Chapter 33: The Serpent's Tongue


The Kobold Elder is as timid and innocent as the other kobolds, but that doesn't detract from his depth and wisdom as the leader of what may well be the last kobold.Especially back to the historical field he is most familiar with, he swept away the previous helplessness and talked eloquently, in a few words, he not only gave Luo Songxi a comprehensive understanding of black magic, but also let Luo Songxi appreciate the cruelty of human nature in the war.However, Luo Songxi thinks that there are more or less subjective grievances of the Great Elder in this, and he does not think that some of the Great Elder's statements are true.It's just that now Luo Songxi doesn't know that in his later life, he will have to face many or even worse crises of human nature.Now, he just continued to ask the kobold elder sincerely, "Then how can I stop a black magic?"

”"Dark magic is powerful, but its weakness is that it's complicated.The three elements of black magic, the altar, the medium, and the prayer, are all indispensable, and it is necessary to wait for the right time to communicate with the gods. ”The Great Elder said slowly."

Destroying altars, blocking mediums, interrupting prayers can stop black magic.But I suggest you start with the priests.A dark magic ceremony, from the beginning to the final chanting, must be presided over by the same priest, and no one can be replaced.So finding the only priest is tantamount to stopping the ritual. ”"The priests were relatively easy to find, and they could tell if they opened their mouths—in order to imitate the Naga chanting those Old Titan syllables, they had to undergo surgery to cut their tongues open in the middle, forming a serpent-like fork.The Naga have the body of a serpent, and their tongues are also forked like snakes. ”"To find the serpent-tongued man is to find the priest."

The Grand Elder concluded, "You can recall now whether you have ever met someone like you, or who has always tried not to open their mouths even when they speak. ”Luo Songxi recalled it carefully, it seemed that he remembered that he had come into contact with someone, and there was something similar to what he was talking about, not "giant" or "musk", he had examined the bodies of these two people, and his tongue was not abnormal......

The man should have had very little contact with himself, and he couldn't remember who the man really was."

Don't ask me," 77 muttered, "I share this memory thing with you, I just searched for it, and the memory of this piece is too vague to pinpoint who it is."

Maybe you first came into contact with one of the Grey Men at the altar where Charlaster was, and there must have been a priest among them, but they should have been killed by the bombing. ”Luo Songxi was also inclined to this possibility, he sincerely thanked the Great Elder, and offered to take a look at what had been found on the kobolds when they first caught the "giant" and "musk".Naturally, the Great Elder would not refuse, and after a while, a kobold handed over the thing.Luo Songxi carefully examined them one by one - miner's lamps, kettles, the most common elemental pistols and knives......

There is nothing that can provide further clues.The only two that have some value are a map, the most detailed map of the underground mines in Tarta Town that Luo Songxi has seen so far, purely hand-drawn.There are such complicated tunnels under the town of Tarta to map and map them like this, and I don't know how much effort it will take.It's just that the bottom of the map is not finished yet, but it faintly points to the kobold dungeon.This map is very informative, first of all, the owner of the map should not have known the detailed location of the dungeon in the first place, which proves that they did not find the dungeon when the altar was first laid, so the altar should not be in this area.Secondly, the map indicates that they were looking for traces of the dungeon while setting up the altar.But what does kobolds have to do with this blood sacrifice?

Another thing is a couple of boxes of matches.Originally, it was just an ordinary match, but a fashionable girl was printed on the matchbox, and a line of small letters was printed underneath: Messiah Lilly.Luo Songxi pondered for a while, put the map and matchbox into the space box, and then got up to say goodbye to the Great Elder.The Great Elder was about to speak and stopped, Luo Songxi knew what he cared about, held his furry claws, and said, "The prospecting robot will be given to you, as for the mine cave that was discovered, I will go and take away some elemental black diamonds later, and leave the rest to you, after all, mining and smelting, I will not know."

There will be a mine hole in the future, but we will talk about it later. ”The Great Elder trembled and took out two crystal clear fruits from his arms."

This is a token of the kobolds' gathering of the clansmen, the mimic elemental fruit.But the kobolds no longer have any clansmen to gather. ”The Great Elder said to Luo Songxi."

I'll give you these two Mimic Elemental Fruits, if you need help, you can crush one and bury it in the soil.When we smell the fruit, we will surely raise the strength of the whole people to help you. ”………… Back on the ground, the sky was already shining again.After staying underground for a day and a night, Luo Songxi felt a little dizzy at the first sight of the sun.He remembered that he hadn't slept in days since he had been stabbed unconscious by the Inheritance Box.It's also a shame that he was knocked out by the kobold once yesterday, so he was forced to rest for a few hours, otherwise I'm afraid that his mental strength has been overdrawn and he won't be able to hold on.But time can't afford him to delay at all.On the way back to the ground, he had already planned his next actions a little, although he was ridiculed by 77 as having no technical content at all, but the technical plan given by 77 had obviously failed.Back in the town of Tarta, he went straight to the sheriff's office.Pushing open the door, Bob was gone, only the clear-eyed Vesta sat at his desk and painted and played."

Where's Bob?"

Luo Songxi opened his mouth and asked.Vesta glanced up at his watch, "It's not work yet, you know, Bob never gets into the office even a minute early." ”Luo Songxi also looked at his watch, there were still three minutes before the start of work, and he wanted to sit down and wait for a while.Unexpectedly, Vesta said again, "You probably can't wait for him, he should go directly to investigate the case when he goes to work today." ”"Old Zweig is gone, and a lonely old man in the town has disappeared for a while, and no one will take it seriously, maybe he has traveled around at the end of his life.But Bob didn't say that something was wrong with this matter, and characterized old Zweig as a missing case, and he wanted us not to interfere.But I think it's probably an excuse for him to be lazy and not come to work. ”"Old Zweig?"

Luo Songxi searched his mind for the memory of this person."

Yes," said Vesta, "when I was younger, I was engaged in surveying and mapping at the Mining Bureau, known as the Living Map of the Underground Mine.It's a pity that the mine road maps he drew are no longer useful......

"mine road maps!"

Only someone like Old Zweig could draw such a detailed map of the mines.Bob obviously took his words to heart, although this fat man was a little lazy and greedy, but his ability to handle the case was not bad, he had already thought that if he wanted to erect an altar underground, he would definitely need a map of the underground mines.At this point in time, the old Zweig disappeared, clearly full of suspicion.Luo Songxi took out the map from the space box and threw it in front of Vesta, "Find a way to send this map to Bob and confirm whether this is the old Zweig's handiwork."

If so, then there is a good chance that the old Zweig was kidnapped......

Even already killed. ”Vesta was also startled when he saw this map, and asked Luo Songxi, "What ......is this?"

Where did it come from?

”Luo Songxi shook out two large bags from the space box, and when he opened the bags, there were two corpses."

I got it from these two people," Luo Songxi said, pointing to the two corpses, "The second thing, please help me paint a portrait of these two people." ”Vesta was in a state of guse, and Luo Songxi flipped over and pulled out something.It was a hedron the size of a pigeon's egg, as black as night, but shimmering like the sun.This is the rarest and most valuable hard currency in this plane."

From now on, the Sheriff's Department will give me twenty-four hours of overtime, and this elemental diamond will be used as your overtime pay, health allowance, sleep allowance and all other expenses.""

Wow, this......

Worth millions......

It could be tens of millions......

I'll do it right away, boss. ”Vesta's eyes lit up with little stars, which made Luo Songxi wonder if he was a kobold.He jumped up from his chair, picked up his pen and sketchpad, and began to paint."

Also, in the past two days, you have been trying to plan a joint inspection, a mandatory inspection for everyone in the town.You are free to hire manpower, and there is so much money here anyway. ”"There are two main things to check, one is whether there is a turtle tattoo on the body, and the other is that the tongue is abnormal and whether there are split parts.""

By the way, buy another falcon, there must be one in the town, buy it at a high price.As soon as I find something, I will report the situation to me with a falcon. ”The domesticated falcon is currently the most efficient communication tool in the Federation, and it is expensive.But in front of an elemental black diamond, there should be no problem that cannot be solved.
