"Find the target myself?" Garon nodded thoughtfully. "Are there any specific conditions or requirements?"
"As long as it's not too complicated. You only need to learn the basic framework at the beginning, then you can slowly expand." Emin instructed. "Alright, go. There's still one more morning, go find the totem you want to make. Remember, it has to be something you need, something you can use. Every creature has its own unique ability, don't just choose randomly. "
"Yes."
Garon nodded respectfully.
"Then I'll go wash up first. When you get it back, we'll officially start the demonstration." Emin yawned, turned and walked out of the room.
Garon found a large glass bottle and a pair of pig leather gloves, then went downstairs and left the small building.
There were many young men in the town in the morning. Most of them carried bows and arrows, hunting knives, and wore clothes made of fur. They walked in and out of the town in groups of three to five. Some were even carrying the beasts they had just hunted.
Garon walked along the main road of the town. The long gray robe he wore made the townspeople slightly curious. A few children had been playing and chasing each other, but when they saw him approaching, they immediately hid in a corner, secretly watching him cautiously.
Walking out of the town, there was a vast expanse of rolling hills and grasslands. Clusters of small trees were sparsely distributed, most of which were not dense enough for the trees to grow. The emerald green forest and the dark green meadow almost merged into one. A few white butterflies danced around the small lace of the meadow. From time to time, a flock of unknown birds would fly across the sky, letting out a shrill and weak cry.
Not far from the town, there was a small river three to four meters wide. This was the source of the famous Red River. It was the melted snow from the distant snowy peaks that reached into the clouds, unusually clean.
Garon walked to the bank of the Red River, squatted down, and began to rummage through the grass and moist soil to look for something.
"What kind of totem do I need?"
He asked himself.
"What kind of totem would be helpful to me?"
He parted the grass, and on the black soil, there was a group of black ants slowly crawling. He looked, but did not make a move. His gaze moved, and fell on another patch of dark green grass.
A fat green caterpillar was lying quietly on a willow leaf shaped blade of grass. It was covered in spikes, and its four small black eyes were lazy and listless.
On a small yellow flower on the right, there was a black wasp with a slender waist. It was crawling around in the stamen of the fingernail-sized flower. Its legs were covered in yellow pollen. It was obviously collecting pollen.
"Ants, caterpillars, wild bees …"
Garon shook his head slightly.
"Too weak. Although the structure is simple, even if it succeeds, it won't be of much help to me."
He stood up and continued to walk towards the grassland hills.
"If you want to help me, it's best if you have a certain amount of strength. That way, you can play a supporting role in life. They had to be able to fly so that they could be used for sending messages, scouting, and warning. It had offensive capabilities and a certain degree of defensive capabilities. If that's the case … the best choice would be birds. "
He looked at the forest not far away, where he could hear the crisp chirping of birds.
After crossing a few hills, he quickly chose the largest forest and walked into it.
The forest was lush and green, giving off a refreshing feeling. A few children were wandering in the forest, picking up something. These children were dressed in shabby clothes. Their faces were pale, and their bodies were pitifully thin. They carried huge baskets on their backs. Some of them were filled with plants and wild fruits, while others were empty.
Garon's entrance only caused these children to raise their heads and glance at him. Then, they ignored him and continued to dig with their heads down.
There were many birds perched above the forest, and there was a constant cacophony of noises.
Garon raised his head and looked carefully. There were many birds above the forest. There were five or six types of birds of different sizes. Most of them were black, and only a few were green or blue.
"They have to be slightly bigger, aggressive, and have good flying speed …" Garon realized that he didn't recognize any of the birds. He looked around and his gaze fell on a dirty little boy in the distance.
This little boy was wearing the same gray linen clothes as the others. He carried a huge basket on his back, and his hair was messy. However, there was a green parrot on his shoulder. He looked different from the other children.
Garon walked over and stood beside the little boy. "Is this your bird?" He tried to use a gentle tone to ask.
"Yes, sir. Do you have any orders for me? "The little boy stood up from his bent position and looked at him in confusion. This strange adult looked left and right in the forest. He didn't know what he was doing here.
"I want to ask, what types of birds are here? Do you know anything about them?" Garon took out a small copper bullet and threw it at the little boy.
The little boy hurriedly caught it. A copper coin might not be able to buy anything in other places, but it could still buy some snacks here. He immediately beamed with joy.
"Birds? I'm familiar with them. "
"Familiar with your bird! Familiar with your bird! "The green parrot on his shoulder shouted loudly.
"Shut up, Hans!" The little boy was angry. "If you do this again, I won't give you dinner!"
"Tell me properly. If you do, I'll give you another one." Garon looked at the green parrot with a smile.
"No problem. My sister likes to raise birds. After she left, I also liked them. I know a lot about them!" The little boy patted his chest.
"Familiar my ass! Familiar my ass! "
"Shut up!!" The little boy blushed and flicked the green parrot's head.
Garon couldn't help but laugh as he looked at this combination of man and bird. There was a very harmonious feeling.
"I want to find a type of bird that can fly fast, is strong, and has a certain degree of aggression. Do you know what types of birds there are?" He stated his requirements.
"You've found the right person!" The little boy wiped his snot that was about to flow out. "According to your requirements, the most suitable one is definitely an eagle."
"An eagle? What type of eagle is the fastest? "Garon nodded and asked.
"Our eagles here are not slow … and most of them are cunning blue eagles. They are not big in size, but they are very fast. They can scratch a person's skin in the blink of an eye! Their claws are the sharpest, and they like to steal chickens. "The little boy answered in detail.
"Are there any other birds? Or you don't have to have a bird. "Garon frowned and asked. Although the blue eagle met the requirements, he didn't like this kind of eagle that only knew how to steal chickens.
"If you don't have to have a bird …" The little boy scratched his head. "Oh! There's another type, but it's not a bird, it's a bug. "
"Oh? What is it? "Garon showed an interested expression.
"Fluorescent butterflies!" The little boy's face showed an uncomfortable expression. "This thing is as big as a washbasin. It's very strong, very beautiful, and very strange. Generally, butterflies are not fast, but they are very fast, even faster than ordinary birds. Only eagles can compare to them. And the most annoying thing is that they are highly poisonous. If people accidentally breathe in their powder, their whole body will be paralyzed and poisoned. If it's slightly more serious, people will die! It's very scary! "
"Oh? There are such butterflies? Where are they? Take me to see them! "Garon was suddenly interested.
"I won't go. Just keep going in that direction. Go straight, and you'll see those annoying butterflies soon. Their whole body is poisonous, and they occupy the entire small forest. If you see a very big blue butterfly without any other colors, then it must be them. "The little boy simply pointed in a direction and said.
"Thank you." Garon flicked the second copper coin in his hand, and strode in the direction the little boy pointed.
After leaving the small forest, Garon kept walking in the direction the boy pointed. His pace was very fast, and more and more small forests appeared around him. The traces of human activity gradually decreased, and the wheel and footprints on the ground also quickly disappeared.
In the distance, he could gradually see the white snowy peaks that reached into the clouds.
Soon, he saw the fluorescent butterflies that the boy mentioned.
Under the dark shade of the trees, blue butterflies glowed with a faint blue fluorescence, and danced in the shadows. It was as if their bodies were sprinkled with fluorescent powder.
These butterflies flew silently. The smallest was the size of a palm, and the largest had a wingspan of nearly a meter. Their long, furry bodies were revealed without a doubt, and looked very creepy.
Garon picked up a stone from the ground, squinted his eyes, and threw it casually.
Chi!
The stone was like a sharp arrow, tearing through the air, and accurately hitting the largest fluorescent butterfly.
Suddenly, like poking a hornet's nest, a large number of fluorescent butterflies rushed out from the surrounding forest, covering the sky and covering the earth as they rushed toward Garon. It was as if the blue spots of light had connected to form an ocean.
Garen kicked the ground with his foot, and with a crash, a large clump of black soil mixed with grass scattered in all directions, hitting the neon butterflies around him like raindrops.
In the midst of the puffing sounds, the blue spots of light fell and dimmed, and a pungent smell of poisonous powder filled the air.
Garon held his breath, and with a flash of his feet, he appeared in front of the largest fluorescent butterfly. His gloved hand picked it up, stuffed it into a glass bottle, and turned to leave.
Before he could go far, a large number of blue fluorescent butterflies suddenly appeared behind him. They were extremely fast, and could vaguely catch up with the sprinting Garon even though they were flying in a non-straight line.
Garon looked back, and with another burst of strength in his feet, he instantly accelerated, leaving the group of fluorescent butterflies behind.
His whole body trembled, and countless fine blue poison powder was quietly shaken off, blown behind him by the wind. Only when all the poison powder had disappeared did he regain his breath.
He lifted the glass bottle to take a look. The fluorescent butterflies inside were not completely dead, and were moving slightly in the bottle.
He was quite satisfied with this type of butterfly. It was not slow, it was highly toxic, and it was quite strong. Compared to ordinary insects that died with one step, this type of butterfly had a thick layer of cuticle, and its strength was comparable to that of a mouse. It would definitely have no problem delivering letters.
"The only shortcoming is that it is not hidden enough, but I am satisfied." Garon recalled the blue-scaled snake he had encountered before. Compared to that kind of creature totem, the fluorescent butterfly was a flying creature, and it was not in the diet of eagles. Even if it was a little conspicuous, its other advantages were enough to cover this shortcoming.

Inside the laboratory
Emin carefully wiped his mouth with a Bai Mao towel, and picked up the bottle of fluorescent butterflies to observe.
"For this type of butterfly, it is my first time making one, but I have studied butterflies before. Even though it is not very deep, but I still have some experience." He put down the bottle, "Are you sure you want the fluorescent butterfly?"
"Of course." Garon was standing at the side, and hearing this, he nodded in response.
"Alright then, a Luminarist will have a core totem, and a general supporting totem. As your teacher, I can make your first totem for free, consider it a gift for you. However, if you want to change your totem in the future, you will have to research and make it yourself. Understand? "
"Understood." Garon nodded.
"Alright then, let us begin."
