Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 112 Catwoman and the Scarecrow
"Hey Berrien?"

Woz picked up the book on the ground: "Yes, such a clear trace of blood magic, no matter how you look at it, it must be related to that person."

Mirajane nodded blankly, she was not familiar with the Four Heavenly Kings, and did not make further comments.What she is more worried about now is Woz's situation. It is not a joke to let such a dangerous thing enter the body!

"Don't worry about it so much, go out first!"

Woz didn't move, but grabbed Mirajane backhand: "Shhh!"

At the same time, they calmed down and listened carefully. There was also that kind of "rustling" friction sound in the exit stairs behind them!
Mirajane's expression changed, and she immediately pulled Woz behind her: "Don't be brave anymore, leave this to me, it shouldn't be able to do anything to me."

"Maybe it's too late..." Woz's helpless voice came from behind.

Looking back, I saw a large number of ghosts like the "leader" just now in the room. The blood-red robes were flying around, making it impossible to count how many of them there are!

"It's really... the worst situation." Woz murmured helplessly, "Is it really me who committed suicide? I just wanted to come to this ghostly place to explore..."

In the shadows under the hood, a pair of blood red lights up.

There are still so many "leaders" who are too strong to foul?Woz grabbed the magic book in his hand and decided to do whatever it takes.

At this time, the whole castle suddenly shook violently, as if an earthquake had occurred.

The sudden jolt came and went quickly.But although the vibration stopped, there was still a strong booming sound that continued to come.

The stimulated ghost became restless, waving its claws around, and the sharp wind of claws left deep scratches on the ground and walls.

"Boom!" There was a sudden loud noise from the wall next to it, and the masonry cracked and flew away.A huge metal pincer reached in.

"It's still stuck, try again!" After the pliers were caught by the irregular hole, a girl's voice came out.

Then the metal pliers withdrew, and with another bang, half of the wall was smashed.

"Finally come in! Well, let me take a look..." The voice was still full of energy, "Hey! Why are there so many wild ghosts? I counted... There are 48 of them! Only one is missing. It's all here! It's not good, uncle, are we late? The guests have been killed by wild ghosts?"

The screaming girl jumped out of the pliers. Unlike ordinary people, she had a pair of triangular cat ears on the top of her head. Instead, the ears that belonged to humans were hidden under a short white hair. I don't know what happened. Are there normal ears.

"Woz... Is Mr. Woz Frenner there? Dear Mr. Frenner? Are you still alive?"

Woz shouted from below: "Hey, we are right under your feet, kitten!"

The cat-eared girl leaned over exaggeratedly and looked down, her cat pupils opened wide, shining green light.

"Ha, the two targets were found! Confirmed to be alive!" She suddenly shouted happily, then slipped and fell from the high mechanical pincers.

Mirajane couldn't help but let out an exclamation, and subconsciously wanted to go up to catch the girl.

But in mid-air, the cat-eared girl had already adjusted her body posture, and then landed smoothly.

"Hee hee, you were taken aback?" The cat-eared girl squinted her eyes and smiled, "Don't worry, sister, the cat won't be thrown to death!"

Probably because of the similar hair color, the girl with cat ears is very close to the silver-haired Mirajane.The very familiar cat-eared girl leaned towards Mirajane directly, she didn't look like a stranger she just met, she was as clingy as a cat meeting its owner.

"Is it someone sent by Mr. High Berrien?" Woz asked beside him.

The cat-eared girl nodded again and again: "The master asked us to rescue you. Knowing that Mr. Woz is coming to visit, we deliberately drove the house to the edge of the desert, but we still didn't meet in time! I didn't expect you to meet such a A castle. If we're late, we'll be in trouble."

She looked around at the wild ghosts around: "These are very powerful and troublesome things. Even the master has no way to deal with them, so he can only seal them and imprison them in this castle. But it's been too long, the whole The entire castle has been changed by their power instead, and the sealed magic has also mutated into the blood cloud outside, becoming their source of supply, it is very difficult for us to get in!"

"Okay, okay, I see." Woz couldn't help interrupting her chatter, "Let's solve the problems in front of you first, you should have a way to deal with them, right?"

The cat-eared girl waved excitedly at the pliers above her head: "Okay, uncle, come and save us!"

The huge mechanical pliers crashed to the ground, and the two sides opened, revealing a passage with a height of one person.

A figure in a tuxedo stepped out straight.

A... scarecrow?

Although wearing a gown and a top hat, that really is a scarecrow!

The scarecrow walked up to Woz stiffly, and bowed in a fairly standard manner: "Mr. Frenner, and Miss Strauss, I am sorry to have surprised you. Now please follow the cat up, the master has always waiting for you."

"As for this, I will leave it to my subordinates for the time being."

The scarecrow politely turned around to face the 48 wild ghosts, took off his gloves, and tore a handful of straw from his palm!
He sprinkled the straw around, and it immediately took root and grew into more than a dozen real scarecrows, surrounding and protecting the four of them.

The rays of magic power emerged from these scarecrows, echoed each other, and together outlined a magic circle.

"Dispel the evil spirits!" With the sound of the scarecrow housekeeper's shout, all the straw avatars suddenly opened their teeth and claws, roaring silently at the wild ghosts.

Naturally not to be outdone, the wild ghost roared back ferociously, his robe fluttered violently, and the two spots of red on his face became more intense.

The situation on both sides seems to be comparing who is more terrifying, full of sense of absurdity.Woz couldn't help but stop and look at the situation here. He really didn't believe that this magic would work.

But what surprised him was that after shouting at each other for a while, the gang of vicious wild ghosts actually withdrew!Like birds and beasts, they quickly left from the stairs on both sides of the front and back!
What is the principle?Extremely puzzled, Woz quickly observed these scarecrows carefully.

And Mirajane asked directly.

"Oh, this magic." The scarecrow butler slowly took back the straw and put on his gloves. "That's the ability to drive away birds when I was an ordinary scarecrow. It's my talent, right?"

The cat added from the side: "Although it looks a bit strange, the magic of the uncle is very powerful. There is nothing that the uncle can't drive away. In our castle, there are not even mosquitoes and mice!"

"Hey, such a convenient ability!" Mirajane, who is the logistics director of the guild, praised enviously.

Woz didn't have the heart to boo, but was extremely surprised: "So you are really a scarecrow? But how did you manage to have a soul?"

The scarecrow butler shrugged humanely: "Well... you can ask the master for advice, I don't know, after all, I'm just a scarecrow."

A group of people left Blood Cloud Castle through the passage in the middle of the mechanical pliers.After walking out of the metal passage, Woz looked back and realized that the passage and the mechanical pliers were nothing more than a huge mechanical prosthetic foot.

Under the same huge architectural castle in front of them, there are twelve similar mechanical prosthetic feet.At this time, the magic self-propelled castle was leaning against the blood cloud castle arrogantly, with two front legs, one was firmly grasping the tower of the blood cloud castle, and the other was the passage they had just walked through.The blood cloud outside the blood cloud castle collided fiercely with the magic barrier of the magic self-propelled castle.

It's like two huge monsters wrestling with each other.

When everyone was safely transferred to the magic self-propelled castle, the mechanical pliers finally released the blood cloud castle, and the two behemoths gradually opened up the distance.

"This is much bigger than the ghostly magic giant." Mirajane sighed.

"The ruler of ghosts? I've heard that they also have a magic self-propelled building. But that was only researched and manufactured by the later wizards. But my castle is an ancient magic passed down by the family from 400 years ago. The product is a magical self-propelled fortress that was used to fight dragons! Of course it is not the same." A magnetic voice came.

The Scarecrow Butler and the Cat turned to salute the visitor at the same time.

Seeing this scene, Mirajane naturally knew that the owner of this place—Hey Berrien was here.So he also bowed respectfully.

In the dim corridor, an elegant and gorgeous man walked slowly.

This man has a handsome face, every beard and hair has been carefully taken care of, looking meticulous, but also full of charm.Although judging from his appearance, he only looks about 40 to [-] years old, which is still young.But his eyebrows are full of vicissitudes and wisdom, and his clothes are a bit rigid like that of an old nobleman.It's impossible to see his exact age.

But Woz and the others know that the Four Heavenly Kings are all old monsters over a hundred years old.The current Heyberian can maintain such a youthful appearance, apart from his powerful magic power, it may be the reason for his magic.Otherwise, the green magic user Volod Sinken, who is also the Four Kings and is more conducive to longevity, has turned into an old treant. There is no reason why the older Heiberian is still so "young".

This is also the reason why many people speculate that Heiberian is a vampire.

"Welcome to the wandering castle of Heiberian's family." Heiberian held a goblet in one hand and stretched out the other hand, making an invitation gesture.

A group of people walked through the corridor, their eyes suddenly opened up, and they saw a huge portrait directly opposite, on which was the first generation of Heiberian.Next to the portrait, there is a sentence written in the oldest rune:

"Blood is the currency of life, the carrier of the soul."
