Chapter 8: A Happy Journey
The benefits of a spellcaster to a group are self-evident.
In this enchanted world, spellcasters are not only powerful, but also productive.
At least two people should not have a problem eating.
This was a problem that had bothered Arthur quite a bit. After all, the dry food that the two of them brought with them was probably not enough for Groot to eat for one meal.
Groot's appetite is so great that he feels almost never full in Taran's City for as long as he can remember. Now that Groot has the ability to cast spells, he brought his own barbecue stand, and after the two entered the mountains, they immediately turned into hunters and began to catch all kinds of small animals in the mountains to feed themselves.
The animals of the Kabal Mountains are completely unlucky, you must know that a two-headed ogre with a combat power comparable to that of a warrior is enough to sweep through this barren hilly and mountainous area, this is a relatively safe human country, there are no large creatures, and there are no large monsters running all over the mountain.
As for the giant bear that I met once in a while that day, all right! He can't even beat the two-headed ogre himself, and Groot's little head just blesses himself with a strong one, and he can smash the giant bear to pieces when he goes up.
Not to mention Arthur, the combination of Arthur's rifle and Groot's shamanic spell has become an invincible existence in the Kabal Mountains, and even a pack of gray wolves will be deflated when they meet the two.
This journey can be said to be a heavenly day for Groot, not only because he can eat enough, but also work hard to eat every day, and then make delicious food into the prey he catches, and send it into his stomach, that feeling of satiety and warmth, which is the most perfect life in the world for Groot compared to the past.
Life is truly happy!
If Groot's language skills were sufficient at this time, he would definitely blurt out such an exclamation.
But Arthur of the two can't just be like this, he has to think about the future of the two of them when he is full.
"Maybe I should go south?"
Arthur's poor and limited knowledge of the geography of the world makes it difficult for him to make a sufficiently accurate judgment. He was originally an orphan in the slums of Taran, who had never learned anything, and his limited knowledge of the world was obtained through the small talk of his neighbors and eavesdropping on his taverns.
What insight can he have in this way?
He only knew that Taran City belonged to the Earldom of Taran, and now that they had committed an accident in Taran City, it was inevitable to leave the Earldom of Taran, and the only people around Arthur who were attractive to Arthur were Taysmir in the south.
The reason why Arthur was attracted to it was because Arthur had heard in the tavern of the slums that Tethermir was the city with the most spellcasters in the surrounding area, and that Tethermir and the county of Taran belonged to the Duchy of Roses, but Tethermere was the capital of the Duchy of Roses, far more prosperous and populous than Taran, and there were many official mages there, and it was said that there was also a paradise for spellcasters, the Mage Guild.
It was a sacred place that gathered the wisdom of countless mages, and it was a strong attraction for someone like Arthur who aspired to become a spellcaster.
He had to become a mage no matter what.
Otherwise how he travels through time and space. He hadn't forgotten that his lazy cheats for unlocking the Golden Finger needed magic to drive it.
He is not like a monster like Groot who can comprehend magic on his own with only blood, strictly speaking, there seems to be an outlier like Groot who can learn magic by bloodline inheritance, and they are called warlocks.
But Arthur doesn't have this kind of talent, he still needs to be like an ordinary person, and he can become a mage by accumulating and learning little by little.
That night, after eating and drinking, Groot, who had been lying down, snored like thunder for a while, and during this time, with sufficient nutrition, Groot grew fatter and fatter, just like the size of a normal ogre, and his stomach began to bulge.
And the little head that originally grew on the neck became bigger and bigger, evolving into the shape of a normal ogre's second head.
Arthur himself slowly got used to getting along with Groot, who had two heads. It doesn't often feel weird like it did at the beginning, for example, when he talks to Groot, he is used to looking into each other's eyes and talking, but now, sometimes he doesn't know which one to look at?
This gives Arthur the illusion that he is in the company of two ogres.
One end is Groot, and the other is Groot.
That's really ...... Fortunately, man is a habitual creature, and many times people's habits change over time.
Arthur still occasionally thinks of Groot's two heads as two creatures from time to time, but in fact, he now knows that the ogre's two heads do actually have some subtle differences in thinking, which makes Arthur feel that he has found a better way to adapt to this change, and he treats them as two personalities in a person.
He felt that it would be more comfortable to get along with him this way.
After Groot fell asleep, in the middle of the night, Arthur scanned the surroundings, it was nice and quiet, very suitable for doing some secret things.
In the dark of night, he took out a tailless rabbit, a small animal caught during the day, and used it as a reserve food, and the taste after roasting it was quite good.
He tied up the innocent tailless rabbit and placed it on the felt carpet, then stretched out his finger and pointed at the tailless rabbit, imitating the movements of Groot during the day, drew a semicircle in mid-air, and then said "Wuqi - Maer - Fangde!" It was a spell he had worked so hard to memorize when Groot cast spells during the day.
This spell is the shamanic spell - bloodlust! The effect is to make the caster's blood boiling, nervous and excited, and the specific effect is like taking an excessive amount of stimulants, and the combat power is off the charts, and the body should be big, and it should not be big, it will become very big. It is one of the most powerful shamanic spells on the battlefield.
However, after the spell was cast, the tailless rabbit on the felt carpet looked innocently at Arthur with round eyes.
This is, useless?
His spell doesn't work?
Arthur did not believe in evil and continued, shouting again "Wuqi - Ma'e - Fangde!" The sound of spells in the night sky was heard far away.
It's still the same, the tailless rabbit hasn't changed at all.
Arthur was so angry, how could it be useless?
There was no reaction.
I didn't feel the elemental fluctuations of the legendary spell casting, and I didn't have any special feelings in my body.
But during the day, did he obviously watch Groot simply cast a spell? I didn't use any staves or anything like that!
What's going on?
Could it be the ogre bloodline?
Arthur then tried a few more times, and had to give up, to sum up, his idea was too child's play, even if this is the wizard's world, the spellcaster's spell casting can't be so simple, I'm afraid there are many principles he doesn't understand, to be precise, the ogre belongs to the bloodline warlock, and he doesn't have the caster's bloodline in his body, and it's impossible to learn to cast spells by stealing Groot.
So what now?
Kill Groot? Plunder the ogre bloodline in his body and transform into an ogre magician? Like a legendary wizard?
That—of course it can't be! How could he be so vicious Arthur? Moreover, even if he is really that vicious, he doesn't have the ability of a wizard, killing others and plundering the bloodline ability, this is not something that ordinary people can do?
It seems that this Principality of Roses, he still has to go, he needs to learn to cast spells through formal channels.
Thinking about this, Arthur turned around, huh? Groot woke up at some point, and both heads looked at him stupidly, "Arthur! What are you doing? ”
Then excitement flashed in his eyes,
"Are you playing a game?"
Arthur suddenly felt bad, but before he could dodge it, Groot uttered a spell in his mouth:
"Wuqi-Mahe-Fangde!"
In an instant, Arthur's whole body was like fire, and his mouth opened and whined, resounding through the mountains......
