Chapter 380: A Sharp Turn

Leah felt that freedom was necessary to retract her previous prejudices. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info seems to ...... It's also fun to be a magical monster trainer?

Under the guidance of the talkative Captain Ziegler, the nobles opened up the conversation. Although the Magical Monster Trainer is a profession made up by Lin Qiu, in Herutia, there are indeed many rich people who like to adopt monsters. Even on some specific occasions, the rarity of adopting monsters can reflect a person's social status.

Most of the nobles could interject a few words on this topic, and the nobles who were good at observing words and expressions saw the empress's strong interest, and whether it was intentional or not, they spared no effort to introduce strange things about monsters, and even if they couldn't tell it, they would improvise a few monsters that didn't exist in the world.

Anyway, Holutia has a lot of resources, and no one knows if what they say is true.

Captain Ziegler was naturally the protagonist of the topic, and he had much more contact with monsters than most of the nobles in the room - he had killed them, raised them, and been cornered by them. Even after ten years of the war, he didn't stop dealing with monsters.

While living in seclusion in the village, he carefully raised monsters, trained them, and used them to fight threats deep in the forest outside the village. Ziegler has developed a natural sense of smell, and he can't say the breed of Jörmungård, but he can assert that this is definitely an extraordinary monster. And there was nothing more legendary than what he saw in the forest that day.

Ziegler was not a good storyteller, and his voice was thick and lacking in undulations, but it still caught the curiosity of everyone present: "That day I went hunting in the woods with Bob as usual...... Oh, and forgot to introduce, Bob is my fanged python. We chose the evening, usually this is the most active time for the monsters, but that evening was very abnormal, until we went deep into the forest and did not meet any monsters, Bob has been a little abnormal since he entered the forest, and he will crawl along the bushes when hunting on weekdays, scouting the location of the prey. But that day it shrank behind me, as if it didn't want to go on...... That means that some high-level monster has wandered here. ”

Ziegler suddenly stopped, and he looked straight at Lin Qiu.

"And then?" urged the nobles, who listened with relish, with some eagerness. None of the nobles who could sit at the table with the Empress had ever gone deep into the forest, and the daily life of a hunter was a novel experience for them.

"Lord Tyr, you've probably heard of high-level monsters...... I mean, the superlatives. ”

Ziegler told the story to many people in the village to alert the villagers, but people either thought he was drunk or insane. Even the village chief said that his words were nonsense, which disheartened Ziegler. The distrust of the villagers also led Ziegler to leave the village during the first conscription and join the Kingdom Army.

He didn't want to be ridiculed again.

"Of course. Lin Qiu nodded noncommittally.

Ziegler was pleased with this answer, and he continued: "In order to avoid irreparable damage to the village, I decided to find out. I don't know how long it was, but I vaguely remembered that it was at the junction of the village and the mountains to the west - I did see it clearly, and when I got there, the sky to the west was red with fire, and the flames spread everywhere, but strangely the flames did not burn a single plant or tree, which was definitely the strangest thing I had ever seen in my life...... I could faintly see a bird in the center of the fire, condensed by flames, falling straight into the valley to the west. I thought, if the flames were real, it would be enough to burn down half the village if it just lay down in the village and do nothing!"

At this, Ziegler nervously looked to the left and right, as if something was going to attack him when he said what he said next.

"But that's not the weirdest of all - just as I was trying to get the news back to the village as soon as possible for everyone to evacuate, Bob attacked me, and it was like a demon, its eyes glowing red under the flames...... I adopted Bob when he was a baby snake, and we went through countless dark times together, so I never thought Bob would attack me! When I turned around, his sharp fangs had already bitten into my neck, and the toxin that was enough to numb the nerves of my prey quickly spread through me, and as I became unconscious, I swore I saw a young girl walking out of the flames!"

As if fearing that the crowd would not believe him, Ziegler repeated: "I swear I saw it." ”

He really didn't believe it, because the last time he said this, the village chief laughed so much that tears were about to come out, he hunched his waist, and even his speech became intermittent because of laughter: "Haha...... Ziegler, you said that the monster became a girl?...... Haha, I think the hunter may have limited your talent, and you are better suited to be a bard!"

One thing that's good about aristocratic listeners is that they tend to have a higher laugh. And even if they think Ziegler is mentally retarded, they will appear to believe it on the surface and marvel at his story.

"The monster has become a girl. ”

"What an adventure, Captain Ziegler!"

They sighed on their lips, but the meaning in their eyes was already clear - they didn't believe it at all.

They asserted in their hearts that if monsters could become humans, humanity would have perished long ago.

"Captain Ziegler, when did you meet that monster?" For Lin Qiu, this news was extremely important. According to Ziegler's description, it is likely that he saw Phoenix himself that day, and the girl who walked towards him on the edge of his subconscious was probably Phoenix in human form.

"Before the first big conscription, but I'm sure that after that incident, the Divine Bird Cult appeared! I've heard that those cultists worship flames, so I guess it's probably their doing!"

Ziegler's tone did not seem to be fake, which explained why he had been trying to get Ria to order the expulsion of the cultists from the kingdom of Talen.

"What, do you believe this is true?" Ziegler was a little surprised by Lin Qiu's reaction. He had heard that these people had come all the way from the imperial capital, and that they were some of the most incredible, high-ranking knights, but in fact he didn't have much hope for them - as long as these people didn't laugh at him, he would be satisfied, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it if anyone came up to him and told him these strange things.

"Of course. ”

Lin Qiu subconsciously glanced at Lilith.

Not only did he believe it, but at the same time he chuckled in his heart.

In fact, after meeting Luna, he has been thinking about one thing - Doren is amazingly talented, powerful, and has a commander, and it is only natural that he should be chosen as the Holy Son. Compared to Duolun, Luna is not at the same level at all, but even so, the bishop still worships her as a holy son, and even does not hesitate to fight against the kingdom army for her.

After Ziegler said this, Lin Qiu also suddenly recalled an unusual sign that night:

Anyone with a common sense of monsterism knows that monsters become active at night, and even before they can head into the forest, the monsters brought in by Julius attack the inn in Yamaji Town.

But......

"Lilith, we didn't seem to have encountered a monster that night except for the old man...... Right?"

Lilith suddenly understood something, and nodded solemnly. At that time, their attention was focused on the ugly old man, the kingdom army, and Richard, who would care about such a trivial matter as not encountering monsters along the way?

The bad news is that because of Luna's sensitive identity, Corria placed her in her manor and didn't bring her to the banquet hall.
