Vivienne and Lily explained their findings and related speculations, and Hao Ren turned to Y'zaks and Becky's group again: "Did you find anything?"
The two of them went to the north of the mountain range, where the stone giants proliferate most rapidly, but now it seems that the biggest fog in the Beinz area is in other areas, and the stone giants may be just a little trouble on the surface. Becky shook her head: "We didn't find anything there, but there are indeed a lot of stone giants, many of them wandering in the mountains, and there are even small groups gathering, and the Knights have sent a lot of people there. There is a huge stone fortress that was quickly shaped by magic at the foot, and there may be officers at the level of a grand magister. The big man and I walked around the mountain a few times and were almost spotted by patrolling knight soldiers."
"The stone giants are just wandering around the mountain, and they don't intend to attack for the time being," Y'zaks added, "but I think their lack of attack is the biggest anomaly—they are a group of 'creatures' with little intelligence, and they should It is normal to act according to instinct and attack all targets blindly after starting the activity. Now that they are wandering in the mountains and not going down, I feel that someone may be suppressing these monsters. There are controllers behind them, but obviously the control methods are not in place."
Y'zaks and Becky also found something, but it was obviously not important information. Hao Ren saw that everyone else had finished talking, so he cleared his throat: "Ahem, now let's talk about my side—I met a group of evil cultists..."
Vivian and the others immediately held their breath and waited for Hao Ren to finish explaining the situation. Lily couldn't help exclaiming when she heard the mysterious and insidious religious ceremony and human sacrifice scene, but Vivienne and Y'zaks didn't react at all: the two have a lot of knowledge, and this situation is not surprising. It was only when Yizaks frowned when he heard those pagans summoning a strange and powerful flesh monster: "The monster's body is shaped by the flesh and blood materials at the scene?"
"Yes," Hao Ren nodded, "In addition, the data terminal identified the monster's physiological structure and found it to be unreasonable, theoretically it cannot survive."
"Summoning is a summoning method commonly used by some heretics," Yizaks nodded. "They should summon a creature from another place—a different space or a different planet. But they don't have the ability to open this kind of space door. The monster then projected its own will and power and landed on a temporary body. Due to the limitations of materials and technology, pagans could not create a perfect body, so this summoning could only last for a short period of time."
"Will the strength of the monsters summoned by descending drop a lot?" Hao Ren is most concerned about this issue. He still has lingering fears about the power of the weird "brain". I discovered a weakness by mistake. Coupled with the fact that the pistols issued by the empire can penetrate all protection regardless of level, I am afraid that the outcome of today's incident is really hard to say.
"It doesn't necessarily depend on the form of life and power of the descendant," Yizaks shrugged, "If most of its abilities rely on the body, its power will of course drop, but if it fights with the mind, then the power will not It will drop too much, and sometimes the method used by descending and its own unique skills will also affect the final strength. According to your description, that brain-like creature basically fights with supernatural power, even after physical contact, it is similar to controlling kinetic energy and The magic effect of gravity, so its real strength should be almost like this. Compared with the real body, the only difference after the arrival is that the residence time here is limited. Of course. The above are all speculations, based on my hometown Guessed by the rules."
Lily glanced at Y'zaks with a strange expression: "Why do you seem to know this well?"
Y'zaks spread his hands: "I'm good at it. It's very troublesome to teleport from the devil's abyss to the human country. In most cases, I use the way of summoning. Although I don't like developing power in the human world, but There are also a few human subordinates."
Hao Ren was a little surprised: "Aren't you not going to war with humans?"
"I didn't go there to start a war." I'zaks scratched his barren scalp with a serious smile, "Most of the time I went to travel."
Everyone at the scene rolled their eyes and didn't know what to say, such a majestic demon king. Just showing his face in the world is enough to turn several countries upside down. The only purpose of inspiring humans to summon him is to see the scenery. How can you embarrass the army of brave men gathered all over the world because of the coming of the devil king? Hao Ren couldn't imagine how the brave men in Y'zaks' hometown would react when they mentioned this demon king who didn't play cards according to common sense. How many weapon shops and adventurer's bars could be supported by Y'zaks' traveling interest alone.
Y'zaks himself seemed to know that this habit of his was not humane, scratched his scalp and smiled: "Hey, I won't talk about it here, anyway, that giant brain should be completely dead. Although the summoned creature can Leave the temporary body and return to your hometown at any time, but your gun is very special in nature, it can annihilate the soul together, and even annihilate the path when the soul is projected, so we don't have to worry about the soul of the giant brain escaping back to the gang zone People come for revenge."
When Hao Ren was free, he mentioned to everyone that he was equipped with a gun, so Y'zaks could make this judgment.
After explaining the situation to each other, Hao Ren and Vivienne, as team leaders and team think tanks, began to sort out this pile of convoluted information.
The mysterious tentacles that appeared underground around the Blood Lake (almost confirmed to be the roots of the Twisted Woodland), the controller behind the stone giants, the pagan rituals that appeared in the Dragon's Back Mountains, the summoned flesh monsters, the church knights and Heretics hidden in the Knights of the Kingdom, the Shining Sect denounced as "sinners who stole divine power", and that distant world where only blood-colored sea water is constantly surging...
In the end, there was a sentence that the giant brain sent into Hao Ren's mind before he died: You are all scum.
These miscellaneous clues seem to be related, but they are also messy. Hao Ren racked his brains and couldn't fit them into a frame. I am sure that the flesh and blood monster is related to the change in the Beinz Parish, and I am not sure what the root system of the twisted woodland has to do with these things. It seems that all events are independent, and the only thing they have in common is just enough weirdness.
"I can't think of it," Vivienne spread her hands, "We still know too little."
"It seems that the itinerary for the next two days will change a little bit," Hao Ren rubbed his chin, "We are confused and can't find any results, so I decided to tell Ophra the information and let the female marshal mobilize Her powers to investigate: she should be happy to deal with heretics."
"Is she reliable?" Vivian immediately thought of this.
"Everyone is unreliable, but it doesn't matter to everyone. I just need to let the upper echelons of Holletta know about it and let them move around." Hao Ren shrugged, "We are barefoot and not afraid to wear shoes. Chaos has a negative impact on us. Once the power is cut off in the dormant cabin, the world will be peaceful. The current situation is that everything is too calm, so calm that we can't see any splashes even if we want to investigate, so at this time we need a strong enough Let the guy stir it up. The water is fine, and I don't care who stirs it up."
As for how to explain to Ovra the behavior of his group's probing around last night, Hao Ren decided to think about it later.
Vivienne looked at Hao Ren in surprise, and said meaningfully, "...you are like two different people."
Lily also looked at Hao Ren in surprise, and said meaningfully, "It's like two different people."
Hao Ren stared at Husky: "It's fine with Vivian, what can you tell!"
Lily shook her tail: "I don't know what you are talking about, but every time the bat shows this expression and speaks, you will praise her a few times. I must have learned that!"
Hao Ren: "..."
At this time Becky suddenly reacted: "Wait a minute! Is it appropriate for you to say this in front of me?!"
Hao Ren suddenly woke up. There was also a native of the Dream Plane at the scene. What he said just now might have made her think that he was indifferent to the peace of the Dream Plane (Hao Ren definitely didn't mean that), so he quickly explained: "Don't mind, I didn't mean..."
Becky got up before Hao Ren finished speaking, "We can stay for more than ten days! Lady Ophra really wants to drag us here to investigate what happened. Wouldn't my house and title be gone?"
Everyone's foreheads were sweating: Dare to love, this girl is still thinking about her posthumous title of nobility...
Fortunately, Becky is not an unreasonable person. In the end, she didn't insist on this matter. Anyway, the reward is there. Unless Holletta dies within a month, she can still go next time. The king's capital accepts the canonization.
Of course, there is another big reason why she chooses to cooperate: anyway, she can't beat the monsters in this room...
Afterwards, everyone took advantage of the time before early morning to take a quick rest. When the thunderstorm that had been brewing for most of the night finally arrived, Marshal Ovra took the initiative to visit.
It was as if she knew that Hao Ren and his party had something to look for. (to be continued~^~)
