Chapter 148: The Silent One
After listening to Sherlock Moriarty's arrangement, Sharon didn't say anything, just nodded her head lightly in approval.
Crane then pulled out a gray-iron metal mask and placed it on his face, with only his eyes and nostrils exposed.
Similarly, Sharon and Marić each wear similar masks.
However, their purpose in doing this cover-up is different, the "resentful spirit" and the "living corpse" simply do not want to expose their true appearance, so as not to be locked by the Rune military afterwards and can no longer operate in Beckland, and the "faceling" is to wear a mask as a way to disguise its own changing appearance, misleading the Rune military and the follow-up investigation of the Rose School, after all, according to normal logic, since your face is fake, not yourself, why do you need to wear a mask superfluously?
After a little more waiting, a low whining sounded as a ship entered the harbor in the dark.
Crane returned to the vent, lifted the monoculars, and refocused on the dock under martial law.
He then saw a hybrid ship with a chimney and sails coming to a steady stop, from fast to slow, while two groups of soldiers in red clothes and white trousers with rifles ran neatly on both sides of the road.
It didn't take long for the ladder to hang down and the ship began to land.
At first a sailor carrying wooden boxes, then a young man in a major's uniform, holding a crystal box with a solemn expression, surrounded by several crew members.
The crew members were carrying lanterns, allowing the light to shine onto the box from all angles, illuminating the surface and revealing what was inside.
It was a human skull with no flesh left, and it swirled with a strange color in the light!
The group moved quite slowly, seemingly paying attention to the angle of the lantern at all times, leaving no gaps.
When they disembarked from the ship, they walked along the road to the nearest freight track, to the serpent-like steam train waiting there, and a man in a black suit came out of the hatch behind them.
He was holding a large iron bucket, which was faintly visible from above with layers of ice.
For a second, Klein almost thought that there would be a bottle of wine in the ice cubes, as is done in high society and luxury restaurants, but he quickly saw what was in the ice cubes:
It was a hand made of pure gold!
Unlike the previous group, the man holding the bucket was fast, sweat dripping from his forehead, and the metal surface pressed by his palm was covered with mist.
He seemed worried that the ice would melt before he reached his destination.
This time, the military plundered a lot of seals in the Star Plateau, the Pas River Valley, the Hagati Grassland and other places...... Crane sighed heartily and waited patiently for Tutansis II's coffin.
Another ten minutes passed, and he, along with Sharon and Marić, heard heavy footsteps at the same time in the distance.
It's like a giant walking on the hollow deck below.
Immediately afterward, the door on the side of the cabin opened, and four "knights" wearing black full-body armor carried a golden coffin and walked out step by step, the sound of stepping on it echoed and the sound of squeaking surrounded.
The surface of the coffin is painted with strange birds, long snakes, feathers, masks and other patterns, which looks ancient and mysterious, with a strong style of the ancient Highland Kingdom, which is the "bed" of the mummy of Tutansis II!
The sound of the chain turning and the metal grinding sounded, and the dark metal steel tower slowly turned its body, hanging the steel rope and hook, and was wrapped around the four corners of Tutansis II's coffin.
Then, the intricate pulley system came into play, and the heavy coffin was lifted steadily and moved to an unroofed carriage on the outside of the dock.
The four "knights" in black full-body armor suddenly relieved their pressure and sat down on the deck at the same time, letting out a heavy panting sound.
In the midst of the hula's movement, a "knight" suddenly snorted.
In the cracks of his armor, dark red blood flowed out one by one, more and more, more and more obviously, and in the end, there were even small, hard black beetles inside.
Bang dang!
The "knight" fell backwards and threw off his helmet, revealing a head with hollow flesh strips in its eye sockets, where countless black beetles were burrowing in and out.
Curse...... The mummy of Tutansis II is the embodiment of the curse...... Even wearing armor with a blessing doesn't seem to completely avoid the curse...... Crane sighed silently and looked at the golden coffin that slowly fell onto the carriage.
The carriage on the outside of the dock had no horses, and around it stood four "knights" who were exactly the same as before.
As the coffin fell, they leaned closer, ready to pull the cart.
At this moment, the wheels of the carriage suddenly turned, maintained its balance on its own, and began to run to the side!
At this moment, it seems to come to life!
Klein's spirit tightened, and he looked more focused.
Snap, snap, snap, the wheels spun at high speed, constantly bumping against the stones, wooden blocks, and steps on the abnormal road, and the horseless carriage carried the golden coffin and galloped itself in the open space of the dock.
This scene looks like a scene from a ghost story.
Near the docks, a steel monster with a chimney, cannon barrel, and machine gun turned around, and a deep voice pierced through it unhindered:
"Attachments are forbidden here. ”
As soon as this sentence ended, the carriage that was running wildly on its own suddenly lost power, and after dragging out two long tracks, it came to a peaceful stop.
At the same time, a figure stood out in mid-air, he was dressed in a white robe inlaid with gold threads, his hair was pale yellow and slightly curly, his eye sockets were obviously sunken, and his face was thin and boneless.
This is a middle-aged man with a mixed race feeling in the north and south continents, his brown eyes are irrepressible malice and madness, and there are golden nails covered with fine patterns on his thicker lips, sealing the whole mouth, giving people a strange and terrifying feeling.
Based on the traits described and the portraits given by Miss Sharon and Marić, Klein recognized at a glance that this was an important member of the Rose School, one of the leaders of the Highland Rebellion, McHams, nicknamed "The Silencer".
As soon as Mehames appeared, he set his eyes on the steel monster with the "decree" issued, completely oblivious to the coffin of Tutansis II placed on the carriage diagonally below.
It seems that his attempt just now was only to confirm the location of the demigods of the Rune military!
It's too late, it's too soon, and McHames raised his right hand and tugged at his mouth.
The golden nails that pierced the upper and lower lips bounced out at the same time, no longer closing the mouth.
McHams then opened his mouth.
Crane didn't hear a sound, didn't see any brilliance, and saw that the great steam chariot melted and twisted, and in the blink of an eye, it became a sheep.
A sheep with dull eyes and messy fur!
With a pop, blood spurted out of the lamb's belly, and a mass of flesh rolled out, inlaid with white gloves and a golden mask.
A flash of light burst out from within the piece of flesh, slicing through all the chaos and evil, and the wriggling flesh began to piece back together into human form, returning to its original form:
A man with black hair, blond eyes, and a mask.
At this moment, "The Silencer" McHams held his palm up, and all the guns and muzzles aimed at him were raised and hit into the air.
Then he took out a rag doll.
The doll seemed to be made of old cloth, stained with obvious stains and blood spots, and its eyes had been gouged out by someone, leaving two hollows.
As soon as it saw the light, its face began to change, and the reference was none other than the demigod of the Rune military, and its eyes were aimed at the man in the golden mask!
Seeing this, the demigod of the Rune military immediately caused the ring on his right hand to burst out with crystal light, and the whole person suddenly disappeared in place, flashing behind Mehams.
However, the change of the rag doll did not stop.
At the same time, on the side of Tutansis II's golden coffin, the void floated dimly, outlining a translucent mouth more than ten meters long.
The mouth opened suddenly, and he inhaled in, creating a terrifying wind that rolled up the coffin and the carriage together.
This is a suspicious spirit creature!
It is going to swallow the coffin of the mummy of Tutansis II!
Huo Ran, the bullets and cannonballs that had just been shot were dyed with Xuan He's light at the same time, and they converged and turned into a magnificent sea of light, drowning everything around them.
Klein's eyes tingled, and even if he closed it in time, he shed some tears.
After two seconds, he reopened his eyes and saw that the spirit creature with only a giant mouth was gone, the golden coffin of Tutansis II was still quietly placed on the stopped carriage, and the figure of Mehamus flashed to the other direction of the dock with the help of the metal surface, and the dirty rag doll in his hand returned to its original appearance, and the golden-eyed man wearing the mask chased after him with the help of a short "teleportation".
Where the two had been, a figure of a woman in a black evening gown was outlined, she also wore a golden mask, and on top of her head was a crown of thorns.
Above this crown, the pure light flowed rapidly, converging inward into the "ocean", but at this moment, it seemed to be in a bleak period.
Just then, Crane saw a hand, a black-gloved hand.
It hid in the shadows and scratched at the coffin where Tutansis II's mummy was located.
The coffin disappeared in an instant, flashing in front of the palm!
The Rose School sent not one demigod, but two, and it seems that they also brought the seal of the "Thief" pathway!
Seeing this, Klein immediately turned his head sideways and said to Marić:
"Run!"
Marić waited for an order, and when he heard this, he bounced out of the warehouse and ran wildly towards the outside of the docks.
Klein then turned around and said to Sharon on the other side:
"Let's go!"
Sharon didn't hesitate either, taking the iron cigarette case and flying in the direction of the lighthouse, as a "resentful spirit", the walls and obstacles along the way did not seem to exist.
She and Marić may have been noticed, but because they were far away from the docks, away from the battlefield, no one paid attention to them, no one cared.
Klein quickly withdrew his gaze and stretched out his left palm, so that the palm of his palm was aimed at the vent, the position of the golden coffin of Tutansis II.
Less than a second later, a transparent and blurry book condensed in front of him, and a distant and ethereal chant sounded in his ears:
"I came, I saw, I recorded. ”
The book flipped to the floor, frozen on one of the pages.
"Tornado"!
This is a demigod-level extraordinary ability with a huge range of effects!
