As the lowest-ranked species in the Demon Army, the 'infected beasts' had extremely strong survivability. After feeding on different species, the infected beasts would undergo different changes. Therefore, older infected beasts would look very different from each other in different regions.
The 'specimen' in front of them was an infected beast that had been 'mummified' through magic. Tyria and Naifei were startled by the ferocious expression of the demon behind the glass. That was because the other party's mouth was wide open. When they looked over, they could clearly see two rows of triangular teeth on display. There were actually gill-shaped gaps on both sides of the withered skin. At first glance, it looked like some sort of shark that had grown legs.
"Phew, is this an infected beast? It's much bigger than I imagined … "
Naifei almost put her face in front of the glass, but after a few seconds, she did not hear a reply from Tyria. She turned her head and asked: "What's wrong? What are you thinking about? "
When she asked this question, Tyria stared at the infected beast in a daze. Her hands were slightly trembling, and there was an inexplicable strange emotion surging in her heart. She wanted to raise her hand and caress the head of the infected beast.
At this moment, Tyria did not notice that Naifei's right hand had already reached into her pocket. The dozen or so seemingly unrelated figures on the streets all slowed down their footsteps …
"Tyria?"
"Ah?"
She finally snapped out of her trance and suddenly turned her head: "I, I … I just thought of something …"
"What happened? Was there a sound? "
"No, it's just that there was a strange thought in my mind that made me want to reach out and touch it." Tyria said while shaking her head. She looked down at her palm: "But I can't remember the reason. I don't think I've seen this thing before, except for the pictures in the newspaper. This thing didn't come from the Demonic Plane …"
At this point, she suddenly stopped talking.
Naifei in front of her had a serious expression: "Perhaps … this is also a symptom of being affected?"
"It's possible."
Tyria was a little nervous, but she did not realize that if she had moved a little more, she would have been controlled by the overwhelming magic.
But now, it was obvious that she had not reached that step. Naifei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and began to talk about other topics.
But after a few words, suddenly, a group of people passed by. The sound of prayers could be heard, and the people around them seemed to have quietened down. Some people even stopped walking and looked at them. Naifei and Talia also looked over and discovered that it was a "Rose Cross" team dressed in their robes.
Today was the regular "Mass in the Square" of the "Rose Cross". This team should have finished the ceremony and was on their way back to the church. There were about 15 people in total. Among them, there were priests wearing blue and white robes like Sally, bishops, and a few female figures wearing slightly different clothes.
Seeing this, many of the believers bowed respectfully. Some even knelt on the ground and chanted a prayer.
However, Talia's gaze was fixed on the figures in black and white robes. These four women were the priests of the Tuk tribe from Eskar!
They were now having a doctrinal exchange and discussion in the Rose Cross. After they came to Hollier, they worked hard to adapt to the life here and participated in every religious activity seriously.
At this moment, these Tuk priests were seriously chanting prayers and walking forward. They did not notice Talia who was standing in the corner. But the latter noticed them and was obviously a little surprised.
"Those are the priests of the Rose Cross. I've seen them elsewhere."
Seeing that she was staring at them without moving, Naifei hurriedly said, "There are really people from everywhere in Hollier. The skin of these priests is so white. Look at that guy over there, he's as black as a bear."
But these words did not make Talia come back to her senses like she usually did. She stared blankly at the backs of the priests, feeling a strange sense of familiarity. Even the sound of prayers floating in the air made her feel peaceful.
Talia did not know the reason. She looked at the ground under her feet and tried to recall the details in the depths of her mind. But suddenly, a strange force almost completely controlled her body from top to bottom.
"Talia?"
Naifei asked again. Taliyah wanted to answer, but she found that she couldn't even open her mouth, and couldn't even turn her head. She struggled with all her might, to the point where even her fingertips were trembling, but her body didn't move an inch. Then, she felt her face slowly turning in another direction.
"Talia, are you listening to me?"
Naifei did not notice anything strange at all. She watched as she slowly turned her head and stared straight at the infected beast. Naifei said: "We'll have plenty of chances to see this thing. Let's go find Master Ethan first. Talia … Talia?"
At this time, Talia's body was leaning forward, her head getting closer and closer to the window. Naifei finally realized that something was wrong and quickly reached out to pull her back. If she did not grab hold of her, Talia's head would directly smash through the window.
"Hiss —"
Taking a deep breath, Tyriya felt that the power had finally disappeared in an instant. Her struggling body instantly went limp and directly leaned against Naifei's chest. The latter almost fell to the ground and staggered two steps to steady herself. She hurriedly asked anxiously, "What's going on? What happened? "
"It's that guy … I was just controlled, controlled …"
Talia's face was pale and her legs were weak. She whispered: "Go! Get out of here … I feel that this has something to do with that devil! "
Naifei did not say anything and immediately helped her away from the street. After they left, an old man standing in front of a newspaper stand with a pipe in his hand slowly raised his head.
Crupus narrowed his eyes and let out a sigh of relief.
He did not tidy up and just followed them. The inconspicuous crowd around him followed Naifei and Talia from all directions and angles …
After Naifei came to the inn and greeted Master Ethan, she helped the pale Talia into the room. Because the room was expensive, the two of them stayed in the same room. Naifei was obviously worried about her condition. After pouring Talia a cup of water, she asked: "Do you feel better now?"
Talia's whole body was trembling, not because of the pain, but because of the fear of the unstoppable force. She was very afraid of losing control of her body. At this time, both of her hands were trembling non-stop: "… I, I'm afraid that I will suddenly lose control. Just now, we couldn't control ourselves at all. Next time, will it …"
"Don't panic, you must not panic."
Naifei whispered to comfort her: "Master Ethan is going to hand in the magic circle later. Let's go together and ask where we can go to treat this symptom, okay? Look outside the window — there are probably hundreds of mages around us. I also saw Dragons just now. There will definitely be no problem, believe me. "
After hearing this, Talia also knew that her fear was useless. She took a few deep breaths and nodded in agreement.
Both of them breathed a sigh of relief. Naifei picked up the free newspaper on the table and began to read it. Talia began to simply arrange the luggage that she brought. But after a few minutes, she heard Naifei exclaim: "Look at this!"
"What's wrong?"
Talia moved closer and glanced at the newspaper. Her face suddenly showed an excited expression …
