Chapter 738 The Moving Palace
Finding someone who has vanished without a trace is extremely difficult. Fourth Sister searched many places, including the place where Second Sister fought her last battle, but all that remained there were the long-collapsed mine and the shattered altar.
She also asked the survivors of that battle, but they knew nothing about it, only that an extremely powerful shockwave had erupted inside the mine while they were fighting the ogres.
When everyone went to check again, there was nothing left, not even the corpse.
However, there were two or three reincarnated insect demons present at the time, but all they knew was that Second Sister had been attacked, and then...
Then they died.
There was no way around it; the impact of the battle between the two powerful figures was simply too great. Even if these few Karami didn't intervene, they would still be affected. And because they died so quickly, they didn't know what happened next, and the clues that had left them with a glimmer of hope were cut off.
However, it wasn't all for naught. At least they learned that the group that fought with Second Sister was somewhat related to the Evil God Altar, which was the Evil Eye Cult or some otherworldly organization.
If we can find the whereabouts of this organization, we might be able to find my missing second sister.
With a plan in mind, the fourth sister began searching the entire forest, and she soon came up with a further clue: the strange rats in the forest seemed to have been affected by some unknown influence, becoming extremely aggressive.
Of course, the monsters in the entire forest are currently in rebellion, so we can't just focus on this one thing.
However, the key point is that the rat horde seems to be the first to riot, and they also seem to be the instigators of the entire monster uprising.
Of course, this is just speculation. The fourth sister searched for many strange rats but still couldn't find any clues about the second sister. This is why she said that she had little success and gained nothing.
However, the fourth sister would certainly not give up the search. In the process, she also took the portrait of her second sister drawn by her third sister and asked around, hoping to get news of her sister from other people.
This is why she attacked the monster rat squad; mainly because these rats are spread out in large numbers, making them more efficient at gathering intelligence than other monsters.
Although it hasn't been found yet...
ah~
Fourth Sister sighed softly, her worry growing heavier. Just as she was pondering her next move, the spiderweb barrier she had laid out around her suddenly stirred.
This is.....
Buzz~ Buzz~ Buzz~
To the fourth sister's surprise, a dragonfly flew through the barrier, flapping its wings as it approached her.
A letter has arrived?
Fourth Sister certainly knew what this dragonfly was. She was outside and couldn't easily contact the Spider Cave, so this dragonfly was their means of communication. However, she was a little surprised as to why the communication dragonfly had come over now.
The eldest sister was no casual person; she usually knew that there was something important to tell her in this situation. Therefore, she didn't hesitate for too long and quickly took the letter hanging on the dragonfly.
After receiving the letter, she made a hand seal, and the letter slowly unfolded. After carefully reading the information on it, her tightly furrowed brows gradually relaxed, and a glimmer of hope appeared on her gloomy face.
"So that's how it is..."
...........
The Nest of Rats, or simply the Rats' Nest, is a rather mysterious place. It is not a specific building, but a special, mysterious object.
It was a movable prop. When the Rat King first found this treasure, he was still quite young. At that time, the rat swarm was not as prosperous as it is now, and the legend of the Rat King had not yet spread. The one who led the rat swarm was just a slightly stronger rat.
The Rat King is a unique rat. In addition to being more intelligent than other rats, it also has the ability to use human magical items.
Most monsters cannot use magical items made by humans. Apart from their intelligence and other characteristics, craftsmen or mages would add a kind of restriction to the items they made to resist monsters.
The restriction itself is not complicated. As long as you know its principle, many junior mages can use it. The cost is also not high. Therefore, almost every magical item has this restriction. The stronger the item, the stronger the restriction.
But the Rat King is different; it is special. It knew this from birth, so after obtaining this special item, it quickly began to figure out how to use it.
The item is called the "Mobile Palace," a special space that allows for movement across environments. Once activated, the area within its coverage will be at the user's disposal, much like driving a car.
After obtaining this item and becoming the Rat King, the Rat King quickly used it to build his own Rat Palace, which can also be called a new Rat Nest.
As mentioned before, the Rat King is an extremely cowardly rat. If possible, it would never want to show itself in front of a powerful enemy.
This tool can perfectly fulfill its wish. First, it allows other mice to scatter throughout the forest, allowing them to build their own nests and attract the attention of others.
Then, using this tool, it carried most of the treasure and some of its minions, and began to move endlessly underground. With the cover of other rat nests and the mobility of the underground palace, it would be difficult to find it unless the other side turned up the entire forest upside down.
This is why it was so surprised that the cultists found it. If it didn't know that they were special, it would have really suspected that they were using cheats.
Of course, this doesn't change the fact that the underground palace is the Rat King's favorite and most treasured item.
Although he has lost the item, he still retains control of the main items, which the Rat King suspects is one of the reasons why the other party is chasing him.
Of course, the main reason is probably because I'm too handsome!
Since it lost its core, the underground palace could no longer move, so it could only stay at the last place it had been. As someone who knew the situation, the Rat King naturally knew where the underground palace was now!
"Is this the place...?"
Following the address given by the Rat King, Fourth Sister made her way through the woods and finally arrived at her destination.
Upon arriving at the scene, she did not act rashly. Instead, she first began to observe the surrounding environment. What came into her view was a lake that shimmered like a silver moon.
"here it is......."
Silver Moon Lake.
