Chapter 02: Monsters
Duke Fafer, the lord of the three male cities of deer hunting, antlers, and elk, with a territory of 13,000 square kilometers, seven small cities in the three male cities, one hundred and seventeen towns, and more than 567,000 people, and a blizzard army under his command of three hundred knights, the strength of the Duke of Newton in the northeast is called the two heroes of the northern land of the Guruding Empire.
He was bizarrely murdered, and what he brought was naturally a storm that swept the entire Northland!
As the white sun rises, a majestic castle appears on the horizon.
This world has not had much magical power since ancient times, but there are strong people who cultivate their physique, hammer their souls, enter the knight rank, and through the cultivation of the secret of fighting spirit, they can have inhuman physical strength and combat skills.
Like below zero, wearing steel armor to march dozens or even hundreds of kilometers, only the knight rank can do it.
Ms. Fafel, although her appearance is as beautiful as a peony, she has the same inhuman physique.
She drove her horse and whipped all the way forward, and along the way, one pass after another and the arrow tower, opened wide as she shouted and scolded, and Link and the others could pass unhindered.
Walking inside the castle, the courtyard is large enough for a gathering of five thousand people, and in the corner of the courtyard, there is a church dedicated to the goddess of knights, Diana.
This medium-sized church, which houses prayers for 300 people up and down the ducal palace, is too spacious.
The guards at the gate looked solemn, and Fafel walked briskly to the church, and when he reached the gate, he carefully wiped the slush on the mat outside before letting Link and them in.
Link walked into the church, only to see that the entire church was bright under the oblique light of the rising sun, without a trace of haze, but the scene made Link frightened.
Princess Fafil said, "When my father prayed, he liked a man, and he knelt on this mat, and his personal guards were two mid-level knights, one on the left and one on the right. ”
Link looked at the scene.
The pad, even centered on the mat, is like suffering from a rocket, even a high-temperature rocket.
The pure soil on the surface has melted into a glassy shape, and the mat naturally only has some residual ash left.
Duke Favel was hit by this fatal attack, and he survived the first attack, so he jumped forward and tried to leap and escape. But in mid-air, he was attacked by some kind of creature and was thrown to the ground.
His guards were tossed to the left and right by the blast wave of the explosion, and this first attack cost more than half of their lives.
And a second attack followed, and all three of them were roasted to a bloody pulp.
Even, most of the body is carbonized.
Looking at the three wreckage, Link's pupils contracted suddenly, and he saw Duke Favel's neck, which was torn off by something, and his head was missing.
Link crouched down and took a closer look at the wound on his neck.
A strange feeling welled up in Link's heart, only to see the muscles, blood vessels, and bones in his neck all atrophy violently, shrinking into a wrist-thick connection, and then being torn off, which is more like ...... It's more like a ripe melon!?
How is this possible!?
If there is magic in this world, then Link must suspect that the scene was left by the mage, and if there is a magic beast in this world, Link must suspect that there are traces of the attack of the magic beast at the scene, that is, the magic beast is the mage's pet.
However, Link has been living in this world for six years, and he has never heard of such unnatural phenomena as magic and ghosts.
Or, even if there were, it was so rare that it left little trace in history.
There is only one so-called legend that the Devil Contractor will turn into an unnatural monster.
But the scene, clearly, is unexplainable.
Link stood up, his hand touching his chin, lost in thought.
Princess Fafel's big blue eyes showed anticipation, but gradually dimmed as Link pondered.
Link said, "Let me rest here for the night." ”
Princess Fafil said, "If you need anything, please feel free to say." ”
Link said, "Nothing is needed. ”
Princess Fafil said, "Do you want a magnifying glass, I have an eight-fold magnification." ”
Link smiled faintly and said, "My eyesight is more than eight times that of ordinary people. ”
Link said, "I don't need anything else, just give me a jug of water and a loaf of bread." I'm a little hungry. ”
Princess Fafil waved her hand, and one of her attendants hurried out to get food.
Link had breakfast, sat on a bench next to him, looked at the scene, and pondered.
If he were an elite player of Dungeons & Dragons, he might be able to guess who the traces of the scene were and what monsters left them, but he was just a chicken lover. I've played masturbation, and I'm not familiar with Dungeons & Dragons at all.
Coming to this world, it took him 2 years to adapt and survive, and then, inspired his talent, he became a person with extraordinary abilities that ordinary people can never resist.
Because of this, Link has a deep suspicion that the scene is left by a person with the same abilities as him.
That ability, of course, is the ability of fire.
But how to explain the head?
This cannot be explained.
Link pondered in the dim and bleak moonlight.
Suddenly, he heard the sound of a large bat fluttering on its wings.
His gaze swept around, and he saw a dark shadow flying into the shadows of the ceiling and wooden beams.
If it were an ordinary person, he would definitely have to go to find a torch, but Link's pupils dilated and he could see the shadows clearly.
There was a head, a head that looked somewhat similar to that of Lady Fafel, its ears turned into a pair of wide bat wings, and its teeth were as sharp as those of a shark, and it bit down on the wooden beam with its teeth, and hung upside down.
Link's gaze contracted violently, and his heart quickly jumped to two hundred!
This is the first time that he, in two lives, whether it is on the earth on the scientific side or the world of Philo on the vindictive side, has seen supernatural creatures.
This monster was apparently transformed by the head of the Duke of Fafer.
Since this monster was transformed by the head of Duke Favel, it is clear that this monster is contagious!
Link, though confident in his abilities, couldn't help but feel a little out of breath, and he slowly, slowly retreated to the outside of the church, knocked on the door, and outside the door, the knight on guard opened the door.
Link whispered, "Go report to the princess, I found the duke's head." ”
The man immediately let out a low cry and walked away quickly.
Wait for the princesses to come again.
Link said, "Be quiet, don't light the torch yet, follow me." ”
The princess and a few attendants walked in.
Link pointed to the wooden beams below the ceiling and said, "The Duke's head hangs right on it." ”
The princess lit the lamp.
Link saw the monster fold its wings, and unhappily took the wooden beam in his mouth and turned around.
When the light shone on it, everyone present could see it clearly, it was obviously the head of His Royal Highness the Duke, and it had become a monster!
The princess's pupils contracted violently, and then dilated by staring into the darkness, and the princess whispered, "Daddy!
The princess's words, as if to arouse the monster's memory, let out a scalp-tingling shrill cry and flew down.
