Chapter 54: Drive out all the shadow beasts
The giant moose was carried on a cart and dragged across the stone road by Gray. The three of them returned to Winter Lake City before the curfew.
The rumble of the cart stopped at the entrance of the Chamber of Commerce Station. The cart was placed in the cowshed. Yeats asked the snow owl to help guard it.
"Gu!" The snowy owl had bright yellow eyes, flapped its wings and flew to the top of a small tower, with its back to the moon in the night sky.
Yeats returned to the guest room and walked along the corridor where the torches were set up. He found that under the closed arched door of the meeting hall, there was still the sound of people talking.
The drill tooth on the shoulder suddenly raised his ears alertly.
Squeak.
The door opened from the inside, and a middle-aged man with deep blue eyes, sickly paleness, and thin cheekbones came out.
He was wearing a dark robe, embroidered with the crest of a noble family, and a pair of black musk leather gloves. His expression looked very haggard.
Suddenly he saw two figures standing outside the door. The man trembled, raised his eyes and quickly glanced at Yeats and Gray, then raised his chin and said sternly: "Get out of the way."
Seeing that this man's situation was not normal, Yeats and Gray stepped out of the way and looked at the man's back. Seeing him taking out a handkerchief to cover his mouth, he retched a few times, opened the door and disappeared into the night.
Zuanya stood on Yeats's shoulder and said disdainfully: "Humph, the breath of the dark night."
"So, can you tell whether he is a believer in the dark night?" Yeats rubbed it. Chin.
This person looks very suspicious. He may be the mage in the plot who was contaminated by the knowledge of the dark night and eventually fell!
“No.” Zuanya said simply, “Just because a person is contaminated with the breath of the dark night, does not mean that he is a believer of the dark night. Just like a person who eats nuts does not mean that he is a squirrel!”
< br>
Inequality seconds!
Yeats thought for a while and said with some concern: "Then, do Gray and I have the so-called breath of the night?"
Douya jumped onto the blanket on the floor, Patrolling the two men, he slowly shook his head.
"The breath will gradually dissipate. Even if you have been in contact with the Dark Night Believers, it does not mean that there will still be breath left now."
Dian Ya said in a proud tone: "Besides, I am here Now, I guarantee you won’t be missed by the Night Goddess, just do as I tell you!”
Yeats: "..."
I'm afraid I'm already being remembered!
"Who is outside?" Lena's voice came from the meeting hall.
Yeats opened the door and walked in. The red-haired wolf girl was a little surprised.
Her eyes were filled with shock when she learned that Yeats had become the champion of hunting giant moose.
In fact, it is the result of the squirrel drilling its teeth, but this squirrel, which likes to burn fire, has a special situation and it is difficult to expose it.
Yeats pretended to be casual and asked casually: "By the way, what happened to that gentleman just now? He looked very tired?"
"I actually feel a little strange too." Lena pondered for a long time and said, "He is a noble in Winter Lake City. He came to order some jewelry necklaces from me, but he behaves very strangely. And he looks like he has some disease..."
In the Middle Ages, the understanding of genetic diseases was still very shallow, but it was known that the union between blood relatives would have a probability of giving birth to deformed offspring. Even so, in order to consolidate their rule, it was not uncommon for nobles to engage in incestuous marriages.
Yeats's ancestors have the blood of legendary knights, and silver hair is a characteristic of the Brondi family.
The man with pale skin and gray hair just now was obviously albinism.
Yeats left the conference hall and returned to his guest room without asking Lena any further questions.
"It was mentioned in the winter plot of "Phantom Wings" that the contaminated mage was the product of incest, but he gained extraordinary magical talents as a result... The man just now deserves special attention."
Yeats's eyes flickered, and he thought to himself:
"Tomorrow's lakeside celebration, we can also see the 'iron-bone' King Hallag..."
Harrag, even after facing the humiliating defeat of the Golden Lion King, still maintained his iron-fist rule, and the friction with the Kingdom of Beasts never failed. The king often watered and weeded his vegetable garden with his own hands.
This is because in his early years, he took refuge with other chiefs. In order not to be suspected, he grew vegetables to cover up his ambitions, and gradually fell in love with gardening.
The north is really not suitable for growing vegetables. Yeats suspected that he conquered the Golden Lion in the south just to get fertile soil for farming!
In the end, he was beaten by the Golden Lion King until he ran away with his head in his arms.
Yeats thought of the Holy Emblem of Winter given to him by Snow Leopard.
Just in time to pass on what Snow Leopard told Harrage, and strive to gain allies against the ancient dragon!
*
Winter Lake City, noble district.
Eric Mansion.
The pale-skinned man woke up from the luxurious four-poster bed, closed his eyes slightly, and shook his head in pain.
At this time, the maid's trembling voice sounded: "Sir Eric, breakfast has been prepared for you, please get up and eat some..."
Eric voted When he went out of sight, a human figure made entirely of shadows stood in front of him, his face blurred, as if there were countless noise spots on his face.
The shadow was indescribable and gave people a strong sense of weirdness. Eric was dizzy and felt nauseated. He roared:
"Get out of my house, you guys, you didn't listen. Understand! ”
The shadow man's mouth made a harsh metallic sound, and Eric could barely make out human speech from it.
“But you haven’t eaten for two days.”
An invisible mage’s hand appeared next to Eric. The ghost hand grabbed the silver candlestick beside the bed and held it with force. He threw it towards the human-shaped shadow and said viciously:
“Get out, or I’ll kill you!”
Bang!
The shadow man was hit by the candlestick, and the flowing black shadow seeped out from its body. It knelt on the ground and let out hoarse and unpleasant sobs.
Eric stood up to change his clothes, passed by the shadow man, and said coldly:
"Don't think I will give in... I am different from those weak-willed mages."
The surrounding world cast a shadow in front of Eric's eyes. The room was spinning all the time, and there were countless terrifying shadow monsters staring at the walls.
With no expression on his face, he came to the kitchen and looked down at the so-called "breakfast".
Inside the saucer was a wriggling shadow, like the corpse of a shadow beast.
Eric swallowed hard, tremblingly picked up a small jelly-like black shadow, suddenly felt violent nausea, took out his handkerchief and kept retching.
Is there no normal food in this city?
Clang.
The knife and fork fell to the ground.
Eric wiped the corners of his mouth with stern eyes.
Be patient for one more day... As long as one more day passes, it will be the night of the full moon when the power of the Night Goddess is at its weakest.
As long as I follow the instructions of the goddess of youth, I can bring my world back to life and get back on track!
Eric stood on the second floor window sill, suppressing his disgust and looking down.
It's the festival, and the city is full of shadow beasts, including shadow spiders, shadow wolves, shadow hyenas... and weird and terrifying shadow people.
"Pretend everything is normal and participate in the celebration with these ugly monsters."
Eric's pupils dilated, his nails dug into his clenched palms, and blood dripped onto the shadowy floor beneath his feet.
"I will drive out all the shadow beasts - leave no one behind!"
