The monster - Lily certainly hadn't forgotten that thing, it was caught a few days after she led the team into the Black Forest, a disgusting thing that could parasitize the victim's mental world, manipulate dreams and hallucinations to play with people's hearts, and look like a smoking mass of black flesh, which Carasius named "Nightmare Shadow", Lily was more used to calling it smoked meat, anyway, it was the same thing, it was a disgusting and stubborn unlucky thing, if it wasn't for the fact that he was going to keep it for the landlord, Our head wolf lady has already torn it up and fed it to the wolf.Because the monster has a tricky and dangerous ability, its spiritual parasitic power is almost an inexplicable instant killing skill for people who are not determined, so Lily has been strictly guarding it for many days, and has set up a careful monitoring process: the monster is guarded by a bear monster that can't dream, and the monster is locked by the Forbidden Stone twenty-four hours a day, prohibiting ordinary soldiers from approaching the cage when they are not in good spirits, if you want to check the state of the monster, you must ensure that three groups of people are present at the same time, and the first group of people is close to the cage, The second group watched the first group from a farther distance, and the third group watched the first and second groups from a greater distance with weapons in hand, and killed them on the spot if the situation was not right - these strict monitoring procedures made the monster's power useless, and kept the guy safely held until today.But this time something seems to be wrong?
Lily stood up suddenly: "What's wrong?"
”Duke Ulysses next to him also showed a nervous look: he had already known the origin of the beast tide and the situation of the group of Sanctuary investigation teams in the beast tide in the past two days, and naturally he also knew the "Nightmare Shadow" caught from the chaos storm, as a logical Kolo, he was 120,000 wary of anything from the depths of chaos, to be honest, if he hadn't been able to defeat the wolf, he would never have agreed to the other party imprisoning that thing in his castle "Don't worry, it didn't run, in fact, it's the opposite......"
Karasius had a confused look on his face, "It looks a little weak. ”"Weak?"
Lily was stunned for a moment, "It's mental, why is it suddenly weak?"
”"It may have something to do with that light just now," the high-ranking monk guessed, "that light has a powerful power in it, it seems to be a high-level order divine power, although I don't know what is causing miracles, but it mostly has an effect on the chaotic forces." ”Lily blinked, feeling that what the kobold military master said was very reasonable, so she slapped the table: "Then go, take me to see the situation." ”Duke Ulysses quickly pulled out his precious 157-year-old silver wine glass from under Lily's hand, only to find that it had been patted into a cake......
Karasius nodded, but before the wolf left, he mentioned one more thing, "Wolf head, there's something else to tell you. ”Lily turned to look at him, "You say." ”"My men and I should leave in a little while."
The high-ranking monk told him calmly."
Leave?"
Lily was stunned, "Isn't my food good here?"
”"Ahem......
"Ahem" The high-ranking monk suddenly coughed dryly, the head wolf is good, it is that the brain circuit of these nine turns and eighteen turns often makes people unable to react, and nine out of ten times by following the head wolf's train of thought can flash his waist, "It's not this problem."
We have come to Ansu with a mission, and we dare not neglect the heavy responsibility entrusted by His Majesty the Pope.And when we joined the team, we also said that after arriving in the Kingdom of Order, the investigation team will be free to move. ”As he spoke, the high-ranking monk showed a strange expression on his face again, and reminded him in a low voice: "We also paid the money when we joined the team...... implying that the Sanctuary Investigation Team had paid for food and drink in the beast tide, and they didn't come in by selling themselves to work......
Being reminded of this, Lily also reacted immediately, and the husky girl scratched her chin: "Oh, you're right to say that."
Well, I can't stop you if you want to leave, anyway, I'm going to start looking for my landlord in this Talos kingdom next, and I probably won't be able to take care of you at that time.By the way, when are you going to go?
”"No hurry, no hurry," Karasius waved his hand, "just to tell you in advance, the destination of the investigation team still needs to pass through most of the kingdom, and we can walk together for a while in the next part of the road." ”The Nightmare Shadow is temporarily imprisoned in the dungeon of the Crow Fortress.This border fortress is a bridgehead to resist the invasion of chaos, in peacetime, the crow fortress and its surrounding wasteland, forests are the territory of the kingdom, large and small villages and towns are distributed around the fortress, at that time the crow fortress assumed the role of the capital of the territory, its dungeon is mostly used to imprison the outlaws in the territory, but after the outbreak of war, the population of the territory will immediately move to the kingdom, and the political and economic center of the crow territory will also be transferred to another city near the interior, and the dungeon of the fortress will be idle- In most cases, there will only be a handful of soldiers who violate military discipline, but the Blackblade Legion and the Black Raven Guard are highly disciplined, and the soldiers are well-trained, and violations of military discipline are rare, so during the ten years of Chaos Tides, the entire dungeon area will be almost empty.This empty dungeon could be used to imprison an inaccessible nightmare monster.At least what Miss Wolf thought, but it seemed that the commander of the Crow Fortress, Duke Ulysses, was not very happy......
The dark dungeon was made of solid granite, reinforced with molten copper between the boulders, and a flaming torch was inserted every few meters on the stone wall, and the flickering light of the fire made the whole dungeon even more terrifying.Nightmare Shadow is located on the deepest level of the dungeon, where there is only a single cell, and the circular cell is lined with an additional iron fence on which Karasius hung a dozen Imprisonment Stones, which are said to be enough to suppress the most ferocious monsters in Chaos.The black, smoking lump of flesh lay on the floor in the center of the cell, looking listless, and Lily led her doglegs, Archduke Ulysses, and Brother Carasius to the dungeon, where she saw the anomaly of the lump of flesh at first sight.It looked at least a third shrunk from before, and the black smoke that was constantly coming out of it was greatly reduced, almost thin enough to see the entities inside the black smoke, and the tentacles that extended from the monster's body were crumpled on the grass mat as if they were losing moisture, and it looked like it was dying.Lily stepped forward and conjured her claws to poke at the lump of flesh, "Hey, wake up, what's wrong with you?"
”The flesh squirmed twice, and many pairs of dark red eyes inside the black smoke opened slightly, but then closed.This doesn't fit its usual style: if it were to stay on track, it should have scolded Lily."
Is this really suppressed by the light just now?"
Lily's ears twitched, and a glowing question mark appeared on her head, "Why do I think I'm hungry?"
Anyway, I'm usually hungry, that's it. ”The corners of Carasius's mouth twitched: "This monster doesn't eat at all, it doesn't even have a mouth - this is a magical creature, it should live on the primordial magic energy that is free in the air, the magic energy is everywhere in Kolo, how can it be hungry." ”"Oh," Lily touched her chin and continued to poke her "smoky meat" with her paws, "Then don't pretend to be dead, I'm not hungry for you, if you want to play dead again, I'll poke you six holes with my claws!"
”The monster twitched again, several eyes slightly opened, and a faint voice came from a cloud of smoke: "Before......
It's not that ......
Poke five holes at once?
”Lily was stunned, Rao didn't expect this monster to discuss this with herself in her own way, but she reacted instantly: "I can poke you one more alone - just talk nonsense!"
”The monster didn't speak, just shrunk all its tentacles together, rolling and twitching constantly, looking incredibly painful."
Hey, hey, hey!
Don't scare anyone!
”Lily suddenly became nervous when she saw this battle, she was not afraid of monsters attacking her, she was afraid that this thing would really die, so she would not be able to show off in front of the landlord, "I still keep you to go back to the landlord to change the ribs!"
”"Don't worry, I'll still ...... for the time being Won't go back......"
The monster suddenly fell silent again after a violent convulsion, and only then did the people around suddenly realize one thing: this strange creature from Chaos was now showing a tendency to be sane and communicative!
It's very organized, and it's actively communicating with Lily!
When Karasius realized this, he immediately wanted to warn the wolf, but before he could speak, the cloud of smoke and dust monster had already turned his gaze: "That little guy over there......
Are you from the Sanctuary?
Friars of the Church?
Bishop?
”Karasius glared at the lump of flesh on the ground, which was now in a strange state: "You......
How do you know?
”"Go and warn your pope......"
The monster didn't seem to hear Carasius, it just said to itself, a hoarse and gloomy voice coming from the smoke and dust, "Lockmardon......
Crawling out of the abyss of oblivion, the wardens of antiquity have been corrupted......"
Karasius's eyes widened suddenly, and he looked at the monster with almost horror: "You......
What the hell are you?
