Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Sly heard the sound of knocking on the door early this morning. Although he rarely slept in, he still wanted to spend more time in bed occasionally. He had no choice but to get drowsy easily as he got older.

"Who is it? Disturbing your dreams so early in the morning."

"Master! It's me! Mato!"

He had just gotten up and his mind hadn't recovered yet. After a while, Sly realized that the voice was indeed that of his apprentice Mato, but why was he knocking on his door at this time?

beep~

The hurried knocking on the door continued, and I don’t know why Mato was so anxious. Sly walked towards the door and cursed: "You brat, it seems that the exercises I usually arrange for you are too easy, and you sleep so uneasily... ....”

"What?"

With a creak, the wooden door opened and Sly frowned and looked at Mato. There were beads of sweat on his forehead. He looked anxious. After Sly opened the door, Mato didn't wait for him. Make more preparations, quickly pull him and walk to a place quickly. This is to take care of Sly just getting up, otherwise he would just start running.

"Master, come with me quickly to see the residents of the town!"

"what happened?"

Mato was not an impatient person, but his appearance now aroused Sly's curiosity as to what happened so early in the morning that made his apprentice so flustered.

"This...is...oh! I can't explain clearly. Anyway, please come with me and have a look. The situation is urgent!"

Mato gestured with his other hand, his eyes anxious, and he opened and closed his mouth many times but couldn't say anything, so he had to speed up his pace again.

Different from the usual quiet Ditmouth in the early morning, as the distance between the two people running continued to increase, the noise in their ears gradually became clearer, and the anger and wailing mixed in it also made Sly realize what was going on. severity.

"Speed ​​up the pace!"

Mato's hand holding Sly's arm suddenly became empty, and then he saw a gray shadow passing by him. Seeing Sly start to gallop, Mato also quickly quickened his pace.

beep...

The muffled sound began to gradually replace the noise, followed by the muffled sound caused by the collision of flesh and the ground. When Mato arrived at the scene of the incident, the source of the noise could not be seen. Sly fainted in the crowd.

"Mato, what on earth is going on?"

Sly's frown deepened, and the confusion in his eyes was like the thick fog that hung over Ditmouth in the early morning, which could not be cleared away.

His footsteps have covered almost half of Hallownest, and Dirtmouth is the place with the most simple folk customs he has ever seen. The relationship between the neighbors here is very harmonious. Usually, if someone needs help, he can just shout a few times outside. Someone responded.

But in the horrific scene just now, the residents were fighting each other, even if they saw blood, they didn't show any mercy. The eyes of the residents who usually interacted with each other seemed to be looking at enemies, and they were extremely jealous.

"Master... I don't know this either! So why don't I invite you to come and take a look!"

Seeing that the accident had been calmed down by the master's thunderous means, Ma Tuo couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief, but he was still worried. He didn't know what caused the accident at all. Even if a conflict occurred, it shouldn't be on such a large scale.

Seeing that Sly was also meditating on the spot, Mato muttered subconsciously: "It would be great if the eldest brother is still here. He has a flexible mind and should be able to figure out what is going on."

"This breath..."

Sly leaned down and carefully felt the breath of the fainted residents at his feet. The confusion in his eyes faded a little. Then he looked at their orange eyes and made an inference in his heart.

"The malice in their hearts was amplified by some unknown force...Mato!"

Sly's sudden roar frightened Mato, and he quickly responded: "What's wrong, Master?!"

"Go and look at other places in the town! If my guess is right, this kind of thing happens in other places too!"

After hearing this, Mato didn't dare to delay at all and immediately ran in the opposite direction. Sly's roar was still coming from behind.

"If you encounter a sentry, report it. We need support here!!!"

......

Although Ida was anxious, there was nothing he could do. He asked all the guards he knew, but could not find out where Merong was being held. He was so anxious that he even wanted to find Delia, but just as he was about to run to In the martial arts arena, I remembered that she had gone abroad with Madam White.

As Delia's disciple, he should have gone together, but he didn't know why he wasn't notified. Although his status was half higher than that of ordinary guards, there were only a few places he could go in the white palace. Only a few places.

During this period of time, Ida's whole body felt like it was being roasted on a slow fire, and it was extremely painful. Finally, two days later, a brief order from the king let him know where he could see Mo Rong.

But he was not happy at all, because it was an execution order.

Murong was sentenced to death.

"How's it going? Did you have a comfortable stay these two days?"

The door of the cell opened slowly, and the white light hit the dark face from the crack of the door, making him narrow his eyes involuntarily.

"You'll know after you live there by yourself for a few days. Alas, your attitude makes it difficult for me to keep your secret."

Mo Rong lay down again and said lazily.

King Bai's figure appeared in the light outside the door, and then walked into the cell and was covered by shadows.

"You're not scared at all?"

"What are you afraid of?"

"Aren't you afraid that I will go and verify what you said in the next few days to see if it is true?"

"Humph......"

Mo Rong sneered, twisted his neck and said with a smile: "What I said is true, so why am I afraid that you will verify it... Ugh!"

Before the words could be fully finished, the force that appeared in the main hall not long ago once again strangled Mo Rong, tightening it continuously. Combined with the coldness of King Bai, Mo Rong felt a little cold in his heart.

"I came here this time to pronounce your death, and I also wanted to threaten me with Bai..."

"You are so smart, don't you know the origin of Bai, and want to use it to deceive me? I can find out with just a little exploration!"

"I...of course I know..."

"And I... also know that... you haven't found anything... at all..."

Mo Rong struggled, but the corners of his mouth turned up, and his words were full of smiles.

If King Bai really knew it with just a little exploration, how could he be allowed to live until now?

Bai Wang's face hidden in the shadows made Mo Rong unable to see clearly, but he could guess that it must be as ugly as eating a gun at this moment.

thump!

The power retreated as suddenly as it had come.

"I'm going to sentence you to death."
