Chapter 849 Heart-Eating Ghost

Shannon was silent for a while and said slowly: "Because he sent his monsters to kill the palace."

"Monster?" Angel looked at Shannon in confusion.

"It was a terrifying humanoid monster. It was huge and tall enough to reach the top of this hall." Shannon continued to describe the face of the monster. It had a huge mouth like a crocodile, its fangs were turned inward, and its skin was gray and could be seen faintly. There are purple blood vessels inside, and there is no nose bridge but only five neatly arranged nostrils. Its eyes are huge, but there is only one eye.

After listening to Shannon's narration, Angel seemed to have thought of something, and used an illusion to simulate a petite World of Warcraft image on the desktop. The appearance was almost the same as Shannon's description.

"Is this like this?" Angel asked.

Shannon was startled when she saw this phantom, but when Angel asked her, she realized that the other person seemed to be using some method to simulate the appearance of the monster.

"It's very similar, but the skin color looks a bit darker than the adult's." Shannon observed it carefully and concluded.

Angel showed a clear look and motioned for Shannon to continue.

Shannon: "This monster came to the capital and attacked the palace. It was extremely ferocious. It could often tear out people's hearts with one claw and then gnaw them on the spot... That night, it killed almost one-tenth of the people in the palace."

Angel heard that the monster liked to eat hearts, and he became more convinced of its identity.

"This is a Gomitu. To call it a popular name, it's called the Heart-eating Ghost." Angler paused: "Generally speaking, the Heart-Eating Ghost is not a creature of this world, but a summoned beast. But they are relatively low-level, their IQ is not enough, and they are not good-looking... So, those who summon them are either people with unique tastes, or they have no other choice. In short, they may be wilderness wizards."

"Is he an official wizard?" Leon asked quickly.

"If they are official wizards, can the Shannon royal family last so long?" Angel said: "For example, if Lady Eureka takes action and wants to completely destroy the Golden Bird Empire, it will not take more than a week. If she kills the royal family alone, Maybe a few minutes is enough."

Angel's example sent chills down Shannon's spine, making him even more fearful of the wizard's power.

"Since Shannon said that the skin color of the Heart Eater is very dark, then the person summoned by the other party is probably an old and frail Heart Eater. This kind of low-level summon cannot be summoned perfectly. It is probably a first- and second-level apprentice. "That's the standard." After a pause, Angel continued: "It seems that there is really a supernatural force involved in this war, and he is a low-level apprentice who does not follow the default rules and acts recklessly, so I prefer it. The other party is a wilderness apprentice."

Angel finally gave a qualitative conclusion.

Although in Angel's words, the heart-eating ghost is a summoned creature with low strength, but if it faces a mortal, a heart-eating ghost can easily wipe out all the people in a city.

Just the invulnerable skin of the Heart-eating Ghost is not something that mere mortals can handle.

Just like General Meng En in Hong Kong, his death situation is also consistent with the characteristics of a heart-eating ghost. In a port where the army is stationed, a heart-eating ghost can feel like he is in a deserted land, let alone the palace where the number of people is definitely smaller than that of the military port. .

Therefore, Angel was very curious: "Once the Heart-Eating Ghost goes on a killing spree, he will never stop easily. Now there is no news of the death of a direct descendant of the Shannon royal family. In other words, you have to kill the Heart-Eating Ghost." Retired? How did you do it?”

Shannon was silent, and after a long time he said: "The royal family has a treasure that can protect and defeat the heart-eating ghost."

Leon said at this time: "If the royal family has such a treasure, are they still worried about Hailan's invasion?"

Shannon shook his head: "That treasure has strong restrictions, and only our Shannon family can operate it. Every operation will inevitably sacrifice a person. In order to kill the heart-eating ghost, the third brother has died, and the Shannon royal family has already There are only a few people, so it’s not cost-effective to use that treasure. What’s more, the extraordinary person hiding behind can continue to summon the heart-eating ghost, and our family will not be able to kill him.”

"So, we can only ask your lord." Shannon suddenly knelt down on one knee and performed a knighthood: "Save our Golden Bird Empire, which is about to collapse."

Angel still didn't answer, but was thinking about the treasure the other party mentioned.

A treasure that is related by blood must be sacrificed every time it is used? It sounds a little strange, but having a blood connection means that when the other person refines the treasure, they hope to pass it on. But when using it, one person has to be sacrificed, which is not in line with the characteristics of blood connection.

It sounds very contradictory. But Angel could see that Shannon was not lying. Could it be that the person who refined this treasure both loved and hated the Shannon family?

Unable to figure out what kind of strange operation this was, Angel decided to put it aside for the time being, and instead looked at Shannon who was kneeling down.

Instead of responding to Shannon's request, he asked:

"You just said that the Heart-eating Ghost came to attack the royal family. You haven't said why it came? How do you know that there is someone behind the Heart-Eating Ghost when I didn't tell you that the Heart-Eating Ghost is a summoned object? A transcendent person?"

Hearing Angel's question, Leon reacted at this time: "Yes, why are you so sure that there must be a transcendent behind the Heart-Eating Ghost? Could it be that that transcendent has also contacted you?"

Shannon hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth: "Before the Heart Eater came, a letter appeared in my father's hand. The letter explained his purpose. He wanted us to hand over the treasure... My father tore it up directly, and then the Heart Eater attacked, and later Hai Lan counterattacked in various places, and many provincial generals were killed by the Heart Eater."

"It can be seen that there is a supernatural person behind the Heart Eater, and he stands in Hai Lan's camp. He may have judged that the attack on the palace was unsuccessful, so he simply helped Hai Lan and tried to completely defeat the Golden Bird by cannibalizing it."

Angel was not interested in the owner of the Heart Eater. What Shannon said made him most concerned...

"He wants you to hand over the treasure? What treasure, the one you killed the Heart Eater with before?"

"It's not that scroll... treasure, he wants something else."

Angel noticed that Shannon seemed to use a strange quantifier to describe the previous treasure, but he did not explore it, but continued to ask what the so-called other treasure was.

Faced with this question, Shannon was not as straightforward as before: "This treasure is a secret. If you are willing to help us... I can tell you this secret."

As soon as this sentence came out, before Angel answered, Leon looked a little uneasy.

"Are you threatening?" Leon narrowed his eyes, stepped forward, and stood beside Shannon.

Leon's cold tone made Shannon tremble in her heart, but what made Shannon feel most uneasy was that Leon, who was standing next to her, exuded a strong sense of oppression. The natural oppression that seemed to come from her blood made her feel the kind of fear that made people feel when facing an invincible beast.

Angel also noticed the strange oppression on Leon. The pressure came from the pure flesh, even stronger than the oppression when he first met Nausicaa.

"What kind of training has my brother experienced in the past few years? How did the strength of the flesh increase so much?" Angel thought silently in his heart.

Facing Lyon's bullying pressure, Shannon's voice trembled a little: "I'm not threatening, this is the bottom line my father gave me. I know it's unreasonable to ask the wizard to help us for nothing. The only thing we can exchange with the master is the secret of the treasure."

When Lyon wanted to say something, Angel interrupted him: "I want to know, is the secret of this treasure related to it?"

Angel pointed to the broken knight's sword on the table.

Shannon nodded without hesitation: "Yes."

Hearing this answer, Angel fell into thought, and seemed to be hesitating whether to agree to Shannon.

This made Lyon curious. When he discussed refugees with Angel, he could see that Angel didn't care about the victory or defeat of the war between Golden Sparrow and Hailan. He didn't have the slightest intention of getting involved. As a brother who had lived together for more than ten years, Lyon knew Angel's thoughts very well. It was difficult to change things that were determined.

But why did a fragment of a knight's sword make Angel hesitate? It seems that there is still a plan to change the decision?

"Is there any secret about this knight's sword?" Leon couldn't help but ask.

"I don't know what the secret is, but there are some details that I care about." Angel said vaguely.

Shannon has been watching Angel. Now the only hope of the Shannon royal family is that they have a supernatural person, so that they can fight against the person who can summon monsters. Only in this way can this war end as soon as possible.

Therefore, Shannon's anxiety at this time is beyond words, and he looks at Angel with expectation and pleading.

After a long while, in Shannon's excited eyes, Angel finally nodded.

"I can promise you, but I also have a request."

...

An hour later, Angel has taken Shannon to Haiyue City on a flying boat.

According to Shannon, Hailan's army has gathered in the sea a hundred miles away from Vichy Port, and the next target of attack must be Haiyue City.

According to the previous attacks and defenses, the wizard apprentice who summoned the heart-eating ghost would definitely let the heart-eating ghost kill the generals of Haiyue City first. Once the top leaders collapsed and the army was in chaos, the Hailan soldiers would take advantage of the situation and forcibly seize Haiyue City.

This is also the reason why Hailan has won many battles. It is because of the appearance of the heart-eating ghost that the success rate of their "decapitation operation" has been greatly improved.

"According to the adults' request, as long as the adults can deal with the other side's extraordinary person, the rest will be left to us." Shannon said respectfully.

Angel nodded. Although he agreed to Shannon's request this time, he did not want to intervene in the war of mortals. First, slaughtering mortals was not his wish, even the mortals of Hailan; second, it was a waste of time.

Therefore, he made a request that he only deal with the other side's extraordinary people, and the victory of the war still depends on the Golden Sparrow Army.

And he arranged a time for himself for this operation, which was two days.
