It was supposed to be a huge space, but there was not much room for the gigantic creature in front of them to move. If it flapped its wings, if it was not hurt by the hard objects around it, a layer of the rock wall would be scraped off.
The pair of flat wings seemed to be breathing as they moved slightly, scattering fluorescent scale powder from time to time. The scale powder that fell to the ground would be blown up by the wind caused by the flapping of the wings, causing the entire cave to be filled with fluorescent scale powder. It was as if they were in a dream.
Other than that, its six legs were firmly grasping the ground, and its huge body was like a stone statue, not moving at all. Only the pair of antennae on its head swayed left and right, shaking from time to time. However, it seemed that it did not have the most troublesome cognitive impairment that a certain someone had. They could not find it previously because it was hiding underground.
When the cats arrived, the pair of antennae replaced its eyes and waved downwards. It was as if it was looking at the group of small guests in front of it.
Suddenly, the pair of huge wings flapped slightly and very quickly, making a sound that echoed in the cave. Walking at the front of the group of cats, the pure white long-haired cat sat down and meowed.
Sure enough, in a certain someone's observation record, a big and a small cat began to talk.
The white cat said, "My king, my royal guest."
The Devil Moth King responded by flapping its wings and asked, "Guardians. What are you here for? "
"My king, we have cleaned up the demons that are wandering outside. I have also brought warriors who are willing to cross realms to save our people. We are only waiting for your permission, and we can set off immediately. "After the white cat finished speaking, the other cats also meowed, as if they agreed with this.
"There are too many who are willing to participate. The seal will be repaired at any time, and then the two sides will be separated again. If you can't come back in time, you can only be left in the abyss. Do you have the resolve? "The Devil Moth King said.
"My king, we have already prepared for this resolution." The pure white long-haired cat lowered its head humbly, expressing the determination of its clan. The other cats did the same, expressing the same thoughts.
"Then, this uninvited guest, why are you in front of me?"
This was … the common language of the maze!
Not understanding why their king suddenly used human language, the cats looked at their companions in confusion.
Knowing that he had been exposed and not blackmailed, Lin walked out from the shadows. At the very least, the other party acted as if they wanted to talk, and didn't yell at him to kill him as soon as they discovered him.
He carefully walked past the surprised cats, warning himself not to step on any of them. When he finally got close enough, Lin greeted him with the etiquette of a magician, "The King of the Forest, Magician Guebrach Lin Tripwood greets you."
"Why are you here, Magician?" the Devil Moth King asked again.
"Your Majesty. I'm here to see if I can obtain the threads you spat out when you're in your larva form to spin your cocoon. It can also be the threads spat out by the children related to you. If there were no such thing, I would go away, and keep all this secret, and not disturb the peace of this place. Of course, if there is, I won't take it for free, but I hope this will be a fair trade. "
Although he really wanted to flatter and flatter the other party until he was on cloud nine, he couldn't bring himself to do so. But he couldn't tell what the other party would fall for. On the other hand, the Language of Beasts was very good at grasping the emotions of the speaker, and those who were proficient in it were like a lie detector. If there was a situation where what they said went against what they said, there would be nothing left to talk about. That was why Lin went straight to the point and told them his destination.
For someone's sudden appearance and request that had nothing to do with the topic they were discussing, the cats were of course unhappy. Other than letting out sharp cat cries to protest, some cats even used the common human language to warn him.
It wasn't the first time he was bullied, but it was the first time he was bullied by a group of cats. Although he had always prided himself on being thick-skinned, in this situation, he felt his scalp tingle.
Thinking about it, this wasn't on the Internet, but in reality. He was surrounded by dangerous creatures that were hostile to him from all directions. Thinking about how he was lucky enough to find the target on his first ground reconnaissance, he felt worried. Could it be that his luck had run out? His intuition told him that what was going to happen next was not good.
Amidst the noisy cat cries, the Devil Moth King suddenly flapped its wings. The wind pressure caused the scattered scale powder on the ground to be blown up high and swept across the cats, making them all shut up. At this time, the Devil Moth King continued to use its wings to make sounds and said in the common language, "I do have what you want. But what kind of price can you pay? "
"Please tell me, Your Majesty. If I can do it, I will do my best. If I can't do it, I will explain in detail. If possible, please change the conditions. "
The pair of antennae on top of its head swayed back and forth, and the huge king in front of him said, "You heard the conversation between me and my guardians just now. What do you think? "
Was it too late to pretend not to know the Language of Beasts? Someone regretted it. But he said, "Your Majesty, can I ask a few questions first to see if my understanding is correct?"
"Ask away."
"Is there a Gate of the Abyss here?"
"Yes. This is one of the eight Gates of the Abyss in the Maze World. "
Sure enough. Lin Xu asked, "Is it because it can't be closed for some reason? Or because no one went to the other side to help close it? "
"The two worlds can't be completely separated, that's no different from suicide. The only thing I can do is to guard here, so that the inhabitants of the Abyss can't freely travel between the two worlds, and so that the residents of the Maze World won't accidentally enter. "
This was the first time someone had heard of such a thing. It seemed that there were still many secrets in this world that he didn't know. Ignoring this point for now, Lin continued to ask, "Then the barrier you mentioned, I guess it has something to do with Your Majesty."
"Yes, that barrier was set up by me, it was set on the Gate of the Abyss, separating the two worlds. But the stability of the barrier will change according to my strength. When I'm weak, some powerful demons will still attract my attention if they want to pass, but those that are too weak may be ignored by me. So at this time, I have to rely on the guardians to help me maintain the separation between the two worlds. "
At the mention of the guardians, the cats raised their heads proudly and wagged their tails.
"Are there existences like Your Majesty in all the eight Gates?"
"Yes, some are on this side of the Gate, some are on the other side of the Gate."
Lin had heard enough about the world's secrets, so he asked about the thing that was very likely to happen to him. "Then how did that cat run to the other side?"
"Maybe a demon took advantage of my weakness and found a loophole in the barrier, came to this side, and captured Mao Ni, who might be nearby."
The other possibility that the Devil Moth King didn't mention was that the cat ran over by herself. Well, there was no point in thinking about the reason. Lin asked another very practical question, "What's so important about that cat that you have to rescue it?"
He thought that this question might anger all the cats present. But unexpectedly, they said as if it was a normal thing, "If anyone gets lost on the other side, go and find it. Do you need a special reason?" "Isn't it normal to get lost on the other side?" "Speaking of which, who organized an expedition last time? They found a hole in the barrier and went to the other side to play." "Oh, right, did anyone go to the other side and never find it?"
Although he did not know if all of the Devil Moth King's compound eyes were facing him, Lin Feng felt speechless when he looked at the giant moth. Couldn't it find a group of reliable guardians?
In the end, the Devil Moth King said, "Mao Ni is temporarily the next Maguspriest, and I've taught her how to control the barrier. If she falls into the hands of evil demons, they can use the window after I reincarnate to break the barrier and invade the Maze. By then, the guardians alone won't be able to stop the army of demons. Besides, there's not much time left before I lay my eggs, and I'm going to reincarnate. If you want to wake me up from the eggs, you'll need a Maguspriest. The current Maguspriest is old, and I don't have time to teach the next one. You have to be prepared. "
Based on what the Devil Moth King said, it was entirely possible that the cat found a hole in the barrier and went to the other side … This made Lin Sheng feel reluctant to accept this mission.
But now, it seemed that the Devil Moth King had a serious mission. If he knew where the thing it was talking about was, he could steal it himself, but if he wanted to use the method of fighting monsters to steal the treasure, he might have a big problem. Since he couldn't use force, he could only use a soft approach. So Lin confirmed, "So, Your Majesty, what do you want me to do in exchange for the silk cocoon I need?"
"Please go to the other side and find Mao Ni. If Mao Ni is unfortunately killed, please bring back solid evidence. As long as you can fulfill either of these two conditions, I can give you a piece of the remaining silk cocoon that my larvae created after my previous reincarnations. You should know that when I break out of the cocoon, most of the silk cocoon will be dissolved or eaten by me. The ones that can be preserved are the essence that I can't destroy. Any piece of the cocoon will be at least the same size as you. "
"Okay, Your Majesty, I accept this condition. But I have one more question. Why are you looking for me? "Lin Sheng asked curiously. Casually giving out missions was something that could only be seen in RPG games.
The reality in this mysterious land was that if one wanted to get a mission from the Adventurer's Guild or the Mercenary's Guild, not only did they have to prove that they could do it, they also had to prove that they were the right person. Otherwise, why would the client trust a stranger so casually?
As for how to prove oneself, in fact, it was to start from small missions in the Guild and continue to accumulate merits and reputation. Then, as long as the adventurer or mercenary met the client's requirements, the Guild would take on the role of a guarantor, allowing the adventurer or mercenary to have the qualifications to carry out the mission.
So, for this giant moth that had lived for countless years, the first time it met him, it inexplicably gave him a mission. Lin Sheng was also worried that the other party had other intentions.
"You were able to hide from them and follow them into this place. I believe that there is no one more suitable than you."
