Chapter 588: Riddles
The Worm Possessor"
It is a special kind of out-of-city life that is independent of evil and wild monsters.
They are more complete and scarce in number (see Volume 4 [Life Outside the City (II)])
Mia's existence is even more of a special among the worm-possessed.
She neither exhibits much out-of-town life or any pollution, and is 90% more human-...... overall.
Because of Demps's recommendation.
Mia is helped by 'Mother-Aga' to break the seed perfectly.
Yaga's mother also noticed the difference between Mia and talked about 'Mia' in detail when she was alone with Han Dong.
Part of the reason why Han Dong let Mia stick to himself like this is because of Mia's potential and the particularity of being a "worm possessor".
Current.
Inside the Lord's Bedroom at Stuart Manor.
Lady Yaga came down in person.
Due to the closed nature of the "sensory realm", even the Raven Elder who also lived in the castle did not sense the invasion of foreign objects.
One of her hands touched Mia's eyebrows, slowly absorbing the curse seal within.
"With the larvae of the [Source Mother Curse Spider], it is really suitable for her to break the seeds.
The battle in the knight election also stabilized her talent tree, and she has the ability to control the 'worm'.
I'm just breaking the Heart Seal for now.
Most of the subsidiary seals were retained, so that the little spider would not be able to suppress the 'worm' and cause an irreversible "rampage".
Such a special insect possessor can be of great help to you and my 'son' at some point.
Moreover, having a "worm-possessed" in your ranks can save you a lot of trouble in the future.
Otherwise, I wouldn't have taken the 'risk' to come to your estate. β
"Thank you, Ms. Yaga."
"There is a disgusting aura of powerhouse left in your manor, and it seems that a special guest has come today...... Won't give away your secrets, will you? β
"Just a businessman."
"That's good."
β¦β¦
"Ga~Ga~ Lord Lord! You haven't eaten in seven days! β
A week passed.
At the door of Han Dong's bedroom, a lot of meals have been piled up...... For a week, Han Dong never opened the door to pick up food, and there was no response to any transmission.
It's just that the Raven Man can clearly feel the aura of the lord's health.
They estimated that the lord might be engaged in a unique cultivation with a tall female knight, and no one dared to break the door
The time dragged on for more and more, considering that the lord had said that he would stay for a week when he went out of the city this time, today happened to be the time limit.
The Elders decided to let Doze Raven, who was closest to Han Dong, go to deliver the food, and if the lord still didn't open the door, Doze Raven would use the spare key to check the situation inside.
After all, in the eyes of the elders, even if there is a certain process of reproduction between the opposite sex, it will not last for seven days.
Duo Ze Crow was terrified throughout the whole process, and he was afraid of making Han Dong unhappy and made it into a roast crow.
Crunch~
The door opens very slowly.
The moment the crack in the door opened slightly, a number of small spiders with purple patterns immediately crawled out, and Duoze Crow hurriedly protected his body with feathers to avoid being injected with toxins.
"This ...... What is this!? β
Through the crack in the door.
I saw that the lord's room was covered with dense cobwebs.
Slightly different from ordinary spider silk, these threads resemble a kind of vascular tissue with fluffy hairs, and the whole body also emits a glowing purple light, which completely illuminates the room.
In the depths of the cobweb, that is, inside the room, there seemed to be a big spider hugging Han Dong, and the situation was very 'dangerous'.
Just when Tasawa showed a rare courage and wanted to break in to rescue the lord.
A voice from Han Dong echoed in his mind:
"...... I'm fine, close the door quickly. β
Ga!
Duo Ze Crow hurriedly closed the door again, although he was scolded, he didn't have to fight against the dangerous spider, and the lord was fine, and Duo Ze Crow himself was very happy.
β¦β¦
Deep in the web.
Spend a whole week.
Mia has gone from a completely rampaging eight-legged spider to a human form with eight arms, and her consciousness is slowly regaining ...... It's just that the huge silk sac behind him hasn't disappeared yet.
The true purpose of "Unsealing the Curse".
It's so that Mia can independently suppress the 'worm' in her body.
Rather than continuing to be suppressed by the curse seal imposed by others.
Only by truly controlling one's body can one minimize the possibility of "rampage" and "insect transformation", and at the same time, it can also maximize Mia's own ability...... Take her all-round attributes to the next level.
Seven days.
Mia also 'enjoyed' enough of the two-person world.
Even if her initial consciousness was not very clear, under her senses, she could always feel the embrace and warmth from Han Dong......
"Thank you......"
"You are the only insect possessor in the Holy City who can maintain a human form.
According to the books, the "Worm-Possessed" are a rare species outside the city, extremely dangerous, and most of them have been recruited by the Old King to become special demons under their command.
When the Great Expedition comes, it is inevitable that the Knights will not encounter the Terror Worm Possession outside the city.
When the time comes, Mia may be able to play a more important role than the commander. β
"Good ......"
Mia didn't want to go so far, she didn't even want to participate in any great expedition at all, she just wanted to stay with Han Dong.
"I have to report back today...... You remain in the manor until you are fully humanoid. β
"You can't be ...... to accompany others."
"It's not good to take a leave of absence on the first day of becoming a knight...... Besides, I've been with you for seven days, so I'll take a good rest and come back to me when I go back to the city. β
"Hmm."
β¦β¦
Pick-up by the Raven Carriage.
Han Dong rushed back to the Holy City as fast as he could, striving to report to the Knights of the Secret Word before sunset.
It is completely similar to what I once experienced in a dream.
The headquarters of the Knights of the Secret Whisper is neither in the lofty noble district nor in the chaotic and mysterious underground areas...... Instead, it is built on the second floor of the ordinary building.
A few hundred meters away, you can see the dark gray buildings in the 'deepest street', five storeys high.
However, such a building looks quite 'strange', it feels like the building is upside down, the doors and windows are in opposite directions, and the roof borders the ground.
However, when Han Dong approached the deepest street where the Knights of the Secret Word were located, a strange feeling swept through his body.
Mr. Black and White's exclusive carriage was also in front of the intersection and could not move on.
Just when Han Dong was about to step into the deepest street.
On the side of the intersection, he caught a glimpse of a bright yellow tin mailbox.
In a very inconspicuous position on the side of the mailbox, a small [? γtags.
"Something ...... in the mailbox"
Han Dong showed the Secret Whisper Knight Insignia he had received.
Bang dang~
The mailbox is opened.
Inside, there is a "radio" that exudes a strange atmosphere.
"A product of the space of destiny? Between the dead and the living. β
The radio suddenly threw out a riddle: "If you know me, you want to share me." If you share me, I'm gone, who am I? β
"Secret." Han Dong immediately gave the answer.
"Welcome to the Knights of the Secret Language......"
For a time, the structure of the deepest street changed.
