Chapter 557: The Strange Eye Demon (Part II)
The more the Overseer Eye Demon spoke, the more excited he became, the more he spoke, and he wanted to tell him all the things that had happened since he was born. Obviously, this guy has suffered a great change in his psychology and personality due to his long-term loneliness and loneliness, and if one word is used to describe it, it is chatterbox.
Many people who have been locked in a secret room for a long time will have a similar situation, and the sight of a new face is like seeing a loved one. There was no doubt that it was a mental illness, but it was the first time it had been seen in a creature like the Eye Demon.
However, Henry obviously didn't have time to listen to a talk show from the Eyed Demon here, so he didn't hesitate to raise a hand and shout, "Stop!" All we have to know now is what's in that box? β
"I don't know. Belch...... As soon as you said that, I suddenly remembered that I seemed to have promised those Shahua fishmen to help them scare away the intruders......" As he spoke, the Overseer's Eye suddenly opened its bloody mouth and let out a strange cry at everyone: "Ahhhh β
Everyone watched in amazement as it screamed, with expressions of disbelief on their faces. Henry subconsciously covered his face with his hand, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He really couldn't imagine what kind of inhuman abuse this eye demon had suffered in the past sixty years, and how strange it could be.
After howling for a few minutes, the Overseer Eye Demon blinked his eyes in satisfaction, "Well, I can probably only help this Cheng DΓΉ." Well, don't worry too much about the contents of that box, it's been a long time since I've seen anyone as interesting as you, so it doesn't feel like fighting you. β
"Are you sure we can't even see what's there?" Ammon asked curiously. To be honest, she's kind of fond of this weird behavior right now. I like eyes.
"What? Are you really so impatient? Oh. I get it! You must think it's something the Eye Demon guards. So you think there will be treasures inside, right? Unfortunately, I have to tell you that you are not allowed to peek into the box, because he summoned me to guard it. With that, the Overseer's Eye stared at everyone warily.
Henry was very keenly aware of the loopholes in the contract, and smiled and comforted: "Don't be nervous, relax." You said that the dark elf told you to guard the chest, not the contents of the chest, right? β
Overseer-Eyed muttered as he recalled, "Hmm...... I remember the Dark Elf mage shouting "my chest" and a spear piercing his chest, so this must be the chest he was talking about. Other words. I must not let anyone touch it......"
"But that doesn't mean I can't use spells to open it, right? That way, we don't have to touch anything, and we can see what's inside. Henry's face playfully continued to misinterpret the last words of the dark elf mage. For him, who has knowledge of the earth, this kind of work called Wen Chewing couldn't be easier.
Hearing that there was a loophole to exploit, the Overseer's Eye nodded without hesitation: "Hehe! You're right, but I'm actually curious about what's inside. With that, it immediately turned around and closed all its eyes, making a look of hiding its ears and stealing the bell.
Without hesitation, Henry took two steps forward and directly used the "mage's hand" to lift the lid of the box, only to see a white tooth inside. It's about twenty centimeters long and looks unusually sharp.
Just as he was about to make the identification. The Overseer's Eye suddenly turned around and pursed his lips disdainfully, "Is this it?" Tsk, listening to the way the dark elf yelled before he died, I thought the fate of their entire clan was here. Hey, I'd better resign myself to my fate and continue to guard an empty box for another forty years, oh yes......"
"You don't have to do it anymore. There is no point in guarding an empty box, and even if it is placed here, no one will come to steal it. Henry said as he scrutinized the condition of his teeth. Obviously, this is no ordinary tooth, as it has long surpassed Mithril in hardness, and is no worse than Adamantite.
"Aha! That's right! That's right! Even the over-inflated heads of the Eye Demon Council won't force me to fulfill this pointless contract. I'm free! It's free!! Oh yes!! What's next? Oh, by the way, I've got to eat first, you wouldn't think I'm hungry......" said the Overseer-Eyed Demon happily cast a portal and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
After seeing this strange-behaving guy leave, Jasila couldn't help but smile wryly and shook her head: "This is simply the most maverick Eye Demon I've ever seen, completely different from its kind. Maybe I can consider writing it in a book in the future, I believe it will be very interesting. β
"Hehe, I also think that Eye Demon is very interesting, if only we could have an adventure together." As he spoke, Ammon had a rather regretful expression on his face.
Aberdell looked at his childhood playmate and sister in amazement and yelled, "Are you crazy? Imagine how much commotion it would cause if a demon suddenly appeared in the city? Maybe we'll be attacked directly by the army! β
"Alright, stop arguing. I think I've got the key to the Shadows, and this tooth is. Henry shook the white and flawless teeth in his hand and said to everyone. After much identification, he had enough information that it was time to leave the underwater city.
"You mean, this tooth is the key?!" Feder was the first to react and asked, slightly surprised.
Henry nodded: "That's right, this is it." β
"Then what are you waiting for, let's hurry up and open this hellish place, my scalp tingles at the thought of the mutated creatures that are still wreaking havoc in the city." After saying that, Aberdale turned around and planned to return the way he came. Ever since he learned about the terrifying speed of the virus, he has vowed never to stay away from these dangerous monsters.
Suddenly, Viconia seemed to remember something and shouted loudly, "Wait! We almost forgot a very important thing, there is a rebel army outside! β
"Damn! I remember. The fishmen had mentioned a prophecy and told us to go outside the city to meet a prince named Verrinati. Aberdell slapped his head in a flash of realization, and quickly took out a bead from his waist bag with an uneven surface, which looked like a beehive.
He placed the bead directly on Henry's hand and explained, "Here, this thing is a token." According to the fish-man priest, whenever the rebels saw it, they would take us to the prince. β
"Oh? So there's an army of Sawa Fishmen in the direction of the Dark Regions? As he spoke, the corners of Henry's mouth turned up slightly, revealing a hint of a playful smile. He laughed so wickedly that even the succubus Nexis couldn't help but be clever, silently feeling sorry for the fishmen.
"You're not planning to lure them into the city and let them fight the monsters, right?" Jasila is worthy of being a harpist, and she saw through the whole plan in an instant.
You must know that after the death of the king, the entire city has become food for the evolution of monsters, except for a small group of fishmen who are still relying on a few sturdy buildings for defense. A large number of terrifying monsters that have completed several evolutions are fighting each other in the streets, and if the rebels are pouring in now, it will definitely be dead and dead, and there will be no chance to escape.
After all, the only key that can be opened and closed is in everyone's hands now, as long as the door is locked, no one can think of it. As for the exit of the other section, it has long been blocked by spells, and it takes at least an hour to reopen the spell ritual.
Henry smiled very sinily and nodded: "That's right, I just want to kill all these sea bandits." They have been wreaking havoc on the coastal areas of my territory for a long time ago, so why don't you take revenge. β
What's more, he has completely torn his face with the god of Shahua Fishmen, Saikora, and he will definitely not let go of any opportunity to strike, weaken and hit the other party.
The fall of a maritime kingdom means that a radius of hundreds of nautical miles will be completely out of control, and according to the custom of the fishmen, a fierce battle will ensue until a new king is born. It can be said that this is simply a good thing that kills multiple birds with one stone, and it is simply beneficial and harmless. As for whether Sekora will be angry and scold, that is not a matter for Henry to consider.
Everyone present obviously didn't have a good impression of the Sawa Fishman, so there was no opposition at all. You must know that not long ago, the coastal area of Jianwan was plundered by these evil creatures, the death toll was as high as hundreds of thousands, and there were countless homeless people.
"You'd better be careful, the prince of Verrinati is much smarter than the crazy king, and there will certainly be priests and mages under him, and it will certainly not be okay to lie." Jasila cautioned.
"Rest assured, I'm very good at telling the truth selectively, it's much easier to believe than just lying, and it's not detected by any spells. Alright, don't waste any more time here, and send these damned fish-man robbers to their gods. With that, Henry walked forward without looking back. He even dared to guarantee now that in terms of misleading abilities on the main plane, I am afraid that he would not be able to find a few people who can compare with him.
The group quickly crossed the passage and returned to the streets of the city. It is no longer prosperous, and all that has been poured out are ruined rock walls, and the pearls that were originally covered with roofs have been swept away, leaving only bare stone slabs. They drank the invisibility potion one by one, and carefully walked between the buildings hand in hand, trying to avoid the terrifying monsters.
Although Henry developed this terrible virus, he could not control it at all. The infected don't know what fear is, they only have food and evolution in their eyes, and they will not hesitate to rush forward even if they know that they are dead. Along the way, he saw a lot of monsters that were not very large, but still sacrificed their lives to rush towards the powerful same kind, and the tragedy of the picture was simply shocking.
Seeing the bloody scenes, Jasila's eyes were filled with fear, and she once again made up her mind to report the matter to the Harpists League as soon as she returned to the surface...... (To be continued......)
