Chapter 246:
Pangolins are animals widely distributed across various parts of the continent.
They also exist in Transia, and not just one species. Certain parts of their bodies are used by alchemists as basic materials, but due to the Ten-Year War, there weren’t many hunters to catch them, allowing these animals skilled at hiding to nearly overrun the forests.
Gnolls’ favorite foods used to be rabbits, wild boars, and deer, but when extremely hungry, if they couldn’t catch humans, they would also catch pangolins to satisfy their hunger.
The problem is that pangolins have many scales that are difficult to deal with, which are quite unfriendly even to gnolls’ sharp teeth.
Hog didn’t like the taste of pangolins, just as it couldn’t understand why its codename would be called as such.
In fact, it wasn’t just Hog who couldn’t understand.
Lady Adele, who came to deliver the order, also couldn’t understand why Master Murphy insisted on giving Hog such a strange codename.
If it was based on the characteristics of a concealer, wouldn’t “Night Bat” or “Snake” be more fitting? And it would better suit vampires’ aesthetic view of animals.
Although Lord Murphy explained that it was an association he had when he saw a nest of pangolins while out yesterday, Adele guessed that the truth probably wasn’t so simple. As a blood-related descendant, she could more clearly sense Lord Murphy’s emotions.
