Chapter 179: Demon Pet
Blue Water Farm.
This is the southernmost part of the jurisdiction of the Fire Sacred Academy, and further south, after the Blue Water Lake, among those faintly visible mountains, is the place where the students of the Holy Academy experience and adventure, where demonic beasts are rampant, ordinary people can't set foot at all.
To the north of the Blue Water Lake is an entire open plain that is rare in the entire Magic Continent. The proportion of grain produced here accounts for as much as one-tenth of the grain production in the entire jurisdiction of the Fire Sacred Temple.
Blue Water Farm is the closest to Blue Water Lake among the dozens of farms in this plain.
At this time, the sunset is reflected on the calm surface of the lake.
Layla was fishing by the lake, and her heart was not at all calm, no wonder she had been sitting here for half a day without yielding anything.
Layla is the prettiest of the hundreds of girls on the Grey Water Farm, and at the age of sixteen, she is different from all the girls on the farm, not only in terms of her appearance, but also in terms of her thoughts and recent encounters.
Half a year ago, it was also such a dusk, and she picked up a strange stone by the lake.
Layla knew at a glance that it was the core of a Warcraft, because she had seen something similar.
Every year, there are students who go to the south to experience the Holy Academy, passing by Bishui Farm, and staying here for the night.
If they come back from the mountains to the south, their backpacks will be filled with such magic cores.
However, the one Layla picked up was a little different. It was much bigger and prettier than all the cores Layla had ever seen.
The magic core the size of two eggs is so blue that it is intoxicating, and you can see the complex texture in it when you meet the light.
Layla is very smart, she hides this core so well that even her parents don't know she has it.
It wasn't until October 12, the day of the Holy Radiance, that she took advantage of her mother to take her to the Holy Mountain to worship and showed the demon core to the priest.
"Let me see, huh...... This magic core is at least level nine, and judging by the color, it should be a water-based demonic beast, where did you get it?"
"Lord Shepherd, I picked it up by the blue water lake......"
"Maybe the monster in the lake was left behind countless years ago, and you want to offer it to the God of Light?" the priest looked at Layla with interest.
"Oh, Lord Priesthood...... I, I, I actually want to trade it for a magic pet......" Layla looked expectant.
"What do you want? You know, there are no pets for sale in the church......"
"I, I want, I want a slave of sin from the north......"
Layla finally said what she wanted, she didn't want to be like the other children on the farm, and at the age of sixteen, she would receive an ugly orc pet. Those kobolds or gnolls don't know anything but help with farming.
She had seen a passing Templar student, and his pet was actually a magician! A living person! If she hadn't been told in person, Layla would not have guessed that such a person who could think, speak, and even use magic was the student's pet.
Ever since that time, Layla had wanted such a sorcerer's pet, and she had already inquired that it was a slave of sin from the north. It is said that it was because he committed an unpardonable sin that he ended up like this.
When the priest heard her request, he seemed surprised: "This is really an interesting request, but children, sin slaves, like ordinary demon pets, are not under the control of the church...... However, I'll help you ask the Holy Academy, I think a ninth-level demon core should be able to exchange for a sin slave. ”
Ever since that pilgrimage, Layla has been waiting for news from the priest.
But for more than two months, she didn't receive a reply from Lord Shenmu.
Even her father began to blame her: "You kid is really fooling around, with such a magic core, maybe you can go to the Holy Courtyard to study, you have to change some magic pet! ”
Layla's family is a Bothian, the lowest of the three castes in the Magic Continent, and has no right to settle in the mountains, and only a very few Pothon children can get the opportunity to go to the Holy Courtyard to study, but after completing their studies, they can only return to live under the mountain.
Blonde hair and blue eyes are the hallmark of the Bothians, and since there is no intermarriage between different castes, the children of the Portans will only be Bothians.
In the Magic Continent, the noblest caste is the black-haired and black-eyed Helians.
Except for these two types of people, all other people with different hair and skin colors are Madtim.
Interestingly, because of the strict system of inter-caste marriage, the noblest Hailians and Portaeans have always maintained their purebred blood. The Madim, on the other hand, are a mess.
Just when poor Layla thought her hopes had been dashed, the God of Light gave her an unexpected surprise.
Three days ago, she received news from the farm steward that a sin slave from the north was on his way to Bishui Farm. Along with the sin slave, of course, there is also a magic pet contract orb.
After receiving the news, Layla waited at the Crown steward for two whole days, so much so that everyone at the farm management made fun of her.
"Layla, when the beast tide comes, you don't need to go to the Holy Courtyard to apply for rescue, it's enough to have your magic pet, haha......"
"Our little Layla doesn't want to be a peasant woman......"
The most infuriating thing is that Krona's pet, the jackal, actually laughed with them. This brute, who couldn't even speak human language, was actually laughing at her, and Layla finally ran to the blue water lake in a fit of rage.
"Layla......" This is the voice of Layla's father.
"Are you coming?"
"It's coming!"
Layla ran to the farm management office, and threw her fishing rod at the lake, not bothering to put it away.
......
Walking into the farm management office, Layla noticed that everyone was looking at her with a strange look, and it didn't take long for her to find out why.
Inside the cage is a Hellian!
Layla's pet is actually a Helian?
In fact, this is not a coincidence, whether it is the Holy Courtyard or other places, no one will want to find a Helian to be a demon pet.
The Helian Pet is an inappropriate encroachment to the Madim, and to the Helian, to summon a superior person of the same race is equally uncomfortable.
Therefore, the vast majority of the Helian sin slaves who were transported to the Magic Continent would have their memories erased and become slaves at the lowest level of the factory, unless they encountered a demand like Layla's without any strings attached—she didn't say anything when she handed over the ninth-level demon core.
With the help of her parents and two kobolds, Layla dragged the cage to her farmhouse.
Immediately afterward, she drove everyone out of the door and closed the door.
"Be careful, the sin slave is very vicious!"
Her mother's voice was a little uneasy, but Layla didn't pay attention to her.
She stood outside the cage and looked closely at the sin slave in front of her, who looked weak, not like he would be able to attack.
Layla knows how to use the Pet Contract Orb, and many of the children on the farm her age have already performed this ritual and have their own orc pets.
She carefully pointed one hand inside the cage, pinched the contract ball with the other, and forced!
The moment the "bang" pact ball was pinched and exploded, Layla felt a strange feeling, and she could confirm that she had established some kind of special connection with the Helian in front of her.
From this moment on, she will unconditionally carry out all the orders of this Hailian.
Donner let out a long breath, and finally, the first important level was passed.
(Tortured to death by rhinitis, the intraocular pressure was extremely high, and a whole pack of tissues was used in just a few hours.) Ask for a commuter pass and a recommended ticket to console me!) (To be continued.) )
