Chapter Ninety-One: Stitching Monster
Since the goal of the mission once again pointed to the castle of Said, and with the current state of these villagers, I am afraid that it will be difficult to get any information about the castle from their mouths, so Rossi, who is too lazy to entangle with them, proposes to go directly to the castle to investigate.
"What about these villagers? Isn't it clear? ”
Erin looked out the window at the villagers who were throwing their weapons in this direction and asked, "And aren't you searching in this village?" You might be able to get some useful information. ”
"There's not that much time."
In the quest panel, there are less than two hours left for the case to be timed.
"And these villagers are not much of a threat to us, so there's no need to waste time on them."
As he spoke, Rossi raised her wand and pointed at the roof.
Under the effect of the advanced transfiguration, the roof quickly rolled up from the middle to the sides, revealing a gray sky.
Two minutes later, the trio rode across the lake and came to the outside of the castle.
After making Erin invisible and telling her not to act on her own, Rossi and Rossi walked through the garden, came to the door, and said with a smile to the maid who was guarding there:
"Hello, we are travelers from Brantania and would like to visit Countess Isabella."
At the mention of Brantania, she stared into the other's eyes, trying to see some clues in her eyes.
However, the maid's eyes did not have the slightest wave, and she just said calmly: "At this time, Madame should be bathing, and you have to wait a while." ”
After a pause, she asked again, "Did you receive Madame's invitation?" Please show me the invitation. ”
Invitations?
Rosie and Fan glanced at each other, subconsciously pursed their lips and said, "On the way here, we were attacked, and even the carriage was left there, so ......"
She spread her hands and said there was no invitation.
Hearing this, the maid, who had always seemed very flat, let out a puzzled "um", and immediately asked, "What attacked you?" ”
Tightening the hand holding the copper crossbow hidden behind his back, Fan said bluntly: "Ghoul." ”
He didn't seem to want to be false with the other party, and was ready to go to war directly.
Huh? How did he just say it? Isn't this a clear telling the other party that we are not easy to mess with?
Once she's on guard, how do we get out of her mouth?
Muttering silently, Rosie looked at Fan in surprise, she had felt that something was not quite right with Fan's emotions from the time she heard the priest refer to the ghoul as a servant.
Hostile to evil gods? He can't be a believer in some righteous God, right?
"Ghouls?"
Just when Rossi thought that the situation was about to break out, the maid who was looking deeply at the two of them suddenly glanced in the direction of the village, and said in a contemptuous tone, "It seems that those fools will soon understand what it means to raise tigers." ”
Eh???
Hearing her words, Rosie couldn't help but be a little dumbfounded, what do you mean? Could it be that they are not in the same group?
In a flash of thought, she said tentatively: "I heard from the village priest that they call ghouls divine servants? ”
"That's why they are stupid."
The maid obviously didn't want to talk in detail, so she made a mocking perfunctory remark, and then turned and led the two of them towards the castle.
The hall on the first floor of the castle is large, with a lot of furniture and furnishings around the wall, but the middle looks a little empty.
Although the maid said that it was for the convenience of the party, Rosie always felt a little weird.
"Where are we going?"
At this time, Fan, who had been cautiously patrolling all the way, suddenly spoke.
"Madame's parlor."
The maid replied in a relaxed tone, "Madame usually receives distinguished guests there. ”
As she spoke, she pointed to a passage ahead: "It's not far, it's right there, just turn a corner." ”
Not far away? It's all about going from the east side of the first floor to the west ......
The thought of complaining paused, and another thought flashed in Rosie's heart:
There was not even a single movement in this huge castle except the sound of their footsteps!
"Isn't there anyone else in the castle?"
"Madame likes to be quiet, so I am the only servant in the castle."
The maid explained, picking up her steps.
Gone in such a hurry, her heart is empty?
Is there her in that so-called parlor? Or is there some trap hidden?
Thinking of this, Rosie raised her eyes and glanced at Fan, and then quickly stood in front of the maid:
"Are the guests you just mentioned, including Lady Margaret?"
The maid was stunned for a moment, and then a strange smile appeared on her face: "Of course, that lady is now bathing with our lady." ”
"Ahem!"
Fan, who was already ready to make a move, couldn't help but cough lightly twice, and let go of the hand holding the copper crossbow that was quietly behind him.
Not only Fan, but Rosie, who heard this answer, couldn't help but be a little stunned.
With such a delay, the maid who had bypassed Rosie had already turned into the passage, and the next second, an iron fence fell from above, separating her from Rossi.
Immediately after, all doors and windows also fell down the fence, blocking all the way out.
At this time, the maid on the other side of the passage suddenly laughed suspiciously:
"It turns out that you are here to find someone, don't worry, soon you will be like her, and you will become Madame's bathing companion!"
As she spoke, she slammed a switch on the wall.
"This is for those of you who are agile, enjoy it!"
With the sound of mechanical turning, the floor in the center of the hall slowly opened, revealing a deep circular hole.
Immediately afterward, a huge monster was transported out of the ascending platform.
"What kind of stitching weird ??? this?" Seeing the image of the monster, Rosie couldn't help but complain in shock.
Physically, it's clearly a larger ghoul; But its stout limbs are clearly of werewolf origin; The head is the most bizarre, although the upper part should belong to an adult male, but below the nose, there are more than a dozen tentacles that will squirm with breathing, which looks like the mouth of a horned camel.
"Old rules, Seit!"
The maid smirked and shouted at the monster, "Kill that male!" Leave the woman's knockout to Madame! ”
Is it Said?
The original owner of this castle?
It was sewn into this ghost by Ixstis?
Just as many speculations were popping up in Rossi's mind, Seyt, who heard the maid's shout, howled in the sky, and then rushed towards the two of them.
"Protect them all!"
As he drew his wand and laid a barrier around it, Rossi quickly tapped it on the shield.
"Peacefully guarded!"
"You're a wizard?!!"
The maid was obviously a knowledgeable person, and when she saw Rossi casting a spell, she turned around and ran to the room at the end of the passage.
At this time, Said, whose body had been shot several arrows by Fan in succession, rushed forward as if nothing had happened, and his sharp claws flashing with cold light slammed into the defensive barrier.
"Bang!"
Although it was successfully bounced away, where the claws touched, cracks immediately flashed.
It's a stitching monster, and its damage tolerance and attack power are very strong!
Rosie sighed, and before its second attack fell, the tip of the staff slammed into it:
"Retreat three feet!"
The pale yellow spell struck Seit's body, instantly knocking it back two meters away.
Before it could stand still, an orange magic rope spawned out of thin air with the crisp sound of Erin's incantation, tying it to its body in an instant.
"Hurry up and be imprisoned!"
At the same time, Fan on the side also re-set up his bow and crossbow and shot three arrows in a row.
The demonic arrow pierced Seit's body with precision, and purple arcs of lightning spread from the arrow.
