Chapter 532 Great Astrologer
……

In this hurried journey through purgatory.

Matthew has actually encountered quite a few demons with distinctive looks.

But no matter how strange and unique these creatures are, they still exude a unique temperament that blends perfectly with the purgatory environment.

Matthew calls it "devilish temperament."

He guessed that this was caused by the common evil nature bestowed upon the creatures of Purgatory by the Blood River.

But Mrs. Wolf was a little different.

Matthew also felt the devilish temperament in her.

But that kind of temperament is very faint.

And its appearance is totally inconsistent with the style of all demons——

She looked like a humanoid with some wolf blood.

Her face was delicate and beautiful, small enough to make most human women jealous, but the circle of fluffy gray hair around the edge of her facial contour gave her a dangerous and mysterious feeling.

The facial condition is actually a microcosm of Mrs. Wolf as a whole.

She was covered in fur all over her body, a bit like the stuffed doll in Matthew's memory of his previous life.

This made her look not like a devil at all, but rather...

cute?

Not sure if there are other reasons.

In short, when Matthew saw Mrs. Wolf for the first time, he felt a sense of intimacy in his heart.

This feeling made him alert.

He took a half step back:
"I don't understand your definition of ordinary."

“We’re just here to do business.”

Mrs. Wolf smiled slightly. Her smile was very sweet, which was totally inconsistent with her pretended cold voice, and even formed a strange contrast:

“My perception is very sensitive.”

"I smell a dangerous signal from you, which means you are definitely not as mediocre as you appear."

"You don't have to be on guard against me. I have no ill will towards you."

"Besides, I'm the only one here who can save you."

talking.

She quickly walked around to Matthew, then tapped lightly on the left side of the screen. The landscape painting suddenly disappeared, replaced by an extremely smooth and clear surveillance screen.

Matthew blinked.

Through the monitoring spell on the screen, the scene in the courtyard can be seen at a glance.

Madam Wolf pointed at the Scorpion guards who were on guard and said:
"They are the most dangerous guys here."

"And that damn old witch."

"These scorpion people only obey me on the surface. In fact, they only follow the orders of the old witch."

"I am no different from you, just a poor prisoner trapped here."

Matthew asked calmly:

"But wasn't it you who just ordered my companion to be taken to the brainwashing room?"

"By the way, what is the brainwashing room used for?"

Mrs. Wolf's cute little face showed deep helplessness:

"I am only maintaining the appearance of my power."

"All new arrivals must be sent to the old witch for brainwashing before being allowed to move around in the castle."

"I'm sorry, but your two female companions may have been drugged by the old witch's potion and turned into idiots with no memory and only primitive instincts left..."

Matthew's face immediately showed just the right amount of anger and astonishment.

Mrs. Wolf continued:
"Listen, if you don't obey me, you're going to end up like them."

"The old witch is very powerful. Even if all of us join together, we may not be her match."

While talking.

She suddenly dry-heaved, and then her throat moved, and a shiny, red pebble-like object came out of her mouth!
"Put this pebble under your tongue. Remember, if the scorpion guard takes you to see the old witch and she wants to give you a potion, you must be gentle as possible and not expose the existence of this pebble!"

"With it protecting you, you won't be brainwashed, but you have to pretend to be brainwashed, otherwise you won't be able to hide it from the old witch!"

"Once we get through this, I'll come find you soon, understand?"

Mrs. Wolf looked a little nervous.

While talking to Matthew, she looked at the surveillance camera in the courtyard from time to time, and even her voice trembled slightly.

Matthew frowned:
"How do I know you're not in the same group?"

The wolf lady showed her fangs in anger.

She came close quickly, pressed against Matthew's chest and said quickly:
"Listen, boy!"

"I took a big risk to save you. They only respect me on the surface and give me certain dispatching powers. No matter what I say, your companions will inevitably suffer the same fate, even if you do have some skills. Do you understand?"

"Your fate was sealed when you were brought to this castle. It has nothing to do with whether I gave the order or not!"

"Also, you never know when those damn scorpion people will take you away. When you are brainwashed into an idiot, don't regret not listening to me!"

Looking at the other person's anxious and nervous look.

Matthew actually felt a sense of pleasure that his evil taste had been satisfied.

But at this moment.

He was almost certain that Mrs. Wolf had no ill will towards him and the others, and that her own strength was very weak and did not pose much of a threat to him.

Matthew is going to partially reveal his cards.

But at this moment, footsteps were heard outside the house.

Mrs. Wolf looked back nervously.

On the screen.

But Carmela and Sandrine were seen walking back, one in front and one behind, sandwiched between two Scorpion guards.

It seems that the brainwashing room is not far from the courtyard.

"see it?"

"Their eyes are dull and there is saliva hanging from the corners of their mouths. This is a sign of being violently brainwashed by drugs!"

Mrs. Wolf's speech became faster:

"If you still don't believe it, just pretend I didn't say anything!"

talking.

She acted as if she was going to swallow the red pebble.

But the next moment.

Matthew snatched it away and played with it carefully in his palm.

……

"Hint: You got a copy of the 'Wolf Demon Inner Pill'."

……

Wolf demon?

Just as Matthew was surprised by this unprecedented word in the data column.

Mrs. Wolf also noticed something unusual in the monitoring screen.

"what?"

She snorted slightly.

The furry little head moved closer to the screen, as if trying to see some details in the picture.

After a few seconds.

She saw Carmela and Sandrine return to the courtyard and then stood there motionless.

Subsequently.

The two scorpion men who were in charge of escorting them said something to their companions.

quickly.

Two more Scorpion men hurriedly walked towards the brainwashing room.

This scene surprised Mrs. Wolf.

She stared at it for a long time, and suddenly said in surprise:
"She wasn't brainwashed?"

"Is her appearance a disguise?"

Mrs. Wolf said, pointing at Sandrine in the picture.

Matthew took a look.

I couldn't help but secretly shake my head at Sandrine's poor acting.

But anyway, it's time to showdown.

There is nothing to hide anymore.

So he laughed and said:

"It seems that the witch's brainwashing technique doesn't work on everyone."

"Maybe she brainwashed the wrong person?"

At Matthew's suggestion.

Only then did Mrs. Wolf notice that the two scorpion men in charge of the escort were obviously in an abnormal state.

Immediately after their previous conversation with their companions, they began to show strange symptoms of being unable to concentrate and focus their eyes.

"The ones who were brainwashed were the Scorpion Guards?"

Mrs. Wolf was shocked.

Then she looked at Matthew with a little caution:

"Did you know this would happen?"

"How did your companions deceive the witch?" "What exactly do you want to do?"

Matthew didn't say anything in reply.

The last two scorpion guards left in the courtyard finally realized that something was wrong with their companions.

Even the remaining tiefling merchants noticed the change in atmosphere.

But at this time.

A beautiful and cheerful flute sounded.

Wherever the sound goes.

Everyone had drooping eyelids and felt drowsy!

Soon.

The tiefling merchant and the remaining scorpion guards in the picture fell to the ground one after another.

They were soundly sleeping, with happy smiles on their faces, as if they were having a never-ending dream.

The look of horror on Mrs. Wolf's face became even more intense.

next moment.

The wooden house was pushed open from the outside.

Luo Lan came in from outside holding a flute and greeted Matthew:

"Does this person need me to blow it?"

Matthew raised his hand to stop her:

"No need."

Luo Lan was surprised:
"I thought you would need it."

"This lady looks like she'd be your type, after all."

Matthew couldn't help but rolled his eyes:

"no thanks."

"I can do it on my own."

Luo Lan retreated with a look of regret:
"It seems like you like to force it, but sometimes, being half asleep and half awake is more interesting..."

"Call me whenever you need me, I'll be right outside."

"You have about two hours."

"But the longer the night, the more trouble there is. Let's hurry up."

Matthew nodded.

Without the numerical suppression of the Shadow Fiend Legion, Roland and Carmella, two legends with full control abilities, can easily demonstrate their strengths.

The only variables in the castle right now are the remaining group of scorpion guards and the Wolf Lady in front of him.

Loran can handle the former.

The latter naturally went to Matthew.

"You, your companions took them all down?"

"How can this be?"

"Who are you?"

"With your strength, why were you caught by Sanchester?"

Mrs. Wolf seemed to have just woken up from a dream.

Her eyes were filled with surprise, but soon turned into worry and vigilance.

Of course Matthew could understand the other party's change of attitude.

Before this, if she wanted to cooperate with me, she would be able to take complete initiative.

But the current situation is completely beyond her control.

It's normal to feel a little uneasy.

Matthew said to her softly:
"I'm sorry, but our origins must remain secret."

"But if what you just said is true, now may be your best chance to get out."

"If you cooperate with us, at least your situation won't be any worse than before, right?"

Mrs. Wolf hesitated and said:

"Are you sure your companions have dealt with the old witch?"

Matthew blinked:

"I can take you there to see it."

Mrs. Wolf bit her lip and nodded quickly.

A few minutes later.

The two walked out of the brainwashing room that smelled of decay side by side.

After seeing the old witch who had been brainwashed by Carmela and turned into a walking corpse in the room, Mrs. Wolf felt more cheerful.

Her steps were extremely light, as if she was jumping for joy like a young girl.

Her tone also became normal, with a slightly sweet voice:

"I thought I would never see this day. I thought I would have to take risks and risk my life to get rid of this old witch. I never thought this day would come in this way!"

"Thank you anyway!"

She expressed her sincere gratitude.

Matthew nodded slightly:

"I have a lot of questions for you."

Mrs. Wolf said cheerfully:
"If you will let me leave this castle, I will answer all your questions - as long as I know them."

Matthew immediately asked:

"What is your relationship with the Phantom Baron?"

Mrs. Wolf pursed her lips, the joy on her face quickly faded, but she still quickly replied:

"I'm his ex-wife."

"I saved his life, helped him overthrow the brutal rule of the previous Phantom Baron, and cleared many obstacles in his territory for him."

"But in the end, in order to hook up with the Lust Demon Queen, he not only abandoned me, but also cooperated with the Lust Demon Queen's men to imprison me here..."

"I hate that man."

"And that bitch Gracia!"

This answer is similar to what Matthew imagined.

He also asked about the relationship between Mrs. Wolf and the Shadow Demon leader Sanchester.

"Sangchester is my suitor. He liked me a long time ago, but he didn't dare to show it."

"I know this, so I secretly wrote to him this time. I need some souls as materials for practicing alchemy, and only he can help me."

Mrs. Wolf sighed and said:

"As you can see, I am imprisoned in this castle, and the old witch is the biggest stalker."

"She reports to the Baron on my situation every week."

"Her magic power is very strong. It is difficult for me to fight against her. I have been practicing alchemy on the surface over the years, but in fact I am looking for a way to escape through contact with outsiders."

"Sanchester probably knows this. He has taken a huge risk by coming here."

"The old witch probably knows this too. I guess she might deliberately let some people come into contact with me, giving me hope of escape, and then ruthlessly extinguish it. This is where her pleasure lies. I know this very well."

"There were two times before when I had actually found a chance to escape by communicating with other outsiders, but I gave up in the end because at the last moment, I realized it was a trap set by the old witch to play hard to get!"

"That damn guy!"

"She doesn't have much time left to live, so she likes to torture others to gain satisfaction. If I wasn't worried about alerting the Baron, I would have chopped off her head just now!"

She looked full of resentment towards the old witch.

After hearing this, Matthew asked thoughtfully:
"You said that Baron Phantom abandoned you in order to seduce the Lust Queen."

"It seems that he doesn't have much affection for you."

"But why did he choose to imprison you instead of just killing you?"

Madam Wolf raised her little face and snorted:
"He didn't dare."

Matthew was a little surprised.

"I have a teacher. Although he hasn't appeared for a long time, the reputation he left behind is enough to shock the scoundrels."

Mrs. Wolf said proudly.

Matthew's heart moved:
"your teacher……"

"Are you from the East Continent of Eindo?"

Mrs. Wolf nodded:
"That's why I chose you earlier."

"You also have a similar aura to the teacher."
