With sword light flashing, Jiang Jie killed seven Worgen in less than two minutes. The other Worgen sensed Jiang Jie's power and fled into the dense forest.
Jiang Jie took out the orange bow, Thori'dal, and with three swift arrows, killed three Worgen. The other Worgen had already run far away and could not be pursued.
"How's the situation?" Jiang Jie up to Lorna, looked everyone over, and then frowned slightly. "Seven people are injured?"
The game pod easily deceived everyone; no one's wounds could be hidden.
Those who were injured looked extremely pale, and some even began to resist and try to escape, because they knew very well what fate awaited them.
"Take all the wounded under control." Jiang Jie frowned and said, "Don't worry, although the Worgen Curse can't be completely removed, it's not impossible to control the curse, restore your sanity, and even retain your human appearance."
"What? Nicholas, do you really have a way?" Fenna asked hurriedly.
This is crucial because if there's a way, these bitten people can be saved, and the other soldiers won't be so terrified, living in constant fear of turning into monsters.
Although he would still become Worgen, the situation would be completely different. On the bright side, he would possess the Worgen's terrifying strength, speed, and agility. If he could also maintain his human form, it might... be a good thing?
Lorna is an extraordinary woman; her thought process is different from ordinary people. In her view, if she were to become Worgen, it wouldn't be a big deal...
"I never lie," Jiang Jie said calmly. "Alright, let's go back now. I want to... go see Allen."
Allen was a very good young man. He was distraught at the time, but fortunately, Gwen kept comforting him, which cheered him up. He chose to stay, after all, he was a Gilneas, and it would be better for him to be with the other Gilneas.
His mother is dead. He has been chosen by his master, Modera, and is about to become a mage apprentice. Under his master's protection, nothing has happened to him. He now lives somewhere in the Fenris Isles with Modera's other apprentices.
They soon arrived at Pyrewood Village, and then at the prison.
This is a newly built underground prison specifically for holding Worgen. Currently, there are over fifty Worgen and people who have been bitten and are about to transform into Worgen inside.
Allen is one of them.
"His condition is very bad. He tried to attack me an hour ago... His will is strong, and he hasn't turned into Worgen yet, but he won't last much longer. I'm worried..." Gwen whispered, "His mother asked me to take care of him before she died, and I..."
Gwen may appear delicate, but she is strong-willed. Although she is not a professional, she is very courageous and responsible. She did not refuse her elderly mother's dying request, and seeing Allen like this now is very distressing for her.
"Let me see him." Jiang Jie ordered the wooden door to be opened, then went inside.
As soon as he stepped inside, Allen's eyes lit up and he pounced on Jiang Jie!
But the next moment, he flew back at an even faster speed.
Jiang Jie withdrew his foot, quickly walked up to him, then formed a sword with his fingers and struck eight acupoints on his body, forcibly subduing him.
" Nicholas... sir... I don't want to... become a monster! Kill me! Take care of me, mè mè!" Allen temporarily emerged from the shadows in his heart, his eyes filled with pleading, even supplication.
"I'm sorry, I refuse. I couldn't save your mother, but I absolutely cannot let you die!" Jiang Jie pointed again, striking one of Allen's pressure points, and Allen fell into a deep sleep.
The game pod had mentioned Allen, who was a very talented young man. Although he couldn't compare to Darion's five-star aptitude, he was still four-star. If he was properly nurtured, he might even be able to reach the Xiantian in the future, and there was even hope that he could become Grandmaster.
Jiang Jie originally planned to bring him back to Fenris Isle and guide him into the field. He had even planned a training program, but this unexpected incident occurred.
Of course, from another perspective, becoming Worgen would give Allen superhuman physical abilities, which would also be beneficial for martial arts training. However, the first thing to do is to find a way to restore his sanity, and the training program also needs to be adjusted accordingly.
" Gwen, please take good care of him." Jiang Jie left the prison and arrived at the town hall, where Lord Darius and Lord Godfrey were both present.
" Nicholas, did the Worgen come from Silverlaine Keep?" Lord Darius asked as soon as he saw Jiang Jie.
"If I'm not mistaken, that's no longer Silverlaine Keep, but Shadowfang Keep!" Jiang Jie nodded. " Arugal invaded that castle and turned it into a Worgen world!"
"That madman Arugal! I knew it, we shouldn't have summoned the Worgen! And that bastard Genn, what has he done! He's ruined all of Gilneas! He doesn't even know what's going on with him!" Lord Darius roared.
" Darius, watch your words! I've already sent men to investigate; His Majesty the King may not be dead." Lord Godfrey glared fiercely at Lord Darius, then looked at Jiang Jie: " Earl Nicholas, I just heard that you have a way to restore the sanity of these... Worgen?"
" Nicholas, if you truly cannot bring them back to their senses, Godfrey has decided to execute them immediately to prevent future trouble!" Lord Darius was in a bad mood. He had just had a heated argument with Lord Godfrey, almost coming to blows, because he didn't want to abandon those infected with the Worgen Curse, but Lord Godfrey demanded that they be killed immediately.
They were both thinking of Gilneas's best interests, one was more moderate, and the other more resolute.
Absolutely amazing!
"There's an herb called Nightbane that can help Worgen calm their emotions and overcome their inner shadows. This herb grows in the Blackwald south of Gilneas City; I don't know if it grows in Silverpine Forest," Jiang Jie said. "Also, the Druid in another world have a way. Finding Nightbane and concocting the potion will be up to you. As for seeking help from the Druid... I'll find a way."
" Nightbane? Perhaps it's a new name; I haven't heard of it. I'll ask my apothecary, and if it's not in Silverpine Forest, I'll send men to Blackwald to look for it! These people absolutely cannot be abandoned!" Lord Darius nodded. "Then, what about Arugal and those Worgen? I intend to personally lead the Gilneas Brigade to besiege Shadowfang Keep!"
"A division commander is not easy to deal with, especially in Shadowfang Keep now, where there are probably countless Worgen." Jiang Jie shook his head and said, "You just need to focus on defense and protect your people. As for Shadowfang Keep, leave it to me!"
