Chapter 3333 The Trial of the Great Fool (One Hundred and Thirty Six)
"Dan, Mr. Daniel!" Seeing Daniel's appearance, Elaine showed a happy expression: "You, why are you here?"
"I am planning to come over to visit you and explain some things. But -" Daniel turned to look at the tied and unconscious blood lion again: "Is this your companion? Why are you tied up?"
"He was controlled by the defense system of Atlantis." Bailey explained, as if he felt that Elaine couldn't explain the matter clearly, so he explained on his behalf: "Uncle Edmund tried to use his transformation ability.
He turned into a monster in the underground labyrinth of Atlantis. But the monster he turned into was also controlled by the system, and then he was also controlled."
"Really? What a disaster." Daniel noticed the faint bruises on Elaine's neck, which looked like she had been attacked by the blood lion.
"But then again...you have already entered the underground city of Atlantis? How did you come back after entering?" he asked curiously.
"That, that." Elaine pointed to the transmission device on the side.
"There is such advanced equipment." Daniel was no stranger to the teleportation device, because the previous exploration team of Dragon Continent also brought a similar device. This device seemed to be able to open the teleportation door point-to-point, allowing the explorers to safely
The ground travels between two locations.
(Actually, the signal interference in Dragon Continent is very serious, and the practicality of the transmission device is questionable. The exploration team only brought it for testing.)
By the way...blood lion?
Daniel's eyes fell on the unconscious and tied young lion man.
Although Daniel had met Edmund before, Daniel didn't pay much attention to Edmund's coat color at that time. He thought that coat color was very common among lions.
However, after listening to Uncle Petrus's description, Daniel looked at Edmund again and found that the color of the blood lion's coat was really not simple.
The blood red color is really the same as blood. This is probably a very rare coat color among lions. Then the imaginary picture suddenly appeared - the young blood lion who was a slave ten years ago, on a moonlit night
He was playing the harmonica.
However, there are not so many coincidences in the world. It's just that the coat colors are similar, which doesn't mean anything.
Daniel originally wanted to tell Elaine the clues about the harmonica. But when he saw the blood lion Edmund, he decided to wait and see for a while. If Edmund was really the slave who played the harmonica, wouldn't he have a lot
A past that you don’t want people to know? It wouldn’t be good if Daniel exposed this, right?
"By the way, by the way, have you found out what I asked you to investigate before?" Elaine saw Daniel in a daze and asked proactively. The white lion boy seemed to be aware of Daniel's true purpose of coming here, so he asked this question
.
"Uh, well, not yet." Daniel hid his real purpose and wanted to wait and see what happens: "Petrus is still investigating, we need a little more time."
"Okay, okay." Elaine was a little disappointed.
"Have you had breakfast?" Queeg asked. Leopard was cooking fish soup nearby. It was filled with various fresh spices, and the fish soup had a particularly attractive pepper aroma.
Daniel woke up in a hurry early in the morning, and indeed he hadn't eaten breakfast yet. His stomach was beating involuntarily.
"I'm not welcome." He replied with a red face. He was originally here to help, but instead he came to help, which was a bit embarrassing.
"You've cooked a lot, feel free to eat it." Queeg smiled and put a bowl of soup in front of Daniel.
The boy from the Silver Knight held it up and drank it slowly. The fish soup was extremely fresh and sweet, and was especially delicious when seasoned with various spices. The slight spiciness of the pepper completely covered up the fishy smell. The taste of the fish soup was integrated and delicious.
incredible.
"It's delicious." Daniel said, "Mr. Quigg's cooking skills have improved again."
"Hey." Leopard grinned.
"Where did this fish come from?" Daniel remembered that the sea area outside the city was guarded by dangerous sea monsters. It was impossible to fish in that kind of place, right?
"The one on the first floor underground, piranha." The leopard replied matter-of-factly.
"Poof -" Elaine, who was drinking fish soup at the side, spat out: "You, what did you do? Piranha?!"
"That, you can eat it." Quigg tilted his head and asked Elaine, "Can't you eat it?"
"No, yes, yes, yes, but that's a piranha..." Elaine muttered: "Yes, if the piranha grew up eating someone's meat, then if we eat piranhas, wouldn't we be eating the same thing as us?"
.Does it feel similar to people?"
"Besides you, has anyone visited Atlantis recently?" Out of curiosity, Daniel asked one more question.
Elaine thought for a moment: "Well, no, no."
After all, there are no treasures in this ghost place, and it is full of death risks. Only fools would come to try it. In ancient times, some Vikings may have believed that the interior of Atlantis was the legendary golden land, but modern people don’t
Stupid, no one will believe that kind of baseless legend. In fact, the Viking exile village that settled on the opposite coast has no interest in this ancient city, and even avoids it very much? In the near future, doesn’t it?
The only people who would come to Atlantis are probably Elaine.
"It's so strange..." Daniel then said: "This piranha is quite fat. If they weren't fed human flesh, where did these creatures get the food to become so fat?"
"Yes, the system will feed them food?"
"What does the system refer to, the defense system of Atlantis?"
The white lion boy nodded.
"Indeed, this is more credible. But where does the bait produced by the system come from?"
"Uh, air and water?" Elaine replied matter-of-factly. Because most of the food on the Dawn was synthesized by Eve using air and seawater, he naturally believed that ancient people had this technology, and Atlantis
Naturally, this kind of ancient city also has this kind of technology.
"Okay. It's really advanced technology." Daniel touched his chin: "So since these piranhas eat food made of air and water and have never eaten human flesh, there is no problem for us to eat them, right?"
Elaine was stunned for a moment.
"Say, I can't speak to you..." The white lion boy then picked up the fish soup and took another sip, this time he didn't show so much disgust.
"Hmm..." At this time, the blood lion Edmund also began to wake up, struggling to get up, but he was tied up with big flowers, making it difficult to move.
"Eh, Edmund, are you still yourself?" Elaine asked tremblingly, really worried that Edmund would suddenly turn into a monster and attack them.
"Well... I am me." Edmund groaned: "The system is not controlling me now. Just in case, can you take out the bottles containing blood samples from my storage pocket? The blood samples in them
...Any red bottle is fine, give it to me."
"The red ones are people, human blood samples?"
Edmund nodded: "As long as you don't turn into a monster in this maze, you won't be easily affected by the system. So, it's best to change into another human being."
Elaine rummaged through Edmund's luggage and quickly found a long belt containing dozens of small glass bottles, several of which were red blood samples. He took out one of the bottles and fed it to
The blood lion drank it.
"Hmm..." Edmund groaned and began to transform to confirm.
Then he turned into a human woman. Elaine recognized this face as Danglars, the lord of Montpellier.
"You can also turn into a woman?" Daniel was dumbfounded: "The transformation ability of lions is really omnipotent."
"No, no, this is an ability that Edmund only has. Other lions don't have it." Elaine explained: "Edmund, you, you are completely out of the system's control now, right? I want to unlock you."
The rope?"
"...No." The blood lion thought for a while: "It's better to tie me up first, just in case. I don't want to go crazy again and endanger you, Your Highness."
"No, doesn't it mean that the system has no effect on you?"
"For the time being. But I'm not sure what that system did to me." Edmund recalled: "When I transformed into an Ice-Feathered Serpent, there was a voice that kept affecting my mind and giving me instructions.
The command was like it was constantly brainwashing me. If it were an ordinary Warcraft, it would have been controlled by that voice immediately and turned into its puppet. I have my own consciousness and constantly resisted its brainwashing.
However, the transformation took too long, and he was eventually tricked.
Now that voice is no longer there. I feel like I am still myself. But God knows whether the impact it caused will last."
"Will that effect persist?"
"It's not impossible. I was once a slave. Slave owners used spells to control their slaves and make them do things against their will. I have seen this too many times. Even if some slaves get rid of their status as slaves, they still bear the curse.
The spell may affect their lives. The effect of brainwashing and spells is very similar. I'm not sure how much harm it can cause. Now I just use human reason to resist its influence.
It means it has no impact at all."
"Were you once a slave?" Daniel asked curiously.
"Yes. This is not a glorious thing. I didn't want to mention it. But most of the lions became slaves after the country fell. This is normal." Edmund turned his eyes and looked at Daniel: "I am a slave.
Is it inappropriate?"
"No, no..." Daniel originally wanted to ask Edmund if he could play the mouth organ. But he thought that the time might not be good now, so he put the question aside for now.
"So, you want to continue being tied up?" Elaine felt that the conversation between the two was a bit awkward, and immediately looked in the direction of the soup pot and interrupted: "You don't want breakfast?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't eat." Edmund whispered.
"How long do you want to be tied up? Don't you want to eat lunch or dinner?" Elaine continued to ask.
Then Edmund realized that it was really not the way to go on like this, and showed an embarrassed expression: "Anyway, let's just wait and see what happens."
"Shall I feed you?" Elaine smiled bitterly: "You, if you don't eat all the time, your body will collapse."
"No. How can I ask His Highness to feed me?"
"I'll do it?" Queeg said suddenly, holding a bowl of soup and approaching Edmund.
"No!" Edmund said angrily.
"Don't make trouble, be good~" Queeg said jokingly, sitting next to Edmund, already scooping a mouthful of soup with a spoon and stuffing it into Edmund's mouth.
"It's really not necessary. How can you--"
Gu~~~
Before Edmund could finish speaking, his stomach rumbled. It was obvious that he would be hungry after experiencing such a fierce battle this morning. Even if he said he was not hungry, his body was very honest.
Edmund blushed: "Just, just eat a little."
"Understood, take your time, ah~" Queeg smiled evilly and stuffed the spoon into Edmund's mouth.
(Like feeding a child...)
(But Edmund himself doesn’t want to be loosened, and he still has people feed him. Isn’t it also very...)
Elaine turned his face away, trying his best to hold back his laughter. But he couldn't hold it back at all, showing a distorted expression that showed that he had struggled to hold back his laughter.
"What are you going to do after breakfast? Are you going to challenge the dungeons of Atlantis?" Daniel asked: "I don't have any duties today, so I can stay with you all day. Do you want me to help?"
"You, can you come and help?" Elaine asked doubtfully, "The underground city is very dangerous."
"I know. I don't intend to risk my life just to help you. When it is really dangerous, I will give priority to retreat and save my own life." Daniel said: "As long as this is met, I will help.
,May I?"
"Yes, you can." The white lion boy finished the soup: "Then, let's do it. Anyway, there is no battle on the next level."
"Huh? No fighting?"
"The fourth underground floor is the database, there are no enemies." Elaine shrugged: "No, I don't know why, it's like this anyway."
"Then I should go and broaden my horizons." Daniel also quickly finished the soup and stood up to stretch his body.
"If there is no fighting, is it okay if I don't go?" Edmund asked.
"You, you and Queeg can stay here." Elaine almost laughed again when she saw Edmund being fed by Queeg.
