Chapter 196: The Shadow of the Tree (3)
Perhaps in order to give Marin a chance to express himself, the two mentors unanimously chose him to explain to the Silent Hill Bishops.
So Marin explained everything in detail from the time the train stopped at the station to when he said he had climbed onto the city wall. At the same time, he explained the habits of the insects and his suspicions about the ancient tomb.
Instructor Emmet Selke's brother nodded: "We have completely understood the habits of bugs on the first night, but you just came here this morning, and you can understand their habits now, which is very rare.
, maybe this is the reason why you are able to come to the temple area. Old Hoffman from Carter Castle is so lucky, he has an incredible apprentice."
His words attracted unanimous agreement from all the bishops. A dwarf bishop walked two steps forward: "I have heard your story. Old Green Steel Stone has good luck, and I, the Lord of the Dwarf Forge, have good luck."
Believers, in my own name, I offer you my humble respect."
Marin quickly replied: "There, the relationship between me and the dwarves is more about transactions. I can't bear your respect."
"No, my respect comes from my old friend. After his death, you returned his belongings to his children." After speaking, the old dwarf turned to look outside the wall: "That ancient tomb does have
Question, it has been almost ten days since the first day. For several days, none of us dared to sleep. It was not until we later confirmed that the bugs were nocturnal monsters that we finally felt relieved. But that ancient
There are too many bugs in the direction of the tomb. Three days ago, I led my team to take a look, but the bugs fought me back."
After speaking, the dwarf raised his bandaged left hand: "We want to conduct another armed reconnaissance, but there are not enough manpower. We need to protect the temple area. Many civilians who do not appear to be infected have also come in," this
The old dwarf sighed when he said this: "If I don't dedicate my hands to watch these poor innocents, maybe I only need to distort a few bugs to kill them all before we can react."
"The prison is overcrowded now. We put civilians there in units of families, but there are too many people." A tall elf added here and nodded to Marin: "The Church of Justice, from the Clover family
, Welcome to Silent Hill, I'm sorry to let you see the ugliest side of this city."
"I don't blame you. Can you confirm what kind of bug this is?" Instructor Meikel asked: "We have two train apprentices outside the city. If we can't solve them tonight, we must bring them into the temple area.
.”
"My suggestion is to bring them in. It's still early and there are hundreds of apprentices. At least we can have more bandages, potions and healing spells. Let the children do these without any problem." A person looked at it.
When the very fat middle-aged man said this, he smiled and made a sign of the Holy Emblem of the Goddess of Mercy to Merkel: "Good afternoon, my fellow believers, and the two fellow believers from the Church of the Goddess of Harvest."
"Good afternoon, parishioner." Instructor Merkel also gestured back.
Instructor Emmet Selke and Marin also smiled and nodded.
"Three of you, our current problem is the lack of manpower. Some veterans among the civilians have joined the battle. Our muskets can effectively kill bugs, but there are too many of them, and we are losing manpower every day. Today we have less than
There are a thousand combatants. If the insect offensive is still like last night, then tomorrow night maybe we will have to stick to the great church of the Church of Justice." The middle-aged man wearing the plate armor unique to the Church of the God of War sighed:
"The infection situation among civilians in prisons is still a problem. We have no way to deal with the bugs hidden among civilians."
"I have a way, maybe it will work." Marin looked at these old people and said: "I said before that the shock bombs of our Harvest Goddess Church can interfere with or even block the control of the human body by insects."
"But we have at least two thousand civilians, how many shock bombs do you have, kid." Mentor Emmet Selk's brother asked.
"No, we can use magic, sonic magic, to adjust its pronunciation frequency so that it has the same working reason as a shock bomb. As for the flash, we can also use high-frequency flashing light magic in a dark hall.
The same effect." Marin looked at the old people in front of him: "Now we can divide our troops into three groups. You go and screen the civilians, give some people to my two mentors, and ask them to bring all the apprentices into the temple area, and I
, go and take a look at the ancient tomb."
"It's too dangerous! My child! You are joking with your life!" the old dwarf said.
"I am only one person. I am small and can easily be ignored." Marin said as he took two steps back. In everyone's sight, Marin began to become blurred and eventually disappeared into the background.
"Invisibility? I can feel the activation of the spell, but it is definitely not an invisibility spell." The fat man from the Goddess of Mercy turned to look at his companions.
"I don't feel like it, but it doesn't look like sneaking, because there is nowhere to sneak under the sun." The tall elf clapped his hands when he said this: "Suggestion."
"Yes, I know the five-ring technique, learned the sword dance, and my two world branches allow me to quickly climb to the roof and escape." After finishing speaking, Marin reappeared in everyone's eyes.
: "I only have one person, Mr. Dwarf, and you, there may be hundreds of people. Do you think your goal is bigger, or mine?"
"...You have convinced me, what about you." The dwarf turned to look at his companions.
The bishops nodded one after another and then looked at the two mentors.
Merkel turned to look at Instructor Emmet Selke, who looked at Marin: "Marin, you followed me to the Central Bank. Instructor Hoffman agreed to your request, and I have to tell you.
, if you die here, he will definitely skin me and use my head as a toilet."
"Don't worry, for your beautiful hair, I will try my best to come back alive." Marin said with a smile: "Now, let's split up. By the way, do you have any communication equipment?"
"I almost forgot if you didn't tell me, come on, dwarf technology." The dwarf who had never spoken suddenly spoke. He threw a stone to Marin: "It will definitely not explode."
"Uh...how do I use it?" Marin glanced at the stone and felt that it really had nothing to do with technology.
But considering that this is about his own life, Marin must ask how this thing is started.
"Pour in psychic energy, and then think about what you want to say in your mind. We will be able to receive the message here, and then we will repeat this operation so that you can know what we said." At this point, the dwarf's face was full of smiles.
Pride: "Mr. Marin, our dwarf craftsman god welcomes pioneers in engineering and technology like you. Maybe we will have many topics and can chat very happily, forgetting those dwarves whose brains are squeezed into a ball by muscles.
Bar."
"You are the only one who talks too much!" the dwarf cursed.
"I'm leaving first." Feeling that if he didn't leave, the dwarf and the dwarf might start fighting, Marin could only smile and nodded, and then signaled that he was leaving.
"Have a safe journey, kid." Mentor Emmet Selk's brother smiled at Marin and made a holy symbol gesture on his chest.
Marin returned the gesture in anticipation, and then out of curiosity that a child should have, he asked: "By the way, I don't know your name yet."
"La Habrea," the old man replied with a smile.
Hey, you really call it this.
…[Biquge www.sbiquge.co]…………
Tell everyone that Marin was lowered down the city wall in a hanging basket, holding a map that you had redrawn for him. Marin did not go into the alley, but followed the avenue to the corner. Looking at the insects down the slope, Ma Lin
Lin threw out the twigs of the World Tree, and the transformed Feo finally caught the upper bulge, and then pulled his master to the upper street.
This is really convenient, isn't it?
With such a happy thought, Marin kicked a corpse away and confirmed the cause of his death. He found that this guy had wounds from his limbs on his chest. Based on the equipment on his body, he should have followed the old dwarf to the ancient tomb.
A member of the commando team, after the operation failed, he failed to escape and eventually died here.
What a poor guy.
With such regret and regret, Marin closed his eyes, and at the same time opened the crossbow bag on his waist, took out the remaining three crossbow arrows and put them into his crossbow bag, and fired from the other side of his waist.
He took off a crossbow and hung it on his waist.
Then he thought about it, and finally took out two coins from his pocket and placed them above his two eye sockets.
This is the small tribute that the dead of Sidney United deserve.
Standing up, Marin began to move forward carefully. The corpses along the way were like beacons guiding Marin. After walking for a while, Marin saw a burned-out neighborhood.
This should be what the bishops said, the streets that were set alight to prevent the bugs from chasing. In this street, there were a large number of burned bugs. Marin did not touch them, but walked around these corpses -
The carapace of burned bugs will become brittle accordingly, and Marin doesn't want to attract a large number of bugs by stepping on or touching something.
Moving along the edge of the street and passing through the burned area, the number of insects began to gradually increase, which forced Marin to be more careful.
At the same time, he also witnessed a new species - unlike bugs that were similar to humans, the new species of bugs had completely changed into the shape of bugs. Compound eyes and limbs could be confirmed, which meant that there was something more to the bugs that Marin had seen before.
Such a change, Marin doesn't even know if this will be the final change.
But... maybe this is the final change.
