Stone carved owls are different from the birds of prey that cheese once transformed into at night. The long eared owls transformed by cheese and other similar owls will be frightening at night, but they are not disgusting in the sun. After all, no matter how docile an animal is in the dark night, it will be frightening, even people themselves.
However, the owl carved by the statue in front of KAILAS is not. When there are a large group of hungry dogs under the column on the corridor with sufficient light source, it is not easy to make the fear of cat goblins go to another level by shape alone, because fear will numb people, but it did it.
Of course, this is because the owl in the statue is different from the birds in the impression of carras, and this difference is not caused by the carelessness or lack of technology of the carving craftsmen. On the contrary, the workmanship of the statue is very exquisite, and even the lines on each feather are lifelike.
Because of this, its shape will make people feel full of malice, as if it was deliberately carved into this terrible shape.
The owl depicted in the statue has almost no hair on its head, neither fluff nor feathers, and only a few do not know whether it is tentacles or something else. It grows asymmetrically and irregularly on its head and face.
This is uncomfortable enough, but it''s far more than that. The eyes of the statue were about half larger than those of an ordinary owl. The huge eyes were replaced by two dark balls embedded in them. I don''t know what kind of gemstones or minerals they are. It only made people feel lifeless, as if they were looking at a pool of stagnant water for hundreds of years. Under the huge eyeball is an open mouth.
The reason why it is a huge mouth is that the mouth has exceeded the proportion that should be occupied by the mouth of birds such as owls. In addition, it is still open, which is even more disturbing.
And in that open mouth, there is a face. This face is the first element of Kellas''s fear, but he soon found that the so-called face is actually only the pattern of the lower chamber and upper chamber of the depicted bird, not the actual face.
But this only made the cat goblin''s fear of the sculpture become uneasy. The feeling of being on his back, the stiffness of his joints and the absence of cold did not disappear, but there was a stronger trend.
It is reasonable to say that as a person whose physical age is much older than his appearance, or as a goblin who travels between two worlds, and has seen the existence of worm evil gods with cheese, his acceptance ability may have been strong beyond ordinary people''s imagination, that is, tomorrow the sun turns into the moon and the moon turns into a wheel. He is estimated to be able to calm down in the shortest time.
But even so, he can''t deny the impact of the statue in front of him at this time. All kinds of faces can be found from the statue''s face. When it appears in front of him as a whole, it is like a pair of invisible cold hands sliding gently against your spine.
It took Kairas a lot of effort to resist the impulse to pull out his sword to cut the statue. His reason told him that this thing definitely not only plays the role of frightening and ridicule. This is the base camp of the mage. In addition to moving, the statue must have other functions.
As if to confirm the cat goblin''s guess, dirty and smelly liquid began to flow out of the open bird''s beak. The liquid was extremely viscous and felt like a stone statue vomiting.
But those liquids were not poisons or soft creatures. The cat goblin soon realized that it was just a mixture of rust and grease produced by the mechanism in the statue that had not operated for too long.
As for the way of judgement, Caillas''s nose has recorded at least several thousand kinds of odors he has smelled. Even in the most critical cases, his brain can still extract accurate information from the smell memory library for the first time.
"Vomit... Poof!" the fear was diluted because he recognized the smell. Although the strange feeling did not completely disappear, Kalas calmly avoided the sticky substance from the statue''s mouth.
However, the hounds below were not so lucky. An elf dog barking at the cat goblin happened to eat the lump of black unknown substance. The barking immediately turned into a whine and lay on the ground trying to spit out the things in his mouth.
"So, what is this? If what should have been shot out of the mouth is a crossbow, the angle is also wrong. According to this angle, it can only shoot at a target at the same height as the top of the column."
Kairas tilted his mouth and the sand blade in his hand gradually took shape. He was considering whether to wait for the statue to start normally, or whether it would be a better choice to push it down now if the statue could not start normally.
However, the things spit out before seem to be the last threshold blocking the operation of the statue. After it is excluded, melodious music begins to appear in the mouth of the statue. The music was something that carras had never heard before, but it seemed to have heard. Although it came from such a terrible statue, he couldn''t help feeling relaxed and happy.
Not only the cats and goblins, but also the elves and dogs under the column gradually quieted down after hearing the music, and even fell down to rest. Music, or sound, can indeed affect the behavior of hearing creatures to a certain extent, but the current situation is not so easy to explain.
"Magic, no, if it''s magic, it doesn''t make sense to affect me. What is it?"
As an excellent soldier, Kellas noticed the changes in his body and mood for the first time. He knew that the source of the change was obviously the statue in front of him, but what he couldn''t understand was how the statue worked.
Can it be said that the mages here have mastered the magic that can affect the goblins? Combined with the emergence of ELF dogs, it seems not completely impossible. In the final analysis, the goblins can''t tell what the reason is for the goblins'' resistance to the world''s magic. The mages can''t tell. If someone can figure out the reason, maybe there is a way to crack it.
"Have you calmed down? Distinguished guest." the music in the statue stopped slowly and was replaced by an old voice. The sound reminded Kellas of the sound of the wind blowing through the dry tree hole.
"Guest? I''ve never heard of the way to keep a guest in a cell and send a hound to guard outside." the cat goblin said coldly, and the sand blade in his hand had not dispersed.
"Sorry, although I guessed what you should say, this statue doesn''t have the function of radio. It can only convey my words. So if you have anything to say, please tell me face to face."
The statue then turned away and fell into silence. At this time, the mage in charge of the hound finally rushed to the column panting and glared at Kairas.
The cat goblin tilted his head, thought for two seconds, then jumped down and pointed the sand blade at each other''s neck!
Just when the latter raised his arms to defend, Kalas had pointed his head with his toes and landed gracefully on the ground behind the mage. He turned the sword of sand into a crutch and leaned on it with one foot.
"Take me to your boss, boy."
