Chapter 52 Rather than Abundant
"Nope! The mark you have given you is a perfect deterrent to those with bad intentions. Even the guards only made a symbolic question, and then let us go. ”
As he said this, Van Gus lowered his head and gently stroked the arcane imprint on his chest with his fingers, his eyes and tone revealing excitement.
Because this is the first time since she was born that she has not been discriminated against and excluded because of her status as a werewolf.
You can even walk in the sun openly, without worrying about being driven away and killed.
It feels good to have a strong and benevolent host to shelter you......
The werewolf girl couldn't help but have such a thought in her heart.
Noticing the other party's reaction like "Stockholm syndrome", a very strange expression suddenly appeared on Zuo Si's face.
Although he could understand how much the bestials, a marginalized group excluded by civilized society, longed to live like normal people, even at the cost of becoming someone's private property.
But is it too shaky to have a strong dependence on the mark that symbolizes the status of a slave, and even to be grateful to the owner who has made the mark?
According to the viewpoint of modern medicine, this is a mental illness that requires long-term treatment.
But soon, Zuo Si threw away these thoughts that suddenly popped into his mind.
After all, Feron is not Earth, and the two worlds have completely different values.
In Faerun, the relationship between master and servant is widespread.
Even in the family of a noble holy warrior, there will be a few male servants or maids.
What's more, he is not a professional psychologist, and he does not have the time and energy to spend months or even years correcting the wrong ideas of a group of little werewolves.
Hearing that his secret method mark was useful, Zuo Si immediately continued to ask, "Then have you found anything interesting in the pet market?" ”
Van Gus hurriedly nodded vigorously: "Yes!"
Stripped of ornamental pets and normal animals that don't have any special abilities, I saw a small magical beast called Nikaron in the market.
According to the seller, although it looks about the size of a cat, it has deadly fangs and can be a very good pet for mages and warlocks, and it costs 500 gold.
There are also adventurers selling bipedal wyvern cubs that have just hatched from their eggs for 300 gold each.
If you spend an additional 2,000 gold on a Taming Guide, you can train the Wyvern as a mount and combat partner. ”
"Only Nikaron and the Wyvern cubs?"
Zuo Si subconsciously frowned, obviously very dissatisfied with these two magical creatures.
Because he would rather have a pet like Pic, Pseudo-Dragon, Little Devil, Quasai, any kind of Demon Bat, or a small elemental creature as a mage class than these messy creatures.
Yes!
Zuo Si, who has just obtained the LV1 mage level, has already begun to think about getting a slightly better magic pet to deal with potential dangers.
Of course, such a high-level magic pet often requires a mage level of at least LV5, as well as corresponding advanced magic pet expertise.
However, this is not a big problem for him who has the [Thinking Library].
"There are only two types of smaller ones.
In addition to that, I've seen people selling wolf cubs and some felines who don't know what magical creatures are mixed in.
The latter, when frightened, acts like a chameleon, hiding itself by changing the color of their fur. ”
Van Gers told the story of what he had seen in the pet market.
At the mention of the wolf cub, there was a noticeable change in her tone and eyes.
After all, werewolves are born with the ability to communicate with wolf creatures.
As long as they are strong enough, werewolves can even become the leader of any wolf pack, commanding other members of the pack to assist them in hunting and fighting.
"Okay, I see, you can go have breakfast first."
Zuo Si waved his hand in disappointment, signaling that the werewolf girl could retreat.
Obviously, the pet market in Port Carlin doesn't meet the minimum requirements he has for a magic pet.
In line with the principle of preferring shortage to abundance, Zuo Sicai would not be like most ordinary mages, just like most ordinary mages, just make do with ordinary animals such as bats, cats, snakes, ravens, etc.
As for the "Item Pet", it obviously overlaps with the "Awakening Creation" of the creator class, and it was abandoned from the beginning.
Realize that you may not be able to find your favorite magical pet for a while.
He quickly picked up one of the spell books and began to concentrate on identifying the spells made up of symbols, columns, annotations, and ciphers, thus discerning the name and function of the magic.
After you have thoroughly identified a spell, you can start learning and memorizing.
The difficulty of learning the arcane between the One Ring has increased several times compared to the Zero Ring, and the number is far more than the number of Zero Ring magic.
Therefore, after Zuo Si completed the identification of the magic of the first ring, he first selected a few commonly used ones.
For example, [Mage Armor] that can last for a long time;
[Shield Technique] that can create a circular shield that is invisible to the naked eye and blocks [Magic Missile];
[Greasy Technique] and [Sleep Technique] necessary for field control;
Makes the caster's next attack almost certain to hit the [Defeat Enemy Aircraft First]......
As for the order of learning spells, Zuo Si has already formed his own unique opinion.
With the Brigade Mage's cards and a plethora of magic items, wands, potions, and scrolls as a safeguard, he doesn't lack the means to attack.
Quite the opposite!
What he lacks are protection and control spells.
In a few moments, the room was filled with the sound of chanting spells and the occasional flash of magical aura.
Due to his concentration of attention, even lunch was brought to the room by the soldier and he paid two bites casually.
This state of indulging in learning lasted until the evening, when Epke and his men came to the door in person, and finally came to an end.
"Lord Soth, we've got everything you want. And tonight, I'm going to talk to the nezumi leader face-to-face, and I hope you'll be prepared in advance. ”
The leader of the Thieves' Guild went straight to the point and made his intentions clear.
"Oh? What do you mean...... If the talks collapse, just launch an attack and kill the other party? Zuo Si's face showed a look of surprise.
He couldn't believe that the bald fat man in front of him was so decisive, and he wanted to use a quick knife to cut through the mess and take the first step to deal with the rat people in the sewer.
Epke grinned and nodded, "Yes!
Based on last night's investigation, I have learned that the leader of the nezumi in the sewers is called Ranny, a devotee of Mara, the god of hunting.
This guy is a madman trying to turn the sewers of Port Carlin into his own territory.
He didn't understand the city at all, and he didn't understand the seemingly chaotic but actually orderly rules of engagement between the guilds. ”
"I see. Then I do have to do some preparation. You know, there are a lot of complicated steps involved in making those pesky rodents into tools that can be used. ”
With that, Zuo Si closed the spell book in his hand, stood up and followed the other party to a secret warehouse used by a thief guild to store stolen goods.
As soon as they walked through the door, everyone heard the squeaky squeak and the grinding of teeth gnawing at something.
Through the faint light of the evening, you can vaguely see several huge iron cages, densely filled with black-haired mice of different sizes.
There are more than 2,000 of them, and just looking at them gives you goosebumps.
Some of the big rats in the cage even brutally bite the little rats to death, and are gnawing on the corpses of their own kind.
Even Epke, who was accustomed to seeing big scenes, couldn't help but shudder when he saw this scene, and cursed in a low voice: "What a damn! There were so many rats coming together that it made me uncomfortable all over my body. ”
"If you don't mind, if you don't mind, can you tell you what's the use of asking for so many rats now?" Magic Advisor Kurang asked curiously.
"Don't worry, you'll find out in a moment."
Zuo Si slowly pulled out the skulls of four humanoids from his satchel, a small piece of liver soaked in a glass container, the phalanges of six humanoids, a handful of black jade used to channel magical energy, two candles that smelled of corpses, and finally a jar of soil from the graves where the dead had been buried......
Seeing these gruesome materials, even those who don't understand magic realize that this must be a magical ritual related to the necromancy.
