Dawn of the Ash Tower

Chapter 6 Capture


Gloria felt very hungry.At the same time, she wondered if she was still capable of feeling hungry.Pain, indescribable pain torments her day and night, it feels like every bone and muscle in the body is being twisted and pulled by someone.Under the torment of this pain, Gloria was completely unable to control herself. She clearly realized that she was gradually becoming a beast under the oppression of pain, but she was helpless.Gloria crouched in the hole, surrounded by animal bones and frozen bodily fluids.Three days, if someone said before that three days can turn a beautiful and healthy woman into a monster, Gloria would only take it as a horror story, but now, the story happened to her.

She has forgotten many things, but fortunately she still remembers her name, Gloria von Saron, the third daughter of Earl Saron, and the youngest child.As the heir of a lord, Gloria's life had been smooth until ten days ago.Plague, this word has always been out of touch with the Earl of Saron in the north. The cold and long winter can dissipate most infectious diseases among the ice and snow.However, it still broke out. At first, it was hunters and farmers on the edge of the territory. The blocked traffic in the Middle Ages made it difficult for Earl Saron to know the movements of his territory in the first place.So when the first batch of infected people appeared in Valley City, the capital of the Earl's Land, the entire Earl's Land was already seriously ill.Those infected were at first feverish, delirious, and in unbearable pain, and their bodies developed black spots that turned into black tumors that burst and ooze a foul-smelling brown-green pus.And if that's the case, or if this plague only kills people in the end, then a lady like Gloria who lives in the castle won't be too dangerous.However, as the chief scholar in the territory said, in many cases, death is not the worst outcome.

Gloria remembered that even in the greatest pain she would never forget those eyes, those long, dark green eyes that glowed in the dark, in pairs, in the dark, in the faint light of the torches It makes people feel afraid from the bottom of their hearts.Perhaps this is why the number one warrior in the earldom, the lord's chief knight, could only let Gloria escape alone in the end.Gloria still doesn't know what those eyes belong to.But she knew that no matter what those things were, she was slowly becoming them.

"Slight... Slight..." Driven by instinct, I opened my eyes, and it was as if a green film was covered in front of my eyes, and everything became weird and blurred under the distortion of this film.Correspondingly, Gloria's sense of smell became extremely keen, and she even had an illusion that even if she closed her eyes and relied on her ears and nose alone, she would not bump into anything.The smell of blood, rot, snow, and her own sour smell made Gloria prefer to lose her sense of smell forever.

Hungry, the most primitive instinct drove her to get up from the hole in which she was hiding, and the sharp nails scratched the stone and made a creepy sound.Go for anything you can eat, something that still has body heat, anything.

………………

The sun was going down, and Cheese stood in the snow, looking at the sun that was about to fall into the mountains from the sky.The cold wind didn't seem to want to rest with the sun, but intensified even more.At night in Longji Mountain, no one wanted to leave the town after nightfall, and those farmers also drove their animals to the shed early, and returned to the warm room by themselves.In the past three days, Cheese hadn't really thought about the cattle theft. For him, the criticism from the townspeople and the boss's wife's complaints were far less important than the trials the teacher gave him.However, now that the close connection between the two has been discovered, the mage has to deal with this matter seriously.

After an afternoon of visits, the cheese probably determined the location of the lost animals, and combined with the guessing in his mind, he felt that what he was going to face should be some kind of beast, at least in terms of behavior.Since it is a wild beast, it must have a lair, and combined with the size of the lost animal, the mage can roughly guess the range of activities of this hungry creature.Now, all he has to do is wait patiently, waiting for the beast to come out of its lair driven by hunger.The cold wind and ice and snow can't block the mage's sight, as long as he wants, he can even sense the position of the hibernating snake under the snow.So the cheese believes that he will never miss the opportunity to arrest.

coming!

Opening and closing his eyes, cheese silently took off his gloves. Although the thick leather can bring good warmth, it also reduces the speed of the mage's casting.In the face of this type of enemy, cheese needs to make full use of every moment.He took out a sheepskin kettle from his pocket with one hand, made a few random gestures with the other hand, and then stuck it on the kettle, and the temperature of the kettle began to rise.After a while, cheese lifted the spell, he opened the lid of the kettle, and poured a kettle of hot sheep blood on the snow in front of him.The warm blood quickly lost its temperature, but its smell had already drifted away with the wind.

"Come on, good dog, come on."

Soon, the object that Cheese was waiting for came to the appointment.What kind of monster is that? Cheese has never seen it in any book in the library, and has never heard it from anyone. The monster that appears in the ice and snow looks like something between human beings. A cross between a rat and a rat, yet this blend is rough and random.Cheese can guarantee that even the biological experiment products made by evil mages are much more pleasing to the eye than this thing.Mottled hair, confused eyes, and a dark red bloodstained snout.

Obviously, this monster also discovered that the delicious prey it imagined was just a guise of a mage, but for it, cheese itself might also be a good meat.But maybe it was the instinct of the beast or the remaining human nature that prevented it from rushing directly, but looked at the cheese from a certain distance and hesitated, as if he was watching.

But the mage didn't give it any chance. The magic brilliance flashed in Cheese's pupils. His casting speed was so fast that his casting was completed before the monster could respond to his actions.The ice and snow under the monster's feet seemed to come to life in an instant, turning into a snake, coiling up along the monster's feet, no matter how the monster struggled, the snake made of ice and snow clung to its body tightly.Even if it is occasionally shaken or patted a little, there is still more snow that becomes part of this snow snake.

"solidification."

Following the vocabulary in Cheese's mouth, the soft snow instantly turned into hard ice, and the monster's struggle was over, not because it didn't want to continue struggling, but because the solid ice had blocked its body, making it unable to move.Looking at the bound monster in front of him, Cheese realized that his hands were already covered with sweat unconsciously.

"Okay, now let's see what you are." The mage excitedly approached his prey, but he didn't notice that some fine cracks had appeared on the ice cage.
