Chapter 1003 Nothing can be done

"You'd better pray to find something, or I'll definitely have Grandma Akara deduct the money from your elder's salary for this meal."

After settling the account, touching the money bag that seemed to be deflated, I had a black face and glared at the old man Farrah angrily, if I let this guy come over, I can save a child because of this, it doesn't matter if I spend a little more, but if I just come to cheat and cheat, and I wipe my mouth and leave, I will let this old guy see, even if Rogge, who is ranked below him, is the third stingy, it is not so easy to make money.

"Waiter, waiter, pack."

As a result, this guy didn't pay attention to my threats at all, but shouted loudly and shamelessly for the waiter to come over, and the table was almost finished, and some leftovers were left, and even gnawed clean bones were not spared, so embarrassed, the eyes of the people around him were so dazzling, if he dared to reveal the identity of the elder now, I would definitely punish him immediately.

Hmph, it's better to be really like the table, confident, and not the same thing.

Leaving a cold snort, we split up, and Old Man Farah naturally went back to the Mage Guild, ready to wait for us to bring the child.

The question is, how do you bring that child? Judging from the situation last night, it seems that she not only regarded us as strangers, but also regarded those vigilant eyes as strange uncles and strange aunts who had plots against her.

This problem only lingered in our minds for a moment, and then it was solved, although I am a little sorry for the child, but today we are going to stage an alien abduction incident.

Under the guidance of someone with a heart, we quickly found the trace of the child, followed from a distance, found a suitable opportunity, knocked her unconscious, picked her up, and immediately swept towards the Mage Guild.

I swear, this is the first time I've done anything like this, and no matter how much Jeluka doubts my skill, I did it all in one go, as if I had rehearsed it a hundred times beforehand.

Come to the basement of the Mage Guild and kidnap us ...... Ahem, in the short time that he brought the child with good intentions, he had already arranged a huge circular magic array in the middle, anyway, I couldn't understand this thing, those esoteric rune graphics were like a bunch of disorderless garbled codes to me, and there was no solution.

"Put her on the magic circle."

Pinching the few remaining sparse beards, Farah squinted his eyes and pointed to the center of the magic circle as if he were a master.

"You tinker slowly here, let's go out first."

In view of the fact that this old man was constipated every time he experimented, smelly and long, although I was worried about the little girl lying in the center of the magic circle, it would not be helpful to stay here, so I retreated.

"Wait, you've got to do a favor." As I turned to leave, Old Man Farah hurriedly shouted.

"What's the busy?"

I looked back with a confused look, this old man, it's not that I don't know about magic, I'm a complete layman.

The gloating hehe laughed, and the old man Farah gestured a few times with his gaze on the magic array.

Where he looked, there was a neatly recessed hole.

It is a groove inlaid with gems, and most of the use of magic arrays must use the energy of gems, and I still know this little magic knowledge.

Just looking at the number and shape of the grooves, it turned out to be nine full-grade gems, which is a quantity that I may not be able to earn back after several days of training, plus there is a little saint at home who uses diamonds as snacks......

I glared at the old man Farah with a sad and angry gaze, and I endured it for the sake of this little girl

Set the gems on it, at this time, the old man Farah waved his sleeves impatiently, with a look of your no longer useful, hurry up and flash me to the side of the arrogant look.

I'll put up with it.

So, after spending a whole day in the Mage Guild, it was not until the evening that the old man Farah came out sweating profusely.

"Is there a conclusion?"

I secretly wielded the fist of sanctions, as long as this old man dared to say a word, then even if he was beaten and flew to the city of divine punishment, he would not complain to others.

"It's a bit of an eyebrow, but I can't draw conclusions just yet."

Old man Farah frowned, a little distracted and replied casually, it seemed that his mind was still stuck in the research just now.

"Isn't that the same as not saying it? Can we find the reason? "I held back the fist of sanctions, and the veins on my head kept beating.

"Of course I can find it, don't I think who Farah is? Merely...... It's up to you when it comes to timing. ”

Coming back to his senses, he pinched his beard and said proudly, this old man is brazen in other aspects, faceless and skinless, but he can't tolerate others to say two things about him, the first is his beard, and the second is his magic level.

"What do you mean?"

Putting down the fist of sanctions for the time being, I asked incomprehensibly, please make it clear, okay?

"Oops, if you can have an old nerd who doesn't die, it will be soon." Old man Farah said vaguely, but I already understood what he meant.

Are you talking about Kane? Because Old Man Farah and Kane are mortal enemies, he naturally doesn't want to ask for it himself, so he said this to me.

But is it really that complicated? I didn't even need to invite Kane, I'm not praising the old man, it's just that he is an old bone after all, and the knowledge in his head is indeed very rich, except for the field of magic that he specializes in, even in other aspects, he has good insight.

Now, he needs to bring Kane over, it must be a very tricky problem, and he can't solve it with his profound knowledge, and he must rely on Kane to master it, some extremely unpopular and obscure knowledge.

"If Grandpa Kane comes, how much time will it take, and if he doesn't, how much time will it take?" I asked.

"Well, although I'm a little unconvinced, but if the old guy comes, it will take about a day to come to a conclusion, and if I am alone, I have to go through a lot of books as a basis for judgment, and I may not be able to complete it in five days."

Saying this, the old man Farah was depressed and subconsciously pulled his beard hard, almost didn't pluck off a few, and he was so frightened that he hurriedly held up his poor beards like a baby.

"Okay, I'll ask Grandpa Kane to go over there." I replied decisively.

"Wu."

When he turned to leave, Old Man Farah's slightly more serious voice sounded behind him.

"I can't say for sure, but ...... It's better not to be too optimistic and be mentally prepared, understand? ”

After a slight pause, I took another step and said without looking back.

"Don't worry, but as long as there is a glimmer of hope, I will not give up."

Stepping out of the Mage Guild, the sky of the Demon Fortress was still gloomy, even at noon, there would not be a ray of sunlight falling, but, probably just walked out of the gloomy basement, I was slightly stunned by this gloomy sky, and subconsciously covered it with my hands.

"Your Royal Highness."

Behind my back, Jeroka tugged at my cloak.

"Huh?" Squinting my eyes, I looked back.

"Hmph."

Probably not used to my sudden gaze, the little yellow maid snorted lightly.

"Thing...... Explain in advance, even if His Royal Highness gives me some small favors, don't think about making me give in easily, a fool like His Royal Highness who will be kicked to death by a horse......"

"Ah...... Ha? ”

I don't understand what this sentence means, when have I ever given a small favor?

"Also...... In other words, His Royal Highness just does what he wants, and there is no need to ...... Don't worry about me, but ...... Anyway, even if I don't do this, I won't be able to escape the fate of being used as a slave to vent ** [beep], and I won't thank His Royal Highness the Prince of Beasts for this, sooner or later, I will be forced to get pregnant because I use up the contraceptive pills left, and maybe I will suffer a shameful pregnant woman game......"

This yellow maid lowered her head, and a series of yellow jokes broke out like a big auction, but it gave people the feeling that her face did not change in the past, but she was panicked and incoherent...... Well, yes, it's like tsundere.

However, in this stammering arrogance, there is always a touch of powerlessness and sadness that cannot be released.

Seeing her expression, I finally understood what she was trying to say, it should be mentioning the request she made yesterday to "I hope not to cause harm to that little girl no matter what", and after hearing what Old Man Farah just said, I was afraid that my wayward request would make me hesitate.

Really, when it's time to be willful, a little wayward, such a girl is more attractive, isn't it?

On her purple hair, which felt like high-grade silk, she rubbed it vigorously.

"Don't worry, I'm not doing this for you, if I can save a life, even if I go all out, it's not such a disgusting thing."

"Hmph."

Obviously he was already comforting her and telling her not to mind, but I don't know why, but I was snorted heavily.

Early the next morning, Kane also rushed over, just out of the World Stone teleportation, this ordinary old man seemed to be unable to bear the feeling of the world spinning, and his steps were a little erratic, which made me feel twelve points of apology.

Maybe he was willful, and he actually called the two elders who supported the entire alliance, plus the old drunkards who were already eating and mixing here, among the five permanent elders of the alliance, four of them appeared here now, and the posture was not much smaller than when they went to the Heradik clan.

Probably the Demon Fortress also received the news, with the appearance of Kane, it can be clearly felt that the defense has increased several times, I, the old man Farah and the old drunkard are okay to say, thank God if you don't mess with others, but Kane, who doesn't have any power, is different, and said unceremoniously, if he has any accidents, even, even if he is injured, it will cause great turmoil to the entire alliance, and Kane's position in the alliance is so important.

Seeing the heavily guarded atmosphere around me, I once again felt that I seemed to be willful, not that the little girl's life was not important, but in the same way, I have to apologize for letting Kane put down so many important things in his hands and rush here, and even stir up the crowd, whether it is right or wrong.

"Grandpa Kane, I'm sorry to let you go all the way here after letting go of so many things."

Still dressed in a plain, white-washed gray scholar's robe, on crutches, and a gray-bearded Kane appeared in the teleportation array, I happily greeted him.

"It's okay, it's okay, I also want to see what it is like to make that stingy old man helpless."

He smiled kindly, and after my persuasion was fruitless, everyone came directly to the Mage Guild, and as soon as they met with Old Man Farah, these two old rivals who did not look at each other immediately aroused fierce sparks.

In the evening, when Kane and Old Man Farah finally finished their studies and came out of the real room with tired and solemn looks, I hurriedly greeted them.

"Wu, you did a good job this time, if you hadn't discovered it in time, the alliance might have suffered huge losses."

Kane, who looked tired, patted me on the shoulder seriously and praised.

"What's going on?"

In normal times, I would definitely be happy and humble, but now hearing this kind of words makes me feel an inexplicable panic.

"Let's talk somewhere else."

Old man Farah made a look, and the group of four, including Jeroka, came to a soundproof study of the Mage Guild.

"Grandpa Kane, what exactly did you find?"

"This ......"

The two men looked at each other, and finally, Kane coughed a few times.

"This time the situation is very strict, if you don't find out in time, then, it is very likely that this place will directly face the impact of a world-level monster, and when the time comes, ......"

The voice stopped, but everyone present could imagine that although the adventurers of the Second World Demon Fortress were very strong, they were still too far behind the level of the World Power, not to mention that there were still tens of millions of civilians in this castle, and an enemy of the World Power level, even if it was placed in any area of the Third World, it would be a catastrophe.

"But...... Why, World Force level monsters? I don't quite understand what you mean, how can you be sure that crystal fragment will definitely be able to summon a monster of the world power level? ”

Shaking my head, I tried to shake the confusion out of my brain.

"It's not OK, the summoned monster, it's not the world power level." Kane's slightly narrowed eyes flashed with a hint of solemnity.

"I don't understand it even more when you say that."

"Hehehe, don't worry, listen to us slowly, you will understand, Wu, you must still think that the crystal fragment is still in a latent state and has not exploded, right?"

"Isn't it?"

I asked rhetorically, "If it had already erupted, wouldn't the monster have appeared?" Where exactly? Or is that girl really a monster? ”

Sitting on the side, listening attentively to our Uihua's Jeroka, the tail finger holding the teacup couldn't help but start to tremble as she said this.

"No, that little girl is an ordinary human being, definitely not a monster."

Kane took a sip of his tea and gathered his thoughts before continuing.

"Let's start from the beginning, Wu, you should know that there is a monster in Harlogas called the Stinky Filthy."

"Smelly filthy, well, of course I know, I've had a lot of [dealings]." I nodded.

The Stinky Filthy, the unique monster of Hallogas, the appearance of this monster is as if it were assembled from several different kinds of parts, the head is a demonic skeleton, connected to the body of a crimpy fish bone, and the part that should be taken for granted is the tail of the fish, and it is replaced by a wriggling round belly, such a strange and twisted body, floating in the air, in one sentence, that is, disgusting from head to tail.

Of course, this monster is not most famous for its appearance, in terms of disgusting corpse spitting monsters, on ugliness and ugly monsters, it is not its turn to be the boss, the most memorable thing about this monster is its ability to make demons retreat.

From its round belly, a kind of life form called the Pain Worm can be generated, these life forms will be secretly implanted into the demon's body by the stinky filthy, and then quickly burrow into the brain part, relying on absorbing the demon's evil consciousness and negative feelings for food, continue to grow, when the sucking enough strength, or the parasite dies, it will not hesitate to eat away the brain, and then break out of the brain, looking for a new host.

This kind of behavior, it is a matter of course to find the hatred of the demon, and although the pain worm cannot be implanted in the adventurer's body under normal circumstances, it can also cause a lot of damage, especially the mental encroachment and impact, so this kind of monster is still not liked by the adventurer, and it can be described as a monster that is free from the boundary line.

As soon as Kane mentioned the Stinking Filth and thought of the abilities of this monster, an answer came to my mind.

"You mean ......"

"That's right, it's the Pain Worm, that little girl, who was boarded by a Pain Worm." Following my words, Kane said slowly in a heavy tone.

"Why is this happening, doesn't it mean that these pain worms will only look for demons as lodgers?"

"That's not absolute." Kane shook his head.

"This kind of assumption will arise, firstly, because the adventurer's mental strength is strong, the will is strong, and it is difficult for the pain worm to invade; The second point is that the Pain Worm feeds on evil intentions and negative feelings, and the adventurer obviously can't provide it with much food, while the demons are all evil people with evil hearts, and it stands to reason that the Pain Worm will not do the thankless work of the parasitic adventurer. ”

"Then why did it parasitize on that girl?"

"yes, why? At first, the miser and I were puzzled, but we quickly found the reason. ”

Speaking of this, Kane glared at Old Man Farrah, as if to say, it's your turn.

"Ahem, what we found is that this girl has a very good spiritual potential hidden in her, that is to say, her spiritual power is very strong, if she can cultivate it well in the future, she will definitely be able to become an excellent mage......"

"Don't go off-topic"

Seeing that the old man was gushing endlessly, and there was a lecture that explained to us a whole set of how to practice a good mage, Kane and I hurriedly glared and shouted.

"You guys, don't you care about the future of the alliance at all? Like these excellent seedlings, they are all the top backbones of the alliance after the alliance. ”

Dissatisfied with Kane's interruption and me, Old Man Farrah blew his beard as well, but quickly let it go, sighing for a long time.

"It's a pity, a great talent......"

"What is the reason?" Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning.

"The reason for the Painful Worm Lodge is, first, it is very likely that when the outbreak began, the little girl was relatively close, second, the little girl did not have the slightest resistance and could be easily invaded, and third, the little girl's mental power is strong and it is possible to cultivate delicious food."

Pointing to his fingers one by one, Old Man Farah said.

"However, there are still two problems in this, and the old bookworm and I can't explain them clearly, if you want to know, you probably have to work hard."

"What's the problem?"

"First, the pain worm, you are aware of it, the great power contained in the crystal shard."

Last night, the bored old man Farah borrowed the skull biscuit of Jeluka and tinkered with it all night, and returned it early in the morning, and I don't know if it was out of order.

"I feel it, at least it's Kurast, the regeneration demon Selsen is at the same level." I nodded, disapprovingly.

That's right, you really don't have to care, the Pain Worm is just a very low-level monster, their strength is not even much higher than the flesh beast, even if it is an entity in the third world, it only has the same intelligence as a beast, in other words, this kind of monster is not a combat type monster at all, so, even if it has the power of the regeneration demon Selson, but its own racial disadvantage is not something that can make up for it, and the regeneration demon Selsen was killed by me, not to mention a pain worm of the same level.

"Pain worms are monsters that are angry with people and gods, and even other demons can't tolerate them, so they are bound to kill them quickly, so generally speaking, their strength is low, and they will be easily killed, and they will not become a big climate."

"You mean ......"

"Well, this painful worm can grow to this kind of course, I think it is absolutely impossible to rely on luck against the sky, don't be careless and underestimate the enemy."

"I see, what about the second one?" My expression also changed from the original contempt to the cautious.

"As for the second one, the old bookworm also said just now, the pain worm is based on evil consciousness and negative feelings as food, strong spiritual power, can only provide excellent and abundant food production tools, if the host itself does not have evil consciousness or negative feelings, it will not become food."

"Wait, you mean that little girl has a strong sense of evil or negative feelings in her heart?"

"That's right, that's kind of it." Farah nodded.

I lowered my head and pondered, if the evil consciousness was to appear, it would not be possible for such a little girl to appear, but if it was said that negative feelings were abandoned, abandoned by her parents, and suffered for so many years, it would not be surprising if there were.

"The demon's mind is evil and turbid, even if there is a strong evil consciousness and negative feelings in the heart, for the pain worm, it is like a pot of porridge mixed with sand, and although the human spiritual power is weak, it is very pure, for the pain worm, it is like a small dish of delicacies from the mountains and seas, perhaps for this reason, the pain worm chose the little girl as the parasite."

"Is there any way to fix it?"

When I asked the question, there was silence in the study.

Actually, I know what the easiest way to do it, but does it really have to be done?

"Can you find a way to get that damn pain worm out?" With a glimmer of hope, I asked.

However, what you get is a disappointed shaking of the head.

"If the little girl is a little stronger, for example, an adventurer, maybe there is a way, in addition, if the strength of the pain worm is a little lower, it is not impossible to give it a try, but a powerful pain worm invades the brain of a weak girl, and the result of this is that the two are completely integrated, which is beyond our ability, and if we force it out, it will only make the little girl's life disappear."

Putting down the empty teacup, Kane looked apologetically at me and Jeluka in a daze.

"I'm sorry, but this time, I and the miser can't do anything."

Yesterday it rained and blew, and I had a fever early this morning, and I took leave to rest at home for a whole day, and now my brain is still a little dizzy, woo~~~

PS: On the last day of the double monthly pass, let's give it a little more effort, full game
