Chapter 57: Puppetization
"Enough!"
Count Campbell was so angry that his face turned blue and he scolded angrily: "Teresa, who taught you to say such bastard and rude words!"
"I'm not lying!"
Teresa retorted loudly.
"Look!"
She took out two bloody puppets from the locker, and a faint smell of blood suddenly permeated.
Leon, Earl Campbell was stunned.
Even Lagaia's eyes widened, and she subconsciously reached out to cover her mouth to avoid exclaiming, intending to cast her own spell.
Especially Li Ang, at this time, a cold sweat broke out on his back.
Because of the two puppets in Teresa's hands, if you look closely at their dress, they clearly look like Leon and Lagaia.
And, the most chilling thing is that the limbs of the two puppets have been broken at this time, and only a thin layer of skin on their necks is connected to their heads.
All the wooden sections were dripping with blood, and the faint smell of blood came from there.
In the silence, Teresa said to herself: "The Bishop of Muladin and the strange-looking witcher who came before were killed immediately after the puppet died, as well as the woodcutter, the hunter, and the farmer...... So the two of them will definitely die too. β
"You!"
Count Campbell was shocked and horrified, and said violently: "Such a big thing, why are you only saying it now!"
Teresa was stunned by Earl Campbell's outburst, and immediately burst into tears: "Dad, why are you so fierce, and I didn't make them like this?"
She sobbed: "It's because they themselves are not strong enough to defeat the demons, can I say it, and they will be able to turn defeat into victory?"
Earl Campbell just felt that he was too irritable, and when he heard this, he was almost angry: "You shut up for me!"
"Count Campbell, don't be in a hurry. β
Leon endured a strong feeling of discomfort, pinched the two puppets in his hands, and looked at them repeatedly.
They have a thin layer of skin on their body, which makes them feel almost indistinguishable from human skin.
As for the material, it looks like wood, but if you carefully scrape off the wood texture, it looks white, and it is clearly bone!
Leon asked, "Miss Teresa, who gave you these two puppets, and who made them what they are now, if not you?"
"It's just an ordinary puppeteer, I ...... at the beginning"
Teresa sobbed and told her story of what she had been going through these days.
"This morning, the same man who carved the witcher and the bishop's puppets gave me these two more, and when I brought them back, they were fine, but who would have thought that they would be bloody and torn apart again when they came back from opening the door for you. β
After listening to Teresa's account, Earl Campbell almost spurted out a mouthful of old blood and passed away.
He never imagined that this disaster, which almost destroyed the entire Syracuse, was actually just a game that started with his favorite daughter!
Leon frowned.
According to Teresa, she bought the two puppets this morning.
But in the morning, they had just set out from Dante's hut.
Could it be that this puppet demon still has the power of an unpredictable prophet?
Leon frowned, Dante's demonology course didn't teach that!
At this time, the furious Earl Campbell was already furious, like an angry lion: "I'm going to burn these harmful things!"
Li Ang hurriedly stopped: "Your Excellency Earl, don't be impatient, since the death of each puppet corresponds to a living person, that is to say, these puppets have become a medium for the release of curses, and if they are destroyed rashly, they may cause a catastrophe." β
Earl Campbell was forced to calm down by Leon's words, and gasped: "Then what should we do now?"
Li Ang said: "We can only wait for the rabbit, since the puppet has been broken, the demon hidden behind the curtain will find us at any time." I'd like to see what this demon has to do to make us feel different. β
Earl Campbell said worriedly: "I will gather the guards and help the two of you!"
Li Ang shook his head and said, "No, ordinary soldiers have no meaning to this demon, but may become a burden, Your Excellency can provide my sister and brother with a quiet room that no one disturbs." β
"No problem. β
Count Campbell hurriedly said.
After Leon finished speaking, he took the two puppets in his hands and left Teresa's room with Lagaia.
As soon as he walked out of the door, Leon suddenly felt his body stiffen, like a small worm falling into a spider's web, and his body did not obey the call at all.
He tried to open his mouth to shout, but found that his soul seemed to have been stripped from his shell, and he was unable to manipulate his body at all.
He struggled hard, and the magic in his body was like a flood that opened the floodgates, surging and flowing, but for a while, he still couldn't take back control of his body.
"Evil Disperses!"
Lagaia's crisp voice rang out.
Sensing Leon's danger, Lagaia's ability to find her enemies could only give up the powerful single sorcery she had prepared and cast a protective spell.
A faint dark golden glow emerged from Leon's body.
Tension β
Vaguely, Leon seemed to see an invisible filament being cut off, and his body suddenly regained consciousness.
A sharp pain came.
Li Ang raised his hand to take a look, only to see that on his wrist, a series of wooden textures appeared, although it was rapidly fading at this time, it still made him break out in a cold sweat.
"This is puppetization?"
"Without a trace, you can make people become your own marionettes, this kind of ability is really terrifying!"
As if sensing that his methods had been broken, a voice full of evil suddenly sounded.
"Just a dwarf demon, a gluttonous fool who is countless times lower than the terror demon, don't wake up immediately, surrender to me, and release your killing!"
Leon looked back and found that Teresa's face was blue at this time, her body was filled with a thick black gas, and she made a hoarse male voice gloomily.
Count Campbell, looking at this scene in alarm, stepped back again and againβthe sound was as sound as the sound of Mulardin's head that night!
Seeing that Leon did not react, Teresa shouted again: "Dwarf demon, has your stupid will been exhausted, such a waste, such a stupid thing that is only worthy of food." β
Leon no longer looked at Teresa, but looked around warily.
Teresa is a mortal at all, and even if she is assimilated into her own puppet by the puppet demon, she basically poses no threat to them.
The enemy is still in the shadows.
"Leon, I'm going to start setting witchcraft traps now, be careful. β
Lagaia took out a lot of spell casting materials and began to lay witchcraft traps on the walls and feet.
This is the most common method used by wizards to deal with hidden enemies, and wizards are better at positional warfare than mobile combat, whether it is attacking or defending.
