"You're kidding." When she saw Albert holding up the kitten, Nina rolled her eyes at Albert in annoyance.
"Look carefully." Albert held the kitten in front of Nina again and squeezed the cat's face. Mutt then moved his little paws back and forth resentfully, trying to scratch Albert's arm, each time
The movements are full of wildness.
"Brother Mutt really turned into a cat?" Nina looked at the tiger striped kitten in disbelief: "But...why? How could it happen?"
"If you ask me, I don't know." Albert groaned. Because Mutt was struggling so hard, Albert simply put the tiger-striped kitten on the ground and let it move freely: "It's still the same at noon.
It's normal, but suddenly it turns into a cat."
"Wait a minute." Nina frowned and put her hand on Mutt's cat's head, as if she wanted to communicate with Mutt.
The rabbit people have the ability to communicate with animals and monsters. Maybe Nina knows Mutt's current state better than Albert.
However, after half a second, the black bunny girl shook her head in disappointment: "No. Brother Mutt's consciousness is completely asleep. The consciousness that controls the body is the consciousness of an ordinary kitten. He is really just a small animal."
"There's no way to awaken his true consciousness, meow?" Albert asked. He originally had high hopes for Nina.
"No." Nina sighed: "I just called him, but there was no response. It seems that for some reason, the consciousness of the main body fell into a deep sleep. Could it be that------"
Nina lowered her voice to the lowest level, and only Albert and Castro could hear it: "Is it the influence of the [Holy Grail fragment]?"
"The White Dragon God who guarded Melson Stone [Guardian Tower] was defeated by the two of you, right?" Nina replied: "For this reason, you should also know about the White Dragon God.
What is it guarding? Yes, it is one of the fragments of the [Holy Grail Overflowing with Hope], and it is also a cursed treasure."
"Cursed...?"
"Generation after generation, the Holy Grail fragments will continue to choose new guardians. The person chosen as the guardian will gain huge power and be able to live forever, but at the same time, the spirit will continue to be corroded by the fragments and eventually go crazy." Nina sighed.
: "You and Brother Mutt defeated the Crystal White Dragon God together. And the fragments of the Holy Grail were also recovered by the Knights of Great Britain. I don't know what the final result will be, or who the fragments chose to be the guardians."
"Wait a minute. The guardian was automatically selected by the Holy Grail fragment? There is no way to change it?" Albert heard this with chills: "And Great Britain has already taken the fragment away, right? It's far away from here, so it shouldn't be interested in Mu."
Will it have more impact?"
"Naive." Nina sneered: "The fragment chooses a guardian unreasonably. It is an artifact that can affect the entire world. Do you think this distance can stop the fragment from affecting its guardian?"
Albert was silent for a while.
"Is Brother Mutt acting weird lately? He keeps doing things that he wouldn't normally do?" Nina asked.
Of course it was strange. Albert groaned in his heart. At first, he thought that Mutt was hit hard by the death of his father Sphinx, which was why he was acting so abnormally. But now that he thought about it, it might have been a long time ago.
More complicated than imagined.
"Forget it. There's no point in delving into the reasons. You might as well tell me how to solve this problem."
"It cannot be solved. The guardian chosen by the Holy Grail fragment cannot be changed. Once chosen, it will be a lifelong responsibility until the guardian dies. And the guardian can only be killed and cannot age and die in a natural state." Nina shook her head.
Said: "You have also seen the crystallized White Dragon God entrenched in the Guardian Tower. Guess how many years he has lived in that crazy state?"
Albert pulled a long face.
"So, no matter what I do, I can't save Mutt? He will always stay like this and never change again?"
"No. It will become like this. I guess it is because his mental burden has exceeded the limit he can bear. I don't know what you have done before this, but it is obvious that he is abusing the power from the Holy Grail.
That kind of unknown power cannot be used as expected." The black rabbit girl sighed: "Now he is letting his consciousness fall into a complete sleep in order to recover his mental power, which once dropped below the danger line. Maybe don't worry about him for the time being.
It would be better if he continues to sleep like this."
"I understand." The tiger man youth took out Mutt's crystal stabbing sword. At this time, he had carefully wrapped the stabbing sword heavily with a bandage that sealed the magic power: "Can I leave Mutt to your care temporarily? Meow? This
Give it to you too. My intuition tells me that I must keep it with Mutt. But I always feel that something very bad will happen if Mutt touches this weapon."
"I will pay attention." Nina took the sealed crystal sword.
"Then------" the tiger man young man turned to look at Castro: "When is tonight's [Great Hunting Festival] scheduled to start? Lviv has become like this, how can it still be normal?
The Earth Begins [Great Hunting Festival] Meow?"
"The surface of Lviv is a disaster, and all the Warcraft on land are probably inaccessible." Castro replied: "But we still have to be careful of those Warcraft that have the ability to fly and those that are heat-resistant."
Not to mention the magical beasts with the ability to fly, they will choose to attack the central temple of Lviv from the air. And the high-heat fluid spreading in Lviv City is not actually lava. The land-based magical beasts with heat resistance are probably
There is also a way to resist the high temperature of the fluid and approach the central temple step by step.
The situation is not much more optimistic than the previous nights. On the contrary, because the hunters' actions have been restricted, tonight's city defense battle will be more difficult.
"But you don't have to worry." The vice president of the hunter organization continued: "Because it is too hot, the president has not been able to fall asleep yet, and it will probably be some time before he falls asleep. Before that, you have a good rest.
Get ready for battle."
"Even if you want me to rest..." Albert was indeed very sleepy, but he glanced around and saw the orcs lying around listlessly due to the sweltering heat. He asked Albert to go back to the shelter.
Resting in a stone room is probably in the same state. Is it really possible to sleep in such a hot weather?
"We have prepared some things in your room that may be useful." Castro said: "Then you just adapt to the situation."
What are you talking about? Albert groaned in his heart, then said goodbye to Castro and others, and went back to his room to rest. He had thought about just stripping off and lying down in the hall just now and trying to sleep.
But after all, there are so many people there and the noise is probably more unbearable than the heat.
Pushing open the door of his exclusive refuge stone room, what Albert saw was------
A waterbed?
"You didn't expect that?" Castro's voice even clearly appeared in Tiger's mind. It should not be telepathy, but Albert's previous memory.
The first rule of a hunter is to adapt to local conditions. In order to gain an advantage in hunting, use all the environmental resources that you can use.
Just like this. They actually hollowed out the hard stone bed in the stone room of the shelter, filled it with waterproof resin, and then filled the hollowed area with water to make such a "water bed" for Albert. It was almost
It is already a simple bathtub. Lying in it can naturally reduce the heat to some extent.
Moreover, Albert can use the Holy Spirit White Tiger to attract seawater from the deep sea of the Mediterranean Sea, so there is no need to worry about water resources.
"Okay." Albert, who was so sleepy that his eyelids almost collapsed, was too lazy to care too much. He closed the door and closed it. Although the environment became quieter, the sultry heat in the air also increased immediately with the closing of the door.
It showed. The tiger man youth took off his pants and lay down on the water bed.
But this...can only be considered warm water?
Albert wondered for half a second. However, he was smart and immediately took out the frozen rosin, activated its magic with a small dagger, and created frost in the water bed. The original stuffy heat in the room was instantly offset by the cold, although the chill was probably
It can only last for a few dozen minutes.
No matter what. Already too sleepy to open his eyes, Albert lay in the comfortable cold water and began to take a nap. He originally had a lot of questions to ask Castro and others, but now his top priority is
The thing is to rest. Whether it is using the Holy Spirit White Tiger, using miracles such as [Clone Technique] and [Divine Invisibility], they all require huge concentration (mental power) to activate. If Albert does not have enough mental power, today
The late battle will probably be very hard.
Is the state of the old mountain turtle really normal? Is it really dead? But why does lava continue to flow out after death, affecting the entire Lviv? The battle that entered the body of the old mountain turtle last night, Albert
He only remembered half of it. He had no memory of what happened after that, and that part of the memory became blank. When he woke up again, he was already on the way back to Cairo.
It seemed that something important had been forgotten. But what exactly was it? He vaguely remembered that when he broke into the body of Laoshan Turtle and tried to destroy the monster from the inside, he seemed to see something inside the monster.
Within a monster, another monster.
...Was that thing really defeated by Albert?
As his mind became groggy and he was thinking wildly, Albert became more and more sleepy, and finally fell into a deep sleep.
At this time, two figures also walked past the door. Albert, who was sleeping deeply, naturally did not hear the footsteps.
"How long will he last like this?" one of them asked.
"There is still some time before complete [transformation]." Another person replied: "[Sotnes]'s actions are completely unpredictable, and we can only adjust our plans based on his actions."
"...If he gets in the way of the plan?"
"Don't worry, he can't hinder it." The mysterious man laughed and said:
"Everything is a predetermined fate and will proceed according to the [script] written by the forces of the abyss. Even [Sotnis] is extremely limited in what he can interfere with.
------The power of one person alone cannot change the world." (To be continued)
