Chapter 261
"Since they can understand instructions, they are worth taming."
Having lived in the lifeless North for a long time, Field cherishes the life here. Looking up at the cocoon hanging above his head, Field's eyes lit up: "Since these spiders can carry corpses to the cliff, they can help us carry the city defense weapons to the city wall."
"Yes."
Ashina sheathed her sword and looked at the spiders around her without any hostility. Pulling a piece of silk thread from the cocoon, Ashina gave it to Field and said happily: "These silk threads are very tough, no wonder they can carry heavy objects."
"Strong and soft."
Field took the spider silk in his hand, pulled it repeatedly to observe, and liked it more and more: "The texture is very similar to silk. I think spider silk is the greatest treasure."
"Black Wolf, can you tell the spiders to obey me?"
The dragon wolf tried its best to open its claws and made an ugly and deformed "OK"
"My lord, it's fine, but it needs some ideological work."
Ashina acted as a translator. She found it very interesting and her eyes were curved.
"You are worthy of being the best worker in Night." Silently giving a thumbs up, Field saw that the spiders were trying to communicate with the dragon wolf, knowing that there was hope, so he suggested, "Give these spiders a name."
Ashina stared at the human face formed by the bright red patterns on the spiders and replied, "How about... the human-faced demon spider?"
"No!"
Almost choked to death, Field waved his hands repeatedly: "This name is unlucky, it has a kind of beauty that is about to be sacrificed."
Although she didn't know why the baron reacted so strongly, Asina fiddled with her wolf ears twice, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and smiled: "Call it the Rose Spider, after all, you are from the Ross family."
"This sounds good, I think it's very good."
Just as the two of them finished discussing the names of the monsters, the dragon wolf had already convinced the spiders.
The rose spiders hung their heads one by one to show their submission.
"I'm sorry for accidentally hurting your people just now. From now on, I will be responsible for your safety."
Whether they could understand or not, Field said some polite words.
"Let's keep going. The sound of the waterfall is getting closer. I think we are almost at the end."
"Yes, sir."
The two continued to move forward along the darkness, and the rose spiders followed behind consciously.
As time went by, the rock wall was shrinking rapidly, stalactites could be seen everywhere around, and the air was filled with water vapor.
"Sir, look, the dark river is blocked by a door."
Ashina's eyes sparkled in the darkness. She waved her hand, and the dragon wolf immediately ignited a flame, acting as a big light bulb, and quickly stepped forward to illuminate the road ahead.
As the dragon wolf approached, Field could see clearly that a heavy, ancient-style giant door cut off the darkness.
Standing under the giant door, Field couldn't help but feel insignificant.
"To be precise, the water seemed to flow out of the gap in the door."
Field walked to the foot of the giant door and could clearly see that there were some tiny gaps in the door, and water was pouring out of it.
"Let me see what's inside."
Through the gap, Field peeked into the door. Just one glance almost scared Field away.
He saw a woman's head, all black and soaked in water, and it met Field's eyes.
The woman's head was between rotten and alive, and her blue face was extremely uncoordinated and distorted.
What was even more terrifying was that the woman smiled strangely, got out of the water, and slammed into the door.
"Bang!"
"Fuck!"
Field took a few steps back, his heart pounding with fear.
"What is that?"
The Lord was startled in Asina's eyes, and he was so angry that he stabbed into the gap with a cold light, but found that he didn't hit anything.
When he looked again, Field found that the door was pitch black, with only the deep dark river.
"You heard the sound just now, didn't you?"
"Yes, the sound of water breaking, I heard it too." Ashina nodded in a serious manner.
"It shouldn't be simple inside, what kind of monster was that just now?"
What's even more weird is that the small map does not mark the danger.
Pushing the door, the door did not move at all. Field looked around and noticed that there was a stone base on each side of the door. Ashina stepped forward to brush away the dust, revealing the words on it.
"Silver key, golden key? What do you mean."
Field rubbed his head, his head was itchy, it seemed that he had heard of this thing somewhere, paced back and forth, Field clapped his hands vigorously, and said excitedly: "Remember the gorgeous long sword called Silver Key? It was found in Ophelia's treasure chest after defeating her."
"ObviouslyIt's not a very powerful treasure, but it's so well made that it's shocking. "
"I have an impression."
Ashina nodded repeatedly, and suddenly realized: "These two stone bases are scabbards!"
"To be precise, it's a door lock, and the sword is the key. It's a pity that I only have a silver key, otherwise I really want to open the door and see what's inside." Field patted the door, feeling the breathtaking breath contained in it, and murmured, "I always feel that there is something extraordinary inside."
"We have to find a way to find out where the golden key is. As for exploration, forget it this time. There is no road ahead for us to go, let's go back first."
Field was not scared by the previous weirdness. He took two steps, turned his head and looked at Ashina and said: "We can develop the cave. There is a lot of space here, and there is no gray fog in many places. More importantly, there is water here!"
"However, the water here... Anyway, please don't drink the water here, sir. "
Ashina was worried.
"It's okay. Just filter it with charcoal gauze and let Tisifa's holy light purify it. It can be used in industry at most."
Field waved his fist excitedly.
On the way back, Field tested the ability of the rose spider.
They can indeed move in the gray fog, but it doesn't mean they are immune to it.
After a rose spider entered the gray fog, the blood vessels on its body began to wriggle, becoming more bright red, and gathered into a cross-shaped pattern. Then the power of holy light slowly emerged on its body surface, dispersing the gray fog on its surface in a very small range.
"It's actually a holy light creature? No wonder it's so docile."
Field remembered the records in the literature that this world has holy light creatures, but they are rare and are generally kept in captivity by the church.
"Oh? Then Miss Tisifa will be happy." Ashina suddenly glanced at Field with a smirk and said sourly.
"Ahem, maybe, aba aba. "
Field played dumb and looked confused.
Back on the surface, the rose spider poked its head out of the hole, startling the soldiers on guard. Their pants almost flew off.
"Protect the Lord!" A cavalryman howled and rushed over.
"It's okay. This is the little pet I just caught. It's cute, isn't it?"
Field waved his hands and patted the furry spider's head lightly.
"Cute, cute."
"If you bump into me, I'll probably cry for a long time."
"The Lord is really a man favored by God."
The soldiers were stunned. Such a ferocious monster was as docile as a lamb in front of the Baron. They couldn't help but admire him even more.
"The breath of holy light, these are the creations of the Goddess of Holy Light. "
Ticifa sensed the power of Holy Light and saw through the Rose Spider at a glance. She was surprised at first, but when she saw the spider, she frowned slightly: "The church once had a living artifact, which was a huge white spider, but its chosen one disappeared later. Could it be... missing in the North?"
"Holy Light is not the origin of all things, don't think so much."
Shrugging, Field was afraid that she would always fall into the influence of the church, so he waved his hand to signal her not to think too much, but he silently remembered this matter.
"I am obsessed."
Ticifa stuck out her tongue.
Soon, the subhuman cavalry led by Silver Claw rushed over. He turned over and dismounted, kneeling on one knee: "Please punish me, sir. Even such a small matter as escorting slaves makes you worry about it."
"I forgive you this time, but you must be vigilant next time. "
Field said it seriously, but he didn't mean to punish her. He pointed to the area around the cave and said, "Silver Claw, I'll assign you 50 soldiers, and you'll escort 100 slaves to clean up the surrounding corruption, build watchtowers and wooden walls, widen the cave, and build stairs."
"Yes, sir, I promise to complete the task."
"Very good, Ashina, let's continue to attack the city. With the Rose Spider, the progress of taking over Starry Night City will be much faster."
