Chapter 465: David Jones
"Teacher!" Jerry suddenly shouted to Clarus.
The Demon Descendant nodded, his face grim, clearly aware of the reason for his apprentice's shouting. The earth was trembling, and the Demon Spawn snorted coldly, turned to Kiri and Peg and said, "You two, can you be sure that the carriage before belonged to the witch named Kuila?"
The two nodded in unison, as their direct leaders, they could not be mistaken.
"Tell me more about her. Clarus remembered the tragedy of the carriage from before, the traces of the direct tearing and destruction by the great force made the demons feel uneasy, and according to the witches, it was Kuyla himself who destroyed the carriage. In addition, the large number of earth pits along the carriage and the marks of giant feet on the ground are also unsettling.
Kiri shrugged, and she nudged Peg, "I've told the wizard before, and this time you explain." ”
This movement caused the crow, who was riding the same horse with Lin, to slow down and come closer. I have to say that Qili's so-called introduction is really very general, which makes the spellcaster want to hear more information from Peg's introduction that Qili has ignored before.
"Are you sure? Although the witch colonies don't forbid it, I think Mistress Kuyla will see it as a betrayal. The long-haired green witch said with some fear, afraid of the damage it would do to Kuira's ears. But Kiri clearly doesn't care about that.
"Well, we're captives now, there's no way to be forced to confess information, besides," Qili said, glancing at the cursed crow with feigned vigilance, "There's a gray-robed wizard here, do you think we can keep it a secret? ”
Peg's two index fingers intertwined uneasily, she wasn't stupid, "If you really won't be held accountable, why don't you say it yourself." ”
"What did you say?" Qili hugged her "friend" from behind. She gently stroked Peg's long green hair, and said in the latter's ear in an unusually gentle voice, "Do you know what you can do with your beautiful hair? You're not going to be hung on the dock like a dead fish, are you? Although it must be the prettiest fish, hee-hee. ”
Peg's body trembled with fear, she didn't want to bet on whether the future she said would come true. The poor girl bit her lip and finally succumbed to the threat in front of her, "Okay, I'll just say it." ”
The long-haired witch swallowed, "Master Kuyla has a high status in the witch group, and is one of the most senior witches. It is also one of the few high-ranking witches in the entire witch group who can leave the 'soup pot' activity. And that's because of her talent like no other. In addition to her spell-casting abilities, Mistress Kuyla is very good at driving other creatures to work for her, and her favorite species is insects. ”
"Of course, those are no ordinary bugs. They were raised by Master Kuira in a special way, and each one was hundreds or thousands of times larger than normal. No one knew how she did it, maybe she had some kind of special spell in her hands, or something she had been given to do it. But in short, these bugs only obey her, and two of her favorite ones are named by her, Davy the Black Scorpion and Jones the White Spider. Peg said this quickly, and looked around nervously, as if he was afraid that something would rush out and attack him.
"Davy Jones? The raven laughed as she heard the witch's words.
"Does that name have any special meaning?" Lynn crunched behind the sorcerer, her eyes still wearing the strip of cloth that blocked her vision, but that didn't stop her from hearing the sounds around her.
"In coastal lore, this is the name of the most notorious ghost ship captain. It is said that this guy likes to be seen on the surface of the sea during storms and torrential rains, and will slaughter sailors trapped in danger. No one knew what he looked like, and even the legend itself was only passed down by word of mouth in the tales of sailors and pirates. Heartless Bay is a port city, and she would give her pet a name like this, isn't it obvious that she has a bad taste?" said the crow with a smile.
Kiri nodded, "That's right, it's not just a joke that David Jones will come to you in Heartbreaker Bay. It's also a great way to scare those fools and drunks. ”
"So we're dealing with a bunch of oversized bugs?" said Clarus, hesitantly. In his opinion, bugs are bugs, and the Demon Descendants have not seen those bizarre arthropods of large size, but their intellectual and habitual deficiencies are destined to prevent them from wreaking havoc enough. If the witch named Kuyla had all that he could do, the killer felt that he could do it alone.
"Of course it can't be that simple, my friend. Heartless Bay is a famous outlaw city, where most of the permanent population is pirates, although most of the pirates are just thoughtless outlaws, but they dare to do business in the endless ocean, they have nothing else, but they are not small. A few big bugs can't scare the outlaws of outlaws. Raven said.
"That's right, if they were just huge, they would have been torn apart by the scimitar. What is really frightening is that the carapace of these bugs has runes carved by Master Kouira, and ordinary swords cannot deal damage. Their mouths and feet are also soaked with terrible poison, and anyone who is stabbed or scratched will not heal their wounds and will gradually fester. The worst guy I've ever seen, half of his body is rotten, but he's not dead..."Peg paused here, apparently remembering the disgusting image.
"The same name as Captain Ghost, a clever play into pirate superstitions. The appearance of a giant insect is also easy to fear. The invulnerable body is rotten to the touch. Heh, this witch is indeed kind of interesting. The sorcerer said with interest, and judging from his relaxed appearance, the crow had not yet taken these things into account.
"But their opponents are not pirates, and there are only nezumi in Vale City now. Nezumi don't worry about ghosts in storms. The Demon Spawn said. At the same time, he patted Jerry on the shoulder, so that the boy did not have to feel too much fear.
"Maybe, we'll find out soon. The wizard nodded, and with a flick of the reins, regained the speed of his horse.
