Hollow Knight: Hallownest

"Sprint! Sprint! Sprint!"

On the roof tiles in Mantis Village, a slightly fat figure kept moving around, followed by many fast-moving spikes.

"You kid, get down here. You're a coward. If you have the guts, don't run away!"

"Come down here and let's have a good chat. I'll give you a hand!"

Behind the nail spear was a group of mantis warriors and young men chasing him. Although they were born with mantis claws and could move flexibly on the walls of the village, they were still unable to deal with the figure who only saw the cloak but no one.

"Hahaha, if you have the guts, catch up with me!"

"A bunch of guys who are as slow as snails, let's eat their shit!"

Although Print's words were full of smiles, if one looked carefully, there was a different kind of dissatisfaction hidden in his eyes.

"***! Just wait for me!"

The faces of the Mantis warriors were red with anger, their mouths were trembling, and they began to curse uncontrollably. More spikes flew towards Print, much harder than before, but they still missed the target.

"Tsk, why doesn't their lord take action?"

......

"Wow, is this what your village is like?"

Quiruo looked at the multiple devices braked by gears not far away and couldn't help but sigh.

His thoughts were surprisingly consistent with Fast's.

It was no wonder that Quirrel had visited all the places he had visited in Hallownest. Apart from his own archives, the only place he had visited was the City of Tears.

"Of course. In addition to our excellent martial arts, we are also good in other aspects."

The mantis warrior smiled, but as the noise in the depths got closer and closer, his face became ugly.

"Oh~, listen to this, Print is here again."

"Let's go and meet him."

Mo Rong was more curious about Print. He thought about this name throughout the game memory, but could not find any information about him.

The three people jumped down from the entrance, and soon they saw a group of mantis warriors throwing spike spears towards an open space.

"Um, what are they doing?"

Mo Rong asked with a strange look on his face, is there any competitive activity like javelin throwing in Mantis Village? Why hasn't he heard of it?

"Oh! I saw him!"

Quiro was the first to discover Print. He stopped on top of a house and raised the corners of his mouth unconsciously.

Mo Rong looked towards Kui Ruo's eyes and found the figure of that person.

Behind him is a moth-wing cloak?

Not long after his eyes came into contact with Print, he disappeared from the eyes of the two of them again.

"What about people?"

"There."

Murong raised his chin, but then questions and surprise appeared on his face.

"What's happening here?!"

The reason why he could see it before Quiro was that he knew that Plint's sudden burst of speed came from the cloak behind him, but if it was just because of this, there was no reason to stump the Mantis Warrior and others.

So in the next moment, he saw Prince's figure constantly changing in the air. To do this, he had to use the moth-wing cloak continuously, but this seemed impossible to him.

When he and Ida obtained the moth-wing cloak, he tried to use it many times in a short period of time, but none of them succeeded.

This is because each contraction and expansion of the moth wings takes time. If he wants to release the two sprints in a very short time, he asks himself that he cannot do this.

But this person in front of me can actually...

"It's over now."

Quiruo looked at Print who was stuck against the wall, shook his head and sighed. The escape route was blocked on both sides of this position, so how could he run away?

The mantis warrior on the side reminded him not to worry and to continue reading.

Things were not as simple as Kuiruo thought. Before the nail could reach him, Plint's body quickly fell at an incredible speed, easily dodging the blow.

"Fuck! Dash Master!"

Mo Rong's eyes widened, and it was not until he saw the man's movement changes that he finally realized Print's identity.

Sprint Master is a talisman in the game that can shorten the sprint time interval of the holder. Not only that, it also provides the holder with a special sprint method, downward dash.

In this case, everything makes sense. No wonder this man's movements are so ghostly, leaving everyone in Mantis Village helpless.

"Master Dash? Do you know him?"

The mantis warrior on the side heard Mo Rong's exclamation and asked hurriedly.

"If he is your friend, no wonder he is like this..."

"Don't get me wrong, I just heard his name and don't know him."

Mo Rong quickly waved his hand to deny.

"Is he famous?"

The Mantis Warrior nodded and looked at Mo Rong in confusion, which made him not know how to answer, so he could only nod slightly.

"Should...should be..."

"Then can you help us solve it?"

Mo Rong was not in a hurry and said with a smile:

"Maybe I should go visit the lords first."

After saying that, he turned around and walked down, followed closely by Quiruo, and soon he arrived in front of the lord's stone chair.

"My lords, we see you again after a long separation, stay safe and sound!"

"Hey, what do you want to get this time?"

When the lords saw that the person coming was Mo Rong, they started laughing.

Morong scratched his head in embarrassment, knowing that the lords were joking on him. After all, he had taken away two very important things from the Mantis clan the last time he came.

"Haha, the lords are joking. I haven't seen the lords for a long time. I miss them so much that I came here to visit them."

Kui Ruo quietly gave him a thumbs up from behind to express his admiration.

It's good to follow Brother Morong. In just half a day, I learned two great principles: pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger and telling lies with open eyes.

He can teach better than his teacher.

"Hmph, I don't think you are as sincere as you say."

Looking at Mo Rong with empty hands, the Mantis Lords curled their lips.

"By the way, who is this person behind you?"

When Quiro heard the lords asking for his name, he hurried forward and saluted:

"I have admired the reputation of all the lords for a long time. This boy's name is Kui Ruo, and he is Mo Rong's friend."

"His teacher is Teacher Monomen. Have the lords heard about it?"

Morong put his hand on Kui Ruo's shoulder and introduced. He originally thought that the lords would be surprised when they heard it, but the reality seemed not to be what he imagined.

"Monomon? One of the Pale King's right-hand men, Hallownest teacher Monomon?"

Another lord asked in a dull voice. The kindness she held disappeared at this moment, and the meaning in her eyes made Mo Rong feel threatened.

"Um, Quiruo, did your teacher have any grudges against the lords before? Why do I feel something is wrong..."

Mo Rong moved towards Kui Ruo. He was afraid that if the Mantis Lords suddenly rioted, he would still be able to protect him.

"No... no, I didn't even hear the teacher say that she had been to Mantis Village..."

Kui Ruo also didn't expect that the lord would have such a reaction after Mo Rong finished speaking.

"Fourth sister, what do you want to do?"

Another lord's words came, causing her expression to freeze.

"Sister, I..."

"That matter has been overturned a long time ago, or are you going to take action against the junior?"

After saying these words, the lord was silent for a moment, then stood up, leaned towards the two of them and apologized, taking back the aura he had just exuded.

"Sorry, I lost my temper, please forgive me."

The two people quickly waved their hands, indicating that they didn't mind.

"Okay, you two came here because of the visitor from the village. Alas, those guys, asking others to help even with this little thing, is really an embarrassment to our clan."

After seeing the lord apologize, the lord on the side who tried to dissuade him smiled slightly.

"Huh~, you scared me."

Mo Rong secretly thought and breathed a sigh of relief. He thought he would have a two-person challenge with Kui Ruo later.

"The lord has a clever plan. We are here to fulfill the mission of the Mantis warrior and stop the person outside. What do you think, lord?"

He planned to come here first to ask the lord and seek their opinions. Murong didn't think that Plint could still jump up and down so lively without the lord's presence.

As Mo Rong expected, the lord shook his head and rejected them.

"I have investigated from a distance. He is not a person with evil intentions. The reason for coming here is probably the same as yours."

"But you are doing it for Mantis Claw, but maybe he is just doing it for the sake of defeat?"

"Furthermore, he never set his sights on the Mantis Claw, and all he took were ordinary things. However, his commotion during this period made me see clearly the shortcomings of some tribesmen."

The lord smiled at the two.

"It's not easy to hire a warrior who can polish the people of your clan. Now that someone is coming to your door, why don't I accept it?"

Murong couldn't help laughing when he heard this. It turned out that the lords had this idea, so he couldn't stop it.

"Understood, then we will leave first."

The two bowed and turned to leave, but Mo Rong's eyes were still shining with anticipation.

If you don’t stop us, let’s discuss it with the head office, right?
