Moya Village, a place that is slightly worse than Ake Village. Poor, not that they have bad customs, but in the building of the houses and the impression of the village as a whole. To put it bluntly, Moya Village is like an ordinary village with stone houses that warriors often see on the way to fight demons. Compared with the houses in Acre Village, which blend the style of Eastern and Western architecture, Moya Village is obviously only a retro Western-style house. However, the proximity to the forest by the mountains and rivers makes the scenery on the outskirts of this village quite good.

When we arrived at Moya Village, the villagers flocked to the village in anticipation. The village chief was undoubtedly taking the lead, and when he saw us speak, he said, "May I ask what is the highest class among you?"

"Level five, our third-year student representative of the Rhett Elemental Magic Academy, Yu Jingjing. ”

Xiao Hui's original intention was probably to let the villagers relax, but everyone was even more sad.

"Why is there only class five......" muttered the village chief of Potbelly.

"Class Five is already remarkable. Xiao Hui said.

A villager argued: "I heard that the magical creatures in the Strange Stone Forest are star six. If Star 1 is equivalent to Level 1, at least the Academy will have to send us a Level 6 magician. ”

The villagers echoed the birds.

"The sixth-level magician is very busy, so how can he have time to come. ”

"You can't just deal with our commission. ”

Under the complaint of the first bird, the villagers said "yes".

"You don't get much paid - the Moissanite is attractive, but it's a difficult task, and we may even be seriously injured. It's not that we are here non-stop for your sake, but I don't know if there will be students sent here in the Year of the Monkey. "Classmate Ma Chao, didn't you take over this task in a hurry when you saw Qian Yankai?

Ma Chao wanted to say that we attach great importance to this task, but there was a gap in his words, and the rising bird happened to see the needle: "It turns out that your Rhett Elemental Magic Academy is so procrastinating. We knew that we had entrusted the Wizards' Guild with magical technologists and the Templars to help us solve the incident. ”

"Who told you not to set up a connection point, otherwise we would have come to you at once, and we wouldn't have wasted so much time. ”

Josh's words were so sufflitative that he finally said to us, "Anyway, you have to destroy the monsters in the Stone Forest, this is what we said in the first place!"

The village chief motioned to the head bird to calm down and said to us, "You don't like magicians coming to our village suddenly, so there is no connection point in the village where magicians can go directly. As for the remuneration, you see, our village has a clean and honest style, everyone is pure-hearted, and they have not accumulated much property. I know that 1,000 Sok Dollars does not qualify for this kind of commission, but we really can't do anything about it.

"I'm sure you've heard that it's not a day or two before the monsters in the Strange Stone Forest come. In the past few days, the people in the village have been panicked and everyone is uneasy. Not long ago, Jack, a young man from our village, vowed to go into the forest to rescue the people who had been kidnapped by the monster, but he came back from his death and told us that we ordinary people who were not even a first-class magician could not fight against that monster.

"Our village has always believed that self-reliance is the right way to live without the help of the Academy's magicians, but now we have no choice but to entrust the generous Academy of Magic, which has a wide range of magic houses, to help us destroy monsters and save the people of the forest.

"We have prepared for the worst, even if the people in the village and the travelers passing by can't come back, even if our village is notorious, we are bound to destroy the monsters and clean up the strange stone forest. ”

Tears welled up in the corners of the village chief's eyes. Seeing him like this, Ma Chao couldn't say anything.

"Village chief, all the villagers, don't worry. A gentleman's words are difficult to chase, and I, Yu Jingjing, hereby make a military order to you, one day will not destroy the silent puppeteer, and one day will not be strange in the stone forest. ”

Xiao Hui's face was ugly, and I could guess his heart: "Jingjing, don't ......"

"Besides," Yu Jingjing asked the village chief with her fists clenched hands, "Although it is okay to rush into the Strange Stone Forest immediately, a good plan can always improve the chances of completing the task." So, if the village chief or the villagers have any information about the silent puppeteers in the forest, please know everything. ”

"Isn't that a magical creature? Since it's a magical creature, you people from the Magic Academy should know something, right?" said Yu Jingjing's tone when he asked Yu Jingjing.

"Yes. As far as we know, the culprit for this incident is the Silent Puppet of Star Six, but this is only the result of a personal investigation by a villager named Jack. ”

"You're saying that the message that Jack paid for his life was wrong?" I don't know if it was my delusion, although the Bird's voice was raised and his tone was a little tougher, he seemed uneasy.

"Jack is a brave man, this is a fact that no one can deny. But the most Jack can tell you about what he's seen and heard—or does Jack know a lot about magical creatures?"

The village chief, who wiped away his tears, said: "As the fifth-level magician said, our village doesn't know much about magical creatures, and even the information that the monster is a dark magical creature of star six is the silent puppeteer that was speculated by the teachers of your academy after we relayed Jack's last words. ”

"Which teacher is it?"

"It is none other than the dean of the Rhett Academy of Elemental Magic, Ms. Fang Dongyan. ”

Yu Jingjing pondered and said, "Since it was Ms. Fang Dongyan's conclusion, as long as Jack's description is correct, the enemy we are going to crusade against is undoubtedly the Silent Puppeteer. Just ......"

"Is it a monster that is so powerful that you can't destroy it?" the village chief wiped his sweat.

"No," Yu Jingjing said confidently, "If I can find the key point to cut into, and deal with it calmly in the battle, find the enemy's weakness or the best time to kill the enemy with one blow, even if I am a level 5 person, I can destroy the Silent Puppet of Star 6." Besides, we have so many mages here, it won't be a big problem to join forces to complete your commission. ”

Yu Jingjing's words gave great relief to the villagers of Moya Village.

"Everything we know has been told to your academy's investigators, and there's nothing left. Since each monster kidnaps someone wearing a black cloak, we can't be sure if they're puppet-like magical creatures, and it's so fast that we can't see it. ”

Yu Jingjing nodded to the village chief and asked, "Where is the body of the sacrificial young Jack?"

"Cremated. His body was examined by the Academy's investigators and was unremarkable. ”

Yu Jingjing lifted her chin and asked, "In addition to the monsters kidnapping the villagers and the victims, are there any strange things happening around here, for example, have you seen suspicious characters, or heard strange sounds?"

"Our Moya village has always had no quarrel with other villages, but it was built next to the strange stone forest, trading goods with the tourists who came to us. As soon as this terrible incident occurred, everyone was reluctant to come to our village, and the atmosphere was very desolate. ”

"I see......"

Yu Jingjing continued to think for a moment and then said to the village chief, "Time is limited, so we will set off immediately to the Strange Stone Forest. If we are killed, please don't worry, there will always be other magicians from the Academy. ”

I stuck to Xiao Hui's side and whispered in his ear, "Hui, will we be killed?"

"Release, rest assured, with Yu Jingjing and our companions, we will definitely be able to complete the task. "Hui, are you encouraging yourself?

"Village Chief, do you have any magic tools here that you can lend us?"

Only then did I realize that Ma Chao wanted the village's magic tools in order to make his magic tools consume less. This kind of selfish and petty behavior may be disgusting to others, but for me, it is a behavior that I often see in my original world, and I am not surprised.

"The only magic tools available in the village are the Moissanite gem, which is the treasure of the village. This is a reward for completing the commission, so take this with you if you need it. ”

Before Ma Chao could speak, Yu Jingjing first declined: "Thank you for the kindness of the village chief, but this is the reward that can only be obtained after the completion of the task, and we can't accept it now." ”

Ma Chao wanted to say something, but Yu Jingjing preemptively said: "Everyone, please believe us." Although we are only students, we share your hatred and will make Moya Village our own, and we will vowed to return triumphantly. ”

Yu Jingjing hugged her fists and said goodbye to the villagers, waving to us in their cheers to signal us to go. I think most of the magician students present will think that Yu Jingjing is very contrived, but Xiao Hui is already intoxicated by Yu Jingjing's heroic posture. Old classmate, if you marry Yu Jingjing, you will definitely become a strict wife, and I would love to see such a scene.

Park Ji-woo replied to me that the name of the strange stone forest comes from the unevenly distributed strange rocks in it. He said that he should not touch the strange rocks in the strange stone forest, because there were magical creatures disguised as that.

"Stone Demon, a star three-earth attribute magic creature. It often lives in the Gobi region, where there is no grass, and also inhabits the mountains with little vegetation. There are not many stone demons in the strange stone forest, so they can be regarded as outliers in the population. The weakness of the stone demons is water, gold, and ice magic, but some researchers have investigated that the stone demons in the Strange Stone Forest are not afraid of water magic and have some resistance to gold magic. The stone demon is not a magical creature that will actively attack humans, and even if a human touches it, it will simply change into its original form and flee to find another place to stay. However, if you suddenly attack the Golems with magic, they will fight back. ”

The Stone Forest is not a Black Forest, and mages are able to fly through the air with wind magic. In order to prevent us from touching the branches of the trees, Yu Jingjing deliberately controlled the wind magic so that we could fly not high above the ground.

When I passed by a pile of strange rocks, I couldn't help but let out a loud shout. The scenery was fleeting, and Yu Jingjing ignored me to quickly probe the surrounding situation.

Landing in a fairly spacious place, Yu Jingjing said to us: "The strange stone forest is divided into three parts, and it is counted gradually from the outside to the inside. The first part, the outermost part, is a relatively safe area where magical creatures are almost non-existent. The number of magical creatures in the second part will increase, and it is possible to hit them while flying in mid-air. The magical creatures in the Strange Stone Forest are no more than star four, and most of them are pacifists, people don't offend them, they don't offend people, so it's better for us to hike. The third part, and our final destination, is where the Silent Puppeteers take place. We can't know where it is, we need to take it one step at a time. ”

Yu Jingjing showed the "dog beating stick" and gave an order: "There are ten people present." Considering that there are class 1 magicians and members who have no soul equipment and amnesia, I suggest that they search for targets in groups like this: I act alone, Ma Chao acts with Yi Jiahe and Xiao Hui, and the others work in groups of two. ”

The team members and groups are as follows: Yu Jingjing, me, Xiao Hui, Ma Chao, Park Ji-woo, Suzuki Kojiro, Alex King, Josh Walker, Charlie, Adam Sanster.

"The Silent Puppeteers must contact everyone and are forbidden to fight alone, and the captives are found to be taking them back to Moya Village and then back to the Strange Stone Forest after contacting everyone. ”

"Listen," Yu Jingjing continued with a serious expression as she faced us, "You know the difficulty of this mission, and the other party is in the dark and we are in the light, so it is possible that the Silent Puppeteer will be attacked suddenly. A group of personnel must not act separately, and serious injuries are inevitable if there is a slight mistake. ”

"Don't worry," Ma Chao turned to me but said to Yu Jingjing, "I will protect them." ”

Everyone said goodbye to each other and encouraged each other.

"We must meet safely. ”

"So are you. ”

Watching Park Ji-woo and Kojiro leave, I felt very sad. Parting is really the saddest thing in the world. But when they return safely, the excitement and joy drown out all the anxiety.

"What are you doing, let's go. ”

Ma Chao turned around and was stopped by Yu Jingjing: "Class 3, I entrusted my classmates to you." ”

"Got it. ”

"If you lose them, or if you hurt them, you're ready to join us in the next life. ”

Ma Chao's eyes widened and he looked at Yu Jingjing in horror: "Is it okay to be injured?"

"Prove that you are too useless, you can't even protect two classmates, and you are not qualified to continue to be a magician. ”

Ma Chao was speechless - he was dumb and ate Coptis chinensis, and he couldn't say anything about his suffering.

"Reply!"

"Yes!"

Yu Jingjing snorted and turned to leave.

"A monster like a tigress, I wouldn't marry a woman like that. Ma Chao hugged his arms and trembled.

Xiao Hui wanted to speak and stopped. I guess that Xiao Hui will be angry when the girl he likes is said by others, but as soon as he thinks that he is just a magician of class one, his inferiority complex hits, and he feels that he is not qualified to like Yu Jingjing, or that he is not capable of saying it to Ma Chao.

"Hui, what is that piece of thing that Yu Jingjing gave you?" On the surface, I was asking Xiao Hui what Yu Jingjing had distributed to everyone, but in fact, I was diverting Xiao Hui's attention.

"This?"

Xiao Hui handed me the flat black rectangular object. I touched it and it felt like smooth marble.

"What kind of material is it made of?"

"Special metals. ”

"Oh...... If it were a few more buttons and jacks, I would have thought it was a phone. I laughed.

"You can think of this as a cell phone. ”

"What?"

Xiao Hui retrieved the metal block and said to it, "Activate." ”

The metal block floated from Xiao Hui's hand, and the picture appeared on the black surface.

"Contact Yu ...... Contact Alex King. ”

Unlike the Academy of Magic ATMs, the metal block does not appear to have an artificial intelligence that can speak voice. I saw a black classmate appear on the screen - no, Alex was squeezed out by Josh's face.

"Is there a situation?" said Josh with a nervous face.

"Nope. I'm giving Yi Jia and a look at how to use the contact machine. ”

"No special circumstances......

Josh floats away in the middle of the air in the picture of a metal block, and Alex appears.

"Xiao Hui, where are you now?"

"It wasn't long ago. ”

I heard Josh's "they're slow" voice over there.

"Where have you been?" I asked Alex.

"Probably in the middle of the second part...... You can see where we are if you look at the location. ”

"Can you still see the positioning of this?"

Xiao Hui nodded and replied to me: "The liaison machine can not only contact the other party, but also determine the location of the other party. ”

"Hey, Class 10, a word of advice, the Silent Puppeteers may not be in the center of the Strange Stone Forest, which is in the third district. Don't be confused and hurry to collide with it, we won't have time to save you, and you won't even know how you died. ”

"Crow's beak of the third class, you take care of yourself. Maybe you met the Silent Puppeteer before we did, and then no one came to save you when you cried and cried for your mother. ”

Ma Chaochong said: "I am the third class, you are the second class, you are the one who takes care of yourself." ”

Alex in the picture turned his head disdainfully, and then turned back and said: "Xiao Hui, if Ma Chao only cares about running for his life and abandons you, you can contact us by contact, and we will definitely rush to your side and chase Ma Chao to the ends of the earth." ”

Ha, in Alex's mind, Ma Chao is already a bad guy.

"Save it, you still want to hunt me down? Don't you look at how many catties and taels you have?"

Alex wanted to say something, but was covered by Ma Chao.

"Hung up. Ma Chao said to Xiao Hui.

"Class 3, what are you doing, we haven't finished talking yet. ”

Xiao Hui was embarrassed.

"I just hate the fact that the contact machine can't be turned off if it's not the person who started it. As he spoke, Ma Chao stuffed the metal block into his pocket.

Alex's voice disappeared, and I thought it was the contact machine that turned off automatically, but Xiao Hui said that it was over there to end the communication.

"Investigate what, and hit when you meet. Ma Chao was referring to Yu Jingjing's previous statement not to enter the Strange Stone Forest directly.

"Be careful to sail the ship of ten thousand years, Yu Jingjing ......"

Xiao Hui was halfway through his words, and a black shadow passed through the trees in front of him. When we found the anomaly, we all stopped, waiting for the black shadow to manifest itself.
