Annihilated Lilith

Chapter 91 91. Kidnapping (7)

As if they were really just guests, during the meal, the three of them could be described as having a "happy conversation".

When Emma put down the dessert fork, the deer boy immediately ordered Gaius to fetch a delicate crystal bottle, the looming amber color indicated that it was a bottle of alcohol.

"Emma, ​​you can go back to your room after eating. Lawrence and I want to taste wine and chat for a while."

This is the so-called eviction order.

Emma was very conscious of being a kidnapped person, and immediately got up to leave.Lu Tong obviously had something to discuss and didn't want her to hear.

"Gaius, please see her off. By the way, ask him to come over when you pass by the high priest's room."

"Good host."

Gaius nodded respectfully, stepped forward and made a "please" gesture to Emma.

The passages in the temple are too wide and not concealed enough.Emma couldn't ask Gaius about Lawrence immediately, because she always felt that the walls had ears.However, he soon saw the high priest, and it turned out that his room was only three corners away from the dining room.

After Gaius knocked, the door opened a crack, and a haggard, pale hand protruded from it, as if waiting to take his plate.

"High Priest, I'm not here to deliver food. The master told me to invite you to the restaurant."

The hand froze for a moment, and then the door reluctantly opened completely.

When the high priest saw Gaius, his expression was a little subtle. It seemed that he didn't really want to see this child who had been with him day and night, but his eyes were full of kindness.

Emma couldn't understand this complicated emotion, and could only judge that something had happened that made it difficult for him to face, and the existence of Gaius would remind him to remember.

"What does he have to do with me?"

"I do not know."

"I haven't done what I was told...not to mention the time hasn't come yet..."

"I really don't know, high priest, the master just asked me to call you over."

The high priest just looked at Gaius quietly for a moment, then nodded sadly.

Gaius turned back and smiled at Emma, ​​and continued to lead the way, without saying goodbye to the high priest, nor telling him of Lawrence's existence.

For two people who once lived together and are now imprisoned and enslaved together, their attitude towards each other is somewhat abnormal.

Although a little curious, this matter is definitely not in the top ten on Emma's list of concerns at the moment.

There are too many mysteries, and they have been entangled into a terrible ball of thread. Even if the end of the thread can be found, it will be a huge project to unravel the cocoon.The most important thing is to worry about your own safety.

Judging from Deer Boy's attitude, he probably wouldn't use Emma as fodder in a short time, otherwise he wouldn't treat each other with such good food and drink.But since it is the relationship between "predator" and "prey", it cannot be taken lightly.

Even if he wanted to keep Emma, ​​she had no intention of being a harmless pet.

She didn't expect to find Lutong's weakness and strike at him, she just wanted to find a chance to escape, or send a message, and wait for rescue.

Who can defeat such a monster?He gives the impression of being truly powerful.

If it was Cass, maybe he could give it a go?
No, why did you think of Cass?If Lawrence was with the monster, then Cass most likely was too.

But for some reason... I always feel that he must stand on the opposite side of evil.Even though he was a little unprincipled, even with all his flaws, he was the most invincible warrior Emma had ever seen.

"Miss Green, did you hear what I said?"

The voice of Gaius brought Emma back from the state of trance, and she quickly looked around, and it turned out that she had arrived at the door of her room.

"Uh, sorry, can you say that again?"

"I told you to lock the door after you return to the room, and don't come out. The owner has arranged for strange animals to patrol the corridor, and they may attack you because you smell strange."

"Strange animal? What is it like?"

Lu Tong is really cautious, even in the mirror world, he did not give up his defense.This directly shattered Emma's plan to go out secretly to investigate.

"There is a red-furred lion with a thick scorpion tail and a pair of wings like a flying dragon on its back."

"Manticore... can such a rare creature be domesticated?"

The manticore is not a native magical creature on the Duma continent, but the specimens were once transported from foreign countries by the nobles and decorated in prominent positions in the castle to show their wealth and strength.He also mentioned it many times in Mr. Robin's class. It seems that one of his life ideals is to fight against the manticore.

Judging from the words of the deer boy, this thing can actually obey the instructions of the deer boy, otherwise it would not "remember the smell and not attack".It's almost unbelievable.

Legend has it that manticores are very dangerous, extremely dangerous, hiding in hidden jungles, and have a penchant for cannibalism, and will not leave any residue after eating them.

But since Deer Boy can control vampires and sirens...

Or is this manticore simply a synthetic beast he created?

"And some... chickens with snake tails... or snakes with chicken tails? I don't know how to describe it."

"cockatrice?" Emma frowned, "have you ever looked at them?"

"Looking at each other? It seems... yes, I'm not sure, because they are too scary, I choose not to look at them as much as possible."

The cockatrice is a harmful magical creature that was relatively common in the past. Its origin is unknown. Some say that the eggs laid by a rooster were hatched by a toad, and some say that an alchemist crossed a chicken and a snake in an experiment.

This creature is about the same height as an adult. Whether the main body is a snake or a chicken is still unclear, but it is most likely to be a snake, because in the druid's experiment, the chicken's head survived longer than the snake's head.

In addition to being highly poisonous, they also have magical abilities similar to petrified cows. Although they are much weaker, the moment their eyes meet will still cause people to lose most of their mobility and let them be slaughtered.

And for two-headed creatures, this ability is even trickier.

Because it is too dangerous and likes to attack human villages, cockatrices have been eradicated several times by orders of kings of various generations in the millennium, and then they have gradually become rare.

It is very reasonable for Lutong to choose them as guards. The ability of "petrification" is indeed the first choice for defense.

"do you have anything else?"

A manticore, a group of cockatrices, either party is definitely not an opponent that Emma can deal with.

"There seems to be a more powerful one in the basement, but I haven't seen it. It's a bit like the owner's pet, and the food should be prepared by him himself. Anyway, I haven't handled it. Sometimes I can hear it barking late at night. The sound...was horrible, and I woke up several times."

It's late at night...you can pay attention to this.Although he couldn't see the sky, judging from the time since he was captured, it should have been past midnight.

"Are you going back to the restaurant later?"

"You want me...to help you eavesdrop on what they're saying?"

Emma smiled a little embarrassedly that her thoughts were so simple to be seen through.

"There is no way, Miss Green. I can only approach the master when I am called. In today's situation, he must wait until I need to pack things before calling me over."

"Gaius..."

"Anything else, Miss Green?"

"Would you like to go out?"

Gaius was taken aback when he heard the words, his eyes lit up for a moment, and then quickly turned off.He lowered his head and did not answer the question.It wasn't that he was afraid that the answer would be monitored by Lutong, but a kind of complete despair.

Emma thought for a while, kissed him on the head for a moment, then returned to the room with a smile and closed the door.

Can't give up hope, at least for this innocent child, we must find a way out.
