Chapter 635 Lightning Slime?
When Horn put on a smart jacket and appeared in the alley near the official residence square, what he saw was Lana shivering in a blanket.
Little girl Lana looked sluggish, and even her two energetic braids hung down on her shoulders like hair. Her eyes were full of fear and fear.
Several spiritual wizards and priests surrounded her, sweating profusely, and alternated divine spells and spells to soothe her soul.
Although she is just a little maid, she has been the personal maid of Saint Jeanne, the exorcist saint, the personal maid of Saint Shilove, the dean of the Natural Seminary, and was even responsible for Horn's daily meals.
She was attacked near the palace square, even struck by lightning. Isn't this a slap in the face of the Papal Palace?
Horn's face turned gloomy rarely.
After that lightning accident, this mysterious wizard or monster never appeared again.
In order to catch this mysterious man, he even added a large number of night watchmen and gendarmes, and patrolled them every day.
It's a pity that the news has been tight for three months, but nothing has been caught. Spring happened to be the beginning, and the victory of Cheese Bay was announced. In order not to affect business, the city hall had to cancel the search status.
Horn originally thought that this wizard or monster had left Qiumu Island, but it turned out that he had been hiding for more than half a year and actually attacked again at this moment.
And he was very aggressive when he took action, and he actually attacked the people around Horn. Fortunately, Lana was fine.
Walking to the wall, Horn reached out and touched the warm wall, which was the remaining traces of lightning.
Large areas of the mortar and lime walls peeled off, revealing the red brick walls inside, and the air was filled with the stench of burnt chicken feathers.
On the floor was a broken wooden food box, the pea offal soup inside was spilled all over the floor, and there were even traces of electric burn on the cheesecake and white bread.
"Who was responsible for the scene?" Horn asked coldly.
The captain of the night watchman in this neighborhood, wearing a black spiked hat and a geared iron arm on his right hand, walked quickly to Horn: "Your Majesty, it's me."
"Tell me about it." Horn's expression softened a little.
This is obviously a veteran of the Salvation Army. To be precise, Qiumu Island is able to have one law enforcer for every 100 people because of these retired and re-employed veterans.
According to the veteran's words, Horn gradually understood that he had previously ordered Lana to bring food, and the little girl prepared the meal at Horn's mansion.
Originally, she should have called the guards for protection, but today she did not call the guards, but came alone.
When passing this alley, I happened to enter the blind spot of the patrolling night watchman's sight. As soon as I turned the corner, I was attacked.
When the night watchmen arrived, all they saw was Lana who had fallen down and food on the ground.
"So she was the only witness?" Horn asked in a low voice.
"I'm afraid yes, and he is the only survivor." The veteran glanced at Lana pityingly.
At this moment, Lana had been comforted by several rounds of psychic spells and divine spells, and her spirit was much more stable. After noticing the look in their eyes, Lana walked directly towards Horn.
"Don't be afraid, little Lana." Horn put on a soft smile and stroked Lana's head, "Let the Cheka send someone to protect you later. Remember to take the main road in the future."
Lana plucked up the courage and said: "I, I saw, I saw what it looked like."
Rene hurried over to hear the night watchman's report. He stepped forward and asked in a cold voice: "What does it look like? Is it a human or a monster."
"It's a monster, it's a monster slime!" Lana's body was still trembling slightly when she said this. After all, ordinary people have a narrow escape from death when facing monsters. "And it's a blue fluorescent slime."
Horn and Rene looked at each other. Although they guessed it was a monster, they never expected it to be a slime.
If it's acid slime, herbal slime is acceptable, but what's the combination of lightning slime?
"It, it's obviously a slime. Its body is transparent, with light blue mucus inside and afterbirth." Lana swallowed, "But it has limbs and sharp teeth. Look!”
Lana rolled up her sleeves, and there were a row of fine tooth marks with blood spots printed on her thin arms.
Rene on the side directly pulled Lana's arm roughly to her eyes, and even reached out to touch it. Lana immediately stared and pulled her hand back. Rene didn't take it seriously, turned to Horn and whispered: "It's about the size of a cat's teeth, but it has two layers of teeth inside and outside, and it's probably a round mouthpart."
Horn nodded and continued to stroke Lana's head gently: "Are there any other clues? Don't worry, you can tell me whenever you think of it."
Lana thought about it for a while: "It seemed to have a long mouth. I don't know if that was its mouth or its nose."
"Is there a slime core?"
"Yes." Lana insisted, "When I smashed it against the wall, it still barked. When it ran away, it even yelled at me!"
A slime that can mimic limbs with its body, has a mouth, and can even growl and threaten Lana?
"Monster Slime?"
A psychic wizard from the Bald Club shook his head: "Monster slimes do not have this kind of attack power and offensiveness. We have seen many monster slimes in Black Snake Bay.
Their biggest feature is not that they can use spells, but that they are large and can swallow and command other slimes, so they are also called slime kings.
For a slime like this that can simulate limbs and even vocal organs, I can guarantee that it is either caused by the Holy Spirit... or it is not a slime at all. ”
Horn's frown deepened. He didn't care about slimes or other monsters. What he cared about was, where did this come from?
Before they arrived, there was no such thing on the island. How did it appear? Could it be that the dredging project dug it out?
Or... is the church causing trouble?
After the capture of Flying Castle, according to the church archives and the correspondence between the bishop and the witcher castle, it can be seen that the opponent's budget was only enough to invest in a team of witchers.
Did they bring this thing in?
It's impossible. All the original demon hunters were arrested, and now they are directly employed as Cheka instructors from the prison. Everything that needs to be explained should be explained.
Rene's lower eyelids twitched twice, and he immediately turned sideways and ordered: "Monitor those demon hunter instructors. If there are signs of escape, allow the following means of death."
"Understood."
Several capable Chekas quickly left the scene.
Horn ordered several night watch captains: "Didn't we get a few hounds recently? Take them out. There must be Lana's blood in the monster's body. By the way, transport Lana to the health center. Don’t be poisoned.”
"Yes, Your Majesty."
Holding in the arms of three or five tall guards, Lana was surrounded and left the alley.
Horn silently put the matter on the agenda and planned to raise it at the regular meeting as soon as possible. He was cleaning the sewers of the ruined town while looking for this damn lightning slime.
Watching Lana's back disappear at the corner of the street, Horn couldn't help but sigh: "It's good luck that I didn't get electrocuted to death."
"Hard to say."
Horn turned to look at Rene in confusion, but Rene tugged at the corner of his clothes and pointed to the wall.
The first time he saw the direction René pointed, Horn's pupils shrank suddenly.
On one side of the scorch mark, there is a small black lightning scorch mark on the red brick wall that is independent of other scorch marks. Although the outline is blurry, it can be clearly seen as long as you get closer——
That's a palm print! Even the palm prints are clearly visible!
But these are obviously traces of being scorched by lightning, and Lana’s hands are neither dusty nor injured!
Rene whispered meaningfully: "Do you still remember that Lana was infected with the witch disease for the second time before she recovered from her first infection?"
Horn was stunned and quickly ordered: "When you examine Lana, send a piece of blood to the Mechanical Palace."
