Chapter 15 monster who eats women

I don't know why tonight, I can't fall asleep because of tossing and turning. I don't know if it's because I drank two glasses of date palm wine.When I slept in the middle of the night, the air became abnormally hot... Strange, the climate in the ancient Meso region should be relatively mild and humid. It's not too cold in winter and not too hot in summer. I don't know what's going on tonight... Alas, there is no air conditioning, and no dad.I remember that every summer is when Dad is the most popular, and my mother and I always rush to get in touch with Dad, wishing to be inseparable from him. With him, there is no need for any air conditioner.

But in winter... Suddenly, I really miss them... Thinking - a little distressed. After being in bed for a while, I simply got up, changed my clothes, and went to the garden to get some air. In the midsummer night of Babylon, the hot wind blows. In the courtyard, myrtle and lilies sway with the wind, and the Egyptian white lotus blooms gracefully on the water, and a little bit of fragrance floats.The flickering moonlight shrouded the entire palace in blurred light and shade. After sitting out for a while, I felt much more comfortable.Suddenly thinking of the monster Alina mentioned, he couldn't help being a little curious, is there really a monster that can eat people hidden in this palace?

Just as I was thinking about it, a strange sound suddenly came from the bushes not far away, my nerves tensed suddenly, a little nervousness and a little excitement surged in my heart, could it be -------- monster ? Just when I was about to get up, a gray sparrow suddenly flew out of there. While I was relieved, I was also a little disappointed. How can this sparrow be a monster that eats people... "Master, master!" The sparrow blinked its little black eyes excitedly, and threw itself into my arms. I held my jaw that was about to fall, and asked in disbelief, "Xiao Kong?"

"It's me, master, I'm Xiao Kong! So the master still remembers me, so I'm so happy." Its little head rubbed against my chest vigorously. I stared at it for a while, reached out and grabbed it, and said coldly, "Say, why do you always follow me? If you have other plans, don't blame my ruthless subordinates." It shook its head desperately, "Master, didn't I tell you, you saved me, so I followed you, and I saw you getting on that train, so I flew in too... just like this coming." I let it go slowly, although I was dubious about what it said, but my intuition told me that it would not do anything against me.

"Why didn't you change the pigeon this time?" It blinked its small eyes, "The sparrow is safer." Uh------It seems that it still has lingering fears about what I said last time. I smiled lightly and patted its head, "By the way, do you know that there is a monster in this palace?" It moved its head mysteriously, "I was just about to tell you about this. Ever since I entered this palace, I felt that there was a monster here." I was slightly startled, "So, there really are monsters?" It raised its paws and threw itself into my arms, "Master, you have to protect me..."

"Get out -----" I shot a block very quickly, "Ah-Master, you are so cruel!" It swayed and fell to the ground with a thud. "Okay, I'm going back." I clapped my hands, and when I was about to go back, the hair on Xiao Kong's head suddenly stood up, and he said in a low voice, "Someone is watching us!" He rushed towards a nearby tree and pecked at a black shadow. Sure enough, there are people! That black shadow was obviously unbearable, and he had to walk out from under the tree in embarrassment, and was exposed to the moonlight. It turned out that he was only a boy of seven or eight years old. Looking at his gorgeous clothes, his eyebrows and eyes looked very much like Nebu, and his face was domineering, especially those silver-gray eyes, which were exactly the same as Nebu.

Needless to say, this is probably Neb's son, right? However, in the middle of the night, how could this child appear here? The moment he saw me, a hint of surprise flashed across his eyes, "Why are you talking to the bird?" I walked up to him, bent down and looked at him, "Hey, kid, do you know that it's not good to eavesdrop on other people's conversations." He glared at me, "I have no idea what you're talking about!" I couldn't help but laugh, by the way, what I said was bird language, in the eyes of others, I was just making a strange sound.

"Actually, it's nothing." I said with a smile, "It's you, why are you here alone in the middle of the night?" "You haven't answered my question yet, why are you talking to the bird!" His expression turned calm, his expression of calm and prestige was somewhat similar to that of his father. "Because I can speak their language," I winked at him, "but this is a secret between you and me." Surprised, he snorted again, "I bumped into your secret today, aren't you afraid that I will tell others?" I showed a sinister smile, "If you say it, especially if it reaches Wang's ears, I will let those birds chase and peck your ass every day."

His face froze instantly. Oh, a child, where is my opponent. He stared at me without blinking, and suddenly there was an almost invisible smile on his lips, "Then, in exchange, you don't mention to anyone that you saw me tonight, otherwise, I will Let the guards beat your ass." I smiled and stretched out my little finger, hooked his little finger, and shook it, "That's the agreement." This kid is also a ruthless character. He froze, "What does this mean?" "Oh, this means an agreement. If you hook your little finger, it means you can't play tricks and you must abide by your agreement." Although this is very childish, it is also perfect for coaxing children.

Just as he was about to say something, a person ran over in a hurry from another direction. He was dressed in the uniform of a general guard, with a panicked expression on his face, and he was a little relieved when he saw this child. "Why are you here? You scared my subordinates to death..." He was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly noticed my presence, his expression changed, and he turned to the child, "How can you... just in case..." As he said that, he was about to make a move when he was stopped by the boy. The boy gave him a cold look, turned around and left, but left a sentence, "She won't talk nonsense. Go back, Ma Ma .”

Ma Ma?I couldn't help pursing my lips, what a strange name. And this boy... Could it be that children in ancient times matured prematurely?Moreover, I always felt that something was wrong. The man named Ma Ma seemed to be overly nervous. Judging from his actions just now, he obviously wanted to pull out the knife in his waist... The little prince went out to wander around in the middle of the night. Even if someone found out that he was only punished, why did he feel that it was serious? Could it be that he is ------- an illegitimate child? After a few days, the palace has always been peaceful.There was nothing unusual about the queen, so I secretly investigated the monster in my spare time. For some reason, I always feel that it may be related to this mission, and maybe I can find out some clues from it. "Princess, I've done everything you asked me to investigate." Alina handed me a mudstone slab. "Those women who were said to have been eaten, those whose names can be found are all here." I glanced at the arrow-shaped cuneiform writing on the mudstone slab, "You look so tired, you should tell me." "Yes, princess." She nodded, "The woman who disappeared for the first time is called Mana. I have seen her before. She is a very beautiful woman and she served as bed attendant. And this," she pointed to one of them. A name, "This woman is also, and this one, she seems to have worked for Wang's side before, and that one, I heard that she has a good massage technique..." "Wait!" I whispered, and a strange thought came to my mind, how could it be such a coincidence?These women who were eaten by monsters seem to be related to classmate Nibu... Could it be that someone was jealous, so they got rid of them in the name of monsters? If so, who is this person? Strangely, the first name that came to my mind was Queen Amedith. However, just for a moment, I began to deny my own idea again, she is the victim, why is it reversed? But if it wasn't Queen Amedith, who herself was favored by Nebu, how could they live in peace?Or is it because of this that he was locked in a dark room? It seems -- a bit confusing. "Princess, what's the matter with you?" "It's nothing," I stared at the mudstone slab, "I just feel that those women are very pitiful. They tried their best to get Wang's little favor, but that man didn't take them seriously at all. Their life and death , has nothing to do with him." Alina froze for a moment, showing a melancholy expression, "I'm afraid it's an extravagant wish to get the king's love, don't you know? The king never stays all night in any concubine's residence, even now The most favored queen can't keep the king till dawn," "Is there such a thing?" Those silver-gray eyes appeared in front of my eyes. As a king, is it true that you can't even love? "Princess, don't be discouraged, you still have a chance to sleep...the king will definitely pay attention, as long as you work harder..." She was beaming with joy as she spoke there, and my hands holding the mudstone slab trembled slightly... Uh----------I really want to just slap the mudstone slab on her face... At dusk the next day, the palace servants around Nebu came to my place and conveyed the king's order for me to attend the family banquet.I can't help but wonder, this kind of family banquet is held every once in a while, but the guests are all high-ranking concubines. As I sit at the bottom, I am not qualified to participate in this kind of banquet... Why did Neb let me go? Forget it, don't think about it too much, if you come, you will be safe, and you will know when you go. The venue for the family banquet this time is in the central hall.From here, you can see the Euphrates River and gorgeous cruise ships not far away, and the view is really excellent. Neb was wearing a purple coat woven with wings and a celestial sphere pattern, and a fringed shawl of the same color slantingly. He was reclining on the couch, drinking beer with a special straw.Under the reflection of the afterglow of the setting sun, his silver-gray pupils seemed more unfathomable than usual. My arrival obviously surprised the queen and others. Among the concubines, I also saw Princess Lemy at a glance. She showed me a gentle smile. "Wang, why did you ask her to come here? She has no right to come here!" The queen looked unhappy. Please, it's not that I want to come, I don't want to be squeezed into this pile of jealous women. Neb just glanced at her lightly with his eyes, and she immediately kept silent, but the angry expression did not fade away. Suddenly, I think the queen is also very interesting.Although she was a bit arrogant and arrogant, she didn't seem like the kind of person who would harm others.Sometimes the truly scary people are the ones you least expect. "Aymis, come sit here." Nebu pointed to the seat next to the queen, and as soon as he finished speaking, everyone was in an uproar. Alas, I can't figure it out myself, let alone them? Strange, didn't it just catch his attention when he fell at the banquet last time?I don't think he acted today because of my cute and graceful fall... I looked at him suspiciously, and he happened to be looking at me too, but his gaze was a little more probing. "My lord, I'm just a low-ranking concubine. I really don't dare to sit with the queen." I lowered my eyes and tried to put on a panicked look. "Don't you dare?" Hearing his tone was a little weird, I couldn't help but look up, but saw an unfathomable look in his eyes.If I push it any further, I'm afraid I'm going to sit in the Euphrates River... So, I stopped being polite and went forward and sat beside the queen. As soon as I sat down, I felt countless hostile eyes attacking me. The queen glared at me, then turned to talk to Neb delicately, and I had no choice but to lower my head and eat the food in front of me. After eating for a while, I raised my head inadvertently, and found that the lingering red sunset in the sky was particularly strange, as if someone had accidentally knocked over a pot of thick blood, and a flamboyant color flowed in the blue sky -At this moment, the water of the Euphrates River not far away suddenly shook violently, rolling up waves after waves... "My lord, there seems to be something wrong." Princess Laimi's face changed slightly. Neb put down the cup in his hand, and was about to speak, when the queen screamed and pointed in the direction of the river tremblingly, "King, king..." Looking in the direction she pointed, I couldn't help but gasp. Out of the turbulent river, a giant boa constrictor unexpectedly emerged with colorful colors. The snake's body was covered with large spots arranged in the shape of a clouded leopard. The sharp teeth were exposed in the wide open mouth, and the viscous liquid flowed continuously. saliva. Strange, how come there is a python here? My heart trembled, could it be that this is the legendary man-eating monster?Because it hides in the river, it has never been discovered by anyone... Nebu's face was ashen, and he pulled out the iron sword at his waist with a swish, and said in a deep voice, "What are you doing in a daze, move all the women to a safe place immediately!" Only then did the terrified guards come to their senses, quickly drew their weapons, and escorted the concubines away. The queen was right in front of me, probably because she was too panicked, she staggered and fell to the ground, I was about to reach out to help her up, when I heard the wind blowing in my ears, when I looked up, I was shocked, that The giant python was only a few meters away from the queen, and its green eyes were emitting a frightening light. The queen was obviously overly frightened, she just stared straight at the boa constrictor, unable to even utter a word for help. Just when Nebu and the guards were about to rush forward, the giant python wagged its tail and bit the queen with such a speed that even Nebu could not do anything. At this moment of lightning and flint, my head has turned several times. For my mission, it is better to save the queen... When I came back to my senses, I found that I had pushed her away, and my feet fell into the mouth of the giant python almost at the same time.Immediately there were exclamations all around, and I turned my head and saw Neb and the guards were about to rush over, so I quickly growled, "No one is allowed to come over!" Although this is not an ordinary boa constrictor, I know the habits of boa constrictors. If you lose your composure and try to resist, or if there is an external force involved, it will immediately use its body to tightly entangle the prey, causing you to panic. The prey suffocates to death. At this time, all I could do was to keep calm, not make any movements, and let the python continue to devour me without moving. Nebu seemed to have guessed this too, and ordered everyone not to make a sound to stimulate the python, and the surroundings seemed to become completely silent. I watched my body being swallowed bit by bit, and cold sweat broke out on my forehead... It's a really bad feeling... Calm down, calm down, it's just a basilisk, nothing to be afraid of. When its mouth was close to my knees, I looked at Neb, and my eyes stayed on the iron sword in his hand. "Give it to me." I mouthed the word. He reacted immediately and threw the iron sword into my hand impartially.At the moment when he touched the iron sword, that strange and friendly feeling surged back in an instant, as if he heard a call from afar again... However, there is no time to think now, I raised my sword, and slashed quickly and forcefully towards the side of its wide open mouth. This knife has already used all my strength, and the sharp blade cut its mouth open at once. Blood with a fishy smell splattered all over my body, and I didn't care so much, I quickly pulled my feet out of its mouth... The guards took the opportunity to rush forward, and immediately stomped the python into meat sauce. I wiped the blood on my face, only to feel that my heart was still beating violently... My body was still covered with its stinky saliva... Wow, I really want to vomit... A pair of leather shoes suddenly appeared in my lowered eyes. I raised my head, handed over the iron sword in my hand, and said in a low voice, "Thank you." He stared at me without saying a word, his sharp eyes seemed to want to see through me, I hurriedly avoided his sight, my heart was flustered, how should I explain it?Did I act too calm just now? However, he didn't ask anything, he just turned around and said, "This sword belongs to you." As soon as his words fell, there was an uproar around him again, everyone's expressions were different, and the queen hadn't reacted to the shock just now... Seeing him leave, the others came to their senses one after another, and quickly followed him away. Seeing that everyone had almost left, I casually put away the sword, and casually glanced at the dead body of the boa constrictor. I couldn't help being shocked, that snake had turned into a wriggling worm... Could this be a snake transformed by magic... How could it be possible?Does anyone in this palace know magic? I looked sideways and found that Princess Lemi was also looking there, and there seemed to be something inexplicable in those lovely eyes. She suddenly became aware of my gaze, raised her head suddenly, and whispered to the maid beside her, "Clean up this place immediately, and no one is allowed to talk nonsense." After she finished speaking, she walked up to me and smiled slightly, "If If this matter gets out, I'm afraid it will make everyone panic and increase the king's troubles, I think you understand, right?" I lowered my head and whispered, "I didn't see anything." She gently took my hand and said softly, "Princess Aymis, you are very smart." A thought suddenly popped up in my heart, the python was clearly going towards the queen just now, and now the queen is the most favored in the palace, so, as the concubine that Nebu likes, now, it seems that Lai Princess Mi's suspicion is the biggest... Curious to know what's weird about this little bug... But Princess Lemi kept looking at me, and it was difficult for me to pick up the bug in front of her. Just as I was thinking about it, I suddenly thought of a way, and quickly made a few low noises that were difficult for others to detect. Only a few seconds later, a sparrow suddenly flew in the air, and took the bug away extremely quickly. Although it was extremely fast, I could still see clearly that it was really a small hole!At the moment when Xiao Kong took the bug away, I also noticed a relieved expression on Princess Lemy's face. After they all left, Xiao Kong flew towards me with fluttering wings and gently placed the bug on the ground. "Xiao Kong, you did a good job this time!" I patted its little head appreciatively, "I didn't expect you to come so soon." Xiao Kong shook his feathers excitedly, "Master praised me, master praised me!" I grabbed the worm and smelled it near my nose, and a strange scent came to my nostrils. This scent... seems to be thyme with a faint smell of blood. "Master, this seems to be the legendary magic chrysalis." Xiao Kong tilted his head and said. I nodded, magic chrysalis, I also heard this from my father, I heard that the person who gets the magic chrysalis, if he mixes his own blood with thyme grass, then puts the magic chrysalis into this special nourishment , as long as seven to forty-nine days pass, the creatures inside will grow into the shape the breeder wants, and only under the control of the breeder. Therefore, even people who don't know any magic can manipulate them as long as they do this.It's just that those who have used the magic chrysalis have also reached a contract with the devil, so there will be a mark of a feeder on their left leg. In other words, there must be a snake mark on the left leg of the manipulator of this giant snake. Will it be Princess Remy?
