Chapter 63: Black Rain Strategy (4)
The old man got up from his seat, walked back and forth a few steps, and turned his head to look at the second seat: "The speed is not fast enough, the master will come back soon, there must be significant progress before the Marquis returns, if the master's major event is delayed because of the progress of the project, I think I don't need to say more about the consequences." ”
"Please rest assured, Lord Hogg, if you follow the current progress, the key parts will definitely be completed before the Lord returns." ”
The old man named Hogg nodded and said: "Lord Marquis's plan is the hope of our family's re-rise, there is no room for failure, continue to get more people out of the swamp, I will go and call those warlocks now, it is really troublesome! If it weren't for them to consume the population, the castle would have been completed half a year ago!"
When the person on the right heard this, he hurriedly whispered: "My lord, be careful that trouble comes out of your mouth! The methods of those guys are too weird, we should try not to talk about their goodness." ”
Hogg glanced at him and said with some annoyance, "Damn! I know!" After saying this, Hogg got up and walked towards the back of the hall, and the two who were left behind looked at each other and shrugged.
After Hogg got out of the steeple hall, he walked directly to a slope passage leading to the underground not far away, a few minutes later, Hogg came to the end of the underground passage, this is a door embedded in the cave wall, the huge door panel is densely covered with terrifying flesh and blood eyes, the door seems to sense someone, a flesh and blood eye above the door panel opened, the flesh and blood eye emitted a gray light, the light enveloped Hogg, Hogg suddenly felt his body stiffened, and soon the gray light dissipated, Hogg's body regained his instincts, the door slowly opened, and there seemed to be traces of flesh and blood tearing in the crack of the open door, accompanied by some unknown liquidHogg couldn't help but feel sick to his stomach!
Holding back the desire to vomit, Hogg quickly walked into the door, Hogg felt the strangeness under his feet, and found that this place had changed again compared to the last time he came, and what he stepped on under his feet seemed to be some kind of flesh, and this passage was densely covered with this kind of flesh!
Hogg couldn't help but curse in his heart, but his expression didn't dare to show too much disgust, so he could only speed up his pace and pass quickly.
After walking through this passage of flesh and blood, Hogg was greeted by a strange and evil scene, rows of huge cylindrical glassware had been fixed to the base, someone was installing pipes and inscribed runes on these bases, and there were already huge glassware that had been activated not far away, Hogg looked at the glass cover, and saw that something was actually moving inside!
Hogg was covered in hair, and his forehead was sweating, but he couldn't suppress his curiosity, and when he looked closely, he saw that it was a monster inside! Hogg was dumbfounded! What a twisted thing it was, a wolf-headed human body, lizard claws, and a hideous mouth full of fangs in its belly.
After Hogg saw the monster clearly, he quickly withdrew his eyes, and looked in again, and at the end of the two rows of utensils, there were several people in white robes, talking about something, knowing that those people might be the ones who were looking for him, so he hurriedly walked forward.
Just walked a few steps, those people seemed to sense Hogg's arrival, and turned around in unison, Hogg stiffened his steps to the front, but as soon as he got closer, Hogg's body stiffened, he was not fixed, but was frightened by the appearance of several people in front of him, the first one had a lizard face, his eyes were like chameleons wrapped in cuticles, and constantly changing directions. The face is densely covered with fine scales, and the mouth is constantly swallowing a long tongue with forks!
The face of the person on the right is a skull with only half of the flesh and blood, his hand is a mechanical hand made of metal, the slender metal fingers are constantly polishing the flesh on the skull, there is a pair of normal human eyes on the skull, and there is an abstract mark of a strange beetle on the forehead of the skull.
The appearance of the person on the left is the same as that of the monster in the glassware next to him, but his hair is all white, and his body reveals a twilight aura, obviously this person should be not young.
The wolf-headed old man stared at Hogg in front of him who was wearing a housekeeper's uniform, and his mouth made a voice that was no different from that of a normal person, and said: "Hogg, this time I asked you to come over to prepare new test materials, this time we need high-quality materials above the high level of black steel, the number is not limited, the more the better!"
Hogg's heart trembled, but he said: "This lord, the low-level natives of the Black Steel are easy to find, but the high-level ones may not be able to find a few even if they run all over the swamp, but there are a few in the White Frost Department, but they have all been taken away by the Marquis of my family, can you give me a few more days? I will immediately send someone to the tribe in the west to take a look, there is really no nearby!"
The lizard-faced man interjected at this time, "Hogg, don't be too brainy, I think there are a few guys in the castle guard who are quite suitable, why don't you call them?"
Hogg was shocked when he heard this, and hurriedly said: "My lord, no, it's not peaceful outside, the empire seems to be somewhat aware of the abnormality of the swamp, according to the latest information, some spies have appeared in the Black Rain Swamp, and there are not many good hands in the castle at present, once something happens, I can't explain it to Lord Marquis!"
The lizardman sneered, "Hmph! You'll shirk it! I don't care, if you can't get a new test subject by the end of this month, don't blame me for attacking the people in the castle, and then there's a mess, you can do it!"
Hogg cursed in his heart, damn monsters! You can't do it yourself! You have wasted a lot of wealth in your family! I don't know if it is right or wrong for the Marquis to cooperate with these guys...
Hogg suppressed the anger in his heart and said in a low voice: "My lord, I will do my best, don't worry!"
The skull man patted his skull, glared at his eyelidless eyes and looked at Hogg and said, "Hogg, I don't know if you are interested in experiencing it? After you get out of me, you will have a vigorous and wild body, and your life span will be greatly increased, I see that you are not too young, and you are not able to do it in some aspects!"
The skeleton man's words, Hogg listened to the cold sweat, and scolded the skeleton man's family in his heart, but said in his mouth: "Thank you, my lord, if I need it one day, I will come to trouble the adult, I just hope that the adult will not refuse!"
The skull man smiled and said, "How can you refuse, I've been expecting you to have the same bloodline as us!"
The wolf-headed old man heard Hogg's words insincerely, and said coldly: "You'd better be smart, don't play any tricks on me, if the materials don't arrive on time, you and your cubs will be new materials! Don't stand here, get out!"
Hogg exited the underground laboratory with an ugly face, looked back at the eye-filled door, and walked out of the underground passage quickly.
Hogg walked very slowly on the way back, he was bored in his heart, as long as he calmed down in the past few years, he asked himself, should he continue to stay in this defeated family, but he seemed to have become accustomed to the identity of the housekeeper, and the only thing he couldn't rest assured in his heart was the marquis, the marquis was what he saw since he was a child, from babbling to now being able to independently control a force, and secretly develop a dying family into what it is now, Hogg is both relieved and distressed!
It's just that the current marquis seems to be different from before, especially after coming back last month, just look at these monsters he brought back, he is really a little scared, he knows very well what the consequences will be if the marquis does this if he is discovered by the empire, anyone who is related to the marquis will inevitably die, he has not lived enough, he is really unwilling.
Hogg shook his head and smiled bitterly and walked towards the periphery of the castle, went up to the city wall that had not yet been fully built, looked up, the scenery of the entire valley was in full view, and after standing on the city wall for a while, he was in a better mood, he still had to do it, so be it for his life, leave it to the marquis!
Hogg walked down the walls and returned to his room inside the castle, he changed into his butler's clothes, he planned to pay a trip to the White Frost tribe to see if there was anything new to be found there.
Turning back to the Tatara tribe, Yuri and Rashdel spent the night in Tatara, and the next morning with ten carefully selected scouts, before leaving, Kezhu had to follow him alive or dead, and the old leader couldn't, after asking Yuri, the group left the tribe and continued to move towards the north of the swamp.
Yuri is quite satisfied with his eyesight, of course, it is the scanning of the system that helps a lot, and with the system in hand, Yuri claims to be the best interviewer in the world.
Yuri looked at the ten people in front of him who were slightly messy in front of him with satisfaction, and turned to Rustel and said, "I'll hand them over to you now, as for how much you can play, it's up to you!"
Rustel nodded excitedly, turned to walk towards the team, came to the front of the team, carefully looked at each team member, Rustel turned back and nodded to Yuri, turned to face the ten people: "Now, I'll try your quality, you come with me!"
Yuri was a little curious about what Rustel was going to do, and everyone came to a relatively open area to stop, Rustel stood still in front of the team, pointed to a dense jungle in front of him and said: "Now let's have a confrontation, I will fight against you ten by myself, just use the jungle in front as a battlefield, you can use any means, the same, I will also deal with you by any means, as long as you can defeat me, no matter who you are, you can win, you can come together, or you can come alone!" As long as you can win, these things are yours, but if you lose, you must obey my arrangement, and everything I arrange must be carried out unconditionally! Of course, I will not deliberately send you to death!"
With a wave of his hand, Hasdell unleashed a bunch of things on the ground, fine daggers, delicate standard short bows,*, scimitars, short swords, and long swords. Brightly piled up on the ground.
The eyes of the ten people suddenly lit up, and Ke Zhu, who had been following Yuri and had not joined the team of ten people, also stood up at this time...
