Compared with Baal's previous arrogant arrival, his quiet and silent departure is even more regrettable.
The look in old man Merlin's eyes when he looked at Jobtran became even stranger.
It turned out that I was not the first one to bet on this man. Before me, there were already powerful people who had been silently caring for him.
If Merlin didn't know that this seemingly sunny boy only had about three years left to live, he would even think that he was the one who would break the calamity.
It’s a pity that the catastrophe will not come so soon.
The legendary wolf Fenrir will awaken from the abyss and engulf the earth, which is a prophecy in Norse mythology.
But until now, no one has ever seen the true appearance of that demon wolf.
Although legends are just legends, no one has ever doubted the authenticity of this story about the twilight of the gods.
That’s because Odin, Thor, Loki and other Norse gods really exist, they are just sleeping at this time.
They were sleeping above the fairy palace, on top of the dense clouds.
If you jump in from the Eye of Hell, you can see the shadow of the fairy palace before your body is burned to ashes.
With Baal's departure, the long-lasting alarm and the oppressive feeling of the people also stopped.
Arnold slowly walked back from not far away and looked at Merlin with a strange expression.
"What is Baal doing here?"
Merlin pursed his lips at Jobtron.
"Look for him."
Arnold scratched his head but couldn't figure out why Baal, the devil king, would come looking for his insignificant disciple.
"Could it be that this kid has some unspeakable secret that he is hiding from me
I remember he was a purebred human, right
Could it be that Baal has a distant relative of a human being, and Jobtron is the last descendant of that distant relative?"
If Joe Butron knew what Arnold was thinking at this moment, he would definitely roll his eyes to the sky and say contemptuously,
"Pooh!"
With the end of this farce, a joyous bonfire party began in the magic cave.
All kinds of strange dishes were brought to the table by the succubus lady who was acting as a waitress. Jobtran watched closely to avoid being aroused by lust.
The table was filled with local delicacies of various ethnic groups, but the goblins, who ate everything, were the only ones truly enjoying these strange foods at this moment.
The mushroom stew cooked by the dwarf chef is covered with a layer of green oil; the lava stone kebabs of the demon clan look tempting, but in fact they may be the flesh and blood of sinners; the dwarf's iron plate fried wild vegetables seem to be fine, but the iron plate used for cooking looks like a steel plate removed from a goblin mecha.
Only the fruit wine brewed by angels with holy water is truly delicious, but unfortunately the alcohol content is very high and you can only taste it in small amounts.
If you drink too much, the headache when you wake up the next day will make you regret your stupidity, like a cow drinking water.
Other rare and exotic creatures also provided a lot of food and performed some unique stunts.
Of course, under the influence of alcohol, the bonfire party soon turned into a noisy scene of laughter and ooohs.
Heehee is naturally the joy that comes with drinking, but ouch ouch ouch...
That is the noise caused by drunkards who dislike each other and start fighting.
Let go of your prejudices. Apart from the differences in appearance and culture, we are truly a family in the devil's den.
Merlin, Arnold and Jobtran left the banquet in the middle of it and started their journey back.
On the way back, the three of them tacitly agreed not to discuss these things. Instead, Joe Butran looked at the row of truant marks on his ID card and felt a little nervous.
Baal is not scary? On the contrary, women are what make Job Tran's scalp tingle.
Thinking of having to face the bombardment of two women, Selina and Sif, at the same time? Jobtran could not help but hold his forehead helplessly.
Glancing at Arnold in front of him from the corner of his eye, Jobtran suddenly made up his mind, stepped forward and patted Arnold's shoulder meaningfully? He looked at his mentor affectionately and said
"Teacher? Thank you for your hard work."
Arnold looked back and thought to himself that this child was indeed a good one and knew how to be grateful.
He had no idea that he would soon have to carry a huge black pot made by the dwarf master using rare treasures for his beloved apprentice.
Arnold patted Joe Butran on the shoulder and said calmly,
"Good boy? Go back and study hard."
Merlin didn't even turn his head, but he could tell from the slight movement of his shoulders that he was chuckling.
Joet Brown's treacherous mind? Naturally, it was seen through by Merlin, the cunning old man.
Is this also the reason why Merlin has been silent? To avoid causing himself unnecessary trouble.
"Ahem, I still have something to do. I'll go back first. You guys can chat for a while."
Merlin said this and flew away at an accelerated speed.
Looking at Merlin's receding figure, Arnold couldn't help but mutter to himself,
"As expected of the principal, you come and go in a hurry."
Joet Brown chuckled, thinking that the old man had completely cleared himself of the blame.
——
After returning to the area of the campus where the mysterious knowledge was studied, Jobtran and Arnold stood firmly on the ground, but they received strange looks from people behind them.
"Look, the king of skipping classes has appeared."
"Ah? The skipping king is quite handsome. What a pity."
"I heard that if he skips class again, he will be fired by Professor Serena."
Such rumors reached the ears of the two men, but Joet Brown was one step ahead and shouted immediately,
"Ah, I'm finally back from doing something with Director Arnold!"
"Oh? So you didn't skip class, you went to do something."
"It seems we have all wronged him."
"Yes, yes, but Teacher Selina doesn't seem to know much about their outing. Could it be some special mission?"
"Ah? What special mission do we have?"
"Tsk, I can tell from the looks of it that you're not someone who often pays attention to the task board.
As long as it is a five-star mission or above, all whereabouts and information will be kept confidential after departure."
"Hiss, five stars and above. What was the last mission that was above five stars?"
"Destroy the lair of the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog and bring back the living Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog cubs..."
“Hiss, hiss, hiss…”
As everyone discussed this, they began to describe Joet Brown as an omnipotent and powerful hero.
His image unconsciously became more majestic in the eyes of students.
Most of the high-star tasks on the task board are difficult problems that have accumulated over a long period of time and are difficult to solve easily.
Just like the five-star mission mentioned by the student earlier, the mission of destroying the lair of the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog and bringing back its cubs is so difficult that most students would be discouraged.
It is not difficult to destroy the nest. All you need to do is carry enough explosives and bury a large amount of explosives when the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog is out foraging.
This can be done by anyone who is brave enough and thoughtful enough.
But bringing back a living Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog cub is as difficult as flying into the sky by one's own strength.
Compared to other dog monsters, the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog has a strange characteristic.
Most other dog-like monsters give birth to multiple babies in one litter, and the cubs are all ignorant.
This is not the case with the pups of the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog. After conception, an adult female Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog will only give birth to three pups in one litter.
Each cub has only one head when it is born.
Whether in terms of coat color or life characteristics, the puppies of the Ecuadorian three-headed demon dog look no different from the small native dogs in the small villages.
After giving birth to three cubs, the female demon dog will throw them alone in the depths of the cave and let them fend for themselves.
Adult demon dogs will not bring any food to their cubs, nor will they care about the life or death of their cubs.
This is a practice that goes against the laws of biological instinct, but it also shows the uniqueness of this ethnic group.
When the first cub dies naturally, the other two will begin to fight each other. The surviving one, no matter how scarred it is, will grow two more heads as long as it devours the bodies of its other two brothers.
When the devouring is complete, the remaining cub will immediately mature and become an adult three-headed demon dog, and then leave the parent's territory on its own to find a cave of its own.
When mature, the three-headed demon dog has a strong physique, and each head can spit out fireballs, water balls, and thunder, which will make people fear it.
People may simply think,
"Then when the female three-headed demon dog leaves, why don't I just take the three of them alive and run away with them?"
That’s right, the adult three-headed demon dog does not care about the life or death of the cubs, because it is a necessary process for their growth, but it does not mean that the adult three-headed demon dog will allow outsiders to interrupt the growth of the cubs.
The female three-headed demon dog will leave, but the male three-headed demon dog will stay and lurk near the cave entrance.
Female demon dogs will occasionally bring back food from hunting to share with their mates.
Therefore, in order to complete this task, you have to lure away the male three-headed demon dog, and you may even have to face off against the male three-headed demon dog head-on.
Capturing three cubs at the same time also requires special containers to separate the cubs and prevent them from killing each other, so that they can mature during transportation.
When the cubs are immature, the faint milky scent they carry on their bodies will be a beacon in the eyes of the adult three-headed demon dog.
They will chase after them at all costs and kill the cubs by force to force them to mature.
This is the general difficulty of tasks above five stars.
Without a team and extraordinary courage, without strength and superior wisdom, it is unlikely that the task can be completed.
And when the students remembered that Joe Bute Brown had completed a mission of this level and returned safely, he became a god-like existence in their hearts.
Unconsciously, there was a hint of admiration in the look he cast at Joe Butran.
But Joet Brown himself was completely unaware of it.
On the contrary, Arnold immediately became serious, straightened his chest, coughed heavily twice, and waved to the students not far away.
"Hello, classmates."
The commotion caused by the people came to an abrupt end, but a beautiful figure ran in front of the two of them in a hurry.
That person is naturally the teacher Selena who always criticizes the bad student Joe Butran every day.
Her image at this moment was neat and tidy, with her beautiful hair tied into a ponytail behind her back, wearing a tight professional suit and a pair of black leather shoes, looking extremely capable.
Her eyes suddenly turned and swept over the two of them. She first bowed slightly to Arnold respectfully, but then she ignored Jobtran as if he were air and didn't even look at him.
"Director Arnold, you are back.
Regarding the issue of problem students, I would like to discuss the expulsion with you. I wonder when you will be free to deal with it
I have placed the basic paperwork and source report on your desk, waiting for your approval."
Selina's words obviously put Joet Brown, the king of skipping classes, in the spotlight.
Under the watchful eyes of the crowd, Arnold could only scratch his head and said loudly,
“Jotter Brown and I went on an undisclosed mission, so please don’t mind it, Teacher Serena.
The courses he missed would require tutor Selena to give him private lessons in the future.
Arnold is not in a position to disclose any details about the mission, but asks Teacher Selina to forgive him.
This is the school rule, please don't make it difficult for Arnold."
Arnold's impromptu speech caused an uproar in the crowd.
"Wow, it's really a high-star mission, and I did it with the department head!"
“No need to talk about it anymore, my idol has changed.
Mr. Joet Brown, is there anything missing from your thigh
"Ah, classmate Joet Brown is so handsome, I want to give birth to a baby for you."
Upon hearing this, Joet Brown wished he could find a place to hide. Selena, a woman he knew well, was already enough of a hassle for him, not to mention his confidante Sif, who had been neglected for a long time.
"Well, can I go back to the dormitory first
I'm a little dirty, I want to change clothes and wash up."
asked Choate Brown timidly.
Selina gave Joet Brown an angry look.
"Well, you're lucky."
"Well... I'll be leaving now. Master, I'll trouble you with the formalities."
After saying this, Joet Brown ran back to the dormitory.
——
"Huh, I'm finally back."
Joet Brown used his ID card to open the door of his dormitory, but was stunned for a moment.
His own half remained the same, and Columbia seemed to clean it from time to time, but Columbia's half had changed drastically.
The originally smooth walls were covered with souvenirs sold in the Miskatonic University canteen - posters of mentors.
All the mentor posters show Selena with various expressions, some even in seductive poses.
There were even a few exquisitely crafted colorful ceramic figures on Columbia's table, and there was no doubt that they were all Selena.
If he hadn't seen the suitcase Columbia brought from Iceland, Joet Brown would even have suspected that his roommate had been replaced.
Joe Butran picked up a small card on Columbia's table and read it aloud, a drop of cold sweat dripping from his head.
"Huh? What is this
The leader of the beautiful witch cheering group???"
