Roland was shocked when he heard the news. ,Chinese,…
He didn't have time to ask, and hurriedly followed Ye Zi to the back garden of the castle, only to see Lightning unloading two devil corpses from Maisie's back to the ground.
"His Royal Highness, we have won!" Seeing the prince, the little girl jumped down and plunged into his arms, "We have defeated the devil!"
"Anyone hurt?"
"No, everyone is fine," she raised her head, her eyes flashing with the light of coming to praise me, if there was a tail, it must have been shaking.
Roland sighed, and seeing the other party's expression like this, he couldn't face to face the responsibility of why he saw the devil but didn't report back, so he had to put this issue aside for now, "It's fine if you're not injured, then... what's the specific situation? ?"
After listening to the three people's answers, he finally got a general idea of what happened.
The battle may seem easy, but in fact the risks are not small. If Maisie hadn't forcibly swallowed an arc and was safe, or if the devil had the means to break free from the shackles of the leaves, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Next time, don't do this kind of risky thing again," Nightingale couldn't help but appear. "With Sylvie here, it's impossible for the enemy to escape. It's better to leave it to us to fight against the devil."
"But we won," Lightning pouted.
"That's good luck. Before the fight, did you expect Maisie to be hit?" Nightingale said mercilessly, "I teach you the art of spearing so that you can protect your sisters in times of crisis, not Take them deep into danger!"
"Yes..." Her head drooped down, "I see."
"And you too," Nightingale continued to look at Maisie, "Knowing that you should report back to the letter at this time, and you are making a fool of yourself with her, if you make this kind of mistake in the future, you will never eat a piece of dried fish from me! "
"Gu..." Maisie's head also dropped.
After all, she was the most powerful witch in Border Town. Roland glanced at Nightingale approvingly, "Okay, this is not an exception. Go and call Tilly and Agatha for me. The next step is to check the spoils."
…
In the basement of the castle, two corpses lay flat on the cold slate floor. Their bodies were stripped bare, and their torn clothes and belongings were neatly placed aside.
"This is the enemy in the Battle of Divine Will?" Tilly said while covering her nose.
"It doesn't look much better than ordinary people," Ashes pouted,
Agatha had a gloomy expression on her face, "Don't underestimate them, any devil, with or without magic power, is a formidable opponent. If faced with a high-level devil, even if he is supernatural, he will choose to wear divine punishment. Stones," she frowned and looked at Roland, "are they really near the town?"
"Ah, it's almost, according to Ye Ye, it's only less than two miles away from the town wall," Roland nodded, carefully looking at the corpse in front of him.
They are extremely tall, with a height of more than two meters, thick limbs, and light blue skin. One of the limbs has been severely deformed, the entire chest cavity has collapsed, and the organs overflowed from the abdominal slit, as if being run over by a cement tanker. Thinking of the battle story narrated by Lightning, Roland could imagine how huge the impact was at that time.
The other person was much better, at least from the front, he looked intact, with two holes in his body, and he was still shooting four shots at the enemy with blue blood lightning. Two bullets hit the target, and one of them went straight through. The chest, without a doubt, was the fatal blow.
It is understandable that the color of blood is different. Human blood is red because it is rich in hemoglobin that transports oxygen, and the other party does not need to breathe oxygen at all, so it is not surprising what color the blood is.
It is not surprising that the shape of the bones is relatively large. After all, it needs to support such a strong body, and at the same time, it has to resist the burden brought by the huge force.
The only thing that made Roland strange was that although the two devils were very human-like, they didn't have them... How did they reproduce? "He asked Agatha curiously, "Do devils distinguish between men and women? "
"As far as I know, they have no gender," the latter shook his head. "The reproduction of devils has always been an unsolved mystery. After all, it is difficult for us to get close to the Tower of Red Mist. Some people believe that the devil was born in the tower. , formed by the condensation of fog. However, the Quest Society does not agree with this speculation, because in the hundreds of years of fighting against the devil, many people have noticed the promotion of the devil."
"Promotion?" Ash frowned, "What is that?"
"When some demons that were badly wounded by witches reappeared on the battlefield, their forms had changed, but it can be seen from the wounds left that they were still the same demon. This may indicate that high-level demons are not born, but are born in Breakthroughs are made in each battle, and once the promotion is completed, even his own form will change." Agatha explained.
Well... Magic stone technology is worrying enough. The enemy also has the ability to upgrade. It is no wonder that they can defeat humans in two battles of divine will.
Roland squatted down and looked through the clothes and belongings.
Fortunately, these things are not above the average of the current era, and even… a little behind. The clothes are a mixture of animal skins and woven cloth, ugly as if they were the work of primitive people. The hideous-looking masks are actually just the skulls of hybrid demonic beasts, and they are different, which proves that they did not obtain these outfits through manufacturing.
Even the transparent mask inlaid on the head of the beast is just a polished crystal stone, and because it has been soaked in the red mist all the year round, it has become blurred, and it is completely scarlet before the eyes, and I don't know the devil. How can I get used to it.
In addition to these, the rest are about a dozen black slates and a few magic stones.
"Have you ever seen these things in the exploration?" Roland spread out the slate, and saw a few red symbols with twisted engravings on them, most of which were empty. These dark stones made him think of the towering tower standing in the red mist architecture.
"The devil's way of recording," Agatha nodded. "This kind of text is also recorded with magic power, but we have no way to decipher the content written on it."
"Maybe their way of thinking is completely different from ours," Tilly said.
"It is indeed possible," Roland agreed. "What about these magic stones?"
"Perception stones, wayfinding stones... and marker stones," Agatha glanced at them. "They are all things that Scouting Devils often equip, and it's not uncommon."
"Investigate the devil..." Roland felt a slight pain in his head, "So, the devil has now noticed this place and started to send troops to investigate the situation in the town?".
