Chapter 165 Green Hag


Chapter 165 Green Hag

The kitchen is filled with a damp smell.

Brian entered the room. This kitchen had a long counter and many shelves filled with pots and pans. One of them was filled with various vegetables and weird meat slices. There were hanging shelves from the ceiling. Herbs, flowers, fruits and vegetables hang from metal hooks.

A wood stove is on the far wall with a bright flame burning inside, and in the corner stands a statue of a winged elf with a grin etched on its face.

According to the intelligence investigated by the Harper, he learned that the hag Aunt Greenbone usually stayed here during the day, disguising herself as the blind wood elf Greensong and staying with her loyal dog Morty.

Her main task is to prepare delicious-looking but tainted meals for temple guests, often mixed with rotten ingredients or trace amounts of poison.

Guests who are affected by contaminated food are told that it is because of the healthy living provided by the temple that toxins and impurities are leaving their bodies.

Brian knew that the loyal dog of the hag Green Bone Aunt was actually a hellhound with a very sensitive sense of smell and vigilance.

In order to prevent accidents from happening, he finally decided to step into the kitchen boldly.

The moment he entered the room, he heard a low voice singing to himself. The gentle lullaby originally sung by a clear voice made him feel a creepy chill.

This feeling is like a simple nursery rhyme that contains a horror story:

Look at the mother who is harvesting the wheat ears,

She actually forgot that her husband was sleeping nearby,
< br>The sickle fell high and cut off both feet,

How could cutting off two ears come from carelessness.

What is the shadow behind this?

Reshiram, Reshiram.

......

Look at the stupid dog chasing people in the courtyard,

not listening to orders but ignoring requests,

Mom prepared delicious meals carefully,

but the dog ate her left hand in one bite.

What is the shadow behind this?

Reshiram, Reshiram.

……

Seeing that the son was busy with chores at home,

helping people in the town wash their clothes,

he slipped and fell into the roaring river,

and drowned in the water and screamed miserably.

What is the shadow behind this?

Reshiram, Reshiram.

......

Look at the daughter grinding grains,

Praying that all the disasters in the family will be over,

She sets a millstone for the shadows Trap,

End this bloody game.

......

Centuries ago, a family living in a remote water mill experienced a series of disasters. An evil spirit named Reshiram possessed the family and triggered a series of disasters. Corresponding 'accident'.

The mother chopped off her husband's legs and ears with a sickle, the family's pet dog bit off the mother's hand, and the son drowned in the river while washing clothes.

The daughter of the family eventually destroyed Reshiram by crushing it under a millstone that had been blessed by the halfling traveling priest of Chantia, the Earth Mother Goddess.

Later, the story became a local legend, used as a cautionary tale to warn people to focus on household chores.

A traveling dwarf bard was so captivated by the story that he created the book "The Lullaby of Reshiram".

After listening to this song, Brian recalled some information that had been dug out by players. Obviously, this so-called daughter should be the hag in front of him.

So, he walked over without deliberately avoiding it.

"Your songs are so beautiful, Ms. Green Song." Brian walked over to her as if nothing had happened, and said to her with a smile without conscience.

A cheerful, rosy-cheeked wood elf, she wears a delicate white veil and is inseparable from her guard dog, Morty.

This camouflaged hellhound looks like a mastiff with bloodshot eyes.

The wood elf looked suddenly startled, and put down the very fresh-looking vegetables in his hand. The mastiff, which had closed its eyes and was concentrating, suddenly opened its blood-red eyes and watched Brian, the uninvited guest, warily.

"Really? Thank you for your compliment, dear guest." The wood elf chuckled, his voice as graceful as a song.

She said with regret, "It's a pity that my eyes can't see. Otherwise, I would really like to know what kind of person is standing in front of me who can say such comfortable words." ”

"Of course he is a good person." Brian praised himself and chatted with her: "I heard that blind people can usually feel whether a person's heart is pure, so I am curious, is this really the case?" No!”

The wood elf’s voice suddenly turned cold, as if he was touched by Brian’s words, and said in a high-pitched voice:

The purity of the soul makes me sick in a literal sense. That’s right! I mean, I can’t help but feel my stomach churn in front of this kind of person.” Then he changed the topic and mocked:

"No wonder people like you have to disguise themselves before they dare to meet the world. Because both your soul and appearance are so stomach-churning. Am I right, Green Hag?"
< br>"I've seen something wrong with you a long time ago." After his identity was revealed, the wood elf's face changed and he shouted in anger.

Then he suddenly stood up, and at a speed visible to the naked eye, the graceful and alluring body turned into a shriveled and haggard green hag, with dark green skin covered with bark and fungi.

If you look closely, you can find creepy insects crawling around her body, hiding in the white braids coiled around her shoulders like snakes.

Brian just glanced at her milky-white blind eyes, and it seemed as if he saw his own reflection that was old and decayed, which made him feel chilled.

As a person who had already taken precautions, he was naturally well prepared when the hag suddenly attacked.

——"Ma Youfu micro-meteor!"

Eleven fist-sized bolides spurted out from the flaming muzzle at almost the same time, killing the green hag's ugly and disgusting body. The body was submerged in the flames of the explosion.

Immediately afterwards, Brian quickly took out a bottle of silver holy water that was as thick as thick ointment, and without hesitation smashed it on the green hag's body that was burned by the flames.

As the glass bottle exploded with a 'bang' sound, it poured onto the hag's body, making a sound like the sizzling sound of a frying pan, and the painful green hag let out a shrill and horrifying wail.

Silver is the most effective way to deal with evil creatures, especially devils, demons, and evil fey creatures like hags.

Under normal circumstances, most people deal with such evil creatures by using metals with silver properties or applying the "Silver Weapon" spell on weapons.

But Brian's bottle of viscous silver holy water is an alchemical product made from the priest's holy water as the main material, supplemented by silver materials, and blessed by constant spells. The effect is naturally particularly remarkable.

As a spell caster, when he knew what opponent he would face next, he was fully prepared.

And these holy waters are the killer weapons prepared for the hags.

It works like this.

In the blink of an eye, the green hag's shriveled skin, which was blown to pieces by the bolide, was quickly penetrated by the holy water, like a strong acid with a terrible corrosive effect, turning it black, and then the inner muscle tissue, blood vessels, and even All the bones are exposed.

Layers of grease-like stinky liquid soon flowed on the ground.

This hag, whose strength was at the paragon level, was instantly destroyed by the double blow of "Mayoufu Micro Meteor" and the Silver Holy Water.

“Roar!”

Only then did the green hag's pet dog react.

It roared, and as scorching flames erupted from its body, the body of the vicious dog suddenly swelled and became as big as a calf.

This is Cerberus.

A kind of evil monster that looks like a vicious dog and breathes fire. They are all over the battlefield of Shura Field and even in the entire lower plane.

Cerberus in the main material plane usually serve devils, fire giants and other evil creatures and are used as animal guards or companions.

Brian once traveled to the Burning Hell, where there were more hellhounds than wild dogs on the roadside and goblins in the wilderness. Every time they appeared, they were in groups, which was extremely annoying.

They are more intelligent than ordinary beasts, and their lawful nature allows them to obey orders. However, the evil nature of Cerberus leaves the creature with no choice but to be trained as a ruthless killer.

——"Fire Breath!"

With a roar, the crack-like stripes on the Cerberus's skin suddenly became brighter, and then a breath that was comparable to that of a juvenile red dragon It spurted out and swept towards Brian.

Brian stood motionless, letting the flames float through his magic shield like a scorching wind.

He looked through the barrier at the Cerberus that was about to pounce. Like the Creator, he calmly stretched out his hand toward the Cerberus and drew it into the void.

——"Five-ring spell: Bigby's battering ram!"

In one breath, the sparkling purple force field energy created a ram's head-shaped vehicle out of thin air. cylindrical battering ram.

This behemoth seemed to be carrying a huge force, and violently hit the soft belly of the Cerberus that had just jumped up.

In a burst of ear-piercing bone cracks and screams, the body of the Cerberus, the size of a calf, hit the hard stone wall like an arrow, slid down the wall, and lay on the ground twitching a few times. Live interest.

At the same time, the eyes of a winged elf sculpture standing in the corner suddenly flashed red, then spread its wings and flew towards the window.

From the moment Brian entered the room, he had already secretly observed everything in the room, so naturally he would not ignore this constructed creature trying to tell the truth.

——"Three-ring spell: Shatter!"

He recited a spell quickly and pointed at the constructed creature that was about to escape and ascend to heaven.

Suddenly, the flying sculpture was stranded in mid-air, as if time had controlled its life, wearing away at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few seconds, it was as if it had been destroyed for dozens of centuries. It weathered and eventually fell to the ground, turning into a pile of ruins.

Seeing the 23,500 experience points gained, Brian didn't waste any time and quickly walked towards the next target before the enemy could react.
