Chapter 94: Black humanoid flower fragrance? Corpse?
In a simple wooden house that is much larger than the one in Yoko Village.
The red-haired knight Elliot fastened his sword to his waist and walked over to the other knight standing in a daze at the window and said, "Kayhakan, we should go look for the missing person. Reuben has already left. Oh, right..."
He glanced at the man dozing not far away. He leaned closer to Kaihakan and whispered, "Could you please call Master Levi this time?"
This young master from Baron Rogers's family has a terrible temper. Although Kaihakan in front of him came from a big city-state not long ago, they are also civilian knights and are much easier to get along with.
Thank Goddess for hearing his prayers and bringing him a colleague who is easy to talk to.
Kaihakan patted his shoulder, signaling him not to worry. He then took a few big steps, bent slightly, and put his arm around Levi. "Hey! Brother! It's time to get to work!"
"Damn it! Don't touch me with your dirty hands!" Levi struggled to free his hand, swept the place he touched with disgust, and without saying a word, stood up and walked out the door.
Suddenly, two figures, one big and one small, appeared at the door.
"Reuben?" Elliot looked at him puzzledly, and his eyes naturally shifted to another direction.
The middle-aged man panted and looked down at the little girl next to him: "Hannah is found."
——
"The Emperor will name the new monster."
As Vifiya finished speaking, the cabin fell silent.
Isidore and Kaharun understood the implication of this statement. Had they failed? Had the monster's influence even spread to Lachigo?
Osa's face was solemn. "Only monsters that cause heavy casualties or have a huge impact will be named by the Emperor himself."
It had been a long time since the emperor named a monster. Her gaze fell gently on Isidore and Kaharun. If they had been in control all along, it would make sense.
"So you suspect the new monster is related to the missing people in Yoko Village?" Arnold, who had been silent all this time, suddenly spoke.
Vifiya nodded, and she suddenly didn't know how to say it. After all, her guess this time came from her intuition.
The various experiences in the past would occasionally give her a strong intuition about certain things. It was a kind of taste, an indescribable taste.
In other words, her current speculation has no accurate basis.
She lowered her eyes and said, "This is just my intuition. If it's wrong, that's all the better."
The Yoko Village has a small number of garrisons and is far away from other towns and villages. If a new monster appears here, the consequences can be imagined.
Isidore looked at her face gently for a while. "Then let's find a reason to stay here for a while longer. As long as there's any possibility of anomalies emerging, as long as they emit even a little bit of magic, we can capture them."
"Ahhhhhhhh!" A scream of fear broke the tranquility of the village.
Osa and Arnold's eyes flashed, and they stood up, holding the long swords at their waists.
Vifiya's eyes were filled with vigilance, and her intuition grew stronger, almost solidifying into substance in her screams.
I don't know what he sensed, but Kaharun's face changed: "How is that possible?"
He subconsciously looked at Isidore, only to see that Isidore had already stood up.
Several people went out quickly.
People were all running in the same direction. They looked at each other and followed the villagers.
After turning several corners, they saw a villager's door crowded with people. The closer they got, the more they smelled the familiar smell of blood.
The villagers watching were silent and seemed stunned.
Vifiya frowned slightly. She heard the sounds in the house and the crunching of teeth against bones.
There were several loud and powerful footsteps as three men with long swords rushed over. The brown-haired man pushed the villagers who were standing still and said, "Everyone, make way!"
Kaihakan and his companions successfully entered the inner circle, but their breathing stopped when they took in the scene before them.
In the open door and slightly dim wooden house, a man grabbed the arm of an old man who was lying in a pool of blood and bit it as if no one was around. Just from the side of his face, one could see his satisfied expression.
While the other two knights were stunned, Kaihakan reacted in a split second. He immediately drew his sword and shouted to his two colleagues, "Evacuate the villagers immediately!"
Elliot came back to his senses in an instant and looked at Levi fiercely: "Master Levi!"
"Got it!" Levi replied impatiently, but then he started to act. "Hey! All of you, go back to your rooms!"
"Everyone! Go back to your rooms now!"
The villagers woke up from their dreams at the actions and words of the two men, and an atmosphere of fear filled the air.
"What...what is this?"
"So... is that old Liv's son who came back?"
"He...he...why did he...eat old Leif..."
Levi drew his sword, his face filled with impatience. "Hey! Have you civilians said enough? If you have, go back home!"
The villagers of Yoko Village have never left here since they were born. Compared with other places in the Dukedom of Heihefu, although this place is not rich and can even be called poor, it is safe enough.
This was a place that even monsters didn't pay attention to, at least not since they could remember.
Some villagers' legs went weak, and those who were still able to stand hurriedly supported them and took them away.
They were all shocked by what they saw, and were all speechless. They only knew that they should listen to the Knights.
There weren't many villagers in Yoko Village to begin with, and they hurried home one after another, and almost everyone in front of Old Liv's house had left.
And Vifiya and her group who were still standing here at this moment were particularly conspicuous.
Levi could tell at a glance that they were not locals. He had been here for almost a year, and he could count on his fingers the number of times outsiders had arrived in Yoko Village.
Regardless, he was about to open his mouth to drive them away when he heard a voice: "What happened?"
Elliot and Levi, who had almost dispersed the villagers, also looked over.
Elliot was startled: "Reuben?"
Levi's eyes were on the little girl in his arms. He shouted, "Why did you bring this commoner here? Go back!"
Reuben stopped and was confused for a moment. "Huh?" He looked down at the poor girl sobbing on his neck. "Hannah has been crying. She said she wanted to see what happened. I can't convince her."
Elliot was anxious. This was Reuben's weakness: he couldn't refuse anything anyone said. "So you're going to do it just because Hannah said so? Now's not the time to argue about this. Take Hannah back quickly! It's not safe here!"
"Ah." Reuben actually smelled the blood here. He came here because he wanted to take Hannah away quickly. He nodded to the two of them, "Okay, okay."
Before Elliot could turn around, Hannah, who was lying next to his neck, suddenly opened her mouth, almost covering her entire face! Elliot subconsciously wanted to draw his sword, but they were too far apart, and it was too late!
He shouted anxiously, even calling out to Levi, who had always been at odds with them.
"Reuben!"
"Hello!"
Reuben also noticed the big mouth that suddenly appeared beside him out of the corner of his eye. He was horrified and wanted to throw Hannah away, but her hands stuck to him tightly like mucus!
At the critical moment, he finally let go of Hannah. At the same time, "bang!" A sharp sword with a cold glow pierced through "Hannah's" big mouth and pierced her head. The force was so great that it directly pulled Hannah out of Reuben's arms and nailed her to the wall.
Black liquid splashed out of "Hannah's" big mouth, and Reuben subconsciously stepped back, and the liquid spilled on the snow.
A different smell permeated his breath, and he was stunned for a moment, at a loss.
Elliot and the other man held their breath and looked towards where the sword came from. It was a young man with gray hair among the group of outsiders.
When Elliot and Levi shouted, it attracted Kaihakan's attention. He also saw the whole process of the man swinging the sword. He was not simple, at least, stronger than Elliot and the other three knights here.
Who are they?
But now is not the time to explore. The most important thing now is to deal with the monster.
He smelled that smell! A mixture of floral scent and corpses. The leader was indeed perceptive. There really was this monster here that they had seen last time.
His expression was solemn, and he looked even different than the last time he saw him.
He remembered what Master Jevanlin, the magician in the Knights, had told him before arriving at Yoko Village: to think before taking action.
He was not a reckless person, but Lord Jewanlin had specifically reminded him of this.
On the other side, Arnold took the initiative to walk towards "Hannah". He took action after receiving a signal from Vifiya, but...
He stopped, and the "Hannah" he had nailed to the wall suddenly broke into pieces of flesh, but what flowed out was not red blood, but a sticky black liquid.
Elliot's eyes widened, the scene before him was beyond their comprehension.
Under the black sticky liquid, the pile of flesh and hair squirmed on the ground, bypassing the position of the long sword above, and piled up piece by piece to form a human shape again. The black mucus covered the surface of the human figure, constantly adjusting the position of the hair, and then, all the bumps and bumps scattered in the human figure squirmed and squeezed onto the human figure's head.
In another instant, all the black mucus was retracted along the cracks in the meat.
"Hannah" appeared in front of everyone again intact.
Her eyes turned around unnaturally and quickly. There was no focus in her pupils, but they were staring at Arnold. She opened her mouth and made "ah, ah" sounds like a mute.
After a while, her voice became hoarse and serious, without any emotion: "Why... do you want to kill me?"
Although the scene before him had some impact on Arnold's brain, it did not make him lose his composure. Past experiences had taught him that there were all kinds of things in this world.
He did not answer. All he wanted now was to get back his sword, the sword that Vefiya had given him.
"Why... do you want to kill me?" "Hannah" repeated it again.
No one spoke, but in the distance, the villagers' terrified screams and cries for help were heard.
"ah--!"
"Help--"
