Chapter 67 Subtle Shaking
The morning sun was bright and warm. But everyone who came out of the carriage couldn't help but feel a cold air rushing from the back and sweeping across his body. It seemed as if he was shivering like a cold wind of autumn. There were bright blood, soil and obvious traces of battle everywhere, as if there had been a big battle here. And the tragic person who started to make a pupa was now discussing something with Mealee with a thin monkey corpse.
"You said this thing can be eaten. If you can eat it, it would be good to have a Monkey Brain Banquet at the Manchu Han banquet. I have never eaten this thing before..."
(It shouldn't be possible, have you forgotten? Their blood doesn't look normal, probably it's poisonous. It's better to give up. Besides, you cut it so badly, and you can't eat it.)
"That's right, it's a pity... Oh, it's so early for everyone."
Faced with Yi Ming's sparse and ordinary greeting, everyone was stunned for a moment before nodding slowly to respond. However, their eyes were still fixed on the bloodstains around them. After a while, Lita raised the courage to ask: "Brother Yi Ming, Sister Mei Yali, what happened......"
"Last night, there were guys who didn't know what it was that seemed to want to use us for late-night snacks."
Yi Ming said, throwing the one he was holding to the side and throwing it behind a mound of soil. It seemed that there was something else in that place.
"I originally planned to buy these guys for breakfast. But it seemed a little wrong, so I gave up... Well, I hope Marian, you can help burn these guys after a while. If something plague or something happens, it will be troublesome."
These guys?
The three of them became more and more confused. They instinctively wanted to look behind the mound, but Meyalie blocked them and shook her head slightly.
(It won't help your appetite.)
This aroused the curiosity of the three of them, but since Mealie said that, Lita and Marian had no choice but to do it. Although they could not hear Mealie's voice, Elinoa was still very good at observing the words and expressions. So she did not ask more questions and began to prepare for the morning meal. Gularo and the guardian of the Tower of Heaven kept a distance from them and did not join in. The girl who almost wrapped herself in a white robe like the Lord of Heaven kept looking here, as if she was a little curious. But Gularo stopped her actions just by looking at her. The rest of the people were not
I plan to ask, although they are currently companions on the journey, the five factions of Wuyao Tower have always been fighting openly and secretly, and each tower holds a different position. From the perspective, the relationship between Heyan Tower and the Green Tower is better, so Marian can agree to go with Elinoa, but the relationship with the Tower of Heaven is very average, so she does not intend to deliberately narrow the distance between the two sides. Since Lita's Dark Tower is always a neutral system, it does not rely on any faction, and it also maintains a good relationship with each faction, so no matter who accepts her, it is not very difficult.
Amid the brisk chanting of Elinoa, an elf girl made of water elements all over her body appeared beside her, and then began to make breakfast for Elinoa. After all, the guardian's duty is only to protect the magician's safety in battle, not the servants responsible for cooking. Therefore, it is very normal for the magician to cook by himself. In fact, Marian and Lita are looking at the water elf with some envy at this moment. Because this kind of elf only has the real symbol of chanting magic. As for the problem of cooking, although it is a bit cheating, Elinoa has a very smooth help from the elves. And because Lita's father is not at home all year round and his independent habits make her have no problems at all. And among them, the only person with problems is naturally...
"Let me see, maybe I'll know what animal it is."
It is normal for a magician who was born into a noble family and was spoiled since childhood to know nothing about cooking. So Marien could only blush slightly awkwardly, walk to Yiming and Meallie, and propose to them.
"Really?"
Yiming and Mayalie reacted to this but didn't want her to see it.
(Miss Marian, it’s better to do it when you leave. I’m not in a hurry now. Moreover, I don’t think it’s a sight you can see before dinner.)
"It's okay, since you both can do nothing, then I'm fine. Don't underestimate the members of the Brad family. Do you think I'm the kind of weak woman?"
Since they had said this, the two of them had nothing to say, so Yiming shrugged and took her to the mound, while telling Marian what happened last night.
"The body is small, the nails are long, the humanoids are in groups, and the skin is dark...that must be a shadow monkey."
It didn't take Marian to find out the answer immediately, and Yiming even wondered if there was an animal encyclopedia somewhere in her brain.
In Marian's introduction, the two learned that the Shadow Monkey is not a kind of monster, but a kind of monster. Although the difference between the two is only one word, it is very different in essence. The monster is a wild beast that is born with a little magic. Generally speaking, except for the enemies who are hungry or invading their own territory, they will not take the initiative to attack the other party. However, the monsters are different. They are naturally chaotic and will destroy or kill everything they see. The Shadow Monkey is the most dangerous one. Not only do they have sharp and slender nails, but also have terrifying venom on their teeth. Moreover, these smaller animals are in groups of action. They are ambushed in the shadows and damage and attack their prey indiscriminately until they kill each other. What is even more disgusting is that their behavior is sometimes not simply because of hunger or protecting their territory, but more because of a playful mentality.
No matter what, killing a group of animals does not require any psychological disorders.
But when Marien saw the scene in front of her clearly, the girl was doing her best to endure the limit of her patience without letting her fainting.
Nearly a hundred shadow monkeys were piled behind the mound. Each of their originally tiny bodies seemed to be ruthlessly torn by the claws of the giant beast, revealing a terrible and hideous wound. The viscous substances mixed with blood, brain and other body fluids were everywhere. No wonder Mealley said that this would not help with appetite. In fact, Marian was already doubting whether she could eat more today.
But the only lucky thing is that I was lucky enough not to have breakfast, otherwise I would have vomited out now.
Marien reluctantly endured the magic and then summoned the flames to burn all the things, but when she returned to everyone again, her face turned blue, but the noble's self-esteem was still supporting her, which made the spoiled lady not faint on the ground. Of course, it was impossible for her to have an appetite for breakfast.
I can't believe it!
Marien sat under the tree next to her, hugging her knees. The cool wind and air made her originally dizzy mind start to wake up a lot. She sat there dissatisfiedly, staring at Yiming and Mealli who were eating breakfast. Not only was they completely exhausted after the vigil, but they couldn't even notice the slightest disgust. Has they killed so many shadow monkeys, there was no effect? How did these two people's nerves grow?!
After half complaining in her heart, Marian couldn't help but turn her eyes to Meallie. She saw that she was having a quiet meal at this moment. Even in this wilderness, she maintained a considerable degree of etiquette. She turned her head slightly from time to time, as if communicating with Yi Ming beside her, and then smiled. This made Marian feel inexplicably sad.
I really can't do that at her level.
Even Marien herself didn't understand why this idea came to mind.
After using breakfast, everyone continued to rush. Imin and Marien, who had been guarding all night, returned to the carriage to rest, and the person in charge of chasing was replaced by Elinoa - is she really a magician?
"They have a really good relationship."
Sitting in the carriage and looking at the two people who were leaning on each other and falling asleep, Marien herself didn't know why such a sentence suddenly appeared.
"Well, because Brother Yiming likes Sister Meiyali very much, I don't know when they will get married."
Lita thought completely differently from Marian. After all, she was still young and didn't know much about love. However, from Lita's perspective, she was of course very happy that her favorite brother and her favorite sister got married. So she showed a very pure expression. But when Mariana heard this, a trace of anxiety appeared in her heart for no reason.
Strange, what's wrong with me?
Marien asked himself, but couldn't get the answer.
Originally, when the Lord of Green sent her to the investigation team, Marien could have rejected the proposal on the grounds that she was injured and had poor health. But for some reason, she did not refuse. In Marien subconsciously, it seemed that she was absolutely safe only under the protection of Yiming. Otherwise, even in the heavily guarded home, Marien felt quite fear and uneasy, but until now, she didn't know what her impulse was.
However, as Marien watched the hands that subconsciously held each other while she was sleeping, a trace of pain suddenly flashed deep in her heart.
For some reason, Marien didn't like this.
Or, she already knows it.
