Chapter 997: King of Slime
According to Mira's plan, she and her team will spend most of the day riding a tricycle north to the village where the disease first occurred, ask about the situation, rest for a night, and the next day start hiking along the river into the mountains to find the source of pollution.
But when she woke up at dawn, she saw Charles, Alaba and two girls moving their bags to the airport.
"What are you doing here?" said Mira, stopping Charles.
Charles wiped the sweat from his forehead and said, "Our Knights have decided to open another laboratory in the village where the disease first occurred in the north, and Sir Hartmann is presiding over it, and we are now moving things." ”
This plan was made by Sir Hartman before he went to bed last night, he woke up Charles, who was about to go to bed, and then decided on it after discussing it with Alaba.
Charles continued: "Wait a minute, don't ride your bike, there's a new temporary airport there, let's fly over there and take a few laps in the sky to see what we find." ”
Mira blinked, "Is this okay?"
Charles asked, confused, "Why not?"
Mira asked, "Is it okay for people to sit in it?"
Charles was speechless, and said: "Why not, transporting people is one of its great functions, His Majesty Ximan also plans to build an airport near the location of several large churches, so that they can easily travel between the various dioceses." ”
"Chasi flew home with my letter just now, and will fly back tomorrow morning with the potion. ”
This is not to blame Mira, many people have all kinds of doubts when they first come into contact with airplanes, and they are not relieved until they know that there is a dragon in the pilot.
But even so, when they took the plane to the sky for the first time, many people were still nervous and shivering.
The passengers in Charles's plane were Mira's team, which included two paladins from the Temple of Light, a priest from the Temple of Wisdom, and a nun from the Temple of Fire.
The little nun of the Temple of Flames was fourteen or fifteen years old, small and cute, and now she was trembling in Charles's arms, afraid to look out the window.
The fiery red-haired girl was named Jonakin, and she had a small relationship with Charles.
When Charles and Diana were kidnapped, the little girl had already been kidnapped from elsewhere and into the kidnappers' "warehouse".
She was later rescued and returned home to find that her mother, who had raised her alone, had died, so the Flame Temple's retired Saintess Catherine had adopted her.
This girl may have been left a psychological shadow by her previous experience of being trafficked, and the whole person is like a frightened little rabbit, shrinking up whenever the wind blows, and she is very afraid of people, and she is not very willing to communicate with people.
It was only after Mila told her that Charles had the same experience of being abducted and trafficked as she did, and she felt a little intimate with Charles.
At that moment, the horn in the cabin sounded the captain's voice, and Meyer said, "We have reached the sky above our destination." ”
Charles looked out the window and saw three wolf smoke rising from the clearing outside the village by the river below, and the transport plane carrying Sir Hartman and his family was adjusting its position to land.
The makeshift airport was originally a meadow for villagers to graze their sheep, and the dragon who came over last night used meteorite magic to blast out a runway.
Charles said to the cockpit: "Lower the altitude, slow down, fly along the river." ”
"Understood!" Meyer steered the plane and began to descend to altitude.
This simple biplane has good performance at low altitude and low speed, and is suitable for ground reconnaissance.
The mountains below are several kilometers wide, with plague-infested plains to the south and high ground a few hundred meters above the north.
A large river rolls in from the north, divided by the mountains into tributaries and flows south to the plain.
Charles patted Jonakin on the back and whispered, but the girl shook her head, still afraid to look out the window.
Others were better, at least daring to look out the window for something suspicious.
It didn't take much time at all for everyone to find out what was wrong at a glance.
In summer, the mountains are lush and green, but there are a few mountains where rivers pass that are about to lose their leaves, and the mountains happen to be bare, which is especially visible from the air.
The plane flew closer, and you could see a lot of things wriggling on the ground.
It didn't take long for everyone to discover something terrible.
A huge sludge monster was weaving through the trees, almost three meters tall and six or seven meters in diameter.
"It's the King of Slime!" exclaimed Charles.
Slimes in the wild will also be upgraded by killing demonic beasts, and they can become gods like Reimu and Tilby House.
Now this sludge monster doesn't know how long it has lived, how strong it is, and whether it has crossed the threshold of generating intelligence.
Legend has it that when the level of the monsters reaches a certain level, there will be a qualitative change, and they will have the wisdom of humans.
The girls of Reimu, Tilby's House, and the Navy are all slimes who have crossed that threshold.
Tilby House and Charles have said that when they have wisdom, they are not the same thing as unintelligent slimes, so there is no need to worry that the development of the slime chemical industry will be ruined by them.
If this Slime King doesn't have wisdom, it's easy to do, and it's all over if he dies. If it had intelligence, it would have to be seen as a human, elf, dragon and other intelligent creatures, and it could not be killed at will.
According to Tilby's house, those who were killed after their defeat were killed, and those who were sealed were sealed, and very few slimes have become elites over the years, and there are two new generation of wise slimes a few years ago.
Charles decided to go down and take a look first, and if the Slime King had the wisdom to call Tilby House and them to deal with it, if not, he would be killed.
He sat Jonakin in the seat next to her, buckled her seatbelt, walked over to the cabin, said "I'll go down first", and jumped off the door before everyone could react.
Inside the plane, chickens and dogs suddenly jumped and shouted, and Mira almost jumped with it, which theoretically couldn't kill her.
However, everyone was relieved to see Charles fly downwards with his wings on his back.
The guy landed on a large bare tree, and he found that there was a lot of mold growing on the trees, which must have died after being eroded by the mold.
This is a problem, and the surrounding mountains seem to have to go through the fire again.
Then the giant sludge monster passed by his feet, and he slashed a stake and smashed it the Slime King.
The mud monster's skin is very tough, and the slime on the outside is very slippery, and the stake bounces directly.
Charles frowned, it seems that it is not easy to deal with.
The sludge monster didn't seem to feel anything, and still wandered around the forest blindly, followed by a group of small sludge monsters.
Charles changed a few places to do the same, but this guy still didn't react, it seems that he is not wise.
Not long after, the mud monster came to the river with his little brothers.
There are no more shrubs and grasses in the mountains, and they have to replenish water in the river.
The mud monsters jumped into the river, drank enough water and then climbed ashore to bask in the sun.
There are also some trees on the banks of the mountain forest on the other side of the river that have mold grown, and I am afraid that they will not live long.
Charles, who was observing the trees on the opposite bank, was shocked, and at that moment, he met a pair of eyes.
