"Although the note says that the Stitch Monster has terrifying regenerative power, it will take a lot of time to recover from being hit head-on by that meteorite. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info," Ravenhall explained.

Ziegler and Richard had only been away for a short time, and the dungeon was already unrecognizable. The surrounding walls were covered with new flesh sprouts resembling creepers, arm-like objects that stopped moving as the Stitch Man fell.

"It's a parasitic site!" Ravenhall concluded, after a moment of observation.

"What is the parasite? Also, where are the corpses here?" Ziegler didn't know anything about monsters, but he wasn't blind, and when he and Richard escaped, the ground was obviously full of the corpses of the Kingdom Army and the prisoners, and it was only ten minutes, and the corpses disappeared, and it was difficult to see a few stumps and broken arms on the ground.

Ravenhall didn't know how to explain parasitic knowledge to a big boss, he thought for a moment before he said, "You can think of this place as a nest of stitching monsters, and any creature that falls here will be reduced to its reserve food." ”

"In other words, we're in the belly of the stitching monster right now. Ziegler said.

"So to speak. Ravenhall continued, "But the reserve will also be divided into two categories, the high-level knights or monsters with strange abilities will be transported to the heart of the stitching monster, and when it succeeds in devouring these high-level creatures, it will be able to seize their abilities, and the other part, similar to these kingdom armies and prisoners, will be crushed and reassembled...... The sprouts you see now may be some part of them. ”

"Vomit...... Don't talk about something so disgusting. Lilith hurriedly stopped Ravenhall's tirade, the dungeon was already filled with a disgusting smell of blood, and Ravenhall was still gushing even more disgusting knowledge. As the current president of the Lilith Chamber of Commerce, when had she ever been to such a dirty and bloody place?

With every step she took, the sounds and strange sensations under her feet drove her crazy.

Seeing that the master spoke, Ravenhall immediately stopped.

But what he just said is just a drop in the bucket of parasites, and after the stitching monster has lived somewhere for a long time, it will cause a series of changes. The place where the Stitchers of their time were located was called the Dead by the alchemists, because it was a barren area for miles, with dry bones everywhere on the surface, and digging it with a shovel would reveal flesh-and-blood objects beneath the soil.

The parasite will expand with the growth of the Stitching Monster, and Ravenhall dares to guarantee that if this Stitching Monster is not eliminated now, then in less than half a month, the entire territory of the Talon Kingdom will become its parasite!

"Or something practical, like how do we destroy it?" Ziegler asked again. The thought of his men being reduced to the flesh around him made him feel angry. But he knew in his heart that if he wanted to destroy a monster of this level, he would have to pay a huge price - even the meteorite that covered the sky and the sun was not enough to wipe it out, which showed its strong vitality.

Entering the dungeon is only the first step in their quest to destroy the Stitchers...... I'm afraid it's the easiest step of all, and then there's the really tricky one.

"As I said before, if you destroy its heart, the Stitch will disintegrate. Raven Hall paused, "But these are the contents of the notes, and we don't know what defense mechanism it has at the heart." But I'm almost certain that it won't let us go over and smash the heart—I'm living in a time when there have been a number of brilliant alchemists trying to destroy the Stitchers, but they've all ended up eating for it. ”

"Wait a minute, your time? You're not from this era?" Ziegler stared at Ravenhall inexplicably.

Well, it's a bit of a stretch to call this dark shadow human.

Ravenhall glanced at him haughtily: "I lived in the era of the Great Alchemist a thousand years ago, when there was no knight profession on this continent!"

Ziegler nodded, he was numb. Compared to stitching monsters and meteorites, Ravenhall's identity is easier to accept, at least this revenant from more than a thousand years ago will not reach out and smash a hole in the inner city.

"But you, what the hell is going on with you?" asked Ravenhall rhetorically, he was also present when the man was escorted away by Corria's men, why didn't he see him for a while, and he helped them in turn?

"It's a long story. Ziegler smiled self-deprecatingly: "It all starts with the beginning of the establishment of the Kingdom of Talon. ”

"Something to do with Phoenix?" Lilith speculated, as she observed that Ziegler's assassination of the Empress was fake, and that his real purpose had always been the Cult of the Divine Birds.

"That's right, it has to do with Phoenix. In fact, everything about the kingdom of Tarun is also closely related to her. The origin of the whole thing probably goes back to a deal between King Ryan and Phoenix in his early years, and that deal created the current Kingdom of Talon. ”

The difficulty of building a kingdom in a devastated land can be imagined. Moreover, it was the post-war period, and everything was in ruins—there were no merchants, no kingdom army, and only bandits and retired ruffians who haunted the jungle were left for King Ryan. Everyone, including Ziegler, thought Ryan's ideals were just talk on paper.

It would take years to wipe out the bandits, and even if he expelled them all, no one would want to live in a place where corpses once were.

However, under the persuasion of countless people, King Ryan still stood on the top of the mountain of the Talen Kingdom and declared: "In less than ten years, I will establish a trading power on this land that is known as the Holutia Alliance!"

Everyone thought King Ryan was crazy, and even his most loyal knights lamented.

But one day, a miracle happened. Within a few months, all the bandits had been expelled from the interior of the royal capital, and a year later, the prototype of the royal capital was built. King Ryan's knights looked at the rising walls as if in a dream...... At that time, Ziegler was also one of the many knights.

The miracle didn't stop there, and after the royal capital was built, many caravans were stationed here, and the new small country was used as a temporary base for the Chamber of Commerce. The establishment of the Chamber of Commerce attracted the first inhabitants, and within two years, King Ryan had put the country on the right track.

Considered King Ryan to be the most famous of all, including Ziegler, were confident in the future of the Kingdom of Talen, believing that the country would one day prosper like the Third Kingdom. Until late one night, Ziegler, who was wandering the inner city, bumped into King Ryan and a red-haired woman with red eyes.

"Phoenix? but...... How did you know who she was?" asked Lilith.

Ziegler smiled bitterly: "Because of the prophet." ”

He had met the black-robed woman who claimed to be a prophet twice, first at the beginning of the founding of the country, and the second time on the eve of the second great conscription. He had to sigh at the horror of the Chaos Cult - if this was a Chaos Cult conspiracy, then this conspiracy had started ten years ago.

"So, what are they trading?"

"Neither power nor eternal life. Ziegler said slowly, "King Ryan has received the ability to control people's hearts from Phoenix. ”
