16, Amputee Greg(1/2)
[Item: Power of the Hundred Phases Furnace]
[Explanation: The ancient power of the furnace of life engraved in the stone slab is extremely rare today when the furnace has been transformed into a golden tree. Life is originally integrated into one body and has countless forms. This power can be used to change the appearance of life according to its inner nature.
In form.]
"Someone asked you to give this to the Faded One?" Esdeath asked curiously.
First up is Melina.
Then there is Witch Rena.
Now there is another flying dragon, Akir.
It seems that after Adie got the spirit horse Torret, there were all kinds of coincidences...
No, should I say guidance, it was coming to my door from the beginning.
In short, someone is secretly helping the faded ones.
"Yes. The faded one riding a spiritual horse, this condition is correct."
"Can I ask who the other party is?"
"I don't know, and I'm not interested," Yaqir said. "I only know that it was sent by other people of the same race."
"Others of the same race..."
"Well, this thing has the smell of our kind." Yakir said.
"Can I ask, is the dragon you mentioned in Stonewell City... dead?" Lu Ye asked.
"Probably." Yakir said, "Not long ago, when it was flying over the castle, it fell down for some unknown reason. There is no news until now. I heard that there is a demigod in the castle named 'Archman' Greg.
He is old and ugly, and likes to graft the limbs of other creatures onto his body to gain strength... I don't think he will let go of my compatriot."
"That's right, you care about your compatriots." Violet understood.
"I cannot accept the limbs of my compatriots being grafted onto that old and ugly demigod, so I must take them back. Even if the limbs have been grafted by him, you must cut them off and bring them to me. This is my condition.
"
"Okay, I understand, but...if you know any information about Stonewell City, I hope you can tell us."
"Well, I don't know much about it. When I went there before, I knew that the security leading to the castle was not strict. There were only some guys at the checkpoint below and some people wearing armor in front of the tunnel leading to the city." Yakir said,
"But if we want to talk about the danger, it's the demigod himself. I heard from the guy over there in the ruins that the demigod hunted the faded people everywhere and cut off their hands and feet to replace their limbs..."
"Extended limb?"
"Well, he seems to think that he can gain strength by attaching other people's hands and feet to his body. But why he thinks so, I don't know. After all, I don't pay much attention to these things. But you should pay attention, in case you are caught,
Maybe it will be made into a limb."
…
Stonewell City.
Castle hall.
"Your Majesty, the latest limb graft is out!"
The slave Getok, who had a square lock around his neck, said respectfully.
"Oh, it's been a long wait, please bring it up quickly!"
Sitting on the throne is the so-called demigod.
Queen Malika's descendant - "Extended Limb" Greg.
Although he said that, in fact, Greg was already a grandson.
His father, the former "Extension", was a demigod named Gopher.
Because he died very early, the history of the junction area does not contain much record of his predecessor’s limb replacement.
Greg sat on the throne, holding a cane with both hands.
The place behind the throne that the candlestick cannot illuminate is completely dark.
At first glance, his face was pale, his thin cheeks had tree-like wrinkles and thick eye bags. Greg was huge, at least 2.5 meters tall, and he was covered in a huge cloak and robe.
But even so, it couldn't completely cover up his terrifying body.
From the gaps between the cloak and robe, you can vaguely see many arms dancing inside. His body is almost connected together by stitching. As for his original body shape and posture, it is no longer possible to distinguish.
After hearing what Grek said, the slave Gotok didn't dare to neglect, and quickly took the tray and walked up the steps leading to the throne.
Behind him were a pair of worried eyes.
In fact, in the hall of the castle, there are not only Getok and Grek, but also many soldiers.
Today is the day of the monthly "Stonwell Artwork Award".
The contestants will use their body parts to make various works of art, which will be sent to Greg through layers of selection.
It is said that the winning contestant will get the right to live in a house near the God's Grant Tower in Stonewell City.
The security there is quite good, because there is a beast patrolling there all day long. Its nose is so sensitive that it can even smell the dragon flying quietly from above, so generally no thieves dare to approach.
Moreover, the scenery from the top of the Divine Grant Tower is good.
In the prosperous days before the Shattered War had begun, many residents of the border areas... and even people from the royal city came here specifically to commemorate and check in. Many painters made a lot of runes from this job.
The "Extremity Artwork Award" competition has been going on for quite some time.
However, so far, there are only a few works that satisfy Greg, and they have been collected by him.
Moreover, there have been no satisfactory new works in recent months.
Greg was anxious, and Gotok, who was a slave, was even more anxious.
Times have changed, and the number of faded ones today is not as large as before, so Gotok and the soldiers had to use fake methods to supplement their limbs, such as using demihuman hands and feet, bat forelimbs, and even paying for magic.
The guys from the college came to help with the fake stuff to supplement it.
Generally speaking, after Greg gets a new work that he is satisfied with, he will happily play with that guy for a long time, so that he has time to replenish his limbs.
But if there is no work that satisfies Greg and the supply of limbs exceeds demand, then Greg probably won't mind dragging the soldiers under the throne, including himself, to have limbs...
I just hope that this time there will be a work that satisfies this old guy.
Place the tray on the table in front of Greg.
"Your Majesty, the first is the one on the left. The theme is 'love'! Look, how beautiful this love is formed by several arms together and more than thirty fingers put together. If I were a slave, I would be given such an art.
Pin, I would marry such a good man on the spot!"
"Well……"
Greg didn't speak. He put one hand on the crutch and stroked his chin with the other. Another arm came out from behind and gently curled the hair beside his ear with his fingers, as if he was thinking and a little distressed.
Seeing this, Getok quickly continued:
"This 'love' also represents true love, just like the eternal queen Malika and the mighty warrior Holly Lu tied the knot and are loyal to each other..."
"Wait, isn't it?" Greg shook his head, "If it represents love, wouldn't the arcs on both sides of the love be wider?"
As he spoke, he began to gesture, and seven or eight arms stretched out behind him to form a heart as a demonstration.
"Moreover, didn't the Eternal Queen dump Godfrey afterwards and marry Radagan, who was so handsome that even the Queen of the Full Moon fell in love with her? Isn't this considered loyal?"
Getok was rejected.
Although he did not raise his head, he felt the killing intent in the eyes of the soldiers in the audience.
Indeed, I forgot this.
Objectively speaking, Queen Malika did kick him away after taking advantage of Godfrey.
But this is the first one!
Here are two more carefully selected works!
"Well, please look at the next one. This is a big fist made of several fists. It's called 'Courage'!"
"No, look, aren't they all connected together with needles? They are loose and loose, like an old woman, and the connecting limbs are not even included."
"And this, the theme of this is 'peace'. First break the arm bones of the four arms, and then twist them together from the roots, and finally form a dove of peace..." Getok's head was covered with sweat, "You
What do you think?"
After a moment of silence, Getok sighed.
"Say, how can pigeons be regarded as peaceful? I know it. This creature not only eats fish, but also eats similar children, and even pecks out their heads. It's so cruel... If you are a pacifist,
Well, you should be like me, break your fingers in opposite directions... Look, isn't this a very good shape?"
There was a trace of anger on Gotok's face.
I can't bear it anymore.
What the hell!
You are a der pacifist!
To be continued...
