A hundred miles south of Apanda, a castle stood in the middle of a fertile plain, where cold steel and gray-brown rocks reflected the icy glow in the sun, and bands of wolf-riders patrolled around the castle.

This castle has a strong werewolf architectural style, rugged, atmospheric, surrounded by a six-meter-high boulder wall, the building inside the wall is nearly thirty meters high, from a distance it looks like an inverted fang, each stone is more than three meters high, the spire, square windows, both doors and windows are heavy steel, exuding an icy atmosphere.

"Ruhr, they haven't come back yet!"

At this time, under the outer wall of the castle, a werewolf wearing a gray mage robe looked at the wolf rider warrior in front of him sharply. As soon as he became angry, the fire elemental in the air around him immediately became agitated, showing a strong spiritual power. The Steppenwolf beside the wolf warrior let out a wail of fear.

"Yes, Captain Sika. Ruel and the Bone Tower went to the human village to the east yesterday to announce the order of Lord Bloodfang, and they have not yet returned. The Wolf Rider calmed down the Steppenwolf next to him and looked at Sika Dao respectfully. Sika is a mid-rank apprentice mage, far above the wolfriders.

Sika's eyes were cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Have you figured out what's going on? Ruka definitely won't stay up all night!" Sika is Ruhl's older brother, and he knows Rul's temper very well, and he will definitely not stay up all night without telling himself.

The wolf rider warrior hurriedly replied, "We have searched for the places where Ruel and the Bone Tower may appear, but we have found no trace of them. I only know that they went to a small human village called Apanda Village after the last one, and then they disappeared. ”

"Apanda Village?" Sika's ears twitched, his voice was a little low, and his eyes showed murderous intent.

The wolf rider was chilled by Sika's gaze, and quickly added, "Captain Sika, we have investigated, and Rul and Tagu left the village of Apanda after announcing the order of Lord Bloodfang. The head of this Apanda village has just died, and now the strongest person in the village is only the strength of a mid-level warrior, and it should not be their opponent of Ruhr, and there is no trace of battle in the village. ”

Sika frowned, "Then what's going on?"

The wolf rider hesitated for a moment, and said, "Could it be a demonic beast?" I heard that there was a fire in that forest some time ago, which disturbed the beasts in the forest. ”

"Demonic Beasts?" Sika snorted and sneered, "How strong will the Demonic Beasts in the outer forests of the Iron Ridge Mountains become?" Both Ruer and Bone Tower rode out on Steppenwolf, if they encounter Demonic Beasts, won't the two of them run away? Even if both of them are killed by Demonic Beasts, at least there will be some traces. ”

"This ......" The wolf rider was speechless, so nervous that cold sweat rolled down his forehead.

With a wave of his hand, a dark red fireball flew down on a tree thirty meters away, and the entire tree was immediately ignited by the fire elemental.

Looking at the dazzling firelight, Sika licked his lips and a cruel smile appeared on his face: "You go ahead and search for traces to see if they are in the forest." If I don't find out, I'll go there myself in ten days!"

"Yes, Captain!"

When the wolf rider met Sika's sight, his heart trembled slightly, and he agreed, turned around and rode on the Steppenwolf and left immediately. Sika's cruelty, even in the Castle of Bloodtooth, has always been iron-blooded towards humans, once slaughtering a village of humans by himself, and even eating human babies......

If Ruhr is not found, the consequences for the humans in that village in ten days can be imagined......

......

In the forest, after Lin Fan made a decision, he immediately began to prepare for the contract fire elf.

The mage contract elemental elf is an elemental elf that uses spiritual power to communicate within the range of one's spiritual power.

Because elemental elves like to gather in places with dense elements, low-level mages will generally look for an environment that suits them when they need to contract with elemental elves.

If you need to contract with the water spirits, it is best to go to a place with a water source, and if you need to contract with the fire spirits, go to a drier place...... This increases the chance of encountering elemental sprites.

Of course, after the strength grows to a certain level, the spiritual power can cover the surrounding range of hundreds of meters, or even thousands of meters, so there is no need to do this anymore.

Lin Fan was able to see the elemental elves, but he didn't have any worries about not being able to find the elemental elves, what he was worried about was another problem.

During this time, he discovered that even though they were all fire spirits, they were not the same as each other. The size of an elemental sprite is related to the elements they can control, and the larger they are, the more elements they can control.

The elements that make up the summoning array determine the power of the spell to some extent. Therefore, the size of the elemental elf's ability actually indirectly affects the strength of the mage.

The fire elves that Lin Fan contracted for the first time were more than ten times larger than ordinary fire elves, and they could manipulate more elements. The power of his spells far exceeded that of other mages of the same level!It was for this reason that when she saw him cast a spell flame for the first time, she was so surprised.

Now that he knew the difference between elemental elves, Lin Fan naturally wouldn't casually contract a fire elf. Throughout the afternoon, he spent the afternoon in the forest constantly searching for the right fire spirit.

It's a pity that this time he didn't find any more fire elves the size of a baby's fist, most of them were only the size of a little finger, and the thumb-sized fire elves were rarely found, and the largest of them was only the size of two fingers.

In desperation, Lin Fan had no choice but to settle for the next best thing and contracted this two-finger-sized fire elf.

After the contract was successful, Lin Fan sat down with his back against a tree and observed the fire spirits of the new contract.

Suddenly, the fire elf who had first completed the contract with him flew over and danced happily around the new companion. Lin Fan could clearly feel the other party's joy.

However, the elemental elves of the new contract did not express the enthusiasm of this 'senior' at all, and even feared it.

Lin Fan frowned slightly when he saw this scene.

In fact, during this time, he had already discovered that the fire elves he contracted for the first time were a little different from other elemental elves.

Lin Fan had never seen any emotion on the faces of other elemental elves, they were all poker faces, just like the fire elf he had just contracted, Lin Fan couldn't feel any emotional fluctuations on these other parties.

And in the fire elves that contracted with the wind valley, Lin Fan could feel the other party's emotions all the time - he would be nervous when the summoning array became unstable, he would be happy when the spell was successful, he would be annoyed when he was bored, and even when Lin Fan encountered danger, he would warn him in advance! There were several times when he avoided danger under the prompting of the fire elf. Although it was just some simple emotions, it could give Lin Fan a feeling that she was also a life, not like other elemental spirits, it seemed that it was just an element with wings and a body.

Realizing the difference in this fire element, Lin Fan decided to give the other party a name, so he looked at the fire spirit and said, "Little guy, how about I give you a name?"

The fire elf noticed Lin Fan's gaze, seemed to understand Lin Fan's thoughts, let go of the companion with a shy poker face, flew in front of Lin Fan's eyes, and looked at him with wide eyes.

Lin Fan glanced at the fire elf.

With fiery red wings like flowing flames, her facial features are so delicate that there is no flaw, and her pupils are as dazzling as rubies, if she is not too compact, she is definitely a rare beauty.

After thinking about it, Lin Fan smiled: "Then I'll call you Angel." ”
