In the deserted dark sewer, some kind of low trembling sound could be heard softly, and it looked full of weakness.
The ferocious-looking snake man leaned powerlessly against the moss-covered stone wall. The scales on his body seemed to have lost their luster, and they were gray and gloomy, without any offensive features.
Although Isaac is the Pope, he is not a noble leader at the level of an urban-rural fringe underground force. He also came from hard times.
At this time, I was quite adaptable.
"Sir, when it gets darker, I will steal some bread and come back. You can rest on your stomach first."
"I want energy! I want energy..."
During the long period of dormancy adaptation, the snake people race has become more adapted to using pure energy to replenish the body's consumption.
"There is no energy... Sir, it's not easy for us to be exposed now. We just need to have some food to cope with it."
"Hiss, hiss..."
If he didn't want to use spiritual power to explore thoughts or directly control the Lord Poppy in the mouths of those Chosen Sons, Apollosus would not be willing to suffer this injustice!
food?
How long ago was that memory?
What a low-level way of absorbing energy that is?
"I don't want food! I want energy!"
"There is no energy...Sir..."
As the night grew darker, Isaac quietly poked his head out of his hiding place.
There was silence all around.
The sewers they chose were originally located near slum neighborhoods.
The people here are not very mobile, and this night it was as quiet as a cemetery.
food!
I'll be spicy!
Fragrant golden bread!
Just thinking about it, Isaac found his saliva stirring wildly in his mouth.
As a fourth-level mage, it is still difficult for people to discover what Isaac wants to do secretly.
Let alone just go to the bakery and steal some bread.
Being cautious along the way, Isaac returned home happily holding a large bag of bread.
Although it has cooled down, the fragrance still lingers in my nose.
As soon as he returned to the sewer entrance where the entrance was hidden, Isaac saw a scene that frightened him.
Under the hazy moonlight, two figures, one tall and one short, stood face to face.
Some kind of silver-white energy channel that could only be seen by him, a fourth-level mage who was watching, was connected to each other between the eyebrows of the two people.
The little girl in ragged clothes looked up at the strange uncle in front of her.
The human uncle transformed by the snake man looked down at the girl with an expressionless face.
Two shadows, one large and one small, fell diagonally at the feet.
The moment he saw this scene, Isaac subconsciously dropped the paper bag containing bread in his hand, called out "Sir" in a low voice, and trotted over quickly.
Raising his hand and slapping him, Isaac wanted to slap the girl on the face and tell her to get out of here.
But he never thought that the uncle transformed by the snake man stretched out his right hand to him without looking at it. Isaac suddenly found that he had lost control of his body and could only freeze in place, watching what happened in front of him.
everything of.
Strands of thought fragments were absorbed by the snake man from the girl's eyebrows. Isaac could even see some remnants of the girl's appearance, and translucent soul fragments like broken glass also poured in from the pale white energy channel.
Snake man's eyebrows.
Spiritual absorption...
Isaac was horrified.
Almost all the humans who were probed by the snake people in this way did not end well.
At worst, he becomes a madman, at worst, his soul disappears.
The snake man's spiritual power was a method he had never seen before.
However, the girl seemed completely unaware of what was happening to her. With a clean smile on her dirty face, she held a piece of cold golden wheat cake and handed it to the snake man.
"Uncle, are you hungry?"
Time passed minute by minute.
Isaac was always ready to see the girl's body lose the support of her soul and fall to the ground.
Unexpectedly, the uncle transformed by the snake man picked up the wheat cake handed over by the girl with his left hand, and said in a low and terrifying tone - "Thank you."
The girl ran away happily.
Only then did Isaac regain control of his body.
"grown ups……"
After looking at the snake man up and down for a few times, Isaac realized that the bread paper bag originally held in his hand had fallen to the ground behind him.
After running back and picking it up, Isaac quickly covered the snake man and returned to the underground waterway where he was hiding.
"grown ups……"
Isaac looked at the snake man in front of him carefully.
The Snake Man's current expression is a bit weird, and the human expression itself cannot fully convey his own thoughts.
Uncle Snake Man held the golden wheat cake in his hand and looked up and down.
After a while, he suddenly took a bite, thinking to himself while eating.
"Human cubs are quite cute, and they don't even have any defense against me..."
【This uncle looks so pitiful~】
"Huh? This pancake seems to be quite delicious."
[Is he hungry? Why don’t you give him something to eat...]
"I didn't expect that after so many years, the food humans eat is quite good."
[Although Illya is also very hungry, uncle probably needs this cake more...]
"I made a decision!"
The snake man suddenly said.
"Ah? Sir?"
Isaac was startled by the sudden excitement of the snake man.
"After our snake empire resumes its rule, we can raise some human cubs as...as...as pets! Yes! Pets!"
Isaac responded with a smile on his face.
"Yeah!"
What you say is what it is.
The prerequisite is that the country can be restored.
"Sir, eat quickly... Once you're full, let's start thinking of ways to find that Poppy tomorrow."
Yes! Poppy!
It's that guy's spell that poses a huge threat to the alchemy golems of their Snake Empire!
We must understand the reason why the Alchemy Golem was restrained!
Thinking of this, the snake man began to bite into the wheat cakes.
After the wheat cake comes the bread.
The esophagus, which had been degenerated for many years, began to work again, and the sleeping taste buds began to distinguish aromas.
Meow meow meow~
What a great time...
The next day, early morning.
What one person and one snake are waiting for is not the morning light, but a quiet discussion.
"According to the clues given by the prophecy spell, the paper bag from the bakery was brought here."
"Look for it, it must be nearby!"
Two people?
After hearing their conversation clearly, Isaac's eyebrows were serious.
"Too careless."
I haven't had any experience as a thief in decades, and I have completely forgotten my past skills. I didn't expect that I just stole some bread last night, and someone came to my door.
This is how to do?
The snake man on the side also woke up from curling up.
A somewhat cold look flashed in the dark vertical pupils.
"I'm going to kill them!"
Snake people are cruel by nature, and they suffered a lot of grievances on the way to the city. If wisdom hadn't suppressed their nature, they would have exploded long ago.
Now this place is in a remote place, and there are two ghosts who came alone to seek death.
It just happened to relieve the depression in my heart.
"grown ups……"
Isaac followed quickly.
…
So one person and one snake looked at each other under the milky white sun.
