Chapter 554: Encountering a Pack of Wolves
When Frederick performed his first "miracle", there were only two people involved and a few eavesdroppers present.

During the second "miracle", there were only a group of ordinary people around.

The third "miracle" was witnessed by not only civilians but also two powerful men, a baron and a bishop.

The fourth "miracle" directly acted on a count who commanded a large number of troops, and was surrounded by a large number of small and medium-sized nobles who watched the whole process.

This time the witnesses carry more weight and the news spreads more widely.

Count Ova stopped watching the show and immediately asked someone to prepare his mount so that he could run around.

Ever since he fell ill, he would feel dizzy whenever there was a bumpy ride, so he had no time to think about riding a horse. Now that he had recovered, he naturally wanted to go for a ride.

But the guards were still a little worried and stood on both sides, fearing that their leader would fall.

The audience had gathered on the top floor of the theater, watching Count Orva riding his unicorn on the grass nearby, and there was a lot of discussion.

Everyone knows that before this the Earl could not ride a horse or a unicorn, and sometimes he could not even ride in a carriage. Now he can ride a unicorn and gallop, which means he is completely healed.

Frederick remained calm, smiled, and watched the performance on stage attentively.

He was too lazy to explain, let others think whatever they want.

That night, Count Orva held a grand dinner to entertain all the nobles in the territory, and every civilian household was given two sausages.

When he sobered up, Frederick had already left with the convoy for half a day.

On the way, Lowena asked Frederick curiously: "Principal, why don't you stay with Count Orva for a while? You must have a lot to talk about."

Frederick replied: "There are many things to talk about, but now is not the time."

Lovina asked in confusion: "You just cured his illness with a miracle. Isn't this the best time to negotiate? He will definitely agree to many conditions."

Frederick shook his head and said, "It's not good to repay a favor like this."

Lowena suddenly felt that the principal's image was taller than before.

In the aristocratic education he received, political negotiations were full of tricks. The basic operation was to create problems first, then help the other party solve the problems and then ask for favors in return. For example, he would find a few thugs to harass a lady and then act as a hero to save her.

Now Frederick actually gave up such a good opportunity. He thought he couldn't do it. At the same time, he thought that the principal could create such a great achievement because of his fair heart.

Frederick initially planned to repay a favor, but if he did so, the Church of Light might intervene using miracles as an excuse, so after careful consideration, he gave up the idea.

He would not look down on those people in the church. They were not very good at punishing evil and promoting good, but they were very good at seizing and robbing.

The rest of the journey was full of dangers as the convoy was ambushed by a group of wolves.

These wolves can climb cliffs like goats and lurk there, swooping down from the sky when they find prey.

Because of the wind direction, Lowena's hounds discovered it a little late. More than a dozen gray-black wolves were running on the cliff, trying to pounce on the convoy from the air.

Fortunately, Fontana's men were experienced and had replaced the shotguns with shotgun shells, injuring several wolves running ahead.

The slightest mistake on the steep cliff would result in crushing to pieces. The injured wolves were unable to exert any strength and fell down one after another.

Lowena immediately blew a few whistles, and the hounds barked and pounced on the fallen wolf, biting its throat regardless of whether it was dead or not.

A wolf howl was heard from the top of a distant mountain, and the wolves on the cliff retreated.

It was the first time that Frederick had seen this kind of wolf, and he asked Lowena curiously, "The wolves in the mountains seem to have a special accent?" It's not like he hadn't heard wolves howling before, but this sound was a little different from what he just heard.

Lowena said solemnly, "We may have encountered 'Half Tail'."

Frederick immediately asked: "Is it famous?"

Lowe took it back and said, "I just heard about it. It is said to be a demon wolf that mutated after eating a demon crystal. It is very fierce and cruel. Most people who have seen it have died."

He has only been here for two years, and he has heard of many things but has never seen them.

Frederick nodded slightly. Magic power can induce mutations in animals and plants. Those who are unlucky in the natural environment will die deformed, while a very small number of those who are extremely lucky will be strengthened.

Fontana was a local and knew how powerful this demon wolf was. He came over and said to Frederick nervously, "Sir... Sir..."

He came here to say that the caravan had to go back to Count Ova to hide for two days, and then continue on their journey after Banwei left.

But Frederick misunderstood and thought he wanted him to take action.

"No problem." Frederick stood up and stretched.

He returned to the coach, pulled out a black briefcase from the luggage bag, assembled a pea gun from it, put two revolvers on his waist, and finally stuffed several magazines into his pockets.

Sister Renee had been sitting in the car chanting, and when Frederick was ready, she kissed him on the forehead and added a buff to strengthen his defense.

Fontana had just finished telling the guests in the caravan that they were going to return the same way to take shelter when he saw Frederick jump off the carriage and run like the wind towards the place where the wolves had howled.

"Huh?!" Fontana was stunned when he saw Frederick leaving, "Sir, where are you going?"

After hearing the shout, Lowena asked curiously, "Didn't you ask him to kill the half-tail?"

He had thought that Fontana was asking Frederick for help, and he wanted to go too, but he had to guard the convoy, so it was a pity that he couldn't get a glimpse of the principal.

Fontana said anxiously, "How could I let an adult do something like that? It's a half-tail!"

Lowena rolled her eyes at him and said, "He is Grand Duke Wesson."

Others had only heard of Frederick's legend, but he had experienced it personally.

Back then, Grand Duke Leggens hired a god of magic, whom Lowena had naturally seen before. He knew very well that he would never be able to reach that level in his entire lifetime.

But in the Battle of the Trade Route, the god of law was killed by Frederick.

Although everyone knows that he is the last one to finish off the opponent, the fact that he can participate in the battle between them at close range is itself a symbol of strength.

On the other side, Frederick caught up with the group of wolves. They were running back on the top of the mountain, but their destination did not seem to be the top of the mountain where the howling sound came from.

He followed from a distance and found that a battle between humans and wolves was going on in the valley ahead. Nearly a hundred wolves had surrounded a caravan tightly, and the caravan formed a circle around the cars for defense.

The location chosen by the convoy was quite good, far away from the cliffs on both sides, so the wolves could not drop from the sky.

The ground was littered with wolf carcasses, and there were also people lying inside the convoy.

From a distance, these mountain wolves were in groups of about ten, with a leader in each group. Following the howling of wolves from the opposite side of the valley, they kept moving forward to harass the caravan.

Frederick looked towards the opposite hill, where there was a giant wolf the size of a van, with what seemed to be a person on its back.
