Chapter 080: Speed Snake (4,000 words)

Grant rushed to the dead woods, and it was early in the morning. There was a chill in the air, and it hurt to inhale it in your lungs. A thin mist that spread all over the manor obscured Grant's vision.

He walked down the path of the manor, and there was a clattering sound of rubble.

"The manor is strange, but my goal is only the attic. Now, be careful. ”

Grant darkly walked into the backyard from the path, and followed the thin mist to see a small loft looming. At this moment, the corners of the attic were violently eroded, revealing the metal skeleton inside.

He didn't look back, but stood in front of the attic.

Boom~~~

When Grant walked ten meters, he felt a flash of eyebrow marks on his forehead, and the light curtain in front of him was like foam, easily tearing open a three-meter-wide door.

The desert snake people themselves are also able to enter after being shrouded in the imprint.

"Damn, it's really human."

Grant scolded secretly, originally planning to put it into the magic pet space first and then come out. Now, no.

…………

Grant enters the first floor, and the environment is gloomy.

There is not much difference from a normal attic, and the furniture is placed on both sides normally. Grant went back and forth to the bedroom, study, etc., to detect and observe, and found that it was not unusual.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that he shook his head.

"There is not much difference in the first floor, it is estimated that it is just reserved for normal rest. It stands to reason that magical places like this should be study rooms and laboratories. The study on the first floor is not peculiar and weird, and you can only look at it on the second floor. Desert snake people, you go to find out if there is any weird place. ”

"Understood."

Grant orders the desert snake people to act together. By the way, release the five black wanderers and let them enter the entire attic.

"Second floor!"

Grant looked up at the higher attic.

Da Da Da ......

He went in. Directly order people to prompt the places of the laboratory and study. Soon, a black wanderer arrives with the news. According to the information, nearly one-third of the second floor is a study. And. With the help of the gaze of a black wanderer, he saw the crystal lights on the roof of the study room arranged in a simple exorcism array, driving away the surrounding elemental particles and a few corrosive air. It is very effective to save books.

"With so many books, there must be a problem."

Grant's eyes froze, and he pushed open the room in the study.

Chirping!

The door shifted slightly to reveal an empty room. Eighteen black metal bookshelves are arranged in a straight line, all of which are filled with books, looking like a small library. Air. There are also two flying golems circling back and forth, protecting the books and carrying out conservation work at the same time.

"There are even puppets, it seems that the other party is really a third-order mage or above."

Grant was sure. As an alchemy system, it is not only responsible for refining equipment, but also responsible for refining runes, mechanisms, puppets, etc. And the mage has top-notch skills when it comes to golems. Most golems can be seen as independent lifeforms, and they use the Demonic Essence Stone as a source of power. A highly skilled alchemist. Can create puppet battles. In terms of control, it only takes a small amount of mental power to control consciousness, which is more convenient than his magic pet.

Unfortunately, there are restrictions on use. Golems of a certain level need to be mastered at the same level, and most of the golems produced are of a high level and useful. Golems have a minimum level of Rank 1 Late Rank. Like the high can reach the third and fourth orders. Because of the very small number and the fact that it has a certain degree of circulation, it is usually not a third-order or a top family. You can't see the puppet.

They are rarer than spell engravers, similar to runes. It is usually used as a combat tool for mages of the third order and above.

"Are you Grant? The host said that you can record the information here. ”

Then. A pitch-black metal puppet resembling a goblin flew in. Her eyes were a strange pale green, changing with each passing second in intensity to darken, normal, bright, and piercing.

Grant nodded: "Yes, I am." I'm sorry for you, I'll record it now. ”

"Okay." The leprechaun flew towards the wall. The walls split two entrances, just in time for the elves to get inside.

Grant sighed, showing a look of disappointment: "It seems that I thought too well, it is impossible for Master Hightings to give me such a good thing, and it is estimated that there is nothing left of important things." ”

He understood that these two goblins alone were comparable to his own equal strength, and if he took them, his strength would definitely be strong. It's a pity that all this came to naught in the sentence just now. It is impossible for Grant to rely on coercion to get a puppet to recognize the master.

After thinking for a moment, Grant simply walked over to the bookshelf to look at the materials.

"Huh?" Grant reached out and took out a black monster leather book, and his hand was cold and the surface was rough. Suddenly, a ghost skeleton jumped out of the cover, floating in the air.

Grant didn't care, and looked through it carefully. After looking at it for a while, his face was delighted.

"I didn't expect it, this is a medium theory magic book. It doesn't seem like there's any need for me to search for it later. Master Hatins is very fond of collecting such information, and he has been here for ten days and has read all the books. ”

Grant excitedly. As a mage, magical knowledge is like a framework that supports the development of mage civilization. For example, in his previous life, he needed to go to a federal college for further studies and accumulate knowledge. In the world of glory, he can learn spells through analysis, and he also understands elementary magic knowledge with the help of a while ago. They learn spells without barriers until they reach the middle of the third order, but after they arrive, they can't do anything even if they have the analysis technique. I can only continue to search for books.

In front of me, there are enough books to support the fourth or fifth order without any problem.

"Okay, stay for ten days for the time being. Put away all the pets and wait until you've absorbed all the knowledge before making other plans. ”

Grant made up his mind, and with a wave of his hand, the desert snake people and black wanderers all disappeared into various locations. Many of the memories of the time of departure are transmitted through the video, allowing Grant to know all the room areas on the second floor.

Brush!

He walked over to his desk and sat down, took out two books and stacked them next to him, and continued browsing.

With the passage of time, one, two. Three, four......

…………

Ten days later. The manor became more and more dilapidated as the day progressed. Such as the old man who will wither away. It is already in its twilight years.

The second floor, the study.

Grant stood in front of the bookshelf, pacing back and forth. Look at the book in front of you and make sure you're not looking anywhere.

"Mr. Grant, you've read it all."

A goblin flew up and said respectfully.

"Really?"

Grant was stunned for a moment, and recalled carefully. I have indeed browsed all this knowledge, and the knowledge I have mastered has rocketed upwards in the past few days. The current knowledge is not inferior to that of an ordinary third-order mage. If you go to the Shadow Academy as a teacher, you can be the chief director.

Grant smiled: "Since that's the case, then I can also leave." ”

Said the host. There's one more thing for you. It's on the third level, and apart from that one, nothing else can enter your vision. With that, the goblin flew into the wall. There was a slight squirming and calm.

"What else could it be?" Curious, Grant simply stepped up the stairs on the third floor to see what gifts he had for himself.

Grant had just entered the third floor and was stunned when he saw the view.

He really didn't think of it. In the lonely room, there is only a huge block of ice, and dozens of demonic essence stones are being used on the ground to stabilize the talisman array, keeping the ice block from overflowing.

"This is the Speed Snake?"

Take a few steps closer. Grant reached out and touched the ice.

A transparent block of ice with a black four-winged snake fixed inside, about sixteen meters long. It has a sharp horn on its forehead, which glows with a cold sheen with the help of ice cubes. It was just stuck in the ice. There has been no way to wake up.

Because of the cold of the ice, so that it did not die though. But the vitality was suppressed to the lowest point, and it fell into a deep sleep. Even the sound of his heart beating was inaudible, and Grant had no detection skills, and he almost suspected that he was dead.

Grant knew that the Speed Snake was a twenty-second level flying demonic beast. Its combat effectiveness is not strong, but its flight speed is more than three times that of the Flame Giant Eagle, which is comparable to the flying puppets of those third-order bosses in the city. Of course, if you really want to compare, only the two-headed speed snake emperor in the speed snake clan can be equal.

"I didn't expect to find this monster. But this is a rare magical beast, and it's great to find it now. ”

Grant was overjoyed, this was much better than some demonic item. After all, there is no way to buy it.

"Accept him!"

Grant unleashed a pile of flame powder and sprinkled it on the top and surface of the ice cube, burning as he chanted a spell. The originally hard ice slowly melted and turned into a puddle of liquid. Grant destroyed the ice cube's stabilizer array and waited for a few minutes for most of the ice to melt, revealing the true face of the speed snake.

He took a few steps closer and felt for the triangular scales of the speed snake, and found that the latter was unusually cold.

"First use the flame to bless him with a normal temperature, and then use the soul flame in his hand to revive his soul, maintain a minimum of spiritual power, maintain clarity, and then use the magic pet space to restore his body."

Grant muttered, flipping his hand, and a small purple flame burned.

Reaching out and patting, the flames sank into the body of the speed snake. Gradually, it turned into a bright light that enveloped the body of the speed snake. A burst of flames quickly melted and cold around it, returning it to its normal heat.

Ten minutes later, the snake opened his eyes weakly.

"This is the time." Grant's eyes flashed, his hands flashed like lightning, and he pressed down on the head of the speed snake. Endless spiritual energy poured into his body along his head, and he directly signed a demon pet contract with him. Because, although the speed snake has twenty-three levels, compared with the desert snake man in terms of strength, it is not a step, and it can only be left as a deputy demon pet column.

Brush!

The snake vanished, and the room was empty.

"Okay, I've taken him in now. I don't have any intention of staying here now, so I quickly left here and prepared to go to the outskirts to try the speed of the speed snake, and by the way, I released the Flame Giant Eagle. ”

Grant turned and patted his robe, looked out the arched window, jumped on tiptoe, and plunged into the window.

After a while, the figure disappeared into the manor.

…………

Half a day later, a lush wood.

Grant stood in the grass, looking down on the flaming eagle flying back and forth in midair.

"You leave now, free."

Grant said calmly, his eyes looking at the Flame Eagle with gratitude. Whether there is or not, when it is a tool or a weapon. At least Grant is a little grateful, because of them, he is where he is today.

Phew!

The Flame Eagle nodded and flew into the sky.

After he was transformed, fused and strengthened by Grant, his own strength has become the king of his own clan. I believe that returning to the community can live better than anyone else. That's what Grant paid them.

"Alright, let's try Swift Snake now."

With a wave of Grant's hand, a giant black snake appeared out of thin air in front of him. Four wings, one horn, and fierce eyes.

When the Serpent appeared, it instigated its powerful wings, causing Grant's hair and robe to hunt. Since the speed snake itself has mastered two innate spells that bless speed, once it flies, it will speed up even faster.

"Climb down!"

Grant gave the order, his fingers pointing slightly.

The speed snake crawled down quietly, and his eyes showed a well-behaved look. Grant jumped, ready to soar through the sky. Because it's signed in the sub-demon pet column, the speed is affected to a certain extent. But the strength of the juvenile speed snake is only in the late stage of the first order, and the speed is not much different from that of the speed snake of the second order of the adult. I have to say that it is very consistent with Grant at this stage.

Whew!!

Grant flew into the sky and disappeared in place as a rainbow.

It wasn't until ten minutes later that they were back in the woods. After landing on the ground, Grant said excitedly: "Haha, this speed is much faster than the Flame Giant Eagle, if the Flame Giant Eagle takes half an hour, the Speed Snake only takes ten minutes." It seems that I can save a lot of time for meditation in the future. ”

"Take advantage of this opportunity, why don't you fly to the direction of the Black Shadow Killing Group's rift valley first."

Grant did what he said he would, slapping the snake on the back. The snake body flicked and formed a streamer to cut through the sky.

Halfway through the flight, Grant stopped.

He understands that there are no points now, and it doesn't make much sense to go to the Black Shadow Killing Group. This time, I just want to communicate with Beate and ask if there is any trouble lately. Because in the Rift, you can't use the Mage Tower like Mage Melio, and the energy consumed comes from the Mage Tower.

Of course, Grant was able to communicate at the manor, but he was a little tired.

"Byatt, are you there?"

"Ah, you haven't been back in a while. I've done several tasks. ”

"I've been busy with other things, and I want to ask if there's anything in trouble lately."

"No, I would have told you if I had. I just hope you don't go too far beyond the city of Celephas. ”

"Thank you then, I'll keep going."

Grant closed the communication rune, and after knowing the meaning, he prepared to go to the wurm's lair to have a look, and took the opportunity to get a batch of bone materials to make blood to increase the level of the desert snake man and Refy.

He understands that this is the fastest way to improve. The magic pet itself is the most important strength.

"According to the information given to me by Master Hattings, the northernmost part of Seleface City is the target area, and the Flame Eagle needs a week to travel, directly passing a city on the way. Now with Speed Snake, it takes less than three days. ”

Grant said secretly, knowing in his heart what Master Hattings meant. (To be continued.) For mobile phone users, please go to read. )
