Act 228 The Newborn Seed
"Hey, your name is ...... Setty: Right? β
The main entrance of the Cat and Beard Hotel opened a small gap, and Roman peeked out half of his eyes, looking at the slightly lost girl in front of him with a deep sense of curiosity.
She didn't care how strange it was for a big living person to suddenly appear on the avenue outside the inn at this time, everyone went out, and no one chatted with her, Brando was not there, and with Dilferry's physical condition, Bai Lu didn't let her disturb the latter, as for her very interested in the prime minister's daughter, who seemed to be very smart, but unfortunately the latter only said a few words to her and was unwilling to deal with her.
She had spent half an hour observing the river flowing outside the inn, but it was always tireless, and she was glad that someone had come to her door to chat with her.
Seti shuddered for a moment before nodding palely.
"Did you lose anything?"
"I didn't ...... No. β
"But you don't usually come to the hotel at night."
"I ......"
Roman suddenly thought it was funny, opened the door and grabbed the latter's hand, pulled her in, and then winked at the latter triumphantly: "Don't be surprised, Brando told me to be cautious." β
The poor girl was so frightened that her heart stopped beating, and her mind was chaotic: "Didn't you be cautious?" β
But the latter didn't care: "Seti is his own person, so I think it shouldn't matter." β
The Merchant's enthusiasm and unreserved trust made Seti's heart pound for a while, which was not at all what the latter had expected, and she was at a loss and filled with guilt when she thought that the Eruin should be fierce and arrogant, rather than happy to regard her as one of her own.
On the one hand, it is the motivation for revenge in the heart. On the other hand, he can't equate the person in front of him with the object of revenge.
"Do you have anything fun with you?" Roman noticed curiously the latter's hand holding his chest.
"I didn't ...... No! Seti's face turned white with fright, and her forehead was wet, and she was in a cold sweat, but fortunately the latter didn't notice it, but stared intently at her arms.
"And what are you here for?"
"I'm ......," Setti stammered, "Uncle Kent is out, and I'll see if you need anything." Kitchen...... There was ...... in the kitchen"
"That's just right," Roman interrupted her, "come and talk to me." β
"What?"
"I'm not hungry, but I'm bored, so let's talk to me."
"I ...... Good...... Okay, so why don't you drink, drink some wine, kitchen...... Cider in the kitchen. It seemed as if Seti's mind had finally turned around and he had said something complete.
"Cider." Roman pondered for a moment and nodded, "But you have to hurry up then." β
The girl breathed a sigh of relief, and walked in the direction of the kitchen in a daze. She didn't know if she should go on or not, but she had to find a separate room anyway.
However, no sooner had she moved than a white shadow flashed in the darkness, and a white fox landed gracefully in front of her.
She was startled as she looked at the creature standing at the table not far away, which stared at her with his head held high and a cold gleaming gaze, giving a strange illusion. As if it were wise.
Seti was wondering about this, when suddenly the white mist spoke. Cold tone:
"What's in your arms?"
Setti's whole body seemed to have been hit by an arrow, and froze in place, not because the fox could speak, but because of the content of the words, the cold and unquestionable tone made her lose even room for surprise, and she felt the blood from head to toe coagulated.
"I ......"
"White mist. There was nothing in Seti's arms, and I had asked her earlier. β
This unintentional remark made the girl feel ashamed, but Bai Wu interrupted the latter angrily: "Shut up." Roman pouted his lips very aggrievedly, and Bai Wu turned his head to look at the waitress of the inn, and his narrow eyes flashed with wisdom: "I don't know who instigated you." Little girl, but it seems that you shouldn't know much, I recommend that you don't be fooled, those guys who are playing with intrigues behind their backs will not have any good intentions. β
It paused: "In her eyes, she doesn't think about the life or death of a little person like you." β
Bai Wu subconsciously thought that it was naturally Her Majesty the Queen of Rustea who instigated Seti behind her back, so she said so.
Setty was shaken by the words, or rather, she had hesitated, and she stood there in a daze, and it was a long time before she shuddered and took the thing out of her bosom.
In her hand was a palm-sized test tube, plugged with a wooden stopper, filled with a peculiar liquid that had previously been inconspicuous when placed under the cloth, but when it was taken out into the darkness, it emitted a cold fluorescent color of ice.
Fluorescence radiated from Setti's hand and spread throughout the dark inn, outlining every table and chair in the hall.
Roman stared at this scene with wide eyes, and couldn't help but let out a curious voice: "Huh? β
The monotonous note made Setty hang her head sarcastically, thinking that the latter was ridiculing her for lying earlier, but in fact Miss Merchant didn't think about it in that direction at all, she just thought it was funny.
"She told you to poison this thing?" Bai Wu still squinted his eyes, and guessed the other party's statement very wisely, "She must not have told you that the whole inn will be alarmed when you take out this thing." β
Setty was also stunned, obviously she didn't expect this 'poison' to make such a big move, she was even stupid at the moment and knew that she was being used, such poison would kill her before it killed someone else - no wonder the two secret cultists who came with her didn't allow her to take out this poison beforehand.
Thinking of the two secret cultists who came with her, her scalp suddenly tingled, those cultists were not easy to mess with, she had seen them kill people with her own eyes, she couldn't help but be a little scared and wanted to remind the two 'people' in front of her.
But at this time the white mist frowned, it thought uneasily of something, no one would use such a big poison to warn its opponent, it was very suspicious that the woman behind it had some kind of conspiracy - from beginning to end. White Mist always thought that the Silver Queen was playing tricks behind her back.
Suddenly, it said to the girl in front of it, "You'd better keep this thing farther away, I suspect it's not poison at all." β
And as if to confirm its words, before Seti could react, the bottle in his hand vibrated violently, and the glass test tube made a crisp click, and it actually cracked through the middle.
A white light shot out from between the shattered glass shards. Shoot at the merchant lady who is still dazed and ignorant on the side.
"Be careful!"
"It's the blood of the gods!" Bai Mist suddenly jumped to his feet and recognized what it was: "Damn it, this cunning woman! β
Setty turned her head with difficulty, she didn't know what the other man's mouth meant by 'cunning woman', but she saw that the white light shot out from her hand, and about three inches in front of Miss Merchant, was blocked by a layer of fluorescent white light, but it immediately exploded, and the fluorescent cyan mist spread throughout the inn at once.
She had no idea what it was. I could only subconsciously watch this scene happen, and suddenly felt some numbness in the tips of my fingers, and when I looked down, I was shocked to find that a layer of gray like a stone was spreading up her arms, they first formed countless spots, and then joined together, and it only took a moment to turn her arms into hard stones.
She hadn't had time to react yet. The petrification had spread to her neck, locking her voice in her throat. Then came the face, and Seti quickly became unconscious.
The last thing she saw was a white mist shooting out of the window like lightning.
The inn was dead silent in an instant.
In the oak grove outside the Cat & Beard Inn, an hourglass rests silently on a rock, a glimmer of light from the smooth glass surface in the moonlight.
It was facing the tall building that stood alone on the side of the avenue in the distance, until a hand picked it up.
"It's time."
Said in a hoarse voice.
Several dark shadows in the forest suddenly came to life. Writhing, one by one the Esoteric cultists came out of the bushes, and if Seti had seen this, she might have screamed in fright, the girl never dreamed that so many people would follow her.
The two people at the head were the two secret cultists who had escorted her here, one of whom had the hourglass in his hand. Some indifferently commanded the others, "To live, you should understand what the adults mean." β
Without saying a word, the cultists walked out of the woods one after another, each with a crossbow and a trap in the other, forming a circle towards the Cat and Beard Inn, but the suburban inn was frighteningly quiet at the moment, and the group walked up the avenue, and there was still no sound in the dark buildings.
The two leading Mystical Cultists glanced at each other, but they didn't say anything, it was Gaia's divine blood, one of the top three divine blood in the organization, it could be said that it was second only to the elemental divine blood, as for the legendary supreme Martha's blood, it was something that no one had ever seen.
Presumably, the people in the inn, except for the target, should have been petrified.
The face of the leader of the sect was incomprehensible, the three divine bloods were all treasured in the church, and the organization had made great progress in the study of them in recent decades, so that they could barely be used on mortals, as one of the core members, he was very curious about how the 'big man' was willing to use this kind of thing on a little human girl.
He thought to himself that he would soon get an answer.
But the closer they got to the inn, the cultists gradually noticed that something was wrong, and a trace of cyan mist was escaping from the wooden cracks in the window lattices and doors of the inn, and soon someone gradually stopped walking - the divine blood was still in a state of escape, indicating that the target may not have absorbed the divine blood.
Is it petrified?
Or did you say something unusual?
In either case, it was enough to make people cautious, and everyone turned their heads and focused their eyes on the leader of the sect, whose face also sank slightly:
This is obviously a slight difference from what was expected.
"Stop." He raised his hand and motioned for everyone to stop, but to his surprise, the others looked at him with an indescribable, horrified look.
In his eyes, the eyes of everyone present reflected a look as if they had seen a ghost.
He reacted subconsciously, only to feel a burst of scalp explosion, threw the hourglass in his hand, and was about to draw the scimitar he had hidden under the cloak with his backhand.
The scimitar was pulled out with some incredulity.
The occultist who took the lead didn't look back, and waved his backhand behind him, but instead of slashing what he imagined, he felt his hand being held by a cold palm.
The palm was not large, but it was as cold as ice, and the Secret Order cultists watched in almost shock as their right hand was torn off their bodies with a scimitar, as light as if they had broken a branch.
Then the pain came like a tide, and he screamed and fell to his knees, and in a flash of cold light, his head fell, rolling down into the dust of the avenue, and became a blur of flesh and blood, and his face was unrecognizable.
The whole process lasted only a few seconds, and before everyone present could react, the sound of qiΔ had already stopped abruptly.
Everyone subconsciously ignored the headless corpse lying on the ground, and instead looked at the woman who suddenly appeared.
It was a little girl.
At most, he was fifteen or sixteen years old, dressed in a very strong local style, he didn't look like a Cruz, with long brown hair and a broad and smooth forehead, he looked very small and cute, if it weren't for the other party's two eyes, which looked too weird.
The girl was suspended in mid-air, her long hair was windless, and she couldn't see the whites of her eyes at all, not even pupils, only pitch black, like two black holes that were constantly rotating, trying to attract people's hearts and minds.
She opened her mouth, and her voice was not at all like the crisp and lovely of Miss Merchant, but cold and hoarse, as if it naturally carried a condescending majesty:
"Mortal, what are you using this to lure me out?"
Then she frowned again, and pressed her bloody hand to her forehead, as if in great pain:
"Whew, it's so uncomfortable...... Brando......"
Except for her, no one present could make the slightest sound, and the organic spirit cultist wanted to take advantage of this opportunity to sneak away, but as soon as he moved, he suddenly screamed and fell to his knees with his head in his hands.
In front of everyone's eyes, the man's head exploded like a watermelon, red and white body fragments flew all over the sky, and the lifeless body slowly fell into the dust, twitched twice, and then did not move again.
"This ...... It's ......" Someone finally shuddered as if squeezing a few words out of his throat: "Heart...... Psychic ability, mental impact. β
Everyone present had a wave in their hearts, and the secret cultists who could participate in such an action would definitely not be peripheral cultists, as core believers, they knew many secrets that ordinary people could not reach.
In Vayend, no wizard can use psychic abilities, not even the Bugas who are the people of silver. There are only a few strange monsters with the most superficial spiritual abilities, but the spiritual impact of Cheng dΓΉ in front of them can only remind them of one word.
Inhuman.
Everyone regretted it in their hearts, what kind of existence did they provoke?
