Chapter 37: Peeping
The second watch of the festival ~ roar***
"Okay...... I understand that Weishenme, the Gold Eater Beast, is not dead, maybe the thing that chased us yesterday is a combination of the Gold Eater Beast and the Wraith, if that thing is released, it will definitely be fatal, so we can't let these guys succeed anyway. Dearlando was also silent for a while, and then made a simple conclusion.
"And what are we going to do now?" thought to Fayle, you can say it easy, how can we stop it.
"Since the Ring of Grud is the key, I'm going to get that out first. Fayer, can you use your knick-knacks to see where that thing is? The jewel in that ring should be the most powerful gem in the castle, followed by the ruby on Miss Pith's neck. ”
Fayl immediately opened his long strip of package, took out the box containing the Magic Detection Stone, and after opening the lid disguised as a book cover, Fayl put his hand on it and injected magic power.
The blue-green stone flakes gradually became transparent, and the dots of light appeared three-dimensionally inside the stone flakes. Fayle and Diarlandor are the two brightest spots, and a little further to the left, there are also two very bright spots that are very close together.
There are two more slightly fainter ones nearby, presumably Kenda and Martin, and the other scattered spots of light are faint and almost negligible. At the bottom of the stone flakes was a dense spot of light, needless to say, it was the huge metal monster underground.
"Isn't it...... Count Grude actually wore the ring with him all the time. "After observing the four points of light that were very close to each other for a while, several times, the two points of light were almost completely close together, and it was clear that the person holding the two gems was very close.
Diarrando paced a few steps, then turned to Fayle and asked, "Is there a way you can temporarily make Count Grude unconscious?" ”
Fayl shook his head: "Estimate the danger, now his entire consciousness is under the control of that woman's bewitchment, this kind of magic that controls the spirit cannot be superimposed, if I can control the Earl, I must be able to overshadow her magic power." ”
"Aren't you amazing?weishenme can't cover her with your dementorship?I don't think she would have the same magic level as you if she hadn't had that gem. ”
Fayle said expressionlessly, "Thank you for your compliment, but although my magic power is high, it is not the direction of refining mind control, which is the magic that the royal sword-bearer is best at in Bran." And there seemed to be something odd about that woman's body, and it wasn't just because of that gem. ”
"As soon as I remembered that, I heard the maid and Zanaya on the phone call just now, and it seemed that there was some kind of body reconstruction. The difference in the color of their eyes seems to be caused by this transformation, I saw the maid cut her eyeballs open, and then crawled out of it a few worms, what kind of spell is that?"
Fayle grabbed Deirlando's arm and asked, "Did she say anything when she released the bugs?"
"Ah...... Yes, what do you say, 'Go ahead...... When my eyes, when my ears, when my hands and feet. Diarlando repeated what Mina had heard Bran.
Before the words fell, Fairho shook off Diarlandor's arm and scolded angrily: "Why didn't you say it earlier!" and then immediately took out the bronze bone staff, and began to chant the incantation with a solemn face.
While reciting the incantation, Fair took out various small bottles from his bosom and sprinkled the powder around the room, and Zuihou even used the sharp angle of the cane to make a cut in the palm of his left hand, and after gathering a small pool of blood, he slapped his blood-stained left hand on the floor in the middle of the room, leaving a bright red palm print.
A reddish stream of air rushed from where he was standing, slamming into the walls, floors, and roofs, and the room was stained a faint red.
After seeing him do everything, Diarlando was a little out of breath, and it seemed that he had not had a lot of strength, and he couldn't help but ask curiously: "What is this doing again?"
Fayl gave him a blank look, poured himself a new glass of water, and then found a piece of cloth to wrap up the wound on his hand before speaking: "This is a defensive circle that can temporarily avoid the peeps of the royal sword-wielder. ”
"Peep?"
Without waiting for Dierlando to continue asking, Fayer explained in one breath: "You can understand it as an all-pervasive watcher, it can also cause some damage if necessary, but the main function is to spy on us. ”
"It is a part of the body of the royal sword-bearer, and can be released to move silently within five miles of its master, peeking and eavesdropping on everything, and if we are unlucky, everything we have just said will already be known to the enemy. ”
"Well, is there anything around here?" Diarlando turned his head and looked around, "Can't we catch that thing?"
"How do I know if there is? That thing was created to spy on us high-level mages and warlocks, and if we can find it restrained, what use does the Dragon King want it to do. Fayle said this, but he also walked around the wall and began to check.
"However, this batch of peeps was not directly released by the royal sword-bearer, and there may be a way to deal with it. If it is released directly, what the voyeur sees and hears will be immediately fed back to its owner. But now, this kind of release is released using other human bodies as a medium, and the information can only be reported when the speculum returns to the medium. ”
Fayl said as he lay on the ground, searching inch by inch along the corner of the wall: "If we are lucky, when the defensive ring was established just now, that thing is in the circle, and we can catch a live one." ”
When Diarlando saw him, he also lay on the ground and looked for it. You must know that the tiny worm, which looks like a gray silk thread, is not easy to find on the dark ground.
After thinking about it, Deirrando simply released Reis, and when the young dragon came out, he sniffed in the air, and immediately ran to a low cabinet in the corner, and Deirrando chased after him, and finally caught the young dragon before Reiss swallowed the speculum in one gulp.
"Here!" Dearlando cried, pointing to a small wriggling gray filament curling under the cabinet. Fayer immediately rushed over, pointed a slender glass bottle at the filament, and then gently disturbed the air current, blowing the filament into the bottle.
As soon as the filament entered the bottle, Fayle immediately took out a silver-dense cap and screwed it on, and then took out the honey wax, which melted and dripped on the mouth of the bottle, and sealed it completely. After everything was done, the mage relaxed and sighed heavily.
"Alright, let's see which royal sword-bearer has arrived in Turanda!" Fayle sneered and picked up the slender bottle, walked to the window, and began to use a small flame to scorch the peep inside the bottle.
Because it was stained with Fayer's powder and blood foam, the filament, which was already dying, suddenly writhed violently at this moment. Because of the high temperature of the flames, the hair-like slender body suddenly bulged out from the middle, filling the entire glass bottle like a balloon that had been blown up.
The gray skin is enlarged to the extreme, and it is tightly attached to the transparent glass, and you can see a fine spell-like pattern. Fayer turned the bottle carefully, looked around, and then snorted coldly and said, "I didn't expect Jia Fekelen to come." ”
Although Diarlando also leaned over to watch, but those fine spells looked similar, he couldn't see what the so-called magic signature looked like, but when he heard the name, he said: "Yes, I did hear that Zanaya was looking for a person named Fekelen when I was communicating, who is he?"
Fayle looked at Deirlandor speechlessly and asked, "What other important information did you not tell me?" he is the second-in-command of the royal sword-bearer, and knowing that it is him, then I have a general understanding of his style. ”
Fearing that something was missing, Diarlando repeated to Fayer what he had just seen in Miss Pis's room, and after listening to it, Fayle fell into deep thought. After a while, Fayer cleared his mind and began to explain to Deirlando what the enemy was going to do.
"As you might have speculated, both Pith and her maid must have undergone a physical transformation, which we call purifying rebirth. The color of the eyes was supposed to be a side effect of the transformation, through which the royal sword-wielder bestowed some of the abilities obtained from a mixture of various creatures to ordinary people. ”
"In other words, a certain part of the ability of the royal sword-bearer can also be given to ordinary people. In this way, even if they were originally just ordinary humans, they can be transformed into their minions, eyes and ears, and they can be spread all over the place. ”
"And what can they do to complete the task at all costs?" Dearrando thought of the handmaiden's resolute and excited attitude, and always felt that these reformers had some more powerful tricks.
Fayl shook his head and said, "I can't be sure, everything from body transformation and enhancement to soul destruction and despair curse is possible, depending on which creatures' characteristics are combined when they are transformed." ”
Diarlando sighed and said, "That is, there are at least three powder magazines here that can explode at any time, plus the one under the castle." If in case her two male servants are also reformers, it will be five, and there are ...... on the ship"
"There can't be that many!" said Fayer, interrupting Deirlando's calculations, "Do you think it's easy to transform people? Like them, who have normal appearances and are no different from ordinary people in their actions and thinking, the success rate is less than 1 in 1,000. ”
Diarlando blinked, sighed at the terrible transformation, glanced sympathetically at Fayle, and then spoke: "The only good news is probably that Miss Pith will leave the castle with her servants this afternoon and return to her ship. What are we going to do and best finish tonight......"
"Why don't we just get on the boat at night and kill them all?" Fayle tossed the small glass bottle containing the voyeur into the air, and then burned it into liquid with a ball of fire. Looking at the cloudy, blackened glass solution dripping onto the floor, Fayle smiled bloodthirsty.
