CHAPTER 55 The Lobster
Standing on the rickety bow of the ship, the king of the earth asked tiredly, "Haven't you arrived yet?"
"You've asked more than ten times. Besides, if you come to row, shouldn't it be faster!" The girl with dark circles in the stern of the boat looked at the back of the king of the earth indignantly, and the huge oars in her hand squeaked and twisted to push the small wooden boat to float on the sea, "No matter what, rowing is exhausted! Why are there only two of us, those cowards! Hey, come and row, I listened to you tell a story all night yesterday, and I don't have the strength to sleep enough." ”
The King of the Earth turned his head to look at the girl who was still paddling hard despite her complaints, and said to himself, "You just want to pull a few more people to row for you: "Speaking of which, there is no reference in this sea, how do you determine the direction? ”
"Look at the sun. I don't know anything else, but my calculations of time are surprisingly accurate. Combined with the position of the sun, I can determine the direction in which we are traveling now. Awesome. ”
Looking at the girl in disbelief, the king of the earth felt that he still knew too little about human beings, and he didn't even know about this kind of strangeness.
"Hey, you just said you couldn't row?"
"yes. Answering as a matter of course, the King of the Earth couldn't help but think, who has nothing to do in the vast area of the Demon Realm to go boating and play in the sea, even if he really wants to cross the sea, wouldn't it be easier to fly over.
"You don't look like you're from the island, it's surrounded by the sea, how did you get here?" asked the girl, she knew very well the increasingly serious situation on the island that had lost contact with the outside world in the days after the war, and if it weren't for rowing, you would never have been able to come to this island with ordinary tools due to lack of fuel, "You, you don't have to take a boat at all, do you?"
Thanks to my laborious rowing here, dare you are actually just enjoying the process of taking the boat!
"Uh...... Actually, I don't have to take a boat, but ...... Hey, don't smash it with an oar!" The King of the Earth subconsciously stepped back, but unexpectedly, he stepped into the air, and before he could react, he saw two clouds of dense magic power spurt out in an instant, condensing a pair of crystal-like pitch-black wingspans, and brought him into the air.
Looking at the girl who was completely stunned, the king of the earth was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain it to her. He has the impression that human beings are a race that is extremely repulsive to aliens, and even human beings themselves will cause wars because of different races, not to mention that they are obviously not human.
Ah, really, I finally got my hands on the power of faith, and I haven't had time to study it in detail......
"It's beautiful, and it's ...... You can fly!" The girl's astonishment was not repulsive, but rather her attention was completely absorbed by the pair of wingspans, "How did you do it, are those exorcists who fought with you so powerful? ”
"You, you're right. The King of the Earth replied vaguely, and his heart was relieved. It seems that the other party does not realize that she is not human, she simply thinks that this is also some kind of power. Speaking of which, I've heard a word called foolish people before, could it be that she is like this?
But...... This kind of harmony is probably only temporary.
"Although I can fly, I can't take you to fight, and I can't let you swim in the sea and wait for me when the time comes, right?" Thinking of a reasonable reason, the King of Earth scratched his head and still couldn't bear to let her continue rowing alone. It's okay to say that it wasn't exposed before, but in that case, "I'm sorry for making you so hard by yourself before." ”
The crystal wings fluttered and slowly fell, and the king of the earth put a shot on the bow of the ship: "You just need to be in charge of holding on and telling me the direction, and I will leave the rest." ”
The next moment, before the girl could react, the wings of the king of the earth suddenly exerted force, pushing the boat and dragging the waves several meters high......
In the small fishing village they had just left, the villagers seemed to be discussing something when they were busy, but it was not these things that made people feel disagreeing, but the unusually frozen atmosphere in the venue, and it was not an exaggeration to say that it was a little chilly. If you look closely, it is not difficult to find that these villagers can be roughly divided into two categories, one is dull and seems to sit a little stiff, while the other seems to be afraid of something, trembling and whispering something.
For a long time, among the people sitting on the rostrum, a person with a dull face and some years of age slowly spoke, without a trace of emotion, and the voice like a machine made people uncomfortable to hear: "His Royal Highness the King of the Earth didn't even find us, why?"
"I, how do we know......," the village chief sitting beside him trembled and whispered, looking at him on the verge of collapse, "Why are you monsters appearing again, aren't you already satisfied, what have we done wrong!"
The elder turned his head stiffly to look at him, and a white mask flickered in his lifeless eyes: "It's not that you did anything wrong, it's just that I was scared for a long time when you happened to appear here and Your Highness, I thought he was here to destroy me who disobeyed the order, but I didn't expect it to be just passing by." ”
"But then I wondered why he hadn't noticed me?" continued, an equally dull-faced man in the crowd, "Not only that, but I can't understand the transformation of Lord Earth who wants to remove that low-level monster for you. Maybe it had something to do with the gun, and I felt a very uncomfortable aura in it. ”
Listening to these completely incomprehensible words, the village chief suddenly clasped his head against the table and shouted, "I can't stand it anymore! What are you going to do......? We just want to live our duty, even if we are persecuted by the Kraken, we just want to live but you ...... Why don't you kill us, why do you have to let us live in such pain!"
"For if you all die, who will provide us with bread? The elder raised his hand and patted him on the shoulder as if he wanted to comfort the village chief, but even this understatement still made the village chief, who was almost collapsed, tremble and fall to the ground, not only pushed down the seat, but also burst into tears, "You see, fear, hatred, unwillingness, so much delicious food." I need the power to be able to get rid of 'me', how can I bear to kill you before I have that power?"
The village chief stepped back tremblingly, he still didn't have the courage to accept the reality. He is an ordinary human being, and he originally ran a small shop based on coconuts with his daughter, which was hard but fulfilling. Seeing that her daughter has reached the age of talking about marriage, I felt that I could finally take a break and relax after working hard for half my life, but who knew that such a change would come again.
"Today is not the time I should come to harvest, but I suddenly have a new idea when I see His Highness who I haven't seen for a long time. Lifeless voices rang out one after another in the room, as if the minds of these individuals had been completely unified, "I didn't feel his coercion, and he didn't notice me, which means that he has to deliberately block the magic for some reason. Judging from the fact that he can still appear here, he should still retain the basic level of magic power that can fly over. ”
"That is, I ......"
"You can't get rid of ...... completely"
On the sea, the king of the earth, flying between the sea and the sky, was shocked by the sight in front of him.
The village chief's daughter was guarding the boat from a distance at this time, hiding a few hundred meters away, like a small dot, but compared to this, it was extremely exaggerated that there was a huge lobster hundreds of meters long in front of the eyes of the king of the earth......
It can be seen that this lobster is very good at enjoyment, in just a few months, a shallow beach has been piled up in this sea area, countless fish bones reflect the white color through the clear blue water, and the big lobster wearing a sky blue hard armor is enjoying the food comfortably surrounded by a group of monsters at this time.
"Hey, how did you get this thing...... There is no doubt that this is a creature on the earth, but why does it have the breath of a monster, is it possible that it can still coexist?" The king of the earth couldn't help but have a headache, if it was just an ordinary monster, with his strength, he would fight it directly, but he didn't say that he had seen such a symbiotic existence, or even heard of it, and now that most of the magic power was closed, the king of the earth was really a little helpless in the face of such a behemoth.
"Proportionally, the shell of this thing is probably comparable to a steel plate...... The Longinusche enchantment is easy, but for this kind of thing, tsk, no wonder those exorcists can't help it. The King of the Earth muttered as he slowly flew around the lobster, and now he tried his best to suppress his breath and was not discovered by the other party, anyway, take advantage of this time to find its weakness first.
Will there be such a thing in other regions of the earth, and such an existence should have nothing to do with my experiments, right? Although I have experimented on the magic fusion of demons and bloods, I have never tried this kind of biological nature fusion, I guess I thought too much, right?
Just thinking like this, the king of the earth only felt that he was suddenly locked by a certain line of sight, and before he could confirm the location of the other party, he only heard a roar of the sea below him, and a column of water wrapped in countless sea sand rose into the sky, swallowing the king of the earth in an instant.
The wings of the spar texture tightly protected his body, and he wanted to speed up to rush out of the sand wrap, but he didn't expect that the violent knock of the sand flow that was accelerated to the extreme made the king of the earth feel a heartfelt sense of powerlessness, and for a while, not only was he firmly trapped and unable to get out, but even the power from the crystal wings made him a little worried: "How is it possible, these ordinary sand can have such destructive power!"
With a flick of his arms, the suppressed magic of the king of the earth poured into the spear as much as possible, and a red light suddenly fell and exploded the sand stream, and he spit out the sand in his mouth in the mud and sand, gritting his teeth and smiling at the lobster with teeth and claws: "It's not bad!"
