Chapter 2953 The morning that will never return (twenty-eight)
Seeing the strange scene in front of them, everyone realized the seriousness of the matter.
Hal is not just trapped in a puppet suit. His body may be trapped in some kind of alien space, and this puppet suit is just a "shell" that maintains that alien space.
Even if the zipper on the back of the puppet suit is opened, Hal cannot be taken out. From this perspective, the leopard boy trapped in a different space is completely in the state of an untouchable spirit body.
"What's going on?" Bedivere groaned, "It was obviously normal before. Why did it suddenly become like this?"
"...The erosion of the Holy Grail fragments, meow." Seglade whispered: "His Majesty King Arthur mentioned to us before, Hal is very likely to be affected by the Holy Grail fragments, meow. I didn't expect what was coming to come, meow."
."
"Fragments of the Holy Grail...?"
"In the incident we encountered before, it seemed that Hal touched the Holy Grail fragment in the end... and then something went wrong." Saifei also said: "In short, this situation is not good, so we should contact Great Britain first.
, let’s see how to solve it, meow.”
"Okay," Bedivere quickly walked away, planning to call the British battleship to inquire about the situation.
"A mutation caused by the fragments of the Holy Grail?" The person responsible for handling this contact was the Knight of the Round Table Kador: "Wait a minute, is this a military encrypted line?...Okay, the encryption protocol is normal...I don't know what you are talking about.
I understand, I can’t answer you directly."
"Can you contact His Majesty King Arthur or Prime Minister Merlin for me?" Bedivere said hurriedly: "I know I shouldn't disturb them in the middle of the night, but our little Hal here changed into... because of this fragment of the Holy Grail..."
Well, it looks very strange, the situation is very urgent."
"Your Majesty, he went to Lviv, but there has been no response." Kador said: "But the warship over there should have long-distance communication capabilities. Do you want to try to help you pick it up?"
"Please," Bedivere said.
"Wait a few minutes." Cador hung up the communicator and started wiring.
As for Bedivere, Kate had just finished using the bathroom and heard the commotion in the common room, so she ran over to join in the fun: "What's going on?"
"Go, go, kid, don't come and join in the fun." Bereld was afraid that Kate would see Hal's appearance, and wanted to drive Kate away.
But the kid was sneaking around, and nimbly came to Hal in a puppet suit: "Wow, this is the mascot? So cute."
Hal hummed: "Not cute at all, meow."
"Is that Hal inside? Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha how did you get this funny set of puppets? Isn't it stuck in it and can't get out?"
"Uh..." Hal was stunned for a while, not knowing how to answer.
"Could it be that he suddenly became like this and can't change back?" Kate changed the topic as if she knew something.
Saifer and Seglade looked at each other. They originally wanted to drive Kate away to prevent that kid from causing trouble. But they vaguely noticed something from Kate's reaction, so they asked in unison: "So, can you change meow back?"
?"
"If it can become like this, of course it can also change back." Kate said casually: "Don't be nervous, Hal. Lie down on the sofa over there, and take a deep breath."
"What are you doing?" Bedivere was still waiting for King Arthur's reply. When he saw Kate directing Hal to do this and that, he couldn't help but complain.
"Help him change back, of course." Kate asked Hal, who was wearing a puppet suit, to lie down flat, and then reached out to touch Hal's head - or the puppet's hood.
"You can recover just by touching your head? Don't be kidding me -" Bedivere continued to complain.
"How is it?" Kate ignored Bedivere's complaints and continued to rub the puppet's forehead: "Have you relaxed?"
"Hmm..." Hal hummed. What was being touched was obviously the hood of a puppet. He obviously shouldn't feel the touch when his head was touched, but he felt inexplicably relieved and closed his eyes.
.
Then gradually, the puppet suit began to emit smoke, as if water vapor was evaporating from it. The puppet suit itself was also shrinking, becoming translucent and disappearing, while the inside of the puppet suit
Hal's body continued to change from transparent to opaque, and he finally transformed back into the appearance of the Leopard Man boy.
"Uh, I've recovered, meow." Saifei said incredulously.
"It's unbelievable," Bereld also said.
"What's the point of this, meow?" Seglade snorted.
"Kate..." Bedivere walked up to the human boy: "You know something, right?"
"There's nothing you don't know. I've done this before," Kate said nonchalantly, sticking out her tongue. "Don't children all have this stage? Occasionally they turn into monsters or something."
(would not!)
"I was so miserable before. I turned into a monster in front of my mother and her boyfriend, which scared them." Kate said: "Then I was also scared and ran away. Finally, I fled to the sewer in a daze.
I met my grandfather there. It was my grandfather who taught me how to change back."
Bedivere was stunned for several seconds.
The "grandfather" Kate refers to naturally refers to Joseph Pantoracon, the swordsman and the grandfather of King Arthur of Great Britain.
About half a month ago, Bedivere and King Arthur went to Pretoria, the capital of the Republic of Saints in South Africa, originally intending to hunt down another treasonous sword master, Lancelot's father, the sword master Jacques.
But they didn't expect that what they saw underground in Pretoria, in the Rotten Swamp District, was actually the Sword Saint Joseph.
King Arthur repelled the sword master Joseph, but failed to capture him. Kate, who was left behind by Joseph, was sent to the Dawn of Bedivere to take care of him. Of course, the so-called "care" also has a purpose.
It's called "Taking Care of", but it's actually mainly hoping to get information about the Sword Saint Joseph from Kate's daily life.
Kate was given a command spell by Sword Master Joseph, and she was originally unable to reveal any information about Sword Master Joseph. However, the control ability of the command spell is limited, and sometimes Kate would accidentally spill the beans in her daily life - for example, in
Now on this occasion, he accidentally mentioned his grandfather.
"But how did your grandfather know that you were not a monster but a human being? What did he do? Can you change back from the monster state just by letting you relax?" Bedivere asked.
"Yeah." Kate covered her head: "I'm sorry... I can't remember clearly."
The command spell engraved in his mind was taking effect, and this part of the memory was obviously blocked by the spell. Bedivere knew that he should not ask this question deliberately. The more he asked, the easier it would be for the command spell to come out.
Take effect.
"Then forget it." Bedivere gave up asking: "When you can remember, let's talk about it."
In fact, Bediwell is more concerned about Kate's life experience than Kate's "grandfather" Sword Saint Joseph. The child said that he can also become a monster, and ran away from home because he scared his mother. In other words, he can also become a monster.
, Kate also has a "home" that she can go back to, right?
"By the way, have you ever thought about going back to find your mother, Kate?" Bedivere asked again.
"No. It's better not to go back." The young man replied: "If I go back, it will only hinder my mother and her new boyfriend. And this ship is quite nice. There are all kinds of strange people on the ship, including wolves."
There are uncles here, including a troll pretending to be a doctor, a metal skeleton uncle who looks scary but is actually not that scary, and a bald uncle——"
"You are bald." Gladiator Bereld interrupted.
"Huhuhu." Kate rubbed her nose: "Anyway, I feel quite comfortable on this boat. I won't be bored at all with you weirdos."
Bedivere blinked: "If you think this is good, then so be it."
"Haha——" Overly excited due to the commotion at night, Hal's matter was finally solved for the time being, and the leopard boy yawned. His yawn was contagious, and his two brothers also yawned involuntarily.
"The problem is solved, it's time for you to go to sleep, meow." Saifer picked up his brother and said, "If you have anything else, let's wait until tomorrow."
"Well, well..." The leopard boy was so sleepy that he kept rubbing his eyes. His brothers sent him back to his room.
At this time, King Arthur's voice came from the communicator: "Is it Bedivere? I just want to see you for something."
"Me too," the werewolf young man picked up the phone, "but the matter on my side has been resolved, so it's not so urgent for the time being. Is there anything you can do over there?"
"Ah, I am moving from Lviv to the Romani territory. Something strange happened in Lviv. About 20,000 people from my fleet and the orc coalition in Lviv were kidnapped."
"Kidnapping?"
"The situation is very complicated. We will explain everything when we meet. Now we are tracing the source of this matter and hope to rescue the kidnapped people." The King of Knights continued: "I should have asked Great Britain for support, but Great Britain
The fleet crossing half of Europe to rescue people in the middle of the night will definitely stimulate the European countries. By then it will not only be an issue between Great Britain and the Dawn Region, but a major issue in international relations."
Indeed. Bediwell thought to himself. In order for the fleet to pass through the airspace of European countries, a notification must be issued first, and it must be approved by the top military leaders of each country before it can be finally implemented. This is definitely not something that can be completed in an instant, and wait
The group of bureaucrats slowly completed the approval process, and the kidnapped people were probably already out of breath.
"So you want my Dawn to rush over and help." Bedivere replied: "Sail from the Red Sea and the Mediterranean, try to choose a route that does not irritate various countries, and reach the Romani territory."
"Yes. And the Dawn's stealth system can do this easily." The knight said.
Indeed, even if King Arthur did not mention it, Bedivere would hardly remember this happening. When the Dawn was given to Bedivere as a refurbished sand ship [Desert Ship], the Knights of Great Britain did indeed paint the surface of the ship.
A special invisible coating. It is this coating that changes the ship from its original rich gold color to a low-key silver. After the coating is energized, the ship can enter a stealth state, which can avoid tracking by various photon radars and even
Use a device similar to optical camouflage to hide yourself so that no one can see it from a distance.
Great Britain sent this stealth coating to the Dawn, maybe it had some deep meaning from the beginning.
"Okay. Let Dawn separate into the combat module, and it will become a high-speed small assault ship. It should be able to rush to the Romani territory at the fastest speed and in a low-key manner." Bediwell said: "But Dawn
The ship is not equipped with any decent weapons. I don’t know how much I can help you."
"Weapons are not necessary. This is not a combat operation, but a search and rescue operation." The King of Knights said: "I didn't expect the Dawn to fight, but its transmission beam can definitely be of some use. The battleship anchored in the Red Sea [
The Paramedis will also come, but that ship has neither a transmission beam nor a high-power thruster, so it is probably one step behind the Dawn. The only one I can rely on now is your ship."
"I understand. Send me the coordinates and I'll come right away." Bediwell cut off the communication.
"Is there anyone willing to go to the Dawn Region with me to save people?" the werewolf young man asked instead.
