MTL - The Record of Unusual Creatures-Chapter 1728 Northern Grand Duke
The lord’s castle is simpler than imagined. This huge fortress seems to be so tall and heavy to be built as a military bunker. Only when you walk into it will you know that it is surrounded by the emblem of the Dragon Empire. There are hardly any extra modifications outside of some decorative swords with a fighting spirit.
Hao Ren and Charlemagne, led by Kem, walked along the corridor of the castle to the room where the Owen Grand Duke was located. The slightly gloomy corridor echoed the footsteps of everyone. The corridor has a window on one side, and the skylight shines through the high and narrow window slits, and falls on the decorative shield on the other side wall, and a halo, dust on the surface of the latter. Flying in the halo, as if it were light smoke.
The guards and maids along the way bowed respectfully in front of this special "visitor team" and retreated to both sides of the corridor, and they could see from their unrecognizable fearful expression that the Owen Dagong had already awakened. The situation is definitely not good.
At the door of Dagong’s room, an old man with a blue-rimmed robes on his white background just pushed out the door.
Kem went forward and nodded to the old man: "Hallman Bachelor, I brought the distinguished guests to be named by Dagong."
The old man, known as the Holman bachelor, raised his eyes and glanced at the group of people in front of him. The eyebrows shook slightly, and there was a bit of dissatisfaction in his tone: "I have never heard that it is very bad for so many people. See so many people..."
"It’s Dagong’s name to see them,” Came once again stressed. “Bachelor, as far as I know, you are responsible for treating Dagong’s injuries, not for the guests he wants to meet.”
Holman’s bachelor’s waist is full of strength: “Reducing visitors is also a part of restoring health!”
As a result, his voice just fell, and he heard a more neutral voice in the room: "Holman! I just suffered a little injury, far from death! Let the guests come in, don't stop at the door! ”
Holman’s bachelor’s face shook a little, and he vented his breath, silently retreating to the side: “Let’s go in and try to be quiet.”
Owen Dagong was lying on the big oak bed in the middle of the room, staring at the six people Hao Ren four who walked into the room, plus two Charlemagne brothers and sisters. He is an old man who is so strong and skeptical that he has a barbaric origin. The thick hair is quite rich in the northern characteristics. Although he is lying in bed after being seriously injured, the huge figure that cannot be covered by the shackles still has full discouragement.
The sun shone through the windows of the bedroom, which should have brightened the room, but somehow, Hao Ren’s first feeling after entering the house was dim and faint everywhere. Everything in this room seemed to have been covered. The layered shadow of the tulle, even in direct sunlight, the floor is like what is obscured by the general appearance of a dull and decaying color.
There was another person in the room. It was a silver-haired woman in a white dress and expressionless. She stood beside the big public and lowered her head slightly. It seemed to be the maid who took care of her grandfather. For the appearance of Hao Ren and her, she Just looked up slightly and then lowered his head again and no action.
"Ah, you are here," the old man lying on the bed said with a smile after his door closed. His voice was steady and powerful. It was not like a rumor that he was seriously injured and almost died. His sight was in Charlemagne. And Hao Ren and his entourage swept, just like ordinary ordinary darling fathers began to say hello, "Issu's prince and princess, I heard about your experience, it is really not easy for you to come here, the country situation opposite the world. Fortunately, there are you... mysterious people from the 'World Tree Temple'... It’s mysterious, I let the best scholars check, no one knows what the world tree temple is, you really come out of nothing. ""
"Haywood Owen," Charlemagne stepped forward and bowed to the old man lying on the bed. Although he was a royal family, he faced the legendary veteran like Haywood Owen. A tribute, "I heard that you have been seriously injured, but now that you have recovered your spirit, you are relieved."
"Ah, what **** to recover," Haywood Owenhaha laughed. "It’s still alive for the time being. I have time to meet your two little guys, and... these mysterious friends who came with you. ""
Said, Owen's vision fell on Hao Ren, after all, led two girls and a little girl, Hao Ren in the group of four is the most eye-catching: "I heard that you are walking like a walk The black pine forest, can easily defeat the Gorgon lord?"
"It's just some special abilities," Hao Ren said with a smile. "We have the eyes that can directly see the fog of the black pine forest, and there are some small experiences in dealing with the ancient weapons like the lord of Gorgon. ”
"Some little experience..." Owen Dagong laughed at this statement. "Haha, it’s really an understatement. Do you know that there are several people in the world who can cross the black pine forest directly from the lost area like you? There are a few people who can defeat the Gorgon lords and say no victory. A Gorgon lord can almost destroy a whole regular army, and you... oh, your world tree temple is not a small one."
Charlemagne suddenly realized that the main concern of the old man seemed to be in Hao Ren and his party (or in the "World Tree Temple"), so he couldn’t help but say: "Da Gong, let me interrupt me and My sister has an important mission and needs to see Princess Constance as soon as possible. Please ask her..."
"She is now on the front line, but she already knows where you are coming," Owen said with a big hand. "Reassured, she will meet you, and will see you soon. Patience, young people, patience are the most important qualities second only to Have a good drink, understand?"
Charlemagne opened his mouth and seemed to want to say something, but the next Avona spoke first: "We understand."
Then she whispered two words next to Charlie Mann, who was surprised to see the silver-haired woman next to Owen's public, and nodded no more words.
"You, and your "World Tree Temple"," Owen Dagong refocused his attention back to Hao Ren and his entourage. "I think it's not just a ‘independent retreat organization'.”
Hao Ren did not know what the other party had, so he went down the topic and said, "What do you mean?"
“Are you...” Owen’s grandmother frowned, seemingly trying to organize the language. “Do you have some older legends, or prophecies, that will allow you to re-enter the world at a special time? ... Ha, it is reasonable to say that such a hidden world organization like you, shouldn’t you take the initiative to mention this aspect after seeing me?"
"Oh, it seems that most of the books are written like this." Hao Ren patted his head. "Sorry, I have just been doing this for a few years, and my work experience is not very rich. But then again, I am saying these. Before, you really didn't think of ways to stabilize your own state? Look at you like this... I am afraid that I can't live tomorrow."
When this sentence came out, Charlemagne and Avenina suddenly widened their eyes in surprise, and looked incredulously at the northern Dagong, who was lying in bed and had no sense of weakness in his spirit, and the one who was always hanging his head. Silver-haired women couldn't help but look up and quickly swept Hao Ren.
The northern public stunned, and then laughed: "Haha... you really have a little meaning, it really means a little..."
"Owen Grand Duke, you..." Charlemagne couldn’t help but say, "You are..."
"I just said that I am only alive for the time being," said Owen, who looked at Charlemagne. "It’s just that the eyes of ordinary people can’t see it."
Then he turned to Hao Ren: "You are right, I am dying, but how did you see it?"
"Don't worry about this," Hao Ren said straight away. "Let's see your wounds."
“It might be scary,” the old general lying on the bed said with a smile. “There are not only a few ladies but also a little girl. Do you really want to see it?”
"That's what I want to see," Lia stepped forward and pointed to the position of Owen's chest. "Open it, the bandages and ointments are not used at all."
Owen Dagong put away the smile on his face and nodded silently, and the silver-haired woman next to the bed went forward, and opened the bedding covered with Dagong with a gentle movement.
The old general's upper body had no clothes, but was wrapped in a thick bandage, but there was no blood and other things oozing out from under the bandage.
The silver-haired women did not dismantle them, but gently rubbed their hands over the bandages, and the thick bandages broke and opened, revealing the shocking truth below.
I saw under the bandage, the large flesh and blood of Owen's chest had already festered and mutated. A twisted and torn wound was on his right chest, and the flesh around the wound seemed to be black and purple and inward. The sag goes in, and the most terrifying thing is that the wound and the surrounding flesh and blood are actually "live"!
Those rotten and mutated flesh and blood are like squirming with independent life, constantly expanding their fester range. At the junction between rotten meat and normal flesh and blood, those decaying parts even grow small spikes and teeth. Things, tearing, swallowing the healthy flesh around.
Just looking at it, Ai Wenna turned back pale, but there was no screaming.
After all, she has seen the honor of the Black Sword Knight after the mutation.
"It hurts at first, but now I don't feel anything," Owen said, looking down at the injury in his chest. "They are gradually replacing my body, and some of the nerves have been 'eaten' by them. This is a relief." ""
“Is there no treatment?” Charlemagne looked bad, but said in a calm tone.
"Try to cut the rotten meat, but it will grow again immediately, and it will be exactly the same as before the cut. It will not work if the whole wound is dug. Corruption does not seem to be rooted in the flesh, but rooted in me. In the soul," Owen Dagong said in a lightly, "Ointment, magic, and even the blessing of the elves have been tried. This change is irreversible. Only the secret of Holman's bachelor has produced a little effect. He I have cut some of my souls so that I can talk to you soberly. But this state should not last long, I can already hear some small voices squeaking in my mind, that is 亵渎The words, like these granules and teeth, are slowly wearing the mind-protection barrier set by Holman’s bachelor..."
