Chapter 233: Minotaur
As we all know, the Minotaur is one of the revered totems of the ancient Cretans, with a bull-headed human body, infinite strength but fierce and ferocious. Even to the ancient wizards, this existence belonged to the ranks of monsters.
With the continuous development of wizard civilization, the territory of monsters is gradually suppressed, shrinking, and even gradually disappearing.
Many of the creatures of antiquity with special abilities are only shadows from books, stories from old people that have been passed down from generation to generation, and a bone, an eyeball, or a rough-handled, strange-smelling crust from the treasury of some historic wizarding family.
However, the more advanced the civilization, the more wizards were able to glimpse the essence of these monsters from the claws of history.
For example, the rampaging goddess Ekedna, half-human, half-snake, lives in the abyss far away from the gods and mortals, and has bred many famous monsters - such as the three-headed dog Cerberus, the hundred-headed dragon Ladon, the lion-headed and sheep-tailed fire monster Camera, and the very famous sphinx Sphinx in the area of Lower Egypt, etc. It is difficult for any wizard to understand how creatures with different life traits can be harmoniously combined, and the only explanation is that these monsters are the test objects left over from Ekedna's attempt to break through to the higher realms.
Yes, in the official history of wizards, Ekedna was a great wizard with great mana in ancient times.
And the improvement of life is the only sign that the great wizards have advanced to a higher realm.
As described in the opening preface to The Eternal Wizard's Path, "...... When a wizard creates life, he sees the threshold of the great wizard......"
“...... And this threshold also varies from person to person: a wizard who creates an intelligent beast is naturally lower than a wizard who creates an intelligent life, a wizard who creates a short-lived species is overpowered by a wizard who creates an immortal species, and even a wizard who creates a legendary fantasy seed and even a god - when a wizard can create a god at will, what kind of existence does he have?"
Another example is the Minotaur.
In ancient times, the Cretans, who possessed unique alchemical skills, once gave birth to a legendary great wizard who conquered death, Minos I. The only 'legacy' he left before he finally set foot on the Star Path was the 'Taurus' who lived in the labyrinth, hence the 'Taurus' also known as the Minotaurs.
As a legacy of Minoan I, the presence of the Minotaur created a fragile passage between life and death – and it's not hard to imagine later wizards graving on it.
This was the misfortune of the Minotaur, but also its luck.
Unfortunately, when its protector left this world, it was soon besieged by many pretenders.
Luckily, when the other legendary monsters disappeared from history, the Minotaur left a lot of blood behind because of the wizards' long-standing interest in it.
The Minotaur is a 'secondary' minotaur based on a legendary creature and bred by wizards.
In other words, the Minotaur is a low-level imitation of the Minotaur.
“...... The double-headed Minotaur, on the other hand, is an aberration, produced by an accident in some 'regular' laboratories during cultivation. When Zheng Qing explained to his companions, he emphasized the words 'formal laboratory'.
This was also the part that the official of the Wizarding League emphasized when he explained it to him.
"In other words, your summoned beast is a deformity?" the fat man's focus has always been so different.
"Is the three-headed dog deformed?Is the siren deformed?Is the fish woman deformed?" Zheng Qing was suddenly a little dissatisfied, and a series of questions were thrown on the fat man's head: "How do you know that my double-headed Minotaur is deformed? Distortion is not deformed!!"
"Yes, yes, it's nothing more than a deformed variant. The fat man corrected his statement as if he were good.
Zheng Qing took a deep breath and gave up the urge to continue arguing with the fat man.
He turned to look at the others and continued, "...... Anyway, while I didn't really like the medal, I have to admit that the permanent summoning spell on the medal was a great idea. ”
"Does it have any skills?" Xiao Xiao obviously cared more about its ability than the appearance of the two-headed Minotaur.
"A lot. Zheng Qing thought for a while before he said slowly: "First of all, it is very strong! and it likes to use a thick totem stick to ......."
"There is no doubt about it," the fat man scoffed at once, "it would be a difficult thing if you could find a thin minotaur compared to a strong minotaur." ”
Zheng Qing felt that his cheeks were a little hot.
He cleared his throat casually, and continued, "Also, unlike the other Minotaur who only hit people with sticks, my two-headed Minotaur can magic—which he should have done through the resonance and coordination of two voices—is some very interesting and useful auxiliary aura. ”
"Don't say so much useless, summon it out for a walk, don't you know each other?" the lead hunter of the Sin Hunting Team waved his arm and shouted impatiently.
"Here?" Zheng Qing looked up at the ceiling above his head, then looked around.
His point was clear, this was just an ordinary classroom in a school building, and if he casually summoned some strange creatures in such a place, regardless of whether the pickets would deduct his credits or not, it was obviously not a good idea to simply have a narrow space and a crowded crowd.
"Certainly not here. Zhang Jixin's red face lit up, revealing a bit of purple.
He twisted his neck and added in a gruff voice, "I mean training at night...... When I train in the evening, I take the time to call it out and meet everyone. ”
"If you're going to use this summoning spell at the Freshman Tournament, it's a real need to meet you. Xiao Xiao put away the notebook and echoed the main hunter's point of view.
Zhang Jixin's face suddenly softened a lot.
"Since that's the case," Zheng Qing saw that everyone seemed to be interested, and finally could only reluctantly nod: "Then if you have time, I'll give you a meeting." ”
As it turned out, these young people were still too young.
In life, there are times when there are some things that must never be said.
For example, 'when the battle is over, I will go back to my hometown and get married', and then 'wait for me, I will definitely come back', and 'if there is time...'.
If there is time, it means that there is no time at all.
Just like the young wizards of the Sin Hunting Force, they planned to have time to meet the summoned beasts in the Order of Merlin, but they were busy from Thursday to Saturday, until the opening of the 'House Cup' ball, and they never saw the Minotaur.
It's also very sad.
