Doreen folded her knees in her hands, crouching in the corner of the room in fear.

The frost beast she had brought with her was crouching in front of her, staring at her intensely.

It's already full - at least for two days it won't actively attack others out of appetite.

As a mind thief, Doreen is well aware of this.

But her fear was not because the frostbeast was staring at her......

but because of His Excellency "Gilandaio".

- How could a wealthy merchant from Noah have the technology to tame the frost beast in an instant?

And how could Doreen, a wandering werewolf, subdue a tamed frost beast?

If she had a tamed frost beast and sold it directly, it would be enough for her to eat, drink, and enjoy a happy life for more than ten years...... How could she need to use "swindlers and missionaries" to lure passers-by and risk stealing people's hearts?

Her frost beast had never been tamed at all.

It's just that Doreen takes it to "eat a few meals" that it doesn't prioritize Doreen when it's not particularly hungry.

Her relationship with the frost beast was more appropriate and appropriate to call it "cooperation".

But such a frost beast was instantly tamed in front of His Excellency "Gilandaio......

No doubt.

This Lord "Gilandaio" must have the blood of winter!

Even if he disguised himself as a wealthy merchant from Noah, he couldn't hide this power. If any transcendent person could tame the frost beast, the frost beast would not be a disaster.

To be able to tame the frost beast, even if it is not Grand Duke Ivan, it must be within two generations of the blood of Grand Duke Ivan...... That's undoubtedly a great big shot.

If she followed the original trajectory of her life, Doreen would never have met such a big man in her life.

But why did ...... "Giranda Io" choose to hide his identity and go around from Noah to the dead of winter?

Doreen didn't dare to guess, and she didn't dare to ask.

You can only throw all the pots to the teacher.

She always felt as if she had accidentally been involved in a conspiracy involving the highest echelons of the principality......

Just being glanced at by Lord Girlandaio, Doreen was so nervous that her back straightened and her palms sweated.

Now she wants to run away very much, just waiting for the sentence "You can leave", but she doesn't dare to run away without permission.

lest it be revealed that he had guessed the true identity of Ghirlandao.

She wouldn't have any curiosity she shouldn't have, and she wouldn't ask about anything.

Doreen knows very well -

The less you know, the safer you are.

Not to mention......

“…… I'm just a werewolf. ”

She buried her head in her knees and muttered under her breath.

Werewolves are not treated well by the Winter Ones. Only dwarves who are equally good at drinking, have a strong labor force, and don't like to eat meat, can mingle with the Winters in the resource-poor Duchy...... Towards the full moon, werewolves who occasionally go berserk and lose their minds are not trusted by the populace.

It can even be said that werewolves are discriminated against by other races.

Of course, werewolves are also citizens of the Duchy of Winter. In the Principality of Winter, anyone who is a minor, a disabled person, or a person with a serious illness, or who works for more than one month in exchange for a month, is a citizen protected by law.

People who do not work without illness or disaster when they become adults are not protected by the laws of the Duchy of Winter.

But here's the problem...... Unless they are really capable, werewolves will basically not be able to find a job.

At the same time, there is such a law in the Duchy of Winter:

- Killing a mad werewolf is not counted as homicide, but as innocence.

There is nothing inherently wrong with this law.

Once a werewolf goes berserk, it will attack others like a frost beast - werewolves will attack the cubs of other races first, followed by people of other races, then the cubs of their own race, and finally other werewolves. Werewolves can attack anything but their own direct blood relatives.

The purpose is not to devour, but simply to bite to death. Hence the attack with a fairly high killing efficiency.

And even a werewolf who doesn't have a transcendent profession may even defeat a bronze-level combat transcendent after going berserk.

According to scholars' research, this seems to be the racial ability obtained by werewolves in ancient times in order to compete with other races for resources and living space. Adult she-werewolves some time after the end of lactation, as well as young male werewolves who have not yet given birth and are at some point in the spring, are particularly prone to a state of madness.

In order to protect himself, he can't keep his hands when fighting the mad werewolves.

So in order to ensure the safety of other races, this law is very necessary.

But here's the problem...... Werewolves don't necessarily go berserk on the day of the full moon.

Some werewolves may not go crazy once in a few years, but some werewolves go berserk twice a month. The crazy werewolf is no different from usual, except that he can't talk or drink.

It is more difficult to prove that a certain killed werewolf did not go berserk than to prove his innocence.

This peculiar racial habit also makes it difficult for many villages to accept werewolves, especially underage male werewolves, who can only live in caves outside the small barrier...... Live as a werewolf tribe.

As for female werewolves, they are relatively safe when they are not pregnant, and can stay in the enchantment. But once pregnant, they are also driven out of their place of residence - after the lactation period is over, the she-werewolf will go berserk almost once or twice a month, and will continue until the child is six or seven years old and able to hunt independently.

Werewolves have a very short lifespan, averaging only thirty or forty years. A six-year-old werewolf is already about the size of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old human teenager.

It stands to reason that Doreen, as a female werewolf, can live within the barrier as long as she doesn't get married...... It's not particularly difficult to learn a trade, get a job as a female worker, or save some money to go to adult college.

But here's the problem...... Doreen's mother, who had gone berserk in the village.

Her mother had a good personality and was trusted by the people of the village, even marrying humans and having children - yes, Doreen was a half-werewolf.

But no matter how good his personality is, he can't resist the racial instinct.

Doreen's mother went berserk twice.

But fortunately, Doreen's father is a transcendent, and an idol wizard who graduated from the White Tower of the Wind.

He quickly suppressed Doreen's mother each time—

After that, until Doreen was five years old, she didn't go crazy again. Her father gradually let his guard down.

- until a woman from other places who asked for directions with a child in her arms knocked on their door at night.

By the time Doreen's father woke up, she had already bitten the child to death, and was about to bite the child's mother to death.

Doreen's father hesitated for a long time.

He finally decides that after the crackdown, he chooses to help Doreen's mother dispose of the traces and hide the body.

Originally, there was no problem.

But when little Doreen was playing in the yard the next day, she inadvertently dug out the body that had not yet been disposed of......

Nian was not attacked by the villagers, and Doreen's mother was not killed or reported by the villagers. But she had already killed someone, and the villagers couldn't accept living with her – the whole family had been kicked out.

Later, for some reason, her father's illegal use of spells and hiding the guilt for others were exposed.

Doreen's father and mother were both wanted and captured by the Winter Hand - Doreen's mother was to be imprisoned for twenty years, while her father was to be sentenced to three years of confinement and labor.

Doreen became alone.

Unlike other werewolves, she had such a happy childhood that she didn't even know the "survival skills" of theft and robbery.

Later, she met her "teacher".

Specializing in cultivating werewolf orphans, turning them into monster thieves, mind thieves, spies, and killers......
