MTL - Dawn of the Grey Tower-Chapter 6 capture
Gloria felt very hungry. At the same time she was wondering if she still had the ability to feel hungry. Pain, indescribable pain tormented her day and night, it felt like every bone in the body, every muscle was being twisted and pulled by force. Under such painful torture, Gloria was completely unable to control herself. She clearly realized that she was gradually becoming a beast under the pressure of pain, but she was helpless. Gloria curled up in the hole, surrounded by animal bones and frozen body fluids. Three days, if someone said that three days can turn a beautiful and healthy woman into a monster, Gloria will only treat it as a horror story, but now, the story has happened to herself.
She has forgotten many things, but fortunately she still remembers her name, Gloria von Saron, the third daughter of Earl of Saron, and the youngest child. As a heir to a party lord, Gloria's life had no troubles until ten days ago. Plague, this term has always been missed by the Earl of Salon in the north. The cold and long winter can let most infectious diseases dissipate between the ice and snow. However, it broke out. At first, it was the hunter and farmer on the edge of the territory. The blocked traffic in the Middle Ages made it difficult for Earl of Salon to understand the movement of his territory in the first place. So when the first batch of infected people appeared in the valley city, the capital of the Earl's Earl, in fact the entire Earl's Earl was already seriously ill. Those infected will initially have a fever, unconsciousness, and pain. They will have black spots on their bodies, and the spots will become black tumors. The tumors burst and emit a brown-green foul pus. And if it is just that, or that this plague is only the ultimate death, then the young lady who lives in the castle like Gloria will not be too dangerous. However, as the chief scholar in the territory said, in many cases, death is not the worst ending.
Gloria remembered that even under great pain she would not forget those eyes, those long and narrow, with dark green eyes shining in the dark, one-on-one, in the darkness, in the faint light of the torch The next person feels terrified from the bottom of my heart. Perhaps this is why the earl-ranked warrior, the chief knight of the lord, finally can only let Gloria escape. Gloria still doesn't know what those eyes belong to. But she knew that no matter what those things were, she was slowly becoming those things.
"Ke ...... slightly ..." opened his eyes under the instinct, and his eyes seemed to be covered with a green film, and everything was grotesque and blurred under the distortion of this film. Correspondingly, Gloria's sense of smell has become extremely sharp. Even she has an illusion that even if she closes her eyes and depends on her ears and nose, she will not hit anything. The smell of blood, the smell of decay, the smell of snow, and the sour smell from his own, these tastes let Gloria rather lose his sense of smell forever.
Hungry, the most primitive instinct drove her to get up from the cave where she was hiding, and her sharp nails crossed the stone to make an eerie sound. Look for anything to eat, those with body temperature, anything.
………………
The sun is going down, and the cheese stands in the snow, watching the sun that is about to fall into the mountains. The cold wind doesn't seem to want to rest with the sun, but it gets worse. In the night of Longji Mountain, no one wants to leave the area of the town after nightfall, and those farmers also rushed the animals to the shed early, and then they returned to the warm room. In the past three days, the cheese hasn't really thought about the theft of animals. For him, the criticism of the town people and the complaints of the proprietress are far less important than the teacher's trial. However, now that he has found a close connection between the two, the mage has to deal with this matter seriously.
After an afternoon visit, the cheese probably determined the location of the lost animal. Combined with the guess in his brain, he felt that he should face a beast, at least a beast in behavior. Since it is a beast, there must be a nest, and combined with the size of the lost animal, the mage can also speculate about the range of activity of this hungry creature. Now, all he had to do was wait patiently, waiting for the beast to get out of his den under the urge of hunger. The cold wind and ice and snow can't block the mage's sight. As long as he wants, he can even sense the location of the hibernating snake under the snow. So the cheese believes that he will never miss the opportunity to catch.
coming!
Opened and closed his eyes, the cheese silently took off his gloves. Although the thick leather can bring good warmth, it also reduced the mage's casting speed. Faced with this type of enemy, cheese needs to make the most of every moment. He took out a sheepskin kettle from his arms with one hand, gestured a few gestures at random with the other hand, and then put it on the kettle, and the temperature of the kettle began to rise. A moment later, the cheese lifted the spell. He opened the lid of the kettle and poured hot blood from a kettle on the snow in front of him. The warm blood quickly loses its temperature, but its smell has spread away with the wind.
"Come on, good dog, come on."
Soon, the person waiting for the cheese came to the appointment. What kind of monster is that? UU Reading www.uukanshu.com Cheese has never been seen in any book in the library, and it has never been heard by anyone ’s mouth. It looks like a mixture between humans and mice, but this mixture is rough and random. The cheese dare to guarantee that even the evil mage's biological experiment products are more pleasing than this thing. Mottled hair, messy eyes, and a kiss with dark red blood stains.
Obviously, this monster also found that the delicious prey he imagined was just the pretense of the mage, but for it, the cheese itself may also be a good meat. But perhaps it was the instinct of the beast or the remaining human nature that made it not rush directly, but looked at the cheese at a distance and hesitated, it seemed to be watching.
But the mage didn't give it any chance. The magical light flashed in the eyes of the cheese. His casting speed was so fast that the monster hadn't reacted to his behavior. His casting was completed. The snow and ice under the monster's feet seemed to come to life in an instant and became a snake, coiling up along the monster's feet, no matter how the monster struggled, the snake composed of ice and snow clung tightly to it. Even if it is occasionally shaken or beaten down, more snow becomes part of this snow snake.
"Freeze."
With the vocabulary in the cheese mouth, the soft snow instantly became hard ice. The monster's struggle was over. It wasn't that it didn't want to continue to struggle, but that the solid ice had blocked its body and made it unmovable. Looking at the restrained monster in front of him, the cheese found that his palm was covered with sweat unconsciously.
"Okay, now let's see what you are." The mage approached his prey in excitement, but he did not notice that some fine cracks had appeared on the cage made of ice.
