Uzov and Myr set off together to hunt again. These days, in addition to providing food for everyone, there was also the Black Dragon that came to eat from time to time. The huge consumption forced the two of them to hunt all the animals in the vicinity, even slaughtering a few magical beasts.
Because the rifles and Cassette Cutting provided by a certain mage were too powerful, the most troublesome part of hunting for the two of them was the process of transporting the prey. Searching or hunting was not a big problem. However, because there were no more creatures nearby, they had to walk a long distance before they could see any creatures that could move in the snow.
There were a few times when they wanted to find the Black Dragon that stole food and kill it. But it was as if the other party did not exist, never appearing in the range of the rifles. And these few days, they were preparing to leave, so of course, they had to stock up on more food. So Uzov and Myr set off again.
Looking at his Dark Elf companion who was wrapped up tightly, Uzov remembered the small trouble they encountered when they first started hunting. Most of the races that claimed to be cursed by sunlight did not dare to walk in the daytime. This was because Myr was brave enough to wear a large cloak and a hood, and she dared to wander around.
But there were a few times when she encountered magical beasts and had to fight in close quarters. She could not use her limbs and was in danger. It was also because of this that Uzov discovered such a problem and asked for help from the two mages, even though Myr was not too willing at first.
The knowledgeable Lich did not make a judgment too quickly. Instead, it was the other mage who kept creating miracles — Lin's various actions were no different from miracles in Uzov's eyes — who took a few glances and then did some strange things. For example, drawing blood, grabbing a woman's wrist, looking at her eyes and looking deep into her throat. It was all very confusing.
But even so, he made a judgment and said, "Don't worry, this is not a curse. This is just because of living underground for a long time and not being exposed to sunlight. Although the skin is dark, it is still caused by the lack of necessary pigment. You will feel pain when exposed to sunlight, but that is just a more serious sunburn, it is not fatal. Get used to it after more exposure to sunlight. Come to think of it, your settings are quite similar to the Dark Elves of the Faerun Continent. It was just that everyone had watched too much of the dual-wielding ranger and had forgotten that dark elves weren't used to crawling on the ground. Did they do it for the same reason? "
Although he did not understand most of the words, he did not know where the Faerun Continent was, and he did not know which dual-wielding ranger the Archmage was talking about. However, there were still a few key sentences in his words that made people understand.
First of all, it was not a curse. Second, sunburn. Third, get used to it.
Although the dark elf lady beside him was still skeptical, she was much bolder in her actions during the day. At least with the help of her druid spells, Uzov's hunting was much smoother.
She saw the pain that Malcolm felt from time to time as a form of training that she had been given. After all, it was just as the man had said. The stinging pain that would last for a long time under the sun did not cause him to be unable to move. Instead, he could always recover.
Originally, she would have brought along a crossbow and tried to help with the hunt. However, after a few days, she only brought close combat weapons and followed them out. Most of the time, she was only there to help with the rough handling of the prey at the scene. The few times she had encountered danger, it was also because of magical beasts that suddenly went into stealth mode and disappeared from the search map. Then, they launched a surprise attack, causing her to be in danger.
Under the tyrannical power of the Cassette Cutting, the Iron Yak magical beast, which was said to be invulnerable, was directly cut in half. If it were not for the personality of the sword, Malcolm would have snatched it back and worshipped it as the divine weapon of the tribe. However, she really did not dare to. As the legends said, those who could use this noisy weapon were indeed extraordinary people.
However, this crisis also made the two people who went out to hunt understand what the Archmage had warned them before they left: the rifle was only a prototype, and there were always imperfections. They still had to be careful when they went out.
The Archmage had already told the Archmage that magical beasts that knew how to hide their aura would disappear from the search map. However, he was busy repairing the Airship and did not have time to change the design of the rifle, so the Archmage only asked the two to be extra careful.
In fact, for Lin, as long as he changed the mode of searching for enemies, he could use other methods to find the enemy. However, that was a function that could only be used on the larger Arcane Eye. The super-small Arcane Eye that was installed on the rifle only had a single mode of searching for enemies, and there was no plan to improve it for the time being. The reason was really because he was too busy.
As the time to leave approached, no one seemed to have thought about the possibility of failure in repairing the Airship. Instead, there was an indescribable excitement about being able to leave this snow-covered mountain area as soon as possible. At the foot of the mountain, it should be the time when flowers bloomed in the warm spring.
Compared to the surface, the underground world was stuffy and hot. Malcolm, who had just arrived, was not used to it, but she also felt a sense of novelty. In particular, the flowing wind was something that she had never felt in the underground world. However, the snowy scenery on the mountain, other than the first time she felt that it was very beautiful, she would only complain about the terrible weather. This was the same for everyone. Wanting to leave as soon as possible was the common thought in everyone's mind.
However, just as Uzov and Malcolm once again packed up their prey and prepared to return, an abnormal light spot appeared on the search map, which alerted them.
Due to the classification of the light spots according to the standard of magic stones, it could also be said to be the color of the rainbow. In this snow-covered mountain forest, the two of them could only see a magic beast that was close to the green color. It was also at that time that a magic beast in stealth sneaked up on them and almost died in this forest.
This time, they saw a dark blue light spot. It would not be an exaggeration to say that it was purple. Magic beasts of this level had the qualifications to fight for the throne of nature in this land. The most likely was, of course, that black dragon.
The dark blue light spot was relatively close to the place where the Airship was being repaired. However, the weapon that could possibly break through the black dragon's scales was in their hands. After sensing it, the two of them abandoned the prey on their shoulders and ran back through the snow with all their might.
When they ran out of the forest and arrived at the large open space where the Airship was being repaired, what they saw was a thin and weak black dragon with a crippled body. However, that huge body, the figure with its head held high, and the aura of a dragon, all of these made people who saw it tremble from the bottom of their hearts.
A starving camel was still bigger than a horse. This sentence was also used in the Mystic Lands. However, looking at the huge creature in front of him, Uzov had to admit that a crippled black dragon was stronger than a human. Just based on its size alone, he did not feel that he had the confidence to fight it alone with the Cassette Cutting.
And that magician stood in front of the black dragon with his head held high, majestic and fearless.
"Ignorant human." The black dragon raised its left forelimb, which only had one finger left, and pointed at the forest. It spoke in the common language of the Mystic Lands in a loud voice, "I did not think that someone as stupid as you would leave such a muddled message."
"I did not think that you would really appear." Someone laughed awkwardly. Behind him were the others, led by Fen. After all, facing a black dragon was not a small matter. No one could sit still.
"As the Lord of Darkness, I will not leave this desolate land. But I hope that you can take this ignorant little thing away. We are a proud and powerful species. This child doesn't even have the qualifications to be emergency rations. He shouldn't stay in this cruel land where the strong prey on the weak. "As the black dragon spoke, it pushed out a human child beside its feet.
However, the child, who looked no more than three or four years old, was quite attached to the black dragon. Even though he was pushed away, he still ran back and hugged the black dragon's thick leg.
Seeing a human child by the black dragon's side, Lin said with some surprise, "I did not expect to see you, nor did I expect to see this little thing. Where are his parents? "
"We are not dragons who care about such mundane things. Seeing this child lying in the snow, alone. Rather than dying in the mouth of a wolf, it is better to keep him by my side and enjoy him when I feel like it. However, this child stinks beyond words. As noble as I am, how can I let such a lowly human live, polluting my breath and staining my sight. "
"It is fine to take him away. But I am mainly looking for you. You have not forgotten this, have you? "Lin said.
"Hmph." The black dragon used its one hand that was still intact to hold its lowered head. It looked at the human in front of it with contempt and said, "Weakling, what do you seek? This old and decrepit body? Dragon fangs and claws? Or do you wish to be like the heroes in the legends, bathing in dragon blood and making yourself invulnerable? "
After laughing twice, Lin changed the topic and said, "My neck is a bit sore from looking up and talking to you like this. Do you know how to use human magic? I want to have a good talk. "
After a moment of silence, the black dragon opened its mouth and spat out a hurried language that no one could understand. Then, the wandering power on the mountain gathered toward the black dragon in the center like a whirlpool, and kicked up a real snowstorm.
When the snowstorm settled, the black dragon's huge body had disappeared without a trace. And in the center of the snowstorm stood a tall old man with gray hair. One eye, a limp, a broken palm, and a skinny body.
The child who was originally at the black dragon's feet was startled at first. But after sniffing and smelling the familiar scent, he pounced forward and hugged the black dragon's right leg that had transformed into an old man.
"Speak, puny human. The great and honorable Lord of Darkness, Augustus, has condescended to hear your humble wish. Seize this precious opportunity that you may not encounter in your life. "
A certain person only felt a sense of shame at the black dragon's words. But to be honest, it was inexplicably not annoying. And in the natural freezer where he kept food outdoors, he put a wooden sign that said, "I am leaving, do you want to come with me?" It could be considered the intention of the invitation. In the end, he said, "I want to learn Dragon-Language Magic."
Coming to a magic-oriented world, and there were dragons, why not try to see the so-called Dragon-Language Magic?
