Hyperdimensional Warlock

Chapter 848 Heart Eater

Shannon was silent for a long time, and slowly said: "Because he sent his monsters to the palace once."

"Monster?" Angel looked at Shannon suspiciously.

"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 this monster. Its mouth was like a crocodile, its fangs turned inside out, and its gray skin could be seen faintly. There are blue and purple blood vessels inside, no nose bridge, only five neatly arranged nostrils, and its eyes are huge, but only one.

After listening to Shannon's narration, Angel seemed to think of something, and used the illusion to simulate a petite Warcraft image on the desktop, which was almost the same as the appearance described by Shannon.

"Is this the case?" Angor asked.

When Shannon saw this phantom, she was taken aback, but when Angel asked her, she realized that the other party seemed to be imitating the appearance of the monster in some way.

"It's very similar, but the skin color looks darker than the adult's." Shannon distinguished after careful observation.

Angor showed a clear look and motioned for Shannon to continue.

Shannon: "This monster came to the capital and attacked the palace. It was extremely ferocious, and it could often tear out a human heart with one claw, and then gnawed it on the spot... That night, it killed almost one tenth of the people in the palace."

Angel heard that the monster loved eating hearts, and became more convinced of its identity.

"This is a Gomito, and it is called a heart eater by a popular name." Angle paused: "Generally speaking, a heart eater is not a thing of this world, but a summoned beast. But they are relatively low-level, their IQ is not enough, and their looks are too... So, the ones who summon them are either people with unique tastes, or they have no other choice, in short, they may be wilderness wizards."

"Is it an official wizard?" Leon asked quickly.

"If it is an official wizard, how long can the Shannon royal family last?" Angel said: "For example, if Mrs. Eureka takes action to completely destroy the Canary Empire, it will not take more than a week. If you kill the royal family alone, A few minutes might be enough."

Angor's example made Shannon's back shiver, and he became even more afraid of the wizard's power.

"Since Shannon said that the heart-eater's skin color is very dull, then the person summoned by the other party is probably an old and frail heart-eater. This kind of low-level summoner cannot be perfectly summoned, and it is probably a first-level and second-level apprentice. level." After a pause, Angel said again: "It seems that there is really extraordinary power involved in this war. And he is still a low-level apprentice who does not follow the default rules and acts recklessly. Then I prefer The other party is a wilderness apprentice."

Ingres finally gave a characterization.

Although in Angel's words, the heart-eater is a low-powered summoner, but if it is facing a mortal, a heart-eater can easily wipe out the entire city.

Just the invulnerable skin of the Heart Eater is beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Just like General Meng En in Tan Hong Kong, his death also fits the characteristics of a heart eater. In a port where the army is stationed, a heart eater can enter the land of no one, let alone a palace with fewer people than a military port. .

Therefore, Angor was very curious: "Once the heart eaters start killing, they will never stop easily. Now there is no news of the death of a direct descendant from the Shannon royal family, that is to say, you killed the heart eaters. Retired? How did you do it?"

Shannon was silent, and said after a long time: "The royal family has a treasure that can protect and defeat heart eaters."

At this time, Leon said: "If the royal family has such a treasure, are you 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 one person. In order to kill the heart eater, the third brother has died, and the Shannon royal family has There are few people, so it is not cost-effective to use that treasure. What's more, the extraordinary person hidden behind can continue to summon heart-eating ghosts. If we continue to consume it, our family 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 made a knight salute: "Save our impending collapse of the Canary Empire."

Angel still didn't answer, but was thinking about the treasure the other party said.

A treasure related to blood, every time it is used, one person must be sacrificed?It sounds a bit strange, a blood relationship means that when the other party refines treasures, they hope to pass them on.But when using it, one person must be sacrificed, which is not in line with the characteristics of blood relationship.

It sounds very contradictory.But Angel could see that Shannon was not lying. Could it be that the person who refined this treasure both loved and hated 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 looked at Shannon who was kneeling down.

Instead of responding to Shannon's plea, he asked:

"You just said that the heart-eater came to attack the royal family, but you haven't said why it came? How do you know that the heart-eater is still standing behind it when I didn't say that the heart-eater is a summoned object?" A Transcendent?"

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 eater? Could it be that the extraordinary person also contacted you?"

Shannon hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Before the Heart Eater came, there was a letter in my father's hand. That letter explained his reason for coming, and he asked us to hand over the treasure... Father just tore it up. After he was killed, there was a heart-eating ghost attack, and later Hailan counterattacked everywhere, and the generals of many provinces were killed by the heart-eating ghost."

"It can be seen that there is an extraordinary person behind the heart-eater, and he is standing in Hailan's camp. He may have judged that it would be impossible to storm the palace, so he simply helped Hailan and used the method of cannibalism to completely lose Jinque."

Angel was not interested in the owner of the Heart Eater. What Shannon said most concerned him was...

"He wants you to hand over the treasure? What treasure, the one you killed the heart eater before?"

"It's not that volume... the treasure, what he wants is something else."

Angor noticed that Shannon seemed to use a strange quantifier in the description of the previous treasure, but he didn't go into it, but 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 my lord is willing to help us... I can tell my lord this secret."

As soon as this sentence came out, before Angel could answer, Leon's face became a little worried.

"Are you threatening?" Leon narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and stood beside Shannon.

Leon's indifferent tone made Shannon's heart tremble, but what made Shannon feel uneasy the most was that Leon standing beside her exuded a strong sense of oppression, which seemed to be a natural oppression brought by his blood, which made Shannon feel uneasy. She had that chilling sense of dread in the face of an invincible beast.

Angel also noticed the strange oppression on Leon's body. That kind of pressure came from pure flesh, and it was even stronger than the oppression when he first met Nausicaa.

"What kind of training did my brother go through in the past few years? How did the strength of the physical body improve so much?" Angel thought silently in his heart.

Faced with Leon's bullying pressure, Shannon's voice trembled a little: "I'm not threatening, this is the bottom line my father gave me. I know it's unreasonable to ask Mr. Wizard to help us for nothing. We can show it with What the adults exchanged is only the secret of that treasure."

When Leon was about to say something, Angel interrupted him: "I want to know, is the secret of this treasure related to it?"

Angel pointed to the broken knight sword on the table.

Shannon nodded without hesitation: "That's right."

Hearing this answer, Angel fell into deep thought, as if hesitating whether to agree to Shannon.

This aroused a little curiosity in Leon's heart. When he discussed refugees with Angel, he could see that Angel didn't care about the outcome of the war between Canary and Hailan.He didn't even have the slightest intention of getting involved. As an elder brother who had lived together for more than ten years, Leon understood Angel's thoughts very well, and it was difficult to change what he had decided.

But why did the fragment of a knight's sword make Angel hesitate?It seems that there is still a plan to change the decision?
"Is there any secret about this knight sword?" Leon couldn't help but leaned forward and asked.

"I don't know the specific secret, but there are some details that I am very concerned about." Angel said vaguely.

Shannon has also been watching Angor. The only hope for the Shannon royal family now is for them to have an extraordinary 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 uneasy at this moment, looking at Angel with expectations and pleadings.

After a long while, Angel finally nodded under Shannon's excited eyes.

"I can promise you, but I also have a request."

……

An hour later, Angel took the airship and took Shannon to Sea Moon City.

According to Shannon, Hai Lan's army has assembled in the waters hundreds of miles away from Vichy port, and the next target of attack must be Haiyue City.

According to the previous attack and defense, the wizard apprentice who summoned the heart eater would definitely let the heart eater kill the generals of Haiyue City first. When the high-level collapsed and the army's morale was disturbed, Hai Lan's soldiers would take advantage of the vacancy and take Haiyue city.

This is also the reason why Heilan frequently wins battles. It is because of the appearance of the heart eaters that the success rate of their "beheading operations" has greatly improved.

"According to my lord's request, as long as my lord can solve the other's extraordinary person, we will leave the rest to us." Shannon said respectfully.

Angel nodded. Although he agreed to Shannon's request this time, he didn't want to intervene in the war of mortals. First, killing mortals was not what he wanted, even Hailan's mortals; second, it was a waste of time.

Therefore, he made a request that he only deal with the other party's transcendent, and the victory of the war still needs to be fought by the canary army.

And the time he arranged for himself for this operation was two days.
