Demon Lord

As the lowest species in the demon army, the infected beast itself has a very strong ability to survive. After feeding on different species, infected animals will undergo different changes, so if older infected animals are in different regions, they will almost have very different appearances.

The specimen in front of them is a mummified infected beast that has been evaporated to dryness by spells. Talia and Nefer were taken aback by the hideous expression of the demon behind the glass, because the other party opened its mouth wide and looked over. Seeing the two rows of triangular-shaped teeth on display, and the dry skin on both sides with gill-shaped gaps, at first glance it looks like some kind of shark with legs.

Huh, is this an infected beast? It's much bigger than I imagined...

Nafi almost moved her face to the glass, but she didn't hear Talia's reply for a few seconds. She turned her head and asked, What's the matter? What are you thinking?

When she asked this sentence, Talia stared at the Infected Beast in a daze, her hands were trembling slightly, and some strange emotions were surging in her heart—she wanted to raise her hand and touch the Infected Beast’s overhead.

At this moment, Talia didn't notice that Nefei's right hand had been put into her side pocket, and the dozen or so seemingly unrelated figures passing by on the surrounding streets all slowed down...

Talia?

ah?

She finally came back to her senses, and turned her head suddenly, I, I... I seem to remember something just now...

What's going on? Is there a sound?

No, I just had some strange thoughts in my mind, and I wanted to reach out to touch it. Talia said, shaking her head, and looked down at her palm: But I can't remember the reason, I don't seem to have seen this before. Things, except I saw pictures in newspapers - this thing is not from the demon plane...

Having said that, she froze abruptly.

Naifei in front of him looked serious: Maybe... this is also the performance of being affected?

possible.

Talia was a little apprehensive, but she didn't realize at all that if she had acted more aggressively just now, she might have been controlled by overwhelming spells at this time.

But now it was obvious that they hadn't reached that point, Naifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, and chatted about other topics.

But without saying a few words, a team suddenly passed by. There was the sound of prayers being recited, and the other people around seemed to be quieter, and some even stopped and walked to pay attention. Naifei and Talia also looked at the past,

It was found that this was a Rosaceous Cross team all wearing robes.

Today is the routine Mass in the Square of the Rose Cross. This team should have finished the ceremony and is on the way back to the church. There are about fifteen people in front and back. Among them are priests who are dressed in blue and white like Sally. There was a bishop, and several female figures dressed slightly differently.

Seeing this situation, many believers saluted respectfully, and even some pious ones knelt on the ground and recited prayers in a low voice.

But Talia stared at the figures in black and white robes in the team—because the four accompanying women were the priests of the Tuk tribe from the country of Eska!

They now have doctrinal exchanges and discussions in the Rosicrucian. After coming to Houllier City, they have been diligently adapting to the life here, and earnestly participated in every religious activity.

At this time, these Tuke priests were reciting prayers seriously and walking forward, completely ignoring Talia standing in the corner. But the latter noticed these people and was obviously stunned.

That's the priest of the Rosary Cross. I've seen it elsewhere.

Seeing her staring, Naifei quickly said: There are people everywhere in Houlier City. The skin of these priests is really white. Look at that guy over there, he's as black as a bear.

But these words did not bring Talia back to her senses as usual. She stared blankly at the backs of those priests, always feeling a strange sense of familiarity—even the sound of prayers floating in the air made her feel peaceful.

Talia didn't know the reason, she turned her eyes to the ground under her feet, trying to recall the details deep in her mind, but suddenly, a strange force almost completely controlled her body from top to bottom.

Talia?

Naifei asked another question from the side. Talia wanted to answer, but then found that she couldn't even open her mouth, and couldn't even turn her head. It reached the point where her fingertips were trembling, but her body remained motionless, and then...she felt her face turn in another direction bit by bit.

Talia, are you listening to me?

Naifei didn't notice the strangeness at all. Seeing her turn her head slowly, staring directly at the infected beast, she said: We have a lot of opportunities to see this thing, let's go to Master Ethan first—Talia...Tari Ya?

At this time, Talia was leaning forward, her head was getting closer and closer to the window. Nai Fei finally realized that something was wrong, and quickly reached out to grab her, because if she didn't grab her, Talia's head might break the glass directly.

hiss--

Taking a sharp breath, Talia felt that the power finally disappeared in an instant. Her body, which was struggling so hard, went limp instantly, and she leaned directly into Nefei's arms. After that, he hurriedly asked anxiously: What's going on? What happened?

It's that guy... I was just controlled, controlled...

Talia's face was pale, her legs were weak, and she said in a low voice, Go! Get out of here...I feel like this has something to do with that demon!

Naifei didn't talk nonsense when she heard the words, and immediately helped her away from the street—and after they left, an old man standing in front of the newsstand with a pipe in his hand slowly raised his head.

Krups narrowed his eyes, slightly relieved.

He didn't tidy up, but just followed up with steps, and the group of unremarkable crowds followed Nefer and Talia from all directions...

After Naifei came to the hotel and greeted Master Ethan, he helped the pale Talia into the room. Because of the high cost of the room, the two of them lived in the same room—and Naifei was obviously worried about her condition. After pouring water for Talia, she asked, Do you feel better now?

Talia was shaking all over, not because of the pain, but because of the fear of the irresistible force—she was very afraid that she would lose control of her body, and her hands were still trembling at this time : ...I, I'm afraid that I will suddenly lose control. Just now you and I couldn't control ourselves at all. Will we just...

Don't panic, don't panic.

Nai Fei comforted in a low voice: Master Ethan is going to hand in the magic circle later, let's go there together and ask where to go for treatment of this symptom, okay? Look out the window—the possible number of mages around us Hundreds, I saw the Dragon Clan just now, it must be fine, trust me.

After hearing this, Talia also knew that it was useless for her to be simply afraid. She took a few deep breaths, nodded and agreed.

Both of them breathed a sigh of relief, Naifei picked up the free newspapers on the table and looked through them, and Talia began to simply arrange the salutes she brought. But within a few minutes, she heard Nefei scream: Look at this!

What's wrong?

Thalia leaned over and glanced at the newspaper, with a look of excitement on her face...
