Chapter 61 - The Ugly Fish and Menas
After the start of the winter vacation, many students began to go home to help out and prepare for the Chinese New Year. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info because there is a magician in the family, although he is still only a magic apprentice, but some of the low-level families among the commoners have been treated preferentially by the village, and they no longer live like before.
For example, Herya's family, because she learned a little bit of the basics of the alchemy shop, was favored by the owner of a magic item shop in Medea City, and as long as she was willing to give them work, they were willing to give Herya one gold coin and fifteen silver coins a month.
Of course, it was only during the holidays, and they didn't have the guts to let Helja drop out of school and work for them. You know, it was an unusually wrong decision to strangle a magician who was likely to continue working in his own shop in the future. This boss, who is very sensitive to business opportunities, will not make such a mistake.
So soon, all kinds of strange inheritance alchemy potions were launched in this house, and the price was very cheap, and it was immediately loved by the local mercenaries of the Alasong Territory.
As the maker of these potions, Helja naturally became a household name in the territory of Arasong. Let some professors who pass by here and return to their hometowns can't help but smile.
Unlike the students, most of the professors stayed at Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, after all, most of the professors' families had moved to the small town of Pernes on the Prometheus Plains, and they didn't need to go back to their hometowns. Moreover, the food in my hometown may not be as good as in school. Therefore, only a small number of professors chose to go back to their hometown for the New Year.
As the headmaster of Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, Lu Ming, the lord of Odysseus, has been indulging in gentleness these days, unable to extricate himself, until Archduke Raels returns from Amp to Erepos and comes to his lord's mansion.
Lu Ming saw the words of Grand Duke Raels, that is: "Come back so soon?" I thought you'd hide until next year when school started, and then come back! β
Hearing this, Grand Duke Raels was a little embarrassed, but he didn't say anything, but instead stretched out his finger and pointed at the person sitting on the sofa next to him.
Just as Lu Ming looked at the man, the man immediately stood up and introduced himself: "Hello, I am Viscount Oberic Hecate of the Duchy of Styx. β
"You are the daughter of Grand Duke Hecate?" Hearing the other party's surname, Lu Ming asked with some confusion.
"Eh~! How do you see that?! Oberik, who was dressed in men's clothes and had a boy's hairstyle, couldn't help but ask in surprise when he saw Lu Ming seeing his gender at a glance.
At this time, they were one step slower than the others, and only then did they come to the Lu Ming Mansion that the Grand Duke of Ferram and the Earl of Winsland walked in. Grand Duke Ferram glanced at Oberic slightly, and then asked Lu Ming, "That's right!" Her breasts are so flat, how do you tell she's a woman? β
"Let's not say how hurtful your words are, just your eyes are problematic enough." Lu Ming smiled helplessly, then stretched out his hand, pointed at Oberik's neck, and said, "She is now in her twenties, if she is a man, she should already have an Adam's apple by now." But she didn't. In addition, her face does not have the angularity of a boy's face, and her sitting and standing posture shows that she once wore her skirt for a long time, because she had a subconscious movement to prevent the light from going away. β
"Uh...... All right. After a careful look at Oberik, the Grand Duke of Ferram sighed slightly, sat down on the sofa, and admitted that he had a bad look.
For this duke, who likes to run around and play like his own duke, Lu Ming doesn't want to say anything. Therefore, he directly ignored the Grand Duke of Ferram and his own Grand Duke, and asked Viscount Oberik: "Is there something wrong with Viscount Hecate's visit to Errebos this time?" β
Hearing Lu Ming's question, Viscount Oberic immediately replied, "I came to Erepos this time because my father wanted to exchange the ugly fish for some gooing and buzzing bats with Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. β
Hearing this, Lu Ming and the two Grand Dukes were stunned.
When Lu Ming left Errepos and went to the imperial capital, Miral introduced and cultivated a flying magical beast from Yalu, and was ready to be used as a messenger for the magic school, just like a buzzing bat. But the problem is that there aren't many Gollums and Buzzing Bats in the School of Magic, and now there are only a hundred Goo Goo and thirty Buzzing Bats.
So, what's the deal with him Stix and Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry exchanging goo and buzz bats!
"Goo Goo was brought in by my wife from Yaru, and there aren't many of them, and there aren't many of them in our Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. So we can't trade with Styx. I'm so sorry. Lu Ming rejected Styx's proposal very directly, but he then said, "But I think Yalu and Tartarus will be happy to exchange with Styx." β
But the latter sentence did not make the rejected Oberic feel any better. She took out a PokΓ© Ball from the pocket of her clothes that she had just bought two days ago, and released an earthy yellow, pitted fish with a somewhat dull look from the PokΓ© Ball.
Looking at the ugly ugly fish bouncing on the floor, Oberic said very sadly, "I have been to Yaru before I came to Erebos, but they refused our request because of the ugly fish's appearance and weakness. I think the same thing is true of Grand Duke Tuxsta now......"
"I'll make a swap with Styx."
However, Archduke Ferram's answer surprised Oberik!
"What!? Why!? Oberic looked at Archduke Ferram in disbelief, as if he had just heard something terrible.
Glancing at Oberic faintly, Grand Duke Ferram hugged the ugly ugly fish fluttering on the ground, and said at the same time: "I still know what the ugly ugly fish will look like after it evolves. Moreover, after it evolved, it can be regarded as a very strong magical beast. β
"But we Styx haven't heard of ugly fish evolving!!"
"The name of the ugly fish came from the Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry. Because there are several ugly fish and an evolved type of ugly fish in the lake of Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, some of Styx's magic schools follow suit and also raise ugly ugly fish. As far as I know, several of Styx's schools of magic have an evolved Meenas of an ugly fish, and even the skill list has been obtained from some Prometheus professors! At first, when he heard Oberik's words, the Grand Duke of Ferram thought that Oberic was lying, but when he saw that the expression on her face was true, he realized that she really did not know, and he could not help but feel a little pity for the girl, so he explained to her.
"Alas~!! Is it because of this that those magic schools breed a lot of ugly fish? Hearing Archduke Ferram's explanation, it dawned on Oberik.
"Otherwise, what do you think?" For this cute girl who was a little silly, even Winsland on the side couldn't stand it anymore and couldn't help but say.
Hearing this, Oberic calmed down and snatched the ugly fish that belonged to him back from the Grand Duke of Ferram.
At this time, Lamanrasi, who had already lived in Lu Ming's lord's mansion and wore the wedding ring prepared by Sham, walked over with a small box.
"Lord Duke!" Because of his status, Oberic hurriedly saluted after seeing Laman, so as not to be rude in front of the duke. But such a move made the Grand Duke of Ferram, who was reluctant to give up on the ugly fish, very dissatisfied, after all, she did not salute herself......
Placing the small box in Oberik's hand, Raman Lace smiled and said, "There are beautiful scales in this, which can make the ugly ugly fish evolve into Menas, as long as it is worn." β
"Thank you very much!" After knowing that the contents of the box could make the ugly uglyfish evolve, Oberic immediately thanked Raman Rath and Lu Ming, and couldn't wait to take out the beautiful scales in the box and put them on the ugly uglyfish.
Seeing this, Lu Ming couldn't help but laugh and said, "Ugly caterpillars can also chrysalis turn into beautiful butterflies." I don't know what kind of expression the Grand Duke of Yalu will have after knowing what he refuses. β
"I don't want to know what his expression is, now I just want to know when Styx will be able to deliver the ugly ugly fish to Tartarus!" The Grand Duke of Ferram on the side suddenly expressed his dissatisfaction with the ugly fish being snatched back by Oberic.
And Oberic couldn't help but smile after hearing Ferram's words: "Please rest assured, in three days, we Styx will definitely send the ugly fish to Tartarus!" β
-----------------------------------
At night, several people sneaked into the Prometheus School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and under the cover of night, they sneaked to the small lake on campus, took out several sets of diving clothes and underwater breathing magic devices from the space ring, and put them on.
One of these people, while wearing a diving suit, complained, "What is this called! I'm a good lord, but I was forced by a few of you to come and steal! β
At this time, a woman on the side suddenly scolded: "It's not your fault!" If you had told me earlier that the ugly ugly fish should evolve to have beautiful scales, wouldn't it have been used?! β
As soon as these words came out, the person from before immediately shut up. An older man on the side asked a few people, "Do you all bring Poke Balls?" β
"I'm bringing it, but old man, are you really going to catch a monster here and go back?" A woman with a certain tribal accent asked the old man with some fear.
"Nonsense! We're here to steal something! Since stealing beautiful scales is stealing, stealing monsters is also stealing, so why not steal both? β
"I said, old man, what kind of robber theory are you? Among us, at least ordinary people are nobles, and it is shameful enough to steal beautiful scales now, if you even want to steal the demonic beasts in the school, it is really a bit excessive! β
"No more nonsense! I was also pulled by you! It's too late to say that you won't take Warcraft now! The old man glanced at the others with great disdain and said angrily.
"Yah~! Be quiet! There are still a few undead professors in the school who haven't gone home! Seeing that the old man was angry, the woman from before was so frightened that she hurriedly said.
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but look around cautiously, and saw that the surroundings were still as quiet as before, and no one noticed them, so they breathed a sigh of relief.
After putting on his wetsuit and scuba apparatus, the old man was the first to jump into the lake, which was not cold because of the magic, and said to the others, "Come down!" β
With that, he drank all the alchemical potions brought by one of the peasants in the team.
The woman from a certain tribe took her share of the potion and asked the farmer with some concern, "Is this night vision potion okay?" Don't be there, when we are looking for beautiful scales in the lake, it suddenly loses its effect! β
When the peasant saw that the woman didn't believe the potion she brought, he hurriedly said, "The alchemy potion made by my family Herya, even from the professors, has received full marks!" How could something happen!? β
At this time, the old man who was already swimming in the water was a little anxious, and couldn't help but say angrily: "Hurry up, you guys!" β
"Oh! Oh! "Because the old man is the highest, the oldest, and the most powerful, everyone has no choice but to drink the potion and jump into the lake.
Compared to the shore, the enchanted lake is warmer, at least warm, unlike the cold wind on the shore.
With the help of a special night vision potion, everyone can see everything in the lake in the pitch black water at night, just like the crystal clear lake water in the daytime. So they quickly separated and searched for what they wanted in the huge man-made lake.
They swam in completely different directions, some towards the nest of some kind of animal, and some towards the creatures sleeping under the water. But no matter what their purpose is, they have one thing in common. That is, none of them noticed that behind them, there was a snake-like creature and a few small blue crocodiles already staring at them.
Swimming to the lair of some creature at the bottom of the lake, the two women in the group were doing their best to get some of the colored scales scattered in the nest into a bag.
Collecting piece by piece, soon they were collecting two large bags of beautiful scales.
However, just as the two of them were about to leave, when they turned around, they saw two bloody mouths full of sharp teeth! Moreover, the most terrifying thing is that the teeth of those two mouths are still shining with ice-blue fluorescence!
Suddenly, the two of them let out a scream that only the two of them could hear.
At the same time, the old man and several others were silently swimming to some of the cuties who were sleeping under the water and had not yet been prepared.
Although it was said that except for the old man, none of the team planned to capture the magical beasts in the magic school, but since he came, the old man said that again, and he also bred the heart of capturing the magical beasts.
However, at this time, the old man suddenly found that there was one less person among his people!
He looked back, but saw nothing, except for a few fragments of his wetsuit at the bottom of the lake.
Frowning, he swam forward a little distance, picked up the fragments of the diving suit, and looked at these fragments, a very bad premonition suddenly appeared in the bottom of his heart.
His instinct told him, run!
So he immediately turned back, intending to get the others back to shore with him. It's a pity that as soon as he turned around, those people were gone!
Immediately, fear filled his heart, and he hurriedly swam towards it, trying to escape. But a long, snake-like creature with beautiful scales suddenly attacked him from behind. The snake-like body wrapped around him, dragging him back to the bottom of the lake...... (To be continued.) )
