"So it's here, it's well hidden."

At hearing this, Badosa's mind went blank.

He couldn't understand what Hug was talking about, but he was sure that something was crawling or squirming rapidly along his back—it was as if a piece of skin on his back had suddenly become conscious and began to move on its own.

In the next moment, Xiuge, who had been sitting all along, suddenly stood up.

Immediately afterwards, the nearby waiters and passengers exclaimed, because they saw that the two people, who were originally "having a good conversation", seemed to have some kind of unexpected conflict.

Shug, who had been sitting in his place before, came to the dwarf Badosa at great speed, and before the others could react, he reached out and grabbed the dwarf's clothes by the back of his neck and "lifted" him to the table.

The Black Sun Scepter turned slightly in Xiuge's hand, and the dark magic light and shadow quickly wrapped the staff, and as his arm lifted down, the staff with magical light and shadow was like a thin knife, pressing straight down on the back of Badosa's neck.

The sudden change attracted the attention of the dwarves not far away, and the irascible creatures jumped up on the spot, rolled up their sleeves, and hurried towards Shug.

Fortunately, there were still a number of members of the Dawn Society on the deck at this time, and they had already noticed Shuge's actions, and when they saw that the situation seemed to have changed badly, they immediately gathered and barely stopped in front of the dwarves who tried to rush towards Shuge.

Although the members of the Dawn Society had limited knowledge of magic, they had a great deal of trust in their young leader, believing that the reason why Shuge had taken such a seemingly extreme move must have been due to a special circumstance or an important discovery.

Xiuge, who launched a "surprise attack" on Badosa, didn't pay attention to these conditions around him, his right arm continued to exert force, and the black sun scepter wrapped in magic power continued to press down, but his right hand suddenly raised, only to see the black light and shadow flash away, and a short sword with a strange style actually appeared from his palm.

Seeing this scene, all the people nearby froze in place, and in the next second, they saw that the young man's left hand was raised steadily, and the sharp blade was aimed directly at the poor dwarf's back, it seemed that he wanted to cut his target alive in front of everyone!

"Damn it!"

"Stop!"

Chaotic shouts rang out one after another, and the nervousness and anger caused the dwarves who rushed over to crash directly into the people who tried to stop them, and for a while the scene became chaotic, and these members of the Sword of Dawn led by Richard were forced to fight back.

However, the force exerted by the two sides in this situation is not a concept at all, and the members of the Dawn Society have doubts in their hearts, and it is not good to be ruthless to these dwarves who want to save people, but the dwarves are different, these guys who are known for their bad personalities are already red-eyed, and punching and kicking are not enough, and one of them even grabbed a dinner knife and slashed at Richard in front without a head or face.

Fortunately, Richard's actual combat experience was quite abundant, and he responded to this situation in time, and the dinner knife only grazed his thigh in the end, and the slightly blunt blade did not even damage his trench coat.

At this moment, the black short sword that exuded an icy aura had already fallen, and with the sound of neat clothes tearing, some timid passengers directly turned their heads away, and some bold or curious people couldn't help but widen their eyes.

However, at the moment when Xiuge finished doing this, a curtain of magic descended, forming a translucent ring barrier with regular patterns of magic, blocking out all those who tried to approach him, and making it impossible for onlookers to see the development of the situation clearly.

Then, a sharp ice pick with a thin thread of cold magic flew out of nowhere, and it passed through the crowd at great speed, successfully separating the scuffling members of the Dawn Society from the dwarves, and the icy magic dragging behind the ice pick immediately turned into a physical cold rope, preventing the fighters from moving further.

"You are murder!"

One of the most ferocious dwarves of the charge, his hands tied directly with magic ropes roared.

A lot of plain slang and dwarven curses poured out of his mouth, and the ice pick immediately turned back, and it nimbly circled the dwarf's head twice, and the cold magic rope immediately blocked the big mouth of the guy.

Wei Lin frowned and walked out of the crowd, facing the sailors of the Windless and those of the Dharma, who had already arrived at the scene, she was extremely calm: "Okay guys, there are no murders or attacks here...... Do you smell the slightest bit of blood? It's just some unexpected situation! ”

In the current situation, Wei Lin's words were naturally not convincing at all, but in any case, when one side of the conflict showed enough strength, the chaotic scene finally calmed down a little.

The two Legislature mages stepped forward with sad faces, they had never expected this to happen, and although Verin's presence and explanation had calmed their hearts a little, as members of the Legislature, they had to show enough fairness on this occasion.

"Lady Verin......"

The two members of the Judicial Committee were a little apprehensive about the young female mage who had been on Merlinle's blacklist with Shug Ernst, but the uniforms they wore eventually forced them to ask Verin a question: "In any case, we need a reasonable explanation...... If Mr. Shugg hadn't attacked Master Badosa, then what exactly are they doing now? ”

However, Wei Lin shook her head slowly: "I don't know. ”

Hearing this, the expressions of the two mages immediately became violently turbulent, but immediately afterward, Wei Lin explained, "I just want you to know that Mr. Shug is not a crazy killer, let alone a butcher with prejudices against dwarves...... On the contrary, he is a very bottom-line and principled spellcaster, and a staunch opponent of the Black Sun Society. ”

Wei Lin's words paused slightly: "At the same time, he is also a scholar who knows very well about those strange lost powers. ”

Speaking of this, Wei Lin raised her hand and pointed towards the magical barrier that could blur her vision: "Please wait here for all those involved in this matter, I vouch for my personal reputation, what is happening has absolutely nothing to do with murder, on the contrary, what Mr. Shug is doing now is very likely to be a rescue to Master Badosa!" ”

……

As the epicenter of this incident, Hug is not unaware of what is happening around him.

In fact, he didn't need any of the members of the Dawn Society to stop any of the dwarves for him, and he was even ready to show everyone what had happened to Badosa, but the actions of the Dawn Society members and the presence of Wei Lin made Xiug abandon his original plan.

Now that Wei Lin has successfully created a relatively stable environment, Xiuge naturally will not waste such an opportunity.

The sharp black short sword that had been transformed by Charon's touch did not cause any damage to the dwarven Badosa's body, and under the extremely precise power control of Shug, it only cut the clothes on Bardosa's back, so the dwarf's back was directly exposed to Xiuge's sight.

At the same time, Badosa, who had been extremely flustered, finally realized that the real danger he faced was probably not Xiuge, but the strange existence that was constantly "crawling" along his back.

So he shivered and asked with difficulty: "My back is ...... What's wrong with my back? ”

"Hmmm......"

Xiuge stared at the dwarf's back, his brows furrowed slightly, the black short sword in his left hand flashed away, and the deep abyss magic emerged, directly enveloping the dwarf's back.

Badosa felt as cold as if his back had touched a large amount of ice, and he shivered and urged, "Please tell me what is on my back!" ”

His voice trembled, as if he was about to cry.

Shug's palms closed slightly, and the cold magic that had been exerted on Badosa's back began to shrink like a translucent claw.

Under the influence of this force, Badosa felt that the itching and crawling sensation on his back finally stopped, and then he heard the slightly strange voice of Shug: "Mr. Badosa, I have good news and bad news here......

"Bad news!"

The dwarf shouted, "Damn, please tell me, what the hell is going on?" ”

"The bad news is, a piece of skin on your back...... It may have had an idea of its own, not only legs and feet, but even a mouth and teeth. ”

Shuge carefully examined the strange thing that writhed in the magic of the Abyss: "The good news is that it won't kill you for its own survival just yet, but it won't be for sure. ”

Shug's statement was not an exaggeration, on the broad back of the dwarf Badosan, there was a palm-sized piece of skin, or rather, the flesh had undergone strange changes.

Under the influence of some unknown force, this piece of flesh and skin neatly "detached" from Badosa's body, and it seems to have become an independent "life".

It looks like a diamond-shaped flat bug, and its back even has the texture of Badosa's skin, and at the edge of this "skin", there are countless tiny tentacles, which look a little similar to those flat insects, and the itching sensation that Badosa felt before was caused by the tentacles of this "skin" crawling.

And in the center of this "skin", Xiuge saw two small black dots.

It was the eye, or rather some kind of eye-like organ, and the two black dots trembled violently as Hug stared at it, apparently alarmed by its discovery.

Between breaths, Xiuge's magic had completely formed a "circle", so the skin struggled violently and writhed, and seeing that he had successfully restrained the target's movements, two Calon touches immediately appeared from behind Xiuge, they were like two pliers in a surgical scene, reaching out with precision, and hooking the edge of the writhing "skin".

Calron's touch tugged back, and then Shog saw the normal flesh exposed beneath the skin, and he noticed that there seemed to be many "whiskers" connected between the mutant skin and the flesh of Badosa.

So Shug breathed a sigh of relief, and he reminded, "I'll help you get it off now...... It can hurt a little, and you bear with it. ”

"Good! Good! ”

Badosa's body was constantly writhing, and the frequency was so alarming that Shug felt like he was twitching.

The dwarf shouted at the top of his voice, "I can feel it...... It wants to tear me apart, it wants to suck my blood...... Help me get it down! ”

With Badosa's permission, Shug no longer hesitated, and the two Calon touches that hooked the target quickly pulled back, forcing the skin-twisted tentacles away from Badosa's body, and then a third Calon touch emerged, which appeared more slender and flexible, and the end evolved into a thin, sharp short blade, which was wrapped in a rich abyssal light and shadow.

In the blink of an eye, the short blade swept past Badosa's back, and the abyss magic that escaped easily destroyed all the disgusting flesh whiskers that connected the skin to Badosa's flesh, and the twisted vitality contained in it was also completely deprived and destroyed in the process.

"Phew! Suck! ”

The skin fell to the deck of the cruise ship, churning violently, a crisp sound coming from the thin inside.

As the twisted parasite left Badosa's back, the wound that had lost its skin returned to normal at this moment, blood flowed out, and Badosa couldn't help but let out a miserable howl.

At this time, Shuge finally loosened the grip on the dwarf, he tore off a page of healing magic from the magic book on his waist, and threw it directly on Bardosa's body, at the same time, under his control, the rich magic power quickly constructed a translucent magic cage, directly imprisoning the monster that tried to escape.

The parasite on Badosa's body writhed and struggled violently inside the magic cage.

The previous method of removal was quite violent, and it was evident that it had taken a certain amount of damage, and as the parasite writhed and struggled, "blood" was constantly falling on the deck.

Xiuge's eyes narrowed involuntarily as he looked at the bloodstains.

These "blood" unexpectedly reveal a familiar psychedelic color.
