Riding and Slashing

Chapter 116 Painted Skin
The lord went straight to the bonfire and asked the knight directly.

The thin knight was whispering to the woman with a flushed face, and was quite impatient after being interrupted: "Get out! Don't bother me!"

But the woman looked at Li Ang and Klose behind him, but she put a finger on the knight's lips, stopped him from speaking, and then stood up and looked at Li Ang: "Hello, Your Excellency... You are also here to seek guidance and cooperation." Is it a blessing? But what about your guide?"

guide...

Probably refers to a woman like her, right?

There seems to be such a woman beside every knight...

Li Ang quickly came to his senses, but he didn't answer. Instead, he pointed to the camp of the Prophet Legion, intending to see how this woman would react first.

But unexpectedly, with this casual finger, the woman immediately laughed: "It seems that you are about to receive the guidance of the Prophet, so please come and sit, this place is indeed closer to the Prophet, honorable friend."

Those flaming red lips paired with a snow-white chin made her smile really alluring, and Li Ang almost wanted to lift her helmet to see her appearance.

Presumably she thought her gesture meant that her 'Guide' had gone to the Prophet?

The lord is actually playing magic stick art with this magic stick.

This casual finger can represent a lot of meanings, allowing the other party to reveal the information themselves - just like those fortune tellers who always like to point up without saying a word or look at the ground.

Li Ang felt that he was lucky, so he didn't say much, so as not to be exposed, he started to set up a tent next to the knight camp.

But the thin knight seemed rather unhappy: "Honey, you are my lucky guide, you shouldn't leave my side!"

The woman smiled again, turned around and sat beside the knight: "Of course, Morgan, your wish will definitely come true..."

But the knight named 'Morgan' shook his head with fascinated eyes: "My wish now is you... as long as I'm by your side, I can do anything..."

hiss……

The lord shuddered, this kind of dog licking is really disgusting.

Li Ang somewhat understood why these knights wanted to join the Prophet's army...

However, 'Lucky Introducer'?
That woman should be a 'bad luck guide', right...

Well, maybe in the eyes of a knight like Morgan, what she brought was indeed some kind of luck.

It's just that the price after being lucky is probably hard to bear.

The two marching tents were quickly set up, and the lord directly hid in, peeking out from the gap in the tents.

The night slowly fell, and soon, the surroundings became extremely quiet, and the nearby fires were completely extinguished, only many braziers were still burning in the prophet's camp.

During the war, the main camp usually does not extinguish the brazier at night, this is to avoid being attacked at night, and also to prevent spies from prying.

In the light environment nearly [-] meters away, Li Ang's position was rendered even darker.

Looking around, the lord climbed up a tall tree in the grove outside the tent in the dark, and stood on the branch.

This location does have a view of most of the environment in the Prophet's camp.

But just looking at it, Li Ang was so frightened that he almost fell off the tree. He hurriedly hugged the tree trunk, and managed to stabilize himself without making a sound.

He saw a night watch squad in the camp, a squad in heavy armor.

That's about a dozen... people?

Or something else, Li Ang is not sure if it is considered human...

Because those 'people' have no skin.

Yes, Li Ang can be sure that there is no skin!
They... or they, were supposed to be female, as evidenced by their stature and armor.

They were wearing blue-gray heavy-duty plate armor. Those plate armors were obviously made for women, and there were two spaces on the chest specially reserved for women.

But they were not wearing helmets.

The tight plate armor covered their whole bodies, but their heads were covered with reddish-brown flesh and blood, without a trace of skin, scalp or hair.

It looks as if the skin has been peeled off, the teeth and eyeballs are all exposed, which looks extremely terrifying.

This terrifying team seemed to be about to switch defenses. They completed the handover with a group of 'people' wearing black burqas, and then entered a barracks.

Then, that team of guys in black robes took off the black robes that covered their bodies, and their appearance was exactly the same as that of the previous team—the whole body was in heavy armor, and there was no trace of skin on the entire head.

But the strange thing is that when Li Ang saw them handing over, they seemed to be talking to each other-if they were not human beings, but monsters like the undead, why could they still be talking?

Are they still alive?
hiss……

That would be even more terrifying!
The lord's heart beat like a drum, he didn't expect these heretics to be so weird.

There are many gorgeous tents in the big camp, and some female soldiers seem to be carrying food and grass.

Li Ang calmed down and looked carefully, it seemed that a few knights and their followers handed some big bags to the female soldiers, and there were a few bad luck guides standing beside them.

These may be the few knights who have just arrived, are they 'paying tribute'?

And at this moment, outside the curtain, a small group of female soldiers patrolled over with torches.

Fortunately, he was condescending and found it early. The lord slid down from the tree in a hurry. It was too conspicuous to stand on the branch of the tree. If there was a little light, he would be seen. It is better to hide behind the tree first.

This group of female soldiers was obviously normal people. There were about a dozen of them, carrying bows and spears and axes, marching along the outside of the curtain with torches on their backs. It looked like a sentry on the outskirts of the camp.

It seems that they are also very aware of the possibility of being spied on near this small forest, and they seem to go straight to patrol the position of the lord.

The lord didn't want to be discovered by them, and planned to hurry back to the tent before they came over, but he didn't expect that at this moment, a person emerged from the tent of the thin knight.

Heideng couldn't see clearly, only saw a black figure coming out and going directly to Li Ang's tent, the lord had no choice but to hide behind a few big trees sneakily again.

Klose and Summer were originally squatting at the door of the tent to watch out. They also noticed that someone was coming, and they seemed to be planning to intercept them at the door of the tent—but they probably didn't see the group of female soldiers patrolling behind the tent.

But with their bodies, they would be noticed if they made a slight movement. The lord stretched out his hand behind the tree, signaling them not to move.

Klose probably saw Li Ang's movements, and dragged Summer into the tent.

When the black figure walked near Li Ang's tent, because it was a little closer, the lord could see her appearance clearly through the faint moonlight.

This is the Doom Introducer next to the skinny knight.

She observed around the lord's tent, but she didn't seem to notice anything, then took out a shiny object from the water bag on her body, and shook it quietly outside the tent a few times.

The lord is quite familiar with this thing, it is the snake heart stone.

But Li Ang didn't take any action. It is impossible for things like the Snake Heart Stone to have any effect on the guarded people of Mettenheim.

The misfortune guide obviously had great confidence in the Snake Heart Stone. After putting the Snake Heart Stone back into the water bag, she lifted the curtain of the tent, swaggered into Li Ang's tent, and took out a Something that fluoresces.

Klose and Summer are in the tent...

Seeing that the group of female soldiers was still slowly approaching, the lord quickly rushed into the tent.

Klose and Summer had obviously been on guard before, and the unlucky Doom Introducer had already been caught by them in the tent.

In order not to make a sound, the way these two guys arrest people is rather brutal.

The woman is currently sitting on the ground at a right angle.

Klose was wrapping one hand around the neck of Doom Introducer, pinched one of her arms by the way, covered her mouth with the other hand, and clamped her waist with his legs.

And Summer pressed on the woman's legs and grabbed her other hand.

Looking at the woman's appearance, she couldn't make a sound, she couldn't move at all, her eyes turned white, she seemed to be about to faint—it's not a joke to be wrapped around her neck by a hunk like Klose .

These two people from Mattenheim are very vigilant now. If they are on guard, any drugs probably won't work on them—artemisia sage has almost become their daily snacks.

But this thing is numb, astringent and bitter. Ordinary people will cough if they touch it. I don’t know how these foodies are used to eating it. They can’t make a sound at all.

While squatting in the tent, they still quietly dealt with the unsuspecting Doom Introducer. Apparently, the two muscular men had begun to have brains, probably because they had learned some cultural lessons.

The lord gave a thumbs up to his subordinates, and immediately picked up the fluorescent gadget - it was a night pearl the size of a pigeon egg. This woman seemed quite rich.

Li Ang directly stuffed the Ye Mingzhu into the package that originally contained the tent, and then helped Klose twist the woman's hands behind her back, and then observed the movement outside.

With the help of the lord, Klose loosened his arms so that he would not be able to ask questions if he was strangled to death.

No one made any unusual noises, and they cooperated quite tacitly.

A few minutes later, the group of patrolling female soldiers walked away slowly, and the lord took out the night pearl to light it up again.

The two Mettenheim men still maintained their bound positions, but the woman had already fainted.

Only then did Klose let go of his hand in relief, and tied her up with a tent rope, which was quite skillful—whether he followed the lord or Amy recently, he seemed to be doing kidnapping or something job...

"My lord, this woman is quite powerful. I only controlled one of her hands with two of my hands..."

Summer looked at his thick arm, and then at the woman's white arm, perhaps a little suspicious of life.

"Take her helmet off and look, these women don't look right."

The lord thought of the skinless witches he saw just now.

Summer took off the woman's half-helmet, and the lord used the night pearl to shine on the woman's head for a long time.

The woman's face was astonishing, her skin was amazingly fine, and she really looked beautiful.

"My lord, what are you looking for? Don't wake her up..."

Klose saw Li Ang dragging the head of the misfortune bringer back and forth to check, and was a little worried that it would cause the woman to wake up.

"How could it be possible for two hundred beautiful women over 1.8 meters tall..."

Li Ang murmured, his hand still didn't stop until he grabbed the woman's face hard...

The skin on the woman's face was pulled long by this stroke, and the woman also opened her eyes under this action.

Klose quickly covered her mouth again.

Li Ang also let go of Klose's action.

The woman's eyes instantly became extremely frightened, because the lord took out a knife and pointed it at her eyes.

"Don't bark, or you'll die right away..."

Li Ang made a threat, but then he felt that this threat probably meant nothing to this woman—whether it was based on Amy and Klose's experience, or referring to the skinless woman I just saw in the camp, or According to Owl Knight Ols, these women are probably not afraid of death.

Even if they were afraid of death, the lord felt that his threat would not have any effect—tell the woman not to scream?They can't control it...

So the lord simply grabbed her neck and gave her a heavy blow on the back of her head.

The effect was very bad - the woman hardly responded, but there was anger in her eyes.

Considering her superhuman strength, Li Ang felt that either some kind of drug was used to stimulate the potential of the human body, or their dark goddess could indeed grant them some power, presumably the conventional methods could not restrain her.

Then there was no other way, Li Ang simply strangled her to suffocation, as to whether she would be killed or not, it was no longer considered.

The woman rolled her eyes again and passed out again.

After letting go of his hand, Klose looked at the woman's face, and understood why the lord kept looking for things on the woman's face—the woman's face, which was grabbed by Li Ang just now, was deformed, and her skin was obviously bruised. The folds look rather odd.

"My lord, her face..."

Both Klose and Summer looked a little flustered, they had never seen plastic surgery before.

"Yes, not only her, probably every woman around the knight here, including the so-called beautiful three prophets, is probably a fake face..."

Li Ang now fully understands what happened to the so-called Three Prophets...

No wonder these women worship the Three Prophets so much, no wonder the Three Prophets, who had so many legends decades ago, are still young and beautiful...

Li Ang originally thought that they were not human beings, but now it seems that they are human beings, but they are not human beings either!
These are the three women who know how to perform face-changing surgery—they can be regarded as opening the first plastic surgery hospital in Pande mainland!
But their plastic surgery method is quite horrible...

They probably just replaced all the skin on the head!

Judging from the fact that these women are good at using snake heart stones, they are just like what Anson once mentioned—use snake heart stones for anesthesia, and then undergo skin resurfacing surgery!

And the source of those pink and tender skins is probably what the owl knight Aurs said, "They will take away all the girls and children..."

I see……

This technique is indeed witchcraft.

And their so-called guidance is probably to use all kinds of poisons and beauties to make people addicted, and let these cosmetic girls play tricks among the nobles!
There is no doubt that they will get a lot of money and followers.

Not surprisingly, those lucky ones who got some hidden treasures or powers because of their 'guidance' are actually advertisements...

Those treasures must have been placed by them themselves, in order for people to get them because of their "guidance"—anyway, sooner or later they would have to be squeezed dry by the three prophets.

Those who gain power because of 'guidance' are probably also because the doom seducers can use the nobles they seduce-obviously, there must be countless disputes among the nobles because of the three prophets and their doom seducers...

The guidance of the three prophets can get money and power-the effect of this kind of advertising is naturally outstanding.

Of course, those careless or greedy nobles will spontaneously look for the three prophets, and pay a huge price to make wishes to them, pray for their guidance, and even lead troops to follow and protect them.

And those women who yearn for eternal beauty will also try to learn the ability of the "Three Prophets" from them, and will worship them as if they were gods—they will probably swear a blood oath in exchange for their souls, and in the end they will be used by the prophets with drugs. Psychological hints, gradually turned into puppets but still unconsciously.

What a great way!
Li Ang was a little surprised, but also a little frightened.

This is a combination of marketing management masters, psychological and social relationship masters, and anesthesia and plastic surgery masters—no wonder there are three people, each must be good at a subject!
The lord had a general understanding of the situation, and a group of people packed the woman into a package that was originally used to hold a tent, and planned to take people out of the camp in the dark.

But at this moment, a man in the tent next door suddenly yelled strangely: "Honey! My baby! Where have you been?"

It was the skinny knight Morgan, who probably woke up to find that the Doom Bringer was gone, and this clingy guy actually started looking around...

And the first place he looked for was Li Ang's tent—it was the closest to his camp, and the Doom Introducer had talked to the lord.

"Honey, are you here?"

This guy broke into Li Ang's tent quite unreasonably, turned his head and looked around, looking like he was catching rape.

His mind is obviously not clear, deep bags and dark circles under the eyes, and a weak look, have shown his current state - obviously addicted to poison and sex for a long time.

But he didn't see his 'baby' in the tent. Instead, he saw several murderous burly men, who immediately panicked and exited the tent like a frightened mouse.

However, this guy seems to be planning to continue looking elsewhere, obviously not wanting to leave his "baby" for a moment.

Obviously, his behavior will definitely attract patrols soon. In fact, a female soldier holding a torch has already heard the sound and is coming here.

Li Ang punched him unconscious from behind, lest he continue to yell and cause more trouble.

"Let's run before their patrol comes..."
