Chapter 37: The Three Empresses (2)
"How's the progress of the recovery of the divine power?" asked Lin Moyang as he walked up to Skaha's side, Green was being treated by a reluctant Liliel and couldn't come here, so this kind of thing had to be left to Lin Moyang.
"The progress is very slow, my power has been evenly transferred to all parts of this hive, if this hive is broken, the divine power in it will return to the Shadow Country, so that I can regain power, but the progress on Ivor's side is almost the same as ours, is there a way for you to quickly smash this hive?" Skaha watched the slow demolition progress in front of him worriedly, the poisonous bees were all dead, and only a large smoking shell remained. These outsiders are so amazing that Skaha has pinned his hopes that they will help him speed up his quest for the gods.
"Ah no, we can't help it, but as the size of the hive shrinks, its toughness will also decrease accordingly, Green's opinion is to let the warriors save their physical strength, let Ivor gnaw the current hard bones, and when the hive shrinks in size and becomes less strong, the warriors can be full of energy to dismantle the hive. Lin Moyang relayed what Green had said to Skaha, but his eyes did not look at Skaha, but looked for the figure of the old lady.
"By the way, what about the old woman?" Lin Moyang looked around many times but didn't see the old woman, and when she set off before, she insisted on coming with the queue.
"The matter has been settled here, so she suggested that I should declare war on Ivor, which I think makes sense, but you seem to be tired and unfit to be an emissary, so I sent her. What's wrong?" Skaha saw Lin Moyang's expression become a little strange, and she also expressed concern to Lin Moyang: "If you are not feeling well, you can go and rest for a while, right?"
"No...... I'm fine, I'll go and see how Green is doing, so I won't bother Your Majesty. Lin Moyang's mouth was perfunctory, his body had already retreated, he didn't even forget to salute, and he had already run back to the open space where Green was healing.
"How's it going?" Green lay on the ground, while Liliel chanted a spell with disgust, treating the wounds on Green's body, looking at the way she looked, even if she let her touch a lump of unidentified objects in the sewer than she was now touching Grimm, making Grimm doubt who she was again.
"Okay, okay, you goods, you don't have to deliberately hide it when you touch a handsome guy, okay? really, I won't care. Lin Moyang looked at Lilier's awkward appearance, she was obviously a woman who had no men and no joy, but at this time, she just didn't want to expose her appearance, so she deliberately made this disgusted look.
"Huh...... Sueyang, you actually saw through it?" Liliel looked up in surprise, and at that moment, her face turned red and her eyes became misty.
"Miss Lilil, you...... Or ......" Green found that Liliel's eyes instantly changed from disgust to greed, he was still a scum who was disgusted by the girl just now, and now he is already a good steak made by the chef in a five-star restaurant, and his saliva almost dripped on him.
"Okay, okay, you just have a good look at it, don't drip saliva into his wounds, Green, you're right, that woman did make a move, so I need to go to Ivor's, and I should find out everything here. Lin Moyang pulled out the pistol, replaced all the bullets inside with a silver bullet, and then took the green dragon with him, and pinned it to his body along with the long knife given by the pilgrim.
"She's gone to find Ivor now, she's so fast? But now that we know her plan, let's get it done, right? But you're all right, right? If you're struggling, then I can do you a favor and wait for me to heal before we can go back to fighting." Green barely stood up from the ground, but was soon slapped to the ground by Liliel and lay down: "You just give me a good rest, don't make a mess for Moyang! Really, why should I touch other men's bodies here, obviously Moyang's small chest muscles feel more sensible!"
Green smiled bitterly and apologized: "I'm sorry, I'll definitely exercise well when I go back, I'm sorry." β
Liliel gave Green a blank look and said, "No need, don't get hurt next time, don't look for me if you're injured, it's true, I touched other men in front of Suyang, he didn't say anything, he must be jealous in his heart!"
Lin Moyang hurriedly shook his head: "I don't have it, don't talk nonsense, I know that you won't fall in love with other men, how can there be such a thing as jealousy, Green's people and I can rest assured, even if you strip naked in bed at the same time with him one day, you forced him!"
When Liliel heard this, her little brows furrowed dissatisfiedly, but soon she couldn't think of a reason to refute it, so she could only sigh and say, "That's the case...... It's really, Sueyang, you're such a fool, come back early, I'll wait for you. β
"Hey, you're really weird, usually you taught me something dangerous to hide, but now you don't persuade me?" Lin Moyang said with a smile, he had put the pistol back, and now he could fight at any time.
"Of course, although I don't want you to have any accidents, but I am very confident in your combat strength, how can ordinary people beat you! You are the strongest man in the world, of course I have to be confident in you!" Liliel was concerned with Lin Moyang, and for a while she interrupted her treatment, and Green couldn't say anything, so she could only cough embarrassedly.
"Okay, okay, don't talk nonsense, hurry up and finish what you need to do, I'll go back as soon as I go." Lin Moyang smiled, stood up, and walked towards Ivor's camp in the distance.
Along the way, the fragments of the hive were scattered everywhere, and Lin Moyang noticed that these fragments would soon be assimilated by the land and turned into black fertile soil, and a large number of people who were dismantling the hive were crowded under the hive not far away.
Lin Moyang trotted all the way towards Ivor's camp, and soon arrived at the door of the camp, now there are no guards, it is estimated that all the warriors have gone to dismantle the worm nest, for Ivor, these divine powers are still very important, she has Adonis by her side, she can take on more power, if she can get enough divine power, her chances of victory in the final battle are also significantly greater.
Lin Moyang didn't delay much, he walked straight towards the room where Ivor was recuperating, he pushed open the wooden door, and saw a figure quickly flash to the side.
The old woman was beside Ivor's bedside, wearing that strange cloak, and glanced at Lin Moyang, her eyes full of horror and doubt, but her expression quickly calmed down, "Warrior, why are you here?"
Lin Moyang didn't pay attention to the old woman's words, but looked at the situation in the room first, Ivor seemed to be asleep, it seemed that the burden of the injury on her was not as small as she imagined, she needed to sleep to heal the injury.
"It's nothing, Your Majesty Skaha is afraid that you are stupid, and if you don't say it well, it may make the reason for this battle unjustified, so I hurried over to help, what's wrong? Haven't you told Ivor about declaring war yet?" Lin Moyang asked.
When the old woman heard Lin Moyang say this, she was stunned at first, and she hurriedly said, "Not yet...... Not yet...... Since that's the case, then the matter of the envoy will be left to you the warrior, come, it just so happens that Ivor hasn't woken up yet, put on this cloak, right?"
A trace of resentment flashed in the old woman's eyes just now, she thought she was hiding it well, but Lin Moyang is now very sensitive to human emotions, of course he knows what this old woman is thinking in her heart, and his hand has always been near her waist, as long as this old woman has any abnormal movements, he can open a hole in her head at any time, fortunately, this old fox can be regarded as able to endure it, she did not speak, but saluted Lin Moyang, took off the cloak from her body tremblingly, handed it to Lin Moyang, and showed a kind smileγ
Lin Moyang glanced at the cloak in her hand, nodded and took it, and put it on her body. The old woman nodded: "Then I'll wait here for you to finish the work together, and then we will go back to Queen Skaha's side together." β
The old woman closed her eyes and sat down on a chair in the room, squinting slightly, looking very tired, as if she had little strength left. fresh
The two of them waited in the room for Ivor to wake up, but Lin Moyang didn't have any intention of declaring war on Ivor, he was all about this old woman. I can't help but think back to the conversation with Green before.
Green put down the girl on her back, this girl's body was covered with scars, and there was a large blood stain on her stomach, Green didn't have time to take care of the wound on her waist, so she said to Liliel first: "Miss Lilil, please deal with this young lady's wound first, I just did an emergency treatment, and I must get professional medical help." β
Lin Moyang looked at the naked woman dumbfounded, Ushaha had been pushed away by him, he asked Ushaha to go back to the castle and ask Professor Kerim to drive the RV, and now only the three of them were left in this vacant space with a mysterious girl.
"So what's going on? Where did you get this woman from?" Lin Moyang glanced at Liliel, who immediately squatted down and began to chant a spell, slowly treating the girl's wounds, who had fallen into a coma due to excessive blood loss, and her face, which was flushed with lack of oxygen, gradually turned pale and purple-blue.
"She's the Hive Empress, I guess ...... It's the Hive Empress!" Green explained, he gasped, how fresh the air was, he had never been grateful for the preciousness of air before, and now he greedily inhaled the fresh air, so that he could spare time to answer Lin Moyang's question.
"Lie down!" Lin Moyang bounced up from the ground, he didn't expect the answer to be so powerful, he quickly looked at the girl carefully, but looked at him and turned his head to the side with a red face: "Wait, no matter how you look at this, it's just an ordinary girl, right?
Green was complained by Lin Moyang, and he didn't know how to explain it, so he could only say with a tangled face: "That's it, the Hive Empress looks like this." β
"Hey, hey, didn't you say that the Hive Empress looks like a zombie, or the most terrifying monster with cracked ribs and a head falling into the abdominal cavity?
"Yes, the Hive Empress is indeed a monster, but that refers to the transformed Hive Empress, but this girl is not the transformed Hive Empress. Green smiled bitterly and said, "Didn't you explain it before?, the Hive Empress will seek out other virgins to transform them into Hive Empresses as well." But everything has a source, and if my guess is correct, it was not the Hive Empress who transformed this girl, she received the initial transformation, which is the curse itself, so she not only remained in human form, but even lived. β
β...... In other words, she is the woman who solved the problem of chicken or egg first?" Lin Moyang looked at this girl, it turned out that she was the source?
"Yes, if the existing Hive Empresses were all transformed by the Hive Empress, then how did the first Hive Empress come about? This is a question that scholars have been studying, and today we know the answer. Green pointed to Lin Moyang's coat pocket, "The thing that transformed her into the Hive Empress has been buried in her ...... In the womb...... I've taken it out, and the death of the poisonous bees is also related to the disappearance of the Empress. β
"Nani?" Lin Moyang put his hand in his pocket, and then he touched a hard thing, this is what Green stuffed into his pocket just now, and he didn't expect it to be from this girl...... Taken out?
"The curse power above is still very strong, I can't hold it for a long time, I can't help it, so I stuffed it into your pocket as soon as possible, Suyang, your resistance to magic and constitution immune to the curse should be able to resist the influence of this thing. Green explained.
Lin Moyang took out this cold object from his coat pocket, and only then did he see its full picture, it was a twisted wooden statue, like some kind of totem, with a woman and an insect carved on it, but Lin Moyang couldn't tell if it was an insect and a woman together, or an insect eating a woman's body.
"This thing...... It's pretty small, how do you stuff it in...... Ah no, I don't want to know. Lin Moyang asked an inappropriate question, quickly shook his head, and said, "Meaning, someone stuffed this thing into the ...... Xi Ba, that's not the point, the point is that someone has transformed this girl into a hive queen?"
"Yes, and she told me quite a few details. Green nodded, "This girl is from the real world, and she also accidentally fell into this world, but her situation is very special, she suddenly fell into it while sleeping at home." β
"Impossible, the people who entered later, lost the stagnation of Skaha, but they will ......" Lin Moyang was stunned, he wanted to say that this person would spend a few days to pass through the gap, and even fall into other god domains, but here he realized that this place was rising, and it might not take a few days to enter now, and they have also stayed here for almost 10 days, so it is very likely that this girl did come in like this.
"Yes, she was pulled in on her own initiative, probably just a poor sacrifice that was pulled in specifically as a carrier of such a curse. Green said, "Someone is relying on her to seize the divine power of this divine domain, and she is just a poor tool." β
"Is it really done? So who do you think? Oather? No, it seems that the Oath has other ways to use divine power directly, and will not use this clumsy way. Lin Moyang first thought of the Divine Oath, this group of people is the master who has the deepest understanding of the gods, as long as he mentions the divine power, he will think of this group of people who steal the power of the gods.
"No, but I guess...... It should be that woman. Green suddenly said, "This kind of means, we can be sure that it is not the work of the oath, so who will it be? There is no doubt that this person must also know the gods, so if we change the way, Adonis must be able to see this method, so who is he afraid of?"
"You say that old woman is really not a good person!" Lin Moyang said angrily.
"Well, because when this old woman was found in the jungle before, it was when this girl appeared here, she should have been preparing this thing, but just hid this girl, and before she had time to hide, she was found by Adonis, and when she escaped, she lost the girl's location, and later we found it and brought it back to the castle, so the girl will let the hive grow without restraint, and recently it was discovered by you, who made bread. Green nodded, agreeing with Lin Moyang's statement that he was not a good person.
"Now that the divine right has been released, that old woman must have something to do, so what should we do?" asked Lin Moyang.
"Now we need to determine her location first, and keep a good eye on her, but it's inconvenient for me, Sueyang, you can help me ask Lord Skaha, you just say so......"
After recalling, Lin Moyang quietly looked at the old woman with the rest of his eyes.
Footsteps sounded outside the hut, and Adonis entered the room in a hurry, and when he saw the old woman, he was shocked: "How dare you come here?"
Lin Moyang sat next to him, and Adonis didn't even notice Lin Moyang, which was enough to see how nervous Adonis was.
"Hey, hey, druid, you didn't expect it, you worked hard and made so many preparations, but in the end it fell short!" The old woman suddenly opened her eyes, her voice changed suddenly, Lin Moyang suddenly felt a chill rise in his heart, this old woman suddenly revealed her true colors, this pure malice made Lin Moyang shudder, maybe it was a good thing to listen to Adonis and kill her directly?
