The bearded old man, Chief Beowulf was the forr Chief of the White Fang Clan before he was fatally injured at the battle of Kulturmak and later handed over his reign to Heorgar the Demon Wolf.
The last ti Ery heard from the other party was that he was going to retire, but now the man was standing in his backyard. Because of that, he couldn't believe what he was seeing for a mont.
Ery quickly dispelled his shapeshifting and walked towards the man with respectful attitude. "Chief Beowulf."
The elderly man stepped forward, put his hand on Ery's shoulder, and with a proud smile on his face he said, "You have grown now, kiddo. Truly amazing.."
Even though the man had retired, there was clearly still vigor to be seen on the man. However, after four years of not seeing each other, not only had he still not recovered his strength of the magus realm, the man looked ten or even twenty years older than he should have been.
Seeing the concern in Ery's eyes, Beowulf patted his shoulder again while saying, "Don't give that look, kiddo. I am fine."
Just as Ery was about to ask why the man was here, a tall figure suddenly shot up from behind him and hugged the old wolf tightly. He postponed his question as he watched Andrei once again beco his usual sentintal giant at the sight of his fatherly figure.
As it was late at the ti, Ery prepared dinner for the group. With his apothecary skills improving, Ery was able to cook a decent healthy dinner that turned out to be quite delicious.
Once again, Morgana made a scene with her distinct way of eating. In fact, if it wasn't for Annara's relentless laughter at her antics, the red-haired girl probably wouldn't have stopped her rampage.
Before the old wolf told his story, Annara first took credit for the efforts she put in for weeks searching for the remaining mbers of White Fang until she finally found the old chief. Unfortunately, the rest were currently beyond the enemy lines.
Hearing Annara's explanation, Beowulf heaved a deep sigh and said, "It's truly a sha that the White Fang is disbanded." He then looked towards Ery saying, "I heard what you were trying to do, so I agreed to co. I will help you form your wolf pack and win the Royal Hunt."
Much to Ery's surprise, the man had actually participated in the Royal Hunt several tis in his youth. For that reason, he was confident that he could give him and his pack so tips and tricks on how to win the event.
Of course, Ery was thrilled at the prospect of Beowulf helping. Having such a veteran agree to help him was definitely sothing he could only dream of, and because of that he also felt grateful to Annara.
Not wanting to waste any more ti, Beowulf quickly moved to Ery's aid and he began by analyzing the people he currently has. One by one, Yoro and the others ca to stand before the old wolf.
After watching them do several demonstrations of their abilities, Ery noticed that Beowulf seed to have grasped everyone's skills as well as a rough idea of their team's strengths and weaknesses.
Andrei was surprisingly fast despite his large stature, which made him a good mber to serve as bait or diversion during the event. His glaring flaw, however, is that he lacked confidence in head-to-head combat which could prove fatal in certain situations.
Contrary to Ery's expectations, instead of forcing Andrei, Beowulf suggested he practice using dium or long-ranged weapons – whichever he preferred. He also told the latter to expand and learn more spells as with his talent, he should be able to cast Tier 5 spells.
On the other hand, Yoro has great mobility and tracking abilities which make him the ideal scout for the pack. However, according to Beowulf, the young wolf was still very raw in technique. The forr also thought that Yoro was still far from utilizing the maximum potential of his Saint realm.
As for Morgana, just a brief glance of the girl let Beowulf know that she was special. Unfortunately, Ery's residence they were currently at was not an appropriate place to test her Crescent Moon realm.
However, it didn't an Beowulf was clueless. In fact, the man thought that with her stats and elent affinity, she could beco the pack's powerhouse – the finisher of the group.
"What about ?" Ery asked curiously, seeing the old wolf didn't ntion him.
Knowing roughly about his situation on spellcasting, paired with his extraordinary battle power and the ludicrous ability that is [Undecaying Flesh], Ery was assigned the position of the defender during the Royal Hunt, becoming the one who held the frontline for the team.
After a quick observation, the old wolf said, "You need at least five mbers to join the Royal Hunt, so you're still missing one person." Turning to Ery, he added, "How do you plan to resolve this?"
Unfortunately, Beowulf was still not in the condition to take part in the event. Even if he could, it was an event aid at the younger generation, so the old wolf preferred not to participate.
He suggested Ery to search for soone that could fill in the support role of the group, preferably one with good healing skills. Hearing those words, Ery gave a smile to the old wolf.
"We have exactly that."
It was now definitely the best ti to buy Tatyana out of the Red Pagoda, and so Ery decided to do just that even though it would have drained most of the savings they have. Not only that, it would also resolve his guilt towards her.
"I'll go fetch her now".
Morgana refused to be left and insisted on joining, hence the two left the residence and made their way to the Corvin estate. Entering the establishnt, Ery quickly looked for the fat man and told him his intention of coming here. But the latter's reaction was strange, which made Ery anxious.
He trembled as he said, "I'm sorry, sir, but soone has bought her away already."
"What!? How?! Who the hell did that?!!"
Ery was upset by the unexpected revelation. His first suspect was the Corvin themself, as they was the only one who dare make the fat man do such things to a paying custor like him. After pressuring the fat man enough, he revealed who it was.
"T-They are from the Silvermane palace.. I cannot say no… You understand right, sir?"
