Chapter Eighty-Three: The Cave of the Beast
From the words of the other party, it can be guessed that Lenny has somehow controlled the girl in the carriage, and then wants to send it somewhere, to someone.
"Could it be that this guy has something to do with the disappearance of the human population?"
Leo couldn't help but have such thoughts.
"But wasn't Hesfell the fault of that thing?
However, Leo did not detect any demonic aura in Lenny, and he also believed that even if Lenny had any way to conceal his aura, it would not be possible to lurk in a place like Tedasis where there were countless powerful people and powerful surveillance facilities were set up.
I asked a few more questions that were not prone to malpractice, but I didn't get any useful information.
Caini was already scared out of his guts, just a strong apology and assurance.
Leo didn't dare to ask deeply, if he asked some undesirable questions, he would probably leave indelible traces in the other party's memory, and in that case, he would be completely exposed.
At this moment, he very much wanted to learn the "soul searching technique", with this magic, he could directly probe the soul memory of the other party under the premise of suppressing the soul power.
It's just that it's a level 6 magic after all, and Leo is still far from this goal at the moment.
"It's really foggy. Illidia sighed, "If we can track it down, maybe there will be some amazing discoveries." ”
"But there is also the possibility of danger. Leo added.
Illidia nodded approvingly: "Yes, it is indeed possible, it is better to go according to the plan first." I think he is so afraid of being late, even if his leg is broken, he will definitely not dare to delay. Then we secretly follow him, and maybe there will be new discoveries. If this is really beyond our ability, we will retreat immediately and report it directly. ”
That's exactly what Leo thinks. Either way, it's all about getting the job done.
After adjusting his mood and expression, he said with majesty: "You accidentally fell into the pit that suddenly appeared and broke your leg, remember?"
Lenny replied with a blank expression, "Yes, I remember, I accidentally fell into the pit that suddenly appeared and broke my leg. ”
Leo asked three times in a row, and asked the other party to answer three more times. In this way, false memories can be completely rooted in the consciousness of Lenid.
After a short pause. Leo continued, "You've never seen me, and you've never said these things. You're going to Summerspring Valley, you have to get there as soon as possible!!"
"Yes. Under Leo's strong mental oppression, Lenny remained obedient.
Repeating it three more times, Leo was sure that there was no problem, and then with a wave of his hand, he ordered in an irreversible tone: "Now you are moving forward, no turning back!"
Hearing the order, Lenny did not dare to resist at all. Just take a step forward.
After a few seconds, he disappeared on the edge of the pit.
"Bang!" came the muffled sound of a heavy object falling to the ground, and there was a faint sound of bones breaking, the next moment. Lenny let out a high-pitched, piercing howl.
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
The driver, who was relieved of his slumber by Illida, asked loudly, and the girl in the carriage also jumped out, looking around for the source of the sound.
On the other side, Leo, who had used invisibility, and Illitya, who had been lurking in cheetah form, looked into the pit he had dug.
Lenny slumped to the ground. His face turned pale, and an unprotected leg bent into a terrible right angle.
"Tsk, it looks like it hurts a lot. Illidia said with grief. But no matter how you look at it, it looks like it's schadenfreude.
Leo smiled and shook his head: "I just don't know if they brought anything for treatment, it's really not good, and we have to secretly help them get on the road as soon as possible." ”
............
Half an hour passed, and in the incessant howl of ghosts and wolves, Lenny's broken leg was barely reconnected.
The Lillard family guards in the back still did not appear, apparently entangled by the Vandel family.
And whether it was the coachman or the girl, they all fell asleep in an instant and regained consciousness in an instant, so they just felt that it was just an accident and did not find any signs of abnormality.
As for Lenny himself, under the influence of the charm technique, he is even less likely to detect anything.
They don't know that at some point, their memories have been erased.
However, in the face of the big pit, the coachman still felt very strange. Even though it looked like it was formed by natural subsidence, the Supreme Forest, unlike the Grey Forest, did not have any subterranean world, and there had never been such a thing as subsidence before.
Lenny also felt a little strange, but now that his mind was full of his own lateness, how could he pay more attention to this.
Forcefully refusing the coachman's plea to return, he ordered him to drive through the nearby dangerous cliff to barely bypass the crater and continue on his way.
When the long car disappeared into the winding flower-filled path, a raven with a stone in its mouth soared into the air, keeping a safe distance, and followed the reindeer car.
A few hours later, as the sun approached set, the reindeer cart finally made its way to the flat roads of Summerspring Valley.
As the name suggests, this is a low valley, because the climate is suitable for many years, the four seasons are like summer, so the vegetation is extremely rich, and there are many springs, so it is named the summer spring valley.
In the thriving forest, although Lenny broke a leg, the reindeer cart not only did not slow down, but under his urging, repeatedly increased its speed.
"Young master, it's no longer possible! If it's faster, the car will get out of control!" shouted the driver sweating profusely, it was very difficult to control the car at this speed and in such an environment, and he felt that he was about to lose control.
"Give me speed! Keep speeding up! I must arrive before dark, and if you don't, you won't know what will happen to you!" Lenny replied with a manic roar.
The coachman has been working in Lillard's house for a long time, so he naturally knows what happened to those who angered the third young master.
For a moment, he even had the idea of controlling the carriage to collide and kill the nasty guy in the carriage.
Although he doesn't have any professional rank, he is still physically strong, and it will definitely have no problem to defeat a person with a broken leg.
But when I thought of it, there was a very powerful girl in the carriage. And he also has relatives at home, so he hurriedly put away this idea.
In the carriage, the girl was frightened and said hesitantly: "My dear...... I don't want a crown anymore...... Don't want it...... Let's slow down......"
Lenny didn't have the heart to pay attention to her, but after thinking about it, if she noticed that something was wrong and wanted to escape, there was nothing she could do to stop her in her current state.
With this realization, he quickly squeezed out a smile and comforted: "It's okay. Don't worry, my little darling, it's coming soon. I promise you'll have a moment of a lifetime, and imagine how beautiful it would be for you to wear a crown made of owl tail feathers, and even Princess Sophia of the royal family would be nothing more than an unnoticeable wildflower on the side of the road in front of you. ”
As soon as these words were spoken, the girl's attention was suddenly diverted. Although she was still a little scared. But I couldn't help but think of the scene described by the other party.
Dressed in the most gorgeous gown, wearing a rare and elegant crown of beast tail feathers, she greeted the admiring and reverent eyes of thousands of people, and the most famous Princess Sophia of Tydasis. was inevitably snubbed, and no one even wanted to pay attention to her.
"Really, dear, is it really going to be like this?" the girl asked, a little apprehensive, and a little expectant.
"Of course it's true! You'll find out in a moment. I will never lie to you. Lenny swore awkwardly.
The last rays of sunlight disappeared, and the reindeer car, which had passed through the complicated terrain, finally came to a slow stop in a very secluded place.
With the girl's support, Lenny limped out of the carriage.
He looked around. His eyes quickly fell on the entrance to a nondescript natural cave, and he said to the coachman, "That's it! Wait here, take care of the reindeer and the cart, and we should be back soon." Remember, be careful, I don't want to see you then!"
"Okay, young master. The coachman nodded hurriedly.
According to what the young master said before, it was the lair of the owl beast, and now it is impossible to catch pigs directly, but while the owl beast is sleeping, it should be a problem to secretly pick some tail feathers.
Even if the beast is accidentally woken up at that time, this kind creature will not usually attack, and at most will drive the intruder out of the cave.
However, the coachman himself did not have any intention of entering, although he was only a lowest-level moon elf, and lived by driving the reindeer chariot for the Lillard family, but he did not want to provoke the legendary very powerful owl beast, and then lose his life in a daze.
In that case, it is better to sell yourself and your family to human society, I heard that the people over there attach great importance to the Moon Elves, and as long as they find the right buyer, they can live a good life that they couldn't imagine before.
Looking at the dark cave, the girl instinctively felt frightened, and hesitated and said, "Honey, do we really want to go in?"
Lenny put his arm on the other's shoulder, transferred most of his strength, and replied, "Of course, we are here, should we return at once?" You see, my legs are broken, but I am not afraid, because I only want to see you more beautiful, and I am willing to do anything for you. ”
At the mention of this, the girl's heart suddenly tightened, and she apologized.
In her opinion, Lenny broke his leg and it was indeed caused by himself. If it weren't for the fact that he wanted to obtain the tail feather crown of the owl beast, this kind of thing would not have happened.
"Let's go, a little later, the moon will rise, and the beasts will wake up. Lenny urged.
The girl pursed her lips and nodded, "Oh, good." ”
With that, she helped Lenny towards the cave.
In the grass not far away, Leo sensed the change in Illia's expression out of the corner of his eye, and said in the lowest voice, "You want to save that girl?"
Illidia was obviously determined, and after a while, she shook her head and said, "No, let's take a look first." We may be able to save her now, but we will definitely be surprised, and then there will definitely be more victims in the future. ”
Now that he had made his decision, Leo didn't say anything more, just sighed in his heart.
Sometimes, the most correct decision is often the most cruel, and he understood this truth before he came to this world.
After a while, the two people in front of them had disappeared into the depths of the cave. Leo and Illidia were worried about losing their follow, so they immediately used their best latent abilities and followed them into the cave.
There was no light or sound in the cavern, only the sound of footsteps echoing, which became more and more eerie.
The girl has some strength, but after all, she is still young, and she is almost unable to hold on in the face of this situation.
"It's scary here, how far is it?" she asked, trembling.
Lenny knew what was going on inside the cave, so he replied in a calm tone, "The owl beast is very timid, and likes to place its nest in the safest place, don't worry, we are almost there." ”
As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful baritone voice suddenly came, "You're late." ”
"Who?!' Who's over there!" The girl was startled, and subconsciously wanted to hide in the depths of Lenny.
Lenny grabbed her wrist and thrust her forward.
In fact, the girl's absolute strength is greater than Lenny's, but she didn't have time to react when she was caught off guard, so her body fell forward uncontrollably, and finally fell to the ground with a normal thud.
Then, with a nervous look at it, Lenny explained, "Something went wrong on the road, and you see, I brought her here.
The girl on the ground turned her head, endured the pain, and said blankly: "Dear ......"
"Who's your dear?" Hahaha!" Lenny laughed deliberately to hide his nervousness, "You're just a sow, you think I'm going to like you?
"You ......" Although the girl didn't understand what was going on, she finally realized that something was wrong, and immediately wanted to activate her own bloodline power.
However, before she could make a move, an invisible pressure suddenly came, pressing her firmly to the cold ground. And with that, a pair of eyes that shimmered blood-red in the darkness.
"Well, the concentration of blood is not bad, and I can see that you did your best. The beautiful baritone voice came again.
In the next second, Caini was surprised to find that there was no longer pain coming from the broken leg that he had forcibly supported on the ground, but instead there was an indescribable numbness feeling.
He soon realizes that the other party is using some very strange but effective method to treat himself! (To be continued......
