Chapter 41: The Truth in Sewage
The light released by the divine magic began to retract in front of Donald the moment he activated the energy shaping, and instead of completely gathering together, it turned into dozens of beams aimed at the monster floating in the sewage river in front of him.
When Donald loosened the suppression of these energies, the sewers became a battlefield of light and darkness in an instant.
Agile Thinking: Bullet Time!
Everything in front of him slowed down, and Donald controlled the beam of light to intercept all the incoming dark tentacles in the middle of the way.
Just like this, it is naturally impossible to win this battle, even if Donald's mental power can hold on, the divine skills of these apostles cannot be maintained for a long time.
"Lilo!"
At this time, Donald naturally didn't count on others, and with a low shout, Lilo, who had been waiting beside him, stepped up to him.
"I'll resist these tentacles, you go and kill it!"
Dark green flames rose from Lilo's feet, who drew his sword without hesitation, golden light pouring out over the longsword.
The strange mass of flesh also seemed to sense the threat, and the black tentacles began to stab at Liro from all directions, and were blocked by the beam controlled by Donald, and occasionally the unfilled places were also blocked by the fire explosion spell he summoned by casting spells.
Lilo didn't disappoint Donald, as an undead who didn't care about the sewage in the sewers, and rushed directly in front of the weird flesh mass after just a few seconds.
Without any hesitation, the moment she approached, Lilo silently swung her long sword, stabbing at the strange flesh mass, and the holy light on the sword body poured into the flesh ball.
Puff~
The sound of a balloon leaking could be heard in the air, and the melee ability of the weird flesh mass, which had seemed to be very strong before, was not much different from Donald's.
The palm of his hand brushed over the bone spirit disk, and while all the brilliance was attracted by his energy shaping and completely dissipated in the confrontation with the monster, the demon serpent quietly appeared in the sewage river, and directly stepped forward to devour the flesh after Lilo's attack was successful, Donald didn't care what kind of evil existence it was, the demon serpent, as an abyssal beast, would definitely be able to digest it.
"Your Excellency, how is the situation?"
Jacqueline couldn't see in the dark, so she could only ask Donald out loud.
"Wait, all of you don't move. ”
Deliberately delaying time, let Lilo go to the monster lying on the ground to retrieve her spatial ring, and then take the demon snake that swallowed the strange flesh ball back to the bone spirit disk.
So when the lights in the hands of the apostles came back on, they saw that the sewers had returned to normal and that Lilo had returned to Donald as if nothing had happened.
If you look closely, you can see that Donald has an extra ring on his left index finger.
All the robbers died, those who were caught were caught, and it stands to reason that the matter in the sewer was over, and Donald, who got the space ring, immediately wanted to return the same way, but he didn't go out a few steps before he heard someone behind him exclaim, and when he turned around, he found that there were corpses floating in front of him in the river.
"James Craftsman, Grand Craftsman, Lewis Craftsman!"
Some of the apostles of the Craft and Forge Sect soon recognized several of the corpses, and they jumped into the river of sewage with a shout, and salvaged the bodies ashore.
"These are the craftsmen of their sect?"
Donald turned back and whispered as he stood beside Jacqueline.
"It should be, although I haven't seen these people, but I've heard Uncle Grant mention their names, they are all skilled craftsmen in the Craft and Forging Sect, and these people have all died here, which will be very big for the Craft and Forging Sect...... Blow?"
As she spoke, Jacqueline looked at Luther with a strange gaze, and the originally affirmative words sounded a little more questioning at this time.
Luther, who should have felt deep sorrow and regret, was now angry on his face illuminated by the light, and it seemed that it was not directed at the people who killed these craftsmen, but more like against them......
"What's that in the river?"
Jacqueline quickly noticed the strange object in the sewage river, leaned over and bent down to pinch a corner and lifted a piece, Donald followed and looked, the thing in her hand was like a metal chisel, and the style was very delicate, obviously not something that ordinary people could afford.
"You guys, go ahead and pay attention to the aisles on both sides to see if there are any special marks. ”
Luther, who was also looking at the things in the river, suddenly gave an order.
"Captain Luther, have you found anything?"
Jacqueline first glanced at a few of her subordinates next to her, and told them to go over and take control of all the robbers by the wall into her own hands, which was the explanation she had gone back to give to the sect and the refugees in Delchimo.
"Nothing to be found, just a routine check to see if anything has slipped through the net, and now that the robbers have been eliminated and your belongings have been regained, you can leave now. ”
Captain Luther, who had been fighting side by side with him before, suddenly became cold, wanting Donald and Jacqueline and the others to leave the sewers quickly.
Donald frowned and glanced at Captain Luther, he naturally heard that Luther had discovered something special, and he didn't want them outsiders to know that he would suddenly say such a thing.
It's just that he didn't say anything, he turned around and left straightforwardly, the matter here has nothing to do with him, Luther wants him to go, and he doesn't want to stay.
Jacqueline obviously didn't find a suitable reason to stay, and quickly trotted from behind to catch up with Zhu Jue's footsteps.
"Thank you for your help this time, if it weren't for you tonight, I'm afraid none of us would survive this battle. ”
Jacqueline is not a person who can save face, today they were indeed saved by Donald, and it is not a shame to say thanks, as an apostle of the Morning Light Sect, if you can't even say thank you, it is against the faith.
"It's all for their own goals, and I can't get the Space Ring back without you helping me find someone...... I would like to use this gratitude in exchange for you to answer my question, what did Luther just discover?"
There is still curiosity in private, but Donald suppresses it better, and only asks when he can.
"If I'm not mistaken, there seems to be a lot of tools in the debris floating in the sewage river, including the chisel I picked up earlier. ”
Jacqueline hesitated for a moment.
"What do you mean?"
Heading back down the stairs of the sewer, Donald didn't go any further, but waited for Jacqueline to come up at the corner, waiting nearby for Finger to jump into his arms, find a comfortable position, and stop moving.
"Craftsmen, tools...... The tools all appeared to be intact, but for some reason they had fallen into the sewer river...... You should be able to understand what I mean. ”
"They make something in the sewers?"
If it is intact tools and these craftsmen who appear here inexplicably, who thinks about it, the first reaction is like this, Donald whispered, and then seemed to think of something, and then said,
"The robbers are hiding in the sewers, and these artisans are also in the sewers at the same time, and I remember you said earlier that the guns in the hands of these people were obtained through special channels, and there are rumors that they are craftsmen from Corta..... Are they really?"
These famous craftsmen gathered in the sewers and prepared various tools, so it was not for a special gathering of craftsmen.
"I didn't believe it before, but now I wonder why all these craftsmen are dying there, killed by the monsters we just met?"
Jacqueline, who knew more about Corta's situation, didn't look good, not that she felt sorry for the craftsmen who died in the sewers, those people were strangers to her, she could become a knight captain, and she had been used to life and death after so many years of crusading against aliens and beasts.
Jacqueline really cares about the meaning behind the matter of time.
If it is a special firearm forged by these craftsmen, then this time the Morning Light Sect's anti-bandit operation is considered a success?
You must know that the root cause of this gang of robbers can cause such a catastrophe is those strange guns, without the help of these guns, even if those people are outlaws, they would have been wiped out long ago in the face of the apostolic teams of the two major sects.
In other words, as long as there are still people who can make such firearms, then the same bandit gangs may reappear!
Jacqueline was still thinking about it, but Donald had already left with Finger in his arms, and the curiosity in his heart had been satisfied, so he naturally had no reason to stay here, the former watched Donald's back disappear into the darkness in front of him, lingering in place, thinking about what to do next.
"Knight, where are we going now?"
Some of the subordinates approached to ask, and they were all listening to Jacqueline's orders, so it was natural for her to make the decision.
"Go back to Delchimo first!"
These things were beyond the reach of a knight chief she could decide, and she had to go back and inform the sect higher-ups of the situation so that they could make a decision.
Luther on the other side thought the same as Jacqueline.
There were traces of the tool table on the ground in front of him, and there were several boxes of parts that had not yet had time to be destroyed on the wall, and Luther covered his forehead with one hand and struck the wall next to him with a fist with the other.
"Captain Luther, we have checked, most of the wounds on the corpse have traces of flesh and blood tentacles, and two of them have their hearts pierced by tentacles, and there is a high probability that they were killed by the monster just now. ”
The on-site autopsy could only barely judge the condition of the wound because there were no professional tools, but this was enough.
Luther couldn't understand why these famous craftsmen did what they did, but the facts in front of him could not be believed.
"Pack up the body, go back to the church, and contact the high priest immediately, this matter must be informed to them as soon as possible!"
That's all Luther could do.
When everyone left, a long time later, in the right corridor deep in the sewers, someone walked slowly in the dark, holding a bead the size of a ping-pong ball broken in half.
"I didn't expect to be killed by these people, low-level evil god servants, is it only this extent...... It's a pity that if you had come earlier, maybe you would have really been turned over, and now that you should have dealt with it, all that is left is to wait. ”
A deep voice echoed through the sewers, and the figure was hidden in the darkness.
Jingle Bell~
The bell hanging from the neck of the horse in the middle of the carriage made a crisp sound as the horses swayed from side to side.
Donald sat on the roof of the carriage again, and the goods had been put into the Spatial Ring by him.
Eyes look at Corta in the background.
Perhaps because of the nighttime light, the city was misty and distorted in his eyes......
