my age of magic

Chapter 969 70. The Secret of the Sea Monster 2
Deep in everyone's heart, there is the darkest corner, where the most feared things are hidden.

Most people have an innate fear of spiders. They originally thought that since these two evil mages joined the monastery, they should have the consciousness to die for the monastery at all times, but they didn't expect them to be in front of giant spiders. , Fear caused the defense line in their hearts to collapse all of a sudden.

……

These giant spiders with eight spider legs cut off in an iron cage are like huge and disgusting meat eggs.

The way they eat is extremely terrifying. Generally speaking, they wrap their prey into a white silk cocoon, and then inject corrosive venom into the body of the prey, allowing the prey to turn into a pack of viscous nutrient solution in the silk cocoon. After a period of time, After settling down, the giant spiders stretched out a one-meter-long bone needle from their mouths, pierced into the silk cocoon, and sucked the nutrient solution inside the silk cocoon into their abdomen.

There are many ways to die, but this one, being cocooned into a white silk cocoon by a giant spider, is certainly gruesome.

Especially the statement that the soul will be imprisoned in a silk cocoon, I saw it in a miscellaneous talk, and there is still some evidence for its authenticity. I didn't expect these two evil mages to believe this statement to be true, so This sentence became the "last straw that broke the camel's back", causing their psychological defense to collapse completely.

I had the two evil mages separated, and asked them to tell me about Justus they knew.

……

There was a pot of hot tea on the table, and the evil mage Utley was sitting obediently on a chair with a teacup in his hands and a smock made of linen.

'grunt'

After taking a sip of warm tea, there was a trace of redness on his pale face. Utley squinted his eyes and stared at me, his eyes looked a little cloudy. He paused for a few seconds before asking me: "Do you want Know something?"

"From the beginning, I want to hear anything about Justus!" I told him.

Utley let out a long breath of stale air in his chest, sorted out his language a little, and then began to talk:
"Five years ago, we were ordered to come to the Vashj plane.

In order to find a magical potion formula called 'Rococo Flower', the headquarters of the Priory ordered us to come to Vashj from Emerald Bay in the province of Palestina, and a team of us dispersed and sneaked in. In every corner of Vashj's plane, people are asking around for the formula of this magic potion.

How much do you know about the 'Rococo Flower' magic potion?This is a magic potion formula handed down from the demons in hell.

For so many years, our organization has been devoting itself to the research of 'black magic'. Naturally, we will not miss the legendary 'Rococo potion' potion formula that appeared on the Vashj plane.

Fortunately, this magic potion formula has always been regarded as a very special perfume formula, and was preserved by a small lord on the Vashj plane. The father of this lord was also a magician.

The master magician once thought of preparing a bottle of 'Rococo Flower' perfume according to the formula of the potion, but unfortunately he was limited by the magic materials and could not collect enough 'devil's blood'. So I have never been able to make the 'Rococo Flower' potion..."

I interrupted him unceremoniously: "Wait a minute, the origin of the 'Rococo Flower' magic potion can be discussed later! If you have any chance to live, now I just want to hear about Justus matter."

A hand grabbed the hair of the evil mage Utley from behind and pulled him back.

His back hit the back of the chair hard, but the hand didn't stop, and the hand continued to pull Utley's hair, pulling his head slightly upward.

The evil mage Utley opened his mouth slightly, with a painful expression on his face.

"Be honest, don't play tricks, I don't have the patience to spend time here with you." Kalancuo warned the evil mage Utley coldly.

A look of panic appeared in the eyes of the evil mage Utley.

I waved my hand and signaled Kalancuo to take a step back, and she let go unwillingly and took a step back.

Utley was startled and confused. He adjusted the neckline of the smock, then stroked his chest with his hands, and took two deep breaths in a row to calm himself down as soon as possible.

Then he said to me: "Although what I said before is about the origin of the 'Rococo Flower' magic formula, it has something to do with the Justus you want to know, Your Excellency."

"In the past few years, we have been collecting all kinds of magic resources on the Vashj plane, and transported them back to Palestina Province through the portal of Galapagos. Vashj is a rich plane. In addition to the magic mines on each island, there are endless sea beasts hunting in the sea.

For a long time, countless merchant ships have been sailing in this sea area, but they have been harassed by pirates.

The Mensa family's military strength on the Vashj plane is limited, and those fleets have no way to launch a large-scale encirclement and suppression of the pirates.

Over the years, pirates have amassed a staggering fortune on the plane of Vashj.

Until a great pirate king appeared on the Vashj plane, he took all the pirate wealth into his own hands, and before he died, he hid this treasure in an unknown place. This treasure is called 'Pirate King's Treasure'.

The pirate king made a treasure map. He divided the treasure map into two and passed it on to his two sons in order to let his two sons work together. Not long after they died, the two sons had a quarrel because of this treasure map. Later, the two brothers did not hesitate to fight, just to fight for the other half of the treasure map.

This naval battle lasted for more than ten years, and finally the second son of the pirate king was finally defeated.

It is said that in order to win the naval battle, the eldest son of the Pirate King invited a powerful sea monster from the Vashj plane to help out. Whenever there was heavy fog on the sea, the sea monster would appear and confuse the Pirate King with his singing. The second son's sailors led their sailboats into the rocks, and the sailboats hit the rocks and sank.

I heard that the pirate king's second son also died in the hands of the sea monster, and the half of the treasure map was also snatched by the sea monster. Later, the sea monster disappeared with the treasure map.

In order to find the treasure, many pirates are looking for the whereabouts of the sea monster. We have only recently traced it to the island of dunai. Some people say that the sea monster has been dead for many years, but his descendants live incognito in dunai island.

And according to the information we got, Justus, the owner of the Thieves Guild Tavern on Dunay Island, is the descendant of the sea monster we are looking for. "

At this point, Utley stopped slowly.

I was a little curious and asked the evil mage Utley, "What did you ask from Justus?"

Utley didn't hide anything about this, and said to me: "This guy has been refusing to disclose any information, so we took a little trick. Unfortunately, before the trick worked, His Excellency came to the door."

I asked Utley again: "What is the so-called means in your mouth?"

Utley said to me: "We fed him a little potion containing 'devil's blood', which made him fall into a beautiful hallucination. If this thing is taken for a long time, it will form a kind of dependence and become addictive."

"Once he becomes addicted, it means that he has sold his soul to the devil. We hope to use the 'devil's blood' to make Justus succumb. After all, we need him to lead us to find the treasure."

"Counting it all together, he shouldn't be too far away from his first drug addiction attack."

I have seen the power of 'Devil's Blood' drug addiction, Su was almost destroyed by drug addiction because of taking the 'Shadow Body' potion.

Now it appears that the Priory of the Dark Arts also knows the evil of 'demon blood'.

Hearing this, I realized that the legend about the "Pirate King's Treasure" is actually true. If this is true, then the half treasure map we obtained from Captain Johnny Jones may be the one of the Pirate King's treasure. Half a treasure map... I have to say to myself: Jijia, you are a little too whimsical!
……

It's just that I don't understand why I asked the sailors on the 'Slave Trader', but none of the sailors told me the truth. Now it seems that they don't know the rumors of the sea monster, but they just refuse to tell That's all.

What makes me even more puzzled is that I also asked Earl Evan about the sea monster, and they also said they didn't know. What's going on?Ordinarily, they have no reason to hide the news of the sea monster from me.

So I asked Utley, "Why did I ask the sailors on the ship, and all of them said they never knew about the sea monster?"

Utley said to me without thinking: "That means there is only one possibility, that is, all the sailors on your ship are pirates."

"The secret of the Pirate King's treasure is only circulated among the pirates. The pirates don't want more people to know this secret. Of course, they will not tell outsiders about it. This is a rule that the pirates must always abide by."

"..." I was a little speechless, thinking that after returning to the 'Slave Trader', I must repair this group of cunning sailors, they are really tight-lipped!

In fact, what I don't understand is that after we came to Dunai Island, we hired Rita, a guide who is very familiar with Dunai Island. I originally wanted to get some news about the sea monster from her mouth, but she Not only did he not know, but he also took us to the tavern.

We inquired about the sea monster in the thieves' union in the tavern. I don't understand why even the thieves' union hid the truth from us.

So I asked Utley again: "Then why didn't I hear about the sea monster in the thieves' union in the tavern on Dunay Island!"

Utley said bluntly to me: "This is not difficult to explain, because the real owner of this pub is actually-Justus."

At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside the interrogation room. Kalantso walked to the door, and an orc warrior appeared at the door of the interrogation room, whispering something to Kalantso softly.

Kalancuo nodded slightly, but his expression remained unchanged.

After the orc warrior finished speaking, Kalancuo returned to my side, whispered in my ear and told me: "Justus's drug addiction has relapsed, do you want to go and have a look...".

……

When I walked to the stone room where Justus was convalescing, I found a dozen orc warriors standing outside the stone room, blocking the entrance of the stone room tightly.

It wasn't until Kalantso and I came over that the orc warriors made way for me and Kalantso to enter the stone room.

The first thing that caught the eye was the dilapidated and messy room, which was in a mess.

The overturned pottery pot fell into several broken pieces, and the ground was covered with fragments of the sheepskin mattress, which seemed to be torn apart by a huge force. In the corner, with a look of panic.

At this time, Justus was standing in the stone room, his face was pale and bloodless, his pupils showed a faint blue glow, and a thin layer of fish scales faintly appeared under the skin of his body, and On his arms, on both sides of his thighs, and on his spine, there were some bone spurs, and those bone spurs looked like fish scales.

Unexpectedly, Justus turned into a half-human, half-demon monster.

This time, it immediately verified what the evil mage Utley said just now. Justus is indeed a descendant of the sea monster, but it seems that part of his body still has human characteristics, but part of him also reveals the physical characteristics of the sea monster .

Justus looked a little crazy, and when he saw me push the door and walk in, he roared with hostility.

It can be seen that he has been working hard to restrain his drug addiction, and for this reason, he did not hesitate to turn into a half-human, half-demon state.

When he saw me, a tyrannical look flashed in his eyes, he roared, and rushed towards me with teeth and claws.

Before he rushed to my side, he was kicked flying by a big snow-white leg. This kick was so powerful that his body was uncontrollable, and he fell backwards. With a 'bang' sound, he hit his back On the stone wall.

It could be seen from the expression that Justus was in pain, and he wanted to find a way to vent it.

Seeing Kalantso walking up beside me, I took her arm and said to her, "Be careful, don't beat him to death. He was in very poor health before the onset of drug addiction."

Kalanzo nodded to me.

At this time, Justus struggled to stand up straight, and in an extremely uncomfortable state, he assumed a pounce posture.

Justus pounced on him again, like a ferocious beast. Driven by instinct, he wanted to throw Kalancuo down, but he underestimated the power of Kalancuo too much. At that moment, Kalantso rushed in front of him and slammed his shoulder into Justus' lower abdomen. Justus fell backward like a kite with a broken string.

Seeing Justus squatting in the corner panting non-stop, Kalancuo shouted to him: "Get up! Why, is this the only thing you can do? Aren't you a descendant of the so-called siren? Are you a descendant of the siren family?" Are all physically disabled like you?"

Hearing what Kalantso said, Justus's eyes flashed green, and he roared again, bounced off the ground like a cannonball, and rushed towards Kalantso, but Kalantso grabbed his arm sideways, A coherent over-the-shoulder throw threw Justus out again.

Justus' body stuck to the rocky ground, slid to the distance, and hit the stone wall with a 'bang'.
