Chapter XXII, Bronze Medal
"Well, thanks for the suggestion, I see. After hearing these words, Wang Mu couldn't help but have a little more respect for Ivan.
Ivan smiled casually, pulled out a leather bag from his backpack, walked over to the corpse of the sludge monster that had been burned to death, and stuffed the remnants of the fire into it.
Wang Musilly stood aside and watched, and suddenly he thought of a question, so he asked Ivan, "Brother Ivan, what is this mud monster?"
Ivan put down the work in his hand, looked at Wang Mu and frowned: "Didn't your teacher teach you?"
"The teachers of the academy haven't taught us this!" Wang Mu said tangledly.
Ivan sighed and said, "I mean the teacher who helped you awaken your magic. ”
Wang Mu immediately replied, "No one helped me awaken my magic power. ”
Hearing this, Ivan said with a little surprise: "Could it be that it is the magic power that you have awakened!"
He looked Wang Mu up and down carefully, and continued: "And who gave you the demonic beast on your shoulder? This little guy looks very powerful!"
Wang Mu scratched his head, and he didn't know what to say for a while.
Suddenly, Ivan seemed to think of something, and he was surprised: "Did you buy it?" Then your family must be very rich, such a tame monster can only be bought with at least 50,000 gold coins!" After speaking, Ivan's eyes were full of admiration, and it seemed that money was particularly tempting to him!
Being looked at by Ivan like this, Wang Mu actually felt a little blushing, and he lied: "It was once when the teacher took us to study in the field, we met it on the road, and then it has been following me ever since." ”
Hearing Wang Mu's words, Ivan stared at him in disbelief, and he said enviously: "Then your luck is really good!"
Wang Mu was cheeky and smiled.
Ivan looked at Long Long with envy, and then said to Wang Mu: "This little guy looks very powerful, and it is very rare to have a juvenile body of a demonic beast, so it's better to do this, brother, I'll give you a lot of money, you sell it to me!"
Wang Mu looked at Ivan in surprise and suddenly came to his side, staring at Long Long with fiery eyes, looking at himself almost flatteringly and saying his request.
Before Wang Mu could open his mouth to refuse, Long Long, who was sitting on his shoulder, disagreed first, only to see Long Long baring his teeth viciously and roaring in a low voice, looking too lazy to be with Ivan.
Long Long pinned his hopes on Wang Mu, how could he sell his hopes to others?
Looking at Long Long and sighing for a long time, Ivan handed Wang Mu a small bronze medal.
Holding this extremely simple bronze medal in his hand, with the faint starlight, Wang Mu looked at the bronze medal in his hand, which was engraved with "Heavenly Wolf Mercenary Group".
Ivan coughed dryly twice and said, "If you want to sell it at any time, come to the mercenary guild in the west of the city to find me." ”
Looking at the bronze medal in his hand, Wang Mu nodded a little stunned.
Then, Ivan continued: "As for your question, I will tell you now, there are dangerous beings like the Sludge Monsters, and it can be said that they are hardly creatures, but monsters created for some special reasons. ”
"Special reasons?" Wang Mu said a little puzzled.
Ivan nodded, and continued to explain: "Some people with unscrupulous hearts will do anything to gain power, they will privately study some forbidden techniques, hoping to enhance their strength through this special way, and most of these people are notorious alchemists, like the sludge monster just now, is one of the many monsters created by this kind of people. ”
Wang Mu scratched his head, and when he heard Ivan's explanation, he seemed to be even more confused.
Seeing this, Ivan sighed, and he frowned, as if he was thinking about what better way to explain this problem to Wang Mu.
Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Do you know what a Warcraft is?"
Wang Mu nodded, but he was a little puzzled as to why Ivan suddenly spoke of Warcraft.
Ivan said: "As we all know, Warcraft is one of the many species on the Apocalypse Continent, they are vicious and bloodthirsty by nature, but they are also the life of nature, and things like the Mud Monster, it is artificially created, because it does not have its own consciousness and soul, so theoretically speaking, it cannot be called a creature at all." ”
Listening to Ivan's explanation, Wang Mu seemed to understand a little, and he said: "In other words, the Silt Monster is not a complete life, because it has no consciousness of its own, and can only be regarded as an empty shell body that can move and run!"
"That's right!" Ivan nodded triumphantly and continued: "So this kind of soulless monster is more dangerous than ordinary magical beasts, and they often lurk in the dark corners of the city, which is an extremely dangerous existence for people. ”
Wang Mu suddenly asked, "They are so dangerous, then aren't you afraid?"
"What's the use of being afraid, I'm more afraid of not having money to spend!" Ivan said nonchalantly.
Hearing his words, Wang Mu couldn't help but be dumbfounded, how much this person loves money!
Ivan then loaded the remnants of the corpse of the sludge monster, he turned around and waved his hand to Wang Mu in a dashing manner and said, "Bye, little brother, I'll go first, and if you have any questions in the future, you can come to me." As the words fell, he had disappeared into the night in good shape.
――
Wang Mu dragged his tired body back home, he only felt uncomfortably thirsty, and drinking a lot of water did not relieve his thirst in the slightest.
Long Long seemed to be just as thirsty, but it drank blood, and as soon as it returned home, it sucked a few mouthfuls of blood from Wang Mu's hands, and after recovering a little energy, it rushed out of the house like a gust of wind like a cat.
Later, it is said that in this night, at least hundreds of rats died under the capture of these two guys, and after this night, Wang Mu's house could not see a single mouse within a radius of ten miles.
When Wang Mu woke up the next morning, Long Long was sleeping with a big belly, it opened its mouth slightly, revealing two pairs of sharp white tiger teeth, the cold light was shining, and there was a little saliva dripping from the corners of the mouth, that simple appearance was really cute!
After a night's rest, Wang Mu's spirit came back again, and he felt more energetic than before, he lay on the bed and closed his eyes and meditated for a while, and found that the magic power in his body had grown a little stronger, and he felt the magic in the surrounding nature more clearly!
He recalled what happened last night, like a thrilling dream, and now that he thought about it, it was still a little difficult to distinguish the real from the fake, especially the chatty Ivan, who gave him a very mysterious feeling.
Turning his head to look at the bronze plaque placed at the head of the bed, Wang Mu got up and got dressed neatly, and put it into his arms casually, and then went downstairs to wash up and have breakfast.
