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 the middle of the Rizhao month, and arrived at Bremen City on the 14th."
"Why were you so anxious to leave Hogan City all of a sudden?" Pierre asked curiously, Gothe's trajectory was far beyond his expectation.
Gothe 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 found that the magic concentration in the suburbs of Hogan City had increased significantly, which matched the two signs of the formation of earth veins."
"Maso Rats" After hearing the inside story, Pierre couldn't help but sigh: "They are the murderers behind the scenes."
"Have you heard of Maso Rats?" Gothe asked curiously.
He only knew this term through "Wind Spirit Moon Shadow".
"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 are not very lethal on their own. As long as you avoid the hypnotic red light emitted by its eyes, you can easily kill it.”
It is not more valuable than those powerful earth-line creatures, but it is also one of the favorites of hunters. "
This is easy to understand. It is like the carcass of the ground digger. It seems to be far more valuable than the Maso Rat, but if there is no convoy, how can Gaode 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’s mind kept echoing with one sentence, and there was only one word “pain” in his heart.
His [Fire Arrow] in Hogan City killed at least 7 or more Maso Rats.
That’s at least 7 pairs of eyes and at least 21 Xion gold coins!
21 gold, just thrown away by yourself for nothing?
It's okay, my eyeballs were probably cooked when I fired the flaming arrow, and I definitely couldn't use it anymore. Gothe comforted himself in his heart, and then he felt better.
"It's just that this 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 Bloodthorn 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 to hypnotize the living creatures, and then bring the living creatures to its surroundings for it to suck the blood.”
“If the Maso Rat feeds it enough blood food before it reaches adulthood, the Blood Thorn Vine may even grow into a level 1 leyline creature.”
“The mage wants to hunt the Ma Sora Rat to obtain its eyes, which is difficult to find, and he also has to face the threat of the Blood Thorn Vine, but the Blood Thorn Vine cannot move after all, and there are restrictions.”
"So compared to the risks involved in hunting other leyline creatures, the cost-effectiveness of hunting Maso Rats is still very high."
"It's a pity that leyline creatures like Maso Rats have only appeared in the Aden region before, making us mages living in the Bremen area can only envy."
"I didn't expect them to appear in the sewers of Hogan City now," Pierre clicked his tongue. He was amazed, "If I were twenty years younger, maybe I would have fought back to Hogan City."
Gao De nodded in agreement after hearing this. Pearl 3 gold coins, that’s a profit of hundreds of gold coins
However, although the strength of the Maso Rat alone is not strong, if you think about it seriously, it is not an easy task to obtain a large number of Maso Rat eyeballs.
After all, this is a gregarious leyline creature, and if there are too many ants, they can kill an elephant.
Furthermore, you cannot use spells that are too destructive to attack the Maso Rats.
Throwing a spell like Flame Arrow over, the Maso Rat will die, but its eyeballs will most likely be destroyed, and the meaning of hunting will be gone.
"Boy, 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.
Gothe hesitated for a moment, but 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 directly.
Having had so many contacts with Gothe, he has long had a deep understanding of Gothe'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 directly handed the note to Gothe, "Take it back and look at it more when you have time."
Gaude asked in surprise: "What is this?"
"Didn't I make a living by hunting leyline creatures when I was young? This is the information about the leyline creatures that I recorded."
h "It includes the specific names, appearance, characteristics, extraordinary abilities of various leyline creatures, the approximate value of the leyline creatures, and specific valuable parts"
h Piai You spread your hands and said, "Only high-level mages, mage organizations and officials have detailed information on earth-line creatures, and they are generally not for sale. These are all collected by me from a little record."
"After all, my strength is limited, so I can only choose leyline creatures that I am familiar with and easy to attack."
"But these are common 0-level leyline creatures in the Bremen area, so they should be of some use to you."
Gaode took the note as if he had found a treasure, "It is quite useful."
Not to mention how much advantage it will bring in the battle if you encounter the earth-line creatures and know the characteristics, abilities and weaknesses of the opponent.
The analysis of the value of earth-line creatures alone is enough to make this note worth thousands of dollars.
Otherwise, for Gothe, a situation like the Maso 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 a sufficient understanding of the leyline creatures, he does not have sufficient magical power, and it is difficult for him to hunt the leyline creatures.
The risks are high and the returns are small.
The two sat in front of the fireplace, chatting 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.
Perhaps this is the so-called people who like to recall their "glory years" with their juniors once they get older.
Gothe listened with rapt attention. He had both the expectation of hunting the earth-line creatures and the gratitude to Pierre in his heart.
He and Pierre were not close friends, 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 visit, for example, to visit Saint-Sion City, but unfortunately I never found the way, which is 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 my mentality is older, I feel that it is good to live a stable life in one place."
"If I want to go from Bremen to St. Sean's City, is there no direct way?" When it came to St. Sean's City, Gaude actually had questions, so he followed the topic and asked.
It has been a month since he came to Bremen. During this time, he has been looking for a way to St. Sean's City, but he has found no 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 St. Sean, so we have to keep turning around."
"If you want to go from Bremen to St. Sean, you have to transfer at least five or six times."
"It's so troublesome..." Gothe's brows were already frowning.
"But as for the direct way, it's not that there is no way, it's just that ordinary people can't access it." Pierre changed the topic and said again.
"What is that?" Gothe's curiosity was immediately aroused.
"Airship." Pierre said lightly.
