Chapter 259: A Strange Entrustment
"Liliye, don't worry, speak slowly, what's wrong?"
Because he couldn't figure out what was going on, Leach could only calm Lilier, who was like an ant on a hot pan.
didn't think about it, but Liliet didn't appreciate Leach's kindness at all, but complained: "When is this coming, and you still talk slowly?
With that, she grabbed Lena's hand and ran to the backyard.
The rest of the people were confused and could only follow.
In the open space in the backyard, a boxy wooden box was being placed at this time, and Liliel pulled Lena to the vicinity before she stopped out of breath.
"Liliet, you should have made it clear, what is going on in such a hurry?" After standing still, Leach glanced at the wooden box, not paying much attention.
"Come and see. Lilier pointed to the chest on the ground, "What the hell is this, it's scary." ”
Curious, several people surrounded him.
Inside the wooden box, an oval-shaped object that was slowly wriggling was placed on a soft sponge pad. The surface of the object is dark purple, and it is covered with intricate interlaced green tendons, which looks disgusting.
After seeing it clearly, several girls involuntarily took several steps back, with a disgusting expression on their faces, leaving Leach alone to endure the discomfort and carefully observe the unknown object.
"Could this be an egg?" After a long time, Leach made his own judgment and left the wooden box as if he was fine.
"It's disgusting that an egg can grow like this! I think it's a mutated creature, don't you see it moving on its own?"
"Probably not. Leach shook his head, "If it's some kind of mutated creature, how can it move so little, and I've been around for so long, and I haven't seen any aggressive behavior from it, just wriggling in place, if it's really a creature, how can it eat like this?
"But have you ever seen an egg like this?" Tali still insisted, "The beast eggs I've seen have never had such a shell...... So...... How can I say it, if it's so tough, it will deform on its own!"
"Indeed, I haven't seen it either. Leach said matter-of-factly.
Generally speaking, because the Warcraft is always in danger, the offspring born cannot be the kind that will be broken at the touch of a touch, generally its shell is very thick and hard, only a few are viviparous, and I have never heard of any kind of Warcraft egg shell is as malleable as gummies.
From this point of view, Leach's speculation is somewhat untenable.
However, there are no wonders in the world, and not seeing or hearing of it does not mean that it does not exist, this is a sentence that Wright often hangs on his lips, and the reason why Leach guesses that this unknown object is some kind of special egg is precisely because of this sentence.
As Tali had guessed, if it was really some kind of special creature, it couldn't even hunt, so it wouldn't survive.
"Is it possible that this is an alchemical creature we haven't seen before?" said Saya as Leach and Tali argued.
Hearing her say this, Leach suddenly felt that this was very likely. After all, once any creature is transformed by the alchemists, it will definitely become unrecognizable, and it makes sense that people will feel that they have never seen it before.
In addition, although the alchemy creature is still called a creature, it is actually completely dead and does not need to eat at all, so that the problem of hunting that Leach is worried about will be solved, and all that remains is what the effect of this thing is.
At this point, when several people were about to have an impromptu discussion meeting, Lilier suddenly spoke: "Don't be busy jumping to conclusions, there is something you may not have noticed, there seems to be something strange in that thing's body, it has been making a ticking sound, but the sound is so small that you can't hear it if you don't listen carefully." ”
As soon as they heard this, Leach and the others became puzzled again.
After listening with bated breath for a moment, Leach realized that it was indeed as Lilier had said, and that there was a very regular ticking sound coming from the body of the unidentified object in front of him, especially the sound of an old-fashioned wall clock swinging when it was swinging.
"Could this be some new type of alchemical item?" said Leach, with a new guess.
This conjecture was unanimously agreed upon by everyone, after all, compared to the extremely small mutation probability of Warcraft and the degree of human exploration of the wild so far, the possibility of alchemists having a new invention is greater.
"By the way, Liliet, where did you get this chest?" After determining what the unidentified object was, Leach had the leisure to ask where it came from.
Hearing this, Lilier did not directly tell her origin, but said: "Leach, didn't you ask me to pay attention to any recent missions that need to go to the Federation, I specially checked it, this check doesn't matter, but it scared me!"
"What's wrong?" Lena became nervous as well.
"After this investigation, I found out that in the two months since Leach left, there have been so many backlogs of commissions in the meeting! Leach, don't be busy these days, help me complete some of these commissions first, and then talk about anything else! Don't worry, these are all small tasks, and you won't waste too much time. ”
Leach was full of black lines and said angrily: "Can you tell the point!"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I've made the same mistake again. Lilier smiled sheepishly, and then returned to the main topic, "I was looking at those commissions when I suddenly found a very special mandate. ”
"You know, according to the rules of our Adventure Hunter Guild, the reward must be stated when issuing a commission, except for additional rewards, but this commission, just saying that the reward is a very special thing, and nothing else, which seems strange. ”
"It's weird indeed. Leach nodded in agreement.
But there's more to come. Lilier pointed to the wooden box, "This client first sent the entrusted items over, indicating that he wanted people to send the box to a border town of the Federation, but also said that after the recipient accepted the commission, he had to meet him first, and don't send the things away on your own initiative, otherwise there will be big trouble! Why do you want to do this extra thing, it's really idle and have nothing to do!"
