Chapter 108: The General's Strange Illness
Proud Snow City, sitting on the leyline spirit core in the snowfield, has been a military important place since ancient times, large and small wars are continuous, the folk customs are quite strong, and the nature is aggressive, but it is also well versed in the truth of becoming a king and defeating a king, and the most respectful for people with superb military force.
The news that Ye Ling single-handedly killed the ghost spell master, blocked the flying head in the sky, and rescued dozens of Hong Yuan sergeants spread in the city in an instant.
The people of Aoxue City, who had originally heard Ye Ling's legend and maintained a skeptical attitude, now that the facts were in front of them, they came out of their homes one after another, hoping to see the figure of this young hero.
Ye Ling is twenty this year, it is the age of heroism, and she is extremely handsome, the girls of the northwest tribe are all unrestrained, which is very different from the introverted personality of the girls in the south, and they all stand in the market, showing their admiration to Ye Ling, and even throwing kisses.
Ye Ling waved politely at them, and his steps were extremely fast.
To be honest, he didn't bother to pay attention to these girls, even though each of them was really beautiful.
The great general Hua Qingye is the number one brave general in the Hongyuan Empire, and he has reached the triple realm of the human king realm, and has been guarding this important place in the northwest for more than 20 years.
How could such a strong man suddenly become insane?
With doubts in mind, Ye Ling finally came to the door of the General's Mansion.
The decoration of this general's mansion is not luxurious, but it is very magnificent, and in terms of scale, it is several times larger than Ye Ling's own mansion.
After all, the vast ice field in the northwest is not a place where every inch of land is expensive like Yuyang City, and as a famous general who has made countless contributions to the Hongyuan Empire, it is understandable that the family house should be built larger.
Ye Ling stepped up the stone steps, and before he could knock on the door, the door opened automatically.
"You're back, go and check it out. β
The person who opened the door was Zhang Buyu, he felt Ye Ling's breath, and opened the door directly.
There are not many domestic servants in the Hua Mansion, and the road to the general's bedroom is still taken by Zhang Buyu.
Along the way, he passed through a total of three compounds.
In the courtyard, there are not gardens, fish ponds and other scenery that Ye Ling expected, but three empty large squares.
Three giant trap beasts were placed on the square.
The beast is surrounded by scaffolding, and it looks like it's being repaired or transformed.
The scaffolding and the bodies of the war beasts were covered with white snow, indicating that they had been idle for a while.
"You should know them, right? This is a tiger-type war beast, the one in the courtyard just now is a bear-type war beast, and the other one is an eagle-shaped war beast, which has not been put into use yet. β
Ye Ling nodded in agreement, in fact, the only thing he had seen was a tiger-type war beast, and he really hadn't seen the other two.
"These war beasts were all transformed or invented by General Hua, and his illness, the research and development of many new weapons have been shelved...... Zhang Buyi said with a sigh.
Ye Ling's previous understanding of General Hua was only in himself, knowing that he was a master of the triple realm of the human king, and he was one realm higher than Zhang Buyi.
Only now did he realize that General Hua had such a fascinating study of the art of the mechanism.
Thinking about the longbow he made, he used to be proud of his craft, but now compared to these sophisticated machine war beasts, it was really as simple as child's play.
"No wonder the General's Mansion covers such a wide area, it was originally for the study of battle armor......" Ye Ling muttered.
Walking through the three squares, Ye Ling came to General Hua's courtyard.
At the door of the general's bedroom, Ye Ling saw Xiaotang holding the flower spirit staff, bowing his head and sobbing.
Garcia and Jia Yong sat next to her, Garcia put her arms around Xiaotang's shoulders, and Jia Yong peeled oranges with his head in order not to make himself look too helpless.
Ye Ling walked over and called Xiaotang softly.
Miss Xiaotang raised her head, cried so much that pear blossoms brought rain, and said to Ye Ling: "Brother Ye, my father, my father doesn't know me anymore." β
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of it for you. Ye Ling pressed Xiaotang's shoulder and said.
After getting along with Xiaotang for a few months, it was the first time Ye Ling saw her crying so sadly, whether she was chased and killed or in danger, Xiaotang would not shed tears like ordinary girls, Ye Ling thought that she would not cry for a long time.
Ye Ling looked at Garcia and asked, "What's the situation?"
Garcia shook her head, "I thought it was an evil spirit possession, but it wasn't. β
"What elseβsome kind of ghost spell, or blood spell?"
Garcia shook her head.
Ye Ling looked at Zhang Bucheng again, and Zhang Buyan also shook his head lightly at him.
"Hmm......" Ye Ling sighed with his nose and said, "I'm going to go in and have a look." β
After that, Zhang Buyi threw a keychain at Ye Ling.
"Take this unlock, don't lose it, we have to return it to others. Each lock and key has a corresponding color. β
Ye Ling took the keychain and found that there were six keys on it!
How can a small bedroom have six locks?
Walking to the door of the bedroom, Ye Ling saw that there was a drop of blue oil paint on the big copper lock in front of the door, so he picked up the same blue key and opened the copper lock.
When he opened the lock and opened the door, he found that there was a temporary metal door inside!
The style of this metal is obviously the gauntlet on the bear-shaped war beast installed, the material is indestructible, very heavy, and it is really a waste to use it as a door.
The two locks opened, and Ye Ling directly entered the room.
There was a stench in the room, as if this was not a grand general's bedroom, but a ruined temple with a dozen beggars.
Another temporary metal door separates the bed position of the bedroom from other spaces, so that the bed is there, forming a small space.
On the ground, Ye Ling found some dried bloodstains.
Following the bloodstains, he found that in the corner of the wall, there was a large brass basin, and in the basin was raw meat, judging by the pattern of the meat, it was obviously beef.
In order to verify his guess, Ye Ling leaned over, and just as he was about to reach out to check, he saw a small opening on the metal door, and a dirty and thick arm stretched out from the small mouth and dragged away the fresh meat in the copper basin!
Ye Ling was startled and retracted his hand suddenly.
"General Flower...... Is that you?" he asked tentatively.
"Hmph...... Hmm......" On the other side of the metal door, there was a beastly roar.
Ye Ling couldn't help but wonder.
To put it mildly, if it weren't for the arm that was exposed just now, Ye Ling wouldn't even be able to determine whether the creature behind the metal door was a wolf or a person!
Guessing like this is not a solution, in order to cure General Hua's illness, you still need to get close to him.
Ye Ling looked at the copper lock on the metal door and found the key corresponding to its color.
"General Hua, don't get excited, I'll open the door to see you!" he said.
