Chapter 1224: Abnormal aggregation
The corrupted demon in the middle of the town's ruins not only made Hao Ren startled, but even the locals who Veronica had a good understanding of the chaotic land expressed great surprise, which made Hao Ren very surprised.
“Is it not like this?” Hao Ren looked at the knight princess around him. “Isn’t the old knight just said that after igniting the fire in the town, will the corrupted monsters wandering in the wilderness be attracted?”
"But we also said that the number of corrupted demons is much less than that of chaotic servants," Veronica suppressed her voice, her face with an unspeakable tension. She turned her head and Hao Ren saw her lavender scorpion There is a shimmer in the darkness. "The corrupted monster is the state after the soul of the order world is polluted by chaos, but not all the ordering creatures can become corrupted monsters. In most cases, the polluters are directly swallowed by the chaotic forces. Assimilation, there is no one in the transformation. In the field of chaos, only the chaotic servant is the real protagonist here."
Her Royal Highness said here, carefully looking at the center of the town and taking a look back and explaining: "And here is the hinterland of chaos, and the number of corrupted monsters is even less likely to be so much."
Veronica's second half of the explanation did not say so detailed, but Hao Ren already understood what it meant.
According to the nature of the corrupted monsters, they should be a large number of things that appear at the junction of the order world and the chaotic world, because only there are enough "materials" to be polluted and transformed, and the deeper into the chaos, The more corrupt the corrupter should be, even if there are so few chances that the guys who appear here should be just a few of them, and it seems to be far from the common sense of the world.
"Maybe it is wandering from other places, such as the border of the order world." Hao Ren looked at him and looked around and guessed.
"Wandering?" Veronica turned to look at Hao Ren. Although the "ancient guardian" woke up from a deep sleep, the memory was a bit confusing. It was normal, but the other party still let the mistakes in common sense accumulate. She is full of doubts. In fact, the Princess of the Princess has now doubted the origin of Hao Ren, but she knows that this powerful "hermit" is the last resort of her own and her own soldiers, so she just quietly pressed Under my heart, I gently shook my head. "The corrupted monsters rarely wander. Most of them are in the place where they fell before their death. The corrupted monsters that move in position are all extremely powerful guys when they are converted into monsters." Still retaining a certain amount of thinking, so I will take some unexpected autonomous actions. But these are not the kind of monsters that are powerful enough to move freely."
“It sounds like some kind of undead,” Hao Ren said. “Well, let’s not consider how these guys appear here. The key is why they are gathered here. Do you see if they are surrounded? what?"
Hao Ren raised his finger to the center of the group of monsters, only to see that the countless group of twisted monsters actually formed several layers of ring-shaped encirclement around something, and there was an open space in the center of all the monsters. The eccentric thing of black lacquer: it is a square stone tower of more than ten meters high. The stone tower is divided into three layers from top to bottom. The upper and lower are thick and thick, and the complex mysterious relief is painted on the stone walls above the two layers. The bottom layer is a hollow structure, it seems that there is a lot of space inside the tower.
"That is the fire," Veronica said.
“Fire?” Hao Renxian was subconsciously raising a question, and then followed the reaction and mixed up. “Oh, we didn’t use it that year.”
Veronica seems to have gotten used to Hao Ren’s “conditions”. She just nodded. “The fire that is used today is improved by the Archbishop of Polk, 655 years ago, compared to the old furnace. The fire has a level of rune wall, which looks more like the tower of fire in the big city. You don't know it is normal."
Hao Ren silently remembered that the newly acquired knowledge was a shelter for small-scale settlements, such as village-level units, and the world’s big cities used a type of tower called the “Fire Tower”. Powerful devices to resist the forces 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 state power called the "religious country." I just don't know what kind of organization the religious group is, and how much their "educational group" has connected with the goddess of creation.
The corrupted monsters, which are at least a few thousand in size, can't pass the water surrounded by the extinguished fire device, but they are strangely not taking any extra action. These twisted and blind monsters just stand quietly in the dark, and all hook straight Staring at the dark square stone tower, this strange scene seems to make people even scalp.
Hao Ren frowned. "Before you ignited this fire? So they are attracted by the fire?"
"In theory, but I have never seen a monster attracted by the fire... will show this state," Veronica shook her head. "You see that the fire is extinguished, so the attracted monster It should be gradually dispersed, but they stayed here motionless... I feel that the tower of the fire is emitting a strange atmosphere."
Hao Ren slightly thought, shook his head: "There is no need to spend time with monsters, the most important thing is to hurry. Anyway, these guys don't seem to move, we can simply bypass the town and save a lot of trouble."
However, after Veronica was heard, she was silent. The knight princess thought about it, and then looked at Hao Ren with her expression of words.
"What's wrong?" Hao Ren asked curiously.
"I know this is a bit too much request," Veronica said. "But I hope to investigate the cause of this anomaly. All changes in the land of chaos are for those living in the order world. Important information, we often have to make huge sacrifices to find out the news of the chaos..."
Hao Ren didn't wait for the other party to finish, she knew what she meant: the Princess of the Princess wanted to check the situation of the fire device.
In the case of surrounded by thousands of monsters.
If it is a local who is born and raised in Kolo, I am afraid that after I hear Veronica’s request, I will not be polite to refuse. After all, courage is not equal to recklessness.
However, Hao Ren is not the same. He nodded a little after thinking: because he is full of interest in the fire device. In fact, if he is not carrying a group of disabled soldiers, he will definitely find a way to come here alone. The entire ruins have been turned over and studied again.
This is the professionalism of the examiner: observe.
"Do you agree?" Veronica looked at Hao Ren with amazement. The tone added a tribute directly to the tone. "But as you said, we don't really need to be here..."
Hao Ren waved his hand and interrupted the other words: "Because I can do it, I agree. But these monsters are really a little troublesome, there are too many, and there may be thousands of heads in the square, and I suspect there are more in the shadows nearby. Many guys, one person can only use a powerful attack against so many monsters, but the scope is too large."
Veronica swallowed, and the image of "Ancients" became more unpredictable in her mind, but she still entered the state quickly: "You are right, fighting here may destroy the fire device, so It is best to take these monsters apart. And if you can temporarily open it, if I can get close to the base of the fire, I can let it burn again. Although it is only temporary burning, the power of the fire is still better than the general holy thing. Powerful, when the power of the fire is used, the monster is not afraid."
Hao Renyi raised an eyebrow: "So the plan is that I will lead the monsters, and then you want to go to the center of the square to ignite?"
Veronica nodded, but her face looked awkward.
Because this arrangement is obviously too much, especially in the face of a benefactor who just met and saved his life not long ago, letting the other person do this seemingly deadly thing can be said to be abandoning the knight's way.
Although the strength of this "ancient guardian" is not so dangerous, the work of this "bait" is actually not so dangerous.
Hao Ren didn't think so much. He just recalled the various battles he had experienced and nodded. "Cheng, then I have tried to lead these monsters away. I am still good at pulling strange."
Veronica’s head glimpsed: “Raman?”
"It is to lure the enemy," Hao Ren touched his chin. "In addition, if you go to the ignition alone, it is not safe. It is best to bring your knights, because I am not very stable."
Veronica’s head is still not coming over: “Is it strange to pull?”
"There is no way to take the monsters away and ridicule them."
Veronica thought about it and thought that the language of the ancients was really deep. (To be continued.) 8
