Chapter 43 Skin Walker

As early as the Middle Ages, European wizards already knew about the existence of America and had many contacts with the magic tribes among the local indigenous people.

This kind of communication was still maintained at a relatively peaceful and friendly stage.

But with the opening of the Age of Exploration, the colonists brought guns, germs and steel, and massacred the local indigenous people, so peace evolved into hatred.

Coupled with the emergence of the Purgers, the relationship between European wizards and Native American wizards became delicate.

Of course, in this era, the Magical Congress of the United States has established a new order in the North American magical world, and the two sides can be said to live in harmony.

But in such a remote area, Rove still kept a distance from the North American indigenous people and did not intend to contact them.

It was just that the Indian girl knelt on the ground and kowtowed hard, which made him really unable to ignore it.

The boy had to stop the car, roll down the window, and ask:

"Excuse me, is there anything I can help you with?"

Although the North American indigenous people are called Indians, it is a general term for all indigenous people except the Inuit, not just a certain ethnic group or race.

Therefore, the languages ​​of the indigenous peoples are different. It is not an exaggeration to say that the pronunciation is different every ten miles. It is really difficult to communicate with them if you are not a professional.

Fortunately, the Indian girl can speak English. Although her accent is more serious than Furong's, I can finally understand what she is saying.

"My name is Dana... There are people in our tribe who are poisoned... Many people have died... Please... Who can contact the healer... Save them..."

Margaret sat in the co-pilot, her eyes fell directly into Dana's eyes, she carefully examined and pondered, and whispered:

"Where is the witch doctor in your tribe?"

"After my mother died, I became a witch doctor." Dana trembled all over and said, "But I have never seen that kind of poison before, and I can't treat it."

Tears welled up in the corners of her eyes, dripping out and slowly flowing down her cheeks.

"Help me, save my people, I can do anything for you."

Margaret looked at the girl meaningfully for a long time, and finally whispered to Rove: "She didn't lie."

Rove nodded slightly and breathed a sigh of relief.

Margaret can look through memories, see into people's minds, and determine whether the other party is lying.

It can only be said that with such a natural master of Legilimency around, things are convenient.

"Hurry up and get in the car." Rolf honked the horn and said, "I am the therapist you are looking for."

Dana was shocked and looked at the boy who was younger than her in astonishment, but finally walked towards the jeep with tears on her face.

The girl sat in the back seat and suddenly found that the temperature in the car was very low, as if it isolated the hot weather outside into two worlds.

But the low temperature also stung her red skin.

Dana walked along the road for a day, and the scorching sun and hot land baked her skin into this.

Margaret took out the ointment and handed it to the girl, smiling kindly, "Your skin is sunburned, just apply this."

Dana took the ointment with gratitude, and she noticed Margaret's amazing beauty.

Under Dana's guidance, Rolf drove the car away from the established route and drove forward along the winding valley.

Arizona is considered "the most Mars-like place on Earth" for a reason.

The cliffs on both sides are all red rocks, and towering red rock pillars stand under the pink sky. The hot wind blows the ground, rolling up grains of red coarse sand, hitting the jeep with a bang.

They finally passed through the deep valley, and some low buildings came into view. It was a small Indian tribe composed of ochre-red houses.

Rolf parked the car in the center of the village. He got out of the car and looked up. He actually saw a... stepped pyramid!

The whole pyramid has nine floors, all four sides are stepped, each with a step leading to the top of the tower, and the highest floor is a square altar.

The stone walls of the pyramid are engraved with exquisite reliefs in the shape of magical creatures. Those reliefs are lifelike and decorated with gold and gems.

On the north side of the pyramid, there is also a statue of a giant feathered snake. It also has a pair of wings, and its thick body is curled into the shape of the number 8, with its teeth biting its tail tightly.

That was Quetzalcoatl, a magical creature that was long considered extinct by the magic academic community... and the bird snake was the hybrid offspring of Quetzalcoatl and other magical creatures.

There was not a single aborigine in the entire tribe. Led by Dana, they came to a huge wooden house.

It turned out that the aborigines were all gathered here.

Rove originally thought that only a few people were injured, but at this time there were at least thirty people lying in the house, and more than a dozen people were taking care of the patients.

The air was filled with a strong smell of herbs, and smoke poured out of the stove, like an erupting crater. Unfortunately, those smells could not cover up the smell of death in the open space.

[To be honest, I have been using Reading Books to follow the updates recently, switching sources, and reading aloud with many voices, both Android and Apple. ]

When Rove walked into the house, he had already caught a glimpse of three corpses, their faces were hideous, and dark spots were left on their faces.

There was also a man who had just died, and a woman who seemed to be his wife was lying on the corpse and sobbing.

The appearance of Rolf and Margery undoubtedly attracted everyone's attention, and the Indians stared at them intently.

Dana used the aboriginal language to communicate with her people, but they looked at Luo Fu and Margaery with distrust in their eyes.

This is normal, one of them is younger than the other, they are just two children... there is no sign of being reliable at all.

Luofu didn't care either. He walked over to the recently dead body and observed it carefully.

As a magical zoologist, Rove followed Newt around the world over the years and saw many corpses. He even dissected many corpses in order to study pathology.

He knows a lot about the human body.

The young man quickly frowned and whispered to Margaery:

"The blood of a corpse that just died will still flow. Later it will condense into a lump, like thick aspic, but look at this corpse..."

Margaery quickly understood what Rolf meant. The corpse seemed to have been dead for a long time, and the blood had solidified into black powder.

"And those corpses, Dana just said they have been dead for several days." Margaery thought about it and said doubtfully:

"They should have stunk in this heat, but they didn't smell at all and they weren't rotten."

Luofu frowned. He took out the goblin's dagger and gently cut the man's arm. A foul smell gushed out from the wound, so strong that it made people unable to breathe.

"It looks very much like the symptoms of eating snapdragons." Luo Fe said softly.

At this moment, Dana ran to a four or five-year-old boy, held his hand, and cried: "Aru, wake up?"

The boy had passed out and was dying.

Dana knelt down to Luo Fu and Margaery. While sobbing, she said reluctantly: "Can you please save him? This is my brother."

Luofu walked toward the boy, and there was a sudden "ding" in his brain.

[A poisoned wizard is detected, triggering a side mission:]

Help Aru detoxify and reward magic:

【Skinwalker】

[Skin off the animal's skin completely and use special magic to refine it. When the wizard puts on the animal skin, he can transform into the appearance of the animal]
