Chapter 544 Mist and Shadow

"call…………………"

After dinner, Duanmu Huai also leaned on the chair and let out a sigh of relief.

"Lord Knight, haven't you found the devil dog yet?"

At this time Lorena also came over and asked curiously.

"It escaped. After all, this kind of sit-and-wait game is really not suitable for me. I hate hide-and-seek the most."

Duanmu Huai waved his hands boredly, looking speechless.

"It's not going to attack other people in town."

"It's hard to say... Having said that, even why it targets the Baskervilles is actually a mystery."

Fairy tales are fairy tales after all. In the final analysis, only the ancestor at that time knows what the situation was. Although some players will use magic such as necromancy to summon souls to ask about the situation, it is a pity that Duanmu Huai does not

Ability and skills in this area - he is the God of Destruction after all.

As for crushing souls into pieces, that's what he's good at.

"How's it going over there, Baroness?"

"Her mood has barely improved recently, but her health is not very good...well, how should I put it..."

After saying this, Lorena pondered for a moment.

"As far as I can tell, the Baroness may have a child."

"Oh? Really, have you asked her to see a doctor?"

"She seemed to know it well. She originally planned to wait until after Christmas to ask a doctor to take a look, but in my opinion it should be about the same. After all, as priests, we also have to be responsible for some things in this area. Her situation is the same as mine.

Very similar to the ladies I saw in church."

"Then you have to keep an eye on her. I think the dog might be staring at this and not leaving."

At least for now, everyone in the Baskerville family has been attacked by the devil dog. Although Baroness Baskerville married into the Baskerville family, strictly speaking, she has no blood relationship with the Baskerville family. But if

If she had a Baskerville child, that was another matter.

"Okay, I understand, Lord Knight."

Lorena also nodded seriously.

"Then I'll go out for a spin again."

After dinner, Duanmu Huai felt that he was a little bored, so he stood up and stretched.

"Are you going out at this time?"

"As you said, maybe that guy will attack the residents of the town. You just need to protect the ladies here. I'll go around the town."

Duanmu Huai was not talking nonsense. In fact, he finally followed the monster's trail and found it at the foot of the mountain before disappearing. In other words, the monster probably sneaked into the town. Of course, it would have been normal or nothing, but

It was injured by Duanmuhuai before, and injured animals are very dangerous. Although today is Christmas and most people are at home at this time, Duanmuhuai still plans to go and have a look to be on the safe side.

Duanmuhuai walked out of the restaurant and came to the entrance. Just when he was about to go out, he saw Mary walking over.

"Hey? Mr. Duanmu, where are you going so late?"

"I'm going to take a walk around the town and do some patrolling."

"Can I come too?"

After hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary's eyes suddenly lit up and she hurriedly asked.

"You? Don't you chat with your friends?"

"Ahahaha...this..."

Hearing this, Mary couldn't help but reveal a wry smile. This is why she wanted to go out with Duanmuhuai. In fact, Ashelika and Charlie have been questioning their relationship with Mr. Duanmuhuai. Obviously

Mary felt that there was nothing between herself and Duanmu Huai, but they all seemed to believe that there must be some secret between the two - there must be a secret, but I can't tell you.

You can't bring up what happened in Antarctica with Charlie, and what other ancient beings, shoggoths, monsters, etc...

As a result, the more Mary concealed it, the more Charlie and Ashelica felt that there was something evil inside her. This made Mary almost burst into tears. That was all, Ashelica. Charlie, you are the culprit of all this.

Okay... Of course, Mary can't say this to Charlie.

So when she heard that Duanmu Huai was planning to go out, she hurriedly tried to find an excuse to leave.

Otherwise, I don’t know what will happen if I continue to be questioned by the two of them.

"Okay, keep warm to avoid getting sick."

Duanmu Huai didn't object. On the one hand, it was idle, but on the other hand... I have to say that he also wanted to see if the golden eyes were attractive to the devil dog.

After all, this can be regarded as the Western version of Tang Monk's meat. Maybe the devil dog can also take this bite?

If this is the case, it will be much easier to encounter similar things in the future. Just release Tang Monk and attract monsters to take the bait.

Just like Journey to the West, the monster comes to catch Tang Monk to eat his meat, and then he is beaten to death by Sun Wukong with a stick. How convenient.

Well, if you put it this way, Mary is Monk Tang, he is Sun Wukong, and Lorena is Monk Sha?

So who is Zhu Bajie?

………………It doesn’t matter if you don’t have it, after all, you are not really going to seek scriptures.

After changing clothes, Duanmuhuai and Mary left Baskerville Manor and walked along the street towards the town.

It was already late at night. Normally, the whole town would have already fallen asleep, but because it was Christmas, the whole street was decorated with lights and decorations. It was not as dark as usual. On the contrary, the whole town looked

It's shining all the way up, and it looks quite a bit like a fairy tale.

It would be more interesting if there was another Santa Claus at this time.

"How are you doing? Is everything going well?"

As Duanmuhuai walked on the street, he asked casually that Duanmuhuai was actually not surprised by Mary's appearance. The reason - well, let's not say it.

"Fortunately, everyone is back to their old lives again, and I feel very happy. Although I was a little uneasy at that time, but... now it seems that everything was worth it."

Lifting her head and looking at the snowflakes falling from the sky, Mary couldn't help but sigh. This reminded her of the days when she went to Antarctica. Now that she's back here and thinking about everything that happened before, Mary might even think she was dreaming.

...Or maybe thinking about it now, it still feels very unreal.

But then again…………

"I will start thinking about graduation next year..."

"How have you considered what I said before?"

"Uh...you mean to invite me to join the Tribunal?"

"That's right."

Duanmuhuai nodded and looked at Mary. The golden eyes were really good... To be honest, Duanmuhuai wanted them too, but it was a pity that he had no choice.

And Duanmuhuai also heard what Mary said about the situation at that time. You must know that Mary is just an ordinary young lady, but she was able to rely on her golden eyes to see through the opponent's attack trajectory, and even instinctively dodge and fight - what the hell is this plug-in BUG?

ah?

To be honest, compared with Mary's golden eyes, Duanmu Huai felt that his own system was no longer good.

After all, the system needs to be upgraded. Mary’s golden eyes are really all-powerful!

The only flaw is that Mary herself is still a little weak, but as long as she trains hard and learns some basic knowledge of combat, coupled with the power of the golden eye, it is estimated that it will not be a problem to reach the level of the Night Guard.

Tsk tsk tsk, this is really cheating.

Duanmu Huai has not heard of the existence of the NPC Mary in the game. I don’t know whether it is because he did not appear or because the player did not notice it. However, Duan Muhuai thinks the latter is unlikely. Even if you don’t mention the golden eyes, a girl as beautiful as Mary

, as a player who is an old pervert, it is absolutely impossible to let him go.

After all, most players recruit NPCs based on their strength, appearance, or rarity.

Mary, who has golden eyes, has all the strength and rare good looks. In the game, she has already become a popular figure in the forum NPC ladder list - at least she is a T1 level.

I don’t know if it’s possible to fire lasers from the Golden Eyes?

For example, something like a long-term beam?

Uh...it shouldn't be possible.

"Is the work of the Inquisition... dangerous?"

"Strictly speaking, very dangerous."

Duanmuhuai didn't hide it, after all, this was a fact, and given the characteristics of Mary's golden eyes, maybe she went to the Tribunal, and the danger would be much greater than it is now.

"Although I will protect you as much as possible, you need to exercise and train how to fight and deal with enemies, and the work of the Tribunal can sometimes be cruel. At least what you are facing now, in the work of the Tribunal

Compared to that, it’s basically just pediatrics.”

Duanmu Huai still had to explain things clearly to Mary. Although the golden eyes were really precious, Mary was indeed an ordinary girl, so in this regard, Duanmu Huai even had some headaches.

After all, this world is more peaceful than other worlds. In a place like Novice Village, even young ordinary girls are either used to fighting, or they know that there are monsters in this world that will threaten them, so here

In fact, it is very receptive.

For example, those former students of Manalia Academy were about the same age as Mary, and they were all well-educated noble ladies. However, when facing enemies and demons, they would not show mercy and would kill them when they should.

, and they kill a large group at every turn. This is also because they were born in such a world, and naturally they have long been accustomed to monsters threatening their lives.

But Mary is different. She is actually more like a person in the real world. Even if she encounters any danger, she will not think of killing the opponent immediately. In a country like Lisas or Seth, even if

When faced with a monster, it would be difficult for Mary to choose to fight against it.

So in this regard, Duanmuhuai has a bit of a headache, and I don't know if she can make changes.

Although Mary is very kind, in the Inquisition, kindness is often not considered a good quality.

"……………………"

Sure enough, after hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary fell into silence.

"Don't want to do dangerous work?"

"No one wants to do dangerous work. Although I also want to try, I don't want Charlie and Ashelika to worry about me..."

Mary also sighed. This was also one of her hesitations. Although working in the Tribunal seemed to be a good choice, if it was too dangerous, it would make her friends worry, which made Mary a little hesitant.

"You really need to think carefully. After all, if you really go to work in the Tribunal, the risk factor will be higher than in the movie."

"Huh? Is it so exaggerated?"

"certainly."

After all, in the movie, dying is just like blowing up a building, but the extermination orders issued by the Inquisition are calculated based on planets.

"Why…………………"

Mary sighed again. She was indeed a little hesitant. The work of the Tribunal sounded dangerous, but she felt that she had to repay Duanmu Huai. After all, Duan Muhuai had helped her so much, but if the work was too dangerous,

, will it be counterproductive? Having said that, what can I do in the Tribunal?

Thinking of this, Mary also looked at Duanmuhuai and raised her inner questions.

"Of course it's the golden pupil. This eye of yours plays a very important role for the Inquisition, but you don't realize it yourself."

"To be honest, I really don't feel that my eyes are so special..."

Hearing Duanmuhuai's answer, Mary reached out and touched her right eye with a complicated expression. Although Duanmuhuai said it more than once, and the monsters seemed to have been sniping at her right eye, Mary really didn't feel it.

What is so special about my right eye? If I want to say, it is that I can see more clearly in certain places...

"The great truth is the most simple thing...this is the most powerful thing."

Seeing Mary's reaction, Duanmu Huai also sighed silently. The real BUG equipment refers to things like golden eyes. I don't seem to think it is powerful at all, but for others, it can be easily seen with just a glance.

Seeing through illusions that others cannot see through is enough to make people feel powerful. Especially for monsters like the Pink Horror who are best at transformation and illusion. Even Duanmu Huai can only rely on his own fear aura or the experience of the inquisitor.

To tell the difference, Mary can immediately see through the opponent's true identity with just one look - the gap between the two is simply like the gap between the weapons used in World War I and modern warfare.

In the past, soldiers were difficult to detect when they were hidden in the bushes. They could only be detected by experienced generals. However, in modern warfare, an infrared drone can lock everything on you without any skills.

It's just a generation difference.

Mary's golden eyes are like the latter. When used well, they are pure crushing.

What's even more amazing is that it consumes almost nothing.

"If you are willing, you can come and try it. Besides, it is also good to use as bait."

"...Huh? Bait?"

"Yes, just like now."

As he spoke, Duanmuhuai stopped. At this time, Mary who was following him also stopped and turned to look around. Only then was he surprised to find that they had arrived near the square in the center of the town.

Of course, there are also lanterns and decorations here, and there are lights everywhere. But I don’t know why, but at this moment, a thick fog seems to have gradually appeared around me. Under the light of the lights, I can only see the surrounding fog, and even the fog not far away can be seen.

The houses can't be seen clearly.

Not only that……………

"Hooooooooooooo......"

"What is this sound? Mr. Duanmu, is it a wild dog?"

"Who knows? At least now it seems that Tang Monk's meat is still more attractive."

Although he doesn't have golden eyes, Duanmuhuai has actually long since noticed that something is secretly following them. It's obvious that the other party is not coming for him. After all, it ran away after encountering him several times in the forest, so the only

What can be used to explain it is that the golden eyes are too tempting. Now it seems that this monster can't stand the temptation of Tang Monk's meat and plans to give it a try.

Is this thing really so tempting?

In Journey to the West, the monster wants to eat Tang Monk's meat because eating it can lead to immortality. So what can Golden Eyes gain by eating it?

Forget it, we'll talk about it later.

"Be careful and hide behind me."

Duanmu Huai clenched his fists and said to Mary - the previous cane had been used in Antarctica and had not been replaced with a new one yet, but for Duanmu Huai, dealing with wild dogs with bare hands was not a big problem.

"Roar-------!!!"

Finally, the other party seemed to be unable to bear it anymore, and with a low roar, the next moment a black figure suddenly jumped out of the fog and rushed towards Mary.

"Whoa!"

Facing the sudden attack, Mary seemed to be startled, but even so, her body seemed to instinctively turn back in a circle to avoid the black shadow's attack.

Tsk tsk tsk, golden eyes are really powerful.

"Roar-----!!"

The black shadow that missed the attack once again stretched out its claws and grabbed at Mary. At the same time, Duanmu Huai suddenly turned around, clenched his fist, and blasted directly at the black shadow in front of him!

"boom!!!"

Duanmu Huai's iron fist directly hit the black shadow, and the vague-looking shadow exploded instantly under the bombardment of Duanmu Huai's iron fist, completely shattering like a blown balloon. But this obviously did not

It didn't end. Soon, a series of barking sounds sounded again. When I turned around, I could see dark shadows like hounds appearing everywhere.

"Woof woof woof!!"

"Woof woof——!!!"

Dogs barked one after another, and it seemed like hundreds of hounds completely surrounded the two of them in the mist. Even Mary's face turned pale when she saw this scene.

"Duan, Mr. Duanmu!"

"Don't worry, this is just a trivial matter. Have you seen anything strange?"

"this……………………"

Upon hearing Duanmuhuai's inquiry, Mary looked around and then towards a small road not far away.

"There seems to be a strange shadow over there..."

"let's go!"
