Chapter Forty-Nine: The New Secret Puppet (Part II)

Before lunch, Glerint, who had been carrying the "Sword of Judgment" for more than 24 hours, was subject to another restriction:

"Honesty."

This is one of the most difficult restrictions to circumvent, not to mention anything else, the etiquette in daily life is actually just polite in many cases, not out of sincerity, which is also considered "dishonest".

Glerint shook his head, intending to tell a lie or commit a fraud in advance, lest he suddenly be deprived of his extraordinary abilities and be in danger in a hurry.

He looked at the waiter who was delivering the food:

"Bring me a cup of Filmo coffee, well, it's a temptation I can't resist."

This is a type of coffee from the Paz Valley, which is very bitter, but in the eyes of those who like it, the more bitter it tastes, the more mellow it tastes. Glerint actually doesn't like coffee very much, and even when he was in Beckland, he only used the top Fenetport Holy Mountain coffee that he always had at home to entertain guests.

So he deliberately made a deception.

"Yes, sir."

This is a relatively common coffee variety in the southern continent, and the waiter didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Meanwhile, Glerint examines his extraordinary abilities.

"Deprived of the persuasive power of 3 ...... 'lawyers', as well as 'bribe-seduction' and 'bribe-arrogance'...... Luckily, it didn't affect my Sequence 6 core extraordinary abilities. ”

Thinking of the negative effects of the "Sword of Judgment", Glerint inevitably thought of one of the great advantages of the humanoid puppet:

It can avoid the negative effects of many magical items, and can even use seals normally.

"If you have a chance to go back, you still have to add a humanoid secret puppet, or a monster secret puppet with a larger body."

…………

At noon, after having lunch in advance and getting the specific location given by Isla, Glerint took him to a valley on the west side of the ancient deep forest.

As soon as he landed, Isla explained:

"This place is actually not far from Chalogo, only a hundred miles, the reason why I know that there is a 'hunter mantis' in this valley is also because the military's 'hunters' brought out some inconsequential monster information by the way."

"'Hunter'? Does it refer to the extraordinaries who specialize in hunting extraordinary creatures? Does this sound more like an adventurer? ”

Glerint had been wondering where the extraordinary people of MI9, the army, and the royal family came from, so many potions could be used to reward members, and it couldn't all be the extraordinary characteristics left over from the death of the previous extraordinary, right? Besides, many extraordinary traits during the battle may not necessarily be recovered.

Isla nodded:

"There is a special team of 'hunters' in the army, and they are led by a certain sage, and they are divided into several squads. Their duty is to lurk in the various gatherings of the Extraordinary, to inquire where there are monsters, and if they find the monsters of the 'lawyer' and 'arbiter' paths, they will try to find and hunt them. Of course, some of the stronger 'hunter' squads will also wander for a long time in places where monsters are more infested, such as the ancient deep forests and the Hagati grassland.

At this time, if they encounter monsters from other ways, if the situation is appropriate, they will generally try to kill and harvest materials.

But in fact, without preparing the same path materials as bait, monsters in other ways are not so easy to harvest, so they often bring back the information of certain monsters and share them with other extraordinary people in the army, and if anyone is interested, they can get it themselves.

Of course, it is also possible to issue them a private commission of the corresponding material. ”

I see.

Glerint nodded abruptly, and didn't ask any more about it, but turned his attention back to the present:

"What should we do now?"

Isla looked around, found a broad green leaf shaped like a plantain leaf, pointed to it, and said:

"It's a stark contrast to the body color of the 'Hunter Mantis', and I would have amplified its appeal by putting the extraordinary characteristics of the 'Pyromant' on it. Then we each found a way to hide and waited for the 'hunter' to become the 'prey'. ”

Glerint nodded, took out the "Fruit of Delusion" corresponding to the extraordinary properties of the "Arsonist", and placed it in the center of the verdant leaf. Speaking of which, this thing was still the spoils that Isla gave him after the battle outside Gavana before, but later when Sobia trained a new Extraordinary Man, he dismantled it into 3 corresponding "Fruits of Delusion".

"Then why did he ask me if I had any extraordinary characteristics of the 'Hunter' path? Did you forget this little thing? Or is it considering that there is a chance that I have already sold it? ”

After a moment's confusion about this inconsequential question, Glerint took a few steps back, his figure fading and blending into the shadows.

After watching him finish the series of movements, Isla approached the broad leaf, flicked his right arm, and slipped the dark black steel flute out of his sleeve, flicking his index finger to create a note that seemed to form substance, and threw it at the charred fruit. Immediately afterward, he quickly played the steel flute again, "confusing" all the traces left by himself and Glerint, "confusing" all the light that shone on him, causing the effect of "invisibility".

If Glerint wants to rely on his extraordinary ability to "stealth", he can only "distort" the target's line of sight to "I'm in that position, but you can't see what's in that position." ".

Before qualitative change, "distortion" must have a tangible goal, and it cannot be all kinds of phenomena in nature, while the object of "chaos" is more extensive, and the rules and phenomena of nature can also be the target of its influence.

……

This valley looks two or three hundred meters wide, I wonder if the attraction amplified by Isra is strong enough?

After more than half an hour, Glerint's patience was drained a lot.

And just as he was suspicious, a crimson light suddenly flashed on the green broad leaves, and rushed straight towards the charred fruit, and its speed was so fast that Glerint could only see some afterimages.

Here it comes!

Glerint's spirit suddenly perked up, and his consciousness hooked up with the "chain of trickery", quickly locked onto its spirit line, and began to try to manipulate it.

On the verdant broad leaves, the rust-red "hunter mantis" is wriggling its mouthparts, frantically gnawing on the burnt yellow fruit the size of a peach pit.

It didn't realize that this was a "trap", but it followed the strongest desire in its heart, and the irresistible attraction from its body to come here, and after confirming that there were no natural predators, it exerted its strength on its hind legs, and suddenly ejected, and Meimei began to enjoy this feast that it had never seen before.

Of course, it has a fairly keen sense, and if it senses that the meal is harmful to it, it will also make a choice between fatal temptation and its own safety.

This is the reason why poisons and the like don't work against most extraordinaries and monsters.

Although there was no psychic warning, the moment its body fell to the broad leaf and began to devour the feast, that is, the moment Glerint began to try to manipulate its spirit thread, it still sensed the danger, but it was far from deadly.

Its brain, which is no bigger than a soybean, obviously can't hold a brain the size of a grain of rice.

After a brief trade-off, it raised its guard a bit, and chose to eat what was here before running away.

After gnawing for two or three seconds, there was only a little remnant of the charred fruit, and at this moment, its body trembled suddenly, the action of devouring and biting became slow, and a doubt slowly rose in its small brain:

What happened?

Why do the leaves fall so slowly and the wind blows so slowly?

At this time, with the sluggishness of its initial manipulation and its small brain, as well as the impact of eating raw extraordinary properties on the brain, it would take at least a few minutes or ten minutes to figure out what was going on and fight accordingly...... At that time, not to mention the "trickster", even the newly promoted "secret puppet master" should turn it into a puppet.

But to be able to live in the cruel laws of nature and get the title of "hunter", of course, it can't rely on that small brain.

The moment Glerint initially completed the control of the Spirit Line, it felt a deadly crisis!

But it has not yet directly followed instinct, catapulting away.

Instead, he slowly lowered his head and spent two seconds nibbling on the last bit of burnt fruit.

When the two instincts collide between avoiding a deadly crisis and receiving a fatal temptation, the thirst for extraordinary characteristics and the desire to perfect itself even overrides its instinct to escape.

In the next second, it followed its instinct, and its hind legs "suddenly" exerted force, and ejected out.

In its own consciousness, its strength and jump would not take more than half a second, but in Isla's eyes, its speed was pitifully slow after being initially controlled, and it took two or three seconds to jump from the slight sinking of its body to the leap of force. And the drama is that it doesn't even know where the enemy is, and even chooses to jump next to Glerint.

Secretly amused, Isla didn't twist its direction of escape, and watched as it jumped slowly.

And because of its slow bounce, the speed and height of its bursting in the air are not as fast as the praying mantis wants, and it only pops a few meters and begins to fall. At this time, it instinctively spread its thin wings, gliding and diving to the ground, because it was controlled, its movements became extremely slow, and it took two seconds to fully spread its wings.

At this time, Isla did not dare to let it land, because the impact with the ground must be the interference of external forces, which is likely to affect Glerint's control.

So he appeared and gently flicked the steel whistle, "twisting" its intention to land, twisting its idea of diving to the ground into a low-altitude glide, landing at the smallest speed possible, and ensuring that he landed safely. And in the process, glide around the shadows of the trees next to you, interfering with the sight of the enemy in the shadows.

Of course, this is all, and for a "hunter mantis", it is completely unnecessary.

It's just that this more "reasonable" twisting direction can make it less resistant, and it can complete the specified action given to it by Islam very cooperatively. In addition to this, Isla also "amplifies" its trajectory as it glides to the ground, so that it will fall in the air around the shadows for a long enough time.

It circled and glided around the shadows for about seven or eight seconds, and just as it was about to hit the ground, which inevitably collided with the lower planes, Isla confused the hardness of the ground, making it as soft as cotton, intending to minimize the effect on Glerint's manipulation of the spirit thread.

At the moment when the crimson body landed, the body of the "Hunter Mantis" shook suddenly.

Isla didn't see it clearly, and thought that even this slight collision had greatly interfered with Glerint's control, and just as he was about to make amends, Glerint came out of the shadows and said to him with a happy face:

"It worked!"

"So fast?"

It's only been less than twenty seconds! The chubby Isla's body trembled slightly, and he felt terrified of the methods of the "secret puppet master" from the bottom of his heart, and he thought that it would take forty or fifty seconds to come.

Glerint shook his head and explained:

"It's nine percent easier to manipulate it than humans, and I'm already very slow, after all, I'm not the corresponding extraordinary way, and it's still too strange to control."

His slightly exaggerated explanation made Isla think that the length of time of the control process was directly proportional to the difficulty of the process, so he asked as a matter of course:

"It takes half an hour to manipulate a human?"

Isla had some understanding of the methods of the "secret puppet master" before, but he was completely unclear about the detailed process of secret puppetization, and this time he was able to increase his knowledge and feel a lot more relieved.

The flesh on the body of this new secret puppet is not as much as a finger when it is combined, and it is estimated that nothing will change.

Glerint complained in his heart, and at the same time controlled it to jump towards him with a "whoosh", and landed firmly in his hand, while shaking his head and explaining to Isla:

"I don't know the specific situation, but I guess that the real 'Secret Puppet Master' completes the control of humans, it should be a few minutes to ten minutes, but the time left for him to save himself is actually shorter, because the deeper the 'Secret Puppet Master' controls, the less able the target is to resist."

This is what he deliberately explained to Isla at a vague specific time.

After all, in Isla's position, the probability of encountering the enemy of the "Secret Puppet Master" is not too big, but it is definitely not small, if he gives him a "half an hour" answer, causing him to deal with the enemy incorrectly and be turned into a secret puppet, it will not be good.

"That's right."

Isla nodded, finally gaining a deeper understanding of the enemies of this sequence.
