The mission was completed in an absurd way that Barrett could have imagined, which reminded him of a proverb he had learned from the griffon kingdom, "You never know what's waiting for you on the other side of the corner." ”

He originally thought that in the face of such a behemoth, he would definitely have to go through a very difficult battle, after all, it was not easy to make such a big guy lie down quietly, and the paralyzing poison he needed must be huge.

The method of bringing poison into the frost worm's body through the blade is undoubtedly very inefficient, and it can take a long time and countless wounds to do.

Not only that, but based on the much smaller frostworm he had caught earlier, the tough skin on the outside of this frostworm was probably half a meter thick, and Barrett was even worried that his 'Iron Bride' would be difficult to pierce it and bring poison into the frost worm's body, after all, his weapons were not known for their sharpness.

But the Half-Elf solved this problem very easily.

The frostworm was still quietly open after being filled with three full bottles of paralyzing poison, allowing the half-elf to feed moss into its mouth from time to time. But after a cup of tea, the frost worm's mouth slowly closed, and after a while, the big guy finally lost consciousness without accident.

It slumped on the moss, its body heaving slightly, and the half-elf touched the frost worm's head and beckoned to everyone, the sight reminded Barrett of the earth dog sleeping soundly in the sun in his hometown.

It was a lazy dog, who rarely barked, always slept, had a good temper, could go up and touch anyone, but never ate anything that strangers fed.

Barrett remembers his dad saying of the dog, "To be honest, it's not a good dog because it never looks after the home and never wags its tail when it sees its owner come back, but at least it's a dog with its own unique principles." ”

It's good to be principled, his dad always said.

Compared with catching this frost worm, how to send it away took a lot of effort from Barrett and others. This frost worm is too big to move, and even if its head is turned inwards and coiled in circles, Old Will will not be able to carry the magic stone with him enough to transport it through the teleportation circle.

According to the mage, the consumption of mana by this improvised teleportation circle is massive. The circle's consumption nearly doubled with each lap of growth, which meant that the amount of magic stones advanced by the mission employer, Mage Eleanor, was not enough for this kind of situation, and even if Old Will had his own magic stones, it would not be enough.

Instead, they had to make the frostworm's footprint a little smaller. The ogre, Moglock and Barrett, are the undisputed workhorses in this work, while the gnomes and half-elves play a negligible role, and as for Old Will, magic is useful almost at all times.

As he moved the frost bug, the tall ogre took off its full armor for the first time, and threw the cotton smock under the armor to the ground. The ogre was naked, revealing muscles as hard as steel.

Barrett also saw a special pattern on the ogre's back, saying that the pattern was special, not that it was complicated or weird, it was just a very simple pattern outlined with a few lines, but it was still special, because it was actually a six-pointed star, not the seven-pointed star often used by the Magic Association, and I don't know if it had any deep meaning.

The barbarian heard that the mages of the Magic Empire before used the six-pointed star to represent magic, and they all used the six-pointed star as the basis for many magic circles and spells. But after the empire, six became seven, Barrett didn't know what the difference was, but whether it was the folk or the upper class, whether it was ancient or now, in people's cognition, seven has always been a very magical number.

When he asked Old Will this question, the mage replied like this:

"The magic seven-pointed star is more complex than the six-pointed star, and the power it contains is more powerful. But the Empire's former mages and warlocks did not dare to use it, because it was difficult to control. Just like you can form a stable six-pointed star by making two triangles with heads and tails, but you can't do that, you can draw a seven-pointed star with one stroke, but it is extremely difficult to draw it perfectly. And when it comes to working magic, this level of uncontrollability is even greater. Even in ancient times, magic seven-pointed stars became taboo for a time, because any point of uncontrollable would lead the effects of magic to the unknown, and the unknown often meant danger. As for the greater degree of uncontrollability, it would normally turn magic into a catastrophe and catastrophe......"

Old Will's words made Barrett feel a little chilled, and he suddenly remembered the drunken words that a drunkard had said in the tavern of Pigs Bay, "Those mages will dig their own graves one day!"

Barrett didn't know if the day the drunkard said would actually come, after all, nothing is immortal, not even mages, and the Magic Empire is an example. But if one day, Barrett fears that maybe the mages will bury the entire world or even the multiverse for them, whether they do it or not, at least they have the power.

Just like that drunkard, although he used the stimulation of alcohol to say irresponsible big words, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, the drunkard instantly sobered up. Barrett still remembered the drunkard's pale face and bewildered expression, as if frozen by the winter mist, and the sight made him sigh deeply.

"But don't worry, the mages in the future of the empire will be able to grasp the power of the magic seven-pointed star very well. Old Will seemed to see Barrett's concern, and explained with a smile, "Don't worry, as long as you can master it, the seven-pointed star will be more perfect and stable than the six-pointed star." From fear to control, any kind of power will go through such a process, like a flame. ”

Barrett couldn't help but think of the fire in the slums of Garano City, and then for a split second he threw these things out of his mind, these were not things he should be thinking about, no!

......

Moglock's strength was greater than Barrett had imagined, and he lifted the frostworm's massive tail with a single person, placing it on the frostworm's own body.

It was a very laborious task, as the frostworm was nearly four meters tall, much taller than the tallest ogre in the group.

Barrett dragged desperately on the frost worm's body, the ogre struggled to lift it underneath, and with the help of magic, they gradually put the outermost body of the frostworm coiled into a circle and successfully put it on the inner layer, so that the frost worm's footprint was reduced by a large circle.

And then there's the work of Old Will. Drawing a magic circle and inlaying magic stones, it was no surprise that this huge frost worm was sent to an unknown distance.

"Ha, mission accomplished!" Old Will happily announced to everyone as the frost worms disappeared into the circle.

There was a slight look of relief and relief on everyone's faces, except for Barrriet, as the strange words popped out again.
