The corrupted monster entrenched in the middle of the town ruins not only surprised Hao Ren, but even Vero nica, a local who knows a lot about Chaos, expressed great surprise, which made Hao Ren a surprise.
"Isn't this usually the case?" Hao Ren looked at the knight princess beside him. "Don't the old knight just say that after igniting a fire in the town, will the rotting monsters roaming in the wilderness be attracted?"
"But we also said that the number of corrupted monsters is far less than the chaotic servants," Vero nica lowered his voice, with an indistinct tension on her face, she turned her head and Hao Ren saw her pair of lilac eyes in the dark There is a shimmer in the light, "Corrupted monsters are the state after the creatures of the order world are contaminated by chaos, but not all order creatures can become corrupted monsters-in most cases, the polluted people are directly given by the power of chaos. It has swallowed and assimilated, and there is no one in ten that can complete the transformation. In the field of chaos, only the chaotic servants are the real protagonists here. "
Her Royal Highness came to this place, carefully looked at the center of the town, and then retracted her head to explain: "And here is the hinterland of the chaotic realm, it is impossible to have so many corrupted monsters."
The second half of Vero nica's explanation is not so detailed, but Hao Ren has understood what it means.
According to the nature of corrupted monsters, they should be a large number of things that will appear at the junction of the order world and the chaotic world, because only there are enough "materials" that can be transformed by pollution, the more chaotic In the depths, the corrupter should be rarer, and even if there are so few people who happen to be here by chance, they should be very rare-and these in front of them seem to be far beyond the common sense of this world.
"Perhaps it was wandering from other places, such as the border of the world of order." Hao Ren speculatively gazed while looking at the probe.
"Wandering?" Vero nica turned around and glanced at Hao Ren. Although the "ancient guardian" woke up from a deep sleep, it was normal for her memory to be a bit confusing, but the other party still let her after many common sense errors accumulated. Confused, in fact, Her Royal Highness now has doubts about the origin of Hao Ren, but she knows that this powerful "hermit" is now her and her soldiers' last reliance, so she just pressed herself quietly. As I thought, I shook my head gently, "Corrupted monsters rarely wander, they mostly hover where they fell down during their lifetime, and the corrupted monsters that will move their positions are all extremely powerful guys during their lifetime-after they are transformed into monsters Still retain a certain ability to think, so she will take some unexpected autonomous actions. But these ... are not monsters that are powerful enough to migrate at will. "
"It sounds like some kind of undead," Hao Ren grunted. "Okay, let's not consider how these guys are here. The key is what they are gathered here. You see if they are here. What is around? "
Hao Ren raised his finger to the center of the group of monsters, and saw that the countless twisted monster groups gathered actually formed several layers of encircling circles around something, and there was an empty space in the center of all the monsters, standing on the empty space A strange thing in black paint: It is a square stone tower more than ten meters high. The stone tower is divided into three layers from top to bottom, the upper is thinner and the lower is thick, and the complex and mysterious relief is depicted on the two-layer stone wall. At the bottom of the stone tower is a hollow structure, it seems that there is a lot of space inside the tower base.
"That's the fire." Vero nica said.
"Heartfire?" Hao Ren first subconsciously raised a question, and then immediately reacted to it, vaguely carried it, "Oh, we did not use it that year."
Vero nica seems to be used to Hao Ren's "condition", she just nodded clearly: "The fire used today is improved by Archbishop Polman 655 years ago, compared with the old style fire There is an additional rune wall barrier, which looks more like a fire tower used in big cities. You do n’t know it is normal. "
Hao Ren silently wrote down the newly acquired knowledge-the fire seems to be a shelter for smaller settlements, such as village-level units, and the world ’s major cities use a kind of so-called "fire" The powerful device of the "Tower" is used to resist the power of chaos. According to this law, there should be a national-level protection system, and the technology of these protection systems is mostly controlled by a national force called the "Religious State". of. It's just that I don't know what kind of organization the Order is, and how much their "Religion" is related to the Goddess of Creation.
At least a few thousand corrupted monsters ca n’t drain the water that has been extinguished from the fire, but they strangely did n’t take any extra action. These twisted and blind monsters just stood quietly in the dark and all of them Staring straight at the dark square stone tower, this weird scene made people even scalp numb.
Hao Ren frowned: "You fired this fire before? So they were attracted by the fire?"
"Theoretically, but I have never seen monsters attracted by the fire will ... show this state," Vero nica shook his head, "You see that the fire has been extinguished, so the monsters attracted It should be gradually going away, but they stay here motionlessly ... I feel that the tower of fire is emitting a weird breath. "
Hao Ren thought a little and shook his head: "There is no need to spend time with monsters. It's most important to hurry up now. Anyway, these guys don't seem to move places, we can simply bypass this town and save a lot of trouble. "
However, when Vero nica heard it, it was silent. The knight princess thought, and then looked at Hao Ren with an expression of silence.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"I know this is a somewhat excessive request--" Vero nica said, "But I hope to investigate the cause of this anomaly in front of me. All changes that occur in the chaotic land are for people living in an orderly world It is vital intelligence. Usually we need to make huge sacrifices to hear the news in the depths of chaos ... "
Hao Ren knows what she means without waiting for the other party to finish talking: Her Royal Highness actually wanted to check the condition of the furnace.
When there are thousands of monsters around.
If you are really a native who grew up in Koror, after hearing the request of Vero nica, I am afraid that you will be rudely rejected-after all, courage does not mean recklessness.
However, Hao Ren is different, he nodded after a moment of thinking: because he was very interested in the fire installation, in fact, if he was not bringing a group of disabled soldiers, he would definitely think of coming here by himself. Way to turn over the entire ruins and study it again.
This is the professionalism of the censor: observe.
"You agree?" Vero nica looked at Hao Ren in astonishment, and the title of honor was directly added to the tone, "But as you said, we don't actually need to be here ..."
Hao Ren waved his hand to interrupt the other party ’s next words: "Because I can do it, I agree. But these monsters are really a bit troublesome. Too many, thousands of heads may be gathered in the square, and I suspect the shadows nearby There are more guys in it. A person can only use so much power to deal with so many monsters, but the scope is too large. "
Vero nica swallowed, and the image of "Ancient Man" became even more unpredictable in her mind, but she quickly entered the state: "You are right, fighting here may destroy the furnace device, so It ’s best to lead these monsters away. And as long as it is temporarily away-if I can get close to the base of the fire, I can let it burn again. Although it is only temporarily burned, the power of the fire is still more than ordinary. The relics are powerful, and by the time the power of the fire is over, the monsters are not afraid. "
Hao Ren raised his eyebrows: "So the plan is for me to lead those monsters away, and then do you want to find a way to fire in the center of the square?"
Vero nica nodded, but his face was ashamed.
Because this arrangement is obviously excessive, especially in the face of a benefactor who has just met and saved his life not long ago, letting the other party do such a seemingly dead thing can be said to abandon the knighthood.
Although in terms of the strength shown by this "ancient guardian", this "bait" job is actually not so dangerous.
Hao Ren did not think so much. He just recalled the various battles he had experienced, and then nodded: "Success, then I want to find ways to lead these monsters away. I am still good at pulling monsters."
Vero nica has a crooked head: "Pull monster?"
"It's just to lure the enemy," Hao Ren touched his chin. "Otherwise, it's not safe if you go to fire alone. It's better to bring your knights too, because I'm not very stable ..."
The head of Vero nica is still not coming: "Is the blame unstable?"
"It's just that there is no way to lead all monsters away-many blame don't eat taunts."
Vero nica thought for a while and thought that the language of ancient people was really deep. (To be continued.)
