Volume 1: The Golden Pocket Watch Chapter 115: Cleaning Up the Trash
With the help of the rapid strobe lightning that illuminated the night, they could see Ottoman Town as a circle of huge gray boulders, somewhat like a sheepfold, with many roads twisting and turning, crisscrossing it, more of a circular labyrinth than a small town.
The town of Ottoman is divided into three floors, some of which are tens of meters long, resembling the dwellings of giants, and some of which are too small to measure, some of which are compactly arranged, some of which have collapsed, some of which are still strong, but they are all stained with the traces of time corrosion.
Exactly as described in the book, including the architectural style and shape...... Link recalls what Lord Lords had taught in history class.
According to the records of the Ethereal City, Ottoman Town is a small town located on the Armenian plateau, and it is also a mythical town in the Ethereal Country, and at the time of the arrival of Ganon, Ottoman Town was the third most populous town in the Ethereal Country.
Ottoman Town is more than that, it is also the patron kingdom of legendary temples, and in ancient times, a huge temple sprung up within the town of Osman, which the Great Witch once predicted was the gateway where reality and myth meet.
At that time, the Ethereal Country was vast and had many towns, and the town of Ottoman was famous for its temples, so it gathered many mountain men and giants, as well as the Night Elves, and in terms of prosperity, it was comparable to the capital of the Ethereal Country, but unfortunately after the arrival of Gaynon. A large amount of dark filth erupted from the entrance of the temple, polluting the town that was once favored by the gods into a dark, gray, lifeless city of death.
"Alright, rest and start exploring Ottoman Town, remember, once you enter the town, you will encounter all kinds of strange things, exorcism charms are in your hands, be sure to be vigilant."
"Yes, Your Excellency, Commander!"
At about the same time, the young warriors pulled out crumpled yellow slips of paper from their backpack pockets stitched with hides, and painted them with strange symbols in sticky reddish ointment, the exorcism charms drawn by another demigod of the Dream Thief's path, Tia Hancock the Charmer, to ward off demonic evil.
"Well, good, Link, you are the brave man who drew the master's sword, lead the team well, and be responsible for the safety of each and every one of them." Captain Carlos turned his head to look at Link and patted him on the shoulder.
Link, who clenched the hilt of his sword and seemed to have two rounds of glitter in his eyes, bowed deeply, and then shouted to everyone around the fire:
"Everyone, come with me and set off for Ottoman Town!"
"Yes, Your Excellency!"
The group took weapons and marched to the town, Carlos bowed his head slightly, took off the flask at his waist, took a sip of spirits, walked on the side of the exploration team, followed the "Brave" Link, and entered the Ottoman town step by step.
Since it was an unexplored area, the streets were filled with rotting pieces of flesh and dry and filthy smoke, and there were traces of evil erosion everywhere, and all the way through, there was silence and no sound.
"Be careful, there's a lot of evil hiding in the dark." Link, whose face was full of fortitude, did not sneer, and the master sword in his hand was already trembling slightly, making a buzzing sound, which is one of the passive effects of the master sword, perception!
According to myths and legends, whenever the sword of the master is very close to the evil distance, the sword of the master will be silver and restrained, and the whining alarm will be issued.
Strange, only hearing the alarm, but not seeing the filth? Link couldn't help but look around, there was nothing strange staring in the mottled houses on both sides of the road, and there was nothing unusual in the sky except for diamond-shaped crystals.
Something is wrong, the Master's Sword is a magical item given by the gods, it doesn't deceive me, there must be something hidden here that I can't see.
Before he could perceive it more closely, looking for possible evils, he suddenly heard a rapid and frightened cry from his teammates on the other side:
"Yes...... There's something! ”
Link suddenly looked sideways, only to see ugly and distorted faces growing on the surface of the boulder house not far away.
The face was covered with a dense mass of worms, their regular facial features coiled in and out, crawling in and out of their mouths and eyes, and some of the slow-crawling worms began to fall down continuously.
Rumble!
A cold light flashed, hitting the thick wall with an unmistakable sound, and the mottled house and worm-strewn human face split in half and disappeared into the gloomy environment.
At some point, Captain Carlos was already half-crouching on his knees, swinging his sword, until the front collapsed and the strange face disappeared, he straightened up, shook the dust off his legs, and thrust the silver greatsword in his hand into the rotten gray stone ground.
As one of the highest combat power in the Ethereal City, this level of filth is like chopping melons and vegetables, effortlessly!
"Their name is Wormface, they are a kind of filth, they have the power of assimilation, if they are accidentally polluted, in a short time, about a dozen breaths, they will be assimilated into monsters like them."
"Oh my God, it's a horrible filth......"
"It's very likely that the humans who lived in Ottoman Town before were all assimilated by this monster?"
"You say, the insect face that the group leader attacked just now could be the living person before?"
"Attention, everyone, the worm face has reappeared."
The members of the team who had been discussing softly suddenly heard Link shouting in front of them, and at the same time, they saw dense human faces flashing in the darkness, and each of their faces was covered with worms, and they continued to extend here.
"Attack, attack!"
I don't know who shouted suddenly, and the rest of the exploration team members quickly attacked, the clergyman who touched the guard card summoned a barrier to defend in front, and the clergyman who touched the attack card hid behind, throwing the yellow charm used for the exorcism and the sharp arrow that smeared the ointment forward, hitting the monster in no particular order.
"Kakashi, keep an eye on the back of the team."
"Yes, Lord Link, ah...... Lord Link, what are you going to do? ”
The brown-skinned, unusually fiery girl was stunned for a moment, and she was staring at the team members behind her, but she saw Link and Captain Carlos rushing out left and right, and disappeared into the insect face nest.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Facing the insect face that rushed like a tide, Link held the master's sword high in the air, the silver-white holy light was dazzling, and countless sword qi were intertwined into a large net similar to that used for animal hunting, wrapping the insect face in it and tearing it to pieces.
"Hunting! It's worthy of the extraordinary power that Lord Link possesses. The members of the exploration team exclaimed.
"Heh, this kid's growth is a bit fast, it seems that my guess is right, what adventure did he have."
Carlos held the giant sword, smiled and walked towards the insect face step by step, as if it was a beam of light in this dark and deep darkness, a beam of light that illuminated the night, the darkness met the light, and began to hide everywhere, these insect faces were no exception, they felt the demigod aura emanating from Carlos's body, and retreated.
"Escape, can you escape?"
Boom –
A loud bang came, a crimson sword shadow appeared, and the crawling cheeks of worms began to shatter, and suddenly, this place seemed to become the entrance to hell, in addition to the insect face, all kinds of filthy and evil creatures crowded out of the ground and launched a charge one after another, and wave after wave were chopped into minced flesh, annihilated in the darkness.
