Chapter 402: Brain Eater
"Hello, Mr. Veran. ”
"I am Muse Newton, a mid-level mage, a member of the mage organization 'Elemental Blades'. ”
With a slight smile, Muse introduced himself as well.
"Oh?"
"I didn't expect Mr. Muse to have a bright future. ”
"As far as I know, the Elemental Blade is not something that ordinary mages can join, and they must be impressed by outstanding research results. ”
Veran showed a look of surprise and praised.
"The benefits of being able to enter such a well-known mage organization are not ordinary. ”
Shaking his head slightly, the muse replied with a smile:
"Mr. Veran, aren't you also a member of the Edge of Order. ”
"There must be a unique research result that belongs to ...... individual"
“......”
After a pointless, back-and-forth greeting, Veran finally took the opportunity to turn the conversation to the house that Muse had bought.
"Before I moved in, the house was in a state of ruin. ”
"At that time, I was curious, but I didn't pay much attention to it because I was busy. ”
"It's been 10 years now. ”
Veran's tone was filled with emotion of time flying.
"And later, I found out that there was a magic web loophole there, and it was a terrifying dead demon area!"
"It is said that one of the owners of the house had an accident while trying to master the powerful nine-ring spell 'Mistral', and the rampant spell energy broke through the laboratory, creating a hole in the magic net in the raging. ”
"After that accident, the house was abandoned"
"I didn't expect to see it change recently, it has been renovated and has a new owner. ”
"Then my curiosity drove me to pay a visit. ”
"You know what happened after that, Mr. Muse. ”
Nodding, from Veran's words, the muse finally learned the cause of the loophole in the magic net.
To be honest, it's about the same as he guessed.
The protective nine-ring spell "Mistral's Mist" can create a cloud that covers an area, and at the same time interferes with the connection between the caster and the magic net within the area covered by the cloud, greatly increasing the difficulty of casting.
To put it simply, it's artificially made.
And when it gets out of control, it is indeed possible for the spell energy to tear apart the magic net and form a loophole in the magic net.
However, in the beginning, it is difficult to say whether this spell really got out of control due to an accident or was done on purpose......
"So, Mr. Muse, how would you be willing to buy this house covered by a magic web loophole?"
As Veran asked this, the air behind his head seemed to shake silently, and an extremely secret fluctuation melted into it.
"Huh. ”
"The Magic Web vulnerability is really a big problem. ”
"However, due to the special profession I work in, and some credit for my personal research results, it has not had a big impact on me, so I guess it can be tolerated. ”
The muse's eyes darkened slightly, but he only gave a vague, but plausible answer.
"Oh?"
"Is that so?"
"Well, maybe we can do some spell research ......"
"I have a hunch that it will all be good for us. ”
Veran's smile grew brighter and brighter.
"That doesn't seem like a bad thing......"
In the face of Muse's reply, Veran seemed to want to say something, but at this moment, he saw someone waving at him in the distance, so he could only continue with apologies.
"Mr. Muse, though it was a pleasure to talk to you. ”
"But I'm sorry to be out of company now. ”
"We'll talk about that later. ”
"Now it's all at your own leisure. ”
"If you don't like the food, you can ask the maid to prepare it for you......"
After a few words, he stood up, made an apologetic mage, and held out his right hand to the muse.
And the muse hurriedly stood up, and after giving a salute in return, he also stretched out his right hand and shook it with Veran's hand.
After Veran had walked away, he sat back in his original position......
After the mage's salon ended, the muse was sent out of the courtyard by Veran, and the friendly atmosphere between the two was like that of old friends who had known each other for many years.
When they said goodbye to each other, Veran turned back, and the Muse kept moving forward.
Then, the eyes of Muse, who had lowered his head slightly, were a little darker than usual, and even looked a little dull, instantly regained their clarity.
Looking at Wilan's back out of the corner of his eye, he showed a sneer of disdain at the corner of his mouth:
"With this ability, you also want to exert a spiritual influence on me?"
"Still, a mere demon sorcerer. ”
"But he can have this level of mental ability. ”
"Even the Psychic Resistance Armor has broken through. ”
“......”
And this kind of twisted and strange fluctuation is by no means emitted by ordinary things. ”
"Is it some derivative of an ancient evil?"
As he spoke, the muse lowered his right hand closed, and then held the wisp of breath he had captured in the palm of his hand, and a trace of scanning aura quickly covered it.
"...... under analysis
"Breath Feature Extraction ......"
"Logical Comparison ......"
"Comparison complete!"
"The source of the breath is a brain-eating worm!"
The image of an ugly and distorted little bug about half the size of a little finger, with a dark green skin covered with strange patterns, was projected onto the muse's retina by Elijah and Elijah, and his eyes suddenly became much deeper.
"Is it a brain-eating bug?"
Then, next to the image of this scene, as Illya and Elijah searched the database, rows of data began to swipe.
"Species: Monsters"
Name:
"Creature Level: 12+"
"Challenge Level: 8+"
"Attribute Speculation: Constitution 0.5+, Strength 0.5+, Agility 3+, Spirit 15+"
“......”
"Ability Speculation: Brain Erosion, Spiritual Erosion, Seducing Humans, Seducing Monsters......"
“......”
"Description: The Brain Eater Worm is a kind of demon insect that can control the mind of living beings bred by special evil things, and belongs to parasitic monsters."
"Generally dark green worm-like, small in size, usually hidden in the host's brain. ”
"The brainworm feeds on the host's brain, and can gradually acquire the host's memories as it grows, and eventually completely devours the host's brain, replacing it with the host's remaining ** body, at which point it usually maintains the host's life trajectory until it is transferred to the next host. ”
"The Braineater is very fragile in its body, but it usually has strong mental abilities, and is able to break through most common mental protections, affecting surrounding creatures, causing them to unconsciously ignore the abnormalities of their hosts. ”
"At the same time, since it is usually hidden deep in the host's brain, it has a great chance of directly controlling the host in battle when encountering danger, so it is necessary to calculate the host strength bonus ...... when dealing with it."
