Chapter 809 Lord
There are still 15 minutes before the banquet starts.
The four of them temporarily gathered in the room for a short discussion, sharing the secret clues they had seen since entering the city and some of their inferences.
The "art festival" must be a conspiracy, but what is the real purpose of the conspiracy?
It is impossible for the alien demons to be stupid enough to accept humans because of their own hobbies, and even give in in siege battles... After all, the "medium-sized land deed" is not a small thing, it symbolizes the identity of the lord and the trust and gift of the "old king" .
On the surface, this lord may want to find out the secrets of the expedition through Han Dong and his party of four, and then use "mind control" to let the four return to the army and create riots from within.
However, all of this is based on the premise of 'control'.
If Han Dong and his party are out of control... what will this lord do? Revealing his true nature, directly attacking the four, and forcibly controlling them?
In other words, his original purpose was not to control the four to obtain military intelligence.
Rather, it involves something deeper, something that cannot be deduced from existing intelligence.
There is only so much 'inference' in general.
If you want to understand, you must go deep into the palace and go deep into the core of the city of different demons.
At the end of the discussion, Charlie Knight added:
"This city seems to be 'pretending' something as much as possible... It's like the doll I made, no matter how close to the real person, there are still subtle differences and a more or less sense of disobedience.
The "siege campaign" does not allow the entire army to be dispatched.
The campaign must be based on the [World Rules], that is, the troops launched cannot exceed the size of the city.
If we can't find something buried deep in the city, even if the siege battle can be won, our army will inevitably suffer great casualties, which will seriously affect the next expedition.
three days.
Find out the secrets of the city as much as possible while ensuring that the spirit is not invaded. "
"Row."

【Ballroom】
Ceiling candles composed of 108 small holy images,
Illuminating the huge hall, the lower end corresponds to a marble dining table that is more than ten meters long.
Twenty-one cutlery was placed.
A chef wearing a white pig mask is slowly bringing the appetizers to the table.
Artists who have passed the art assessment or are directly invited will enjoy the highest-level banquet in [Perugia] here, and have the honor to dine at the same table as the lord.
Han Dong and his party found a seat far away from the main seat.
Wino's mask has been specially modified by Han Dong and covered with a layer of tentacles... It can not only further camouflage, but also completely obscure the vision and avoid visual pollution.
More than half of the distinguished guests of the rest of the feast were not from Perugia.
Rather, they come from members of a tribe, village, or organization.
They are all inclined to the spiritual department. They heard that Lord Perugia is an atavistic demon with unique spiritual attainments. They tried to come here to find a way to improve their spiritual ability, or to understand in advance by visiting works of art Some ideas about 'atavism'.
Most of the people sitting here are "different demons", most of whom are newborns.
There are also two evil spirits with outstanding talent in art, who passed the benchmark assessment and got the opportunity to participate in the banquet.
It's banquet time.
The candlelight instantly turned a greyish-white color.
Before seeing the figure of the lord, his voice came first.
It seems that the sound from the deep space of the universe is matched with the hissing sound from the bottom of the abyss. The two overlap to produce an ethereal sound.
The language used is also a kind of [Esperanto] that can be understood by any kind of demon, plus a kind of [Italian] learned from the local area, which is convenient for the four specially arrived humans to understand.
"Thank you to all the distinguished guests who have outstanding achievements in art for visiting my mansion."
Hearing strange overlapping sounds,
The distinguished guests looked towards the top of the steps of the banquet hall.
The thick door engraved with the "sun seal" and "moon seal" was pushed open by two strong servants.
[Perugia City] The lord of the medium deed,
A high-level existence that can leave a psychological shadow on Earl Scarlet,
The "Attributive Body" that Han Dong has never seen face-to-face,
is slowly appearing in a suspended manner,
The first thing that catches the eye is the 'multicolored holy robe' draped on the lord... The face and most of the body are covered in it, and it is impossible to intuitively spy on the true state of this atavistic body.
"Four arms and four legs" and "bird in a cage" are the core features of this lord.
Four arms:
Two of the arms are crossed in front of the chest,
The other two arms show the gesture of the painting in the lobby - [perceive the truth], stretched to the left and right respectively, as if holding the sun and the moon in their palms.
Quadruped:
Among them, the two feet stretched out from the middle of the holy robe, showing a 'sitting posture',
The other two feet naturally stretched out from the lower end of the holy robe, showing a 'floating posture'.
The caged bird:
On the top of the head covered by the hood, there are two curved horns.
A thin wire is attached between the horns to suspend a special metal birdcage... A live sparrow is living in the birdcage.
...
Although the colorful robes obscured the lord's figure.
But such a gesture is shocking enough, and the "caged bird" tied between its long horns is also thought-provoking, revealing some kind of control over the lord.
At the same time, there is one more thing.
Because the two legs of the lord stretched out from between the holy robes and showed a sitting posture...so that the holy robe was slightly stretched by these two legs, and the original structure of his body could be faintly seen.
but.
Even the alien demons who attended the banquet held an attitude of seeing no evil, and no one dared to look directly at the lord's 'main body'.
Only Han Dong, who was sitting at the back end, was secretly using the peeping ability of the magic eye to try to spy on the secrets under the holy robe.
Through the darkness, unraveling the essence...
squeak~~
It was clear that he was spying with his eyes, but there were bursts of crisp rat calls.
Han Dong had no choice but to hold his mouth tightly with his palm and activate "Laughter", but he did not laugh.
After dispelling the group of rats in his head, a terrifying scene was successfully spied on.
As a result of this kind of prying, a drop of blood dripped down between the eyebrows... The low-level little magic eye suffered serious visual damage after spying on the existence of high-level people.
"Is this the... attitude of the atavistic body?"
minced meat stars,
The inscription made of rat's eyes,
The abyss where corpses pile up,
Just when Han Dong recalled this picture and felt deeply uncomfortable, a soft finger quietly landed on his back.
"Tuina and Massage"
**And the mental discomfort dissipated.
At this time, Demps wearing a mask was looking at him, and the voice immediately entered his mind:
"How dare you, Nicholas... You dare to spy directly on the true state of the "attribution". "
