Hollow Knight: Hallownest

Silence fell.

The fainted residents remained the same, without any movement at all, just as the sentries expected.

But this is not what the White King wants.

How he wished that the sarcasm of the God of Light could be heard in his heart at this time, whether it was ridicule or abuse, anything would do, at least a little reaction, but repeating the same tricks may not always give him what he wanted, and this provoking method was not surprising. Failed.

King Bai slowly descended from the sky to the prophet's side and spoke again:

"Is there any way you can find her in these people's dreams, even if there is a trace."

The prophet's eyes lowered. If it were anyone else, she would not want to say a word. Even King Bai thought so.

As the king of Hallownest, you still come to ask me something that you can't even handle?

Even though I, as a member of the moth clan, was born in her light, it would be too fanciful to try to imitate the sun with candlelight.

"No, my power is far from that strong. Being able to sense the breath of these residents is already my limit..."

The prophet shook his head, but there was an inexplicable meaning flashing in her eyes.

What King Bai said reminded her that if she really wanted to find a clansman who could do what he said, the only one would be the most powerful warrior of their clan, but thinking about it, she had no intention of saying it. .

That soldier didn't have a good temper, and King Bai didn't want to provoke him, so he simply kept silent and let nature take its course.

After listening to the prophet's words, King Bai closed his eyes. Now it seemed that he had no choice but to make this move.

"You go back, you have worked hard on this trip."

The prophet originally thought that King Bai was going to make things difficult for her again, but when she heard that King Bai was going to let her go, she felt a little uneasy. The source of this disaster was closely related to the moth family, but now King Bai just She caught him, asked him some questions, and then let him go, which was really abnormal.

But she really couldn't think of what kind of medicine was sold in Bai Wang's gourd, so she had no choice but to nod her head and turn around to leave.

"God of light, don't say I won't give you a chance. You forced me to do this."

King Bai's eyes flashed with evil intent, but he did not immediately go to his resting place, but instead walked to the crossroads.

First, stabilize the situation. If something unexpected happens again while executing the plan, he can still be somewhat prepared. In fact, he has been beating drums in his heart, feeling a little uneasy.

What if the God of Light refuses to do this and wants to give up on her people?

She had no idea how important the moth clan was to her, but if both parties were torn apart, could he still be able to save Hallownest?

Only then did King Bai realize that there were still too many flaws in his plan. Being too tough would leave no room for both sides, but now, he had no other way.

Clenching his palms, King Bai made up his mind.

There are some things that you don’t know the result until you do them.

......

On the crossroads, the addition of guards caused the depressed residents to stop moving and gather together. The once bustling streets now became dead and silent.

"Lord Watcher, all mutated residents on the crossroads have been calmed down. We are waiting for your next instructions!"

Seeing this, Lurian took a long breath, and the fatigue under the mask relaxed a little.

"Are you sure they're all here? You didn't overlook anything, right?"

The guard said firmly: "Don't worry, sir! Every place on the crossroads has been searched by guards and sentries, and no place has been missed."

The reason why he is so sure is because almost all the residents in Crossroads have been infected by the inexplicable symptoms. If you look around now, you can hardly find any residents living outside in Crossroads, only those flying insects with simple minds.

The reason why it is 'almost' is because they found a group of maggots in a simple settlement. As the lowest labor force in Hallownest, the guards were almost ready to fight, although it might not take much effort.

But unexpectedly, the maggots did not mutate. After seeing them, they ran away very naturally. The situation was tense. Seeing that the maggots were not infected, they went elsewhere.

"Disband, I'd rather trouble you to guard."

"Your Excellency, it is our duty as guards to defeat us and relieve Hallownest's worries!"

Seeing Lu Ruien wave his hand, the guard stopped staying and went back to find Zeruo to recover. The White King also came to Lu Ruien's side not long after the guard left.

"Your Majesty, is there a solution to this problem?"

The fatigue in Lu Ruien's eyes turned into hope, but it dimmed again because of the White King's silence.

"Your Majesty, the residents of Hallownest are like this for a while, but they cannot be like this forever. If it is useful to have a humble minister, your Majesty, just speak up!"

He didn't believe that even King Bai couldn't do anything about it. He just thought it was because the price was too high and King Bai couldn't speak out.

"Lurien, this is the price of the ancient god's anger. There are some difficulties we must face head on."

"During this period, you will continue to maintain the security of the main city and the outside world. You don't need to think about other things. I have a plan."

Lurian asked worriedly: "Your Majesty, how long will it take?"

King Bai sighed, and his white body slowly disappeared from Lureen's eyes.

"I do not know either."

......

"Have you felt it, Zeruo, this is the power of my king, she is back."

After the guards returned to Zeruo, they all returned to the palace. Of the fifty guards, only forty-eight returned to the palace.

Next to the huge statue on the top of the Crystal Mountain Peak, there are two red rays that are very dazzling. The figure close to the statue has a majestic back, with rosary beads hanging on his chest, and his pupils are shining with light, and the person sitting next to him, He looked a little thin. If Mo Rong were here, he would not be unfamiliar with these two people.

Sitting next to the radiant statue were Zero and Marcos.

"Is that the power your king shows? It's really terrifying."

Ze Ruo's expression was a little solemn. He had also heard Marcos describe the power of the God of Light, but words could not compare to the shock brought by reality. He had single-handedly changed thousands of residents, which he had never imagined. Great power.

"But Marcos, why did she do this? These residents are all innocent..."

"Zeruo, it's not like I haven't told you that this land belongs to my king."

Marcos stood up, and the moth wings dancing behind him took him high into the sky, slightly lower than the radiant statue, looking down at the entire land of Hallownest.

"Even if my king has been sleeping for a long time, it doesn't mean that anyone can get involved in this land."

"And that despicable invader needs to pay the price!"
