Chapter 35: Chapter 35 Half Ghost Beast

Chapter 35 -35 Half Ghost Beast

“The Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound is not worth curing, perhaps Lord Baron could make a move and Mr. Ross could help to drive away the influence of the Snow Demon.”

Charles, sipping his tea, detailed the situation of the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound to Russell: “But even if we were to successfully eliminate the interference, at best the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound would only revert to being a common wild beast. It’s highly unlikely to evolve into a Fantasy Beast, so it’s a loss not worth the gain.”

“We should at least give it a try, should we not?”

“Sir, what I mean is that a gesture on your part would be sufficient,” Charles said with a smile, “There’s no need to bother Lord Baron with this matter. Earning the favor of the Wildcat Sisters alone is good enough. When we deal with Lone Wolf Lisbon, the Wildcat Sisters could also lend us some assistance.”

Charles’s words were very pragmatic, but also the most advantageous choice.

Russell was noncommittal, harboring his own thoughts, so he simply asked the butler Tom to bring the chessboard, proceeding to play several games with Charles.

“Aren’t you going to rest?” Charles asked with a yawn.

“I’m not in a hurry. I want to see what the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound looks like first,” Russell said as he began setting up the chess pieces, determined to play until late into the night.

“Alright then,” Charles said, rubbing his eyes, having no choice but to stay up late with Russell.

At two in the morning, Eric returned with the Knight Attendants, a carriage behind them carrying the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound brought out by the Wildcat Sisters.

“What kind of Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound is this?”

Russell asked, looking at the dying creature on the carriage.

This Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound resembled a wolf-dog in appearance, but its body was covered with huge tumors, which made it look incredibly ugly. Even on its head, several enormous tumors had sprouted, forcing its eyelids shut so that it could only emit feeble whimpering sounds.

Having already studied it on the way, Eric said, “It’s a common wolf-dog, probably a mix of sled dog and hunting dog breeds—a mutt.”

“Hmm.” Russell nodded, not wanting to look at the wolf-dog any longer.

The oversized tumors were truly nauseating, but still, he patiently partnered with Eric for a thorough examination of the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound.

One could feel two invisible forces clashing within the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound.

One-half originated from the power of the earth, the other half from the Snow Demon’s interference, intangible yet constantly eroding its body.

“It won’t live for many days without treatment,” Eric stated.

“Do you have a way to treat it?”

“No.”

“Mr. Charles?”

“I’m sorry, Sir, unless Lord Baron could persuade Mr. Ross, there might be a slim hope to save this poor dog. Other than that, I can’t think of any other way,” Charles remarked with a tsk, appearing to commiserate, yet actually indifferent.

After a short discussion, no viable solutions were found, so they could only arrange for the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound to be temporarily housed in the kennel outside the manor’s secondary house.

The kennel had long been abandoned and used as a storage room.

Butler Morris and his servants bustled about for a while before they could clear out the kennel and make it a temporary shelter for the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound.

“Sir, would you need the servants to watch over it at night?” asked Butler Morris.

“No need, let them rest as usual. Oh, it’s already so late. Tell the servants they can sleep in an hour later tomorrow, and the same goes for the kitchen staff.”

“Sir, you are truly kind-hearted.”

To Russell, it was just an offhand remark, but to the servants, it was an act of generous kindness. The standards for a noble lord indeed seemed very low.

…

Within the Echo Water River Cavern, a dry and cozy cavern was decorated to feel like home, though small in size.

A small campfire burned, illuminating the entire cavernous room.

“Sister, do you think that newly adult lord will really ask for the Baron’s help and then save Kevin?” Catherine asked, frowning. Two deep and long wrinkles made her look like a forty-year-old woman.

In reality, she was only in her twenties.

Katie, sitting on the other side of the fire, appeared significantly younger—under thirty but looking more like she was in her mid-thirties.

“I don’t know.”

“You don’t know?” Catherine was speechless, “You don’t know, yet you still asked me to deliver the letter, and then even sent Kevin over. If Kevin is killed and eaten by them… Sister, that’s truly cruel. Kevin has been with us like family all these years!”

“I know.”

“Now you know again?”

“How are you speaking to your sister, Catherine?” Katie raised her head, looking sternly at her younger sister, “Regardless, let Kevin guard us, the Wildcat Sisters, one last time… If Kevin is killed, then let go of all fantasies and completely side with Boss Lone Wolf.”

Catherine asked, “What if he’s not killed?”

“Then it means that at least Russell is a lord who keeps his promises… Catherine, life in the cavern is too dark. If there’s a chance, I hope to see the light again… My life has come to this, but I hope you can, under the sunlight… get married, have children…”

“Sister…”

“You’ve always fantasized about manor life too, haven’t you?”

“But we’re free now, aren’t we? Boss Lone Wolf may be domineering, but we’re not afraid of him. We can always avoid him!” Catherine rationalized.

Then she clenched her teeth and said, “Although Russell is handsome, he’s not gentlemanly at all… I was slapped by him several times!”

“It’s because you were caught red-handed.”

“I was just trying to stuff a letter through the window crack and take a look outside to see what this lord looked like. Who knew…” Catherine still couldn’t understand how she, who had always moved freely around the manor, got caught that night.

With a heavy sigh, Katie said, “Let it be… Lisbon has forgotten his identity as a lowly commoner and has started playing with fire… Just watch. Sooner or later, he will get burned. Baron Youguang will not tolerate a commoner causing trouble around his territory!”

Catherine suddenly asked in a low voice, “Sister, did Boss Lone Wolf really find a Mushroom Bug?”

“Who knows.”

“It must be true; otherwise, he wouldn’t be so arrogant. Tsk tsk, if Baron Youguang hears this news…”

At that moment, the campfire went out.

Katie clapped her hands, “Alright, sisterly heart-to-heart is over. Let’s sleep, Catherine. We don’t have much food left, and tomorrow we’ll still need to gather mushrooms and moss.”

Meanwhile.

In the manor’s separate courtyard, Russell once again entered Gloomy Dreamland and along with a “ga” cry, Little Dream Dragon arrived as expected.

“Come here, Ice Cream. Today I might need your help.” Russell called.

A human and a dragon, two cartoon characters, quickly took flight and illuminated the Magic Light in Gloomy Dreamland.

Russell almost immediately spotted the kennel location, where a blue and a white light entwined dimly together.

“Let’s go!”

“Ga!”

Little Dream Dragon carried Russell to the side of the kennel. He could clearly see the blue and white lights entangle each other, then shaping the distinct outline of the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound, including the lumps on its body.

“The white must be the power of the earth, and the blue shares similarities to the force of the Ice Pellet Pearl, clearly Snow Demon’s disturbing power.”

“Ga?”

“Ice Cream, do you have a way to extract the blue light, this light here?” Russell asked. He agreed to Katie’s request today because he wanted to test his own Ice Cream to see if it was possible to save the Half-Ghost Beast, as an experiment.

For one thing, he surmised that the Little Dream Dragon, being a Great Dragon, should be able to do so since Mr. Ross, a Bipedal Flying Dragon, could heal the Half-Ghost Beast.

Secondly, after Little Dream Dragon swallowed the Ice Pellet Pearl, the Gloomy Dreamland expanded. If it could consume the Snow Demon’s power in the Half-Ghost Beast, perhaps it could expand Gloomy Dreamland once again.

Thirdly, if he truly managed to cure the Half-Ghost Beast Wolfhound, the loyalty of the Wildcat Sisters would be secured, which would be a significant advantage in his quest to eradicate Lone Wolf Lisbon.

In summary.

It’s a rare opportunity for an experiment, and Russell wouldn’t pass it up, both emotionally and logically.
