Chapter 540: Puzzles
There was nothing worth stopping at the castle, and Townsend took a quick divination and found the princess's location.
Townsend entered the forest, walked through the lush woods inhabited by various animals, and finally came across a forest hut.
Before he could get closer, he heard a commanding voice from inside.
"What the hell? Dogs eat better than this! Can this be called meat? ”
"This is the most tender piece of the fawn that I hunted from the forest."
"Who wants to eat this kind of thing!"
There was a clang, and something was smashed to the ground.
"I want the best ingredients, the best chefs, the best environment!" That voice sounded very green, but it had a temperament that people couldn't help but indulge in listening to.
Even if you don't see anyone, just hearing a voice is enough to make people reverie.
"I'm the best we've ever found." The other voice replied so quietly, there was no grievance in the voice, more humility and fanaticism.
"Then find something better!"
"Go outside the forest, go inside the villages, there are babies who can't walk yet-"
Townsend frowned.
It's not the same as what I see in the story.
But think of the butcher's usual tone when he talks about these things, and this is probably the world.
Fairy tales are beautiful after all, but most of them are just fantasies.
He walked slowly to the front of the house, the door was not closed, and in the depths of this jungle, there was no need to close the door.
The house was small, very low, and from the doorway you could see the smaller than usual furniture, as well as the small people one by one.
Townsend thought it would be more appropriate to describe them as dwarves than dwarves.
And at the back of the house, where the sun shines best through the windows, two gnomes are kneeling on the ground, and on their backs sits a girl in a gorgeous dress.
The sunlight reflected a little dazzling on her skin.
Townsend couldn't help but squint his eyes.
The girl's skin was as white as snow, but it was not unhealthily pale like Naomi, but natural, white as a jewel, with black and bright hair like a black waterfall sprinkled on top of her pale yellow dress, and her eyes were hazel, even if you just glanced at it, it was as bright as seeing the stars in the night sky.
is a girl who is beautiful enough to make ordinary people speechless.
It was clear that the faces of those gnomes were full of indulgence, and Townsend had no doubt that even if the girl let them die, they would not hesitate.
The stranger's intrusion had obviously startled the dwarf and the girl, and Townsend could see the girl's gaze looking him up and down, as well as the dwarfs' expressions that went from astonishment, to frowning, and finally to a fierce look.
"Who are you?" When the girl spoke like this, her voice was no longer as commanding as before, but with the innocence and agility peculiar to a girl.
Townsend didn't answer him, for the gnomes had already lunged at him.
"No steps into our house!"
"Damn, where are your eyes looking?"
"The princess belongs only to us!"
"Gouge out his eyes!"
"Pull out his heart!"
Like wild beasts, they wanted to kill Townese.
Knock Knock –
There was a heartbeat.
The bodies of the five gnomes who pounced on them came to a screeching halt, even the two gnomes who were kneeling on the ground as chairs, and they stiffened before falling to the ground in unison.
Long Wei directly shocked these fragile mortals to death.
The girl stumbled and almost fell over the chair.
She looked at the dead gnomes, but she didn't care at all, but instead showed a happy expression on her face, and said to Tang Sen, "Are you here to save me?" ”
She happily approached Townsen, "I've had enough of these dwarves, take me away." ”
Her tone was natural, her steps were light, and the hem of her skirt fluttered like a butterfly.
"I'm sorry, I'm here to kill you."
Tang Sen's face was expressionless, the magic in his body was working, and he raised his finger and pointed towards the girl.
Soul extraction is as simple as killing a mortal.
It was completely foreseeable that the beautiful body would fall as stiffly as these gnomes, and the ignorant and confused soul would be detached from the body, and it would be time for it to leave this meaningless heavenly world.
But the smile on the girl's face was still there, and she tried to throw herself into Townessen's arms as if she were running to her lover.
This made Townsend stunned for a moment.
"Failed?"
Townsen's research on the soul is okay, although it is certainly not as good as those mages of the Necromantic School, but it must be enough to deal with ordinary people, otherwise, he will not be able to free Tom's soul from the wick.
But the facts are right in front of you, and the girl is not affected in the slightest.
Tang Sen took a step back, avoiding the girl, his brows furrowed slightly, and the magic running in his body became even stronger.
"You don't look like you're here to kill me." The girl stopped and stood in front of Tang Sen with a graceful posture, "I haven't seen you, you must not be the queen's person." ”
"You're kidding me, aren't you?"
She smiled like a flower: "You don't need this, take me away, I can give you whatever you want." ”
Townsen's brow locked even deeper.
It still didn't work, his magic didn't affect the person in front of him at all, as if this person didn't have a soul at all.
Thinking of this, Tang Sen was suddenly stunned.
He quickly turned his head to look at the corpses of the gnomes.
They were dead, but Townsend didn't feel any spirits.
This is not normal.
After the death of any human being, his spirit body does not dissipate immediately, and even if some kind of god is responsible for extraditing them, there will definitely be a process of excreting from the corpse.
But these gnomes didn't.
Then Tang Sen violently recalled that the butcher he had killed, and the queen, did not.
"The creatures of the fairy tale side of the world have no souls?"
Townsend couldn't help but make such a guess.
But he quickly rejected the idea, the soul is the most important component of living things, at least in Townsen's cognition, unless it is man-made, there is definitely a soul.
Even if there are no wonders in the heavens and all worlds, there are indeed soulless creatures in the entire world, but—
You can't go wrong with procurement tasks.
Since the princess's soul belongs to the purchased commodity, then this thing must exist, unless the existence of this world exceeds the existence of the procurement task issued for himself, and Tang Sen does not think that such a possibility exists.
"Things are getting complicated."
Townsen's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Is it because I don't know much about souls, or because the souls of these creatures—"
"Missing?"
