Chapter 2 The puppet show

"Why is Medea ignoring me?"

Hidelifa called her for a long time, but she never received any response, which made her mood even worse.

After confirming her bloodline, Robert discussed with William and arranged a room for her in the palace.

This royal palace was built by the Normans on the site of Solomon's Palace, so many places retain the extraordinary features of the Hauteville family. For example, they like to use iron layers indoors instead of wallpaper and floors, because iron is good at heating.

Conductor, if an enemy breaks in, an ice storm can lower the temperature of the entire room to minus 60 or 70, and quickly transmit the temperature to surrounding rooms as a warning.

Of course, being practical is practical, and this dark metal decoration style still looks quite ugly. Compared with her room in Fire Island Manor, the living conditions are completely different.

Sidrifa sat on the stone bench for a while, and suddenly heard a noisy boiling sound coming from outside.

"This is..." She walked out silently and looked at the sky in the distance. Under the dim dusk, the sky outside the city wall was shining with large bright spots, as if brilliant flames were rolling and boiling.

"That's the annual Sicilian Puppet Festival, Miss Hildrifa." The maid passing by answered, "There is a grand puppet show carnival being held outside."

……………………

On the streets of Palermo, the temporary vendor stalls have been removed, and a fleet of countless carriages is parading through the streets. On each carriage is a puppeteer, who controls seven or eight small puppets at the same time. Some

Wearing armor and holding spears, they looked like Norman knights, and some were dressed up and looked like the eldest ladies of local nobles. They interacted vividly in front of the audience on both sides of the road.

"What kind of festival is this?" Ask asked with emotion. In the previous game world, he had heard that Sicily was famous for its exquisite puppet shows, but he didn't know that there was such a festival.

"It should be a traditional festival here in Palermo." Medea looked around and read the thoughts of the people around her. "Well, it seems to be a local carnival performance."

She suddenly felt a subtle sense of uneasiness, and her conspiracy ability began to warn her again, but this time the malice was obviously more profound, and it was completely undisguised, and it suddenly focused on her body.

"Asker! Nearby..." Even if she didn't want to ruin and waste the last few hours of this "temporary boyfriend day", Medea had to bite the bullet and remind Asker under the sudden and malicious threat.

However, before she could utter a few words, her body suddenly became strangely out of control.

"What's wrong?" Ask asked in surprise.

"Nothing." Medea said with a smile.

Her demeanor and movements were normal, but her heart was so anxious that she almost exploded.

what happened!

Why is the body out of control? Could it be a psychic demigod... No!

As we all know, the abilities or laws of the psychic system, when controlling a target, directly act on the target's mental body. In other words, if there is no corresponding psychic resistance, the target will not even realize that it is being controlled.

At this time, Medea only lost control of her body, but her mind was completely normal, and she could even clearly feel that her body was out of control.

This is not the ability of the psychic system, but the possession ability of the spiritual body sequence! Or a more advanced law!

Her head was suddenly turned around under control, and she saw an old man in a robe standing opposite the parade, performing a free puppet show for the children on the roadside.

"...Then the savior met the red witch." The old man manipulated the puppets skillfully and added improvised narration, as if he was performing a drama on the stage. "The red witch said, it's easy for me to help you. I fell in love with a man."

, but he is already married and has a family."

"As long as you put this bottle of love potion into that man's food, he will immediately fall madly in love with me, abandon his wife and children, and kneel down devoutly at the hem of my skirt.

Bian. Once I can successfully obtain him, as a reward, I will help you defeat the evil pagan devil."

"So! So!" The children clapped their hands and screamed, hoping that the savior could get help from the Red Witch, but also afraid that the Savior would actually follow the Red Witch's plan and destroy a happy family for no reason.

"Of course the savior will not succumb to her desires. Although he is in urgent need of the Red Witch's help, he will certainly not do such unscrupulous evil deeds." The old man smiled and continued to operate the puppet show, "So he found a puppet nearby.

Wild boar, feed it the Red Witch’s potion.”

"The magic potion took effect in the wild boar's body. The wild boar immediately started to go into heat and rushed towards the red witch crazily."

"In the end, the red witch was forced by the wild boar to climb up the tree. The wild boar couldn't find a mate, so it could only rub against the tree like crazy. The red witch clung to the swaying tree trunk and desperately begged the savior for help."

"The savior said, then you must swear allegiance to me and never harm that poor man again, and I will help you."

"The red witch had to swear a curse, and the savior shot the wild boar to death. So the red witch was forced to fulfill her promise. When the savior starts to deal with the pagan devil, she will help from the magic plane."

"Okay, great!" the children cheered, obviously very satisfied with the ending.

The atmosphere of the performance there was joyful and lively, but Medea's heart seemed to have fallen to the bottom of an extremely cold lake. She was completely unable to control her body, and could only let the other party drive her fingers, and slowly condensed the liquid from her palm.

A fireball.

Since the completion of her bloodline, she has deliberately stopped using the fire ability of the Purgatory Succubus bloodline. The reason is that after merging with Medusa's personality, Medea has also regained her connection with Purgatory and the super "Fire V" ability.

.

Level V flames cannot be obtained by taking any magic potion, and are far more lethal than level IV flames. If you absorb painful emotions from the surroundings and exchange them with purgatory for a corresponding increase in power, you can even upgrade this flame to the level of law.

level, so it can be used as an excellent trump card for her.

At this time, Medea, although there was no bonus of painful emotions, the majestic heat condensed in the swaying flames in her palms was enough to easily burn the entire street of people. Under the control of the will behind the scenes, she moved with sweetness

He approached Aske with a smile and said:



Before she could press the flames in her palms on Asik's body, Asik suddenly pressed down on his waist with one hand.

He held down a long sword that emerged from the void and was slightly unsheathed, and then pushed it back into the sheath cleanly.

Along with the crisp sound of the sheath being pulled back, everything including the flame in Medea's palm and the extraordinary power that took control of her body seemed to have been cut off by something.

Nine forms of stars. Broken spirit.

"Ask! Across the street!" Medea, who had returned to normal, shouted quickly, but Ask had already grabbed her into the void again.

Laws of War. Plunder.

Across the street, the performance of the old man in robe was coming to an end:

"...Finally, the savior killed the evil pagan devil, defeated all competitors, and successfully married the imperial princess. Our story ends here, of course, their happy life continues.

"

"Hey! Let's talk about one more thing, grandpa!" the children said reluctantly, but the old man had already simply turned around and walked towards the narrow alley next to him.

Asker has plundered the extraordinary power that affected Medea just now. It is not a skill of the spirit sequence, but a "puppet" law skill from the corpse witch bloodline: body manipulation.

This skill has a similar function to the "manipulation" law, but it is relatively lower in the level of idealism - it can only control the body, but cannot affect the mental body.

Therefore, Asker quickly activated the skills he had plundered, controlled a dozen onlookers on the opposite side, and manipulated them to quickly chase the old man who was about to leave.

However, the old man in the robe just waved his hand in the air, and the controlled onlookers immediately broke away from Asker's control, stopped and looked at each other in confusion.

In just a moment, the old man had disappeared at the end of the alley, and the puppets he had controlled before were also jumping on the ground and rushing into the darkness.

There are no thin lines at all on the joints of these puppets' limbs.
