Early in the morning, after breakfast, Arrow was writing a monster book in his room. Once you've done that, continue to draw a topographic map of the Shining Forest.

Although the Shining Forest may be much safer than the Mine, and the chances of encountering danger in it are much smaller, it can be sold for money if it can be made up, and whether it can be sold is naturally another matter.

It's been busy, and before I know it, it's noon.

When his stomach growled, Arrow rubbed his stiff neck, put down his pen, and walked out the door.

"Class~~~!"

As soon as I went out, I saw a large group of children rushing out of the gate like birds and beasts. That happy look, I don't know and think that someone outside is handing out candy.

Airo smiled, looked at the bulletin board announcement, and after confirming that Cream, Brad, and Coco were all on their way to completing their tasks, he nodded in satisfaction and headed to the kitchen to get something to eat.

"In the case of the Adventurer's Guild that I know, you're the first guild leader who can draw your own maps and make your own experience."

Napa flew out of the classroom in the back and lay down slowly on the cushion—

"Under normal circumstances, guilds are old and new, and they rely more on experience than through words."

Arrow smiled, nibbling on bread and drinking milk, and said with a smile, "How was the class?" I think the kids seem to be happy after class. ”

Napa's tail raised, "What, do you think I can't teach well?" ”

Airo hurriedly shook his head: "Of course not, the children are so eager to get out of class, which means that the teaching content during class time is really rich." I saw this situation a lot when I was studying, and when the bell rang for the end of class, there were so many students who couldn't bear to listen to the class that they ran out. ”

Napa: "So you're the kind of person who doesn't get up until the teacher leaves?" ”

Arrow smiled: "Children from poor families, of course, cherish every minute and every second of the opportunity to learn. ”

The guild leader took two bites, and Napa thought for a moment, then suddenly flew over from the cushion and sat down firmly on the table in front of Arrow, "Ariel, didn't you say yesterday that the flame knife was not easy to handle?" I think...... Maybe I can help you with that. ”

All of a sudden, the bread that Arrow had been stuffing into his mouth spit out.

He wiped his mouth and waited until he didn't choke before saying, "What's the solution?" What can you do for me? ”

Napa tilted her head and thought for a while, and said, "That flame knife, to put it bluntly, is a weapon with flame enchantment on it. The level of the mage enchantment named Merlin is good, and the flame knife is already fully enchanted, although it is possible to remove this enchantment, it is a bit of a waste. ”

"So, why don't I help you change the nature of this flame knife a little bit, and then change its shape. As far as I go, I wanted to transform it into some kind of weapon that you could use for self-defense. What do you think of a little flaming dagger? At least something that will give you a little bit of self-defense. ”

Arrow pursed his lips and just smiled.

Seeing this smile, Napa also knew that her idea could not be realized. It sighed and said, "I know." You want to make our guildmates stronger than you are. ”

Arrow spread his hands: "Since you think about it, then I don't have to say anything." The stronger my members become, the safer I am. If a war is fought to the point where the king himself has to fight, then the country is already lost. ”

Napa sighed again, "Okay, what do you think?" Change the shape of the long knife a little bit to become a sword? To Brad that big idiot? Given that he had just given those two fanged daggers to that Cream, Coco wouldn't use these melee weapons, so it was Brad? ”

Arrow pinched his chin and thought for a moment, then said, "Napa, you just said that you can change the nature of the fire enchantment, right?" ”

Napa nodded, but her face was full of confusion.

Arrow smiled: "That's it, that's ...... That'...... Can you do it? ”

The cat thought for a moment, "It should be fine." ”

Now that it worked, Arrow pulled the magic crystal ring out of his pocket again and placed it in front of Napa.

"What? Give it to me now? ”

Napa tentatively lowered her head, opening her mouth as if she were about to start sucking the magic inside.

"What are you thinking? I'm asking you, can you enchant this ring? ”

Arrow laughed—

"You said you could remove the enchantment, so you must be able to add the enchantment as well, right? So, can you do such a favor? ”

Napa stretched out her paw and patted the small magic crystal ring, thought about it, nodded and said, "Okay, if you help me, then I should help you." These things make it a little difficult for that little girl to do, let me help you once this time, and when her magic is good in the future, I will teach her how to do it. ”

Arrow smiled.

Although he did think that this cat might only be able to act as a mascot in the guild at first, but now he feels that with it, some things that are not very important and will not involve too much trouble in the future can be solved very well, which is also a good feeling.

Or maybe that's the essence of what you call "trust comes from transactions".

I didn't expect to be able to witness the knowledge I learned in class recreate in myself, and Iroh was also very happy.

And even happier, naturally, was the evening when everyone returned, and the gifts that Arrow had prepared for them.

————

"Brother President, this is ...... What? ”

Coco held a long, slender stick in her hand, and the steel staff had a dark red sheen. In the grip of the staff, you can see a small icon of a mermaid jumping in water, which is considered the symbol of the guild.

"Try summoning your undead soldiers."

Arrow took a sip of tea and said with a smile.

Napa nodded, and left the table, chanting a little in her heart, and swung her staff into the center of the hall—

"Bones accompany the body."

As usual, the undead soldiers reappeared. But this time it's a little different.

Although it seemed that the strength of the undead soldier itself had not increased, the sharp blade in its hand had begun to spread a faint flame light!

This situation made Coco overjoyed! She felt the magic in her body for a moment, and began to make the undead soldier swing the sword in his hand.

I saw the soldier leap back and forth, and every swing of the blade in his hand would pull out a dark red light. It looks like it's not just the speed, it's the destructive power that has increased by a notch. As it dances faster and faster, rainbow lights flicker back and forth in the hall, turning into rainbow lines, which can be described as "beautiful"!

After a set of swordsmanship, the undead soldier returned to the place where it was born, holding the rainbow sword in his hand, still standing in front of Coco like a knight.

After testing the rainbow sword, Coco thought for a while, stretched out his hand and waved again: "My best friend." ”

The skeleton dog emerged from the dust, and as soon as the dog saw Cocoa, he wagged his tail desperately, and ran quickly around Cocoa in a circle, as excited as if it was about to be completely attached.

"Wow! Woohoo! ”

"Shhhh

Coco crouches down and holds the skeletal dog's head. The dead dog immediately sat down on the floor, wagging desperately at the little tail that was only a bone.

Five, four, three, two, one.

Five seconds later, the skeleton dog was still sitting on the ground, looking at Coco expectantly.

Seeing that it would not disappear again due to time constraints, Coco rushed forward with some excitement and hugged the dog: "Little Black! Blackie, you won't be gone! Blackie! Great, little black! Hee-hee-hee, hee-hee-hee. ”

"Wang! Woohoo! ”

The skeleton dog looked very happy, and immediately pounced on Coco, rubbing her head against Coco's cheek. Eero believes that if the dog had a tongue now, it would lick Coco's face into a puddle of mud.

"Hahaha! Okay, okay, Xiao Hei, don't do this, don't do this, haha, hehehe. ”

Seeing that the skeleton dog was still unsatisfied, the undead soldier over there finally couldn't stand it anymore, walked over, grabbed the skeleton dog's head, lifted it up and put it aside, and then continued to garrison.

Coco grinned and got up and patted her clothes. She turned her head and saw that everyone was smiling at her, so she couldn't help but blush, and said timidly, "That...... When I was a child, I had a dog...... But one day, it died...... It's called Little Black ......."

Airo turned his head to look at Napa next to him, "Could the dead summoned by the necromancer be a person or animal you once knew?" ”

Napa yawned: "Not really, but because the magic of the necromancer will be linked to his mood, the summoned dead will more or less have the influence of the necromancer's own personality." Among them, the effect of summoning non-human dead is especially obvious. ”

"Because when you humans are summoning non-human creatures, you will more or less project the spirit of your pet onto summoning minions. This girl may have missed her dog so much that the summoned servants resemble her dog in every way. Otherwise, why do you think the name of this spell is 'My Best Friend'? ”

Looking at Coco's happy face, Arrow was also very satisfied. Immediately, he shoved a ring box in front of Cream.
