Chapter 81 81. Tailoring the Cloud Snake
It was about to lead to a tragedy, but the moment its sharp beak came down, the Phantom Cloud Snake's body turned into clouds and disappeared.
Floating, appearing not far away.
Straightened up and glared at the owl.
"Hiss!"
The sound was full of threats and warnings.
“Cuckoo~”
The owl failed to peck the cloud snake, so it stopped moving and combed its feathers with its beak, pretending that nothing happened.
It seems a bit embarrassing for Huan Ling Yun Snake to be so public.
Kloya couldn't help laughing when he saw it: 'This owl is really good at pretending to be stupid. ’
"Okay, okay."
Had enough of the farce, he stretched out his hand and made a virtual grab at the feathered snake. Two pairs of mage hands surrounded him from all sides at the same time, and the turmoil of magic made it impossible to escape.
I was immediately grabbed.
“You can’t peck it casually anymore!”
After giving the owl a lesson, he looked at the Phantom Cloud Snake:
“Answer my question just now, you are Do you have any ideas as to why you want to sneak into the Black Feather Chicken?”
The captured Magic Feather Cloud Snake sensed the magic power of the two pairs of mage hands and immediately calmed down.
It is indeed a level three monster, but facing these two hands, it has no ability to resist at all.
So, it answered honestly: "I escaped from the Stardust Circus. To avoid them, I just want to find my own kind."
"Stardust Circus ?" Croya thought for a moment and found that the name was not in his memory, and asked curiously: "What kind of circus is that?"
The Phantom Cloud Snake glanced at Croya strangely: "Don't you know? They came with the Northern Territory Walking to perform magic for various lords."
"You should be a A powerful lord.”
“…”
Kloya really doesn’t know about this.
He is a lord sent by the Mage Association. He has no overlap with the kingdom's administrative system. Even if something happens, the other party will deliberately ignore him.
The aristocratic relationships in this place are complicated, but quite exclusive, and it is really difficult for outsiders to get in.
This is also the main reason why he wants to take Baron Kemoyer as his subordinate. He urgently needs someone who can help him detect intelligence within the power of the nobles.
Otherwise, if you turn a blind eye when something happens, you would be really stupid.
Moreover, when it comes to traveling in the Northern Territory, the businessman named Sesu has not contacted him for a long time. For some material transactions, the other party's subordinates communicated with Rob.
Last time I gave him the Sea Spirit Coconut potion. Could it be that the potion didn't work, or that the potion caused the big man's illness to worsen and he was arrested?
Or does it have something to do with this stardust circus?
"You said they are here to perform magic for the lord?" Croya asked strangely: "Are there many magicians there?"
What if the magicians really act as clowns to perform magic for the kingdom? If the lord is sent to perform a trick, then the Mage Association in the capital must be blown up directly.
How can a mage, such a noble profession, do such a "lowly" thing?
Let alone walking in the Northern Territory to do such a thing, even if the Grand Duke dares to do this, the Mage Association will come directly to him to ask for an explanation.
To be honest, the credibility is really not high.
"..." Huan Ling Yun She was silent for a moment before replying: "Not a magician, but a torturer. They are all torturers."
"Those who are tortured." Loya understood immediately.
If it were them, it would really not be surprising.
The so-called "torture victims" are actually miners from the Yavanna Holy Mine, one of the largest magic crystal mines in the entire Semrio continent.
There will be more or less strange magical phenomena in that huge magic crystal mine. If you mine ores there for a long time, you will inevitably be contaminated by these chaotic magical powers and your body will mutate.
These mutations allow them to use some basic magic, which does not exceed level two and is very rigid.
Being able to control magic sounds good.
But they cannot control the magic power of these riots, and their bodies will gradually be eroded by the magic power, and eventually they will die completely.
You have control over magic, but you also have to endure the terrible feeling of the magic devouring yourself. This is where the name "The Tortured" comes from.
The original person once saw a tortured person when he was in the Mage Association, and saw with his own eyes the scars on his body that were eroded by the source of chaotic magic power.
It was blue, like a huge crack in the back of the tortured person, penetrating deep into the bone marrow.
The magic inside is almost endlessly surging and violent, making people feel chilling.
The mages are completely wary of this chaotic and contagious source of magic power.
At that time, it was said that the Archmage of the Mage Association discussed with the bishop of the church, but could not come up with a solution.
The attempt was fruitless, and the magic that these victims can use is very rudimentary, basically fireball, fire ring...
There is really no reason to redeem them. .
Coming from the erosion of the magic mineral veins bred by the earth, there may be some high-level magic or divine magic that can soothe or even calm down the magic.
But, it is obviously impossible to use this level of magic and magic on a group of miners.
So he can only be reduced to a clown for entertainment.
To be honest, it’s quite embarrassing, and suddenly performing magic for the lords is a bit fishy no matter how you think about it.
Although he is far away from him, he will keep appropriate attention and vigilance to avoid affecting himself.
He put the matter aside for the time being and continued to ask: "How did you escape? I remember that the Mage Association and the royal family of the kingdom have almost round-the-clock surveillance on such torturers.
This kind of magic power The existence of an unstable source is like a time bomb."
"If you are also from the Stardust Circus, it is logically impossible to escape."
The Phantom Cloud Snake replied: "Because among the tortured people, there is a guy who has learned space magic and can walk in the spiritual realm."
The sound it generates through magic resonance becomes deeper:
"He I chose to self-destruct my own magic source, so that we and all the other tortured people could escape through the magic of spiritual walking. After I left the Stardust Circus, I chose to hide among the chickens to avoid being caught by the men walking in the North Territory. Well, the result still fell into your hands.”
“That’s it.”
Since then, Croya has sorted out his thoughts.
Spiritual walking is a very special kind of space magic, which can make people temporarily blurred and ignore most physical means.
It makes sense to escape.
To be honest,
he is not worried about any prisoners escaping to his territory. Hanjiao Island is already isolated overseas, but if a stranger comes, he will probably be watched by the whole island. .
The only thing he was worried about was the businessman, who was quite neat in his work. It would be a pity if he accidentally died because of this incident.
I don’t know what happened to poor Sesu.
He sighed for a moment and said clearly to the Phantom Cloud Snake: "There is a fourth-level magic called inspiration seeking."
"It can use the special resonance of its own blood or magic power to He found a magic wave similar to his own power. "
"You should understand what I mean, right?"
Of course the Phantom Cloud Snake has understood what Croya meant.
If there is such magic, it can indeed find its own kind, but the problem is...
It shook its head bitterly: "I can't learn human spells. "
As a Warcraft that wants to learn human spells, just figuring out the spell model is very troublesome. Even though it can communicate with Croya normally, it seems to be quite smart.
But no matter how smart a monster is, it still needs hard work if it wants to learn human magic.
The reason why the human race was able to suppress a naturally powerful race like the elven dragons and occupy a dominant position on the continent was mainly because of its super powerful learning ability.
Level 4 magic? Might as well kill it.
Kloya smiled mysteriously: "I have a way for you to learn it, but what benefits can you bring to me?"
Facing this kind of monster, he did not intend to beat around the bush.
Benefits are the key.
The Phantom Cloud Snake thought carefully, and suddenly clouds and mist rose from its body. In the clouds and mist, its body quickly elongated, like plasticine.
Although it was difficult to see clearly due to the clouds and fog, Croya could tell that this guy should be turning into a human form, and it was still a very slender human form.
A bad premonition suddenly arose in his heart.
About half a minute later.
The clouds and fog slowly dispersed.
A... woman who was dressed a little too coolly appeared in front of Croya.
Her figure is tall and toned, not as slender as the one she just saw. There is flesh where there should be flesh, and her whole body is filled with the beauty of a female leopard.
But she has white curly hair hanging down, and her pupils are also light pink, giving her a more feminine and pitiful charm.
She smiled at Croya and made a pretentious voice: "Master Mage, are you satisfied with my transformation?
You... you can let me You can do whatever you want!”
Chloe: “…”
Thank you, I feel a little nauseous.
Warcraft imitating humans... This is simply a disaster, stiff and weird, and the uncanny valley effect has been committed.
His expression did not change at all, and he just waved his hand, and a ripple of magic washed over the woman like a sea wave.
Piles of clouds and mist were suddenly washed away from her body by the magic power. In the blink of an eye, she transformed from a rather beautiful woman back to the somewhat sacred cloud snake just now.
It immediately felt more pleasing to the eye.
“Apart from this, don’t you have any other abilities?” He was a little dissatisfied.
“Yes!”
Perhaps hearing the dissatisfaction in Croya’s voice, it quickly said: “I can collect clouds and help you cut them and fix them in a certain position. !”
“My ability to change is formed by using magic power to fabricate clouds.”
“Collecting and cutting clouds?”
Kloya finally mentioned it. He showed a little interest and signaled: "Show it."
"Master Mage, please wait a moment."
The Phantom Cloud Snake flapped its small wings and took off into the air on the spot, and then got directly into the air. It fell into the white clouds in the sky, and after a while, it fell down with a piece of white cloud.
White clouds, to put it bluntly, are water vapor and dust particles that gather together, and will disperse with a gentle breeze.
But the white cloud captured by the Phantom Cloud Snake was very stable, and there was no change even when it flew down.
Chloë reached out and touched it. It felt like soft cotton. The water vapor inside seemed to be condensed and fixed by a strange magic power, so that it would not disperse so easily.
"Then, this is the only use?"
If it is really just for fun or as a decoration, then...it's not impossible, it's just a little bit useless.
“It can absorb water magic. If there is enough water in it, through the influence of my magic, it can start raining at a fixed location.
The bigger the cloud, the more rain it can fall. The more it is, the more it will disappear until the water vapor inside dissipates.”
“Rainfall?”
Sounds good.
Kloya suddenly thought of something.
By the way, aren’t there still dark clouds accumulating in the Holy Light Clover over there?
If you could harness those dark clouds and make them rain at designated locations, wouldn't that be a fully automatic irrigation machine?
The amount of water stored there should be very exaggerated.
