Chapter 65: Amazing news
c_t;“ What are they doing?" asked Pannis, "Is there anything special about it?"
"It's all about going around and around. [Reading Network]. The update is so fast. ←→x79 Novel.com" Jack spat at Pannis with disdain, and the nine heads unanimously 'revealed' a mocking expression: "Isn't that what I mean by the lingua franca? Or do you not understand the meaning of going around, just a few people, walking around in a large area, walking around, this is called turning around, understand?"
Regarding the previous contradiction about the robbery, it is clear that Jack still secretly holds a grudge, and his attitude towards Pennis is obviously different from that of Alcmene. Pannis sighed helplessly, rubbed his forehead and said, "I know what it means to go around, but outside of going around, they have to do something else, otherwise it's just going to go around in circles, it's the waterwheel in the mill." ”
"Okay, you two don't quarrel yet, hiss. At this time, Alcmene didn't care about the excitement and was happy, and asked first: "Jack, I ask you, hiss, why do you think that they are in your territory to find swamp lurkers?"
"Didn't you say that?" Jack's reply was always frustrating, but she later added, "They've been 'wandering' around swamp lurkers, sometimes doing things that are likely to attract the lurkers' attention, such as running quickly across the swamp." I didn't know what they were doing, but when you say that I know, they want to find some lurkers to take with them. ”
Panis and Alcmene looked at each other, their hearts filled with consternation, there were too many questions brewing in their minds, and Pannis asked tentatively, "When is this about it?" I mean the last time you saw them. [See the latest chapter of the book]"
"I think about it, I didn't pay much attention at the time, I don't remember it very clearly. Jack wrapped his nine necks around each other, making a look of deep thought, and after a while he replied: "It's probably less than a year, you know, I don't have a good sense of time, I don't know what counts months and what years in your civilization, anyway, I remember it was about four hundred days ago." It shouldn't have been a year. ”
"The time is right. Although the two demigods did not speak, their eyes both 'revealed' the same meaning, but Alcmene still asked, "Hiss." Jack, you're more familiar with the South Swamp than I am, I ask you, the Swamp Lurker's childhood, hiss. If I'm not mistaken, I'm probably like you, lurking in the deepest part of the mire. ”
"Yes, they like to get into the mud and not come out. Jack nodded nine times in agreement: "In their juvenile stage, almost all of their lives can be done in the mire, well, when you say that, it is indeed 'quite like' us." However, after a period of growth, they will come out of the mire and follow the mother to hunt, so it is not considered to be in the mire for the whole of their childhood. ”
"I know that, hiss. But is it possible to capture the lurkers soon after they are born?" Alcmene asked, "They must have been in the depths of the swamp at that time, and it was impossible for others to burrow into the swamp to catch them." ”
"How can't it be. Jack leaned in front of Alcmene and rubbed his head, shook his head, and said, "There is a demigod here, as long as you can accurately sense the position of the lurker, and directly open the inherent spiritual realm in that position, you can easily catch the hatchling." However, it is not easy to sense the location of the lurker hatchlings, they are hiding in a deep place, and the mire can isolate energy sensing to a certain extent. But there's a stupid but effective way to do it, and that's to disturb adult lurkers in large numbers. Then search down for the sensor where they appear, and there is about a 10% chance of spotting the larvae. ”
"Wait, that's not right. Pannis asked suspiciously, "The half-dead are gods, and they can't use the Innate Spiritual Realm. And how do you use the field to drag the larvae out of the mire?"
"What is a half-dead?" Jack asked inexplicably, "how come I haven't heard of that word." ”
"Because you didn't even listen. Pannis sighed and explained: "It's a few half-human and half-undead guys, and they also have some ghouls as subordinates, and ghouls are a group of undead who are transformed into dead by those half-dead after death, but still retain their 'flesh' body and will, do you understand? Several half-dead people are gods." It is impossible for them to use the inherent spiritual realm as you said, as for the ghouls, although the death energy is not very strong, there is no breath of life on the body, nor breath and heartbeat, it is relatively easy to distinguish, and the ghouls should all be awakened by the half-dead, they have no way to awaken the existence close to their strength. ”
"You guys are so strange, why don't you listen to people and draw your own conclusions, really, who told you that those people are half-dead?" Jack said suspiciously: " I've never said that, I have nine pairs of eyes, so I can confirm nine times as much that those people, including the demigods who took the lead, are pure humans, no matter how normal they are, and there is almost no death energy in them, so it is absolutely impossible for them to be half-dead as you are talking about, and I don't know if they are ghouls or not, who has time to listen to whether they are breathing and heartbeat. ”
"Click", the metal dinner knife in Pannis's hand was inadvertently broken in two, and he was shocked that he no longer had time to argue with Jack about who didn't listen to others, because the information that Jack inadvertently revealed was so shocking that it was likely to overturn some of his previous guesses. Pannis asked cautiously, "Have you noticed what are the characteristics of those people?"
"They were all dressed in black robes. Jack replied, "Well, it seems that there is a mark on the corner of the coat, I think it is gold, yes, yes, gold, shiny and beautiful." ”
"The mark is engraved with a golden hourglass, right? For this dress, Catherine felt that she would never forget until she died, several large-scale tragedies, a large number of innocent people who became old and dying, strange magic circles, and the time taken away, these are deeply engraved in the depths of Catherine's memory, and when Jack mentioned it, she naturally thought of these.
"Hourglass?" Jack recalled, remembering what he had heard from Alcmene before and what he had never seen before, and nodded, "Yes, it seems to be carved into an hourglass, thick at both ends and thin in the middle, yes." ”
"Phew, that makes sense. Pannis breathed a sigh of relief, and Jack's information did not overturn the previous speculation, but rather added a rather important link to the speculation.
