About a few kilometers south of Hank Town, there is a large forest.
At this moment, Benjamin was walking in the woods.
The old man promised to give him those two books. Accordingly, he also had to get a special kind of Warcraft material for the old man. So, after saying hello to other resting mages, he came to this place alone, looking for a creature called "Dark Snake".
According to the old man, the body of this kind of monster is transparent and cannot be discovered by ordinary people. Only mages with extremely sharp mental powers can detect it. Therefore, some of the mercenaries the old man knew could not help him, so he had to ask Benjamin.
There are many other strange monsters in this forest. The old man and the wild mages he knows are basically potion mages, and they cannot deal with them at all. As for the adventurous mages in Icol, they have all joined the Mages Guild, and the old man has no dealings with the members of the Mages Guild. Therefore, he has been unable to obtain the corresponding materials, and a very important ongoing research cannot be carried out.
By the way, the concept of Potion Mage and Adventure Mage was also proposed a long time ago. I don’t know who came up with it.
It seems that after the establishment of the Kingdom of Hori and the many wars between the church and mages, all the books related to the production of mages' magic props were lost, and the mages who mastered this technology almost died. On the empire's side, potions that had always been unknown made breakthrough progress, and soon developed into a kind of magical knowledge that was superior to enchantments and curses, and had considerable practicality.
Therefore, a group of mages specializing in potions also came into being. They may have low combat abilities and don't even know much magic, but their mental power is extremely sharp and they can use all kinds of strange plants and monster materials to make magic potions with all kinds of strange effects.
In this way, the distinction between potion mages and adventure mages gradually emerged.
Benjamin also thinks this is normal. This is a manifestation of social division of labor in the development process of magic. Everyone has something they are good at, some are good at fighting, some are good at refining medicine. This distinction allows those who fight to concentrate on fighting, and those who refine medicine can concentrate on refining medicine, which greatly improves efficiency.
I don’t know if he will have any talent in potions when he comes into contact with it in the future, or, like what is written in those novels, he will become a full-time double major.
It seems a bit far-fetched...
Benjamin smiled self-deprecatingly, shook his head, took his thoughts back, and returned to the woods in front of him, where many monsters were said to live.
From the moment he entered the woods, he turned on his water element sensing method and observed everything around him. Therefore, he also discovered many strange monsters in the woods: fire-breathing foxes, scaly wolves, flying squirrels... But to be honest, so far, he has not found those that look like A very dangerous large monster.
This caused his assessment of the danger level of the forest to drop by several percentage points.
If he had known that the danger was not high, he would have called a few more people from the mage team to help him find it. As a result, he can only search here alone now, which will probably take a lot of time.
In fact, Benjamin is also full of curiosity about creatures like Warcraft. Since time traveling, he has spent most of his time close to the city. There are really very few opportunities to come into contact with Warcraft. The only contact he had was with the defenders who used griffins to ambush the gate. Apart from this, he has never even fought a monster head-on.
Taking this opportunity, he could also experience what it was like to hunt Warcraft.
However, even with this thought, Benjamin still did not relax his vigilance. While using the water element induction method to search for the magical beast called "Dark Snake", he took steps and continued walking towards the forest.
Soon, he ran into the first oncoming monster.
—A rabbit.
"Isn't this rabbit too ugly?" Suddenly, the system popped up and complained in a somewhat chilling tone.
However, after hearing this, Benjamin showed a somewhat incomprehensible expression.
The Warcraft that appeared in front of him was indeed a Warcraft in the form of a rabbit. However, its appearance was no different from an ordinary white rabbit. With its furry body, red eyes, and two ears hanging down, it looks quite cute.
How ugly? Don’t all rabbits look like this
Benjamin also realized that this was a magical beast and not an ordinary rabbit through the abnormal elements around the rabbit.
"It seems that it has avoided your eyes and the surrounding water elements, but it has not avoided my 'eyes'." Seeing that Benjamin did not agree, the system was silent for a while and suddenly said this.
…Avoided the water element
Benjamin suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
While he was communicating with the system, this seemingly ordinary rabbit suddenly popped out of the grass and attacked Benjamin.
It stood upright, its movements had a subtle sense of equipment, and its eyes were like neon lights, suddenly changing from red to blue.
Then, two ice picks appeared from nowhere and stabbed towards Benjamin.
"Fuck..."
Faced with this situation, Benjamin couldn't help but cursed.
He never expected that a seemingly docile and harmless little rabbit would turn out to be such a dangerous creature that could launch magical attacks in the blink of an eye.
Before the ice pick flew over, he quickly recited a spell, condensed several water bombs, and threw them towards the ice pick. Obviously, he planned to use this attack-on-attack method to block the attack from the "rabbit". Come down.
However, something unexpected happened.
The water bomb collided with the ice cone, but as if it hit nothing, it passed directly through the ice cone and continued to fly forward. As for those ice cones, they seemed to pass through the air without being affected at all, and continued to fly towards Benjamin.
Benjamin was frightened.
what's the situation
Seeing that the ice pick was about to fly over, he quickly jumped sideways and avoided the blow. As for the water bomb he just released, it flashed through the air at this moment and hit the strange rabbit standing on the ground.
The water splash dispersed and the rabbit disappeared.
Benjamin looked confused.
"What are you doing? Are you hiding from something? Why do you still use water balloons to hit the open space? Isn't that rabbit always squatting on the tree?" The system popped up again, and a series of questions were also confused by it. Throw it out.
Hearing this, Benjamin became even more confused.
Smash open space? Squatting in a tree
This... doesn't seem right.
After a brief moment of astonishment, Benjamin quickly realized what was going on.
—He was hallucinating.
As the system just said, this rabbit monster seemed to have a strange ability, able to deceive his eyes and the induction of water elements, causing him to have the same hallucination just now.
Unexpectedly, this monster in the woods can actually have such incredible abilities.
A little weird...
Soon, the disappeared rabbit reappeared on the ground in another place. At this moment, its eyes changed from blue back to an unusually thick red, like a pair of red light bulbs.
Then, raging fire burned around Benjamin, and gradually moved towards him.
"Another hallucination..." Benjamin said, shaking his head when he saw this.
And his face no longer looked astonished as before.
Now that I know it's an illusion, I'd better get rid of this thing quickly.
Thinking of this, along with the spell of breaking ice, a long ice sword exuding cold energy condensed in mid-air. Benjamin stared at the ice sword in mid-air, suddenly lowered his head, and said calmly to the system in his mind: "Tell me the exact location, and I will kill it."
However, when the system opened its mouth to answer, the voice suddenly became extremely mechanical:
"Hello, if you need human service, please press zero."
Then, a somewhat familiar digital interface suddenly appeared in front of Benjamin's eyes.
… oh
A knowing smile appeared on Benjamin's lips.
Without any hesitation, he raised his head and turned a blind eye to the fire that surrounded him. Instead, he commanded the ice sword floating in the air to fly towards the direction of "0" in the digital interface, and stabbed it fiercely.
