Chapter 349: Unknown Existence Outside the Sky
"Meteor shower, I haven't seen it for a long time."
The palace is still dark today, there is no need to light up the lights, because the only person living here does not need lights.
The current king, Ainz III, stood in front of the window and looked at the gradually sinking sun. After the sun sets, the night will fall, and the night will bring meteors.
And meteors will bring sounds from the sky.
He stroked his hand covered with messy hair. Just stroking it would cause a large piece of hair to fall off, but this was not a good thing, because these hairs would grow back after his next madness.
At this moment, Ainz III's face was full of vicissitudes. He was obviously only a middle-aged man, but he looked as old as sixty or seventy years old.
There was a sudden regret in his eyes. He covered his head tightly and choked intermittently: "What have I done these days, my country, my people."
Ainz III recently felt that his mind was clearer than before, but this made him more painful, because it would make him see what stupid things he was doing these days.
That day, he heard a voice from the sky. He couldn't understand the mumbling, but his mind became clear.
At first, he thought it was the gods helping him, but soon he found out that he was wrong.
Because he found that his blood, or the things related to animalization in his blood,
was contagious.
When he saw the little mouse that bit his ankle and drank his blood turned into a crazy demon mouse and ran away, Ainz III became terrified.
But then, the voice from the sky appeared again, and he lost consciousness in an instant. When he woke up again, he had a memory that made him even more devastated.
He was controlled by an unknown existence and spread his blood to those servants.
People who were contaminated with his blood would become contagious, and these new sources of infection would give birth to new sources of infection after contact with the outside world.
So far, how many infected people have there been in the royal city? They have not yet developed the disease, but what kind of hell will it lead to once they develop the disease?
Ainz III was very upset. The unknown existence from the sky seemed to want to torture him deliberately, and spread a piece of information into his mind out of thin air. That was the cause of everything.
It turned out that the unknown existence had long been eyeing him and his country, but had not figured out how to deal with them in the best way.
Eliphis brought a turning point.
"Eliphis."
This terrible man with the ability to control the mind brought the things of the demon clan, and wanted to use the Fallen Demon Egg to control Ainz III.
After the unknown existence discovered Eliphis's plot, he had a good idea.
He interfered with the operation of the Fallen Demon Egg, causing Ainz III to be in a state of repeated beastification. This was done to make him an excellent source of infection. Now the transformation has been completed.
He named it "beast transformation".
Since the beast transformation symptoms are derived from the Fallen Demon Egg and are caused by the will of the unknown existence, it is very simple to induce beast transformation, and only extreme negative emotions are required.
It is also very simple to eliminate beast transformation, just eliminate negative emotions, but even gods have negative emotions, how can people's negative emotions be completely eradicated? This is an extremely desperate situation in Ainz III's view.
As the second person being watched by the unknown existence, Eliphis, who has the ability to control the mind, will be the best detonator.
The unknown existence has waited for a long time for the dish of the royal city, and he doesn't want to wait any longer.
This meteor shower that hasn't been seen for a hundred years will strengthen His connection with the world. When the last day of the meteor shower comes.
He will use Eliphis to detonate the royal city.
Why does He do this? What good will it do to Him?
But how can people guess the will of "God"? As the only person in the world who knows this terrible truth, Ainz III just wants to end everything with suicide.
The unknown existence gave him this short period of sobriety to torture him. Once he wants to commit suicide, he will lose his mind again. He is sober, but he can't ask others for help or pass on information to the outside world.
He can only watch his beloved country destroyed in a clear mind.
"Eliphis! It's all you. If it weren't for you!"
Ainz III smashed the things around him crazily, but after smashing a few things, he collapsed to the ground powerlessly.
It's useless to blame Eliphis. He brought the wolf into the house and brought him to his side. Even if there was no Eliphis, the unknown existence would cause trouble sooner or later.
So there was only one choice.
"Please, whoever it is, kill me now"
"Save my country, my people"
————————————
At the same time, Fingri was still watching the battle.
He watched the Falling Star Bull carrying Eliphis, who was as unresponsive as a puppet, running majestically on the street, and watched the captains of the Light Eagle Group turn into bullfighters and jump on the back of the Falling Star Beast in turn to rescue their own leader. In the blink of an eye, Captain Gus disappeared from the crowd, probably running to catch the little meteorite.
How should I put it? In his opinion, the scene was filled with a cheerful atmosphere.
If the group fighting the Falling Star Beast was not the Light Eagle Group, Fingri would probably laugh heartily and stir up the atmosphere beside him.
But this time he happened to meet the Light Eagle Group.
As soon as he saw Eliphis's face, he couldn't help but recall the scene of the massacre in his hometown.
It is impossible to say that he has no feelings about this, because the Hell March will summon the phantoms of all the villagers to him every time, which means that these phantoms can still make Fingri feel like hell.
His feelings for Eliphis are very complicated.
On the one hand, because the other party killed the mutated villagers with the Light Eagle Group, he had a faint dislike for him in his heart, but he knew that this was just his willfulness.
On the other hand, the other party brought peace to the villagers and gave him some care afterwards, and he was more grateful to him.
Later, Eliphis became famous and entered the upper echelons of the kingdom, and Fingri also had respect and admiration for him.
"I just don't know when his promise to help me find the culprit can be fulfilled."
Fingri clenched his fists. If he really found the "evil magician" who caused all his family members to mutate.
I'm afraid he will do extremely irrational behavior on the spot, and no one can stop the extreme behavior, and I'm afraid he will be scolded as "brain-dead" by others.
Even if the real murderer is a high-ranking minister, he dares to kill into the palace!
"Forget it, I'd better go."
After thinking for a while, Fingri didn't help after all. He didn't know why, even though Eliphis could be considered his benefactor.
But there was a feeling in his heart that told him to stay away from this person.
He was about to leave, took off his hood to breathe, and suddenly realized something, and turned around abruptly-
Elsa, holding the little meteorite, stared at him intently behind him.
"Uh, hello?" Fingri felt a little embarrassed, but looking at Elsa up close, he suddenly remembered that the person in front of him seemed to be hanging out with the Sky Raiders recently.
It turned out to be a member of the Light Eagle Group. I thought she was from the Sky Raiders Group.
Fingery and Luluwo also knew each other. He met Luluwo when he and Leon speculated that the 100 ways of the little boy's death were not right, but the way to save the little boy. He soon praised this woman who always found a new way to think of a wonderful way to solve the problem.
Luluwo also admired Fingri's sometimes serious and sometimes funny personality, so the relationship between the two was enough to be called friends, and recently there was a trend of developing into a bad friend.
No mistakes, one post, one content, one look!
"Well, although you may not believe it, I'm actually leaving and don't want to fight anymore."
Fingery was saying this, and suddenly a small meteorite passed by. Elsa's eyes suddenly became sharp, and she raised her hand to grab the small meteorite. As a result, she used too much force and caused the opponent's shell to shatter. The core of the small meteorite, that is, the body, fled towards Fingri.
"Got it."
Fingery grabbed the small meteorite and looked at it.
"Strange, why is the inside of this one red? I remember seeing it before was yellow."
The shells of these monsters are almost the same, but the colors inside are different. It's really strange.
"Do you want this?" Fingley couldn't help but sigh that the girl was so understanding when he noticed that she was staring at him. He then threw the little meteorite over and Elsa quickly caught it. Now she had two little meteorites in her arms.
"Thank you!"
The girl's thanks made Fingley even happier. He planned to chat with her. He lifted his hair and leaned against the wall in a very handsome pose. He was about to say something.
As a result, he jumped up in the next second because of the icy wall. His body kept shaking, declaring that he failed to show off.
"It's so cold. Ah, don't mind the little episode just now," he patted his arm that was leaning against the wall just now, and said, "By the way, you are Luluwo's friend, I have seen you several times, and I happen to be her good friend, and we have a good relationship."
Elsa looked at him with a softer look, not knowing whether it was because of Luluwo or because the failure of showing off just now was very funny.
"Do you like this kind of creature very much?" He was referring to the little meteorite, and deliberately did not call it a monster.
Elsa nodded and said, "Because they are cute."
Fingley suddenly thought of something and invited enthusiastically, "My team is going to the food area tomorrow. There are more cute little creatures there. Do you want to join us?"
Recently, Matilda has been unhappy because I wasted so many days on the little boy. If I can explore the dungeon with a stranger, Matilda will not be so mean to me in front of outsiders, right? This is what Fingerley thought, but he felt that Elsa might not agree.
"Okay, where do we meet tomorrow?"
Elsa nodded happily!
"Huh?"
The next day, Lake Lienia.
Fingley brought Matilda and Alaya to the huge bonfire in front of the academy, but saw Elsa waiting for a long time.
She is really active. Aren't you afraid that I will kidnap her?
"Let me introduce you." Fingerley introduced his partner to Elsa, and they knew each other.
"Let's go."
Elsa was about to walk towards the bonfire, but Fingri stopped her.
"Please wait a moment. Actually, some of my juniors haven't come yet. Can you wait for them first?"
"Okay, I'm not in a hurry." She found a place to sit down, looking quite well-behaved.
In fact, she ran away from the Light Eagle Corps secretly. After Eliphis came back yesterday, he locked himself in the house again and refused to see anyone. She didn't know what was going on. She didn't want to waste time in the camp, so she ran away secretly.
What happened that day seemed to be a big blow to Eliphis, even bigger than the blow he had when he faced the Overlord Wolnir before, making his whole mental state look wrong.
But no one knew why he became like this, after all, people didn't know that he was insulted by the ultimate.
If there was no brainwashing ability, it is estimated that some people would have been dissatisfied with this leader who frequently broke the defense. In fact, Elsa was like this, so she ran away.
After waiting for a long time, finally, the people of the Gu Zha team ran over in a panic, and the adventurers among them kept apologizing.
"Sorry, Brother Fingri! We are late because of some unexpected incident!"
"It doesn't matter, since we are here, let's go - wait, where is Tus?" Fingri raised his legs and was about to call everyone to go, but found that the bone-breaking team seemed to be missing a person, that is, the bearded Tus.
"The accident we are talking about is Brother Tus," people sighed and said, "It seems that his family is sick, and he has to stay at home to take care of people, so he can't come."
"Yes, it seems that his sister is sick, which is really strange. His sister is a maid in the palace, right? Is there no doctor in the palace to treat her?"
"Then let's bring him some comfort items when we go back."
Fingley said with concern, waved his hand, and walked towards the bonfire.
"Let's go!"
