Hollow Knight: Hallownest

After leaving the mask maker, Mo Rong went all the way up, and the surrounding barren soil was gradually covered by flowers and plants. The boredom lingering in the deep nest was finally released at this moment.

"who is it?!"

The shouts coming from the depths of the jungle frightened Mo Ronghuhu, and he quickly turned his head to see who had disturbed his interest in viewing the scenery.

Dark blue armor gradually emerged from the bushes. From a rough look, there were more than ten sentries, and the leader was a guard.

Mo Rong didn't want to quarrel with them, but there was only one way up, so he had to go forward to negotiate. "Master Guard, can I pass by by the way?"

The leading guard was not a bully, and Mo Rong asked nicely without any overstep, so he relaxed a little.

"Don't you know that this is where the queen is stationed and outsiders are prohibited from setting foot there?"

"Expatriate?"

Morong thought for a while. Although he didn't know what the 'foreign station' in the guard's words meant, it probably had something to do with the boundary called 'Queen's Garden'.

"Master guard, it's just that the common people don't have tram passes, and it's too dangerous to return to the deep nest. I really have no choice. If you are worried, you can send someone to keep an eye on me."

After hearing this, the guard shook his head decisively. He was not stupid. Since Mo Rong could come up from here and didn't take the tram, he must have come from Deep Nest.

"The queen is stationed in an important place. I cannot let any unknown outsider in. Go back to where you came from."

"Are you really not allowed in?"

The guard nodded simply. After seeing this, Mo Rong thought for a moment and moved towards the guard.

"Hey, what do you do..."

Just when he was about to stop Mo Rong's actions, the guard suddenly saw several hard objects in his hands. When he looked closely, they were all Jinjiou.

After Mo Rong finished giving it, he immediately pulled away to prevent other sentries from seeing the clues. The guard coughed twice and silently put Gio away.

Who would mind having too much money?

"Are you really just a passerby?"

Mo Rong nodded fiercely. The guard glanced at him up and down, and waved behind him. After seeing the guard's gesture, the sentries gradually disappeared into the jungle.

"Let's go. Of course it's impossible to let you in alone. I have to watch from the side. Is that okay with you?"

The guard glanced sideways at Mo Rong. It was obvious that he wasn't really asking for his opinion. Mo Rong also knew what was going on. It was just a way to pass by, and maybe the guard could be used as a guide or something.

"Of course, the guard is really doing his duty, but I'm not familiar with the road here, so I have to ask you to show me the way."

The Gio in his hand has not yet been warmed up, so the guard will naturally not shirk this small matter.

"where are you going?"

"Crossroad, does the guard know the route?"

"Stop talking nonsense and come with me. It'll be nice if you can stay here."

The guard turned around and walked towards the path in the forest first, and Mo Rong hurriedly followed behind him.

"There is no direct access to the crossroads here. The most I can do is send you to the fungus wasteland, and you can take care of the rest of the way."

Mo Rong didn't say anything, just followed the guard quietly and looked at the scenery of the Queen's Garden.

After going deep, Mo Rong discovered a strange place. He carefully observed every jungle, but could not find any trace of sentries. Logically speaking, the defense in this hinterland should be tighter.

After walking for a while, the previously indifferent guard began to pay attention to his surroundings, and even his steps became much lighter. Mo Rong was a little confused, but when he was about to ask, the guard covered his mouth.

"The queen often walks around here, so don't disturb her."

Only after seeing Mo Rong nod his hand did the guard dare to let go.

Thinking that more things are worse than less things, the guards were secretly praying along the way that the queen would not go out today, but before they took a few steps, the two groups of people bumped into each other by some strange combination of circumstances.

"Meet the Queen!"

......

In these green days, accompanied by the pleasant scenery and the lovely Malmu, the depression in Lady White's heart had dissipated a lot, but the arrival of the White King made her become worried again.

The relatives sent by Green to guard the torch could not escape her perception. The scarlet flames had actually taken root in Hallownest in such a short period of time, and the power within them made her heart tremble.

If King Bai hadn't told her personally, she would never have sat idly by in Canlu.

Malmu was nestled in the palm of the white lady and was gently caressed by her. It closed its eyes comfortably, but the arrival of Mo Rong and the guards made it straighten up instantly, as if it did not welcome these two uninvited guests.

"Didn't I say that you are not needed here?"

"I dare not disobey the king's order. Please forgive me, the queen!"

The White Lady wanted to say something else, but the guard couldn't help himself, so there was no point in trying to embarrass him.

"Get up."

After the words fell, the guard stood up neatly, but Mo Rong was not so lucky. He felt as if something was pressed against his neck, suppressing him and preventing him from getting up.

"This little friend comes from the Deep Nest and wants to go to the crossroads. If the queen doesn't allow it, then..."

The guard hurriedly explained, but immediately fell silent when he saw Delia's cold eyes.

"Go back."

"Yes!"

Even if the guard didn't know how to look, he could still understand that Mo Rong was definitely not an ordinary person, otherwise he would never have been noticed by Delia. After responding, he disappeared into the jungle.

"Drea, let go."

Delia frowned, her spirit tense to the extreme. Immediately after Madam White gave the order, she still placed the bone nail on Mo Rong's neck. It wasn't until the root caught her arm that the bone nail was slowly retracted. Went back.

The aura exuding from Mo Rong's body will never be forgotten by Delia in her lifetime, not to mention the last time she saw a creature emitting such aura... No, she didn't even want to call it a 'creature', then She always thought that there would not be another monster that was made of black substance and made the five knights look weak.

There is now.

The White Lady's reaction to Delia was not surprising. She also knew about Black Worm's deeds, which must have left a big shadow on Delia's heart.

"Queen, in order to ensure your safety, please step back. I will handle the negotiation."

To be honest, this was the first time Madam White had seen Delia's cautious reaction. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, and pulled her to her side.

"Don't worry, places are different."

Delia knew that the White Lady meant that this was not an abyss, but the White Lady had never seen the horror of Black Worm. When she saw her stretching out her roots to help Mo Rong, Delia's hand holding the bone nail moved again. Clenched a little tighter.

"what!"

Hearing Madam White's exclamation, before Delia's mind could react, her body moved. She pulled Madam White away with one hand and swung the bone nail down with the other hand.

"Drea stop it!"

Although the White Lady spoke very quickly, Delia was always known for her speed. By the time the White Lady finished speaking, the bone nail had already cut through Mo Rong's neck.

The sound of the mask hitting the green grass was slightly dull.
