Chapter 49: Mana Returns

Dieter babbles on and on about Rhodes, while Grom and Ryan observe their surroundings for possible dangers. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info one of the two is a well-known monster hunter, and the other is an excellent mercenary who was famous many years ago, although it is unlikely that there is a big danger in chasing an escaped little fox man, but it is the caution in any situation that has allowed these two men to survive until now.

There was nothing unusual around, but the monster hunter's giant wolf companion slowed down and turned his head to look at his master. With a rumbling sound from above, Ryan looked up and immediately understood what was happening.

The wind was blowing, and clouds were gathering in the distant sky, and the glow of thunder and lightning was beginning to flicker in the sky, and a common bad weather was brewing and approaching here.

"The storm is coming, it's strange, it's all this season......" Ryan turned his head to look at the three employers, interrupting the businessman-looking man's instruction to his juniors, "We need to speed up, the rain will dilute the smell of prey, and we will lose our goal." ”

"Okay, let's pick up the pace. Dee nodded in understanding, and then continued to speak to Rod. Although he is getting older, his body is still quite strong, and he can keep up with the monster hunter: "I'll teach you how to do it, after catching her, throw her into a cage to dry for a while, let her sleep at night, and put her back in the cage when she sleeps when the matter is done." Be serious and clearly remind her of your ownership of her, tell her that you won't go along with her in everything, and promise her that you will never let her go so easily if she does it again. If you don't know what expression and tone to use, then remember to imitate your father, whose blood is in your veins, it shouldn't be difficult. ”

"Xiao Luo is such a kind child, you actually taught him to bully people. Seeing that the boy was cheerful again, Silna couldn't help but interject and quip.

"What kind of bullying is this?" Dieter scoffed: "We don't bully, but we also have to know what bullying looks like, and only then will he know how to deal with bullying when it comes to him—"

"Boom—" Dieter was interrupted by the thunder, the wind shook the trees, the leaves rustled, and the forest seemed to come alive.

"Remember, let's get her back quickly. "Rhodes was struggling with what to do, and it would be nice to have someone to point him into. After making a decision in his heart and knowing what to do, the whole person became relaxed, and soon became interested in the giant wolf that led everyone to chase the little fox man, and took the initiative to ask the hunter.

......

"Nakalya was raised by me, her parents attacked humans and were killed by the hunters, and then a litter of cubs was taken out for auction, and most of her siblings were divided between me and my brothers. In fact, the demon wolf's parents were killed by Ruien's own hands, but he will keep this matter in his heart forever: "They are very good helpers, with sensitive senses, extremely strong combat effectiveness, and the wisdom and understanding of ten-year-old children." ”

"It turns out it's a mother. Rod frowned, and suddenly an idea popped up: Nakarinya's name is much better than rose, little silver or something, and she really doesn't know how to name it.

Just as he was thinking about whether to change the names of the little fox and the little mare, the necklace on his chest suddenly trembled slightly, and passed into his body against the sternum, and Rod seemed to hear the buzzing of the skeleton vibrating.

This is the first time since going out that the necklace given to him by his mother has reacted with a magnitude that can be felt, what happened?

"Woo-" The demon wolf also stopped, and roared a few times with his tail between his legs, not daring to continue moving.

"Huh?" Ryan was a little strange, squatted down and touched the demon wolf's head, communicated with his non-human companions, and quickly raised his head to look at the sky again, the clouds above their heads were twisted into various weird shapes, and with another gust of wind blowing, everyone could hear the sound of tree branches breaking: "Nakalya sensed that there was an abnormal magic fluctuation ahead, but this area is not a no-man's land, and there can't be any powerful monsters inhabiting it." This suggests that the danger comes from other sources, and that it is most likely not a storm in the sky, but a surge of magic. ”

The word "magic surge?" was a word that everyone present was familiar with, and anyone who was not illiterate must have heard of it - a crack appeared in the space, and a large amount of magic energy gushed into this world. It is the return of magic that constitutes the overall phenomenon of the Magic Tide and the Age of Magic.

Yes, yes, yes, but not even anyone of Dieter and Grom's age here has ever seen a real surge of magic. After all, the last round of large-scale mana resurgence was at the beginning of the Fifth Age of Magic, two hundred years ago, and this one has only just begun.

The thunder and lightning flickered again, reflecting the outline of the forest sea on the top of the mountain, the wind strengthened, and the necklace on his chest trembled more and more, Rod did not tell his companions about the abnormal movement of the pendant, he wanted to continue to walk forward and chase his precious fox man back.

"Is there a danger in the return of mana?" Dieter glanced at Rhodes, although he had been teaching him why to chase and how to treat the fox girl in a way that was in line with his identity, but if there was danger ahead, he would not hesitate to take the boy back to town, and he would not hesitate to say all nonsense along the way.

"There is no danger in itself with a resurgence of mana. Ryan hesitated a little, "The possibility of being injured and dying by a crack in the space directly penetrating the body is very small, it is rarer than being struck by lightning, but there is a certain probability that the return of magic will bring life from the other world." Some of them may have intelligence and can communicate, but they are usually irrational monsters, and our profession, in addition to clearing and hunting ordinary beasts within the range of human activities, is more of a job and source of income to deal with these otherworldly beings. ”

"Since you're a professional, move on. ”

"Wait. Ryan turned his head and stared at Dieter with a serious face: "I think I may not have made it clear, I do 'professional' deal with monsters from the other world, but not all other monsters can be dealt with by a hunter." A hunter will scout and prepare before he goes to work, and if he finds that the enemy is beyond his control, he will try to contact his nearest colleague or mercenary to find someone to work with. Sometimes, there are even rare and significant situations - the monsters that break in are too powerful to fight against manpower, and require the joint action of the army and the great mage. ”

"Understood. Dieter turned his head to look at Rhodes: "There may be danger ahead, let's go back." ”

"But she's still there. ”

"It's just a fox man, I'll go back and find a place to buy you another one, find the right place, I don't need ten milders. ”

"No, I'll just ask for silver. ”

"Tsk-" Dieter didn't care about the life of an orc, but seeing that Rhodes' expression was resolute and scrappy, he had to turn his head and ask the expert: "How far is this from our tracking target?"
