The first fifty-nine chapters [The ugliest elf in history] 1/3
Monster Alley is a monster trading market street built under the petticoat street, since it is underground, it is naturally not exposed to sunlight, and it has been in dim and damp for hundreds of years, dirty and foul smell and other evil conditions, plus rats and cockroaches and other creatures are everywhere, and there are all kinds of terrifying monsters that only appear in legends, which also makes Monster Lane a place that hides dirt and dirt and stinks.
The moment Chris and the others passed through the magic wall, they came to a disgusting underground passage, with dirty water everywhere, and some cockroaches and rats scurrying around from time to time.
When the hellboy saw the situation in the underground tunnel, he frowned and said, "Don't tell me this is Monster Alley!" ”
"It's just the aisle." Alice pouted.
Major Bendemio next to him followed: "This is just a passage in Monster Alley, and we have to cross this passage to enter Monster Alley. ”
"Why don't you hurry up? I don't want to be around cockroaches and rats here. The Hellboy led the way.
"You ......" Before Alice could open her mouth, she was stopped by Major Bendemio next to her, shook her head, smiled apologetically at Chris, and took Alice's hand and followed him behind Hellboy and walked into Monster Alley.
Chris didn't care about this at all, after he entered the space inside the magic wall, he began to scan everything here with his mental power, but he also found that after passing through this dirty passageway, there was a hole in it.
A huge underground square, not as dim as imagined, not so dirty, at least the whole square is surrounded by a strange candle lamp, although not as bright and thorough as modern electric lights, but it is also much brighter than ordinary candles, and the range of illumination seems to be a little more extensive.
The entire huge underground square is divided into more than a dozen small streets, the center of each street is blocked by pillars or walls that support the space, and both sides of the street are densely occupied by vendors selling some mysterious items, which is a bit like the picture of the market in the past era, those long strange-shaped creatures, are all out of a large cloth, spread on the ground, put the items on sale, and then passers-by pick and choose by the way to bargain with the hawker.
Chris followed Major Bendaimio and the others through one small street after another, and saw many, many strange creatures, in addition to the werewolves and bats like the ones I saw at the Anomalous Biodefense Headquarters in New York before, there were also monsters that looked like octopuses and pigs.
If these monsters were expected by Chris, then he was not surprised when a monster about three meters tall and looked like a neon sign from hundreds of years ago.
That's right, it's the kind of beautiful street lamp with European style in the West, this street lamp monster has three heads, each head is a street lamp in Chris's opinion, especially the eyes that are like the lights inside, he was very surprised, I didn't expect there to be this kind of monster that is not human or beast!
Alice, who had been paying attention to Chris, kindly explained when she saw that he had been staring at the "street lamp monster" that walked past: "They are street lamp monsters, created by a famous British alchemy wizard in the middle of the last century, because they are the same as the street lamps outside, so they are one of the few monsters that can often see the sun." ”
"Alchemical products?"
Chris frowned, he never expected that the magic of this world would be so weird and powerful, it could actually make a monster from a street lamp, and when this "street lamp" passed by himself and others just now, he deliberately tilted a little to the right, obviously deliberately avoiding it to avoid rubbing.
"Well, that's right, it's a product of alchemy." Alice deliberately left Bendaimio and Hellboy in front of her, and walked side by side with Chris, continuing to explain as she walked: "Strictly speaking, they were also human beings in their lifetime, but after being collected by the alchemy wizard, they became the ghosts they are now. ”
The soul of man! Chris was surprised, and hurriedly used his mental power to perceive the street lamp monster that had gradually gone away, and was surprised to find that there were three different translucent phantoms in the three lamps of the "street lamp monster", and its appearance could be vaguely seen, a middle-aged man, a middle-aged woman, and a teenage boy.
Alice, who was unaware of Chris's changes, continued: "The streetlight monster who walked past just now is a well-known figure in Monster Alley, and they are quite pitiful, and they voluntarily became such inhuman monsters. More than a hundred years ago, when there was a war in Europe, a couple fled with their children in embarrassment, but the war still affected them, a cannonball killed the couple's child, the couple was in pain, and it happened that the mother knew a little witchcraft, so she tried her best to find a very powerful alchemist, wanting to leave their children's souls and stay with the couple. ”
The alchemist agreed to his mother's request, but only if the couple cooperated with the wizard in an experiment, and the couple agreed, and in the end their souls and their children remained together forever. The street lamp monster just now has three lights, and the average street lamp monster only has one lamp, and that's because this street lamp monster has three souls in its body, yes, the souls of the couple and their children. ”
Being able to retain the soul, and can also use soul alchemy to make some non-human and non-beast monsters, no matter how you look at it, it is a little more clever than the magic of the Marvel world, so it seems that the descendant of Merlin, who has lived for more than 800 years, should be no worse than the ancient one, right? ?
While he was still thinking about it, the Hellboy who was walking in front suddenly yelled: "Don't run! ”
Immediately, Chris saw the Hellboy striding after a mouse-like monster.
"Don't run!"
The Hellboy roared while chasing, and by the way, he completely beat the messy porridge of the surrounding road occupation behavior, which was disturbing for a while, and all kinds of monster vendors roared angrily.
"Oh my God!" Major Bendamio, who was in a sluggish state, grabbed his thick hair, swallowed and foamed, and watched all this with a shocked expression.
Chris said casually: "If you don't stop him, I'm afraid that the wizard you said before who has lived for eight hundred years will come out to trouble the baron, and in this case, I am afraid that the purpose of our trip will be exposed." ”
Bendamio came back to his senses and hurriedly said to Alice: "Alice, you help take care of this gentleman, until I come back, it's best for both of you not to leave anywhere, if necessary, you can leave here!" ”
"I see, you go after that big idiot."
Alice looked at the destruction of Hellboy with a look of excitement, she didn't expect that this demon agent from the United States would really dare to act unscrupulously in Monster Alley.
After Bendamio chased the hellboy out of here, Alice looked at Chris beside him and said, "I haven't had a chance to introduce myself before, my name is Alice Monahan." ”
"Chris Co."
Chris replied simply, and set his eyes on this magical monster alley, what he saw and heard along the way was no less than the time he went to the Void Land before.
There are also many strange creatures, but one is an alien in an alien galaxy, and the other is a legendary and mysterious creature that has been circulating in human civilization.
"Huh!"
Suddenly, Chris frowned, his eyes stared at the white-haired man who was sitting in a messy shed about thirty meters away, this person's appearance was very familiar, think about it carefully, isn't it the brother of the ugliest elf princess in the history of Hell Baron 2 that he has ever seen?!
