Chapter 144: Wind and Rain Castle (2)
The wind is getting lighter, the rain is still the same, accompanied by the thunder and lightning that breaks through the air from time to time, and countless raindrops like broken pearls keep falling in the air.
In the lobby of the castle, Li Ang and the others found a few tables to sit down on the side of the circular corridor between the first and second floors, facing the entrance of the main entrance corridor, with an excellent view.
In the lobby, several larger tables have already been set up.
The "Shadow Lion King" Hord, who followed closely behind Leon and the others, and also greeted Calgaroon, and his "Holy Demon Eight Hussars" occupied two tables. As Calgallon said, he is a mighty and domineering half-beast lion.
As for the eight hussars, although they have different appearances, they are all sturdy human beings with similar height and size, and they are all strong and strong at a glance. Even if he was on the dining table, not to mention a heavy armor, he didn't even take off his helmet, but only when he took off his armor did he reveal a fierce face.
Located at a dining table in the southwest corner of the lobby, there was a "master" before Li Ang and the others entered, and a middle-aged man who looked like a businessman was closing his eyes and recuperating. At the same table as this man, there was a fat and a thin young man who looked like two servants, and the carriage parked under the porch outside must have been theirs.
"Can't you see the thoughts of these people?" asked Li Ang in a heartfelt voice to Xiaobei.
"I can't see it, from the moment I entered the castle, no, maybe from the moment I entered that tunnel, my true eye was sealed. Because at that time, I felt that something was wrong, you became very simple in my eyes, or ......" Xiaobei wanted to speak and stopped.
"Or what?"
"Or rather, to become so pure that I don't see any dirt in you, even if you don't look inward. ”
Although he promised not to peek into Li Ang's heart, this raccoon man who looked very "cute" would not peek at other people's minds casually, but despite this, under the influence of the power of the dragon soul, he can still feel the psychological fluctuations of the characters around him all the time, anytime and anywhere.
"Hehe, don't tease me, it's pure, we're not three-year-olds anymore, it looks like you're really in trouble with your abilities. ”
"yes, but that's fine. He smiled as he spoke.
"Okay?"
"That's right, it's easy, now I don't have to be tormented by your strange thoughts anymore?"
"Is she weird too?" said Leon as he deliberately winked at the little bell who was looking at him.
"Didn't I tell you a long time ago, there seems to be something strange in Xiaoling's body, but don't worry about it, staying with you for a long time, looking at that little girl will make me feel like a spring breeze, maybe that's the so-called 'positive energy'." ”
"Positive energy. ”
Looking at the girl's handsome face and big eyes full of spirituality, Leon's mind was full of his daughter's smile and figure.
"Hey," opened his palm and shook it in front of Leon's eyes, and Suzu habitually pretended to be curious, "Do you think of your daughter again, Leon?"
Of course she knew the other person's answer.
At this moment, the door opened, and under the guidance of the black panther half-orc dressed in white and black, another wave of people hurried through the porch and into the lobby.
I saw a total of six people in this group, one holding an umbrella, one carrying an old hunchbacked old woman, one walking in front of the head, and two people following behind each carrying a bag.
"Hehehe, since you are sincerely invited, why do you want to send two minions to make trouble?
The old woman lying on the back of a young man said and jumped up, and landed on an octagonal dining table like four taels of cotton, without a sound.
With the old man's voice, the two gray-clothed men who were already soaked in the back casually threw the two pockets to the ground, and when they pulled them, the pockets were instantly put into their sleeves, and two dead bodies were left on the ground, two emaciated corpses strangled by steel wire.
"This ...... Don't get me wrong, seniors, there is no such person in my Two Realms Fort, presumably it is the thieves nearby who have evil intentions. The panther orc looked at the dead body on the ground and replied respectfully to the old woman.
"Oh, hahaha, hahaha, then I'm welcome. ”
After speaking, I saw that the old woman's fingertips were slightly moved as her back was already hunched to ninety degrees, and just now the two men carrying the corpses on their backs each pulled out a pair of short knives from their wet sleeves.
A bag of skin, flesh and bones, a bag of stomach and intestines, and finally a single bag of lonely human heads, which were neatly placed at the feet of the black panther and half-orc.
The Black Panther Orc named Zambio, the head of the Two Realms Fortress, was in charge of hosting many of the guests of the event.
"What a handsome skill. Zambio praised steadily, looking calm and polite.
The corners of the old woman's eyes drooped slightly when she heard this, and said, "It's over, and it's troublesome for the manager to deal with this garbage, right?" Fifth
From the moment he came in, to the time when the two corpses were dismembered, packed, and placed at the feet of the chief steward and returned to their original positions, the two cold-faced men dressed in gray did not say a word. Not only the two of them, but also the other three men, who are clean and neat when they have something, and stand with their heads down when they have nothing to do, like a puppet humanoid without a soul.
That's right, those five cold-faced men in gray clothes are all puppets, and the old woman's puppets are just puppets.
"Isn't it Situ Wenyou's old seniors below? Standing up and clasping his fists, Li Ang said loudly below.
Li Ang was not mistaken, this old woman who had just come in was one of the four mysterious masters from the Saipanya Kingdom, a peerless level oriental puppeteer known as the "Holy Hand", and Situ Wenyou, who rarely showed up easily.
I once boarded the Noah in the cold wave disaster a year ago and also cooperated, and Li Ang got along with this old lady who had an earlobe of 30 centimeters and was more than 100 years old, and was quite appreciated by the other party.
With a slight tremor of his fingertips, a gray-clothed puppet suddenly picked up Situ Wenyou, jumped up and landed on the guardrail beside Li Ang.
"Yo Yo Yo, isn't this our savior Leon?" glanced at a few tables of people and waited for him, and his gaze returned to Leang, "What, have you also received an invitation? ”
"Ah, the juniors are just coming for others. By the way, senior, if you don't mind, would you like to join us?"
"No, I'm older, I like to be quiet, you can call me at any time if you have something, I'll sit there old woman. ”
After speaking, he jumped down, and came to a corner table directly opposite the middle-aged man who looked like a businessman, and the dark gray cloak flickered faintly five spirit threads, and the five puppeteers suddenly burrowed into the cloak like a gust of wind and disappeared.
At this moment, Zambio, the panther manager who had gone out at some point, brought in two more people.
This time it was a man and a woman with long hair and pointed ears, a bow and a sword hanging from their backs, and each wearing a dark green waist-length short cloak. Unlike Arnas, one of the Seven Heroes of Nafashu, these two were far from being so fair-skinned, but had slightly darker brown skin.
The man was handsome but cold-looking, with long black hair and golden earrings, while the woman was graceful and plump, with long silver-white hair and a pair of jade earrings.
"Please sit down casually, there are still two invitations that have not returned, and the guests will dine as soon as the time is up. ”
"Leon, their complexion is so dark, are they Night Elves?" asked Suzu cautiously and softly as she approached Leon's ear.
"That's right, it's the Night Elves, how do you know?" Leon pretended to be curious.
"Of course, Sister Narth told Xiao Ling," said the little girl, and the little girl suddenly pretended to stare at Leon with a serious face, "I said Leon, you won't really forget Sister Narth, right?"
"Sorry, we had some trouble on the way, we weren't late, were we?"
Outside the corridor, the man's voice suddenly came with the sound of the rainstorm to help Li Ang relieve the siege.
"I'm sorry, sir, these two guys had to come in, and when I saw that they were holding invitations, I couldn't stop them, so I let them in. ”
Outside, a burly minotaur three meters tall withstood the heavy rain, and he couldn't stop the other party, so he had to follow him to the door.
With permission, there were two humans walking into the lobby of the castle.
Unlike the handsome and glamorous of the two Night Elves before, the two guests who entered the hall by invitation at this time were simply chilling.
I saw that the man who walked in front was more than one meter eight meters tall, and he couldn't tell his general age, because his face was full of terrifying scars that were distorted and deformed after being burned by the fire. The Heavenly Spirit Gai is very bulging, and the hair is extremely thin, and there are burning scars between the loose hair. Looking at the man's face with nausea, the two eyes were one big and one small, and there were no eyebrows, the lips were probably contracted due to burns, and a few teeth were still exposed.
And the woman who walked in with him was no better, her clothes were sloppy and sloppy, as if they were never washed and were all patches. Although there are no burns, the face is either pockmarked or ringworm, the thick lips are turned out, the two front teeth are swaggering and exposed, and the hair that has not been washed for several months is scattered in front of and behind him.
"It's weird. Looking at the two ugly people below, Xiaobei scratched her cheeks gently.
"Hehe, little raccoon, do you want to say that it's raining so hard outside, why aren't their clothes wet at all?"
"No, no, no, I felt like the two of them had met somewhere, but I couldn't remember anything. ”
In this way, except for the last invitation, all the other guests arrived. After a short time, in the torrential rain outside the castle, reflecting the light of countless candles in the lobby, which is still magnificent despite its age, the banquet began.
There was no speech or any activity or performance, only a delicate and lovely cat lady maid suddenly came out of nowhere, serving wine and food, and was very busy.
While the cat maid was busy and had no time to spare, the panther manager disappeared and disappeared.
Outside the gate, the burly minotaur was holding a large axe with a wheeled axe, his eyes fierce and motionless in the torrential rain outside, and the whole castle looked particularly strange in this huge rain curtain, out of place with the surrounding mountains......
