233. Watch the Moon
The second soldier who died was almost completely fractured, which is exactly what he had done to kill the butterfly.
The corpses of the two butterflies remained intact, with no points of light dissipating after the effects of conventional magic, but there was no doubt that the butterflies had something to do with magic.
Nebet knew this, and when he was an apprentice to a court mage a few years ago, he had taken a mission and brought the curse of the loss of life upon the half-blood princess. The magic has a random life-passing effect on the target, and the result for the princess is that every tear she sheds thereafter will turn into a butterfly, which is a real life - in the way that it takes her life, the ingestion and passage of the soul level is not a simple healing or potion that can be remedied.
The number of butterflies flying in front of him should have reached half of the life of the curse in Nebet's cognition... She shouldn't have been alive at all.
The soldiers asked about the sightings and whether anyone had spotted the enemy, and the scene was chaotic for a while.
"Silence!" The orc roared, his voice shaking the leaves and the soldiers silent.
The road in front of the tavern fell silent, and the sound of hoofs could be heard in the direction where butterflies were flying.
Everyone turned to see a young girl on horseback.
With short straight black hair, turquoise eyes, and pointed ears slightly shorter than the elves' face, such a young girl, wrapped in a shawl to keep out the wind, dragged all the way to the horse's back, making it vaguely obvious that she was wearing slim clothes mixed with leather armor and fabric, and her posture was flexible.
The weapon he wears at his waist is a katana.
"Watching the Moon..."Nebet's mouth was slightly open, his eyes widened, he had spent years searching for his target, and he had finally seen the deity by himself.
There can be no mistake, her posture ...
The expressionless girl looked like a sculpture of ice, tears flowed down her cheeks, and when they fell, the teardrops turned into blue fluorescent butterflies, flying around blindly.
Although she was crying, the girl's nose and cheeks were not flushed, and there was no feeling of pear blossoms bringing rain, it was more like a fake cry that controlled the tears to flow at will.
Then, the butterflies surged in the direction of her fingers.
That's the goal, all the soldiers recognize these characteristics, watch the moon, the woman who was rewarded with thousands of gold coins by the Vermilion Kingdom, as long as she kills, you can get a large reward, this credit belongs to today's detachment.
Although it was a bounty, the bounty order was not posted. Because of its resemblance to the late queen, the high-level people were afraid of causing unnecessary conjecture among the people, so only the castle and the military knew about it.
The soldiers raised their crossbows and prepared to shoot, but Nebet was not going to stop them, there was still a lot of space between the butterflies, and the crossbow arrows could pass through them to the place where the moon watched.
The centurion in the team glanced at Nebet and nodded in response.
"Shoot!" The centurion also drew his bow and ordered, and everyone was waiting for this moment.
The moment the crossbow arrows shot out in unison, Shou Yue made a retraction movement, her five fingers closed, and all the butterflies gathered in front of her, and they were suddenly dense.
The arrows pass through the bodies of some butterflies, causing the equivalent of damage to butterflies to return to the perpetrators.
Shattered and splattered with blood, a quarter of the soldiers died.
"What's that?" Long Ge arrived late and landed on the roof of the tavern.
Next to her was Xia Zuo, who was standing there quietly. Xia Zuo's appearance and observation, no one noticed, and now that he is in a panic, no one will pay attention to it.
"The severed head snake," Xia Zuo sighed. In his field of vision, if he looks closely at each butterfly, HP bars will appear above his head, and if he doesn't look at it, he won't.
According to the original setting, creatures like bugs that kill with one hit will not have HP, and not even smaller birds.
And after everything becomes real, the small creatures have a biological structure, can be injured, can also be healed, and no longer kill with a random hit, but still do not show HP, they are no different from the creatures that exist in the world that Xia Zuo came from.
So the butterfly showing HP at this moment is very strange in Xia Zuo's opinion. The amount of blood lost by any butterfly is equal to the amount of blood that the person who injured it will suffer, and not everyone dies by killing the butterfly, and only those who break their wings survive half-paralyzed.
"The Severed Snake?" Long Ge looked at Xia Zuo in surprise, "Is that the one!?" The king whose neck was broken by me? ”
When she was in the capital of Andu, she listened in detail from Xia Zuo about how to solve the magic "Severed Head Serpent", and solved the king wearing the "guardian necklace" in a way that almost ended up in the same way. The magic that the guardian necklace was cast was none other than the "Severed Head Serpent".
"In principle, it should be this magic," Xia Zuo said solemnly, "and King Charles's guardian necklace was made by Sangilf, and it is entirely possible that Sangilf would protect the moon in the same way..."
"It doesn't look the same either, it's the butterflies that are really dangerous." Long Ge looked at it carefully.
"Maybe it's a variant of magic, I don't know." Xia Zuo's heart was furious, because the skill introduction of "Severed Head Snake" couldn't explain the skill principle of those butterflies... Is there a principle to magic?
"What now?" Long Ge is ready to attack at any time.
"Wait a minute, it seems that His Highness doesn't need our help yet." Xia Zuo said. I also want to find out what kind of skills the watchman possesses. Taking a step back, it wouldn't take time to go to her side to rescue, and standing here now is no different than standing next to her.
During the first wave of arrows, the flock of butterflies blocked the front, providing shelter for the watchman, and the arrows that pierced through the butterfly swarm only hit a patch of air, and the watchmoon had already fled to the side.
Under the pressure of Nebet, the remaining soldiers fought hard for a second wave of shooting.
"The butterfly is very slow, and now she is far away from the flock of butterflies!" Nebet judged. Although he was also very curious about why the butterfly that the curse brought to the moon watchman reflected damage, it was not difficult to find the magic spell from the corpse as a priority for her now.
The second arrow attack was obviously not as neat as the first, and the rain of arrows passed by the butterfly flock, and did not touch a single one.
Dangerous. Xia Zuo judged that he was about to "teleport" to support, but the light emitted from Shou Wangyue's body attracted his attention.
Watchmoon drew his sword, and the azure light of her body separated from her, merging into a humanoid "ghost" with a silhouette light.
The ghost wears an oriental feminine full body armor, a helmet that covers the upper half of her face and even her eyes, and only the tip of her nose and delicate lips are exposed.
Armed with a katana nearly identical to Watchmoon's, the Ghost moved quickly away from Watchmoon's body before floating beside her master.
The ghost cooperates with the watchman, swinging his sword continuously and skillfully, slashing down all the arrows that come at him. Some arrows cut horizontally, some arrows split vertically... Not even the slightest fragment hurt the horse under the crotch.
"Guardian summoning magic..."Xia Zuo said in surprise.
