After the spacecraft disappeared from the bottom of the blood lake out of thin air, it caused a large-scale cavity backflow. Tons of lake water plus hundreds of meters of water pressure hit the bottom of the lake fiercely, causing a large-scale shock. This time The news must have spread outside, but anyway, the little green man and the spaceship have already left, so Hao Ren doesn't have to worry about any troubles. At most, it will leave an unsolved mystery in the hearts of the locals. The last thing missing are unsolved mysteries.
Nangong Wuyue helped everyone resist the impact of the backflow of the lake. At this time, the swimmers in front of the team were all horizontal. Hao Ren watched the sea demon girl swim like a half-dead fish while subconsciously turning her belly and floating upwards. I couldn't help being a little worried: "Are you okay?"
Nangong Wuyue slanted her body to open the way ahead, while still speaking stiffly: "It's okay! I'm just a little dizzy! Don't underestimate the ability of sea monsters to survive in the water..."
Vivienne looked at Nangong Wuyue unbearably: "...but you've turned your stomach..."
Nangong Wuyue tried to straighten her body, but shook her head after failing: "Occasionally, you can find a lot of discoveries when you look at the world from a different angle..."
Seeing this situation, Doudou happily followed Nangong Wuyue, and also learned to float up with her belly up. Hao Ren hurriedly pulled the little guy by the tail and pulled her back: "Study better! This posture is not good. auspicious!"
Nangong Wuyue was dizzy after being shaken by the backwash of the lake, and turned into a mermaid form to maintain her balance (although she didn't seem to be very balanced). At this time, she suddenly turned her head to look at her tail, and began to struggle again: "...what are you talking about? With or without thorns..."
Hao Ren was soaking in the water and felt cold sweat: "How long have you struggled with this problem!"
When everyone landed on the shore, four ascetic monks who had been waiting for a long time greeted them. They still looked as stern and expressionless as before. Hao Ren reckoned that even if the Four King Kong met the end of the world, as long as the end of the world was not their goddess They were able to maintain this face of zombies if they were excited and tossed about. The bearded man came to Hao Ren: "Those green creatures have already left?"
"Don't be a green creature, they are also human beings, they are called Campbells—we are also called flesh people in the eyes of some disembodied aliens," Hao Ren said righteously at this time, completely forgetting that he was going all the way. Everyone called Kabbalah the little green man, "The spaceship has been sent away. The last movement was really loud, and it was a bit miscalculated... But don't worry. There was no accident except for the louder sound."
Among the four, the young female ascetic monk (is it okay to be called a nun?) Immediately asked: "Did you see any vision at the bottom of the lake?"
"No." Lily was fiddling with two black stones picked up from the bottom of the lake, and she replied casually, "Speaking of which, what should I see?"
The four masters immediately shook their heads in unison, expressing that it would be better if there were no visions. At this time, Hao Ren looked up at the completely dark sky, identified the direction according to his memory, and then walked towards the small station by the lake where he stayed last time: "Hurry up, there was a lot of movement just now. It might have alarmed the crusaders nearby, and it’s hard to explain why they’re still wandering by the lake at this time.”
Everyone headed towards the outpost by the lake. Vivian glanced at the few ascetic monks who had remained silent on the way: "The masters know our situation. We are not from this world, but we have no malice towards this world. After that If someone interrogates us, especially if we are interrogated by church personnel, I hope that some of you can help cover it up, and I also hope that you can help us as a witness for the matter of the orb of the temple."
The bearded man walked unhurriedly. The voice was indifferent: "Don't worry, the clergy must abide by the agreement—although the clergy should not lie, but this matter involves sacred objects. We naturally know how to adapt. And anyway, I will be taken care of by you during that time of 'representing the world' A lot. It’s time to pay back.”
Although the bearded group always had a straight face, they were actually very talkative. In fact, as long as the "mission" was under the premise, the degree of adaptability of these ascetic monks was simply amazing. In order to protect the orb and return it to Zhao in its entirety, they can surrender, be captured, die, fight, and even go against the bottom line of ordinary priests to work with heretics or even deceive them. Suffice it to say: they can do anything except hand over the Goddess relics, saints and villains. This is the special clergyman cultivated by the Huiyao Sect. Their thoughts are pure, their actions are clear, and they only focus on the "sacred mission" in their lives.
Easy, but extremely paranoid.
Hao Ren and Bearded Beard and the others had been in contact for two or three days, and they still dare not say how much they understand these weird people who are always thinking silently, but they have more or less touched the way these people behave from their occasional conversations, and they also know how to communicate with them. They get along, so he and Vivian can let the four bearded people vouch for themselves: this does not violate the principles of the four ascetics.
Becky looked up at the starry sky of her hometown, and she seemed to be full of thoughts along the way. She finally came home, but the way she went home was not the same as she thought before. The mercenary girl who is cheerful every day also has sad moments . However, she was worried for a while and threw her troubles to the back of her mind, and she became happy again: "That's right! You have to receive the reward when you go back! Master bearded, when we hand in the orb, we have to go together, when the time comes I'm also a nobleman... I don't know who will give me an honor! If Marshal Ovra hasn't left the west... Hey, hey hey... "
Vivienne couldn't help feeling numb when she heard Becky's weird laughter, and ran to Hao Ren's side with her shoulders in her arms: "Why am I so allergic to this kind of laughter?"
Hao Ren rolled his eyes: "Hessiana—"
Vivian immediately thought of many things that made her skin crawl, and turned her head to give Becky an angry look: "Don't laugh like that! I'm allergic!"
"It's useless for you to be granted a manor by a knight now," Nangong Wuyue glanced at Becky, "You stay here for fifteen days every time, even if you get a big house, it's equivalent to living for servants." gone."
"Don't remind me of this!" Betsy immediately jumped up as if someone had stepped on her tail, "Why don't you just leave when you're done!"
The whole group was very friendly. Although they were talking and joking all the way, they walked quickly and soon came to the small station by the lake, but when the silhouettes of those simple wooden houses appeared in front of them, Yizaks suddenly called out to everyone in a low voice: " Wait! There seems to be an accident ahead!"
Hao Ren looked up, and immediately realized the problem: the outpost in the distance was pitch black, without even a single light. The bright starlight and the brilliance of two moons were shining on the outpost at the same time, but he couldn't see anything inside. Anyone smokes. After careful observation, Hao Ren also found that many buildings in the outpost seemed to have been destroyed. He was most impressed by the arrow towers at the corners of the outpost, but now there were only a few vaguely thick wooden piles left there.
Becky didn't see the situation of the outpost for a while, she just wondered why there were no lights inside: "Hey, why does it look like no one is there? Aren't these outposts by the lake supposed to be stationed for a long time..."
Lily sniffed hard, and the fluff on her ears and tail stood up: "There's a little bit of bloody smell, it's about to dissipate, it should have happened a few days ago."
"Someone attacked the Holy Lake outpost?!" The bearded men finally couldn't calm down at this moment, and the four rushed forward, "Go over and see the situation!"
Hao Ren quickly ran over, and after a while, he ran to the high ground by the lake, and then he saw more details: the wooden fence around the small outpost had basically collapsed, and the magic barrier that originally shrouded the fence had also dissipated. Clean, two-thirds of the wall in front of the outpost was scattered around the highland in a pulverized state as if it had been trampled by some huge creature. He followed Big Beard into the camp, and all he saw were buildings that collapsed in the same way: the walls were broken by brute force, solid wood was shattered and scattered, and many building fragments were even forced into the ground.
It's as if a giant ransacked the outpost.
Hao Ren suddenly thought of the stone giants he had dealt with once: Could it be that the defense line of Layton Town was breached in the two months after he left? The stone giant has rushed to the inner line of the holy lake
But the situation in the holy lake didn't seem to have changed, and the camp on the small island in the middle of the lake was also brightly lit—he just asked Doudou to swim up to have a look, there was nothing wrong with it.
At this time, the bearded man had already circled the camp, and his tone was very serious: "What's going on here? Pagans attack the Holy Land?" (To be continued~^~)
