to get a document he had forgotten accidentally, but he didn't expect to see the cute and furry animal that escaped again. It looked less majestic than last time, and the big dog with fur was raised by the Nenets, specially used to pull sleds and take care of the deer herd. It is said that if conditions permit, the Nenets would use wolf meat to feed the weaned puppies.

These dogs who already know how to unite and cooperate in sledding patiently chased the gray wolf, and they did not rush forward to attack, but barked and notified their owners - Xude was also attracted by the barking of the dogs.

They slowly narrowed the encirclement like a pack of wolves and forced the gray wolf in front of a steep stone wall. The performance of the small animal, which was still fierce in Xude's impression, really wanted him to fail the test... In this case of being surrounded by three sides, it dared to turn around - its paws embedded in the cracks of bricks and climbed up for a few steps and then fell to the ground with a clang - its white and soft belly and throat were exposed. Xude didn't know if it knew how to tempt it could not compete with it. It seemed to have successfully tempted a big dog, and its mouth was wide and its sharp teeth was bitten to the most fragile and fatal place!

Olga whined and closed her eyes. She found that Lesa left her room. In the posture of a wolf, she could have waited for her sister to come back before she could advise her or tell her brother and father, but for some reason - it was like a demon constantly bewitching her in her ears - she imitated Lesa and put on wolves skin and followed her sister to leave the palace. Lesa was more flexible and agile than her. Several times along the way, she had to try to smell the residual smell in the air to distinguish directions before she could continue to follow the gray wolf in front.

She was almost about to catch up with Lesa, but she met a huge and hideous black wolf. Unprepared Olga was knocked away by it with one paw. She blew a lot on the ground in the air and finally turned dizzy and stood up with pain all over her body. The black wolf was gone for a long time, and the smell of blood left behind it was trembling. It was different from the time when humans. The wolf's sense of smell told it how sweet and fresh the blood was. It had to bite it fiercely to avoid enjoying the deer thrown by the black wolf on the ground. But the Nenets dogs chased after them indiscriminately and followed it and kept screaming and biting... There was no chance to explain.

However, even if it is eaten like a sekiro, it is the punishment she deserves. Now she can only pray to the Virgin Mary sincerely that the wolf skin must not fall off after death.

Let this body and the sin hidden by it be completely buried in the belly of the dogs.

***

Xude kicked the big dog that rushed forward with expressionless expression - it was quite timely. He didn't want to use gunfire to show that someone here would let the Nenets know that he was protecting a wolf that might be "Besak" for the second time, and he might tear him apart and feed the dog together with the wolf.

The big dogs bark even more powerfully. They know that they can't attack a human without their owner's orders, but they don't understand why a human should maintain a wolf.

Xude looked at the gray wolf curled up at his feet, and it was still lying up like before, with its belly facing up, its eyes closed and its ears tightly pressed back and forth on its head - two huh? The eldest son of Salieri, who was very likely to have gotten wrong, carefully reached out and pinched its loose neck and held it up like a big cat. He used one hand to hold a pistol with his safety in the other hand. Under the bright moonlight, he could clearly see that the gray wolf's ears began to flexibly stand up and turn around, and then opened his eyes more cautiously than Xude.

When it saw him, clear water droplets immediately gathered in its topaz eyes. They fell down and wet the gray-white fur... I cried without a sound at all. It seemed like a child who had suffered a lot of grievances - this made the ruthless Sardinian thugs cold on his back and numb with scalp - humans usually react to what is too incredible.

The swaying torches and the unique loud voices of the Nenets are surrounding here.

No matter what... I have to get out of here as soon as possible - with this gray wolf that looks like a scared kitten anywhere except for the weight and appearance. Xu De thought.

He called Yalix. (To be continued)
