Chapter 317 Pointed Hat

East Flame Road, in the Black Butterfly Office.

Paulin rummaged through legends that were well known in Dilud City one after another.

"Suddenly I'm looking for legends. What kind of legends are I looking for? There are so many legends about Di Lude, and I don't know the era."

While complaining, he rummaged around.

Finally, when he turned to a story, he stopped, and his black eyes scanned the book cover.

"The Red Rose of Diroud"

Fairy tales he read as a child.

After thinking for a while, he opened the story book and read the words on it silently in his heart.

"A long time ago, Diroud was destroyed."

"Lots and lots of beasts."

"The beast's eyes are as red as flames, and its roar is like a legendary dragon."

"Groups of wild beasts rushed into Dilud and broke through the high city walls."

"The sturdy armor of the knights was easily pierced by the fangs of the beast."

"Their weapons have not been able to cut off the claws of the beast."

"Knights, easily slain, drowned in a sea of ​​wild beasts."

"Di Lude, it will be destroyed soon."

"Not a single one survived."

"Beasts, not all of them have left Dilud, and are entrenched in the ruins of Dilud."

"Several warriors rushed over from the surrounding cities. With great wisdom and strength, they killed the beasts entrenched on the ruins of Dilud, and killed the evil people who drove the beasts to Dilud."

"The beast is slain, and the wicked man is slain."

"The warriors discovered that red flowers grew from the ashes of Diroud."

"'That's a rose, a red rose,' exclaimed a warrior."

"The brave man took the peaked hat of the wicked man, took a cup of soil, and planted this new rose in it."

Paulin couldn't help but smile as he read this was obviously a fairy tale for children, but soon his smile subsided.

The person who read him stories when he was a child is no longer there.

Then he picked up another storybook.

Seems to be the same story?

Paulin scratched his head, then glanced at the covers of the two collections of fairy tales.

Well, the author is not the same.

"."

"The evil man who drove the wild beasts sneaked into Dirod."

"They're trying to destroy Diroud."

"But they failed at last, and the righteous warriors seized them, using their peaked hats as flower pots."

"."

"It's an old-fashioned story." After reading it, Paulin commented, "Moreover, Diroud was not destroyed, and the bad guys were stopped. It's a happy ending for everyone."

Compared with the previous one, the one he read as a child was much less interesting.

At least adults would be interested in reading the previous book. This book is too old-fashioned, and the new captain probably won't be interested.

Recalling his impression of the new captain, Paulin shook his head, and put this old-fashioned fairy tale written by an unknown little author on the side of the table.

The body of the maid in the gray skirt is constantly changing, and a peaked hat appears on top of her head.

Her clothes also turned into a gray and black robe, and her originally beautiful face also became much older.

At the moment the change stopped, she opened her eyes:

"Destroy! This place will be destroyed! I will destroy this place!"

And in the other half of her body, in the squirming shadow, a voice sounded:

"Stop first, I need to stop, obey the command, and act together, otherwise I will be killed."

After the sound sounded, it quickly disappeared, and the squirming shadow also became calm.

The old woman in the peaked hat was in a daze for a moment, and then she seemed to be taken aback by something. She recovered from the somewhat arrogant posture just now, flinched, and immediately walked towards the outside of the manor with somewhat staggering steps. .

"Disappeared?"

Yago, who was hesitating, hesitating in the idea of ​​using the gatekeeper mask to escape or run away, suddenly found that the feeling that reminded him of the father of insight just now disappeared!

But at this time, he suddenly heard dense and strange sounds.

The rough grinding sound of mechanical parts snapping together.

Taking a deep breath, Yago put on the mask, and when the black silk thread enveloped his body, he disappeared from the spot.

Less than twenty seconds after he disappeared, a group of people appeared at the place Yago disappeared just now.

A tall man with stubble on his chin, dressed as a worker, held a half-palm-sized glass ball, scanned his surroundings, and arrived at the scene after the team members reported that they found a team member's body not far away.

Looking at the corpse, he said coldly:

"Release the 7174 construct!"

"Yes! Captain!"

After responding, the two people behind put down a suitcase with a leather shell that was less than forty centimeters in length and width, and then opened it.

The next moment, a copper-yellow mechanical beast that looked like a wolf came out of the box.

It was more than one meter tall and two meters long. In terms of volume, the box couldn't accommodate it at all, but everyone present was not surprised at all, as if it was commonplace.

Its body is covered with various gears, knobs, pipes, and pressure valves that are constantly operating. The heart-like parts seen from the gaps that are not completely covered are shrinking as the pistons and bearings rotate. , slightly white steam spewed out from the gaps on its body surface and its mouth.

After it appeared, the surrounding mechanical creatures, who were also made of metal and full of industrial style, retreated one after another.

"Find the murderer who killed these two."

The squad leader with brass eyes and broken gears continued:

"Grab her."

As for his instructions and requirements, the wolf-like mechanical beast only took a few steps forward amidst the friction sound of parts gnashing together, grabbed the cloth and cotton on the ground with one paw, and flung it towards the brass eyeball. team leader.

Afterwards, he had no intention of moving anymore, and lay down on the ground directly. During the rotation of the pistons and gears in the body cavity, his movements were slowed down by the gushing white steam, and his metal eyelids were also closed, as if he had fallen asleep.

Looking at this scene, the captain also seemed to understand. Looking at the gray and black cotton he grabbed casually, the metal prosthetic eye in the eye socket turned:

"There is still a residual spiritual mist, this is... a mysterious object."

"Where is the person who took the mysterious item?"

He looked at the tall mechanical beast sleeping on the ground again.

Following his voice, the mechanical beast opened its eyes, stood up again, and started running in the hedge maze.

Among the others, the two team members carrying the suitcases hurriedly picked up the suitcases and chased after them.

The seriousness on the captain's face is also less, 7174 will definitely be able to catch up to the target.
