Chapter 1713 The Girl in the Cave
Joan stared closely at the crystal ball held by the moth girl.
The scene transformed in the crystal ball gradually becomes clear. Judging from the surrounding environment, it seems to be in a cave. The cave is filled with soft light, but it is not known whether it is minerals that emit light or "fluorescent moss" growing on the rock wall.
The angle of view generated by the "Scry Technique" was locked in a corner of the cave. A small figure curled up with its knees wrapped around its knees. It seemed that it was sobbing deeply, and there was a faint cry coming through the crystal ball.
Qiao An also noticed that a burly figure that looked like a human but not a human was quietly guarding the entrance of the cave. Due to the limited viewing angle, it was not yet possible to see what kind of creature it was.
"This place doesn't look like it's underwater, and it doesn't look like a lord's palace, Cosette, are you sure that little girl who is sobbing is the one we're looking for?" Joan asked wonderingly.
The girl in the cave has a dark complexion, but her hair is as white as snow, and with those pointed ears, she looks like a loli version of "Dark Princess" Claudia.
"That's right, Dr. Vader, she is Patty!"
Cosette looked at the white-haired girl reflected in the crystal ball, and nodded vigorously excitedly.
"Why is Patty hiding in the deserted and desolate cave, and the black ghost at the entrance of the cave doesn't look like the guards guarding her..."
The more Joan looked at it, the more weird it became. She turned her head and said to Cosette, "Send Patty a 'short message technique' to ask where she is and whether her freedom has been restricted."
"Okay, but...do I still need to maintain the 'Scrying Technique'?"
If the spell is sent, Cosette will no longer be able to maintain the concentration of the "Scry" spell.
"I've seen Patty's appearance, and I'll just leave it to me to find out." Joan took the crystal ball from her hand.
Cosette breathed a sigh of relief, and quickly cast a spell to send a letter to Patty.
Joan restarted the "detection technique", and Patty's figure appeared in the crystal ball again. Immediately afterwards, a ball of red light appeared in front of her, which was the "message technique" that Cosette had just sent.
The naturally timid girl of the underworld seemed to be taken aback. She shrank her petite body back and raised her head. Her beautiful face was still tear-stained, and her red and swollen eyes were staring at the ball of light in front of her. She hesitated whether to accept this letter or not. A magical letter from someone.
After hesitating for a while, she finally plucked up the courage, stretched out her delicate hands from the sleeves of the large cloak, and held the red light ball. The panic expression on her face was quickly replaced by surprise, followed by an unexpected hum Sobbed.
"Why is this little girl crying again?" Qiao An was puzzled.
"Don't worry, Dr. Vader, Patty shed tears of joy when she received my letter." Cosette explained softly.
"I've only seen the phrase 'crying with joy' in books, and thought it was just an exaggerated rhetorical technique. So there really are people like this!"
"Patty is such a character who always cries, that's why Evelyn laughed at her as a 'crybaby'." Cosette smiled helplessly. , The ghosts have always been known for their sentimentality, they will cry whether they are sad or happy, and their cries have a magical power, which can make those who hear them panic, as if they have been enchanted by fear magic."
"Aha? There is still such an operation!"
Joan rubbed his ears, but fortunately Patty's supernatural weeping couldn't take effect through the crystal ball.
"Not only that, Patty also has a more powerful supernatural ability called 'Confusion Aura', which can radiate its own magic power to the surrounding 30-foot space, as if lighting up a candlestick. Enemies within this range, if they don't have enough will If you are determined, you will be affected by the aura emanating from Patty and become insane."
After listening to Cosette's introduction, Joan realized that the soft light illuminating the cave was emanating from Patty herself.
At this time, a wave of magic power was set off in front of Cosette, and then a ball of red light appeared.
"Must be Patty's reply!"
Cosette quickly grasped the ball of light, read the information, and then told Joan: "Patty's luck is really good! Just two days ago, while Shanrouar was not at home, she persuaded a palace named Cato The guard opened the cage and escaped!"
"Patty and the kind-hearted guard managed to escape from the palace at the bottom of the lake, and they were discovered by Sanluar's guards shortly thereafter, and they started chasing them down."
"The two of them fled all the way, and finally hid in a cave near the underground river bed. There are enemies outside, and there is no way to escape."
"Dr. Vader, let's go and rescue Patty and her companions!" Cosette said eagerly.
Joan patted Miss Moling on the shoulder, reassuring her to calm down and not to be impatient.
"Cosette, do you know exactly where Patty is on the riverbed? If there are no precise coordinates, there will inevitably be errors in the teleportation point."
"Patty doesn't know exactly where she is, and there are too many large and small caves nearby. It's hard for me to determine which cave she's hiding in." Cosette shook her tentacles depressedly.
Joan thought for a while, and then asked her: "How far is the area where the underground river bed is located from our place?"
"It won't exceed two hundred and fifty miles, and a little further is the lake area where the 'Giant's Cup' is located."
Cosette answered firmly.
"Let's teleport to the area where the underground riverbed is, and then use the 'biological location technique' to search for Patty. It's not difficult to find her."
Joan made up his mind and began to cast spells. Cosette quickly embraced his arms, and three seconds later, the figures of the two disappeared out of thin air with a beam of light rising from the ground.
In the third area of the underground world, on both sides of the underground river shrouded in darkness, there are large expanses of tidal flats covered with honeycomb holes, and further away are caves of different sizes.
A group of hunched strange figures, holding short spears polished from coral, were searching for something along the underground river bed.
At this time, a beam of light suddenly rose not far ahead, which immediately aroused the vigilance of these monsters, and hurriedly rushed towards the luminous zone.
...
After a short period of dizziness, Joan stepped out of the teleportation beam and observed the surrounding landscape.
The ground under the feet shows signs of being eroded by flowing water all year round. It can be seen that this underground river used to have a large flow, but now the water level has seriously declined, and it flows quietly along the natural ditch sunken in the middle of the river bed.
Joan took out the "navigation compass" and generated a topographic map of the surrounding 30 miles. He was trying to find out the general location of the cave where Patty was hiding through the map, when suddenly there was a rush of footsteps in front of him, and a group of half-human, half-fish creatures appeared in his field of vision. .
The body shape and limbs of these monsters are close to those of humans, and they also walk upright. At the same time, they have the characteristics of aquatic creatures. Their skin is covered with dark green scales, and their heads are like frogs. They all hold short spears, and their gloomy eyes appear malicious.
