Chapter 84 Airship
"I came here at the beginning of last month. I should have come to Bremen earlier than you, right?" Gothe said with a smile.
He walked into the room and sat down by the unlit fireplace.
Pierre brought two cups of hot tea and sat down opposite Gauthe.
"That was indeed faster than me. I didn't take care of everything until almost the middle of the Rizhao month, and I didn't arrive in Bremen until the 14th."
"Why are you so anxious to leave Hogan City all of a sudden?" Pierre asked curiously. Gothe's action trajectory was far beyond his expectation.
Gaode picked up the porcelain cup, took a sip of tea, and said honestly: "I thought your reminder made sense at the time. After I went back, I discovered that the concentration of magic power in the suburbs of Hogan City has increased significantly. The two signs of the formation of earth veins matched up."
"The most important thing is, I also discovered later." Gothe told Pierre the details of the discovery at the entrance of the sewer.
After hearing the inside story, Pierre couldn't help but sigh: "They are the murderers behind the scenes."
"Have you heard of the Maso Rat?" Gothe asked curiously.
He only knew this term through "Feng Ling Yueying".
“I’ve heard of it before. This is an earth-line creature that only appears in the Aden region. It has a symbiotic relationship with a strange plant called the Blood Thorn Vine.” Pierre nodded.
“The eyes of the Maso Rat have the extraordinary ability to hypnotize, but they themselves are not very lethal. As long as you avoid the hypnotic red light emitted by its eyes, you can easily kill it.”
“And their eyes are a common potion material, and a pair of eyeballs is worth about 3 gold.”
“Because their combat power is extremely weak, and the eyeballs are extremely light and easy to carry, A little adds up to a lot, so even if this rat is not more valuable than those powerful earth-line creatures, it is still one of the favorites of hunters.”
This is easy to understand. Just like the corpse of a ground-digger, it seems to be far more valuable than a worm, but if there is no convoy traveling with it, how can Gothe transport it back to the city?
But the Maso Rat is different. Not to mention that you only need to dig out a pair of eyeballs, even if you have to carry the entire Maso Rat, it won't be too much of a burden.
"A pair of eyes is worth 3 gold.?!" Here, Gao De kept echoing in his mind, and there was only one word "pain" in his heart.
His [Fire Arrow] in Hogan City killed at least 7 more Maso Rats.
That’s at least 7 pairs of eyes and at least 21 Sean gold coins!
21 gold, just thrown away by yourself for nothing?
It's okay, my eyeballs were probably cooked when my flaming arrow went down, and I definitely couldn't use it anymore. Gaode comforted himself in his heart, and then he felt better.
"It's just that this kind of rat is not common. It only lives in places where the bloodthorn vine grows." Pierre was still talking.
“They are typical social leyline creatures, and they live in mutualistic symbiosis with the Blood Thorn Vine.”
“The Blood Thorn Vine likes to feed on the blood of living creatures, but it cannot move on its own, so it needs to rely on the Maso Rat. Hypnotize the living creature, and then bring the living creature to its surroundings for it to suck its blood.”
"In return, after sucking blood, the Blood Thorn Vine will secrete blood mist to help the Maso Rat grow and improve its extraordinary abilities."
"The combat effectiveness of the Blood Thorn Vine is among the 0-level earth line creatures. , and it is considered the most powerful group."
"If the Masuo Rat feeds it enough blood food before it reaches adulthood, the Blood Thorn Vine may even grow into a level 1 earth vein creature."< br>
“The mage wants to hunt down the Maso Rat to obtain its eyes. Not only is it difficult to find, but he also has to face the threat of the Bloodthorn Vine. However, the Bloodthorn Vine cannot move after all and has restrictions.”< br>
“So compared with the risks involved in hunting other leyline creatures, the cost-effectiveness of hunting the Maso Rat is still very high.”
"It's a pity that earth-line creatures like the Maso Rat have only appeared in the Aden area before, so we mages living in the Bremen area can only envy us."
"I didn't expect that they would appear now. Appearing in the sewers of Hogan City," Pierre marveled, "If I were twenty years younger, I might have returned to Hogan City."
Hearing this, Gothe nodded in agreement. , a group of Maso rats, there are at least hundreds of them, and a pair of eyes costs 3 gold coins, which is a profit of hundreds of gold coins
However, although the Maso rats alone are not strong, if you think about it seriously, if you want to It is really not an easy task to obtain a large number of eyes of the Maso Rat.
After all, this is a gregarious leyline creature. If there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.
Moreover, you cannot use spells that are too destructive to attack the Maso Rat.
Throwing a spell like Flame Arrow over, the Maso Rat will die, but its eyes will most likely be destroyed, and the meaning of hunting will be gone.
"You kid, tell me the truth, what level is your mage now?" Pierre looked at Gothe and asked seriously.
The level of a mage is difficult for outsiders to detect, even for a high-level mage versus a low-level mage.
Gaode hesitated for a moment, then replied: "Second-class mage apprentice, who just broke through last month."
"Second-class mage apprentice." Pierre muttered, "You are not over sixteen, are you?"
"No." Gothe shook his head. In fact, he was only thirteen this year. "The talent is good, and it is not impossible to be promoted to a level 1 mage in the future." Pierre said with emotion.
“Although I don’t know where you learned some crafts from, based on your knowledge, I think you don’t have a mentor, let alone come from a mage family.” Pierre said very directly.
With so many contacts with Gaode, he has already had a deep understanding of Gaode's "short-sightedness".
"Wild mage, it's not easy to become a level 1 mage. Just wait." The little old man sighed, then got up and walked into the living room in the hall. After a while, he came out with a notebook.
He handed the note directly to Gothe, "Take it back and look at it more when you have time."
Gothe asked in surprise: "What is this?"
" When I was young, I made a living by hunting leyline creatures. This is the information I recorded about leyline creatures."
"It includes the specific names, appearance, characteristics, and extraordinary abilities of various leyline creatures. The approximate value of the leyline creature and the specific valuable parts”
Pierre spread his hands and said, "Detailed information on earth-line creatures is only available to high-level mages, mage organizations and officials, and is generally not for sale. These are all found out by myself through little records."
"Although I have been hunting leyline creatures for more than ten years when I was young, there are actually not many types of leyline creatures recorded, only about twenty species."
"After all, my strength is limited , you can only choose familiar and easy-to-attack earth-line creatures.”
“But these are common 0-level earth-line creatures in the Bremen area, and they should still be of some use to you.”
Gaode took the note as if it were a treasure, "It is quite useful."
Not to mention how much advantage it will bring in battle if you actually encounter an earth-line creature, knowing the opponent's characteristics, abilities and weaknesses.
The analysis of the value of earth-line creatures alone is enough to make this note worth thousands of dollars.
Otherwise, for Gaode, a situation like the Ma Suo Mouse Eyeball, where the treasure mountain is in front of him but he knows nothing about it, will definitely happen again.
If he does not have enough understanding of the earth-line creatures, he will not have enough magical power to hunt the earth-line creatures.
The risks are high and the returns are small.
The two sat in front of the fireplace and talked for a long time with the occasional sound of passers-by outside the window.
Mainly Pierre talks about his experiences and some experiences when he was hunting earth-line creatures in the wild when he was young.
This may be the so-called people who like to recall their "glory years" with their juniors once they get older.
Gothe listened with rapt attention, filled with expectations for hunting earth-line creatures and gratitude to Pierre.
He was not related to Pierre, and they only did a few businesses, but Pierre gave him a lot of help.
"When I was young, I always wanted to go out and see, for example, to visit Saint-Sion City, but unfortunately I never found the way. It's quite a pity." Seeing that they had been chatting for a long time, Pierre was ready to end the chat.
“Now that I am older and have an older mentality, I feel that it is good to live a stable life in one place.”
“If you want to go from Bremen to St. Isn't there any direct way to reach the city?" When it came to Saint-Sean City, Gaode actually had questions and asked following the topic.
It has been a month since he came to Bremen City. During this period, he has been looking for ways to get to Saint-Sion City, but he has not found any news at all.
“Generally, if you want to go to Saint-Sean City, you can only go through the waterway.”
“But there is no direct water system connecting Bremen to Saint-Sien, so we have to keep turning around.”
“If you want to get from Bremen to Saint-Sien, you have to transfer at least five times. Six times."
"It's so troublesome..." Gao De frowned.
“But if we talk about the direct way, it’s not impossible, it’s just that ordinary people can’t access it.” Pierre changed the topic and said again.
"What is that?" Gaode's curiosity was suddenly aroused.
"Airship." Pierre said calmly.
