Chapter 12 Is that so? Miss Laura, long and smooth
After Miss Laura boarded the carriage, the four of them immediately rushed towards the suburbs.
At this time, the battle of the chosen ones had begun to spread to residential areas, and there were even signs of becoming more intense. The city defense troops stationed at important intersections looked as if they were facing a formidable enemy.
The carriage didn't go very far when it was stopped by the defenders. Before the officer leading the carriage could yell, the maid driving the carriage waved a small flag with her family's crest, showing that she was the chosen one and was not subject to the curfew.
The surrounding city defense troops quickly dispersed, removed the roadblocks, and let them pass.
"They moved very quickly." Miss Laura leaned against the car window and watched the city defense troops move the barricades in a hurry.
"Anyone who cherishes life will try to avoid encounters with the Chosen One. After all, if you are affected by the battle, it will be too late to regret it," the female knight Heidili said matter-of-factly, "At least there are people in Beyelan City.
A dozen chosen ones were hiding in the dark, watching the two battles, and would pounce out and bite the neck of their prey whenever they had the chance.
"We will rest in the safe house after leaving the city. We will resume operations after the second hotspot marking begins at 6 a.m."
She pointed to a small town with complicated roads outside the city on the map: "Here, five minutes can only allow the Chosen One to know our location, but it cannot lock our direction. We will decide the direction to move forward when we get there.
.This will be the case for the next few days. Sifeilike, you and Nora take turns driving."
"Yes." The maid with black hair and twin tails sat obediently opposite Miss Laura and her female knight. She was wearing a black and white maid skirt and boots. She was very tall and always looked out the window when not asked.
In such a once-in-a-century event, only one of Miss Laura's trusted personal maids could be left by her side.
"We can't keep hiding like this!" Ms. Laura showed her wand, "With our strength, even an extraordinary person can take it! If we can steal the next emblem in a sneak attack, it will be very advantageous next time."
Heidirich seriously rejected this suggestion: "According to the information obtained by the family, the second phase will be a long-distance and dangerous maneuver. We have to hide until that time and then join up with the other chosen ones.
"The curfew is not enforced during the day. In public, the distinguished Chosen Ones still have to maintain their dignity and will not take action publicly. You can choose to form an alliance with one of them in the second stage to help him win the final victory, or even
You can sell your emblems in exchange for rewards.
"According to my estimation, the most powerful chosen ones in the first half of the process are His Highness Commodus, the Templar Knight of Sequence 6, Aaron, the son of prophecy, the Secret Seeker, Galadia, the dual-path extraordinary person of Canaan, and
The mysterious man who killed Lord Avignon. Not only are they powerful in person, but they also have overwhelming manpower and material support behind them. Their advantage is hard to shake.
"However, the resource advantage cannot be maintained until the third stage. The final trial is only open to the selected ones. By that time, every emblem may be decisive.
"Launa, as long as you can persist to the third stage, your value will be unimaginable now. If you operate it properly, the future leader of the mysterious world will offer you unimaginable conditions, not to mention that you can also use it to
By peering into the origin of the world, the Lockhaft family will reach unprecedented heights."
"Yes, yes," Ms. Laura puffed up her cheeks, "In short, for a chosen one like me, the best way to maximize profits is to just keep silent~"
"Please don't say that, honor depends on the result rather than the means..."
"Okay, okay, Heidirich, you are right, I will listen to you in everything!"
The matters the two talked about were earth-shattering events. However, when watching them talk, it always gave people the feeling of little girls chatting.
The carriage jolted and seemed to have entered an uneven road.
"Are we approaching the outskirts of the city? How quickly?" Heidirich raised the curtains and looked outside. "We should have just crossed Dunbarser Bridge and haven't left Westminster yet."
It was pitch black outside the window, with no recognizable landmarks or even many houses.
The carriage was passing through an open space, and the bumpy road was shaken up and down. The rugged and abrupt shadows under the moonlight were reminiscent of vultures watching their prey on dead branches.
"Is this the road leading to the suburbs?" Heidirich became alert. The scenery beside the road became increasingly gloomy and dark, and even mausoleums and tombstones appeared.
Unknowingly, they came to a desolate cemetery.
The city of Bijaland is so large that it can even accommodate a cemetery.
"Stop the car! Laura, Sphyrico, don't come out."
Heidirich jumped off the carriage and looked around and saw only gloomy dead trees and graves. From time to time, two crows could be heard wailing, making the atmosphere even more unusual.
"Nora, what's going on? Why are you here?" The female knight drew her sword and pointed at the maid driving the car. "Come down, raise your hands above your head, let me see your face."
But no one answered her. The female knight rushed to the driver's seat and found that there was no one there.
Suddenly, she heard a sound - a sound that was completely different from the crackling or chattering of the candle. It was a vague voice, a creepy, breathless, cold and vicious murmur.
A dilapidated small lamp hung on the cold wall, shining with a dim light. Several figures, step by step, slowly walked out of the abandoned stone house in the distance, and then disappeared into the darkness.
Heidirich's heart rose. She saw words the size of a foot smeared with blood on the ruins of the wall. They could not be identified under the flickering firelight. A scream that made people stand on end. That voice.
Never from a human throat, not even of this world.
What followed was a pungent stench and the terrifying screams of a large group of night owls.
Heidirich Himeir felt her spine go cold. She had participated in the war and witnessed tragedies that could drive people crazy. However, after studying happily at Homemonworth for a few years, she gradually adapted to respectability and dignity.
Elegance, those scenes that can only appear in nightmares, have long been buried deep in my heart.
However, at this moment, those terrible, incomprehensible and terrifying shadows once again dug up the dusty soil from the bottom of her heart, crawling out bit by bit with decayed bones without skin and flesh.
The same was true for Miss Laura who was sitting in the carriage. Although she was a famously bold adventurer, she still couldn't escape the trembling and fear that seemed to be strangling her throat with nameless fear. She stared at the darkness that was making strange screams,
Realize that there is something watching you in the darkness over there.
This unspeakable weirdness kidnapped his maid and took everyone to a dark and weird cemetery. In the swamp-like sticky atmosphere of fear, there was still a bit of doubt.
Laura braced herself, held her wand tightly, and muttered to herself to arouse her emotions:
"I'm scared. It's strange. I've never been scared even when I'm lost in the ruins that host ancient evil spirits. Could it be that there is some kind of fear-causing quality hidden around here... Well, I want, ah——!"
A cold, snake-like smooth feeling rolled over her wrist, making Laura scream in fright.
"What's the matter, Miss Laura?" the maid Sifeilike with her twin tails tilted her head cutely and asked.
She didn't panic at all, and was so calm that Laura was a little ashamed.
"Something, like a snake, touched my wrist." Laura said while checking the seats and the car, but found nothing.
Is it my own illusion...
"Is that so? Miss Laura, it's long and smooth..." The maid raised her hands, pinched her cheeks and pulled them to both sides, making a funny expression.
Tentacles as thick as earthworms and centipedes entangled and stirred, and emerged from the beautiful maid's cherry-red mouth and hair, turning into fleshy tentacles full of mouthparts, getting thicker and thicker. The maid's face also looked like wax.
It also melted and turned into a pool of dark slime with an inexplicable light, rolling towards Laura from all directions.
This scene broke down Laura's psychological and cognitive defenses. She waved her wand and struck her randomly like a stick, and then her hands were wrapped up and her legs and feet were tied. The greasy, disgusting tentacles even got tangled in her skirt.
"ah--!"
The screams from the carriage woke up Heidirich, who had fallen into dullness and fear due to the abnormality. Just as she was about to open the door, the exquisite carriage was like a mouse's leather bag. In Laura's heart-rending tragedy,
He shouted and jumped up and down.
At the same time, dense footsteps appeared in the darkness. A creature with an outline and shape like a deformed wild dog rushed toward the female knight. Some of them were human, with human hands and heads.
The overdeveloped brain squeezed the skull, the ugly face was extremely distorted, and a pale bone tail was dragged behind it, and it rushed towards the ground with all four limbs lying on the ground.
Heidirich suppressed the disgust and fear rolling in his heart, raised his sword, and sang with almost crazy persistence and calmness amidst the sounds of terrifying screams and the rustling of monsters running.
…
"Isn't it a bit too much? They are senior students~"
On top of the ruins of the cemetery overlooking the carriage, Lana was tearing up his maid uniform and replacing it with ferocious black armor. His body was also gradually transforming from the body shape and appearance of a girl into a resolute and powerful trainee knight.
"If you feel sorry, please don't raise the corners of your mouth when you speak," Griffith wrapped himself in a black robe and tapped his fingers on the sentence, "Launa de Lockhaft, fourth grade at Homemonworth.
, a Sequence 7 witch, a very active and well-known archaeologist and explorer. However, whether it is family or personal strength, she is limited to the extent of attracting attention, completely different from the chosen ones like Galadia and Aaron.
Not on the same level. So, for what reason was she selected for the 24-person roster?"
"Perhaps it's the blessing of ancient inheritance," Lana had finished donning his clothes and grabbed a two-handed battle ax and held it in his hand. "Lockhaft is one of the earliest 500 elder families in Beyeland. Like the Xia Long family,
It has a mystery buried by time.”
Griffith pulled up his hood, put on a mask, and covered his face: "We can't be careless when facing such an opponent. We don't know how much background and cards she has. I have cast fear and let Minos and the zombies
The ghosts have trapped them, so this won't last long. To take them down completely, we have to take action."
"Okay!" Lana put on his helmet, and a terrifying phantom of a giant black wolf appeared behind him. "Heidirich gave it to me. I like this one."
