Chapter 456: Obtaining Information
The fortress resisted the demons' attack amid shouts and screams.
Matlisa was still sitting in the center of the entire medical clinic as usual, controlling her three treasures and coordinating with each other to quickly treat the wounded and stabilize those with fatal injuries.
"Do you want to take a break?" Matlisa asked a female demon hunter who was carrying various surgical tools and moving quickly throughout the treatment center.
She still had some bandages on her body and was wearing loose clothes. It was obvious that her injuries had not healed yet. She could not go to the front line and could only fulfill her responsibilities within her ability in the treatment center.
There are many wounded people here, just like her.
"No need, Lady Matlisa. I'm not tired yet."
But from her posture, it was clear that she had been busy for a long time and she was also a wounded person.
Hearing this, Matlisa smiled, and a vine came over to tie her up, and handed the tray in her hand to the medical staff who needed it not far away.
Then he dragged her to his side and said, "Why don't you stay here and chat with me?"
"Ah?" The female demon hunter was a little confused, because even when talking to her, Matlisa was still controlling various treasures to perform treatments.
It's like Mathilda has four hands and she can multitask without any problems.
Since Marissa said so, the female witcher had no choice but to find a place to sit down and rest quietly.
He controlled a needle and inserted it into the back of a dying soldier to stabilize his condition, and the medical staff waiting nearby immediately began treatment.
Matlisa then asked, "Ashley, where did the moon pattern on your neck come from?"
This female witcher is the one that Matlisa mentioned last night, and the one that Lucelia saw on the battlefield yesterday.
Ashley touched her neck when she heard this.
"You're talking about this, this is our family symbol, my father and mother both have this moon tattoo on their necks.
I've had it on my neck since I was a kid, as early as I can remember."
At this point, Ashley's face showed memories, and she even smiled and said, "My father and mother used to be demon hunters. They were very powerful and hunted down many powerful demons.
There is also a title, Demon Hunter Twin Moons."
At this point, the memories and smile on his face gradually disappeared, and he said with a bit of loneliness: "But when I was 14 years old, they died in a defensive battle."
"Feel sorry."
"That's not necessary, Lady Matlisa. They dedicated themselves to their careers. I don't feel sad that they sacrificed themselves to protect so many people. I'm even proud of them." Ashley said with a smile.
This situation is quite common in demon hunter families.
Hearing this, Matlisa turned to look at her, smiled and nodded.
"But why do you care about such a tattoo, Lady Matresa?" Ashley asked her with some confusion.
Hearing this, Matlisa did not hide anything. While operating the treasure to treat the patient, she continued, "You should know my origins, right?"
"I know you are Master Alka's teammate. I heard that you are a treasure hunting team, and there is also that big shark, that..."
She said to everyone in the fortress.
This is not a secret. Everyone in the Demon Hunting Fortress knows it. After all, Alka and the others are so outstanding.
They can be seen in battles and in various places, so how can they not be remembered? Not to mention that they often rescue many people in battles.
Simply put, they are very popular and well-known in the Demon Hunting Fortress.
Matlisa nodded and said, "Before coming here, we passed by the ruins of a temple. You know we are treasure hunters. So we were very curious and explored there. We found that it once belonged to a cult outside the island, the Moon Worship Cult.
But the Moon Worship Cult disappeared a hundred years ago. I didn’t expect there are still ruins there, and it looks like it has been abandoned for less than 100 years.
But it has been abandoned after all, so we can't find any relevant information.
In the collapsed murals of the temple there, we found that the moon mark also appeared on the neck of a figure. So I was very curious to see the moon mark on your neck. "
At this point, Matlisa smiled, turned her head and stared at Ashley, blinked her eyes, and said in a slightly naughty way: "As a treasure hunter, you can't be without curiosity."
Ashley smiled when she heard this.
"Then you must have been to many places?"
Hearing this, Madeleine nodded: "Of course, if you want to know, I can tell you slowly later."
Ashley nodded and said, “My parents took me to the temple ruins you mentioned when I was very young. They said that was once their home.
It just says that from there, their home was destroyed by demons, so they started hunting demons.
As for the previous story, they didn’t tell me, and they didn’t seem to want me to know. ”
Hearing this.
Mathilda nodded with some regret.
"However, I have some relics from their time. Among them are diaries and the thick book with the moon mark that you just mentioned.
It's a bit like... well, the scriptures of the order.
But…I couldn’t understand a lot of the words in it, and I didn’t know what they meant, so I just left it at home.”
Mathilda could understand that Ashley might not be able to read the handwriting of the order her parents once belonged to.
After all, Ashley’s belief is no longer the so-called Moon Worship Sect, but the Virgin Mary.
In other words, all demon hunters basically believe in the Virgin Mary.
This also means that most demon hunters know the language of their home sea.
The first reason must be that the power of the Virgin Mary is very effective in dealing with demons, which is very consistent with the name of the demon hunter.
The second reason was what Alka said.
Demon hunters are ultimately driven by hatred, and such behavior can easily lead people into paranoia and onto the wrong path.
The teachings and power of the Virgin Mary can easily help those who are caught up in hatred to stabilize their bodies and minds. Even in such hatred, they can maintain their original intentions.
Therefore, demon hunters are also very willing to believe in the Virgin Mary, so that they will not fall into the same level as the devil after a long period of demon hunting and hatred.
"If you need it, Lady Matlisa, I can give it to you."
Hearing this, Matlisa's slightly regretful mood recovered. She turned to look at Ashley in surprise and asked, "Is it okay? That's your parents' legacy."
"They are just books, and I can't understand them. I will lend them to you temporarily. I believe you won't damage them."
Hearing this, Madeleine nodded with a smile: "Of course, after reading those books, I will return them to you intact."
As they talked, the two began chatting with each other again, and Matlisa began to tell Ashley about some of their past experiences.
When she started to tell her story, it was no longer just Ashley who was listening. The medical staff and the wounded around her were also listening to Matlisa's story.
Many people here have spent their entire lives fighting against demons and have no idea what the vast ocean outside is like.
Of course, some of them were mercenaries from outside, and when Matlisa talked about things he knew, she would also add to the story.
Others listened carefully and tried to record these stories.
…
At this time, the battle was still fierce at the fortress wall.
Alka silently conserved his magic power and no longer carried out various large-scale attacks. Instead, he used mixed elements to launch precise attacks.
In order to maintain one's combat effectiveness for a longer period of time.
A few balls of fire flashed in the sky again.
The stone ball wrapped in lava fell on them again.
Two one-eyed giants appeared 1 kilometer away.
The devil's reinforcements are coming again.
Alka looked at the Cyclops in the distance. He was neither in the mood nor in the strength to stop them.
The tone of the entire battlefield changed.
"Resuscitation Concerto!"
As the sound expanded and spread to the entire battlefield, some exhausted soldiers and warriors could clearly feel their physical strength and magic power recovering.
The tune was so fitting that Alka relaxed a little.
Julia relied on the cooperation of several treasures, and the enhanced status brought by one person was enough to offset that of many powerful people who possessed treasures with enhanced effects.
This is why the more treasures there are, the harder it is to adapt and obtain them, but once you have them, the advantage over others at the same stage is huge.
In Alka's team, as long as the treasures have certain combat characteristics, they can basically cooperate with each other to fight across levels.
He raised his hands violently to break up the lava balls falling from the sky, but this time he could no longer control the decomposition of all the balls.
Two of them fell down.
One was hit by a laser in mid-air and shattered into pieces.
That was Simon, who was driving a mecha and holding this energy weapon, attacking the city wall on the third floor.
An unknown general jumped up in the air.
A gas mass like a bubble flew over and enveloped the giant lava ball, then dissipated, and the bubble disappeared along with it.
Not long after Alka repelled a few demons that were charging at him, several huge lava boulders flew over?
With a sigh, Alka could only decompose three this time.
More lava balls fell down.
This time, four round balls flew out of the sky, opened their huge mouths in the air, and completely swallowed the four stone balls.
Alka turned his head and looked in the direction of Juanlu.
Juanlu, holding a bare stick and a round ball beside him, smiled at Alka.
Then, in Alka's eyes, it immediately turned into a fire man wrapped in lava.
It rushed directly into the pile where the demons were and started to explode.
Lava flames flew everywhere.
Although these demons have a high resistance to fire, they are still unable to withstand such a violent attack.
Not necessarily fatal, but all washed off the wall.
It should be that the four spherical monsters ate the lava and passed the swallowing power to Juanlu.
Looking at the Cyclops who was about to launch live ammunition again.
Alka sighed.
"Damn it, someone come and kill them."
As he spoke, Alka couldn't help but think about whether he should expend some strength, or even overdraw some of the strength from his dreams, to kill those one-eyed giants.
Jason's voice came to my ear.
"Are you calling in Jason and Urulius for a ranged strike?"
A dazzling dragon figure streaked across the sky, and Jason jumped down from it and asked.
"Aren't you supposed to be clearing out those rats in the rear?" asked Jason Alka, looking at him.
"We have to come back to process the new information and get some supplies, right?" Jason said with a smile.
Hearing this, Alka nodded and then pointed to the cyclops in the distance.
"Hurry up, kill those damn giants right now."
"Captain of destiny!"
After saying that, Jason shouted to Urulius, who was flying in the sky and spewing power at demons everywhere, "Urulius, merge! The captain's order!"
After saying that, the giant dragon in the sky and Jason turned into points of light and merged together.
This can be considered their first appearance.
The surrounding soldiers all watched the scene just now, so they knew that the beautiful creature was on their side.
As spots of light flickered out, a huge dragon-shaped monster appeared in the sky.
Looking at this monster, all the soldiers became nervous.
Then this exaggerated and intimidating monster expressed his feelings with his actions.
When they merged, they were already two dragon heads, and then the two dragon heads leaned back together.
The gathered energy spurted out directly.
I saw a dazzling beam of colorful light shooting out, instantly freezing a one-eyed demon in the distance.
His body shook, and his tail formed an exaggerated crystal ball, which was thrown out with tremendous force and hit the frozen one-eyed demon in the distance.
The sound of breaking glass echoed throughout the battlefield.
The huge one-eyed demon turned into crystal fragments in everyone's eyes.
Afterwards, the huge dragon men began to wreak havoc on the battlefield.
They began to clear out a large number of demons that were neither strong nor weak, and areas were cleared out one after another.
"Cover him!"
Some generals immediately shouted when they saw this situation.
The powerful Toucher began to use various treasures to protect Jason.
After all, the size of the two after the fusion is too exaggerated. Although they are flexible, they are huge in size and are still easily targeted by the demons.
Many demons have begun to besiege Jason, trying to restrict his movements and take his head, which is a valuable trophy.
With everyone's cover, Jason only needed to dodge slightly, and then he could wreak havoc on the entire battlefield, instantly reducing the pressure on the battlefield.
He was like a bulldozer.
But this method can only be used temporarily.
If you use it a few times, the demon will use targeted means to stop you. After all, being larger in size sometimes means being more vulnerable to harm.
Just like the demon's hammer demon, and the one-eyed demon who is now casting a cutoff in the distance.
Alka looked at the two one-eyed demons in the distance.
Just as he was about to gather his strength to kill one, a blue meteor streaked across the sky.
In the blink of an eye, he rushed towards the one-eyed demon in the distance.
"ha!"
With a proud roar, a one-eyed demon flew straight towards him.
The huge body smashed directly under the city wall, crushing a large number of demons.
It also became a temporary obstacle in front of the city wall, blocking the way of some demons.
When the one-eyed demon came over, his head had disappeared, leaving only his body and neck, from which blood like magma was still gushing out.
The blue meteor in the distance had already begun to attack the other demon, but this time her attack was blocked.
Various shields were stacked on the one-eyed demon.
Even with Xia Daiti's powerful strength, it is impossible to blow it up with just one punch.
Moreover, in this dangerous position, she couldn't completely stop her speed and convert it into strength. That was too dangerous and would make herself a temporary target.
After seeing that the second attack was difficult and that more demons from the rear were about to target her, she immediately turned into a blue meteor and returned.
The meteor stopped on the city wall and turned into the figure of Xia Daiti.
It seems that Xia Daiti is back too.
At this time, there was only one one-eyed demon left, so his attack could be easily broken down by Alka and no longer posed any threat to the fortress.
At most, it just restricts some of Alka's actions.
"How was the support process?" Alka asked with a smile as he looked at Xia Daiti beside him.
"Not bad, but it seems like the battle here is really intense."
Xia Daiti looked at the large number of demon corpses under the city wall, as well as the demons that were still coming to support from the rear.
The bloody magma formed by the devil's blood kept flowing and gathering below, looking extremely tragic.
Some demons were down there, still eating as they went.
The breath of the abyss here is so thick that it makes it difficult to breathe.
After a few pleasantries, they once again plunged into battle.
With the addition of Jason and Xia Daiti.
The pressure on the front battlefield is getting less and less.
…
night.
Although the demons outside were still attacking the city, of course, Alka and the others had been replaced.
It was time for a short rest, after all they had been standing outside all day resisting the most violent attacks.
Several people who were resting in the small round tower suddenly heard a knock on the door.
"Master Alka, this is something from Master Matlisa."
The soldier handed the thing in his hand to Alka and then left quickly.
"From Mathilda?"
As Alka said this, he looked at the puppet girls in the room and casually picked up a puppet girl by the door.
"Lu Yi, ask your sisters around Matlisa."
The puppet girl who was lifted up nodded and quickly communicated with her sisters in the distance.
Then he said, "Matlisa said that this is the scripture of the Moon Worshipers that you need, as well as the diary of the survivors."
Hearing this, Alka looked at the item in his hand and opened the package.
Inside was a black book that was a little old but well-maintained.
A metal moon mark can be seen on the cover of the book, but I don’t know what material it is made of.
Apart from that, there is nothing else. It seems very simple.
There were also a few booklets next to it, which showed very serious signs of being flipped through. They were obviously the so-called diaries.
Xia Dai and a few others also came over.
"Then everyone take a look and see if there is anything worthy of attention."
Alka said, dividing the books.
Then he said, "Be careful, this is something Matlisa borrowed and needs to be returned to someone else."
As he spoke, he opened the Moon Worship Manual in his hand.
Be prepared to take a closer look.
