Chapter 5 Windfall

Certainly not drowning!

On this corpse, there was also a crossbow bolt nearly a meter long, which Merlin knew was fired from a special crossbow machine, usually placed on a ship or airship. In other words, this wizard was hunted down.

Seeing that there didn't seem to be much around, Merlin dragged the body ashore and examined it...... She had no resistance to dead bodies, and she had seen more disgusting corpses than this one in her anatomy class. The person has long been out of breath, and because the blood has been drained along the wound, the wound is bleeding and seeping. But what is certain is that the person who has been dead for a short time is not very long, that is, the person who killed him will definitely track him down if he wants to confirm whether the person is dead or not.

Being able to kill an official wizard is something Merlin can't afford to provoke anyway, and she subconsciously pushes the corpse into the water.

This is an official wizard!

Merlin glanced around like a thief, and her two small hands immediately searched the corpse...... A moment later, a palm-sized leather pocket appeared on her hand.

"Storage bags!" Merlin smiled.

This is a storage bag that looks quite good, this kind of storage bag is a space witch, the size of the space in it is different, it can store the corresponding volume of items, and it has the effect of keeping fresh. Generally speaking, with the exception of official wizards or a very small number of extremely wealthy wizard apprentices, most of them are wrapped in magic, and the latter is not comparable to the former at all.

With this storage bag alone, it was definitely earned, and Merlin didn't believe it was an empty bag.

"Huh, this ring seems to be a magic wizard as well. Merlin noticed that the black ring on the corpse's right hand seemed to be something special, and she took it off

However, now is clearly not the time to inspect the loot, not only will the pursuers of the wizard search for it at any time, but a huge figure of a snow crocodile has already appeared on the water in the distance.

"Dust to dust, water to water, presumably you don't want your relics to be obtained by the enemy, and the younger generation can only desecrate your corpse. "Merlin is indeed a little sorry, she was originally going to hide the body properly, but in this way, it undoubtedly left a clue for the pursuer, and in the hands of the wizard, there are many means to track down.

Merlin quickly took a crocodile egg from a nearby pocket, broke it, poured it on the corpse, and threw it into the river...... At the moment when the crocodile egg shattered, the snow crocodile that was swimming towards it was already angry, and before the corpse could fall into the river, it had already turned nimbly in the water and chased away.

Merlin didn't waste time, she put the bag containing the crocodile egg and the ring into the storage bag without looking, then put it away, quickly cleared the traces she had left on the shore, and then returned to the academy the way she came.

Behind her, an angry snow crocodile tore at the corpse as if it were venting, and in a few moments it was torn apart like a cow, and the tattered robes and shreds were swept away by the rushing river.

"Damn it!"

A few hours later, near a whirlpool near the shore somewhere downstream, several men in wizard costumes looked at the broken half of the robe in their hands, frustrated...... There is no doubt that the body of the target person has been attacked by a crocodile and has been torn to pieces, and as for what he has on his body, either it has entered the stomach of a crocodile, or it has washed away with the river somewhere, I am afraid that even the strongest people in this continent will not be able to find it.

"My lord, what now?" asked a wizard apprentice behind him.

"Hmph! ”

The wizard at the head snorted and added, "Report the situation first, and wait for the notification while searching." ”

……

Merlin didn't know all this, she didn't care, now she was like a person who suddenly became rich, she was nervous all day, even if others looked at her, they would feel weird. In order not to be discovered by others, she still did what she did as usual, selling all her prey, and finally having dinner, giving Chiba an hour-long lesson.

"Merlin, do you have something on your mind? Could it be that Phil is harassing you again?" asked Qianyu with concern.

"Nope. Maybe it's because I'm too tired today. Of course, Merlin wouldn't tell anyone what had happened to her, and she didn't even tell anyone about the discarded potion.

"Oh, then you get some rest. Qianyu looked at her suspiciously, and left.

After Qian Yu left, Mei Lin closed the door and carefully checked the doors and windows before taking out the storage bag...... For fear of being exposed, she didn't even dare to sell those snow crocodile eggs, and now she only hopes that this pocket can live up to its name.

"Hey, there's a lot of space. Mei Lin checked a little and found that there was at least twenty cubic meters of space in this storage bag, which was already a very high-grade storage bag, and it contained a lot of things.

There was a 'bang' and a large pile of stuff poured out of the storage bag.

Of course, Jin Huanghuang is the common currency in the ordinary world, there are hundreds of them, but these things are not very attractive to wizards, unless she wants to go out and be a rich woman.

What caught Mei Lin's eye was more than a hundred magic stones, and with these magic stones, she could buy some better potions, which might help her cultivation.

"It's ...... Top-grade condensing elixir!" Merlin drew five test tubes from the gold coin, two of which contained liquids colored like mercury, which were clearly the best quality condensing elixirs.

This kind of medium-grade medicine, one can replace hundreds of similar medicines, you can imagine its value, even if it is a formal apprentice, you can't afford it.

"Hehe, with these two potions, maybe you can really advance to the first level of apprenticeship. Merlin almost jumped for joy.

Be low-key!

She took two deep breaths in quick succession before she calmed down and checked her other findings.

The other three test tubes are not ordinary potions, two are poison mist potions, and one is a frost potion, although the attack power is not strong, but for her, it is exactly the right one.

In addition to that, there are six or seven small spell scrolls. This kind of spell scroll is a spell model copied on a special paper in advance, and when it encounters an attack target, it can be triggered with mental power, which is suitable for Merlin's use, but what makes Merlin depressed is that the spell model recorded in these spell scrolls is also a very low-level zero-level spell, which inevitably makes Merlin a little disappointed.

"It's also a formal wizard, and it's not cold to smash people with this kind of scroll. Merlin muttered, picking up the black ring.
