5 One's trash is another's treasure

A few hours ago, the wolf with his twig was walking through the forest illuminated only by the faint light of the moon.

*smelling* *smelling*

'I can smell Mr. Bear, but there's another very faint smell too' The wolf concentrated so hard trying to smell the trio, but for some reason he could not, even having returned to the place where he saw them for the first time.

During the three days he was in the forest he discovered that in the forest there was a brown bear, the bear was 2 meters tall when he was with his four paws on the ground, but when he stood up could reach almost 4 meters high.

'I wonder what would happen if the trio found Mr. Bear, after all I remember him knocking out trees with only one blow. ' The Wolf thinks the first time he met Mr. Bear, he was doing his rabbit hunt and heard a bang, climbing up a tree and heading towards the sound and saw Mr. Bear knocking out trees to pick up honey, while Mr. Bear was distracted by the taste of honey, he took the opportunity to memorize Mr. Bear's scent.

'I wonder what goes on in the head of these rabbits.' Lobo remembers the rabbit that attacked Mr. Bear while happily eating his honey, a few seconds later there was only Mr. Bear and a bloody crater on the floor.

'I am fortunate that Mr. Bear is herbivorous and has not cared about the reduction of rabbits in the region, but I still think it is not a good idea to approach him.' The wolf to his thoughts at the moment he feels a different smell, he starts walking toward the origin of the smell, and the more he walks the more smells appear.

'Uhg, are many smells to my nose, I'm not accustomed to it' The wolf feels each made more uncomfortable the closer he arrives from the origin of the smells.

' As I thought, these smells come from the human camp. ' The wolf after climbing a tree observes the great camp of humans, by the accounts of the wolf there were about 100 people in the camp, but at least 60 of them seemed to be injured.

'Even though they had a big numerical advantage they lost, I wonder what happened.' The wolf was expecting a maximum of 20 humans, but the number of humans exceeded his expectation.

'I have to get close, lucky that tonight is darker than usual because of the clouds. ' The wolf takes advantage of the almost complete darkness because of the clouds that tamed the moon and approached the camp with the intention of obtaining information.

' Let's focus on the conversation of those two guards first. ' The wolf approaches two guards talking distracted and hides in a bush.

"How did things get so bad?" Guard 1 speaks while he sighs.

"Well, we never expect that in this breeding ritual there would be a corrupted creature and a royal elemental ice wolf." Guard 2 responds.

'So my species is elemental ice wolf. Was the corrupted creature me? The royal elemental wolf would be who? The Alpha maybe? ' The wolf shakes his head and watches the guards' conversation again.

"We were lucky that the Guild Master used his clairvoyance ability and quickly sent the Black Trio to help us." With the words of guard 2 the wolf remembers the trio he found in the forest.

"Yes, but unfortunately the number of wounded was high and we don't have enough food to feed us and the earthworms." Guard 1 says something that makes the wolf confused.

'Worms? Is that a code name for something? A monster maybe?' The wolf begins to think about what this worm would be.

"The way things are going to have to retreat as soon as the wounded recover enough to walk, but what worries me is the lack of horned rabbits, after all during this period of the year in this part of the forest lies only the horned rabbits , the elemental wolves and the Brute Bear, but now there's something hunting the rabbits, I'm afraid of what might be doing it. " The wolf almost laughs when he hears what the guard says, after all he was worried about a wolf cub.

"Is it probably the corrupted creature? But I was wondering why there are no animals in this part of the forest during these two months of the year?" Guard 2 asks guard 1 and the wolf focuses all his attention, because that will be information that he was also curious.

"I did a research before entering the forest, it seems that a phenomenon called Frenetic Mana occurs during these two months, is when Mana becomes denser and fierce, and because of this phenomenon the animals end up going crazy, and being sensitive to mana they end up migrating to another part of the forest temporarily waiting for mana to normalize so they can return. "guard 1 responds.

"But wouldn't that be dangerous for us too?" The Guard 2 question worried.

"It seems not, it seems only affect those who have no self-control, so that you for some reason lose the rationality nothing will happen to you" guard 1 responds calmly.

"The animals that are normally in this forest are not very clever and migrate because of their instinct, rabbits are already crazy the whole year so it makes no difference to them, the Brute Bear and the elemental ice wolves are smart enough To keep track, so I'm worried about what 's hunting the rabbits, either it's a crazed animal or it's an animal clever enough not to be affected by mana and hunting normally, no matter the option none is good. " Guard 1 explains the reason for his concern about the lack of rabbits and drops a sigh.

The wolf moves away when the guards change the subject to how they wanted to go to a brothel to relieve tension, he was not interested in hearing about a waitress's breasts.

'Um, maybe in that tent is where they keep their weapons?' The wolf sits around the camp trying to understand how he was organized, he surfs a tree and observes a small tent where he felt a strong iron scent that was 15 meters away from him.

'To have such a strong smell of iron in this tent must be where they leave their swords and other weapons ' The wolf comes to a conclusion after confirming that the smell he felt was iron, he had absolute confidence in his conclusion because in his past life his uncle had a hobby of forging swords and he always helped his uncle so he is sure the smell is iron.

'If they won't be able to attack my family if they don't have weapons.' The wolf observes things around the tent and realizes there are no guards near her.

'They probably don't expect an animal to attack the place where they leave the weapons' The wolf begins to walk towards the tent.

The wolf can get into the tent without a problem.

'Um, they just leave the arrows and things broken here.' The wolf understands why there are no guards near the tent, the only useful things in the tent were the arrows, the rest was just junk.

'But why is there such a strong smell of iron here?' The wolf walks through the tent looking for the origin of the scent and perhaps something useful to him.

'The smell comes from these barrels' The wolf finds at the end of the tent five barrels that had a strong smell of iron and they were all trapped by chains.

'What is it that's inside these barrels?' The wolf walks around the barrels wondering if he should remove the chains that would arrest the barrels, but decides not to touch the barrels.

'I don't know what's in the barrels, but if it's something alive, I better don't touch. ' The wolf moves away from the barrels and keeps looking at the tent.

' It doesn't seem to have really anything useful in this place, I'd better get back. ' When the wolf begins to walk toward the exit of the tent something draws his attention.

The wolf begins to walk towards the object that caught his attention, and when he comes near the object the wolf smiles.

"A sword." The wolf gets so excited that he doesn't even realize that he spoke his first words, he stares at a broken sword lying on the tent floor, the sword is 70 centimeters long and looks like a common european sword.

The Wolf loosens the twig he wore from the first rabbit and picks up the sword in his mouth.

'A little heavy, but you can use' The wolf gets accustomed quickly to the weight of the sword after some cuts in the air.

'It seems that this is a farewell dear Twig' The wolf looks at the branch and then leaves the tent, but when leaving the tent What he sees is a guard looking at him with his mouth so open that it would fit an egg.

The wolf stared without a reaction to the guard, for he was so excited to have found a sword he had not even noticed the guard. The guard was more even more surprised than the wolf, after all a wolf of almost 60 centimeters tall with red eyes and that had a sword in his mouth was in front of him.

The guard after a few seconds staring at the wolf pulls out his sword, the guard wanted to scream for help, but remembered how he had just been a burden during the attack on the elemental ice wolves he decides to face the wolf alone.

When the wolf sees that the guard drew his sword he stands in battle position, the idea of escaping nor passed into his head, he was more excited by the idea of doing one of the things he most missed in his past life, a sword fight.

'I wonder if all those years training Kendo will be useful in this wolf's body.' The wolf knows that all the fighting techniques he learned in his past life will no longer be useful, after all they are techniques for humans, but he spent three days training with the branch so that he could use swords with his wolf body, it wasn't long, but for the wolf who trained with swords for years in his past life was long enough, and now was the time to know if he could use swords even though he was a wolf.
