Chapter 241: The Sound of the Piano
On the surface of the river in the blue lion royal capital, countless water ghosts rushed towards the three people in the middle of the river. This terrible sight caused Mona and Elsa to completely lose their ability to react for a moment. For them, these monsters in the water came too suddenly, and this kind of instantaneous fright was not something that they could adapt to in a short time. Fortunately, Heather, as the calmest of the three, didn't seem to be afraid of the water ghosts in front of her.
"Why are there these things in the rivers of the royal capital?" said the chief knightess, frowning at the black shadow approaching from underwater, "and the ghouls on the banks of the river and the sound of the horn just now...... What the hell is wrong with Wang Du?"
However, the water ghosts did not leave time for Heather to figure out the current situation, a water ghost with a thin upper body and a crab-like claw on the lower body quietly sneaked directly below the three of them, and its two huge weapons large enough to cut off adults from the bottom to the top, fiercely attacked the three of them from the bottom of the water.
"You two go first!" Heather noticed the attack at her feet, and she took a sharp step forward, throwing the two men holding hands from her side towards the riverbank in a throwing position!
It stands to reason that even if a normal person has been trained as a knight and is proficient in combat, his physical strength has a limit after all, and it is absolutely impossible to throw two adults out like a female knight chief. But the truth is that, judging from the flight paths of Elsa and Mona, Heather's throw can really throw them from the center of the river to the shore. And in this electric light, no one noticed the faint cyan light in Heather's eyes.
"Catch them!" Without the Patriarch's orders, the Soul Keepers on the shore had already spontaneously run towards the landing place of the two in the air, and the daimyo of Hammer Rose even the ghouls had heard of it. And the fact that Heather is a companion of the gray-robed mage has long been rumored with the alliance with Cheese. Now I see these two people who are almost sacrificing their lives to protect the female knights, as long as they are not fools, they must be very important.
The Ghoul King saw his people in action, and then his eyes returned to the river. In a few seconds, however, the situation on the river changed dramatically. I saw that at this time, Heather was wandering with her bare hands in the midst of the attacks of many water ghosts, because there was no weapon in her hand, the female knight chief could not cause effective damage to these monsters. But at the same time, the water ghosts are unusually unable to find any advantage in front of Heather!
You know, even if you don't have the ability to make a sound in the water, no matter what your appearance is, they are definitely masters of swimming, whether it is in calm water or rushing water, they can come and go as they please. However, today, on the canal of the blue lion king's capital, there is a person who can walk on the water with his feet on the water, and calmly dodge the attack of the water ghost!
The Ghoul King can be attributed to some kind of magic item for Heather's treading of water, after all, with Cheese as her friend, it's not surprising that the chief knight has some wizarding stuff on her. But Heather's skill and composure on the water proved that this was not the first time she had fought in such a situation. But it has only been a few weeks since the gray robe and the blue lion that appeared with the rat-man plague together, and I haven't heard that Heather's family has props that can tread water, where did the female knight get her skills?
A bold conjecture suddenly appeared in Edward's heart, could it be that she was ...... However, before the ghouls could think about it, the situation on the river changed again. It seems that Heather was finally angered by Heather's behavior, and a large number of water ghosts began to systematically encircle the female knight. They used their bodies sticking out of the water to block Heather's way, and then some water ghosts with offensive officers dived into the water to attack the female knights.
Faced with a near-death situation, Heather seems to be in a desperate situation. Seeing that the female chief knight was about to die here, a crisp piano sound suddenly sounded. It was the sound of the ukulele, the favorite portable instrument of the bards.
"Look at the river!" When the sound of the ukele sounded, the unthinkable happened. In this short moment, the water in the canal froze. And when I say solidification, I mean that all the water in the river channel has turned into some kind of immobile solid in an instant, and the whole section of the river has suddenly become a stagnant landscape in the painter's brush, rather than a turbulent river.
And now that the river was condensed, Heather, who was standing on the surface of the water, was fine, and the water ghosts who were mostly in the water or simply all of their bodies suddenly lost the ability to move. They tried in vain to break the confines of the river, but could not move a single inch anyway.
The female knight naturally did not waste this opportunity, and Heather saw the opportunity and got out of the encirclement of the water ghosts. A tentacled water spirit tries to wrap itself around the knight's calf, but its restrained body can't stretch its tentacles long enough. It also meant that Heather's road to the riverbank became unimpeded.
The stagnation of the river lasted less than five seconds, but it was enough time for Heather to run a considerable distance from the shore, and even though the water ghosts swam at an incredible speed, it must have been too late to stop in this situation.
The Ghoul King didn't go back to see Heather, knowing she would come ashore safely. Edward's eyes scanned the surrounding streets and houses, and soon, he spotted the rain standing on top of a nearby house. Judging from the five-stringed piano in Yu's hand, there is no doubt that the sound of the piano just now came from his handwriting. Rain apparently noticed the ghoul's gaze as well, and he glanced at the ghoul king from afar, nodded in acknowledgment, then turned and jumped off the roof, disappearing into the street.
"What the hell is this guy?" Edward, puzzled by the rain leaving, frowned, but thinking of the scene just now, he knew that if this man could survive until the end of this catastrophe, then all the dark dwellers in the royal capital would probably have to reconsider his abilities. The bard's abilities under certain circumstances would not be under a witch.
On the other hand, Heather managed to escape the river full of water ghosts with the help of ghouls on the shore. She was surprised by the friendliness of the Soul Keepers, but considering that Cheese had been in the city for a while, it didn't seem so strange that he had gathered some of his allies who had been living here in the first place. And immediately after the words of the Ghoul King, she confirmed this conjecture.
"Hello, Ms. Heather. As well as Lady Elsa and Lady Mona, I am sure the Cheesemaster will be very happy to hear that you are safe and sound. ”
