Chapter 152 Deer of Four Seasons and Mimics (2-in-1)
“Even for high-level mages, “continuous casting” is a very effective talent. "
Kandra looked at the snowy owl who was held in Gray's arms, closing his eyes and concentrating. His eyes were full of love, and he nodded and said:
"This talent can greatly shorten the spell. The interval between releases occupies a great advantage in the mage duel where every second counts! ”
Hear the words.
Next to Yeats, the bearded detective's face was full of surprise.
Snow Owl's promotion before the battle is outrageous enough.
What’s even more outrageous is that one of the seven dignitaries actually showed such favor to an owl!
"Could it be that the reason why Master Candela accepted Baron Yeats as his disciple..." Crane guessed the clues and felt strange, "It's because of this snowy owl?!"
Ye Zhi looked at Snow Owl's new 'spell counter' skill and thought to herself:
"When encountering a mage-type enemy, I can first let the Snow Owl launch a counter-spell."
"Wait until the enemy's spell is offset, and then let the Snow Owl output to create a counter-spell effect!"
My ears seemed to have heard the crisp magic sound effect when 'Counter Spell' was triggered: "Ding~"
Yeats couldn't help but be fascinated by Snow Owl's practice on the path of a mage. Higher expectations.
“I remember that in the plot, there is a trial set by the goddess of magic at Jianhe University. Those who pass the trial will have the opportunity to become her divine choice, attracting a group of talented magicians to participate..."
Yeats's eyes flickered and he thought to himself:
"I definitely have no chance of becoming the chosen one from the Magic God, but with my talented owl - the test of the Magic Goddess, it's worth a try!"
Mistletoe and immortal flower, Yeats is bound to win.
Before the arrival of ‘Walpurgis Night’ in May, Cam River University was Yeats’s destination.
It’s spring.
The rural fields are green, the monastery on the high slope in the distance has red and white tiles, and Yeats and his entourage on horseback pass by the winding stream.
When Crane heard that Yeats and others were going to the University of Cambridge, he proposed to go with them and recommended a well-known business in Edinburgh, the capital of the northern province: the Hippogriff manned flight.
"The Hippogriff is the offspring of a griffon and a mare. It has an eagle head, eagle wings and a horse body. It is easier to tame than a griffon."
Crane holds the reins. , talk freely:
< br>“The Hippogriff is often an extraordinary creature, but under the supervision and permission of the royal family, flight routes have been opened between the three capitals in the north, central and south, which can greatly speed up travel.”
< br>
"My Wings of Poetry cannot fly long distances, and Snow Leopard and Carrot are both land-based mounts." Yeats thought to himself:
"If I have the chance, I can build a flying mount..."< br>
When it comes to flying mounts in a fantasy world, the first choice is definitely the dragon.
Yeats couldn't help but glance at Gray.
Gray rubbed the snowy owl's round head, raised her head, and said strangely: "What's wrong?"
Dragonborn... seems to be able to transform into a dragon, right?
The ‘Mounted Combat’ talent gained when you were promoted to the second-level knight will then be able to take effect!
The windmill rotates leisurely, and smoke rises from the hut in the distant fields.
Not long after walking, a large sea of gold and red tulips came into view.
In the midst of the sea of tulips, the remains of an ancient tower stand in the center of the sea of flowers,
At this time, the Snow Owl suddenly opened his eyes, glanced at the ruins, and immediately said to Yeats: "Gu!"
I smelled the smell of magic equipment!
Yeats: "..."
Come here, Yeats decided to go and find out.
Summon the Snow Leopard and let it lead the battle with the Snow Owl.
There are no undead creatures in the tower that are common in ruins.
Everyone spiraled upward along the winding stairs in the tower, and the journey was uneventful.
At the top of the tower, the view is extremely broad.
Looking around, you can see golden tulips gathering into a sea of sparkling flowers.
At the top, there is a statue of an elk chewing young leaves.
The ancient traces of time remain on the statue, still faintly exuding the vitality of nature and spring.
"You have discovered the statue of 'The Deer of Four Seasons, Spring'."
"Your 'Bard' career level has increased."
Yeats 1 Startled... You have unlocked a new check-in location, right?
“This is the statue that symbolizes the spring deer in the Four Seasons of Deer.”
Candela stroked his white beard and explained:
"You should all have heard of the legend of creation... The essence of the world is a world tree that connects the nine worlds."
Klan nodded and agreed:
"If I remember correctly, the World Tree is inhabited by poisonous dragons, eagles, squirrels, roosters and other magical creatures?"
"Yes. ”
Candela smiled slightly:
“On the branches of the World Tree, four big deer are running back and forth. They symbolize the four seasons and the four winds, and are called the Deer of the Four Seasons.”
“This A tall tower..." The white-robed master looked at the magnificent sea of tulips and said with emotion, "It is the place where the Spring Deer was once worshiped."
Yeats: "..."
The World. The squirrel in the tree... drilling its teeth, is it you?
"It is precisely because of the protection of the deer in spring that this sea of tulips is so magnificent."
While everyone is looking at the beautiful scenery.
Gray walked around behind the statue of the Spring Deer. She was startled at first, and then said in surprise:
"Yeats, there is a treasure chest here!"
Yeats 1 Stunned.
Will treasure chests appear in this kind of place?
After saying it too late, Gray put his hand on the treasure box with excitement on his face, and was immediately surprised.
The treasure chest opened with a creak, revealing a pair of strange eyes, and then a big tongue stuck out from the treasure chest!
Gray looked alert and quickly dodged back, but the Mimic Monster 'Crunch' jumped towards it.
Zheng!
An incredibly fast slash.
Kandra has reinserted the blade into the scabbard.
The Mimic Monster broke into pieces with a 'clang' sound and lost its vitality.
"Is this... a Mimic?" Gray said in a complicated tone.
“Otherwise.” Yeats poked the Mimic’s tongue with his stabbing sword and commented, “It looks quite fresh.”
The atmosphere suddenly became quiet.
Candra, Crane, and Gray turned their heads and looked at Yeats with strange eyes.
“The essence of the Mimic Monster is a soft-bodied creature similar to clams. The treasure box can be regarded as its shell.”
Yeats explained: “And the Mimic Monster’s tongue , similar to the tentacles used by geoducks for foraging, and the meat is plump! "
Compared with the treasure chests made of 'morphing monsters' in the traditional fantasy worldview.
The "Geoduck Mimic" setting in "Phantom" is quite sunny.
Culinarians do use Mimics to cook delicious food.
It’s just that before cooking, mana must be used to remove the harmful impurities remaining on the Mimics, which places extremely high demands on the chef’s skills.
Seeing that Hunter was so happy, Yeats rolled up his sleeves and said with a smile:
"It's useless to say more, so I'll take the Mimic and make a 'thick-cut Mimic Tongue' for everyone!"
Everyone's eyes changed.
Gray's face was stiff, expressing everyone's feelings.
“Is this really edible?”
Cooking Mimics, Kandra had only heard of it in anecdotes.
When Yeats really started to clean Mimic's tongue, Candela stroked his beard and murmured unconvincingly: "Yeats must be sure that he would do this...right?"
"I can understand eating miraculous clams, but this Mimic's tongue..." Crane's tone was subtle.
Yeats washed the Mimic's tongue to remove impurities and soaked it in a marinade made of herbs, fish sauce, ginger, garlic, and lemon juice.
Then, he took out a simple grill and charcoal fire from the space bag, lit a 'Spark Technique' on his fingertips, and ignited the charcoal fire.
“You don’t need a flamethrower to cook.” Yeats muttered, “All you need is spark magic.”
Under the cover of the sea of tulips, smoke and fragrant aroma float from the top of the Four Seasons Deer Tower.
Yeats Place the marinated Mimic Tongue on the grill, brush the surface with a layer of olive oil, and shake the grill handle to ensure even grilling on both sides.
The Mimic Tongue gradually turned golden brown, exuding the aroma of barbecue, ginger, garlic, and lemon marinade. Yeats quickly cut it into thick slices and placed it on a plate.
"Charcoal-grilled thick-cut Mimic Tongue: three stars. The Mimic Tongue is grilled over charcoal fire. The surface is golden and fragrant, the interior meat is fresh and tender, and the taste is elastic. After eating, it temporarily increases the perception of the surroundings (large )"
"It's done!" Yeats distributed the plates to everyone.
Snow owls and snow leopards are also summoned.
"Gu~" Although the snowy owl was drowsy, when he smelled the fragrance of delicious food, he immediately opened his eyes wide and the black pupils in his yellow eyes shrank.
“Woo!”
The snow leopard is close to the size of an adult snow leopard. It squats with its tail propped up, its expression full of expectation, and it steps on its tail with its two front paws.
The radish is tied under this high tower and can only smell the fragrance.
Gray held the dinner plate and looked back and forth.
Remembering the scene where I was ambushed by a Mimic Monster just now, I scratched my head.
I really don’t understand how Yeats can make all kinds of monsters into dishes! ?
The white-robed mage tasted a thick-cut Mimic Tongue and was stunned for a moment.
“It’s quite crispy, just like eating conch meat.” Candela said in surprise.
"The part with the burnt edges is particularly delicious." Crane's eyes widened, "I can't believe it turned out to be a Mimic!"
Gray hesitated for a moment, closed her eyes and tasted it. The moment she entered her mouth, she was filled with juice. Brings a wonderful sense of satisfaction with the tender texture of the meat.
“It tastes like beef.”
Gray paused and said, “It’s like a Mimic fell into the sea and had a fight with a buffalo!”
Yeats: "...Why do buffaloes live in the sea?"
"I said it wrong." Gray scratched his head and laughed, "It's a manatee!"
Yeats smiled helplessly, caught a glimpse of the statue of the Deer of the Four Seasons, and pondered for a moment.
Come here, there is no reason not to offer sacrifices!
Yeats asked Snowy Owl to help him select a few tulips from the sea of tulips, mix them with honey, blueberries, and dried fruits to make a special 'tulip salad'.
Putting this salad in front of the statue of the deer of all seasons, Yeats nodded symbolically, and then said:
"Let's go on our way, let's ride the Hippogriff!"
Start off again.
The distance from the tower is getting farther and farther.
The breeze picked up a few petals and blew them in front of Yeats' eyes.
He suddenly felt something in his heart and looked back at the tower.
Under the perception provided by the food, Yeats was surprised to find that the statue of the Spring Deer seemed to glow faintly.
Later.
An elk transformed into divinity walked out of the statue and leaned over to taste the salad offered by Yeats.
Candra and Crane also saw this scene.
“This…” Crane couldn’t hide his shock, “This is simply a miracle!”
Candela's eyes flashed, and he nodded and said: "The Deer of Spring recognized Yeats's gift."
The Deer of Spring had clear eyes and glanced in the direction of Yeats.
Yeats was slightly startled. The moment his eyes touched it, he felt a gentle force pouring into his body.
"You have received the blessing of the Spring Deer."
"Blessing·Blessing of Spring: Improve your resistance to diseases and toxins in spring, and speed up your stamina recovery speed. (This Blessing only takes effect in spring)"
"It can only take effect in spring...but it's not a big problem."
Yeats thought to himself: "As long as I sacrifice one by one to the deer of the four seasons, wouldn't it mean that I will be blessed all year round?"
>*
Night falls.
Yeats and his party arrived at Edinburgh, the capital of the northern province.
Edinburgh stands on a rolling rocky cliff, and its lord is the Duke of Alba.
Klan has sent a letter in advance, hoping that Alba can prepare the Hippogriff to go to Jianhe University, and Alba led his entourage and went out of the city to greet him personally.
‘Iron Eagle’ Alba has a solemn appearance, thick black hair, and a chiseled face. He is riding a lion and looking at the silver-haired boy who is approaching.
“Nice to meet you, Baron Yeats.” Alba nodded and greeted Crane, “We haven’t seen you for a long time, Mr. Crane, are you still studying those ghosts of yours?”< br>
“It can’t be called research, I’m just interested in these things.” Crane smiled slightly and said, “This visit to Edinburgh has caused any inconvenience to the Duke. I apologize for it.”< br>
Alba smiled faintly and immediately looked at Yeats.
"I have long heard that Baron Yeats led the Morning Frost Ridge to survive the cold wave..." Alba nodded, "Even compared to your father, there is no concession."
As he spoke, Alba focused on Candela and said calmly:
"Master Candela, Baron Crane, Baron Yeats... please follow me back to the castle, I have prepared some I will treat you all well at the banquet.”
At this time, the lion under Alba’s crotch let out a low roar like a demonstration.
"My pet has a bad temper," Alba explained.
The carrot spat wildly at the lion, causing Alba and his mount to be startled at the same time.
“My war horse also has a bad temper.” Yeats coughed lightly.
Alba smiled instead of being angry and said: "This lion is old and needs a young horse to stimulate its vitality... Baron Yeats, please!"
That night .
After the feast.
Yeats returned to his residence under the leadership of his servants. He received news from Candela and met him in the drawing room.
"Yeats, there is a branch of the Mages' Guild in Edinburgh. I will take you to the Mages' Guild tomorrow."
Under the light of the bonfire, the white-robed mage tasted the gingerbread, vaguely typical.
"What are you going to do there?" Yeats asked.
"Mages who have been officially registered and registered by the Mages Guild will enjoy many conveniences such as borrowing scrolls and purchasing materials at discounts."
Kandela wiped his hands on his robe and said: "And joining the Mages Guild will allow mages to In practice, few There are many detours."
Yeats weighed it for a moment and said, "But I am not a magician, can I join the Mages Guild?"
"You are not required to register."
< br>Candra glanced at Yeats.
"Let your Snow Owl apply for the formal assessment of a three-ring mage."
Yeats: "..."
Would this make other mage's hearts collapse?
