Chapter Thirty-Seven: A Leisurely and Brief Routine
The ghoul's armor is black, and the surface looks as black as black crystal, but there are some silver rune carvings on it, which looks quite exquisite, and it is clear that the craftsmanship level of the forge has long exceeded the expert level - this is only second-order armor.
The ghoul in black armor looks like a ....... The 'Alien' in the famous science fiction movie is the same, except that it has no tail, its body is full of contours, and its round head is flanked by two scythe-like barbs sticking out backwards to serve as decoration, as are its shoulder armor and hind legs.
Finally, its face is also wrapped in iron armor, but its eyes are full of sharp red, and in its mouth, every piece of exposed teeth is wrapped in black armor, as long as it does not open its mouth, it can hardly see what it looks like inside.
This is the ghoul's full-body runic armor, which looks a bit like a cricket, but the armor is so beautiful that it is blinding, and most importantly, it is said to be resilient, meaning that even if the ghoul turns into a gorilla, the armor will stretch like a straitjacket without breaking.
"Hmm......" Locke held his arm, pinched his chin, looked at the ghoul sitting on the ground in front of him and raised his hind legs from time to time and kept scratching his body like a canine, and asked strangely, "This guy has lice on his body??" ”
Can't you?
"In order to better reflect the camouflage effect, we have added canine features to the armor, do you need to introduce them?"
Locke waved his hand and said, "Give me another 20 sets of this armor, and send it to the cemetery next door when it's done, and tell the management over there, just say that this is for the next few ghouls." ”
"Yes. Is there anything else we can do for you? ”
Locke turned his head to look at the clay puppet in the distance, eager to try.
"Bring me armor too, the request is ......"
Due to the high requirements and lack of basic materials, it took a few days to complete it - the missing parts had to be made up with runes, which can be a time-consuming task.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Locke took Anne and the ghoul out of the forge.
On the way to the library, Anne saw that the ghoul in black armor next to her kept plopping on the ground, which was quite interesting, and took out a bone and threw it vigorously to see how the guy reacted.
The ghoul's gaze kept moving with the bones, but instead of passing it immediately, he looked up at Locke in the hope of obtaining approval, and at the moment when Locke nodded, he immediately rushed over like a leopard that had opened the gates, which caused the little girl on her shoulder to giggle and laugh.
In the end, instead of taking the bone in his mouth, the ghoul simply crushed and swallowed it, and then crawled over satisfied, and Anne didn't say anything about it—she probably didn't know about games like puppy frisbee......
Locke looked at the ghoul's armor and felt that the rune armor on Akras should also be from the forge, but it looked much more advanced, and it should have been forged after the forge was upgraded.
"I don't know when it will take to upgrade the castle to the ninth order...... Forget it, let's take it one step at a time. Locke sighed faintly, and to his surprise, Anne's inquiring voice would normally ring in his ears at this time, but now......
Locke turned his head strangely and saw that the little girl was holding a pile of bones and throwing them into the distance, while the ghoul was biting, crushing, swallowing, and sticking out her tongue at great speed...... This made the little one smile even brighter......
Locke suddenly covered his cheeks and shook his head, throwing it like this, no number of skeletons was bad enough.
After biting countless bones, the ghoul, who was designated as the chief stormtrooper's captain, finally learned his first skill: to bring back the bones that had been thrown.
Simple and happy days pass day by day, these days, Locke is waiting for the ghoul to be produced, while he is not idle, he has been soaking in the library to study all kinds of literature and materials, after all, his previous knowledge is some simple and simple game cognition and demon encyclopedia, and the real nutrition is all in the big library.
This is the place where the heritage accumulated by hundreds of generations of demon kings is located, even after countless battles to destroy the city, the library has been proudly surviving until now, and has not been harmed at all, what is the reason? Locke also wanted to know, but no one answered, so he had to look for it in the library.
"Wow! This time, remember to bring five bones in your mouth, you can't bite them! ”
"Shhhhh
In the hallway of the library, Anne, dressed as a little maid, shook her bones at the ghoul lying on the ground in front of her, like a bear child, and ordered in a serious manner: "Go quickly! Immediately throwing it, the ghoul immediately pounced and rushed over.
Locke, who was smoking books out of the bookshelf, frowned and glanced to the side, and said, "There is still noise in the library tube. ”
When the little girl who originally wanted to chase the ghoul around, she directly stood up the little wings on her back and flapped them quickly, and she disappeared all of a sudden.
Looking at the little ghost head flying away, Locke smiled helplessly, and then took out the half-drawn book.
At this moment, a thin piece of parchment fell out.
"Huh?" Locke looked down at the paper on the ground, leaned over to pick it up, took his hand and looked left and right, and suddenly felt speechless.
This is a summoning book, a summoning book made of parchment used to summon low-level demons.
A normal demon summoning book, the thicker it is, the more it represents the ability that the demon has, past deeds, what wishes have been fulfilled for someone, etc., in layman's terms, just like a work resume.
Correspondingly, the thin paper means that the demon has no abilities and qualifications that can be used, and this kind of summoning book is generally not looked down upon by high-level mages, and low-level ones can't understand it, which is in a very awkward position.
On top of that, the parchment, which had been stuffed into a bookcase in the Historical Documents section of the Castlevania Library, had apparently been fooled by someone.
Thinking of this, Locke turned his head to look at the stuffed back of the Great Demon Summoning Book, which was thicker than the other, and then looked down at the things in his hand, shook his head and smiled.
"Master? What is it? Anne's voice rang out in the back.
Locke turned around and saw the little girl riding on the back of the ghoul, holding the rope that went around its mouth, as if she was going to ride it like a horse—from a dog to a horse, it was a big step, wasn't it?
Locke smiled, handed it over, and asked, "Do you understand?" ”
"I'll take ......a look," Anne said, frowning, "yes...... Epicure? ”
"Warning! Humanity is approaching! Humanity is approaching! As Anne read the script, the cacophony of the alarm system echoed around her...... (To be continued)
