Chapter 238: The Problem of Magic
"Ah, it's an adventurer, I've been waiting for you for a long time. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info" While telling this completely unauthoritative lie, the guard wiped the saliva that had been flowing from his sleep and continued, "How about it, Lord Adventurer, this village of ours is not bad. ”
"Indeed, except for the unbearable temperature at night, it is indeed a good village. ”
"Ahaha, indeed, indeed. If you are a foreigner, this temperature difference will definitely not be able to stand it. The guard didn't understand Lian's taunt, but continued to speak on his own. "But the adventurer should be able to enjoy two seasons in one day, big man, big man. ”
"Hah...... That's simple, by the way, didn't you say you'd give me information about that monster called the Maccio if I came here this morning. ”
"That's right, that's right. The guard said this, and then, his expression changed from the previous appearance to very serious.
He first looked around and made sure that no one was eavesdropping, and then quietly put his head close to Lian's ear.
"I'll tell you the truth, our village is a bit of a problem right now. You can feel it, too, the strange atmosphere on the street. ”
"Finally willing to tell me the truth? Lian sighed slightly and continued. "Indeed, I have already felt that the atmosphere on the street is indeed a little uncomfortable, and they are full of enthusiasm before the transaction, but after the transaction, they hold their coins tightly as if someone is going to snatch them. Not only the buyer, but also the seller. ”
"That ......," said the guard, looking around again. "Because lately there have been thieves on the streets. ”
"Thieves?" Well, although there is indeed a thief-infested atmosphere on this street, if that's the case, you will be careful before trading, so why wait for the transaction to be so careful?
"Well, there's no way around it. The guard moved closer to Lian's ear again. "The thief only robbed or stole money at the moment after someone else traded, so there was a consensus in this market. Money stolen after a transaction is not allowed to be recovered from the purchaser, and this has been a rule in our village for more than a hundred years. ”
"No, wait...... More than 100 years? That means it's been ......."
"Yes, this has been going on for more than a hundred years, although during this time there have been a few adventurers who have come to our village to solve the mystery. But the adventurers involved in this matter have basically died tragically, and the death is very inhumane...... It looks like he must have been subjected to a lot of torture before he died. Therefore, I think it is better for the adventurer not to go too deep into this matter. ”
I see, the first thing he said was to give Lian a preventive shot, according to what this guard said, there has been no adventurer in this village for a long time, and since it is not easy for an adventurer to enter his own village, then it would be a great loss to die early, probably such a theory.
"Well, I didn't come to this village to meddle in my own affairs, so I'll listen to your advice and leave it alone. ”
"Whew. That's fine. The guard, who wiped the sweat that didn't know when, took a big breath, and then returned to the way he was before.
"Anyway, what the adventurer needs is the information of the scorpion tiger. ”
"Well,After all, if there are monsters around the village, I'm still going to deal with it,Well,There's no doubt that Lian said this sentence only said general.,Dealing with monsters is indeed a goal of oneself.,But the more important goal is to confirm the ecology of the monsters living in this world.,After all, for Lian, he said that he doesn't know the world very well.。 The only thing we know now is that this world has lasted for a very long time and the temperature difference between day and night is very large.
"Well, since the adventurer is for our village, I can't hide it...... Although I want to say that. The guard rubbed his head and said embarrassedly, "Because the strength of that scorpion tiger is basically beyond our control, we really don't have much information about this guy, and if we can, we can only provide the adventurer with all we know." ”
"Well...... "It's true that Lian didn't want them to be able to reveal the specific news to Lian from the beginning, but it doesn't matter, as long as he knows the specific location, Lian himself can check it carefully.
"Well, first of all, his lair was in a cave on the edge of the prairie to the west. No, that's over there. The guard pointed him in the right direction. But what is very strange is that the direction of his finger is indeed the edge wall where the cave where he was refined.
Over there? Why are you over there? Obviously, when I came down before, I didn't notice the existence of a monster called a scorpion tiger. That guy......
"And then that guy looks like a tiger with a scorpion's tail, and it's more than three meters long, and it's very ferocious, and we have three guards to provoke that guy and they all die. ”
Synth Beast?Listening to the monster introduced by this guard, Lian suddenly thought of a monster called Synthetic Beast. Synthetic beasts, also known as Chimera, are basically forcibly combined into a kind of monster by two monsters with fierce personalities, and if Lian is right, the monster he introduced in his mouth is undoubtedly a type of synthetic beast.
"yes, then I'll take a look at it. "It's very easy, Lian has already taken over this task, of course, the reason has been mentioned earlier, so I won't repeat it here.
"Then please, Adventurer. Seeing that Lian had accepted the task, the guard directly handed Lian an announcement. "This is the announcement of this quest, if you defeat that monster, you can use some of the characteristic items on its body to get rewards from me, pay attention to the adventurer, it must be an easily recognizable part of the monster's body. ”
"Got it. Lian took the announcement directly, and then quickly left the small village.
……
After walking for half an hour, Lian had completely left the village, but he didn't go in the direction that the guard said. That place had been completely scouted when he came down, and there was no scorpion tiger's lair or anything that could prove the existence of such a monster, so Lian set off directly towards the place with the higher life energy that Jack perceived.
"Jack, you come out first. Suddenly, Lian thought of something, and Jack came out of Lian's body directly with a sense of powerlessness.
"Mom, what's wrong?" saw Jack's face for the first time in a long time, and Lian had a smile on his face. "It's been a long time, Jack. ”
"Mom...... Well, yes, long time no see. "Although the Jack who looks a little cold storage is also a little cute, but the current Jack makes the heart of Lian more excited, and this heart is not the heart of the opposite sex, but ...... How to say it, it's a bit like a synonym of father's love, in short...... No matter what Jack says, it's just a lovely daughter. What's wrong with seeing your lovely daughter's heartbeat.
"Jack, let's get down to business, how is this world?" looked at the sky, it was cloudless, and the sun, which was slightly larger than the original world of Lian, emitted a dazzling light, and the rising temperature also made Lian's forehead slowly ooze sweat.
"Mom, the air quality in this world seems to be better than the original world. The amount of magic gathered in the air of this world was so great that it was as if no one had ever used magic, even a little. As he spoke, Jack directly produced a small mist in his hand, and then this mist began to spread endlessly, and it had already spread to a range of 100 meters in a short time, and it looked like it would spread indefinitely if it was not controlled.
"Mom. While holding Lian's hand, Jack quickly dissipated the released mist.
"I see. Of course, the next moment the fog dissipated, Lian already understood what Jack meant. With Jack holding hands, Lian already clearly felt the flow of magic. Although the magic power had indeed been swallowed by the fog while it was still there, when Jack dissipated the fog, the magic power that had been swallowed up was replenished in an instant. "This ...... It's not like the newborn world at all. "Even Lian knows that the capacity of the magic power of the newborn world is basically unlimited, even if a little magic power is used, the stored magic power will directly replace the magic power that was swallowed just now.
"Whew...... Other than that. "Although I am very happy to have more mana, it is a pity that I can't use so much mana to refine this mist, so even if I have so much mana, it is only ......
"Huh?" "Mana, mana, fake pear blossom, supply, these words were directly spliced together in Lian's head after hearing the words just now. "Mom, you thought of it too, didn't you? ”
Jack smiled slightly, and directly pointed out the direction of Lian. "In that direction, there is the mark of another area being consumed with mana. And not just once, if I didn't guess, mom ......"
Is that location the location where the fake pear blossom is linked to this world...... "Damn, I didn't think of it at the beginning, it's really ......"
"Mom, don't blame yourself, I only felt it today when I released the fog. Obviously, the magic power of that space will not be abundant to this extent, but the weapon I released can be devoured endlessly, so I will only prove it directly when it comes out. ”
Originally, Lian was going to let Jack come out to find out how the structure of this world was different from the original world, but who knew that just one action would have accomplished one of the purposes of coming to this world.
