Chapter 114: Painted Skin
The lord walked straight to the campfire and asked the knight directly.
The thin knight was whispering to the woman with a flushed face, and was quite impatient after being disturbed: "Get out! Don't bother me! ”
But the woman looked at Leon and Klose behind him, but put a finger on the knight's lips to stop him from speaking, and then got up and looked at Leon: "Hello, Your Excellency...... Are you also here for guidance and good fortune? But what about your guide? ”
Guide......
Probably referring to a woman like her, right?
Every knight seems to have such a woman around him......
Leon reacted quickly, but instead of answering, he pointed to the camp of the Prophet's Legion, intending to see how the woman reacted.
But unexpectedly, with this casual finger, the woman immediately laughed: "It seems that you are about to receive the guidance of the prophet, so please come and sit, this place is indeed closer to the prophet, noble friend." ”
The flaming red lips and snow-white chin made it very tempting to laugh, and Leon wanted to lift her helmet to see what she looked like.
Perhaps she thought her gesture was a sign that her 'guide' had gone to the Prophet?
The lord is actually playing the art of the god stick on this god stick.
This finger can represent a lot of meaning, and it can make the other person reveal the information themselves—just like those fortune tellers who always like to point above or look underground without speaking.
Leon felt that he was lucky, and he didn't say much, so as not to be exposed, and began to set up a tent directly next to the knight's camp.
But the thin knight seemed rather unhappy: "Honey, you are my lucky lead, you should not leave my side!" ”
The woman smiled again and sat down beside the knight, "Of course, Morgan, your wish will come true......"
But the knight named 'Morgan' shook his head with a look of fascination in his eyes: "My wish now is you...... As long as I'm by your side, I can do whatever I want......"
Hiss......
The lord shuddered, this kind of licking dog is really disgusting.
Leon somewhat understood why these knights had joined the Prophet's forces......
However, the 'lucky lead'?
That woman should be a 'doom inducer', right......
Well, maybe in the eyes of a knight like Morgan, she does bring some kind of luck.
It's just that the price after luck is probably hard to bear.
The two marching tents were quickly set up, and the lord hid directly in them, peeking out through the cracks in the tent.
The night slowly sank, and soon it became extremely quiet, and the fires in the vicinity were completely extinguished, except for the many braziers burning in the Prophet's camp.
During battles, the main camp usually does not extinguish the fire panzier at night, this is to avoid sneak attacks at night, and also to prevent spies from prying eyes.
In the environment of light nearly 100 meters away, the position where Li Ang was lined was even darker.
Looking left and right, the lord climbed a tall tree in the grove outside the tent in the dark, and stood on the branch.
This location does provide a view of most of the environment in the Prophet's camp.
But after just one glance, Leon was almost frightened and fell off the tree, and he hurriedly clung to the trunk of the tree, but finally held it steady and did not make a sound.
He saw a night patrol squad in the camp, a squad in heavy armor.
That's about a dozen...... Person?
Or something else, Leon wasn't sure if it was human......
Because those 'people' don't have skin.
Yes, Leon is sure, that is, there is no skin!
They...... Or they, which were supposed to be women, can be seen from the body shape and armor.
They wore heavy blue-gray plate armor, which was clearly made for women, with two spaces on their chests for women.
But they didn't wear helmets.
Tight plate armor covered their entire bodies, but their heads were all reddish-brown flesh, with no skin, scalp or hair.
It looked like someone had skinned it, and its teeth and eyes were all exposed, making it look terrifying.
The terrifying squad seemed to be about to change their guards, and they completed the handover with a group of 'people' in black burqas covering their bodies, and then entered a barracks.
Then, the team of guys in black robes took off the black robes that covered their bodies, and the appearance they revealed was exactly the same as the previous team - they were heavily armored and had no skin on their entire heads.
But strangely, Leon seemed to have a conversation with each other when he saw them handing over - if they weren't humans, but monsters like the living dead, why could they still talk?
Are they still alive?
Hiss......
That's even more terrifying!
The lord's heart was beating like a drum, he didn't expect these heretics to be so weird.
There were quite a few ornate tents in the camp, and some female soldiers seemed to be carrying grain and grass.
Li Ang fixed his mind and looked at it carefully, as if a few knights with some servants had handed over some large bags to those female soldiers, and there were a few doom inducers standing next to them.
Could this be a few knights who have just arrived, are they 'paying tribute'?
At this moment, outside the curtain, a small group of female soldiers patrolled with torches.
Fortunately, he found it early, and the lord swooped down from the tree in a hurry, standing on the branch was too conspicuous, and a little light would be seen, so it was better to hide behind the tree first.
This group of female soldiers was obviously normal, a dozen or so men, carrying bows and axes, carrying torches and marching along the outside of the curtain, which appeared to be sentry posts on the outskirts of the camp.
It seems that they are also aware that there is a possibility of prying near this grove, and it seems that they have patrolled straight to the lord's location.
The lord didn't want to be discovered by them, and planned to hurry back to the tent before they could come over, but at this moment, a person came out of the thin knight's tent.
I couldn't see clearly in the black light, but I saw a black shadow come out and go directly to Leon's tent, and the lord had to sneak behind a few big trees again.
Klose and Summer, who had been crouching at the door of the tent, also noticed that someone was coming, as if intending to stop the tent door—but they probably didn't see the group of female soldiers patrolling behind the tent.
But with their stature, the slightest movement would have been noticed, and the lord held out his hand behind the tree and motioned for them not to move.
Klose probably saw Leon's movements and dragged Summerer into the tent.
When the black shadow walked near Leon's tent, it was closer, and by the faint moonlight, the lord could see her appearance clearly.
This is the doom inducer beside the skinny knight before.
She looked around the lord's tent for a while, and didn't seem to notice anything, then took out a shiny thing from the water bag on her body and quietly shook it outside the tent a few times.
This thing Lord is quite familiar, it is a snake heart stone.
But Leon didn't make any moves, and something like the Serpent's Heart Stone couldn't have any effect on the guarded Metenheim people now.
The Doom Inducer was obviously quite confident in the Serpent's Heartstone, and after putting the Serpentine Stone back into the water bag, she directly lifted the curtain of the tent, and swaggered into Leon's tent, and took out a fluorescent thing in her hand.
Klose and Summerer were in the tent......
Seeing that the group of female soldiers was still slow to come, the lord quickly rushed into the tent.
Klose and Summerr had apparently been on the lookout before, and the hapless Doom Usher had been caught by them in the tent.
In order not to make a sound, the way these two people arrested people was more barbaric.
The woman was currently sitting on the ground at right angles.
Klose was wrapping one hand around the Doom Charmer's neck, pinching one of her arms, the other over her mouth, and her waist between her legs.
And Summerle pressed against the woman's legs and grabbed her other hand.
Looking at the woman's appearance, she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't move at all, her eyes rolled as if she was about to faint - it was no joke to be tied around her neck by a fierce man like Klose.
The two Metenheim were now very vigilant, and if they were on guard, probably any drugs would not work against them - the cruciferous was almost becoming their daily snack.
But this thing is numb, astringent and bitter, ordinary people have to cough when they touch it, and they don't know how these foodies get used to eating, they can make no sound at all.
In the half-squatting state in the tent, he still quietly dealt with this defenseless doom inducer, obviously these two muscular men began to become brainy, probably because they learned some cultural lessons.
The lord gave his men a thumbs up, and immediately picked up the glowing gadget—a night pearl the size of a pigeon's egg, and the woman seemed to be quite rich.
Leon directly covered the night pearl into the package that originally contained the tent, and then helped Klose twist the woman's hand behind his back, and then observed the movement outside.
With the help of the lord, Klose loosened his arm, so as not to strangle people to death and not be able to ask questions.
No one made any unusual sounds, and they cooperated quite tacitly.
A few minutes later, the patrol women's soldiers walked away slowly, and the lord took out the night pearl and re-illuminated it.
The two Metenheim were still in a restrained position, but the woman had already fainted.
Klose breathed a sigh of relief and let go of his hand, and felt a tent rope to tie her up, quite skillfully - he seemed to be doing things like kidnapping tickets lately, whether he was following the lord or Amy......
"My lord, this woman is quite strong, I can control her with two hands......"
Summerer looked at his thick arms, and then at the woman's white arms, probably a little suspicious of life.
"Take off her helmet and look at it, these women don't look right."
The lord remembered the skinless shrine maidens he had just seen.
Samer removed the woman's half-hood, and the lord shone it on the woman's head for a long time with the pearl of the night.
This woman's face is blown-up, her skin is amazingly good, and she looks really beautiful.
"What are you looking for, my lord? Don't wake her up......"
Klose watched Leon tugging the doom inducer's head back and forth, a little worried that it would cause the woman to wake up.
"How can two hundred beautiful women who are more than one meter eight tall ......"
Leon muttered, his hand still not stopping, until he vigorously pulled the woman's face......
The skin on the woman's face was torn apart by this handful, and the woman opened her eyes under this action.
Klose quickly covered her mouth again.
Leon also let go of his hand because of Klose's movements.
The woman's eyes instantly became extremely frightened, as the lord took out a knife and pointed it at her eyes.
"Don't scream, or you'll die in ......"
Leon threatened, but then it seemed to him that the threat probably meant nothing to the woman—whether it was based on the experiences of Amy and Klose, or the skinless woman he had just seen in the camp, or according to the owl knight Ors, these women were probably not afraid of death.
Even if they were afraid of death, the lord felt that his threat would not be effective - let the women not scream? They can't help it......
So the lord simply grabbed her neck and hit her the back of the head.
It didn't work out well - the woman barely reacted, but there was anger in her eyes.
Considering her superhuman strength, Leon felt that it was either a drug that had stimulated the human body's potential, or that their dark goddess could indeed give them some power, and that conventional methods would not be able to control her.
Then there was no way, Li Ang simply pinched her to suffocation, and as for whether he would kill her, he didn't think about it.
The woman rolled her eyes again and fainted again.
After letting go of his hand, Klose looked at the woman's face and understood why the lord kept looking for something on the woman's face - this woman's face was deformed by Leon's handful just now, and her skin was visibly wrinkled, and it looked rather strange.
"My lord, her face ......"
Klose and Summerer both looked a little panicked, they hadn't seen a plastic face.
"Yes, not only her, but probably every woman around the knight here, including the so-called three prophets of incomparable beauty, is probably a fake face......"
Leon now fully understood what the so-called Three Prophets were......
No wonder these women worship the Three Prophets so much, and no wonder the Three Prophets, who had so many legends decades ago, are still young and beautiful......
Li Ang originally thought that they were not human, but now it seems that they are human, but they are not human either!
These are the three women who can perform face-swapping surgery - they can be regarded as opening the first plastic surgery hospital in Pande!
But the way they have plastic surgery is quite horrible......
They probably just swapped out all the skin on their heads!
Judging from the fact that these women are good at using snakestones, they are exactly like what Anson once mentioned - anesthetize with snakestones and then perform skin resurfacing surgery!
And the source of those pink skins is probably what Owl Knight Ors said, "They will take all the girls and children......
I see......
This technique is indeed witchcraft.
And their so-called guidance is probably to use all kinds of poisons and beauty to make people addicted, and let these plastic surgery women make trouble among various nobles!
There is no doubt that they will get a lot of money and followers from it.
And if nothing else, the lucky ones who have been given some hidden treasures or power because of their 'guidance' are actually advertisements......
The treasures must have been placed by them themselves, so that they could be obtained by their 'guidance'—and they would have to be re-squeezed out by the Three Prophets sooner or later.
Those who have gained power by 'guidance' are probably also because the Doom Primers are able to summon the nobles they have seduced - it is clear that there must have been countless aristocratic disputes because of the Three Prophets and their Doom Inducers......
The guidance of the three prophets leads to money and power—and this kind of advertising is naturally very effective.
Of course, the careless or greedy nobles would spontaneously seek out the Three Prophets, and at great cost make a wish to them, ask for their guidance, and even lead troops to follow them and protect them.
And those women who yearn for eternal beauty will also try to learn the abilities of the "Three Prophets" from them, and will worship them as if they were gods—they will probably swear blood in exchange for their souls, and eventually the prophets will gradually become puppets with drugs and psychological hints, and still do not realize it.
What a good means!
Leon was a little amazed and a little frightened.
This is a combination of marketing management masters, psychological and social relationship masters, and anesthesia plastic surgery masters - no wonder there are three people, each of whom is good at one subject!
The lord also had a general understanding of the situation, and the group put the woman in the package that was originally used to hold the tent, and prepared to take advantage of the night to lead the people out of the camp.
But at this moment, a man suddenly cried out in the tent next door: "Honey! My darling! Where have you been? ”
It was the skinny knight Morgan, who probably woke up to find that the Doom Seeker was gone, and this clingy guy actually started looking around......
The first place he looked for was Leon's tent, the closest to his tent, and the Doom Leader had spoken to the lord.
"Honey, are you here?"
This guy broke into Li Ang's tent quite unreasonably, turned his head and looked around, looking like a traitor.
His mind was visibly unclear, and the deep bags and dark circles under his eyes, as well as his weakness, showed his current state - apparently a long-term addiction to drugs and sex.
But he didn't see his 'baby' in the tent, but saw several murderous big men, and the thing immediately coaxed, and exited the tent like a frightened mouse.
But this guy seems to be planning to continue looking elsewhere, obviously not wanting to leave his "baby" for a moment.
Obviously, his behavior will soon attract patrols, and in fact there are already female soldiers with torches who have heard the sound coming this way.
Leon knocked him unconscious with a punch from behind, so that he would not continue to shout and cause more trouble.
"Before their patrol arrives, let's run......"
