Chapter 24: The Hunt Begins

"I think we've already found the location where the lich is hiding. ”

"But...... What are we ......?"

"We didn't see anything?!"

Putting the scroll letter away in his arms, Green spoke in a low voice as he turned and walked towards the exit of the kobold camp, but his words made the other three members of the [Iron Fist] adventure team confused for a moment, and even Gondork, who had always been silent and golden, couldn't help but ask.

And the most curious Ike Vernold, walked quickly in front of Green and asked.

"Captain, captain, where the hell is the lich hiding?"

Professionals who can step into the path of exemplars are not too dull, but their minds have not turned so many corners at once, so Green pauses, takes the scroll letter from his bosom, shows it in front of the rest of the adventure party, and then speaks.

"From this letter, it is clear that the dead bronze dragonborn was a messenger whose main task was to deliver the scroll letter to a man named Lother. ”

"This dragonborn's body is completely impregnated with negative energy, and it is not killed by evil spells, which means that this dragonborn itself belongs to the evil camp. ”

"Combined with the marker mark at the end of the scroll letter, we can be sure that the person who sent the message to the fallen Bronze Dragonborn is a Rune Master. ”

"The salutations in the letter are equal, and only in communication with another Lord of Sigils will the Lord of Sigils use the Mark of the Sigil Society to confirm each other, so it can be ascertained that the recipient of this scroll letter must also be a Sigil Master. ”

"Then, based on our knowledge of the Rune Society, as well as the basic membership criteria of the Rune Society: high-level undead creatures, superb spell-casting ability, and combined with the information given by the Council, we can basically determine that this Rune Master named Lother is the Lich we are looking for to hide in the depths of the sewers of Askatra!"

Ring by link, Green told his friends about the process of deduction in his mind, although it was only a momentary process in his thoughts, but it took a lot of time to tell.

And if you don't have a lot of knowledge, such as the criteria for joining the Seal Society, and the regular use of the Seal Society's mark, such an inference will definitely be broken in the middle of the process.

"But Captain, you've said all this, and you still haven't said where the lich is lurking?"

Although Green recounted his reasoning process, he did not say the final result, and in the end, Ike Froude touched his chin and couldn't help but speak.

With a sigh, Green took the heavy scales from Gondork's hand that had just been plucked from the chest of the Death Bronze Dragonborn, and motioned for Gondok to stand beside him and raise the torch high. At the same time, Green displayed the dragon scales in the light of the torches, and his fingers slowly slid along the scratches on the dragon scales.

"When you send a messenger to deliver a message, do you tell the messenger where it needs to be delivered?"

"If you can't tell the location at once, will you give the courier a map to make sure the letter can be delivered?"

At this moment, the other three immediately understood.

This scale is indeed just an ordinary bronze dragonborn scale, what is not ordinary is the scratch on it. Because the scratch on it is a map, a map that guides the courier to the recipient's address, and a map that guides the Tekken adventure team to find the Sewer Lich!

............

"Squeak!"

Sleep so comfortably!

Aking from a deep sleep, Ron cleaned his messy hair with his front paws and filled his stomach before preparing for today's trip.

After ten days of hard practice, Ron has become comfortable using the small-handed crossbow, and it can be said that he can hit a fixed target, and he can almost hit every 100 shots in the range.

However, the prey didn't stand still for Ron to aim, so it was time for Ron to practice moving the target.

In order to make it easier to carry, the small hand crossbow was originally designed with a hook, and Ron found an old leather strap to hang on the hook, so it became a style that Ron could carry on his back.

In addition, the small hand crossbow has a total of eight crossbow arrows, but Ron does not plan to carry them all this time, the first hunt, Ron will only operate in the territory of the moonlight rat, so a magic crossbow arrow that can return automatically is enough.

"Squeak!"

Let's go!

Ready, Ron crawled out of his nest and followed the primitive memories in his mind as he headed towards the area with the most prey in his territory.

"Squeak!"

Hello Chief!

"Squeak!"

Hello Chief!

"Squeak!"

Good!

As he travels, Ron can occasionally encounter moonshine rats in a colony of rats. Seeing the leader passing by, the moonlight rats all chirped in salute to their leader, and Ron chirped in return.

As Ron gradually left the core area of the Moonlight Rat Territory, this greeting gradually decreased, until the edge of the territory no longer greets Ron.

"Squeak!"

The difference in the intelligence of the moonlight rats is still obvious!

The Moonlight Rat in the core area of the territory can retain far more intelligence than the Moonlight Rat in the edge of the territory when it is not a full moon!

Although he was out hunting and practicing his accuracy at moving targets, Ron carefully observed the moonlight rat population under his command every time he went out.

Obviously, the moonlight rat divides its living area according to its level of intelligence.

Ron, the beard, the four masters, and the two recorders are the first group, and intelligence is the benchmark of the entire rat pack, and it is also the ruling core of the rat pack.

The second group is Ron, and the moonlight rat guards of the four group masters, their intelligence is less than the upper and more than the low, and they can act as tools for the first group to rule the rat group.

The next part is the moonlight rats that live in the middle of the territory, and they only have enough intelligence to talk and understand things when they are in the full moon state, and they are usually not much different from ordinary rats.

Finally, there are the moonlight rats that live on the edge of the territory, even in the full moon state, their intelligence is not much higher than that of ordinary rats, and they can only follow the actions of the rat colony, and when distributing food, they can only get a little bit.

However, Ron had a clear feeling that since he occupied the body of the leader of the moonlight rats, the intelligence level of the moonlight rat population had continued to improve, and even ordinary moonlight rats had been able to recognize their leader in a non-full moon state and salute in parallel.

This is obviously a huge step forward!

"Squeak!"

I wonder if this continues, will the moonlight rat become an intelligent creature like humans?

After all, scientists in the world once predicted that if humans ceased to exist, rodents would rise to become the world's masters!

His mind was churning, but Ron's footsteps didn't stop.

Soon, as Ron crossed a small jagged rock, the sound of countless rustling was heard, and in Ron's dark vision, the movement of countless dark red spots of light in front of him indicated that Ron had arrived at the destination of this trip.

Cockroach rocky beach.
