Another World's Palm Spider

Not long after the clock struck midnight, a carriage drove out silently from the East District of Wangcheng.

The carriage that had been silenced slowly passed through the shadows of the various buildings in the royal city like a ghost, miraculously avoiding all the patrolling guards, and finally, the carriage stopped close to it without attracting anyone's attention. In the shadow of an alley next to a certain house in the southwest area of ​​Wangcheng.

And this location happened to be a blind spot on the patrol route of the guards that they would never pay attention to.

After the carriage stopped, the driver did not get out of the carriage immediately, but turned around and opened the door and sat in the carriage. After doing all this, he reached out and pulled off the hood covering his head, revealing the The iconic brilliant blond hair and blue eyes—it is His Royal Highness the Prince of the Orac Empire, Byron Hearst.

This explained why he was able to avoid the patrolling guards all the way to this place, and he was able to clearly know where the carriage was most safely hidden.

There was no light in the carriage, and he looked out through the front window.

Walking a little further in the direction facing the alley is the entrance of the Wangcheng Dungeon. Looking from where Byron is, you can still vaguely see the light of the torches inserted obliquely on the wall on both sides of the entrance of the Wangcheng Dungeon.

"...Sword, Master Swordsman," Byron sat in the carriage for a few minutes, and then swallowed his saliva, feeling that he was probably the little spider Megne who had been forgotten, and asked Byron tremblingly: " That... don't we go in??"

It never thought that facing this blond human being alone would feel so oppressive without the presence of the boss. It may be because of being restrained in attributes, or it may be intimidated by the opponent's aura. Being together is uncomfortable all over, and I can't wait to go back to my boss's side right away.

With a gentle smile on Byron's face, he said something cruel to Mene's ears: "Well, don't go in."

Mo Ne: "..." Then why are you here! ?The boss is still waiting for it to go back!

Thinking of the strange look of the boss before it left, Meine was a little worried. Although it was pleasantly surprised and admirable to see the boss transform into a human form before, it is clear that the shape of the main body can make the younger brother more It has a desire to get closer, but it just doesn't know what's wrong with the boss that makes it look weird like that.

"Then, since Lord Swordsman won't go in—" it went in first to see how the boss is doing.

The little spider Qiqi Ai Ai had just spoken halfway, and Byron seemed to know what it wanted to do, and turned his face and said, "No."

Just when Byron said these three words, a small amount of light elements suddenly gathered in the dark environment in the carriage, forming a circle and encircling the little spider in the middle—"What are you doing!" Mu Nie was dumbfounded, and began to struggle vigorously, but within a few strokes, he was languid under the influence of his attributes.

The small imprisoning magic that the human swordsman cast instantly made it pinned in place before he could even react. Because the current size is not big, Byron didn't have many light elements to imprison it. This level of light magic can't hurt it, but it's enough to make it uncomfortable.

No creature with a dark attribute would be able to stay alive and kicking under close contact with the opposing elements—unless it was strong enough, a king-level monster like the boss could do it.

Under the shackles of a circle of light elements, Meine became more listless, and the small black eyes on the white body stared closely at the blond human in front of him.

Facing the little spider whose hair was blown up because of being surrounded by light elements, Byron didn't know what he thought of, the smile on his face deepened a little bit, and he began to smooth his hair with a very happy look: "Don't worry, I It won't hurt you, but you have to wait here with me."

The little spider immediately asked unfriendlyly: "What are you waiting for?"

Byron didn't answer, and the way he smiled and said nothing made Megne feel a little flabbergasted. Seeing Byron's expression, the little spider also knew that the idea of ​​it going in to accompany the boss must be useless, so it simply hung down its eight-legged costume. die.

The little spider floating in the carriage with a ring of light elements looked like a strange mushroom. Even Byron, who had a very good concentration, couldn't hold it back. From time to time, he reached out and poked the circle around it. Light Elemental, and watched it swing around in the carriage with a smile on its face.

But most of the time, Byron still focused his attention on the entrance of the dungeon in the royal city directly opposite the alley.

Mo Ne didn't understand what the human swordsman in front of him wanted to do. After hearing what it said, he drove a carriage to the outside of the dungeon of the king's city, but he didn't do anything after arriving, and he didn't allow it to do anything Move, but also use the light element to imprison it and play with it like this!

This human being is clearly not a good person, why is the boss treating him so well!What on earth is he trying to do!

The more the little spider thought about it, the more unhappy he became, but there was nothing he could do, so he just floated in the carriage all night, and spent the long night with Byron, staring and waiting for the first rays of sunshine at dawn.

Mo Ne felt that the whole spider was not well, its body was numb after being tied up by the light element all night, and it didn't know how long it would stay like this - it just thought so when it heard the human swordsman beside it grow He let out a long sigh of relief and smiled as if relieved from a heavy burden.

"Okay," he said, "let's go in and get your boss out."

...?

Why is this person so strange.

Although he didn't understand why he had to wait until dawn the next day to say that he was going to enter the dungeon of Wangcheng, but he said that it would be the best news if he could get the boss out!Mene put aside what he thought were not important issues, and looked at Byron excitedly.

Byron waved away the circle of light elements around the little spider, and let it hide in a fold of his clothes casually. Then he regained his energy, got out of the carriage, and walked towards the dungeon of the royal city.

As the last important link counted by Byron, the Wangcheng Dungeon can still be regarded as his territory to some extent.

The dungeon of the king's city in Aurak has a history of thousands of years. During this period, due to various reasons, it has undergone countless renovations and expansions. The long years have caused the area of ​​the entire dungeon to spread beyond the coverage of the king's city.Because it is located underground and holds all kinds of prisoners all year round, the Wangcheng Dungeon has become the place where the dark side is most likely to breed and attract dark creatures in the entire Wangcheng.

As the hinterland of the Orac Empire, Glarui has numerous defenses throughout the city, and even the city itself and the main buildings have built a huge protective circle, but there is no way to control it when it expands beyond the royal city, so After realizing that there were loopholes in the dungeon's security, the royal family, the ministers, and the church made a discussion and finally decided to set up a separate defense in the dungeon of the king's city and set up a very large protective barrier of the light system.

From the day when the protective barrier was established, the church has been responsible for guarding and regularly inspecting the barrier. The church will send three priests to inspect the dungeon of the royal city every month. This practice has continued until several years ago. After Byron, who was a royal family, was established as a member of the God of Light, the church handed over this matter to Byron.

There is no other reason. It is that the perception of light barriers by the members of the God of Light is far superior to that of the priests of the church. At the same time, combined with Byron's status as a royal family, he has become the best candidate for regular inspections of protective barriers. ——As well-known guardians of the barrier, the guards in the dungeon of King City have become accustomed to Byron's regular reports.

But getting used to it is one thing, superficial skills still have to be done properly, a group of guards saluted and picked two people to follow His Royal Highness, but after being politely rejected, they all returned to their respective posts without any surprise—they Every time His Royal Highness the prince comes back, he walks around the prison alone and then leaves. It would be wrong for him to have someone follow him someday.

Byron entered the dungeon from his usual walking route. After he was out of sight of the guards, he turned around and found the cell where Aize was held in the direction given by the little spider earlier.

In fact, judging from the fact that this guy was thrown into the dungeon by the eldest lady of the San Lorgar family, and stayed in the prison for a whole night without the little spider by his side without any movement, what exactly is Aize? The situation Byron felt he could have guessed.

However, when Byron really saw that the one locked in the cell was not Ai Ze who looked at him with pitiful eyes in his imagination, but a spider with eight legs stiff and lying on the ground, Byron Lun suddenly felt that he was still too naive—he couldn't even raise his guard when he saw such a tiny spider lying on his feet with stiff feet!

... Well, at least the pitiful look in his eyes was no different from what he thought.

It was Mo Ne who spoke first, and the little spider saw that the boss who was standing still when it left was actually lying on the ground with stiff legs, and was shocked: "Boss, what's wrong with you!!!"

Ai Ze, who felt ashamed that he had been thrown at his grandma's house, was speechless: "..."

He didn't make a little spider at all, and he left for one night. What is the reason, but in line with the principle that it is better to ask for others than to ask for oneself, Ai Ze started to get familiar with his spider-shaped body in the cell no matter how much he wondered. The worst possibility, if he really can't wait for his younger brother to bring Byron, or if there are guards approaching here before then, he won't just sit still—as for the gap between the railings and the gap in his own size... …

According to the original book, the size of the ghost spider should be very large, right?How is he so small?Or did he change into this short and small figure because he wanted to come and go freely like Meine...?

It doesn't matter, anyway, as long as I want to go out now, this level of railing gap feels squeezed and squeezed is still feasible ==

So, when the brainwaves of Byron and Aize were completely out of tune, one side stayed vigilant all night outside the dungeon of Wangcheng, and the other stayed in the dungeon of Wangcheng...practicing walking all night.

In fact, a certain bastard was still standing half an hour ago, but the amount of exercise even if he just walked around in the cell overnight was overloaded for Ai Ze. Discovered an even more tragic fact——

He couldn't "sit" down and rest like Meine, hey!

What, it means that it is too difficult to bend the eight legs down!How on earth did that guy Meine do such a difficult move? ! !

In short... in the process of trying to sit down... a certain bastard tripped himself for the nth time, and Ai Ze, who was broken and broken, just lay flat on the ground.It's like this anyway, so just lie down and take a rest, and then get up again after a while.But he didn't expect that when Ai Ze was lying in this state, he heard approaching footsteps.

Aize panicked at once, and wanted to struggle to get up, but the more anxious he was, the weaker his eight legs became, so Byron and Moine saw the scene ahead.

A certain bastard glanced at the blond swordsman standing outside the prison cell. The blue pupils of the other party were covered with a light purple circle under the reflection of the fire, and there was no expression on his face.

Byron: "...get up."

Aize's first reaction was to cover his face, but he immediately realized that his slender forelimbs could not cover his current face even if he could cover his face, so he could only try to stand up—— Knowing whether there is motivation when there is pressure or whether he has practiced all night and still has some results, he actually performed beyond the standard and stood up very smoothly!

Byron watched the swift and sharp movements of the black spider in the cell. He first observed Aize's body shape at the moment, and then looked at the size of the fist between the cell railings. He raised his eyebrows: "Get smaller and come out by yourself." .”

Ai Ze: "..." If you could get smaller, you wouldn't be able to see me long ago.

Seeing that Ai Ze remained silent and did not move, Byron immediately understood that this guy might not be able to do it, and his eyes fell on the pile of clothes on the ground: "Change back?"

Ai Ze: "..." If I can change back, why am I still tossing about here...

Seeing this, the blond swordsman smirked: "So you can't shrink or change back?"

Aize nodded sadly.

Then Byron fell silent——is the spider standing obediently in the cell in front of him really the extremely ferocious ghost spider in the legend?That king-level monster? ? ?

Just this guy who can't stand up well and stands with his legs crossed on the right back? ? ?

...It seems that he still overestimated this guy, let's stop here for probing and so on, this is really... No high-level monster is as stupid as Aize to the point of pity.

Just like what Ai Ze showed, all kinds of unsightly behaviors on the way from the mountain city to the king's city are indeed his nature.

It's just that in this way, there is a problem that cannot be explained.

After clearly understanding what kind of character Aize is, Byron focused all his attention on one point at the moment: there were indeed countless human corpses in the Nether Spider's lair they had been to. If he hadn't If I remember correctly, when Ai Ze appeared in front of him for the first time, he was quite frightened by those mummies, but Ai Ze's body is the ghost spider...

Does he feel scared when he sees the human beings he has sucked up?is it possible?

The images of the rumored ferocious ogre and Aize in front of him cannot be equated at all, but if they are not equal, what does it mean—the rumored ghost spider and Aize in front of him are really Is it the same entity?Or is there something else tricky?

Could it be related to the identity of the underworld god's family members...?

Probably aware of the suspicion in his eyes, Aize, who was in the form of a spider in front of him, finally spoke the first sentence since they met today: "I practiced all night! I can walk well!"

——The voice is indeed Ai Ze's, that's right, it sounds like this guy's tone is quite indignant, but...

Byron's eyes were a little unpredictable: "Then you take two steps back and let me see?"

Ai Ze raised his chest when he heard the words, and was about to present the results of a night of serious practice again, but in the next second, this foot tripped over that foot, chirped, and fell to the ground N+1 times.

Byron: "..."

Aize: "..."

The little spider expressed that he couldn't stand it any longer, and stepped forward: "Boss, look at me! I'm getting bigger like this! I'm getting smaller like this! It's very simple, just follow me!" As he spoke, he controlled his body to grow bigger and bigger like this. It became smaller again, and looked at Ai Ze with extremely expectant eyes while getting bigger and smaller.

Ai Ze thinks that the whole spider is bad—do you think it's radio gymnastics? I still follow you!

Be your sister!

Ai Ze, who was enthusiastically made up by his younger brother, almost wanted to dig a hole to bury this idiot in it, but he obviously didn't have the ability now, so he could only stand up hard again.

Byron, who had been standing outside the cell until now, suddenly sighed with unknown meaning, squatted down and stretched out his hand towards Ai Ze: "Come here."

Hearing this, Ai Ze moved over stiffly, and then felt his waist being gently pinched by Byron, and lifted him up.A certain bastard trembled all over, only to hear Byron's gentle and gentle voice coming from above: "Relax, draw your legs back."

Byron stretched out his other hand while talking, and the eight legs were gently manipulated into a curled up posture. In the end, he was held by Byron, and he was carefully pulled out from the gap between the railings, and then hid into his broad cloak.

Only then did Aize's head full of question marks appear—he turned into a living spider in prison and couldn't turn back. Although he couldn't tell what Byron was thinking, it seemed that he wasn't angry...?

And what happened after a whole night to show up? ?

Through a small gap in front of the cloak, Ai Ze saw that his little brother was putting the clothes spread out on the floor in his cell into the space and then quickly crawling out... Go back and ask this guy what happened that night .

After hiding Aize, Byron turned around and walked deeper into the dungeon—although he was just making an excuse to come in and get Aize out, but since he used this excuse, the inspection work must be done before he can go out.

His Royal Highness, who hadn't closed his eyes all night, yawned imperceptibly, and began to carefully inspect every barrier formation point in the dungeon.

Neither he nor Aize in his arms knew that on the night they left, something terrible happened in the house under Byron's name in the eastern residential area of ​​Wangcheng.
