After Old Walker went out, only Leylin and Fresa were left in the room.
This knight knew Leylin's status as a wizard, so Leylin's posture became more casual.
Lying halfway on the armchair, Leylin narrowed his eyes slightly: "What progress has been made in the investigation of the withered forest?"
Fresa lowered his head to show respect: "Dear young master! According to your order, I sent several groups of scouts to investigate the withered forest. After paying the price of one death and two serious injuries, I finally got some clues!"
The withered forest incident directly led to a reduction in the production of medicinal materials in the Dark Night Forest. The major forces had also sent people to investigate, but many of the scouts they sent were attacked in the forest.
According to eyewitnesses, they were attacked by an inexplicable black shadow in the woods. They only knew that it was a monster at a high speed, but they found nothing else.
"Say!" Leylin's expression was still very calm.
"A thief finally saw the appearance of the monster when it attacked! This is a sketch based on what he said!"
The knight handed a piece of straw paper to Leylin.
Leylin took it and saw that what was depicted on the turf paper was a huge four-legged snake-like creature with scales all over its body, a forked tongue, and a small one-horn on top of its head.
"What else did that thief say?" Leylin asked.
"This monster is more than two meters long, its body is khaki, and it's extremely fast!" Fresa added.
"This kind of appearance?" Leylin quickly recalled in his mind the contents of the illustrated book of abnormal creatures that he had seen in the academy, "It looks a bit like a blue lizard, but the color is wrong, and it looks a bit like a snake!"
"However, judging from the fact that some human scouts were able to escape, this monster is not too dangerous. At least a second-class apprentice can completely deal with it!" Leylin felt relieved.
However, he still has no plans to take action himself at this time, not to mention that the potion experiment has entered a critical stage, even the withered forest has not been thoroughly investigated, and if it is not necessary, Leylin does not want to risk his life.
"Order, no matter who can catch or kill the monster, I will pay two thousand gold coins! I can also give any body material about this monster, whether it is scales, blood or skin horniness. Buy it for two hundred gold coins!"
Leylin said calmly.
"Yes! I'm going to release the task now!" Fresa bowed.
"Go!" Leylin waved his hand, and after another salute, Fresa strode out.
…
Three days later, in a small canyon in the east of Polar Night City.
Leylin was wearing a black robe and walking on the rugged mountain road. These obstacles were not a problem for him with all stats above 3. It was as easy as walking in his own backyard.
Behind him, Göring wore armor and a mask over his helmet, hiding his features as well.
"We're here! Bray Canyon Fair!" Leylin said softly, feeling the slight fluctuation of magic energy around him.
This market is a small resource exchange point near Pole Night City on the map that Brigitte gave Leylin. Half of the reason why Leylin chose this mission is also because of this market.
"Stop!" A girl's voice sounded, Leylin looked towards the place where the voice came from, and found a little girl riding a goat driving the goat.
The goat's four hooves hopped and jumped on the steep cliff, and it walked very fast, and it arrived in front of Leylin in no time.
"Are you a wizard?" The little girl looked at Leylin and asked calmly.
"Yes, I am a wandering wizard, I want to enter the market, this is my servant!" Leylin pointed to Goring behind him again.
"This servant has reached the level of a knight, right? You are amazing!" The little girl raised her thumbs up: "It costs one magic stone, and your servant is also a person! If you think it is too expensive, you can ask him to wait for you outside!"
"No need!" Leylin took out two magic stones and handed them to the little girl.
"I want to know where in the canyon I can get the latest information!" Leylin asked casually.
"Are you new here? I'm the most informed about the news here!" The little girl proudly raised her head, as if you were begging me.
Leylin was a little speechless. Judging from the detection of the chip, this little girl was a third-class apprentice, and her strength was still higher than that of Melfield. She must not be too young, but she didn't know why she kept the appearance of a child.
"Master Watcher, please tell me what price it will cost to get the news!" Leylin bowed slightly.
"I think you are very pleasing to the eye, one message and one magic stone!" The little girl acted like I think highly of you.
"Alright!" Leylin smiled wryly, and handed over a magic stone.
"How is the battle at Black Bone Forest Academy going?"
"The wizards who came to buy news recently asked this in all likelihood!" The little girl scratched her head, "According to the news from yesterday, Black Bone Forest is still insisting on relying on the witchcraft circle, but the apprentice is dead. few!"
After finishing speaking, the little girl muttered again: "Don't worry! Don't worry! The flames of war can't spread here, and there aren't even a few decent resource points here. How can it attract the attention of the academy? Only apprentices will come here occasionally !"
"I see! Then do you know why the war happened?" Leylin handed over a magic stone again.
The little girl took it quickly, "Who knows? It seems to be for a scepter, or a gem or something..."
"That's it!" Leylin nodded, expressing that he was fine.
"Young man, help you go smoothly in the canyon!" The little girl waved her hand, and patted the goat under her seat. The goat spread its hooves and quickly disappeared into the canyon.
"Let's go in too!" Leylin said to Goring behind him.
He came to the canyon this time, the time is very tight, several experiments have been carried out to a critical point, and the formula of the new blue potion has been deduced almost.
It's a pity that some wizard materials he bought before have been exhausted, so he had to go out again.
"Soon! As long as I buy all the auxiliary materials, I can start to try to refine the blue potion, and the mental power that has been growing slowly can also be greatly improved!" Leylin's eyes seemed to be burning with flames.
Along the path on the edge of the cliff, Leylin gradually went deep into the canyon. The shops at this trading point were all opened in the stone caves around the cliff, which looked like the caves of primitive people.
Leylin walked into a pharmacy called "Wolf's Test Tube". The inside of the cave was very dark, only a few stones emitting green light brought light.
The green stone cast a fluorescent green glow on everything in the cave, making it look bleak.
"Hey hey hey! What do you want?" A sinister laugh sounded.
A dwarf old man in a gray robe stepped out from behind a counter. His face was wrinkled, his head was bald, and his teeth were almost gone.
"I need tendril leaves, crystal fruits, and longan grape seeds. Give me twenty standard portions of each!"
Leylin said slowly.
"Oh!" The dwarf old man was nailed to the ground without moving, "These are medicine ingredients, and they are expensive! Are you a pharmacist?"
"This doesn't seem to have anything to do with your Excellency!" Leylin frowned, the old man's attitude made him a little uncomfortable.
"Young man! Didn't anyone teach you to be polite to the old?" The dwarf old man smiled slightly, and there seemed to be a whirlpool in his eyes, which was constantly turning.
"Warning! Warning! There are fluctuations in the mana force field on the target!" The chip's prompt sound came.
Golin behind Leylin fell down without saying a word.
"Damn it!" Leylin cursed secretly. Some wizard apprentices and even full-time wizards have become a little mentally disturbed due to failed advancement or leaked experimental pollution. on one.
According to the chip's detection, the dwarf old man on the opposite side was a second-class apprentice, but his mental strength was far higher than that of Leylin.
The mana in Leylin's body moved, freeing him from the old man's spell, "Charm spell? It doesn't look like it! It should be a passive spell! If so!"
Leylin's sleeves flicked, and a fiery red medicine test tube came to his hand, and a sense of danger emanated from his whole body.
"Hahaha... that's it! That's it! The beauty of death is about to come!" The dwarf old man laughed wildly and danced.
"This person is completely insane!" Leylin was ready to throw out the explosive potion at any time, and was looking for a way out.
He didn't want to fight a lunatic for no reason, and it didn't do him any good to win.
"Enough! Wolf!" Just as the old dwarf was preparing the spell, a voice came in. It was the guard, the voice of the girl riding a goat.
"Marisua! I've had enough of you!" The dwarf old man roared loudly, chanting a spell, the black smoke in his hand gathered and turned into a huge black ball.
The surrounding medicine racks became crumbling under the energy fluctuations of the black ball.
"Damn it! It's Wolfe's time! Some of you will help me!" The little girl's voice came again, a little annoyed.
"Ferth!" "Oak!"
Two extremely short incantations came, which made Leylin slightly stunned, "They are all third-class apprentices! I heard that third-class apprentices not only have enough mental power to support several zero-level spells, but also have mastered the skill of segmenting spells. Condensing spell spells into a few syllables produces an instant-like effect!"
After the two syllables ended, many green vines suddenly appeared in the cave, and huge vines bound Wolfe's hands and feet.
Wolff roared non-stop, and was about to throw the black smoke ball in his hand.
At this moment, a red arrow came in as if piercing the space, and shot straight into the center of the smoke ball.
puff! There was a slight sound in the air, and the black smoke and the red arrow continued to cancel each other out, and finally both of them disappeared.
"Positive energy neutralizes the arrow!" Leylin's pupils shrank slightly: "The third-class apprentices who are shooting outside are far superior to me in terms of their grasp of combat and understanding of spells!"
