Chapter 18: The Enigmatic Shadow
Chapter 18: The Mysterious Shadow
Back at the Mage Manor, it was already eleven o'clock at night, and Horst wanted Tucker and the three to not go over, but it was too late. www.biquge.info The three of them had already gone out half an hour before Horst and Sattar returned, but they had left to look at other areas.
Looking at the crescent moon in the sky, Horst paced in the courtyard with some uncertainty, and by this time Sattar had already gone into the house and slept.
"What kind of people are they, and what is the purpose of their coming to the Demon Beast Mountain Range?" he muttered to himself, but the more he thought about it, the more clueless he became, especially when he saw the two beating blood-red flames, Horst was even more sure that the group of black shadows were not normal humans.
"Brother Stone, what are you thinking, your face is so ugly?" Moria's sweet voice interrupted Horst's thoughts, and at the same time, a bright white flame rose in front of Horst.
"Carbon flames?" Horst looked at the flames with a bit of confusion.
"Yes, I extract carbon and oxygen, mix the two, apply mana, and it becomes this magical magic, of course, I also talked about it in class. Molia said with a grin, "Brother Shi's face just now is about the same color as the flames, but it is miserable white. ”
"It's not because of your flames?" Horst hastened to excuse himself.
"Elemental mages have a lot more magic skills than summoned beasts, why don't Brother Stone give up summoning mages and transfer to our Elemental Mage Academy?" Seeing that Horst was a little flustered, Molia hooked up and said, "Brother Stone, what do you think?"
"Elemental mage?" Horst wondered, but in his heart he thought it was a little ridiculous. In his previous life, he was a genius in chemistry, but he was more fond of organic chemistry, and when he discovered that the summoning beast in this world was the materialization of organic compound molecules, Horst chose to become a summoner without hesitation.
However, an elemental mage is equivalent to inorganic chemistry in a previous life, so how could a chemical genius not be proficient in inorganic chemistry. In fact, his current strength is completely capable of becoming an elemental mage.
Touching Molia's head, Molia's face instantly turned red, and Horst was amused again, he didn't expect that he was not very successful in his previous life, and he made people so shy with such a small action in this world.
Not caring about these details, Horst changed the subject and asked, "Leah, have you ever seen such a human, or any other creature?" Horst was always thinking about the dark shadows he saw on the way back, and they were mysterious black shadows, deeply ingrained in Horst's heart.
Horst gave Moliya a general description of what he had encountered, but he didn't mention the blood-red flames that danced in the dark shadow's eyes. I don't know why.,Anyway, it's the kind of ghost that doesn't say this unique characteristic.。
"Rancid humans?" Moria wondered, "Brother Stone, we humans have a faint fragrance on our bodies, where could there be those rancid smells?
"Impossible!" Seeing that Molia did not answer, Horst quickly shook his head, but said nothing more. However, Horst knew in his heart that Molia might not have seen this kind of human, or the original owner of his body had never seen it.
"It's not early, it's almost early in the morning, doesn't Brother Stone sleep?" Moriya asked with a little blush, "By the way, if I'm free tomorrow afternoon, Horst can go with me to some places in the Demon Beast Mountain Range and hunt some bigtooth rabbits." The meat of the big-toothed rabbit is very delicious, and it was often eaten at home. ”
Horst nodded, and when he saw that Molia had also entered the house, he also went back to the house.
Originally, they had planned to come back around five o'clock, but Tucker, Dennis, and Mo Xunyun didn't return to the Mage Manor until about ten o'clock the next morning.
"Why did you come back so late, didn't it take so much time on the road?" Horst wondered.
"Don't say it, it's all Dennis's doing, and when he saw the bigtoothed rabbit running out of the nest, he wanted to catch a few. As ......soon as Tucker wanted to continue, Dennis quickly covered his mouth and let out a "whine" sound.
"It's okay, Horst, it's all right, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. Dennis argued, "It really has nothing to do with me, it's Brother Xunyun who said that rabbit meat is delicious, so I hurriedly summoned a neopentane beast and wanted to hunt a few." ”
When Horst heard this, he looked at the clothes on Tucker and his party, which were already in tatters, and guessed what had happened. It must have been the three of them who were chased by the demon wolf clan and ran in the wrong direction in a panic, and their clothes must have been bitten by the demon wolf.
"Did you meet the Demon Wolf King?"
"No, no,...... No, we accidentally cut these clothes. Dennis saw Horst's eyes look at his clothes and quickly covered it up.
"Forget it, it's actually nothing, it's just that I was chased by a demon wolf. Mo Xunyun waved his hand, "Dennis, don't be so impulsive next time, what kind of rabbit are you robbing from other people's demon wolves?"
When Dennis heard this, his face turned red and white, obviously afraid that everyone would blame him.
"Next time, Leah and I decided to hunt some rabbits last night, after all, the meat of bigtoothed rabbits is not so easy to eat in the imperial capital. Seeing this, Horst hurried to relieve the siege.
"By the way, do you have anything else going on?" Horst asked, still thinking about the dark shadows he had seen at night, "It will take a while longer for the demon wolf to observe the pattern of the demon wolf's activities before we can be fully prepared." ”
"I didn't encounter anything else, that is, we were rescued by a small team of mages in the process of being chased by demon wolves, and it seems that we came from the imperial capital. Tucker was finally able to speak, and glared at Dennis fiercely, who seemed to know that he was wrong, and silently returned to his room.
Hearing the previous sentence, Horst instinctively became excited, but when Tucker finished speaking, Horst understood that what Tucker said was not the same thing as what he had encountered.
"What kind of commission does that team of mages seem to have been given to find some spirit pet race?" Tucker said, "What, Horst, do you have something to do?"
"Spirit Pet Clan, then this team of mages should be heading to the inner perimeter of the Demon Beast Mountain Range. Horst guessed that the lowest-level spirit pets were indeed common, but they would not become a large group, and only higher-level spirit pets would appear in some gathering places in the form of a race, such as the inner perimeter of the Warcraft Mountain Range.
Although the inner perimeter of the Demon Beast Mountain Range is the world of predators, it does not mean that there are no other creatures to survive, and spirit pets are one of them. Spirit pets usually gather in places where the Heaven and Earth Yuan Force is relatively strong, and the inner perimeter of the Demon Beast Mountain Range just meets this condition.
There are usually two ways to obtain spirit pets, one is to buy them with money through auction houses and auctions, and the other is to rely on themselves to capture them. However, the stronger the Heaven and Earth Yuan Power, the greater the danger, so many summoning mages would rather pay for high-level spirit pets themselves than go to those dangerous places to capture them in person.
"Go back to the news, and tell Dennis not to go in the evening. Horst was worried that Dennis would cause something to happen again, so he told Tucker.
"In the afternoon, Moriya and I went hunting the bigtoothed rabbit, would Brother Xunyun want to go?" Horst proposed to Mo Xunyun.
When Mo Xunyun heard this, his face froze, and then he said, "Forget it, you guys go." ”
"I'll leave my sister to you. Mo Xunyun suddenly leaned into Horst's ear and whispered.
Horst subconsciously coughed twice.
