Chapter 1531 (1/2)
”Roar!”
If it weren't for the sound insulation effect of the goblin crypt, I'm afraid this roar would directly attract the mages of the school of life. But this is not surprising. After all, it was a lion and a male lion who roared. However, the lion is different from the image of ordinary people with bright and thick mane and strong muscles under the skin.
First of all, it's thin, and it's morbid thin. Not only the ribs, but also the bone structure of every joint and limb on the spine can be seen through its not tight skin. This is a sick lion, but its roar is full of unexpected anger. It doesn't seem to come from this body at all.
”Bang! Bang!”
After the roar of the lion, it was the sound of metal knocking on each other. Goblins can't touch iron, but that doesn't mean they can't use metal products. At least the iron content in bronze is acceptable for goblins.
Five soldiers in bronze armor struck their shields nearly half their height with their dark green spears. The surface of the shield is a relief pattern of an oak tree.
In addition to these goblins, there was a goblin dancing to express something. Just because of his body composed of straw, he couldn't make enough noise no matter how he waved his limbs.
Yes, this is a scarecrow. In fact, the scarecrow stories about the activities are mentioned in the legends of various regions. Some are good and some are bad. People seem to have a natural fear of other human things. Of course, given that there is a living Scarecrow here, their fear is probably not groundless.
The original Scarecrow may be an imitation of this similar goblin.
The above three goblins are the fugitives hiding in this crypt. Out of various considerations, umala placed the same race he rescued in different crypts, so as to try to prevent the possibility of goblins being caught by the Mage at one time.
In addition, in fact, there are some in-depth considerations. After all, the Crypt Lord himself has to contact many kinds of goblins. Naturally, he is very familiar with the habits and characteristics of more common goblins. For example, the lion is an existence that can never be placed with other goblins with flesh and blood. It doesn't mean that it will eat those goblins, but the sick lion naturally has a mysterious power that can make flesh and blood decay.
As for why Atta and Umara dared to appear around the sick lion in flesh, and those mages had not dealt with the sick lion before, it was because the sick lion's disease wanted to have an impact.
A very subtle premise is that the people around it think they are ill. The disease can be a fact or a guess or suspicion. The scope of the disease is also very broad. As long as the other party thinks that any abnormal variation is happening to him, he is regarded as a disease.
Sick people will feel more and more serious hesitation. They will think that their disease is not as simple as they thought at first, but more complex and serious.
What's more interesting is that those diseases don't really appear, and people don't feel uncomfortable because of suspicion. Everything only works on their spirit. Like tension or trance caused by a deception.
Therefore, most people will not have adverse reactions when they see the sick lion. Only a very few people who are really sick and those who are so well treated that they are suspicious will be affected by it. However, most sick lions do not approach real patients. Their bodies are as fragile as their appearance. The reasons that will make people sick are likely to make them sick.
The most famous story about sick lions is that they were captured by curious hunters and dedicated to a person of high status. Some of those stories are funny, some are weird, and others are strange.
