The space that was supposed to be huge didn't leave much room for the giant thing in front of me to move. Probably as long as it flaps its wings, either its wings will be injured by hard objects around it, or a layer of the rock wall will be scraped off.
The pair of flat wings undulated slightly as if they were breathing, sprinkling fluorescent dots of scale powder from time to time. The scale powder that fell to the ground will be blown up again by the breeze caused by the fluctuation of the wings, causing the fluorescent scale powder to scatter everywhere in the cave, as if in a dream-like scene.
In addition, the six legs were firmly grasped on the ground, and the entire huge body was as motionless as a stone sculpture. Only the pair of tentacles on the head swayed left and right, shaking from time to time. But it seems that it doesn't have the cognitive impairment that would be most troublesome for someone; it couldn't be found before just because it was hiding underground.
When the cats arrive, the pair of tentacles replace the eyes and swing down. It's like looking at this group of little guests coming to it.
Suddenly, the huge pair of wings vibrated slightly and very quickly, making a sound that echoed in the cave. Walking at the front of the group of cats, the pure white long-haired cat sat down and meowed.
Sure enough, in someone's observation record, a conversation started between one large and one small child.
The white-haired cat said: "My king, I wish you peace." '
The Demon Moth King responded by flapping his wings and asked: 'Guardians. Why are you here? '
'King, we have finished wiping out the demons escaping outside. I also bring warriors who are willing to cross borders to save our people. Just waiting for your permission, we can start immediately. After the white-haired cat finished speaking, the other cats also meowed, as if in agreement.
'There are so many willing to take part. Moreover, the sealing barrier will be repaired at any time, and the two sides will be separated again. If you don't come back in time, you will have no choice but to be left in the abyss. You may have some enlightenment. ' said the Moth King.
'King, we have been prepared for this kind of awakening. 'The pure white long-haired cat lowered its head humbly and spoke of the family's determination. The cats also make the same movements and express the same thoughts.
"Then, this uninvited guest, why did you come to me?"
This is... the common language of the Lost World!
Not understanding why the king suddenly used human language, the cats looked around confusedly at their companions.
Knowing that he had been exposed rather than being blackmailed, Lin stepped out of the darkness. At least the other party acted like they wanted to talk to each other, instead of shouting and killing them as soon as they found out.
He walked carefully past the startled cats, warning himself not to step on any of them. After finally getting closer, Lin greeted you with the etiquette of a magician: "The king of the forest, the magician Guy Blasch Lin Tripwood, greets you."
"What's your purpose of coming, magician?" the Moth King asked again.
"Your Majesty, I am here to see if I can get the silk threads you spun to spin cocoons when you were in larval form? It could also be the threads spun by your descendants. If there is no such thing, I will Leave, keep everything here secret, and don’t disturb the peace here. Of course, I won’t take it in vain if I have it? But I hope this will be a fair transaction.”
Although I really want to flatter and flatter the other person first, make the other party feel happy, and then get down to business. But you can’t tell which one the other party will choose? On the other hand, bestiality itself is very good at grasping the speaker's emotions? Those who are proficient in it are like having their own lie detector. What if there's a conflict between what you say and what you say? I'm afraid there won't be anything to talk about later. That's why Lin got straight to the point and stated his destination.
Of course, the cats are unhappy with the interruption of someone's sudden appearance and the request to talk to them about an unrelated topic. In addition to making sharp meows in protest, some cats even used the common language of humans and warned with sour words.
It was not the first time that I had been verbally bullied, but it was really the first time that I had been bullied by a group of cats. Although a certain person has always prided himself on having an impeccable face, in this situation, he felt a little paralyzed.
Think about it not on the internet, but in reality. There are dangerous creatures that are hostile to him, all around him. Thinking back to the fact that I was worried about my luck in finding the target during my first ground reconnaissance, maybe my luck has been exhausted. The next development, someone's intuition is very bad.
Amidst the noisy cat meowing, the Demon Moth King suddenly flapped his wings. The wind pressure caused the scale powder scattered on the ground to blow high, and swept across the cats, causing them all to shut their mouths. At this time, the Demon Moth King continued to flutter his wings and speak in common language: "I do have what you want. But what price can you pay?"
"Please feel free to ask, Your Majesty. I will try my best to complete whatever I can do. If I can't do it, I will explain the detailed reasons. If possible, please change the conditions."
The pair of tentacles above his head swung back and forth, and the huge king in front of him said: "You heard the conversation between me and my guardians just now. What do you think?"
Is it too late to pretend not to know bestiality at this time? Someone has regrets in their heart. But he said: "Your Majesty, may I ask a few questions first to see if my understanding is correct."
"Just ask."
"Is there a gate to the abyss here?"
"Yes. This is one of the eight abyss gates in the Lost World."
really. Lin Xu asked: "Is it because it can't be closed for some reason? Or is it because no one went to the other side to help close it?"
"It is impossible for the two worlds to be completely isolated. That would be the same as self-destruction. All I can do is to guard this place so that the residents of the Abyss cannot freely travel between the two places, and also to prevent the residents of the Lost Land from straying into it. .”
This is the first time someone has heard such a statement. It seems that there are still many secrets in this world that I don't know yet. Letting go of this point for the moment, Lin continued to ask: "Then the barrier you mentioned, I guess it has something to do with His Majesty."
"Yes, that barrier was set up by me. It was placed on the gate of the abyss, separating the two worlds. But the stability of the barrier will change with my strength. When I am weak, Sometimes, some powerful demons will still attract my attention if they want to pass through, but if they are too weak, they may be ignored by me. So at this time, I have to rely on the guardian family to assist me and maintain the isolation between the two worlds. .”
When talking about the Guardian clan, the cats raised their heads proudly and flicked their tails.
"Are there people like you in the eight gates?"
"Yes, some are on this side of the door and some are on the other side of the door."
Having heard enough secrets about the world, Lin asked about something that might very well happen to him. "Then how did that cat get to the other side?"
"Maybe there is a demon who took advantage of my weakness and found a loophole in the barrier, came to this side, and captured Mao Ni who might be moving nearby."
Another possibility that the Demon Moth King in front of him didn't mention was that the cat ran over on its own. Anyway, there is no point in worrying about the reason. Lin asked another very practical question: "What is so important about that cat that it must be rescued?"
I originally thought that such a question might arouse the anger of all the cats present. But unexpectedly, they said as if they were used to it: "If anyone is lost on the other side, go and find it. Do you need any special reason?" ''Isn't it common to get lost over there? ''Speaking of which, who organized an expedition last time, found a hole in the barrier, and went to the other side to play. ''By the way, it's not like someone ran to the other side and never found it. '...
Although he didn't know if all the compound eyes of this demon moth king were facing him, Lin had the feeling of being speechless as he stared at this big moth. Can't we find a group of more reliable guardians?
Finally, it was the demon moth king who said: "Mao Ni is tentatively the next witch priest. I have taught it how to control the barrier. If it falls into the hands of demons with evil intentions, they can use me to enter reincarnation. During the window period after reincarnation, I destroyed the barrier and invaded the mysterious land. At that time, the guardians alone could not stop the demon army. Moreover, there was not much time left before I laid the eggs, and I was entering reincarnation. At this stage, to wake me up from the egg, a witch priest is also needed. The current shaman priest is old and I don’t have time to teach the next one, so there must be preparations."
Listening to this, it is entirely possible that the cat found a loophole in the barrier and ran to the other side... This made someone feel like he didn't want to take on this task.
But now it seems that this demon moth king has a serious mission. If you know where the thing in its mouth is, you can just steal it yourself. If you want to follow the method of defeating monsters and grabbing treasures, you may run into big problems. If you can't get hard, you can only get soft. So Lin confirmed: "So what does Your Majesty want me to do to trade for the silk cocoons I need?"
"Please go to the other side and find Mao Ni. Assuming that Mao Ni is unfortunately killed, please bring back conclusive evidence. As long as you can do any of these two points, I can bring back all my reincarnations. , the remnants of the silk cocoons made by the larvae, I will give you a piece. You must know that when I break out of the cocoon, most of the silk cocoons will be dissolved or eaten by me. Those that can be preserved cannot be eaten by me. The essence of your own destruction. Any piece should be at least about the same size as you."
"Okay, Your Majesty, I accept this condition. I just want to ask one more question, why are you looking for me?" Lin asked curiously. Giving out tasks at will is something you only see in RPG games.
The reality in Lost Land is that if you want to obtain a task commission from the Adventurer's Guild or the Mercenary Guild, you not only have to prove that you can do it, but you also have to prove that you are a suitable candidate. Otherwise, why would the client trust a stranger casually.
As for how to prove yourself, you actually need to start with small tasks in the guild and continue to accumulate your achievements and reputation. Then as long as the adventurer or mercenary meets the requirements of the client, the guild will act as a guarantor, making the adventurer or mercenary qualified to carry out the mission.
So this big moth, which had lived for an unknown number of years, issued a mission inexplicably when it first met him. Someone may also worry about whether the other party has other intentions.
"If you can hide from them and follow me here, I believe there will be no more suitable candidate than you."
