Chapter 59: The End

The preceding question is just to steer the conversation to the validation of this speculation.

"Is there still a possibility that this monster will mutate? Or maybe it's not his full form. ”

"Lord Newspaper, as you said, there is actually a higher form of the oni anchovy."

The supplementary narrative of the night combination made Wu's eyes light up.

Because his guess was confirmed.

This is the first time I have heard this news, and no one has ever told me about it.

But as the leader of the patron saint, can you only be surprised by such trivial things?

Wu remained calm, without a look of surprise.

"So do you have any knowledge of the higher-order forms?"

"Report to my lord, the above is a small anecdotal content - when the ghost anchoke absorbs a certain amount of blood, it will begin to produce 'blood chrysalis' to cover itself, and begin to melt its own flesh, gradually building a new posture."

"How long will it take to complete the metamorphosis?"

"If you live in a blood pupae, it will take about two months."

"If it's a blood chrysalis? According to you, is there any other way to transform? ”

"Yes, in fact, the ghost anchovy does not have to transform into a new body in the blood chrysalis of its own making, but instead there is a faster way to lodge - that is, it is directly lodged in a living living body."

"Do you mean a body like the one of the older men last night?"

"As you said - taking the body of an adult male as an example, about a dozen ghost anchovies can be lodged in the same body, and it only takes about half a month to come out of the pupal at the same time."

"It's a lot faster."

Wu calmly admired.

"It's a lot faster – but the outcome of the metamorphosis is still the same."

"Oh? Do you know the final form of the anchovy? ”

"I've heard that the ghost anchovy is actually very similar to a certain insect in the human world - that is, a 'butterfly'."

"The process of metamorphosis is very similar to the habits of butterflies. So in the human world, do people give proper nouns to the form of growth? ”

"Yes, this is known as the 'Deadly Butterfly of the Monster World', the 'Skeleton Butterfly' positioned as a high-level monster."

Wu nodded a little understandingly.

The ghost anchovy is positioned as a mid-level monster, and its power has naturally grown to a higher order after its transformation.

It's called a butterfly.

"Since it's a high-level monster, it's naturally dangerous, right?"

"Please rest assured that this will not hurt you in the slightest."

It's the same as Coult's conclusion.

But in this way, you can also carry out the next step with confidence.

In fact, I had a hunch that this monster had a higher-order form.

Of course, I won't be surprised that even monsters can't escape the natural laws of evolution.

"It looks like what I expected - in fact, I plan to preserve and cultivate these monsters."

"Please make it clear."

"You know that, right? There are a lot of living dead people in Kurt's space, and I plan to use those well-preserved bodies as a container for cultivating the anchovid, and at the same time try to change the final form of the anchovy. ”

"Are you planning to change the growth path of the anchovy?"

"Hmph, don't you think it's funny? At most, people's knowledge of this monster is limited to the 'skeleton butterfly'. If I can find something new or powerful, I think I can help myself. ”

"I really admire the idea!"

The shriveled voice was so in agreement with Wu's idea.

But the Night Pavilion is absolutely impossible to guess Wu's true thoughts—the true value of the oni anchovy to Wu.

"Anyway—the anchovid that I collected from the elderly man's body last night have been properly preserved by Chio with the elven aura that can prolong their lives, and maybe the anchovy will be able to temporarily wean the group out of flesh and blood. At that point, Chio will deliver the experiments to Kurt and transfer them into the flesh of the living dead. ”

"Little Leader, I will relay your instructions to Kurt in full."

"Well, let's talk to this point, summon Chio to come to me."

"Yes."

It had only been about a second since the order was given, when a breeze suddenly drifted over Wu's shoulder.

The breeze was mixed with the smell of dementor perfume, enough to confuse all men's scents—

It's a thousand tails.

She didn't show any panicked gestures or expressions, as if she knew that Wu was going to meet her.

"Is there anything I need to do?"

"Take the oni ancho you collected last night as fast as you can, and go to meet with Kurt."

"Are you going to deliver the anchovy to Kurt?"

"Pretty clever."

"Thank you very much for your appreciation."

Trying to suppress the love in his heart, Chiao, who was appreciated, responded calmly.

Because Wu's expression is quite serious, even the multi-faceted Chio knows how to recognize the face-

- Fortes was thinking that he should not be disturbed by his own willfulness.

"There are details about your meeting with Kot this time, and the Night Pavilion will tell you on the way there, as for the time being, there is no matter about you here."

"You mean—doesn't the little one need to come back for a while?"

"Yes—act with them once you've met up with Kurt."

"Dare to ask Lord Fortes, has the little one done something wrong that offended you?"

Chiao looked so nervous.

It's no wonder - Fortes is declaring with a serious expression that Chiao is temporarily useless to himself.

But Chio didn't know that there was nothing about her on this trip.

Will take Chiao with me, purely for fear that her temper will not be under her control.

But this decision by Fortes has already proved his previous thinking wrong.

"You're mistaken - instead of doing something wrong, you're executing it very well."

"Little ...... The little one doesn't understand, the little one didn't do anything last night? ”

"That's it——! It's because you didn't do anything that I feel glad. ”

"Uh-little ones don't understand."

"I didn't tell you not to speak easily when you entered the village last night, but you did carry out this alone."

Looking back, from the time he first entered the village to the time he treated the good old man, Chio really didn't say a word.

Despite Besimour and Lola's flirtatious tone towards me, Chio didn't lash out.

In such a small, dirty, and sour environment, Chio didn't dislike it at all.

She controlled her temper very well.

In this way, he dared to let her carry out the task alone.

Seeing that Chiao was still confused, Wu didn't intend to continue explaining.

No matter how you explain this kind of thing, it will always be a mystery for the authorities and clear to the onlookers.

"Anyway—I sent you to join Kot this time, and I have other things to entrust to you."

"Is it a new mission?"

"yes, that's what I only thought of this morning."

Knowing that he was being used more heavily, Chiao's face instantly revealed a sweet smile - immediately relieved.

It's just a little girlfriend in love.

"I hope you'll help Kurt and the Sirens tidy up our future habitat."

"How can I help?"

"Well, just treat it as my doppelganger and give them advice at the right time."

"The little girl doesn't dare to be!"

Chio lowered his head even lower, not daring to look directly at Wu.

"Isn't it good to be my doppelganger?"

"The little girl doesn't have the talent of you, not even one-ten-thousandth of you, not enough to be your doppelganger."

"You think of myself too strong, and you think of yourself too weak. The reasons I do it don't stop there. I want you to be able to think or make decisions on your own, and not to follow my will. ”

"But what if your plan is ruined because of the little girl's humble opinion?"

"It was an experience, and while it was punishable, it was still a worthwhile experience."

“…… The little girl instructed. ”

"Afraid of punishment?"

"The little girl is not afraid of pain, but she is afraid of dragging you down."

"Punishment is just a way to deeply understand what is wrong - in that case, do the best you can and prove your own talents, and don't let me down."

It was as if he had received an epiphany, and Chio was a little relieved.

With a relieved expression, he raised his head slightly and looked straight at Wu.

"Thank you for your earnest teachings, and the little girl will not disappoint you."

"Well—let's go."

"Yes."

There was another breeze mixed with aromas, but this time it faded quickly.

Wu stood alone in the village again, as if returning to the first silent morning.

In fact, there are many reasons for this-in addition to speeding up the execution of Kurt and Siren, and by the way, to cultivate Chiao's decision-making ability.

Because I had mistaken her before.

In fact, Chio is not an emotional god.

Let's put it this way—even though they will hug me unscrupulously in private, and even insult other patronus gods or lower gods, such a temper temper will not be easily manifested in business.

Chiao knows how to be patient, and is even good at observing the situation and improvising.

Although it may seem too hasty to draw such conclusions, Chiao undoubtedly has the characteristics of a leader.

Of course, it's not the current Chiao, and I have to slowly sculpt Chiao's carefulness and thoughts.

It would not be a wise choice to arrange Chiao to do nothing by his side.

There will come a time when I will not be able to take care of these guardian spirits - since I want to live in this world in a new body, I must be mentally prepared to be discovered by humans at any time.

At that time, I will not be able to call these guardian spirits as much as I want now.

"Are you Mr. Fortes, please?"

Suddenly there was an old greeting behind him.

Wu turned his head in a little surprise - it was the old man who had healed last night.

Different from last night's terrifying sickness, after a night of recuperation, the old man's expression was obviously much refreshed.

The long gray hair is scattered over his shoulders, and because of the severe hunchback, his body is much shorter than Wu.

Relying only on a wooden cane to support his thin curled up posture, he actually walked very steadily.

Let's be honest - this old man is simply more energetic than he was when he was alive, except for the thin figure covered in loose cloth and the long pale hair, it is difficult to tell his real age.

Can it be said that you should be old and strong?

However, without taking any medicine, he was able to recover so quickly, and it seems that after getting rid of the lodge of the ghost anchovy, his condition will improve significantly.

This also confirms that this particularly ferocious group of ghost anchovies does not have the slightest bit of toxin.

The old man's active and cordial greeting made Wu temporarily throw away his thoughts and turn into an amiable appearance.

"I'm none other than Fortes—I'm glad you're recovering so quickly."

"It's all thanks to your help."

"It's just a small effort, and it's just a reward for boarding your village."

"You're so humble! But I didn't expect those two girls to agree to your entry. ”

"Did you feel uncomfortable?"

Wu asked worriedly.

"How so? You are the benefactor who cured my strange illness, and you have no complaints. ”

"I'm relieved when you say that."

"The girls hadn't woken up when I woke up, so I didn't have a chance to ask—but I'm curious about where you came from."

"It's just a businessman from a foreign country."

"Is it just a businessman? To have such 'amazing power' is very asymmetrical to the status of a businessman. ”

The old village chief sighed so indifferently.

It's such an unintentional exclamation - Wu frowned slightly, hearing the weirdness.

Could it be that the old village chief in front of him was briefly awake last night and had seen his own strength with his own eyes?

I don't think I've ever used any magic around him, have I? Because the power of the villagers last night was used outside the wooden house, it was impossible for the old village chief who stayed inside the house to see it.

That's not right, either—the hero who healed the village chief was Longensmu, and the hero who suppressed the oni ancho was Chiao, and if it was a short period of soberness, it should also be admiring Longensmu and Chiao, who were in the same house, right?

Could it be that he inadvertently leaked the same breath during the process of visiting the sick, and the old village chief felt it?

Unknown.

In any case, the old village chief seemed to be very curious about himself.

But of course, he will not tell who he really is.

"In the original country, the leaders emphasized the popularization of martial arts, and even the small people in the market would have some tricks."

"I'm a little curious, but what country were you born in?"

"Well—it's just a small country that doesn't have a lot of unheard of, a small town called 'Song of Arrows.'"

The old village chief frowned and thought, but he just didn't have a clue about this country.

"It's really very unknown, and even the old man hasn't heard of it."

"Is it—hahahahaha."

Of course, it's normal to not hear about it, because I haven't even heard of it myself.

It's just a random name just made up.

"But it's amazing! It seemed like a few seconds had passed quickly, but I didn't expect it to be half a month. Now that I'm being rescued by outsiders, is it a hint that I should be a little more enlightened? ”

The old man sighed with feeling.

"By the way, I haven't asked the old village chief for your name."

"Oh! The old man's name is 'Heyerent. Warnerf', it's my fault for not being able to introduce myself to you first. ”

"That's a big deal. But then again, can you ask the village chief something about it? ”

"Excuse me."

"Because you weren't the first victim of the strange disease, and for that — I wonder if you've traced the cause of the disease?"

"Well...... this"

Warnerf frowned deeply, and the wrinkles on his face piled up, showing a distressed look.

However, the answer was quite disappointing.

"There's no definite clue yet, but there's some speculation."

"Can you tell me?"

"Although we don't pay much attention to the trends and news of various countries, we have heard a little about it—have you heard of the big country of the 'Kingdom of Aynk'?"

I didn't expect to hear the word "Aiinke" from others again on this occasion, in this capacity, and at this point in time-

Wu couldn't hide his surprise and froze in place.

"Why did you suddenly mention the Kingdom of Aynk?"

"Judging by your reaction, it seems that you know that Aynk exists, so I'll tell you - in fact, the Kingdom of Aynk is conducting some kind of experiment, about some kind of 'living experiment'."

"In vivo experiments? Can you be more elaborate? ”

"I'm sorry, but this was only a few months ago, but I didn't go too deep."

"Why do you know such a secret thing?"

"Every year Aynke wants to have a good relationship with us, but we always refuse, because we don't want outside forces to interfere with our simple village. And three months ago, they came to visit again. ”

"And then the other party told you about it himself?"

"Of course not. The army that came to visit was the white-haired magister codenamed 'End', the second rank of the famous 'Enk Magister'. The man was carrying a huge and terrifying coffin, and his whole body was covered with a terrible chill, as if he was a messenger of death from the underworld, and I was so frightened that I didn't dare to move at all. ”

"And then? Also talking about the cooperation agreement between Eynke and your village, right? ”

"Yes, but beyond that, our villagers have overheard a crucial conversation from the soldiers on standby nearby—about live experiments."

"But is that the only way to get information about that? Don't have any further details? ”

"Because no villager dared to approach the fierce army, they only dared to hide in the house and peek. However, Aynke is really insidious enough to arrange such a vicious person to come for an interview, and it is obvious that he is intimidating us! ”

Speaking of this, the originally kind Warner showed the anger of old age in an instant, and complained dissatisfied.

However, Wu was not infected by this emotion, and only thought about the origin of the Magister "Final".

When he was still a prince, he also knew very well that not all of the nine seats were good.

Although they were founded to protect the leaders of Einke, they also had their own wills.

And the person "Final" does not seem to be a normal person - it is definitely not understood from this codename.

I have heard of a certain magister who is good at touching all kinds of taboos, pursuing the limits of human flesh, mastering all kinds of magical fields, and even willing to sacrifice his soul to the unfathomable god of death-

This person is the second seat of the Magister Regiment, codenamed "Final".

Each seat cannot interfere with each other, and each has its own group of Magisters. The soldiers who followed the end must be loyal soldiers who have helped them for a long time, and they are also subordinates who serve the end of life.

Then these soldiers will know these things, which means that Zhong Yan is the person in charge of this live experiment.
