Eco roughly sorted out the extent of the losses in the laboratory, walked up to Mo Bei and the others with a dark face, and proposed to use the corpses of these assassins to breed new spiderlings.
Mo Beiben also had this idea, so naturally he wouldn't refuse it. He even pointed at the pile of equipment and asked Eco if he wanted to pick some to arm himself.
Eco took off his old, battered leather robe and revealed the extended-level ghost armor he was wearing inside. It was of gold quality and had pretty good attributes.
"Wearing the equipment means I can take two more hits. My arms and legs are a little stiff now, and my reactions are far worse than before. I can't exert much combat effectiveness."
He pinched his shoulders and sighed sadly at the influence that time and living habits had unknowingly had on him.
Mo Bei saw that he and Kane were about the same age, but although Kane, who was running around all year round, looked skinny and rickety, he was much tougher than Eco.
Although I haven't seen him do anything with my own eyes, he must be very strong if he can escape from that mysterious shelter unscathed.
It seems that even if people in this world live longer and are less troubled by illness, their physical condition will still deteriorate.
Just like the world before he traveled, there were also 60-year-old old people, some carrying cages and staggering gaits, and they lived an 80-year-old life ahead of schedule.
Some of them can't tell their actual age at all. Not only are they walking fast, they even have a strong physique that puts young people to shame.
Naturally, there are factors affecting different physiques, but they are not all. Too lazy living habits will indeed accelerate a person's aging process.
Eco has been immersed in various researches for a long time and has no time to care about. Not only his physical condition, but also his awareness of combat is also very lax. Otherwise, if he had kept the giant spiders on alert for a while, he might not be able to care about anything else today. Will not get hurt. . .
Anna and Vivian, who have very different personalities but are equally curious, have also heard Milor explain how Eco tamed spiders. The situation in the Spider Forest has not yet spread in Lugaoyin, so they both feel very novel.
Especially when I saw that several giant spiders were actually equipped with saddles on their backs, and found that such ferocious and ugly looking creatures could actually be ridden, I couldn't help but be eager to try it.
But they also saw that Eco was beating her chest in pain because all the unhatched spider eggs were lost. They also knew that it would be difficult to cultivate this spider, so they did not have any extravagant hopes and teased several giant spiders with interest. Then he said goodbye and left under the leadership of Locke.
More than a dozen members of the Iron Wolf Guards were setting up a new outpost nearby. Mo Bei felt that this could be regarded as a way to make up for the situation. It could not be ruled out that there were still people who could pose a threat to Eco, and it was still necessary to remain vigilant.
With the iron wolves as guards, he felt that there was no need to guard here anymore, so he went to the water prison again, hoping to get first-hand information from Altu.
There were several corpses with incomplete limbs in the stone room of the water prison. Artu extracted the souls of more than a dozen people in succession, but it seemed as if he himself had been drained dry.
The overdraft of his mental energy made his face turn pale, and beads of sweat kept appearing on his forehead, but he still couldn't rest. He was sitting at the small wooden table that the Iron Wolves temporarily found for him, sorting out various memory fragments.
Mo Bei glanced at the dozens of corpses that seemed to have been dead for many days, and was a little curious about what it was like to use this method. With so many memories pouring into his mind, wouldn't it have an impact on consciousness?
He would not choose this time to go to Altu for help. Instead, he took out a clean cup, poured some herbal tea and placed it on the small wooden table in front of Altu.
Artu glanced at him approvingly, picked up the cup and drank it all in one gulp, obviously very thirsty. It seemed that because he had to deal with a large number of memory fragments, he even temporarily ignored his various feelings.
Just after taking a long breath, he saw Mo Bei hand over a pipe filled with tobacco. The pipe looked new. The old man's eyes were filled with joy. He took it happily and held it in his mouth honestly, letting it go. Mo Bei helped him light the fire.
Just like he treated old men like Eco, who were proficient in all aspects of skills, Mo Bei was also very polite to Altu.
It is said that having an old man in the family is like having a treasure. The contribution of these old men to the human community is not much less than that of the people fighting outside.
As the clicking sound came out, wisps of white smoke exhaled from the old man's mouth and nose, and the tired look on his face eased slightly.
After Mo Bei finished all this, he silently took out his shield, placed it on the ground, and sat down cross-legged against the wall.
Altu looked at him and smiled, without saying a word. He smoked his pipe and entered a state of concentration again, recording some useful information in the notebook in front of him from time to time.
After waiting for more than half an hour, the pipe in Altu's hand was extinguished, but he sighed in his nose, looked at Mo Bei and said:
"None of these people have probably entered the stronghold. They used to meet with members of the Wizarding Association outside."
This is the thing they are most concerned about right now. If they can find the location of the stronghold through the memories of these people, they may be able to eradicate these people once and for all.
But the result made them all feel a little disappointed. They only determined that the stronghold should be somewhere in the ruins of Kurast City. However, the area of the ruins of Kurast City was several times larger than that of the Lost City, and the urban structure was more complex.
After all, as the capital of Kejistan during its heyday and prosperity, all kinds of materials came from all over the place and there were countless people. The scale of the city was not comparable to that of Aranok City, which was built in the middle of the desert as a transit station.
Going deep into every corner of the ruins or searching for the gathering point of wizards underground is a difficult and dangerous process. If there is too much noise and they cannot be found in time, they will be alerted and asked to evacuate in advance.
"Then capture a few members of the Wizarding Guild alive. They should know the location of the stronghold, right?" Mo Bei said.
Altu nodded slightly:
"That's a way. There's another thing that I think we should pay attention to. They are looking for the legendary Book of Blue Ethan and want to find more ways to suppress the harbor."
"They also know about the Book of Lan Ethan?"
"About this book, it's widely circulated, so it's not unusual to know about it."
"Oh... that's right." After Mo Bei said this, he felt more and more urgent.
The Wizards' Association must have been reminded by the harbor's control of giant spiders, and they want to find a way to crack it, or even replace the giant spider's control. If they really gain access to the black book first, it will really be troublesome. It's also a loss for them.
Perona has been coveting the black book for a long time. If it is taken into the inventory by a member of the Witcher Guild who has killed a thousand swords, then there is basically no possibility of snatching it back.
Judging from the news that came back in the past, these people do not often appear within the Kurast ruins. Perhaps this is because rabbits do not eat the grass beside their nests and consciously provide cover for their strongholds.
But after all, they were closer to those hidden temples, so they couldn't waste any more time and should take action as soon as possible.
Thinking of this, he briefly discussed with Altu, then stood up and walked out of the water prison.
