"Little Fantasy, rip off that shell."

Looking at the giant wooden mallet, Li Changan said to Xiao Huan.

"Meow~~"

As the little guy's paws pulled layer by layer, he removed the pieces of wood wrapped in spiritual silk threads with some difficulty, revealing the wooden spirit doll stuck in the middle.

But.

At this moment, the wood spirit doll has lost its previous appearance, and only a gear the size of two fingers remains.

Li Changan grabbed it in his hand and shook it slightly.

"The book says that the core of the spirit beast of the wood spirit doll is the gear on their chest, which is not only their spirit core, but also their body."

Looking at this gray dim gear, Li Changan rubbed it lightly against his chin.

"Is 'Clockwork Heart' a skill?"

Li Changan has some understanding of the "indomitable heart".

But I don't know much about "Clockwork Heart".

It may sound like a skill similar to "Indomitable Heart", but whether the specific effect and effect is still up for debate.

"Go back and flip through the illustrated book again, it's best to ask Fei Chengqing to send me a copy of the illustrated book from the headquarters."

After so many incidents, Li Changan felt more and more that whether it was the Donghong Kingdom, the Imperial Soul Master Association, the Tranquility Society, and the Pale Painted Scroll, these organizations were deliberately concealing and covering up some things.

And the way to cover it up is very simple and crude.

It is to start from the most basic, from the knowledge of spirit animals.

It's easy to slip the gear into your pocket.

It's just that when he thinks of the spirit beast around him now, Li Changan has a headache but doesn't know what to do for the time being.

Xiao Phantom and Kui Dou, a three-tailed civet cat with an ink shadow, and an unyielding dryad, these are both spirit beasts that he has concluded a contract, not to mention for the time being.

But in addition to them, Li Changan also carried a psychic mouse.

Now there's a Wood Spirit Doll.

Four spirit beasts.

This made him, an ordinary person who had just become a second-order spirit master, how could he afford it?

The only thing that is more fortunate is that.

It's probably because Xiaodouding is sleeping most of the time now, and even his daily eating can't be stable.

But the figure has no intention of slimming down, but is becoming more and more rounded.

And the wood spirit doll has also changed into the shape of the gear now, I don't know what to do, or how long it will take to wake up.

"It's really not good, just keep the wood spirit doll in the mimicry area of the Tranquility Society, it's safe there, and there is not much pressure to survive, which is more suitable for its character."

Xiao Douding didn't say anything, he promised it.

And it did help itself find some valuable spiritual materials.

In Lao Cao's incident, the most critical reminder was given.

But the wood spirit doll Li Changan does not have much to do with it, and the mimic area may be its best destination.

"Let's go, it's time to go back."

After making a decision in his heart, Li Changan said to Xiao Huan.

saw the little guy sitting on the ground with his buttocks, holding his stomach, grinning and showing a "painful" appearance.

Seeing this, Li Changan was stunned.

He immediately smiled.

How can you not understand its thoughts?

When Li Changan returned to Fuyang Town.

The blue moon has been restrained, and the dawn of the dawn covers the entire town.

The town, which used to be quiet at night, has become lively with the arrival of daytime.

On the streets, the cries of hawking are endless.

"Come on, come on, delicious cakes!"

"Let's have a cup of soy milk, drink a glass of soy milk in the morning, and refresh all day."

"The fresh pheasants just caught today are only eighty, eighty-one!"

"Peas, fresh peas—"

“.”

Itinerant street vendors selling vegetables, fruits, breakfast, and cooked food shouted loudly to greet passers-by in a hurry.

Walking on this bustling street, it seems that the fatigue of not sleeping all night and the fatigue after the battle have dissipated a lot.

It's a sight you won't find in Yang, but it's also full of the reassuring atmosphere of a small town.

Here, it is rare to see some spirit masters with spirit beasts, most of them are just ordinary people, living an ordinary but fulfilling and reassuring life.

Li Changan found a shop called "Ali Breakfast" and walked in.

"Boss, two bowls of soy milk, one bowl of salty, one bowl of sweet, and two drawers of small cages, three fritters, and two baked cakes."

"Okay, wait a minute."

Extremely skillfully ordered his and Xiao Fan's breakfast, and found the person he was looking for in a crowded shop.

A young man of about twenty-five or sixteen years of age who looked like Sven Gentle, wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and had a watermelon head.

Sit alone at a table.

At first glance, he looked stupid, but if he looked closely, he seemed to be a very shrewd person, Li Changan, secretly complained in his heart about the words Fei Chengqing used when he introduced him to the "expert".

It should be him, yes.

"Li Chang'an."

Sitting opposite the man, Li Changan took the initiative to report his name.

Hearing this, he lowered his head, and some absent-mindedly eating steamed buns slowly raised his head, looked at Li Changan, and showed a somewhat shy smile.

"Changkai."

Chang Kai is a member of the 13th Squad of the Supervision Department of the Tranquility Society.

"I'm sorry for you, I'll make a special trip." Li Changan said a little tactfully.

Chang Kai shook his head, his smile shy.

"Where the duty lies."

"So, is there a conclusion?"

Directly to the topic, Li Changan and Xiao Fan both put down the buns in their hands and put on a serious look.

They were all curious about what had happened in the abandoned train station last night.

And when it comes to the main topic, Chang Kai seems to be a different person.

He was no longer shy, but his eyes were burning, and he looked very interested.

"First of all, it's not haunted, that's the first option I ruled out." He pushed his glasses and said with the utmost certainty.

"Why?"

"Meow?"

"Because." Chang Kai looked to his side.

"Porphyrin!"

I saw that in the originally empty place next to Chang Kai, a spirit beast in the shape of a doll and doll suddenly appeared.

The body is colorful, as if it is pieced together by rags, and there are bright white silver needles on the body.

"Meow! (Ghost!) -woo-woo-)

Xiao Phantom was a spirit, and almost jumped.

Fortunately, Li Changan quickly covered his mouth and did not attract unnecessary attention.

Chang Kai smiled, didn't care, and continued:

"Because my cursed doll doesn't feel any ghostly aura."

Cursed dolls?

Li Changan glanced at the petite spirit beast with the appearance of a doll.

Is this what my mother-in-law once said, ghosts, ghosts, spirit animals?

This kind of spirit beast also belongs to the spirit beast that should not appear in textbooks, as well as some common spirit beast books.

"Huh?"

Xiao Phantom, who was covered by Li Changan's mouth, blinked.

It doesn't seem to be as scary as it seems.

As if reading its eyes, the cursed doll beside Chang Kai showed a strange smile.

The next second.

Click-

It actually screwed its head off with a single force.

Even a large amount of black cotton wool was pulled out of its doll-like body.

"Woooooo Woowoo!! ”

Xiao Phantom's eyes widened.

"Don't be surprised."

Li Changan knocked on the little guy's head, and he didn't have a good air.

"Porphyrin Phyrin—"

Seeing this, the cursed doll immediately burst out laughing.

"Don't make a fuss."

Chang Kai put away the cursed doll in a bit of a panic, and then returned to his previous shy appearance, holding his glasses with one hand, and stumbling apologetically: "Hug, sorry." ”

Li Changan waved his hand again and again.

"It's okay, the little guy is more naughty, understand. My little guy is naughty too. ”

Hearing this, Changkai's glasses were slightly bright.

"You, aren't you afraid?"

"Of course. They are all spirit beasts, what is there to be afraid of? ”

Li Changan wiped the cold sweat from his palms without a trace, and said with a smile on his face.

The little phantom fox who came back to his senses gave him a suspicious look.

Aren't you afraid?

"You go ahead."

Li Changan turned Xiao Phantom's head back and said to Chang Kai.

"Good!"

Chang Kai glanced at Li Changan again, as if he was not afraid of cursing dolls, and had a little closeness and affection for him.

He usually doesn't have to be looked at with strange eyes because of the particularity of his spirit beast.

created his shy character.

After sorting out his thoughts and wording a little, Chang Kai continued:

"First of all, I ruled out the problem of ghosts. Then I went to the abandoned railway station that I was talking about, but I saw the scaffolding shelves in it, but I didn't see the stone pillars and gates you mentioned. ”

"No?"

Li Changan was stunned.

"Nope."

Chang Kai said with great certainty.

"However, based on your description of the hideous-looking insect spirit beast on the iron gate, it makes me think of a possibility."

Li Changan didn't speak, just listened silently, very carefully.

"Before the establishment of the Tohiro Kingdom, in the Third Age that was filled with mist. In the city inhabited by humans, a very hideous, very violent and ferocious spirit beast suddenly appeared, with shark-like teeth, covered in heavy and spiky armor, feeding on fear and flesh and blood. Their desires devour everything they see."

How does this sound like some kind of wild history written in a very exaggerated way, or rather. Li Changan couldn't help but slander in his heart.

"This is something I've seen in some of the documents that describe creatures that are very similar to the carvings you see. However, in fact, there are some spirit beasts that are similar to it, such as the 'fear' attribute of the horror beast, and then for example."

"The Third Age."

Li Changan rubbed his fingers.

At that time, the patterns carved on the doors and pillars were similar to those on the teacher's family tree.

Could it be that the teacher's family has been handed down from the ancient Third Age?

It's too long ago.

You must know that even with the development of technology and the spirit master system to the present, human beings do not have a deep understanding of the history before the Fourth Age.

It is just that in the distant Fourth Age, before the formation of the current Donghong Kingdom, the Xiheng Kingdom and the Beiheng Kingdom, there were two relatively powerful countries.

One is called the Ancient Dynasty, which is the predecessor of the Donghong Kingdom, so the capital is located in Molong City.

The other is the Daheng Dynasty, which is the predecessor of the two kingdoms of Xiheng and Beiheng.

As for why the two great dynasties at the time evolved into the current situation, the history books do not reveal much.

In the history textbooks of universities like Yangcheng University, there is only the knowledge of the Donghong Kingdom, Xiheng, and Beiheng Kingdoms.

Li Changan was curious and wanted to try to understand, but the final result made him not very satisfied.

I only know that what led to this situation was because of a battle.

The campaign called "Battle for Promotion".

Even the history of the Fourth Age is so vague, let alone the more distant Third Age.

Of course, this may also be because Li Changan's identity was not enough at that time and he was not qualified to know about these.

Like Chang Kai, the third-order spirit master who was the monitoring team, he had read historical documents that Li Changan had never seen before, and even those involving the Third Age.

Just like some of the spirit beast information, these hidden histories have also been covered up by those powerful forces.

In the name of it: for stability.

However, if the teacher's family is really a family that has existed since the Third Age.

To be able to pass down the family tree to this day, what a terrifying and powerful family it once was?

"Far from it."

Chang Kai suddenly interrupted his own narration and smiled a little embarrassedly, he was easy to go off-topic.

"Other than that door, based on your experience and encounters, I think there are two possibilities."

There was a pause.

"One is dreams. This can be done, if there is a spirit beast with 'illusory' attributes and not weak strength, it can be done. But only if it goes through the events of that night. ”

"The other is the overlap in the timeline. It's just that the spirit beast of the 'time' attribute only exists in legends, and the illusory shadow of the girl you met in Yangcheng can't be explained. ”

Unreal, time. Li Changan silently repeated.

The maximum probability, is it an 'illusory' attribute spirit beast?

For spirit beasts of this attribute, Li Changan didn't know much.

So.

What message does the "Red Pupil" want to convey?

Ignoring Li Changan's contemplation, Chang Kai pushed his eyes, and said with a little excitement and even a little excitement:

"I'm going to go in again tonight, when you entered the abandoned train station yesterday, and maybe you can get something."

looked at Chang Kai, who was not frightened by things at all, but looked full of desire and curiosity.

How did Li Changan think that the spirit beast with the "knowledge" attribute was more suitable for him?
