Shannon was silent for a while, then slowly said: "Because he sent his monsters to kill the palace."
"Monster?" Angel looked at Shannon in confusion.
"It was a terrifying humanoid monster. It was huge and tall enough to reach the top of this hall." Shannon continued to describe the face of the monster. It had a mouth as big as a crocodile, its fangs were turned inward, and its skin was gray and could be seen faintly.
There are purple blood vessels inside, and there is no nose bridge but only five neatly arranged nostrils. Its eyes are huge, but there is only one eye.
After listening to Shannon's narration, Angel seemed to have thought of something, and used an illusion to simulate a petite World of Warcraft image on the desktop. The appearance was almost the same as Shannon's description.
"Is this like this?" Angel asked.
Shannon was shocked when she saw this phantom, but when Angel asked her, she realized that the other person seemed to be using some method to simulate the appearance of the monster.
"It's very similar, but the skin color looks a bit darker than the adult's..." Shannon observed carefully and concluded.
Angel showed a clear look and motioned for Shannon to continue.
Shannon: "This monster came to the capital and attacked the palace. It was so ferocious that it could often tear out people's hearts with one claw and then gnaw them on the spot... That night, it killed almost one-tenth of the people in the palace."
Angel heard that the monster liked to eat hearts, and became even more convinced of its identity.
"This is a Gomitu. To call it a popular name, it's called the Heart-eating Ghost." Angler paused: "Generally speaking, the Heart-Eating Ghost is not a creature of this world, but a summoned beast.
But they are relatively low-level, their IQ is not high enough, and they are not good-looking... So, those who summon them are either people with unique tastes, or they have no other choice. In short, they may be wilderness wizards."
"Is he an official wizard?" Leon asked quickly.
"If they are official wizards, can the Shannon royal family last so long?" Angel said: "For example, if Lady Eureka takes action and wants to completely destroy the Golden Bird Empire, it will not take more than a week. If she kills the royal family alone, it will not take more than a week.
Maybe a few minutes is enough."
Angel's example sent chills down Shannon's spine, making him even more fearful of the wizard's power.
"Since Shannon said that the skin color of the Heart Eater is very dark, then the person summoned by the other party is probably an old and frail Heart Eater. This kind of low-level summon cannot be summoned perfectly. It is probably a first- and second-level apprentice.
I guess." After a pause, Angel continued: "It seems that there is really a supernatural force involved in this war. And he is a low-level apprentice who does not abide by the default rules and acts recklessly, so I prefer
The other party is a wilderness apprentice."
Angel finally gave a qualitative conclusion.
Although in Angel's words, the heart-eating ghost is a summoned creature with low strength, but if faced with mortals, a heart-eating ghost can easily wipe out all the people in a city.
Just the invulnerable skin of the Heart-eating Ghost is not something that mere mortals can handle.
Just like General Meng En in Hong Kong, his death situation is also consistent with the characteristics of a heart-eating ghost. In a port where the army is stationed, a heart-eating ghost can feel like he is in a deserted land, let alone the palace where the number of people is definitely smaller than that of the military port.
.
Therefore, Angel was very curious: "Once the Heart-Eating Ghost goes on a killing spree, he will never stop easily. Now there is no news of the death of a direct descendant of the Shannon royal family. In other words, you have to kill the Heart-Eating Ghost."
Quit? How did you do it?"
Shannon was silent, and after a long time he said: "The royal family has a treasure that can protect and defeat the heart-eating ghost."
Leon said at this time: "If the royal family has such a treasure, are they still worried about Hailan's invasion?"
Shannon shook his head: "That treasure has strong restrictions, and only our Shannon family can operate it. Every operation will inevitably sacrifice a person. In order to kill the heart-eating ghost, the third brother has died, and the Shannon royal family has already
There are few people, so it is not cost-effective to use that treasure. What's more, the extraordinary person hiding behind can continue to summon the heart-eating ghost. If we continue to consume it, our clan will die and we will not be able to kill him."
"So, we can only ask your lord." Shannon suddenly knelt down on one knee and performed a knighthood ceremony: "Save our Golden Bird Empire, which is about to collapse."
Angel still didn't answer, but was thinking about the treasure the other party mentioned.
A treasure with a bloodline connection needs to be sacrificed to a person every time it is used? It sounds a bit strange. Having a bloodline connection means that when the other party refines the treasure, they hope to pass it on. But when using it, a person has to be sacrificed. This is another problem.
It does not conform to the characteristics of blood connection.
It sounds very contradictory. But Angel can see that Shannon is not lying. Could it be that the person who refined this treasure both loves and hates the Shannon family?
Unable to figure out what kind of strange operation this was, Angel decided to put it aside for the time being, and instead looked at Shannon who was kneeling down.
Instead of responding to Shannon's request, he asked:
"You just said that the Heart-eating Ghost came to attack the royal family. You haven't said why it came? How do you know that there is someone behind the Heart-Eating Ghost when I didn't tell you that the Heart-Eating Ghost is a summoned object?
A transcendent person?"
Hearing Angel's question, Leon also reacted at this time: "Yes, why are you so sure that there must be an extraordinary person standing behind the heart-eating ghost? Could it be said that that extraordinary person has also contacted you?"
Shannon hesitated for a moment, then told the truth: "Before the Heart-Eating Ghost came, a letter appeared in my father's hand. The letter explained his purpose, and he asked us to hand over the treasure...Father tore it up directly.
After killing him, the heart-eating ghosts attacked, and later Hailan counterattacked from all over the country, and the generals of many provinces were killed by the heart-eating ghosts."
"It can be seen that there is an extraordinary person behind the Heart-eating Ghost, and he is standing in Hailan's camp. He may have judged that the storming of the palace would be unsuccessful, so he simply helped Hailan and used cannibalism to completely lose Jinque's power."
Angel was not interested in the owner of the Heart-Eating Ghost. What concerned him most about Shannon's words was...
"He wants you to hand over the treasure? What treasure, the one you used to kill the heart-eating ghost before?"
"It's not that roll of...treasure, he wants something else."
Angel noticed that Shannon seemed to use a strange quantifier to describe the previous treasure, but he did not explore it and continued to ask what the so-called other treasure was.
Faced with this problem, Shannon was not as straightforward as before: "This treasure is a secret. If you are willing to help us... I can tell you this secret."
As soon as these words came out, before Angel could answer, Leon looked a little worried.
"Are you threatening?" Leon narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and stood next to Shannon.
Lyon's indifferent tone made Shannon tremble in her heart, but what made Shannon feel most uneasy was that Lyon standing next to her exuded a strong sense of oppression, which seemed to be born from blood, which made Shannon feel uneasy.
She has that chilling feeling of fear when faced with an invincible beast.
Angel also noticed the strange pressure on Leon. That pressure came from a purely physical body, and was even stronger than the pressure when he first met Nausicaa.
"What kind of training has my brother undergone in the past few years? How did his physical strength increase so much?" Angel silently thought to himself.
Faced with Leon's bullying pressure, Shannon's voice trembled: "I'm not threatening, this is the bottom line my father gave me. I know it's unreasonable to want the wizard to help us in vain. We can come up with it and
All the adults exchanged was the secret of that treasure."
When Leon was about to say something else, Angel interrupted him: "I want to know, is the secret of this treasure related to it?"
Angel pointed to the broken knight's sword on the table.
Shannon nodded without hesitation: "That's right."
After hearing this answer, Angel fell into thinking and seemed to be hesitating whether to agree to Shannon.
This made Leon feel curious. When he and Angel discussed the refugees, he could tell that Angel didn't care about the outcome of the war between Jinque and Hailan. He didn't even think about it.
To blend in, as his brother who has lived together for more than ten years, Leon understands Angel's thoughts very well, and it is difficult to change what he has determined.
But why did the fragment of a knight's sword actually make Angel hesitate? It seems that he has plans to change his decision?
"What's the secret of this knight's sword?" Leon couldn't help but come up and ask.
"I don't know what the specific secret is, but there are some details that concern me very much." Angel said vaguely.
Shannon has also been watching Angel. Now the only hope of the Shannon royal family is that there is a transcendent person on their side, so that they can fight against the person who can summon monsters. Only in this way can this war end as soon as possible.
Therefore, Shannon felt extremely uneasy at this time, and looked at Angel with expectation and pleading in her eyes.
After a long while, under Shannon's excited eyes, Angel finally nodded.
"I can promise you, but I also have a request."
…
An hour later, Angel was already flying to Haiyue City in a flying boat with Shannon.
According to Shannon, Hailan's army has already assembled in the sea a hundred miles away from Vichy Port, and the next target of the attack must be Haiyue City.
According to past attacks and defenses, the wizard apprentice who summoned the Heart-eating Ghost would definitely let the Heart-eating Ghost kill the generals of Haiyue City first. If the high-rise buildings collapsed and the morale of the army was in chaos, Hailan soldiers would take advantage of the situation and seize Haiyue by force.
city.
This is also the reason why Hailan frequently wins battles. It is because of the appearance of the Heart-eating Ghost that the success rate of their "decapitation operation" has been greatly improved.
"According to your request, as long as you can deal with the transcendent person on the other side, the rest will be left to us." Shannon said respectfully.
Angel nodded. Although he agreed to Shannon's request this time, he did not want to get involved in the mortal war. Firstly, killing mortals was not what he wanted, even the mortals of Hailan. Secondly, it was a waste of time.
Therefore, his request was that he would only deal with the other side's extraordinary beings. Whether the war would be won or not would still need to be fought by the Golden Bird Army themselves.
The time he arranged for this operation was two days.
