Chapter 394 Esmere Lake Basilisk
"Mage Gothe, this is the detailed introduction of the strange raccoon, take a look." After searching around the library on the second floor, Master Freddy, who was on duty today, took out a small roll of slightly yellowed parchment and handed it to Gothe.
The possibilities of different postures extend different extraordinary abilities according to different postures, and the changes are endless. "
"A total of eight forms of strange raccoons have been discovered: thunder strange raccoon, fire strange raccoon, wind strange raccoon, poisonous strange raccoon, wood strange raccoon, water strange raccoon, ice strange raccoon, and moonlight strange raccoon."
“The highest-level alien raccoon that has been discovered so far is the fifth-level poisonous alien raccoon.”
h “No matter what posture or level of alien raccoon dog, the alien raccoon eggs they produce are “initial” eggs with no attributes and no levels. "
"Its specific posture and future level will be determined by the environment during the egg-laying period."
h "During the egg-laying stage, the alien eggs will continue to absorb various elemental powers in the environment, and the elemental power with the largest proportion will determine Its final posture, the purer the elemental power it absorbs during this process, the richer the magic power, and the more powerful its final posture will be."
“The Huo Yitanuki has a fire bag hidden in its body. After taking a deep breath, it can spit out extremely high-temperature flames. When the flames accumulate in the body, its own body temperature will rise sharply, which is very dangerous."
With the power of force and wood elements, if there is sunlight, you don't need food, and your body will be lingering with a unique aroma."
"The ice fox has the ability to quickly lower body temperature and create ice crystals, which can freeze the atmosphere and create a scene of ice and snow."
Seeing that Gothe's eyes finally moved away from the parchment in his hand, Master Freddy knew that Gothe had already understood the basic situation of the Yili. Out of goodwill, he kindly mentioned two more things that were not mentioned in the introduction:
"Some senior mages are quite interested in the Yili. In their view, the possibility of the Yili changing into multiple postures contains great secrets, and they want to study out the secrets
shall be able to fetch a good price if it be sold for a good price
"Unfortunately, this lizard‐like raccoon dog's egg has already transformed into a water-distant raccoon dog's appearance. , The alien eggs that have not yet shown a posture trend are really valuable."
"Once the posture trend appears, the value will be reduced by half." A look of regret appeared on Master Freddy's face.
"Forget it, after all, I personally fished it out from the bottom of the water. It stayed there for more than ten years without anyone noticing, but I found it. This is also a kind of fate. I am not that short of money. I plan to keep it for myself." Gao De shook his head and said.
"That's it." Master Freddy glanced at Gothe thoughtfully, thought for a while, and then said: "Then you'd better go to Biboting and ask for advice on how to domesticate earth-line creatures." However, if the correct domestication method is not adopted, due to the unruly nature of the earth creature, it may not recognize its master when it reaches adulthood. "
"At that time, all your hard work will be in vain."
"Biboting is very professional in the field of domesticating earth-line creatures."
"Okay, I will definitely go, thank you for your reminder." Gao De thanked him.
After leaving the second floor of the Haiyuan White Tower, Gothe did not leave the Mage Tower directly, but went to the "Mission Hall".
[Hidden Danger of Crab Disaster] cannot be regarded as completed yet, but it does not delay him from taking on new tasks.
He needs to accumulate enough military power to redeem the spell formula. Just a [Crab Disaster Hazard] reward is far from enough.
This work must continue.
As soon as I stepped into the "Mission Hall", it was as deserted as ever. There were no other Sea Sentinel mages present.
Gaode's eyes quickly scanned the crystal board, looking for a suitable task.
This time it seems that I came at just the right time, and there are many more tasks to take on than the previous two times.
His preferred mission is to eliminate water beasts.
The content of this type of mission is simple and direct, without so many twists and turns. The core is to kill the water beasts found in the water system. After completion, you can come back to receive the merit.
Of course, although the process is simple, it is not easy to complete.
Water beasts are cunning by nature and have extremely strong mobility. Their range of activities is extremely wide.
The process of issuing a task is usually as follows: after the people below discover traces of water beasts, they report it to the Sea Sentinel. After verification and confirmation, the Sea Sentinel releases the task.
From the time the mage sees the task and "accepts the order", and finally rushes to the "site", the time difference in this series of processes is at least one day.
Such a long time has passed, and the water beast that was first discovered has already left the place and disappeared.
This means that the Sea Sentinel Mage has to take his capybara companion along the vast waters, patiently searching for clues of the water beast bit by bit.
Although this search process is not as clueless as finding a needle in a haystack, it is definitely a huge and arduous project.
but and if you are unlucky, it is not uncommon to find nothing in the vast waters for a week or two, or even more than half a month.
Furthermore, even if you finally find the water beast, successfully killing it is still a huge challenge.
Water beasts have amazing speed and agility in the water.
Even with the assistance of capybaras who are good at moving in water, no Sea Sentinel mage dares to pat his chest and guarantee that he will be able to successfully complete the mission in one go.
After all, in the complex and ever-changing water environment, any unexpected situation may occur.
However, trouble is trouble, and the task of clearing out water beasts will always be the most basic, stable and long-lasting source of military merit for the Sea Sentinel Mage.
It can be said that most of every Sea Sentinel Mage's military achievements come from this type of mission.
The tasks issued by Sea Sentinel are also mainly based on this type of tasks.
And the tasks selected by Gaode this time happened to be water beast eradication tasks from various regions.
Although I really wanted to complete all the tasks, unfortunately I couldn't do it, so I had to choose one from them.
"I want to choose the one with the highest military reward. I have the magic berry to make a nest. It is much easier to find water beasts than other mages. I am not afraid of the difficulty of the task, but I am afraid that the reward of the task is not enough."
"[Esmere Lake Basilisk] mission, trouble." He handed his identification tag to the staff.
The staff member glanced at the task requirements and said: "Master Gaode, I would like to remind you that the information provided by the witnesses of the basilisk is extremely limited. We are not yet sure whether this basilisk is a first-level thin-winged water snake or a second-level black-winged scale snake."
We arrived at the scene to search and found that the basilisk was a second-level black-winged scale snake. You can come back to take over the mission, and it does not count as a mission failure. "
"But again, this trip was in vain and there will be no reward, so from a safe perspective, we still recommend that a second-level mage takes this mission."
"Are you sure you want to take on this mission?"
These key information are all explained in the mission introduction, and it is precisely these uncertain factors that make Gothe even more excited: If this basilisk is only a first-order thin-winged water snake, then the final military merit reward is third-class merit*2.
But if it is a second-level black-winged scale snake, with his level as a first-level mage, if he can successfully kill it, he will definitely gain another second-level meritorious service.
Tasks that can reward second-class merit are rare, especially when he is only a first-level player, second-class merit tasks are even rarer.
It is rare to encounter such a task, so there is no reason not to accept it.
Gaode had already thought about it, so he nodded decisively, "I'm sure."
"Okay," the staff saw Gaode's firm attitude, and quickly registered the mission, and then returned Gaode's identity tag, "Master Gaode, I wish you a successful mission."
Biboting.
Gaode has always been a person who is very receptive to others' suggestions.
Before setting off to carry out the [Esmere Lake Basilisk Mission], he came here to learn from the experience.
After hearing Gaode's intention, Biboting, as a person who specially cultivates pets for sea sentries, showed great enthusiasm and friendliness to Gaode, and had no reservations about the method of raising them.
They immediately arranged for a breeder to explain in detail to Gothe the common methods of domesticating earth-line creatures.
"If it were still an egg, domestication would be much simpler."
"We at Biboting have a special magic mark method that can help the mage inject his own magic into the eggs in an extremely subtle and stable way before they hatch."
"This is not a method of control, but allows earth-line creatures to feel familiar and close to this magic power while they are in the egg shell.
" In this way, after it hatches, it will have a sense of identification and following you, who has the same magical properties. "
"Once this step is completed, the rest will be even simpler."
"After the egg hatches, with preliminary laying work, you only need to wipe its body with a soft fabric with its own scent to let it become familiar with your scent.
At the same time, mix a little bit of your blood into the food you feed. The magic and breath in the blood can further deepen its connection with you.
If this continues for anywhere from one month to two months, it will become dependent on you. Later, you will feed it as a pet and cultivate it normally. Generally, there will be no chance of betraying the owner after adulthood. "The breeder explained in detail, describing every step in detail
"But the premise of all this is that it is a tameable earth-line creature. Some earth-line creatures are vicious in nature, and you cannot tame it no matter what method you use."
After speaking, the breeder enthusiastically took Gothe to the office building of Biboting and got a magic mark method for Gothe.
After returning to the dormitory with the alien eggs, Gothe couldn't wait to sit at the table and unfold the magic mark method, and began to study it.
It’s not that complicated.
As required, Gothe first entered a deep state of meditation, controlled his own magic power to be pure and peaceful, and then concentrated the magic power on his fingertips.
At this moment, his fingertips seemed to have become a gathering point of magic power, emitting a faint light.
Following, Gaode used his fingertips as a pen and gently touched the egg shell.
The egg shell trembled slightly under the touch of the fingertips, as if responding to Gothe.
He followed the magic mark method and moved his fingertips along a strange trajectory, slowly transporting a small amount of magic power in.
With every trace of magic power delivered, Gothe can feel the subtle reaction coming from the egg, as if he can hear the heartbeat contained in it.
This process lasted about half an hour before it was over.
After doing this, Gothe packed up a little and saluted, put on his capybara bag, took the alien eggs, and headed for the airship base outside Dorne.
He had to rush to do a task.
The reason why I brought the different civet eggs is because, according to the breeder at Biboting, this magic power delivery needs to be done at least once a day for a month to produce obvious effects.
As for the Plantagenet Dynasty, Gothe couldn't find a suitable place to raise the alien eggs.
For him, the most practical way is to bring the alien eggs back to the north.
In the north, there is an environment suitable for different civet eggs.
Once he brought the alien eggs to the North, he would at least spend more time in the Plantagenet Dynasty now, and generally would not stay in the North for more than a month.
Hence, before that, Gothe needs to complete the magic mark step before he can safely trust the alien raccoon in the north.
Of course, Gothe is still not sure whether the alien eggs can travel through the astral portal.
According to scientific definition, it should be regarded as a living creature.
But after all, it hasn't hatched yet, it's just an egg, so there's nothing wrong with it being an object.
How the astral portal will be judged, Gothe is not sure. Only after trying it will we know.
But he is also very open-minded and does not get too entangled in this. If it doesn't work at that time, he will find another way.
Hurrah~
The night is as dark as ink, and the sound of water is gurgling.
Gaode stood on the bow and rowed the oar.
It was late at night, and the water surface was dark, as if a huge black satin was spread out flat. A slight sound of water occasionally sounded on the lake, which made people's hearts tremble.
Gaode stood on the bow of the ship, but he didn't even light a lamp.
His left eye shines slightly.
Handora's Magic Eye has been deployed, and with its adaptively improved ability to see in the dark, his visible range is actually much wider than that of a light.
Of course, it would be better if you could light a lamp, but both thin-winged water snakes and black-winged scale snakes are extremely sensitive to light and can easily scare off snakes.
As for why we need to search for water beasts at night, it is not because Gothe was involved in "working overtime", but because these two kinds of water beasts are nocturnal earth-line creatures.
Even if there are gem sweetberries nesting in the daytime, they may not be able to attract the dormant snake heads.
————Just like when humans are sleeping, even if there is delicious food, they are not necessarily willing to wake up and enjoy it.
Lake Esmere, one of the three largest freshwater lakes in Byro County, belongs to the city of Broster.
The entire lake's water area is extremely wide, with no end as far as the eye can see.
Under the moonlight, the occasional sparkling waves on the lake shine with a mysterious atmosphere in the darkness.
Gauthe's search was centered on the point where the witness found the trace of the water beast, and then spread out in a circle around it.
Luckily, there was not only one witness, and the snake beast was seen more than once.
It’s a pity that I saw it at night, so the sight was not good.
In addition, when ordinary people encounter a water beast, the cold lake water will become hot to the feet. They just want to grow a pair of wings and escape, and there is no time to take a closer look at the face of the water beast.
Hence, these witnesses did not describe the appearance of the snake beast accurately, and the information remembered in panic would be distorted. Under these multiple buffs, the Sea Sentinel was unable to determine the true identity of the snake beast.
There was even an unlucky victim who most likely lost his life after being attacked by a snake beast.
Therefore, by connecting the sighting point with the snake beast's murder point, a rough range and direction of activity can be obtained.
Under the boat, Tuanzi has entered into serious working mode, started cruising mode, and watched the surroundings vigilantly.
Gothe, on the other hand, rocked the oar, dropped several jeweled sweet berries at regular intervals, and then waited aside for half an hour.
After half an hour there was no movement, he put away the gem sweet berries, went to the next point, and repeated the above action.
