Whispering Verse

Thinking in his mind, Shade, who was standing at the end of the "forest path", raised his head and looked across the "forest" and "city" towards the "castle" at the end:

"We agreed that if I save the princess and finish your puppet show, you will change everyone back."

"You can actually turn into a puppet and still talk? You are worthy of being favored by Him. I mean what I say, don't worry about that. I have sworn to the gods. I hope our story will be interesting."

The funny voice fell and the singing voice appeared:

“Act 1: The Giant of the Forest:

The knight entered the forest and met the princess maid who was being chased by jackals. He wanted to save the beautiful girl and get information about the princess. "

With the funny humming of the puppets hidden behind the castle, the dolls wearing black and white maid skirts, chased by more than a dozen wild wolf puppets, "jumped out" from the dense tree models next to the forest path, just like these puppets It had been hidden inside all along.

Of course, whether they are maids or wild wolves, these puppets are also controlled by silk threads, which results in more than ten disks floating above the models as if they are controlled by invisible hands.

It is worth mentioning that those wild wolf puppets are also palm-sized, just like human puppets, so they should be called "giant wolves". As for the face of the maid puppet, no matter how you look at it, it is Miss Sirius Grand Lassus who went to solve the land pollution problem with Shade yesterday.

She seemed to be controlling her body by herself. Although she was not very skilled, she still ran towards Shade quickly and waved her hands to try to express something. Those "ferocious" wild wolf puppets then rushed over, and Shade in puppet form took a deep breath:

"Moonlight Slash!"

The puppet's hands clapped together, then tilted to draw an arc of moonlight. At that moment, Miss Lacers felt the threat of death, but the bright light just passed her by, and then split the wolf puppet behind her into two pieces.

This made Xia De, who originally thought he would face a difficult battle, feel happy:

"It's not a very strong confinement halo!"

[According to the plot of the story, how can the enemy who appears first be strong? 】

she asked with a chuckle.

Under the consumption of spirit, more than a dozen silver moonlight halos flew out with Shade's fisting movements, hitting the wild wolves accurately. One was put around the neck of each puppet, and then the puppets fell down on the path of the model forest.

Miss Lassers had already run to Shad's side at this time, but unfortunately, although Shad's puppet could speak, Miss Lassers's puppet did not have the ability to speak, so the lady could only gesture anxiously. ——You can see the anxiety from the speed of waving. Unfortunately, Shade doesn’t understand sign language either.

"The heroic knight rescued the beautiful maid and learned the way to the castle from her. The maid decided to go forward with the knight to rescue the imprisoned princess."

Amidst the funny singing, the environment that was originally blocked by the tree models in front of the forest path changed. As the pulleys rolled, the site model itself began to move. The trees moved away, and there was a road ahead of the trail that led further.

Miss Sirius Grand Lassus was still gesticulating to Shade. Shade looked at her with some trouble, and then a dark chain shot out of his sleeve.

The chain did not attack anyone. Instead, it snaked toward the floor behind him and penetrated deep into Shade's pile of fallen belongings.

Not long after, Sin Chain dragged back some items. They were long swords, long bows, and a pot of toy arrows in the form of metal toys. Shade had originally brought them with him for emergencies, but at this moment, Miss Lassers could just pick them up.

At the same time, the brass ring that Shade really wanted to get was also pulled into the forest path. Probably because this was not a relic that aided combat, the puppet did not stop Shade from doing this.

[Fish Training Ring] The radius at this time is thicker than the waist of Puppet Shade, but fortunately, similar relic rings have the function of adapting to the size of the wearer. When Shade stretched out his finger towards it, the ring automatically shrank and clasped the puppet's knuckles. Shade in puppet form said:

"Miss Grande, I know the current situation is complicated, but it looks like we are going to move forward together. Please wear this ring, it will allow you to speak."

After saying that, he took off the ring and handed it to Miss Lassers, who put it on:

"Oh my God, I can finally speak."

Shade's voice was consistent with his own voice when he spoke, but Miss Lassers's voice was clearly that of a puppet:

"Mr. Watson, it's me, Miss Grande. My companion and I encountered an accident before we were trapped by this sage-level relic. I'm really sorry for dragging you into this matter."

She said quickly in a rather annoyed tone:

"I can cast spells in this form, but my spellcasting ability is severely weakened, at least not to your level. However, the strength and speed of this puppet's body are very good. Mr. Watson, please work with me to save my Companion, I know this is difficult, but I swear that you will gain the friendship of the Golden Dawn and receive the reward you deserve."

Although the puppet couldn't make too complicated expressions, her tone was particularly sincere, and this was what Shade was waiting for:

"Actually, I can't leave even if I want to. No problem, let's move forward together, I will rescue that lady."

Miss Lassus then put on her arrow basket, picked up her long sword, picked up her long bow, and followed Shade along the path in the forest.

The puppet hiding behind the castle model continued to hum happily:

"The maid brought information: If you want to open the door to the upper level of the castle, you need to obtain the heart of the forest giant, the ring of the evil wizard and the long sword of the royal knight of the controlled castle. For the beautiful princess, the knights from other places have to challenge Giant in the forest.”

The site of the model forest is still moving, but this time it is the model under the feet of Shade and the others that is moving. The path led the two of them forward, finally stopping at a fork in the forest. A road sign stood in the center of the fork in the road, with "Abandoned Royal Capital" written on the left and "Giant's House" written on the right.

Shade looked back at Miss Lassers' puppet following behind him:

"It looks like there will be a battle later. Let me make it clear first that I have also been weakened in my puppet form. I have little power now and there are too many things I can't do. I need your help."

"I will cooperate. But your power is not weak, at least it is stronger than mine."

said the sorceress's puppet, walking with him to the right. The model was not that big, so after walking a few steps, I saw a forest clearing at the end of the trail. A humanoid puppet, about the size of five or six Shade puppets, was lying on the clearing and sleeping.

Although this puppet is not too big for normal people, to Miss Shade and Miss Lassers in their current state, it is indeed considered a giant.

Shade had no intention of fighting a fair duel with this kind of thing. He stretched out his hand to draw a moonlight cross in front of him, then turned sideways and bumped forward.

The sneak attack worked as expected. The Silver Moon Cross hit the giant, but it only left a deep cross mark on the puppet and did not kill the enemy at once.

"Sure enough it won't be that easy."

"The knight launched a duel of honor against the giant in the forest. The enraged giant woke up from his slumber and decided to teach the two villains a lesson."

Amidst the funny sounds of the puppet, the giant puppet also got up from the ground. It also cannot speak, but when it hits its chest with both hands, it can make a terrifying thumping sound.

The halo of confining light flew towards the giant, but was crushed into pieces by the giant's palm. Miss Lassus shot arrows that actually had a simple alchemical enchantment effect, but these arrows were unable to affect the huge body. Too big an effect.

But the good news is that the giant in the forest moves very slowly. Although it is difficult for Shad and Miss Lassers to effectively attack him, even if it bends down to attack Shad and the two, it cannot hit the target accurately.

"Thunder gun!"

The toothpick-like silver thunder was thrown upward by Shade, hitting the huge body, but it only paralyzed it for a second.

"That does not work."

Shade said to Miss Lassers while dodging the attack:

"Even if I still have the ability to cast spells, I can't effectively attack it. Madam, I think it must have a so-called vital point. I will hold it back later. Please try to take advantage of this opportunity to attack the vital point."

"But what's the point?"

Miss Lassus dodged the giant's bent fist. She was gradually adapting to this stiff body, so she understood better how surprising it was that Mr. "John Watson" could be so flexible at this time. . Considering that he can speak directly, his spell-casting ability seems to be slightly weakened, and he has special purification abilities, Miss Lassers believes that this is a unique man.

"Since we want to take the giant's heart, the key point should be on its chest - the chain of sin!"

The giant bent down to attack Shade again. This time Shade did not dodge, but released a dark chain towards the giant's fist.

The chain with the four runes of Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, and Wrath could even imprison a seriously injured demon under normal conditions, but at this time it only prevented the giant from moving.

One end of the chain tied the giant's wrist, and it pulled hard on the chain, trying to pull Shad up. Shade pulled the chain with the same force. For a moment, the two people, who were hugely different in size, were in a stalemate:

"The power of the red dragon! Hurry, Miss Lassers!"

Hastily, Shade realized that he had called the other party's real name instead of "Miss Grande," but Miss Lassers didn't seem to notice this. The small doll ran to the giant's feet, and then struggled to climb up its legs.

During the wrestling process, Shade felt that his entire puppet body was shaking, but surprisingly he was not at a disadvantage.
