Chapter Seventy-Nine: The Strange Change
The envoys left the village of Berg, and the Cyan Sword mercenaries had a bunch of handmade food made by Hood's wife, Maria, such as dried sausages, bacon, and beer.
The crowd continued southward along the Isar River, very slowly.
On the one hand, it is because so many people need food, clothing, housing and transportation, they need a lot of luggage, and there is no car as a substitute, so they can't lift their feet.
On the other hand, the envoys themselves were not very urgent, they moved cautiously during the day, and began to camp in place as soon as it was dark, giving people the feeling that they were deliberately vigilant about something.
After nearly a week's effort, the envoy team finally entered the mountains of Akhnau. In the evening of the same day, seeing that the sun was about to set, the attendants refused to leave, claiming that they were vulnerable to the attack of the extraordinary creatures in the mountains when they were marching at night, and asked to set up camp and set up sentry posts until dawn tomorrow.
Viscount Heinrich had no choice but to agree to the knights' squire's request for rest and recuperation after communicating with the regimental commander Asker.
Over there, Mi'er, Eleanor, and Sidlifa had already returned from hunting. Armed with an ultra-long-range sniper rifle, Mi'er has a vision of extraordinary abilities and is almost the best hunter in the mountains, while Eleanor and Sidlifa's power armor gives them the strength to carry large prey.
A few deer, a few wild boars, and even a bear were half dragged and half carried back.
The Weissbach guards skillfully took their prey, disemboweled, entrailed, and grilled on a rack, while the offals were thrown into a cauldron to boil blood and seasoned with salt and wine.
Soon the aroma of the barbecue spreads, and the golden fat of the meat continues to pour out from the brown tender skin under the high temperature, dripping into the fire below, making a beeping and popping sound.
Mia slipped through several grills, brushing small brushes of pepper and salt over the roast as Asker commanded.
The knight squires in the Wolf envoy on the opposite side couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva when they smelled the tempting aroma wafting in.
Although they walked together in one team, they each ate their own dry food. The Crimson Sword shared a meal with the Weissbach guards, and the Wolf family servants tended to Viscount Heinrich's dinner, theoretically feeding the knights' squires.
However, these knight squires had already tensed their nerves, where would they dare to eat the food prepared by outsiders? What if someone poisons it?
Therefore, they could only swallow their saliva, smell the aroma of roasted meat on the side of the blue sword, and the taste of the food cooked on Viscount Heinrich's side, while silently nibbling on the dry food in their hands.
Nuo cut off the grilled meat strips with a knife in his hand and distributed them to the regiment commander, the girls and the guards, and he couldn't help but take a bite to taste the taste.
It's okay, although it has a bit of a fishy smell that hasn't been removed, but under the seasoning that Asker has prepared himself, it looks like it has a natural flavor.
She narrowed her eyes slightly, and suddenly heard a voice behind her:
"Miss Noor?"
Nuo immediately turned around vigilantly, and saw that the person who came was actually Adams, the black-robed wizard who tried to use his sequence ability to make trouble in the arena of the last knight fight.
"What do you want to do?" She silently took a half step back and clenched the knife in her hand, only to be shocked to find that Eleanor and Sidlifa, who were beside her, did not react, but continued to eat leaning on the power armor.
"Don't worry, I have no ill will." Black-robed Addams raised his hands, signaling that he had no weapons in his hands, and then said tentatively, "I haven't seen you for a few days, and you have been promoted to 'Mind II'?"
"And me." Medea walked over and said disdainfully, "'Blind Spot', this kind of trick, is it necessary?" ”
"Heh, I don't want to expose what happened to me." Black-robed Adams sneered and said, "Who knows if there is a black hand in my group of 'companions' who intends to cut my throat with a knife at night." Besides, are your companions enough to be trusted? ”
"There is absolutely no problem with our companions." Nuo said angrily.
"Hopefully, in a few years you'll be able to say that right." Black-robed Adams said disdainfully, "The so-called transcendent path is a lonely path in search of power, and there is no one to trust except yourself, because they will plot the transcendent characteristics within you at any time. ”
"I don't think Mr. Adams came here to teach us the experience of the elders, did he?" Medea interrupted.
"Of course, I'm here to find cooperation."
"Cooperation?"
"In order to protect myself, I have to do this." Black-robed Addams had a gloomy face.
"You only have the mind II, and you can't see the dark shadows that hovered over the edge of the camp. However, my mental and physical vision can clearly see that there are more and more of them, and they are swarming, and they are peeking at this side with malice......" The black-robed Adams said in one breath, and paused, "I'm sure that the mastermind behind the scenes is plotting an attack. ”
"I didn't feel malicious." Medea said to Noh in the channel.
"Do you have proof?" Noe asked.
"Evidence? Of course, I knew you would ask this. Black-robed Addams whispered, "I can attest that I feel their hunger, the beasts, prostrate in the darkness, thirsting for our flesh. ”
"Didn't you harvest your prey? Tear off a hind leg, not much, and throw it into the distant night, and after a while, we'll look at it again. ”
Medea and Nou looked at each other.
If it's just a little experiment, of course it's fine.
So No walked up to a roasted deer and tore off what was left of its hind legs.
"Hey, I think this deer should have a leg." Sidlifa suddenly noticed that the weight on the grill had become lighter.
"You must have eaten it." Eleanor said lightly.
"Not really!" Sidlifa exclaimed aggrievedly.
From beginning to end, the two girls did not notice that there were still three people standing next to them, which stemmed from the interference of the "blind spot of the mind" on human perception.
Adams took the deer's leg, squirmed in his throat for a moment (swallowing), and threw it into the darkness of the distant campfire.
Next, the faces of the three changed at the same time.
Dense mental bodies poured out of the darkness, swirling around where the deer's legs had fallen, and bloodthirsty, wild, evil, and cruel emotions drifted around.
Adams hurriedly pulled a burning stick from under the grill and threw it at the spot again.
The small minds quickly avoided the throwing light source, and the flaming wooden bars fell next to the deer's legs, and the pupils of the crowd shrank sharply, and cold sweat trickled behind them.
The deer's leg lay alone in the barren land outside the camp, and there was not a single strip of flesh left on it, except for the dense countless tooth marks, as if they had been bitten by rodents.
