Chapter 294: Invalid Circle
A green snake, a rabbit, a mountain sparrow, and a red-crowned turtle were trapped in their mouths and feet, and they were stuffed into a cage woven of wicker engraved with charms, and hung from the tops of four wooden pillars in a north-east-east direction.
The long, red silk threads twisted into various strange patterns were tightly tied to the small animals, poking out of the cages and hooking up with each other. Four or five yellow runes were glued to these silk threads, suspended in mid-air, and slowly fluttered in the gentle breeze.
The wizards who stayed in the middle of the four pillars could faintly see that rainbow light flowed down from these runes, fell on those thin silk threads, and disappeared.
Amber held a heavy Dharma book and went around the four pillars to pray and recite words in her mouth.
What 'Snake Snake Shuoyan, from Shaoyang', 'Heavenly Destiny Xuanniao, Dimension Reduction Lao Yang' and so on, are all spells that sound very strange.
Other young hunters who had completed their tasks sat in the middle of the circle, or buried themselves in copying new spells to the spell books, or wiping their gloves and sorting out the potions in their packages.
Of course, there are people who are in a daze, napping, and so on.
"That little bird is so pitiful. Fat Xin sighed, stopped what he was doing, and whispered.
"Isn't the rabbit pitiful?" Zhang Jixin glanced at the fat man and snorted.
"Shhhh Turtle... It's also ...... Hiss... Poor!" Iseni also came over to join in the fun.
"It always felt like we had done something really bad. Xin Fatzi looked at the mountain sparrow that was still struggling desperately in the cage, and felt concerned: "If we were outside, we should have been dragged to the dean's office by the investigator of the three-pronged sword...... Maybe I'll have to go to Danhag for a lawsuit. ”
In the provisions of the Wizarding Code, the random killing of a creature on the prescribed list is a second-degree murder and is a very serious crime. For the vast majority of normal wizards, reverence for life means reverence for that codex.
"Don't feel guilty, we're in a strange hunting ground right now, outside the jurisdiction of the Wizarding Code. Omega exhorted, "I wish the investigators from the Trident would appear in front of us now and send us a few summonses...... That way we can at least get out of here safely. ”
"Even if you're outside, you don't necessarily need to go to court. Zhang Jixin suddenly spoke up and corrected: "According to Dan Hag's judicial interpretation of second-degree murder, killing innocent lives at will is second-degree murder, and for legitimate purposes such as experimental purposes and magical sacrifices, and can provide data related to the 'non-wizard transformation' of experimental materials, it belongs to the relevant exemption clause - you only need to pay a high murder tax afterwards." ”
"I remember two years ago the tax rate was 250 percent, based on the market value of the organisms needed. ”
Hearing this, the other hunters looked at each other.
After a long time, Omega finally spoke.
In other words, if you have money, you can do whatever you want, that's what it means, right? The skinny wizard from Starry Sky Academy took off his deerskin hat and rubbed it on his dragon leather jacket, and suddenly sighed deeply: "The more I grow up, the more scared I become...... It turns out that what my dad used to tell me was the truth. ”
The money-loving miserly owner of Jota's restaurant has gained a bit of fame even among the freshmen of First University.
Relative to Omega, Xin Fat's focus is in the other direction.
"Are you really Elder Zhang?" The fat man's eyes widened, staring at the red-faced wizard in surprise, one hand touched the law book, and it seemed that he would throw a few evil spells on Zhang Jixin's face at any time: "If these words are said by the doctor, I can still accept them...... As for you...... Do you know any of these things?"
He made no secret of his suspicions.
This annoyed the red-faced wizard.
But he had to patiently explain: "Two years ago, my second brother accidentally hammered a bobcat to death while hunting...... The family punished him for copying the relevant laws and regulations a thousand times. ”
"My brother is a bit lazy, so he paid me to help copy it. ”
"If you copy this explanation hundreds of times, you can blurt it out without hesitation. ”
The explanation is plausible and sympathetic.
While a few people were chatting, Amber had already completed the establishment of the 'Four Elephants Circle' and was walking over to the chatters with the Dharma book in his arms.
"I didn't say I was going to sacrifice these little animals. It's just that with the subtle connection between them and their ancestors, they can connect with the power of the stars in the sky by sensing the four images. ”
"Not only will it not hurt these little ones, but it will also inspire their intelligence. So you don't have to worry about the 'murder tax' later...... If the Trident is really going to get us in trouble. ”
As he spoke, the new right man of the hunting team had already leaned against a slope, covered his face with the law book, and added in a subtle and vague voice: "Instead of paying attention to those four little things, it is better to care more about yourself." ”
"If I were you, I would hurry up and get some sleep now...... Just like Zheng Qing. ”
"If nothing else, we'll be in this hunting ground for a long time, and we'll be exposed to more dangers. Therefore, it is very important to maintain sufficient physical strength and magic. ”
The voice under the Dharma book became softer and softer, and soon it was completely inaudible.
The soothsayer's advice worked well for the young hunters, and soon snoring began to sound on the hills.
A gentle breeze swept across the hills, rustling the branches and leaves of the bushes.
Although the fluffy yellow sun in mid-air still sowed a faint light tirelessly, the small hill shrouded by the Four Elephants Circle seemed to have fallen into darkness, and everything was silent.
......
Perhaps because he was on land, Iseni felt that his sleep quality was terrible.
Dry air pours down its nasal cavity into its alveoli, and then takes away a lot of water from its body, and slowly flows out along the cheeks behind its ears, making it feel hot with every breath it takes.
Although the hunting party gave it the only source of water on the hill, the puddle, which was less than five meters in circumference and only three feet deep, seemed too small for a tall, chubby fishman.
Every time he buried his head in the depths of the puddle and swallowed the muddy water at the bottom of the pit, the young fish-man warrior couldn't help but miss the huge, unfathomable Linzhong Lake.
It was as if it had been a long, long time since the last time I had fun in that lake.
The young fish-man thought and swallowed as he tried to close his eyelids to prevent the mud from polluting his eyes.
Faintly, it felt something slender licking the scales on either side of its cheek.
"Shhhh No... Noisy... Hiss... Sleep..."
The fish-man stretched out his wide webbed paw and grabbed it at the side of his face, trying to give the troublesome little frog a little rest.
Then it touched a cool liquid.
The fish-man was confused for a few seconds, and his eyes suddenly widened.
A dozen centimeters away from his eyes, his little flying frog was lying on the water's edge with its tongue out, looking like it was about to die.
On the frog's back, three deep scratches are clearly visible, and the bones are deeply visible.
The fish-man rolled over and stared out of the circle.
All kinds of demons gathered not far from the small hill, and the shadows were full of shadows, and the black pressed a large area. The cold-blooded fish-man's heart tightened suddenly.
"Enemy... Attack!!"
It cried out in a hoarse voice.
