Chapter 1900: 532 Great Star Mage

…

In this hurried journey through purgatory,

Matthew had already encountered quite a few demons with distinctive appearances.

But no matter how bizarre these creatures were, they still exuded a unique temperament that perfectly blended with the environment of purgatory.

Matthew referred to it as the “demonic temperament.”

He guessed that this was due to an evil nature bestowed upon the Infernal Creatures by the Blood River.

Mrs. Wolf, however, was somewhat different.

Matthew also felt the demonic temperament in her,

but it was faint.

And her appearance was completely inconsistent with that of all other demons–

She looked like a humanoid creature with some ancestry from wolf-like creatures.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, small enough to make most human women jealous, but the fringe of fluffy grey hair around her facial contours gave off a dangerous and mysterious feel.

The facial situation was in fact a microcosm of Mrs. Wolf as a whole.

Her body was furry in many places, somewhat like the plush toys Matthew remembered from his past life.

This made her appear not at all terrifying or malevolently demonic, but rather…

Cute?

He wasn’t sure if there were other reasons.

In any case, the moment Matthew first saw Mrs. Wolf, a sense of kinship surged in his heart.

This feeling made him cautious.

He took a half step back,

“I don’t understand what your definition of ‘ordinary’ is.”

“We’re just here for business.”

Mrs. Wolf gave a slight smile, her sweet smile completely mismatching her intentionally cold voice, even creating a strange contrast,

“My insight is very sensitive.”

“I have sensed danger from you, which means you are definitely not as mediocre as you appear.”

“You don’t need to guard against me, I have no ill intentions toward you.”

“Besides, I’m the only one here who can save you.”

Saying this,

She quickly moved in front of Matthew, then lightly tapped on the left side of the screen, and the landscape painting suddenly vanished, replaced by an extremely clear surveillance screen.

Matthew blinked.

Through the surveillance spell on the screen, the scenery in the courtyard was fully visible.

Mrs. Wolf pointed to the guardians and said,

“They are the most dangerous fellows here.”

“And that damned witch.”

“These Scorpion People are only nominally obedient to me; in reality, they only follow the witch’s orders.”

“I’m no different from you; just another pitiful prisoner trapped here.”

Matthew asked nonchalantly,

“But wasn’t it you who just ordered someone to take my companions to the brainwashing room?”

“By the way, what is a brainwashing room?”

Mrs. Wolf’s delicate and cute face showed a deep look of helplessness,

“I’m just maintaining my power on the surface.”

“Everyone new must be brainwashed by the witch before they are allowed to move around the castle.”

“I’m sorry, your two female companions might already be turned into idiots, having been infused with the witch’s potions, with no memories left, just basic instincts…”

Matthew’s face immediately showed the right amount of anger and shock.

Mrs. Wolf continued,

“Listen, if you don’t follow my instructions, you’ll end up like them.”

“The witch’s power is very formidable, and all of us together are not necessarily her match.”

In the middle of speaking,

She suddenly retched then moved her throat and unexpectedly vomited a shiny, red pebble-like object from her mouth!

“Keep this pebble under your tongue, and remember, if the Scorpion Man Guard takes you to see the witch and she tries to administer a potion, try to keep your struggling mild, don’t reveal the existence of this pebble!”

“With its protection, you won’t be brainwashed, but you must act as if you were, or else you won’t fool the witch!”

“After this ordeal, I will come to find you soon, understood?”

Mrs. Wolf looked a bit nervous.

While she spoke to Matthew, she occasionally glanced at the courtyard surveillance, even her voice slightly trembling.

Matthew frowned,

“How do I know you’re not all together?”

Mrs. Wolf’s annoyance showed her little fangs.

She quickly leaned in close, speaking rapidly against Matthew’s chest,

“Listen! Kid!”

“I’m taking a big risk to save you; they only respect me superficially and give me some authority to dispatch, no matter what I say, your companions were bound to face this fate, even if you really are somewhat skilled, get it?”

“Your fate was already sealed when you were brought into this castle, it has nothing to do with whether I give commands or not!”

“Also, those damned Scorpion People could take you away at any moment, and being turned into an idiot, you’ll regret not listening to me!”

Watching her anxious and nervous demeanor,

Matthew felt a perverse satisfaction.

But at this moment,

he was almost certain that Mrs. Wolf genuinely had no ill intentions towards him and others, and her own power was too weak to pose any threat to him.

Matthew decided to partially reveal his cards.

Just then, footsteps came from outside the room.

Mrs. Wolf nervously looked back.

On the screen,

but seeing Camela and Sandrine being escorted back front and back by two Scorpion Man Guards.

It seems the brainwashing room was not far from the courtyard.

“Do you see?”

“Their eyes are blank, and there’s drool on their lips, that’s the sign of being violently brainwashed by the potion!”
