Chapter 10, The Silent Village

――――――――――――

"It's so beautiful, what is it?"

Camilla asked. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

It's no wonder that she is curious, because how can a normal person have a stone on his chest, and it grows out of his body.

"Uh...... This should be...... The source of my superpowers. ”

Digg said vaguely, in fact, he only knew that it was his timer gem now, and could absorb the energy in the surrounding space at all times, but other than that, Digg only knew that this was the key to unlock his power.

The ability to incarnate as a giant is related to the fact that he has been transformed for eight years, and the role of the timer gem is the key to open the power treasure box.

"Is this posted here?" Camilla asked, staring at the timer gem.

"It's inserted into the body."

Camilla said with a look of surprise when she heard this: "Insert?!" Won't it hurt? ”

"Of course." At that time, after the anesthetic failed, that kind of heart-rending pain, he really didn't want to experience it again.

Camilla covered her mouth with her hands and exclaimed, "I didn't expect it to be so painful to be an agent. ”

"Forehead ......"

Digg scratched his head, not knowing how to explain it, saying that he was actually transformed, Camilla would inevitably think more.

The two are not friends of life and death now, and some secrets should be hidden in the bottom of their hearts.

"But why don't you just bury it in your body?" Then, Camilla regained her curiosity and asked, still looking at the timer jewel.

"I don't know."

The timer gem is the key to the transformation, and it is exposed to the outside on the one hand to absorb energy, and on the other hand, it is convenient to transform, because if the transformation is compared to opening the power treasure box, there must be a keyhole.

"Will it be watery?"

What's wrong with that!

Although he was full of slander in his heart, Digg still replied honestly: "No, there is a very thin layer of energy here, and it is very difficult for water to get into. ”

The three lines on either side of the timer gem on Dig's chest are ornaments, and they release an invisible energy force field that protects the timer gem from being easily taken away.

The Timer Gem is now the equivalent of Digg's second heart, the Power Core, which, if taken away, is not fatal, but it makes him extremely vulnerable.

As Tiga, his strongest point is the timer gem, and his weakest point is also the timer gem.

"That ......"

Camilla wanted to ask something, but was stopped by the quick-eyed Digg, who said, "Well, there are mountains, rivers and woods, and we have been asking and asking about it, isn't it a waste of this beauty." ”

"So- let's go swimming."

"Let's go~"

……

After that, half a month passed, and the group of four people traveled more than 500 kilometers, and finally met the second village in the journey, this village is located in a relatively gentle area, surrounded by a high stone wall, in terms of this decoration, it is a little more high-end than the last Gadi village.

The village gate was open, unguarded, and there were no people on the streets of the village.

But this village is a very large village looking down from the hills in the distance, not to mention a hundred or so households, and at this moment the wind and sun are beautiful and cloudless, and there should be no one on the street.

When the four of them entered the village, the same thought popped into their heads—something strange.

Click~click~

The four of them took a few steps forward and noticed a creaking door to a house.

Digg left the three of them where they were, knocked on the door himself, and asked inside, "Hello, anyone?" ”

"Hurry up, hurry up......" A hoarse voice came from inside the door, but fortunately Digg had a good ear, otherwise he or she really couldn't hear what he or she was saying.

"Let's go?" Digg raised an eyebrow and asked, "Can I come in, please?" ”

"Walk, walk......"

There was still only one sentence in the room.

Frowning, Digg pushed open the door, poked his head out and looked inside, where he saw an old lady sitting in a rocking chair shaking her head and saying "Hurry up, hurry up."

Digg glanced inside the room, there were cobwebs everywhere, there was dust on the floor, and the old lady was sitting in a rocking chair, and even she was a little dusty.

"Hello, we are passing travelers, and we want to ask if something is going on here?" Digg calmed down and asked.

"Hurry up, go quickly......" the old lady just kept repeating the word.

Digger was confused, so he had to say "sorry to interrupt", then closed the door, returned to the three Camillas, and explained to them the situation in the house.

"It's weird." Camilla said.

She suggested, "Why don't we go?" ”

"Well, no, I need to investigate the situation in this village." Digg shook his head, this village was very strange, and it might be a wise choice to leave, but since he saw the strangeness of this village, he couldn't leave it alone.

Digg doesn't usually have any hobbies, but he has a thirst for the unknown.

"I really can't help you." Camilla sighed helplessly, but since Digg stayed here, she would stay, and she stayed, and Daram and Hitra were no exception.

One thing Camilla is right, the village is indeed eerie.

Especially after dusk.

A looming white mist appeared inexplicably in the village, and the corner was extremely dim, as if some monster was hiding in the corner and waiting for an opportunity.

"It's really eerie, and I regret staying now." Camilla looked around, and something was wrong.

Dharam and Hitra nodded in agreement.

"But I feel more excited, and I feel like I'm one step closer to the truth." Contrary to the three, Digg's interest was even higher.

At that moment, the houses in the village creaked, the doors opened, and bloodless villagers walked out, their movements stiff and walking like marionettes.

They surrounded the four of them like zombies in the movie.

“…… It's kind of bad. ”

A few cold sweats flowed down Digg's head, and this situation felt like a monster was the work of a monster again.

A villager walked up to Digg with a mechanical step, lowered his head, and let out a sneer, followed by a whoosh, and something unseen swept through the air.

Syllable!

The slam hit Digg's face at once, leaving a red mark, but fortunately Digg had thick skin, otherwise he would have been beaten and bled out.

"Something!" Digg covered his face and looked around warily.

Camilla seemed to remember something, and said with wide eyes, "I—I know!" It's the Star Spirit! The legendary invisible vampires, these villagers are all controlled by the Star Spirits. ”

"Sure enough, it's a monster!"
