……

Both Pegasus and Nightmare are extremely rare high-level mounts.

From the property point of view.

The Golden Pegasus has a rating of LV15, which is quite high for a mount.

Pegasus is shy by nature, and usually rarely appears in the field of vision of humans, let alone in civilized society.

Even in the heavenly realm, they dwell in the deep mountains and lakes far away from the kingdom of God.

Pegasus often fly through the sky in groups, but only a few creatures can observe them, as they have a passive ability.

"Hidden Light: During the day, when Pegasus runs and flies in the sky, it emits a strange halo of light that envelops itself and its rider, and this halo has a good ability to become invisible, and only people with a perception of 20 points or higher are likely to detect anomalies in the sky.

Most of the time, people will only notice a light white line in the sky.

But at night, the Hidden Light is affected by the moonlight, and it turns into an unusually bright star."

Low-key during the day.

Dazzling at night.

This is the characteristic that this ability gives to Pegasus and its owner.

Besides.

Pegasus has a steady gait and strong stability, and it is completely non-bumpy when running or flying.

Golden Pegasus as the best among Pegasus.

It comes with two other features.

……

"Easy to disguise: You only need to pass a basic trick (camouflage) to disguise Pegasus as a mediocre foal.

The golden pegasus also understands the master's tricks.

It will cooperate with you to disguise yourself as a mediocre foal.

Until you need it to shine."

"Fortitude: The Golden Pegasus grants the rider increased temporary toughness while riding, a statistic that greatly reduces the chance of the rider falling off when attacked on horseback.

Note: With this feature, you can do more fancy maneuvers on horseback without falling off the horse."

……

The attributes of the Golden Pegasus are indeed excellent.

The main thing is that it has a good temper, is easy to communicate, has a high degree of cooperation, and has a more diverse riding position.

Can be on the other side.

The panel of the Red Flame Nightmare is not inferior, and even the comprehensive attributes are so much higher than that of Pegasus!

……

Red Flame Nightmare (Infernal Creature/LV16)

Characteristics –

Flame Immunity: The Crimson Nightmare grants the rider immunity to all forms of fire, including magical fire, infernal fire, and even celestial fire.

Lighting: Nightmares emit bright light within a radius of 3 meters, as well as a faint light from a distance of 3 meters.

Capabilities –

Fear Gaze: Nightmares' eyes can release two negative energy gazes, and the living creature that looks at it must accept the determination of the fear effect, and once in a state of fear, the nightmare can bite off the opponent's head and devour its soul.

Aether Jump: Nightmares can enter the Aether Plane from the Material Plane along with up to three willing creatures within 1.5 meters of it, and they can stay in the Aether Plane for up to 10 minutes."

……

In comparison, the Red Flame Nightmare is more suitable as a war horse.

Both combat ability and escape ability are stronger than Pegasus.

Matthew went up for a test ride.

I found that this guy is not restless at all, and he always likes to shake around.

Although it has a saddle on its back to relieve the impact, it will definitely not be able to stand it for a long time, both the waist and the crotch.

Nightmare's personality is more flamboyant.

He rode Matthew to Pegasus, who glared at him in disgust, then looked at Matthew and ran away silently.

In order to prevent Pegasus from misunderstanding.

Matthew ended the test ride decisively.

He actually liked both mounts, so from the beginning, he didn't think about choosing one or the other, but was thinking about how to keep them both by his side.

It's difficult.

Pegasus and Nightmare are absolute mortal enemies.

Their antagonism may be even more serious than the hostility between the Celestial Realm and Purgatory.

Legendary.

The original Nightmare was created by a master of the Nine Hells who captured the King of Pegasus from the Celestial Realm, plucked his wings alive, and infused them with the power of Purgatory and dark magic.

The credibility of this legend is extremely high.

Nightmares are not afraid of the Celestial Fire, as they were once Celestial creatures.

The Pegasus Clan sees the existence of Nightmares as a great shame.

As soon as the two sides meet, it is often Pegasus who shoots first to beat the nightmare, but in terms of comprehensive strength, Pegasus is indeed inferior to the nightmare.

But Pegasus can fly, but Nightmare cannot.

So in the process of chasing, Pegasus can always take advantage.

In time.

Nightmares also hate Pegasus.

The relationship between the two can be described as water and fire.

Matthew knew that it would be unrealistic to convince them to serve the same lord now.

So he thought about it, and came to Pegasus first, touched his head gently, and said:

"Welcome to my woods."

"Mr. Obester, please take our new companion to the woods."

With Matthew's call.

Centaur Obest arrived as soon as possible.

Under Nightmare's hostile gaze, Best looked at the golden Pegasus in surprise for a moment before leading him in the direction of the World Tree.

Golden Pegasus sneezed smugly.

Walked away as a winner.

The Red Flame Dream Demon stomped his feet in displeasure, he lowered his proud head, and was about to leave silently.

Suddenly.

Matthew walked over and patted his ass gently:

"I have a cemetery, don't you want to visit it?"

"Maybe you'll meet a lot of new people."

said.

He led the Nightmare to the entrance to the cemetery, and shouted at his head:

"Mr. Agus, there's a new fellow, please take care of him for me."

Although Argus had just joined the cemetery.

But he showed a lot of ownership.

As soon as Matthew shouted, his figure appeared at the entrance of the cave, and he greeted the nightmare enthusiastically, trying to hug the nightmare's head, but the nightmare shook away.

Agus was unimpressed:

"Let's go, I'll show you around the cemetery."

"Mainly dungeons and craft workshops, you will definitely be satisfied!"

"Of course, there are also negative energy fountains, although you are a purgatory creature, who doesn't love negative energy fountains?"

The Nightmare followed him suspiciously.

Soon.

There was the sound of chickens flying and dogs jumping in the dungeon.

And at the same time.

In the direction of the World Tree, the excited cheers of Pegasus were also heard.

Matthew smiled at this.

The plan is paying off.

Golden Pegasus and Red Flame Nightmare, he loves both.

So he doesn't plan to sign either.

No way.

There is only one place for a Mount Contract bound by a spell.

Sign one, and the other one will definitely turn around and leave.

It's better not to disclose the relationship like this.

So that both can be hung.

Anyway, Pegasus has a woods, and Nightmare has a cemetery, so they can be regarded as arranging a place to live.

As long as the relationship can be maintained.

Could it be that when Matthew wants to ride them, they won't let them ride?

Impossible.

Of course.

There is also a hidden danger to this state.

That is, both Pegasus and Nightmare were temporarily summoned to the continent of Aiindor as otherworldly creatures.

It's been a long time.

They will be repelled by the laws of the plane.

"Otherworldly creatures can stay in the main material realm for a maximum of one month without being expelled."

"Within a month, I can transform them into native creatures using other rituals, as long as I give them an identity."

"Guardian of the Sanctuary of Life" or "Minions of the Cemetery" are good titles."

Matthew thought so.

Right now.

The little white cat, who had watched the play on the roof for a long time, finally couldn't help jumping down.

She came to Matthew.

Very seriously asked:

"Are you recruiting mounts?"

Matthew nodded:

"yes, what's wrong?"

He had noticed her a long time ago.

The little white cat has been wandering in the woods for the past few days.

And the first moment she enters the woods, the dutiful Mr. Centaur reports the matter to Matthew.

Considering that the Blight Order in the south had been wiped out, Matthew didn't care about the movements of one of her peripheral members.

He thought that the other party would stay in hiding.

I didn't expect to take the initiative to appear in front of me.

"My name is Qiuka, you can call me Qiu."

The little white cat came to Matthew a little nervously, and she turned into a human girl, dressed plainly and with a clean face.

A pair of big eyes, very cute.

"I'm a spy sent by the Blight Order to approach Eli."

Matthew still nodded:

"And then?"

Akika's eyes widened:

"Don't you mind at all?"

Matthew shook his head and said:

"What do I mind with a bunch of dead people?"

Qiuka shuddered, and then looked at Matthew incredulously:

"You killed them all?"

Matthew didn't answer her directly.

Qiuka whispered:

"I was going to carry out the mission that Quinna had given me, and she brought me close to Eli and took the opportunity to corrupt him.

Eli is a good guy and I don't want to do that.

Originally, I was going to drag it out, but who knew that day, when I went back to check on the situation, I found that all the people in the Order were dead.

Only Kunna is nowhere to be found.

I don't know where she went, but I could sense that the magical chains she had left on me were broken, and I felt like I had regained my freedom, so I told Eli the truth.

After listening to what I had to say, he seemed to be disappointed.

Soon he drove me away, but I didn't know where to go, so I had to wander around here. ”

"I've heard of you from Eli, and I know that Quinna is actually coming for your oak grove, can you take me in?"

Matthew asked noncommittally:

"What did you do before joining the Blight Order?"

Tyuka replied:

"I'm an orphan with the ability to change a little since I was a child, and when I first became conscious, it was a group of night elves who adopted me.

They thought I was a natural druid, but they soon discovered that my changes weren't just for animals.

I can become anyone I've ever seen.

After discovering this.

The Night Elves' attitude towards me changed dramatically, and they called me the Changeling One and drove me out of the Eversong Forest.

Since then I have been wandering around.

After some time, I met a noble young master.

At first, he was very kind to me, gave me food and clothing, and took me to the city to see the excitement.

But it didn't take long for him to reveal his ambitions.

It turns out that he has secretly discovered my abilities a long time ago, and the reason why he coaxed me through rhetoric is because he wants me to become like his brother and then assassinate his father.

I certainly disagree.

So he locked me up and whipped me every day.

One night later.

The castle where the noble young master lived became chaotic, and order in the dungeon was affected.

I sneaked out, and then I ran into Quinna.

I found out afterwards.

That night, the noble young master's brother invited Kunna, who asked her to disguise herself as the noble young master and openly killed their father.

It was because of this incident that the castle became chaotic and I was able to get out.

I am grateful to Quinna.

Kunna told me that the human world was too complicated for me.

She told me that the Blight Order was home to those of us who had lost it, and that people like me were the partners they needed most.

She was very kind to me at first, like a noble young master.

She gave me a lot to eat and taught me how to hunt animals in the forest.

Although there were times when I thought Quinna's methods were too aggressive, at the time I thought it was just part of the law of the jungle.

Until later.

Quinna says she wants to help me get better, and she asks me to meet a mysterious man.

I agreed.

It turned out to be in that unfathomable cavern.

I've had a ...... A terrible existence.

He is the embodiment of the gods walking on earth.

He flogged me with magic and left a mark on my body.

He told me that was the step to become a believer in Him.

Half a day later.

I left the cave in a daze.

I realized that I had become a believer in the evil queen.

During this time, Quinna took the opportunity to appear and placed a kind of magical chain on me.

She told me that if I didn't listen to her, she would send me to the cave again to face the terrible being we call His Mother.

I didn't dare to resist her.

After that, I used my shapeshifting abilities to do some stealing things for her.

During this time, I was very anxious and miserable.

But I don't know how to escape their clutches.

Until the other day.

I found that the camp had been destroyed, the magical chains on my body were gone, and even the mark of the Queen of Evil had become very dim.

I thought it might be an escape.

But I don't know where to go.

Then I thought of Eli, I thought of you.

Quinna wants to harm you in every possible way.

You must be a decent person, right?

It was so easy to sweep away the Blight Order.

Your strength must also be very strong.

So.

I want to be your person. ”

These words are estimated to have been held back in Qiuka's heart for a long time.

She was extremely fluent in explaining the ins and outs of the matter.

Matthew drops a Detection Lie and a Detection Evil as she speaks, confirming that she is not lying.

In addition, he also found a mark of believer from the evil queen Babasha, but the degree of faith is very light, and it generally matches her caliber.

This mark of believers is actually very cheap.

Babasha hardly pays attention to the believers who hold these marks.

In his eyes, the marks of hatred on Matthew's body are probably much brighter than those on Chuka.

"If you're worried about the Queen's Follower mark, I can ask a warrior monk to exorcise it for you, it's not a very difficult thing to do."

Matthew replied.

Qiuka was a little anxious:

"No, it's not like that, I just want to stay here, like Eli."

"Didn't you just admit that you were recruiting mounts? I'm very good at changing, I can turn into all kinds of animals for you to ride! ”

"If you don't believe me, I'll show you, by the way, I've seen the Night Elf's mount, it's very majestic, do you want to try it?"

Between words.

She threw herself on the ground, on all fours.

Her skin began to glow with white fluff, and a strange magical glow flashed through Chuka's body.

In an instant.

She became a very beautiful white tiger!

"Is this the mount of the Night Elves?"

Matthew was slightly shocked by the beauty of the white tiger.

"Come on, come on, try it."

She anxiously walked over to Matthew and rubbed her head against his shoulder.

Matthew just wanted to explain that he wasn't looking for such a mount.

But in the afterglow.

Suddenly, he saw Eli walking in his direction.

So he immediately said:

"Don't talk yet."

"Hey, Matthew! What a beautiful tiger, is this your new mount? ”

Eli looked at the big white tiger beside Matthew with interest.

He seemed interested in her.

Matthew coughed lightly:

"It's really beautiful."

Eli agreed:

"Yes, but not as pretty as the Elder Tiger I transformed—you should agree with me, right?"

Matthew didn't squeak.

He cleverly changed the subject:

"Judging by your expression, there should be something urgent?"

Eli nodded:

"I'm here to say goodbye to you. The Great Elder hurriedly summoned me back, saying that there was a big basket on the side of the Earth Society, and even the headquarters of the Druid Order had been breached, and this happened only a few days after I left, which was really worrying! ”

"I have to go back as soon as possible, I'm worried about the safety of the Great Elder, and the Earth Society also needs more masters to stabilize people's hearts."

Matthew thought for a moment.

He simply told Eli about Jeff and the Holy Oak Seed.

He had no intention of hiding it from Eli.

But after all that is said.

Matthew cautioned:

"As for whether or not to report this matter to the Earth Society, it's up to you to decide.

I just don't want to cause misunderstanding between us.

I can assure you that the attack on the Druid Order has nothing to do with me.

You know, I was in Rolling Rock when it happened. ”

Eli nodded.

He said with a solemn face:

"We can't be sure where the trader got the seeds from at the moment, the situation in Overwatch Heights is chaotic, and it is said that there are many unscrupulous traders who claim to be selling the seeds of the Holy Oak, but they are all fake."

"Why don't I show you this?"

Matthew took out the pouch and generously handed it to Eli.

Eli untied the rope, and before he could see it, his nose snorted twice, and he immediately concluded:

"It's true!"

"Well, Matthew, it's better for you to hide this bag of seeds first, once it is discovered by the people of the Earth Society, even if I explain it for you, it may not be clear.

Those druids are real antiques, and they firmly believe that the world in their eyes is the real world.

I hate a lot of them.

But on the whole, the Earth Association is still good.

I'll wait until I get back and figure out the details. ”

said.

He returned the bag to Matthew, and admonished:

"The seeds of the holy oak tree can't just be stored like this, this bag is too amateurish.

You'll have to find a bark pocket that is hand-woven from virgin pieces.

After that, you put the seed in it and hang it in the Sanctuary of Life, which preserves the vitality of the Sacred Oak Seed and further promotes the power nourishment of the Sanctuary of Life. ”

Matthew nodded.

That's all that is said and done.

Eli gave him a goodbye hug, then turned into a horse and ran north.

"So, Eli, is he your mount too?"

Seeing that the other party was far away, the white tiger squeaked obediently.

Matthew shook his head:

"He's my friend. If you really want to stay, I'm not against it, just don't do anything stupid, my oak grove and I are more than welcome to join you. ”

The Changelings seem to be a very powerful bloodline, and Matthew is not sure yet, so he has to take the time to look up the information

White Tiger happily said:

"And now I'm yours?"

Without waiting for Matthew to answer.

She said excitedly:

"Is it possible that I can find you for three meals a day in the future?"

"There was milk, there were biscuits, there was sausage, and there was mushroom fried rice made by Ms. Peggy...... That's what Eli told me! When will I be able to enjoy it? ”

"I've been hungry for days!"

Between words.

There was a gurgling sound in her stomach.

Matthew was stunned and said:

"That's why you want to be my person?"

The white tiger asked suspiciously:

"Or else?"

Matthew touched the right half of his face:

"Peggy is in the kitchen of the cemetery, you can find her yourself!"

The white tiger jumped down happily.

It didn't take long.

Paige cheered from below.

Matthew glanced down.

It is discovered that both the Red Flame Nightmare and the White Tiger Qiuka are circling around Peggy.

The minotaur skeleton looked at Matthew excitedly:

"I heard you got me two mounts?"

"Then can I ride on wheels in the future?"

"Don't look sad Matthew, you know I'm very generous, I'll ride one head, and I'll lend you the rest for free!"

……

The next afternoon.

Matthew walked out of the morgue of the police station after a long absence, his expression a little solemn.

"How?"

Brad asked.

"It's rare that there is no soul answering my call."

Matthew replied truthfully:

"There's no remnant of spirituality on this corpse, and I can't even summon him as an undead: zombies, skeletons, ghosts, you can't."

"This means that the elements of the deceased have been completely removed by some force - where did you find the body?"

This morning, Brad approached Matthew and asked him to help examine a body.

Although Matthew has resigned from the police office, he has been empty recently, so he agreed.

It was just a little surprising to him.

This corpse is very special, there is no spirituality, not to mention, any valid information is stripped away.

He had no facial features on his face, no lines on his hands and feet, and Matthew could hardly find any valid information other than to distinguish that it was a male corpse.

This surprised him.

It's been a long time since there has been such a bizarre death in Rolling Stone.

Brad replied with a sad face:

"It was found by a farmer in the lower reaches of the Old Woman's River, who was swimming in the river with his family and children, when the body floated upstream."

"My men went upstream to check and found nothing."

Floated in the river?

Matthew said in his heart that this was too abnormal, except for a little water stains on the surface, there was no sign of swelling on the body.

I don't want to be soaked in water for a long time.

But if he wasn't soaked, how did he float?

It's a case that can't even be explained by magic.

Because Matthew didn't check any traces of spells on him.

He chatted with Brad.

No matter how much they talked, they couldn't figure it out, and after a while, Matthew was ready to leave.

Right now.

There was a rare face in the police station.

"Mr. Richard?"

Brad greeted him with some surprise.

"I heard you have a strange corpse here?"

"Can you show me?"

Richard was on his cane, his waist straight.

He nodded at Matthew with a serious face.

Brad hurriedly led him into the morgue.

Twenty minutes passed.

The two of them came out of the morgue.

Matthew greeted him:

"Did you find anything?"

After all, the other party is a legendary wanderer, and he may be more professional than himself in terms of autopsy.

Richard muttered:

"It's hard to say, but it's a bit of a clue."

"I'm afraid you'll have to say hello to Rhaegar and the Council of Five, and I'm leaving Rolling Rock to confirm something in the meantime."

"Hopefully it won't be what I thought it would be."

Say these riddles.

He strode out of the gate of the police station, the delicate cane in his hand, and he couldn't even care about his usual graceful walking posture.

Matthew looked at Richard's departing back, a little worried.

At the commission of Bled.

Matthew put away the bizarre corpse in a high-class body bag.

Three days later.

The magic classroom of the Crucible House.

Matthew, who was gradually recovering, contacted Margaret, and the two of them entered into the content of the practical lesson.

"To be honest, the timing of your contact with me was a bit less than ideal."

"I don't seem to have a special place for you to practice lately, let me see it......"

Margaret was dressed extremely coolly today.

A crop top and a white skirt were added, and the color of the glasses frame was changed to cream blue.

At this moment, she was staring at a crystal ball:

"Purgatory? It's a little too dangerous. ”

"Between purgatory? How did the truce happen there recently? Didn't the damn Blood Banner Kingdom and the Blue tribe say that they would fight to the death? ”

"Shallow abyss? It's not challenging, the demons are all a bunch of reckless men who rely on their physical fitness to crush their enemies, and they are only suitable for warm-up exercises. ”

"Dark Regions? Forget it, the Dark Ancient God has been a bit active recently, and the Evil Queen is not restless, as well as Gaylan and the Midnight Elf, tsk, none of them are good things, it seems that it is also a wise decision for the Scourge Mage to keep the dark area, there must always be a place for the evil god to use as a dustbin......"

She seems to be looking for a place for a hands-on class on the fly.

This made Matthew inevitably worry about the quality of the course.

But at this time.

An unstable space-time rift appeared in front of him!

Didn't wait for something to come out of the crack.

Matthew picks up the mace and goes down!

Poof.

The space-time rift is gone.

Margaret glanced at it, and Matthew immediately put the mace behind him and smiled mildly and harmlessly.

She didn't care, and continued to look at the crystal ball.

But it didn't take long to stop.

Another rift in space-time appeared.

Matthew didn't say a word, and it was another hammer past.

The crack disappeared again.

Margaret couldn't help but ask:

"Who's looking for you?"

Matthew smiled bitterly:

"I don't know, I tried to summon a mount a few days ago, but in the last few days, there have always been otherworldly creatures of unknown origin who have taken the initiative to come to the door."

"It's not very frequent, but it's troublesome, and I'm thinking about buying a talisman that hides its coordinates, but the one in the Alliance Mall is too expensive."

In contrast, after a successful attempt to attack a creature that hadn't yet been drilled out of the crack with a mace, Matthew fell in love with using the weapon to solve the problem.

Margaret was surprised:

"Did you summon with your real name?"

Matthew nodded innocently.

Margaret exclaimed:

"Who is summoned by his real name? It must be anonymous. ”

Matthew frowned and said:

"I bought a lot of knowledge guides for summoning mounts, and none of them mentioned that they had to be summoned anonymously."

Margaret said silently:

"Because it's common sense."

Matthew scratched his head helplessly.

This is the sorrow of the birth of a wild mage.

Although he has tried his best to make up for the lessons, there are always things that others think are common sense, and he is completely unaware of them.

"Real-name summoning will leave a gap in time and space in the astral plane, and these creatures may follow that gap to find you."

"There is a delay in summoning rituals, they may be mistaken for the fact that you are still recruiting mounts, and of course, some of them may also be disguised by the evil gods, so you must be careful with them."

Margaret reminded.

Matthew waved his mace:

"Is there any other way to solve my harassment problem?"

Margaret said:

"If you still have the money, you can go to Master Roderick, he is a master of prophecy and can easily solve the problem of space-time gap for you."

"But I guess you've just returned from my mentor, and you're probably penniless."

Matthew touched his nose to acquiesce.

"Then let's practice the mace skills as part of the practical lesson."

Margaret encouraged.

She didn't seem surprised in the slightest that Matthew would make such a xenomorph weapon.

The two chatted.

Another space-time rift has formed.

Matthew raised his hand a little slower this time, and the shadow of a little guy came out of the crack, and shouted as he drilled it:

"The master of the host! My bone pigeon! ”

"Bone pigeon, bone pigeon!"

"The master is about to be beaten to death!"

"If you go later, I can change my master!"

"Why don't you be my new master?"

The voice fell.

Matthew hurriedly removed the mace.

He glanced at the data bar, and the information was long overdue.

……

"Warning: The Undead King "Pharaoh of Darkness" has joined forces with the "Twilight Bone Dragon" to launch a siege on your summon Philorius!

The Dark Pharaoh used the Mortal Vial to shield the undead pact between you.

Your summon, Philorius, is dying!"

……

Matthew suddenly stood up from his position.

He carried the mace and asked Margaret very politely:

"Can I suggest a location for the hands-on class?"

"What about the negative energy plane?"

Margaret looked at the bone pigeon, then pushed her glasses:

"Yes."

"By the way, does this pigeon sell?"

……
