A quarter of an hour later, the king entered the stone fortress first.

"It's pretty cool." "And you can clearly feel the movement of air." ”

Flint: "It's a human building, but I'll admit it's half as good as our dwarves. ”

Elizabeth was relieved.

Marika handed her skin bladder, and the princess immediately took it and pulled out the cork and drank booze. A few restless drops of water dripped onto her chest.

Wang took out the water bag and drank a few sips by himself, and handed it to Xiaobai casually: "You drooled so much, and you should replenish some water." ”

Xiaobai drank almost a whole bag of water in a more heroic posture than the princess, and then exclaimed while wiping his mouth: "It's refreshing to drink now." It's still in human form, and you can sweat all over your body. ”

Wang: "The human form can also use the skin to dissipate heat, of course it is cooler." ”

At this moment, the iron gate in front of everyone opened, and a brown-haired man with a serious expression led a group of soldiers out. The man's breastplate was tattooed with the coat of arms of the Earl of Keiki, and he was supposed to be the Earl's son.

He glanced at the crowd and held out his hand to the mage, "I'm Ralph, and my dad has sent someone to inform us that Langdon's envoy is going to fend off tonight's attack with us. You're an envoy, aren't you? ”

Wang let go of his hand and said with some embarrassment, "I'm not." Next to this Elizabeth Langdon is. I'm just the captain of the squad. ”

Ralph looked at Elizabeth suspiciously, "Your surname is Landon?" So it's the Duke's sister? I didn't know that the Duke's sister would come to visit us. After all, this is just a ruined county that is about to die. ”

Wang: "Indeed. ”

The earl's son was stunned, apparently he had not seen such a straightforward way of speaking from the king.

But he immediately decided not to care about such a thing, and said to Elizabeth: "Your Highness, what are you doing with us?" If you're going to borrow our soldiers to overthrow the duchess's crazy uncle, you should talk to my father. ”

Elizabeth: "Our main goal is to deal with the crisis of the end of the world. Specifically, trouble with an evil order. We suspect that the troglodyte's ground assault is related to the Order. ”

Wang: "There is no direct evidence to prove it. It could also be that there is something more evil and terrible underground, crowding out the cavemen's living space. This has happened before, such as when the ogres of the Second Age were forced to leave their traditional places of residence because their homeland was overrun by dragons. ”

Elizabeth pointed at the mage, "That's what he said." You just talk to him. Although the envoy is me, he has the final say. ”

Ralph, the son of the earl, looked back and forth at the two suspiciously: "What do you mean?" ”

Elizabeth: "After all, I'm just a silly white sweet warlock in the ranks. ”

She paused, then added, "Responsible for firing scorching rays." ”

Ralph was shocked and looked at the mage again with a strange gaze, "This is so fresh...... So whose are your results? ”

Wang and Elizabeth pointed at each other: "He/she! ”

Ralph: "You're messing me up. Forget it, it doesn't matter, just tell the mage anyway, right? Maybe it's because I have met fewer adventurers, but it's the first time I've seen a squad led by a mage. ”

Wang: "Let's go back to the cavemen." Cavemen have been attacking the fortress from underground many times lately, right? ”

"Yes. To be honest, I wasn't born when we opened the cavemen's lair, and we've been safe with them for so many years. Now, suddenly, as if enchanted, they poured out of the crypt and attacked the surface. ”

Wang: "It looks like something terrible has taken over the ground and driven them up. ”

Elizabeth interjected, "Could it be the Order of the Mother of Life?" ”

Wang: "That's exactly what we're going to investigate, and if you preset the answer before you investigate, you're likely to mislead yourself." ”

Ralph: "What is this Order?" Sounds like a variant of Ramashtu. ”

The king looked at the duke's son with some surprise: "You actually have a certain understanding of religion?" ”

"I have learned that it was forced, and in the fight against the cavemen, we found that the cavemen had abandoned their age-old shamanic magic and had come to believe in Ramashtu, the protector of all disgusting monsters. Given the appearance of the cavemen, though, I'm not surprised that they believe in Ramashtu. ”

Wang frowned: "Did this change of faith happen at the same time as they began to attack the ground?" ”

Ralph: "The troglodytes don't look like they've just been converted, and their armor and shields often have the emblem of Ramashtu painted in blood, and it's clear that the Ramashtu followers are widely distributed throughout the troglodyte tribe. ”

The king glanced at Xiaobai, and then asked Ralph, "Did you see any unusual monsters when you were fighting the cavemen?" ”

This is the information that Xiaobai got from the animals.

Ralph: "Yes, we've killed some. ”

"Is there a corpse?" Wang immediately asked excitedly.

"Follow me." Ralph immediately gave way and made a gesture of please.

**

Upon entering the morgue, Xiaobai immediately vomited.

Wang didn't ask Xiaobai, he knew why she vomited suddenly: the smell in the air was so terrible that he wanted to vomit himself. For Xiaobai, who has a more sensitive nose, standing in this room is probably a kind of torture.

The werewolf druid turned his head directly to run, but was grabbed by Wang Yi and pulled back.

Xiaobai: "I'll bite you!" ”

Wang: "You have to help me identify what these creatures are." If it's the case with Langdon, these creatures must have come from some kind of ready-made animal. ”

Xiaobai let out a scream of unknown meaning: "Woo wow, ahhhhh ”

Elizabeth was obviously relented, and patted the king on the shoulder: "It would be good for you to identify it." ”

"I'm good at anatomy, but I'm certainly not a druid. Let professional people do professional things. Don't look at her miserable now, as long as she stays in the stench for a long time, her brain will actively ignore the stench, which is called 'getting used to the stench'. ”

Xiaobai burst into tears: "I don't want to get used to this!" ”

Wang: "Gautrek, hold her, don't let her run." ”

Gao Trick looked embarrassed, and finally came over and grabbed Xiaobai.

Xiaobai made the kind of "whine" sound that a dog would make after being wronged.

With a serious face, Wang suggested, "You can become an animal with an insensitive nose. ”

Xiaobai immediately stopped screaming: "That's right." ”

The next moment she was a hen.

Xiaobai: "Goo-goo-goo-goo-go Goo-goo! ”

She flapped her wings at the same time as she called, and she looked very happy, probably with the smell of a chicken, she was not afraid of the stench in the room.

Wang silently took out the lancet he had used before from the dimensional pouch, and then took out the leather gloves that were used to cast the spell material used when he used to cast the Bigby Disturbing Palm, and put it on his hand, then dragged one out of the pile of monster corpses and began to dissect it.

As the lancet punctured the cysts on the monster's body, an even more terrible stench filled the room.

Elizabeth covered her mouth and turned to run, but when she ran to the door, she couldn't hold it anymore and threw herself up against the door frame.

The dwarf took out his pipe and covered the stench with the strong smell of smoke.

The barbarian also silently took a few steps back.

Only the Drow Elves stood by with their usual expressions, carefully observing the monster dissected by the mage.

"It doesn't look like a known creature." "At least not like any beast or magic beast I've ever hunted," she said. ”

Wang: "Indeed. Taxonomically speaking, this thing is different from most of the beasts known so far, and my personal feeling is that this one is more like the product of a failed magical experiment to create creatures. ”

Marika: "That's what you just said, isn't it?" There's a terrible mage underground, experimenting with magic and creating terrifying monsters. ”

"No, these things went to the surface with the cavemen." Wang continued to dissect as he spoke, "To be honest, this doesn't quite look like an existing magic beast. ”

The dwarf nodded, "Unlike most of the underground dwellers I know. His eyes don't look very developed, but look here! ”

The dwarf pointed to the organ that the king had just removed: "I bet this is some kind of hearing organ, and this guy can't hear either." Is it like a worm raised by gnomes, which finds its enemies by shaking? ”

As soon as Marika heard "Gnome Worm", she immediately showed a look of disgust: "Don't mention those disgusting things, the gnomes actually domesticated it into a mount, and the Gnome Worm Cavalry is the funniest thing I've ever seen." ”

Wang: "As far as I know, the dwarf worm cavalry has achieved great success. ”

"Hmph, it's just a brilliant result for the gnomes. You must know that gnomes are not good at fighting. Marika said dismissively.

At this point, the king finally dismembered the last piece of rotten flesh, and he stood up and examined his masterpiece from a global perspective.

Wang: "This thing seems to have failed completely as a living being, and it should not be able to survive on its own in nature." What do you think? ”

Xiaobai: "Goo-goo-goo-goo-go ”

Wang: "If you don't want to change back, do this: if you recognize what kind of creature it is, you coo, and if you have never seen it, you coo five times." ”

Elizabeth, who had just returned from vomiting, was shocked: "Why five times?" ”

"Prevent miscalculations." The king replied, "Xiaobai, let's begin!" ”

Xiaobai: "Goo Gu Da X5"

Wang: "She hasn't seen it either. That's telling. ”

The mage turned to the native lord's son, who was already hiding outside the house and quietly peeping out, and said, "Sir Ralph, how did the cavemen use this monster when they attacked?" ”

Ralph: "They threw foul-smelling carrion at us, and it followed the smell. By the way, this thing is very difficult to kill, because I don't know where to cut, and I end up poisoning them to death. The poison for the wanderers that we ordered from the White City of Monrovia has cost our family all of our money for it. ”

Wang: "Isn't this thing anti-poison?" When I was in Langdon, I didn't catch a few mutant cats to test if they were toxin-tolerant. ”

He stood up, put away the lancet, took off his gloves and threw them directly on the ground, and said, "Okay, I probably know the situation." We're going to try to catch one alive tonight, and I'm going to test his reaction to positive energy. ”
