Seeing something coming in, Shiratori stretched out his beak and pecked it without hesitation.

A thin layer of water elemental blocked its attacks, and then slowly turned into a cool liquid that flowed into its mouth.

"This guest, you ......"

The guy next to her stared at her hand with wide eyes.

He didn't feel the magic, he didn't notice the water element, but focused on the black glove.

Considering that those who train falcons often wear a thick layer of leather on their arms to prevent them from being scratched by sharp claws, I am more convinced of my suspicion that this guest is probably a powerful animal trainer.

"Master, are you using magic to heal it?"

The black-clothed little Lori in the air saw Xia's intentions.

"This bird's injuries are very serious, and if you don't do this, it won't be long before it dies."

Natsu patiently activated the magic power, allowing the cool water to continue to pour into its throat, and then transmitted a string of syllables to it with spiritual induction.

"Chirp, goo......"

A slight chirp came from its mouth, filled with grievance and helplessness.

"Don't look at the big size, this is actually a young bird, and the parents didn't come back after going out for a day, it should have happened to an accident."

"Then it was discovered by the hunting group, and because it was too young to understand the tamer's requirements, the men kept beating it and not giving it anything to eat......

Natsu felt the meaning of its cry, and his eyes softened, and he touched its feathers with his other hand, sending out a kind reassurance.

Shiratori bit her hand, tears streaming down her eyes.

"Let's go."

Xia didn't buy it directly, but turned to the guy and said:

"Bring that chickpeck out, I want it."

After the man left happily, she touched her hand on the enchanted cage.

The flickering runes of magical brilliance dimmed instantly.

After a while, the man and two men brought a monster the size of a lion over, and she glanced at the white bird that had risen from the ground, stared blankly at her, winked at it, and walked out of the shop.

"Oh! That's a big guy. ”

Back on the hill outside the city, when he saw the very bluffing-looking chickpeas, Uncle Black Knife showed an interested look.

"I've lent you this thing for the time being, so you can ride it in the future, and I've bought you a month's worth of supplies."

Natsu patted the luggage that the chickpeus was carrying.

"One...... One month? ”

Uncle Black Knife touched his head, sighed and said:

"Well, I haven't been doing much lately anyway, alas! It's really hard to pay your debts, and following that for a month is more troublesome than just going into a fight with it. ”

"You can fight it head-on? There are probably a few odds of winning. ”

Hearing his words, Xia's heart moved.

"Don't be kidding, how can you have a chance of winning, if you don't die, you will die."

Uncle Black Knife flew up onto the chickpeus, crushing it slightly, but with a low roar, he straightened up.

"One time I was a little unlucky, and when I was following it, I happened to bump into a ghoul king, and the fluctuations of the battle alarmed it, and I was stabbed from a distance, and it almost killed me."

He lifted his cloak and pulled it down to reveal an abrasion that passed right next to his heart, and if he straightened it any longer, it would have pierced a large hole in his chest.

"You asked me last time if the Black Calamity had any weaknesses, now that I think about it, the speed of its body doesn't seem to be particularly fast, you are a mage, if you can dodge its stabbing in the air, you should be able to escape calmly."

Covering his chest, his face became a little stern:

"There's a deep darkness in the rainstorm, and it's much faster than it's itself, and if you're not particularly strong-willed, it's easy to be seduced by cursed whispers, or even die!"

"But since you can survive hearing the curse, it means that you can resist that power, and that's fine."

Uncle Black Knife's face turned honest:

"So we can get a little closer...... Observing its actions and characteristics, even if it is a demigod, it will definitely be able to find some flaws. ”

Hearing his words, Xia and the black-clothed little Lori glanced at each other.

Then the little Lori in black said worriedly:

"Master, the defensive function of the psychic sense seems to be ineffective against its curse, what should I do? Do you want to sue Uncle Sù about this? ”

"It's still a while before we catch up with it, and then think about it."

Xia didn't want to be looked down upon by the other party like this, so he shook his head when he heard this.

"But ......"

"Don't worry, I'm not going to joke with my life."

Instead of flying in stockings, she spread her batwing under Uncle Blackknife's astonished gaze.

"You, you...... Are you a demon? ”

Uncle said with a bit of a stutter.

"Why, can't you?"

Xia patted his black wings, feeling that it was lighter than the flame wings, and he didn't need to use his mental power to manipulate it, the succubus itself was a demon who was good at flying, so it was best to use it for long distances.

"Great!"

Unexpectedly, the uncle was surprised and extended two thumbs up to her:

"Walk with the Devil Beauty and track down the evil and powerful knight...... This kind of thing can only happen in legendary novels, but I didn't expect it to happen to me today. ”

He withdrew his hands, touched his stubble and said:

"But the characters in this kind of novel have a majestic nickname, so why don't I call it 'Morrius the Dragon Slayer'? Uh-huh, that's a good name. ”

"Your name is Maurius?"

Xia finally learned the name of Uncle Black Knife.

"Oh no, I'm too excited."

The uncle slapped his head twice, annoyed that he had accidentally given his real name.

"It's just a name, what are you doing with it."

Xia Zhenyi flew into the sky and said to him with mental induction:

"Let's hurry first, we've wasted a lot of time trying to make it up for us, and I hope we won't lose it."

"My name is blacklisted in all countries, so it's a lot of trouble to say it...... But it's also an honor to be known by Miss Demon, ha! ”

Maurius shook the reins that the shop had arranged for the chickpeus, and a force of power was released from his body:

"Don't worry, I'm already familiar with that guy's route of action, and I guarantee to take you to find it in the shortest possible time!"

Under the pressure of the strong, the chickpeus, who was still a little irritable, obediently lowered his head and carried him towards the wilderness in the suburbs.

The two of them chased one in the sky and the other in the ground, and for three days in the wilderness where the dark aura grew everywhere, they still did not see the shadow of the torrential rain.

"Maurius, are you sure you're not on the wrong path?"

Xia asked with a skeptical expression.

In the dangerous wilderness, she has always used the voice transmission to communicate with others, so she doesn't have to be taboo to call her name directly.

"Huh!"

Maurius slashed an arm-thick snake with a black knife, then kicked out the head of the snake, which was still struggling and writhing, and walked under a tree with most of the snake's body:

"Don't worry, don't dare to say anything else, I'm one of the best people in the organization to track, except for that wolf girl, who can't be compared, I should be able to rank second."

He began to work on the snake's meat, which was so tender that it was a rare delicacy for adventurers if the venom glands were removed and cooked in the right way.

"yes, I hope you're not bragging."

Natsu snorted.

Then a shout came from Maurius's head:

"--What did you just say?"

"Oh my God, Miss Demon, are you using a psychic attack on me?"

Maurius covered his head and said:

"But I just admire the passionate women......"

"Did you mention the Wolf Girl?"

Xia lowered his voice a little and asked anxiously:

"What's her name? Is it a blue-haired, female werewolf with the same strength as you? ”

"This ...... Members' information is a secret ...... of our organization"

Maurius looked hesitant.

"I'll give you that chickpea!"

"Deal!"

Maurius's answer should be very refreshing:

"Hi Buffett! We're still in this group. ”

With a slight pull, the tough snake body was pulled off and thrown back to the chickpeus.

The chickpeas themselves are also snake eaters, so they screamed happily and lowered their heads to eat snake meat.

"Actually, that wolf girl is much more famous on the continent than me, and you should have heard of her title...... Blizzard Princess. ”

He didn't see Xia's sudden change in face, squatted there to clean up the poisonous snake, and said to himself:

"In the past, the strength of the two of us was indeed about the same, and I should still have a little advantage when I held this knife, but some time ago she learned a move that can release blue lightning, and it seems to be much more powerful than before."

It's Delia.

Xia leaned weakly against the tree:

Blizzard Princess, similar strength to Uncle Black Knife, Blue Lightning...... This must be Delia, that's right.

"It turns out that she is a member of the atheist organization, so that a lot of things on the island can be explained."

She muttered to herself.

"Oh? Do you know the wolf girl? ”

Maurius finally noticed her anomaly and stopped:

"And she is an enemy? Or friends? ”

"What does that mean, you ask?"

Xia barely stabilized his feelings and said in a deep voice.

"No, no, it has nothing to do with me."

Maurius shook his head repeatedly:

"If you're her enemy, just let me say nothing, if it's a friend......"

"I'm her friend."

Xia took a deep breath:

"-Best friend!"

She was right to say so, because the two had already made a blood contract, and the other party's life was closely linked to her.

Sensing a strange gaze, she looked up and saw that Maurius had turned his face at some point, staring at her with a sharp gaze.

"In that case, I'll have to sue you for something."

Maurius turned around and continued to deal with the viper as if nothing had happened. R1152
