Chapter 204 Entering the city (the network has finally been repaired woo woo woo)
Hearing Duanmu Huai's words, the expression of that wretched guy changed slightly.
"Yes, but..."
"I said, open the door."
"Okay, okay."
Perhaps sensing the sense of terror and intimidation coming from Duanmu Huai, the man swallowed and nodded.
"I respect your choice. If you want to go in through the front door, I will shout to open the door. But think about it again, is this good? I advise you to continue..."
However, before the guard had finished speaking, Duanmu Huai reached out his hand, grabbed his neck, and lifted him up.
"I said...open the door!"
"Okay, okay, I understand... If a person wants to die, no one can stop him..."
After saying this, the doorman took a deep breath and then shouted.
"Open the door! Open the door quickly!!"
"Boom, boom, boom..."
As the guard's voice fell, there was a roar outside. Duanmuhuai glared at the guard coldly, then threw him aside, turned around and strode out. At this time, the city gate that was originally closed by the iron fence had been completely opened. Looking into the city, Duanmuhuai quickly saw the crossbow and arrow battery on the high platform in front, as well as the soldiers standing behind the battery.
"Hmph!"
This time, Duanmuhuai never ignored them like before. He snorted coldly, grabbed his war hammer, strode into the castle gate, and galloped forward!
"Bang bang bang!!"
Soon, a series of crossbow arrows flew and hit Duanmu Huai's power armor, but they also did not cause any damage to Duanmu Huai. He jumped up, holding the war hammer shining with thunder high in his hand, and smashed it down hard!
"Boom!!!"
For a moment, there was lightning and thunder, and roaring lightning exploded in all directions, burning all the soldiers controlling the ballista to ashes.
At this moment, the soldiers behind the front barrier also raised their weapons and launched an attack on Duanmu Huai. Crossbow bolts were fired from their hands, but they also did not cause any damage to Duanmu Huai. On the contrary, he rushed forward directly to meet the opponent's shooting, and then swung the warhammer in his hand suddenly, instantly smashing all the fences and barriers in front of him into pieces. As for the soldiers hiding behind the barrier, Under the impact of the violent airflow, he screamed and flew backwards, without any movement.
"Roar————!!"
However, all this is not over yet. At the same time, from the woods to the left of Duanmuhuai, accompanied by the roar of wild beasts, a huge, lion-like monster pounced from Duanmuhuai's side and behind. It came over, with a sharp blade tied to its right front paw, and rushed towards Duanmuhuai like a storm, then opened its bloody mouth full of sharp teeth and bit down on Duanmuhuai.
"Seeking death!!"
However, at the same time, Duanmuhuai also turned around. He shouted loudly, stretched out the thunder warhammer in his hand, and stuffed it directly into the monster's mouth. Then Duanmuhuai clenched the long handle of the thunder warhammer and raised his hand. Gao lifted it up and smashed it to the ground!
"Boom!!"
The lion whose mouth was stuck also fell heavily to the ground with this blow. Then Duanmuhuai strode forward and stepped on the lion's head. With a soft "snap" sound, the lion's head suddenly It was trampled into pieces by Duanmu Huai, and its body trembled suddenly, and then turned into ashes like other corpses and disappeared into the air.
“Pa bang bang…”
At this moment, a series of applause sounded from behind Duanmu Huai.
"It's amazing. I've seen countless warriors, but this is the first time I've seen someone like you."
Hearing this voice, Duanmu Huai turned his head and saw a suspicious man wearing a long, wide-brimmed hat that almost covered his face, standing behind him.
"Who are you?"
"Ah, hello, brave and mighty warrior."
The man smiled and saluted Duanmuhuai.
"I am Roger, a magician. I came to this city because I wanted to find something... Speaking of which, why did you come to Stonewell City? You must know that everyone in this city is here Hunting the faded ones and using them as sacrifices for 'replacement'. Normally, no one would take the initiative to approach..."
"Do you know how to get into that tower?"
Duanmuhuai glanced at the magician named Roger, and then pointed to the tall tower next to him - that was the place where they landed before, and it was here that they violated some kind of "ban". The group of people scattered.
Therefore, Duanmu Huai also wanted to know how to enter that tower and which was the correct choice.
“That tower…………”
Following Duanmuhuai's hand, Roger looked at the tall tower, and then showed an expression of sudden realization.
"So you came here to challenge Greg in order to obtain the Great Rune...so you can see the guidance of the blessing?"
"I'm not sure what you're talking about."
Duanmuhuai shook his head.
"Anyway, what should I do if I want to go up that tower?"
"You must defeat and kill the city lord Greg, and obtain his big rune, and then you can obtain its power in the God's Grant Tower... However, the Faded One who has not been blessed for a long time has appeared."< br>
"To be honest, this is my first time coming to this land...well..."
Duanmuhuai thought for a moment, then looked at Roger.
"Are you familiar with this place?"
"It's quite familiar, after all, I've been here before."
"Then, I want to make a deal with you."
"Oh?"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's suggestion, Roger raised his head and stared at him curiously.
"What deal?"
"I also want to find something in this city, but I'm not familiar with it."
Duanmuhuai looked at Roger and said.
"And you have also seen that this city is very dangerous now. Well, I can help you, and you only need to answer a few of my questions."
"Hmm..."
After hearing Duanmuhuai's words, Roger thought for a moment and then nodded.
"Indeed, it can be seen from the battle just now that you are a strong warrior. If you protect me, it will be more convenient for me...but, what do you want to know?"
< br>
"First of all, what exactly is a prosthesis?"
Duanmuhuai looked at Roger and asked the question that had always puzzled him. Although he had heard from the little red riding hood outside the city about how to do the limb replacement, he still didn't understand the use of doing so. Could it be that there are some biochemical madmen in the city?
"This starts with the owner of this castle, 'Golden' Greg."
When talking about this name, Roger also sighed rarely.
"I think you should also know that this land was once ruled by the Golden Law. However, after that nightmarish night of conspiracy, the Golden Law was shattered and the Broken War broke out. All the demigod descendants hold fragments of the law. Trying to restore the Golden Law and recreate the glory of the Golden Clan. He is one of them... However, his own strength is too weak. After the initial defeat, he escaped from the royal city among women. After that, he hid in Stonewell City and did not dare to go out. He fought with the Valkyrie and was defeated. He even knelt down in front of her and begged for his life."
"Oh......it looks really weak."
Although Duanmuhuai still didn't know what happened, Duanmuhuai classified him just because he was escaping among women, and because he acted like a turtle, and because he knelt down and begged for mercy after being defeated by the Valkyrie. It's in the category of "weak chicken".
"Of course, Greg didn't stop there. He tried every means to try to increase his strength, and the way he came up with was... limb grafting, which means attaching another person's arm to his own body."
“………………Hua???”
Hearing this, Duanmu Huai was confused.
"Why?"
The way to build strength is to attach someone else's arm to your body? Do you think this is taking on Thousand-Hand Guanyin? After receiving a thousand arms, you will become a Buddha, right?
"Only Greg himself knows this."
Roger shook his head.
"In short, after that, Greg sent teams one after another to capture the faded people, brought them here, cut off their arms and reattached them. Not only that, he would also take the remaining parts of the faded people. The bodies are sewn together to create a monster called the Limb Noble..."
"………………"
Hearing this, Duanmuhuai frowned, and he recalled what Little Red Riding Hood had said again.
"Those who came to the border with me, those who fought for me, had their heads, feet and hands chopped off and became part of the spider..."
Now it seemed that he had guessed what was going on.
"Any more questions?"
"Of course."
Hearing Roger's inquiry, Duanmuhuai nodded.
"You said that Greg would attach all the limbs of the captured people and then sew the remaining parts into monsters, right? Then...where is that place?"
"………………"
Facing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Roger was silent for a moment and stretched out his hand to point to the small door behind Duanmuhuai.
"Go through that small door and you will reach the limb grafting hall...but I want to warn you in advance, that place...is scarier than you think."
"I don't think so."
Duanmuhuai nodded to Roger and joked, after all, he had seen the big world, but he wanted to scare himself with such a little trick? Impossible.
"Thank you for your advice. I'll be back as soon as I can."
After saying this, Duanmu Huai turned around and strode towards the small door. Roger looked at Duanmuhuai's back and shook his head. Then he sat down and meditated with his eyes closed.
Following Roger's instructions, Duanmu Huai walked into the small door, then continued forward, and then he came to a hall.
This looks like a large restaurant. Judging from the tables placed around it, this should have been a place where knights in the city ate.
once.
The reason why I say this is because this hall has completely changed into a completely different appearance.
Countless severed hands and feet were hung high on the scales on both sides of the hall, and on the floor could be seen piles of corpses wrapped in cloth, like insect chrysalis. They were piled up in layers, casting shadows under the dim firelight.
"Did you know that after being attached to a spider, a person will look like a chrysalis? It's really amazing, isn't it?"
I see.
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai narrowed his eyes. He almost understood what the little red riding hood lady saw.
Thinking of this, Duanmu Huai raised his head and looked at the center of the restaurant.
Under the dim light, a huge piece of meat was squirming. If you look closely, you will find that this is a quite weird thing.
Its back is covered with a black cloak, and is surrounded by dozens of slender hands and feet holding sharp blades and shields. At first glance, it looks like a huge crab with several pairs of legs. The abdomen of this "crab" is densely covered with a human head.
So, is this the monster named the Armed Noble that was sewn up from the remains of the victim that Roger said?
Having said that, how does this thing look like a noble?
“——————!!!”
At this moment, the monster had discovered the existence of Duanmuhuai. It roared and crawled towards Duanmuhuai as quickly as a spider, but Duanmuhuai just stood there, not even trying to dodge, looking at the monster. The monster rushed over. He raised his war hammer with both hands, raised it high, and then dropped it heavily.
"Bang!"
The limb-joined nobleman who had just run in front of Duanmuhuai was knocked to the ground by this blow. Then Duanmuhuai raised the war hammer again and swung it down again.
"Bang!!"
The limbed noble began to fight back crazily. It was swung several times longer than an ordinary person. It looked like a long arm grown from two or three arms connected together. It held the blade and slashed horizontally and vertically on Duanmuhuai's armor. It's a pity that its struggle is as helpless as a mouse facing a dinosaur.
"Bang!!!"
As the thunder hammer roared down for the third time, the huge impact completely penetrated the body of the limbed noble, and it twitched, and then collapsed to the ground, turning into a miserable corpse.
"Just rest well."
Duanmu Huai took back his thunder hammer, looked at the corpse of the limbed noble in front of him and said, then he raised his head again and looked at the hall in front of him with a sad face.
"But then again...how to find this?"
Judging from the current situation, Little Red Riding Hood's friends are probably dead long ago without a burial place. What should I do?
Could it be that I just picked up two rocks and took them back?
"Woo————!!"
At this moment, suddenly, the purple soul jellyfish quietly appeared next to Duanmuhuai. It stretched out its tentacles, patted Duanmuhuai's shoulder, and then swam forward.
"You mean I'm leaving with you?"
Seeing this scene, Duanmu Huai's eyes suddenly lit up. He still remembered that Little Red Riding Hood said that this soul jellyfish had been following her for a long time. He didn't know it, but this soul jellyfish...maybe!
"Woo!"
Hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, the soul jellyfish nodded, and then floated forward again, and Duanmuhuai followed it without hesitation and walked into the depths of the limb joint hall.
