Chapter 8: The Dark Department
The next morning, Ace walked out of the town alone, set a simple trap on a nearby hillside, and placed a little food on top of the trap to wait for the prey to take the bait.
This time, Ace prepares to capture a wild vole. Because this rat is extremely greedy and easy to catch, the vegetables and fruits grown by farmers are often stolen by wild voles.
Because of this, farmers hate wild voles very much, so they often carry out large-scale killing. However, this rat is very reproductive, so it often begins to flood again soon after being killed.
After Ace finished laying the trap, he quickly ran to the distance to watch. He hid behind a large tree and watched from afar on the dirt slope.
It didn't take long for the enticing aroma of the bait to attract a fat wild vole, which did not rush to the location of the bait, but left its front feet on the ground, and actually stood up and looked around.
Ace couldn't help but curse a cunning sentence in his heart, it seems that this wild vole is quite vigilant.
After a long time, the wild field mouse still did not let down his guard, and Ace was a little anxious at this time. He couldn't wait to run up and arrest him directly.
At this moment, another wild vole also ran over, and as soon as the two big rats met, they began to bite for food.
Seeing that the opportunity was not to be missed, Ace immediately prepared to rush forward and catch the two greedy wild field mice together. But no one expected that the two wild voles were biting and hugging each other and fell into the trap.
Ace was overjoyed and hurriedly stepped forward to check. saw two foodies, who fell into a deep pit at this time, and were still fighting.
"Hehe, since you took the initiative to send it to the door, then I'm welcome!" Ace immediately took out the cage he had prepared in advance and put the two wild voles in it.
It was only then that the two unlucky little ones realized that something was wrong, but it was too late. Ace carried the cage back under the tree, ready to test the effects of the three magic spells he had just learned.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ace immediately sat up straight and prepared to start the experiment.
He concentrated his mental strength and recited the first sentence to one of the wild field mice. After reciting the incantation, the wild vole froze in place, and after a long time, it began to resume its activities, and left a puddle of pale yellow liquid on the ground, which should have been urine. It was clearly frightened and tried to break out of its cage and escape.
Ace was stunned: "What kind of magic is this?" Can temporarily incapacitate the other person? ”
Ace thought about it and finally named the magic "Intimidation" for the time being, because the wild vole was actually scared to pee.
"I'll give you a break for a moment and let me see the effect of the second magic."
Ace set his eyes on the other wild field mouse, which was constantly clutching at the cage, and his mind was highly focused, and then he recited a second magic spell. As soon as the incantation was finished, the field opossum heard a high-pitched cry and began to scurry around in the cage, and finally lay on the ground, his legs twitching. Soon after, the mouse foamed at the mouth, apparently not alive.
Ace was stunned, how lethal this spell was? He remembered that it was this magic spell that he had used when he faced the strange black wolf. However, the black wolf seemed to have only been traumatized and did not die so quickly.
"It seems that the lethality of this magic should have a lot to do with the strength and size of the enemy. Moreover, there do not seem to be obvious injuries on the surface of the wild vole, so it seems that the internal organs have been affected. For the time being, let's name it Breaking Defense. ”
Ace thought for a moment, then looked at the wild vole again, which had almost recovered. "Little guy, I'm really sorry, for the sake of my magician career, you can sacrifice again!"
With that, Ace focused his mental power on the poor big mouse, and then recited the third incantation.
As soon as the spell ended, I saw a somewhat hideous wound on the back of the wild vole, and even its bones could be seen. The poor creature let out a scream of pain and kept ramming inside the cage.
"What is this? I didn't hurt it with any weapon at all, how did he get an extra wound on his back? But Ace soon realized that the magic he had cast was itself an extremely terrifying weapon.
"Then let's name it Broken for now." After saying that, Ace was ready to open the cage and let go of the barren vole that kept screaming.
At this moment, a familiar voice sounded behind him: "If you let it go like this, it won't survive." Such a scar exposed would soon become infected, and within three days, the poor little creature would die.
Ace was taken aback, and quickly looked back to see that it was Arak, and then he was relieved. He experimented with the three magic spells he had learned today, not wanting anyone to know about them. But judging from the feeling he has gotten along with in the past few days, Ace still trusts Arak a lot.
Arak came to Ace's side, saw the painful wild field mouse in the cage, sighed, and then took out an unknown packet of medicinal powder and sprinkled it on the wound on the north back of the wild field mouse.
When the powder first touched the wound, the wild vole screamed even more miserably, but soon, it quieted down, and seemed to feel much less pain.
Only then did Arak open the cage and let the great rat go.
"Do you know what kind of mage you are?" Arak asked, looking at Ace.
Ace shook his head blankly: "I don't know." All I know is that I can't sense fire, water, light, wind, and earth magic stones. ”
Arak patted the remaining medicinal powder from the injury: "Of course, because you don't belong to these five lines, you belong to the dark system that has been banned from use!" ”
"Dark?" Ace had never read anything about the so-called dark magic in a book.
Arak said, "Yes. It's just that more than ten years ago, dark magic was recognized as evil magic by the Magicians Association, and it was a power from the abyss, so it was completely banned at that time! At that time, many books and accounts of dark magic were destroyed by the Wizards' Guild. ”
Ace casually touched his chest, and his heart suddenly changed. "No wonder there are traces of burning, and my mother must have found a way to save it."
"However, my mother is obviously a holy light magician, so why would she risk keeping a dark codex?" Ace really couldn't figure it out.
But soon, Ace realized another problem and immediately asked, "Since dark magic was banned more than ten years ago, how do you know this?" "It's really a big problem.
You know, Arak is only eleven years old this year, and he has been living in Nanyun City, how did he know so much information about dark magic?
