A difficult matter had ended peacefully because of the unexpected appearance of a stranger. Lin Xiang looked at the characteristics of the noble youth and the attitude of the warriors toward him, thinking that such a person shouldn't be difficult to find. He decided to ask Kaya to use the forum index to find out if there was any information about the other party. At the very least, he had to know the other party's origin.
Another consideration was whether it was necessary to continue the bounty on the devil moth species.
With the diversity of insects, Lin believed that there would definitely be moth species that he hadn't collected yet that were more suitable for making magic silk, but he didn't know which corner of the maze they were in. However, except for a period of time when he could find new moth species, what came to him now was trouble, and there were no new surprises.
And now the breeding operation had begun, and even the cross-breeding on Fen's side had begun. Based on the current results, there were several cocoons spun by the devil moth larvae that already met his preset material standards.
The reason why it hadn't been cultivated on a large scale was that he wanted to see if there were better materials and matching methods. At least after all the existing cultivation plans were completed, he would make a comparison before deciding on the final moth species to choose.
In this way, the need to find new moth species didn't seem so great.
So, should he cancel the bounty?
Because he was considering matters related to the Adventurer's Guild's business, Lin Cai didn't leave directly. Just as he was thinking, the girl in charge of the counter led a person over carefully.
Turning his head, he saw that it was a mature woman dressed in rather plain clothes with a bit of vicissitudes, but it was still difficult to hide her charm. However, wrapped in thick clothes, it was impossible to tell whether her figure was plump or fat. A dirty and dark face, coupled with a few strands of hair hanging to the side that weren't tied up, gave off a weather-beaten feeling.
Since she was brought here, no matter how slow she was, she should know who she was looking for. So Lin asked, "This is?"
The girl at the counter introduced, "Lord Tripwood, this is Vana. She has information about your bounty mission and hopes to get some rewards from you. "
Seeing that the woman was uneasily rubbing the apron in front of her, and there was nothing beside her, Lin only had a look of confusion. Because the bounty mission he issued was for adventurers to directly capture live moths to turn in the mission, and only information was ignored. Such a requirement was clearly stated in the description of the bounty mission.
This was to prevent people from coming to claim a reward after hearing a piece of hearsay. On the other hand, as long as there was news on the forum, it could be found through Kaya's forum index. Furthermore, the information collected by the higher-ups was sufficient and detailed enough. Therefore, Marco Lin didn't think that he would need to obtain information from others.
The girl in charge of the counter was naturally aware of a certain someone's bounty request, but she said somewhat anxiously, "Sir, I know that you request to capture the target directly and hand it over to you. But Sister Vanna's husband had lost his life in an adventure more than a year before, and she was left alone with a child of five years old. Their family had come to live in the Holy City from other places. Now that something like this had happened, they didn't even have the money to return to their hometown. Now Sister Vana occasionally helps to clean up here, but our situation is not very good. "
The young girl pouted, feeling wronged. In fact, it was because she didn't know how to run the place. Although the sign of the Adventurer's Guild hung there, the popularity was so low that they couldn't afford to raise another person. A certain someone didn't know if the Mercenary's Guild had such a situation, but the Adventurer's Guild was facing a situation where the stronghold had expanded too quickly and was malnourished everywhere.
"So sir, can you listen to Sister Vanna's information and give her a little reward? Anything is fine. "
In this era, there were basically no scammers who relied on tears to cheat donations. And the story that the young girl said was not a special case. It could happen everywhere, and even more tragic ones were not mentioned. It was too difficult to live well in this world. Although a certain someone was living a comfortable life, this was because the hard days of rolling in the mud had been skipped.
Of course, a certain someone wasn't the merciful Guanyin Bodhisattva who helped people in distress. He shed blood and sweat in vain to transform the Lost Land into a better world. But in order to not become the legendary Virgin Mary, it was wrong to bite the bullet and say that he didn't want to help. Everyone had a compassionate heart. Not to mention orphans and widows …
Of course, it was impossible for her to have any devious thoughts. There was a Lich at home that could be rewarded and manipulated. Moreover, a certain someone was an otaku who transmigrated, not a prostitute. Plus, he was over forty and his waist wasn't good enough …
Lin didn't say anything unnecessary. After inviting the other party to sit down, he said, "Since you have the information I need, please tell me. I will give you a reward depending on the content. Is this okay? "
"Yes, sir, this is no problem." After sitting down, Vanna was encouraged by the young girl who had always taken care of her. She said, "My hometown is in the south, at the border of the Marquis of Khorasan's territory. There is a forest there. There is a King-level magical beast in that forest. It is a giant Demon Moth. "
A King-level magical beast, other than referring to the most powerful hunter in the area, also meant that the secular government recognized the magical beast as the ruler of the territory.
Lin frowned at this information and said, "I have heard rumors of a King-level Demon Moth in the south for a long time. If it is just a rumor, it has no value. "
Vanna, who had been questioned, anxiously said, "No, sir, I have seen that Demon Moth King with my own eyes. When it spreads its wings, it is as big as a lake. Its front legs are like the sickles of a praying mantis, and the patterns on its wings are like flames. With each flap of its wings, the flames will sway. It will also let out a very sharp cry that can be transmitted for tens of kilometers. Everyone who sees it will feel a sense of reverence. My hometown is near the edge of the forest. There, we don't see the Demon Moth King as a natural disaster. It has another meaning to us. It is our protector. "
Seeing Vanna's serious appearance, Lin couldn't help but smile. He said, "If it really is your protector, then is it really okay to tell me this information? Perhaps it will die at my hands because of this. "
Hearing this, the mature woman in front of him became uneasy. She returned to her original timid appearance and said, "I heard that sir only wants to capture the Demon Moth alive and not kill it. That is why I decided to tell you."
Although I didn't kill it directly, I am prepared to kill its descendants for ten thousand generations. In the end, he didn't say this out loud. He just thought about the authenticity of this eyewitness report. If this was true, then it was not worthless information.
At the same time, he waved his hand and the Cassette Cutting appeared in his hand. The weapon that suddenly appeared in the magician's hand scared the two women present.
However, the girl who worked in the guild was fine because she remembered the information about this magician. This only confirmed one of the points. But Vanna was really scared. Her vision and the world that she had come into contact with were not enough to understand this magician. So she was anxiously thinking about how she had offended this magician.
And the person who summoned the Cassette Cutting, of course, used a more violent method to confirm some things.
The communication in their minds was quick and secret. Lin Ping raised the Cassette Cutting and said to the mature woman in front of him, "If you have paid attention to the rumors about me, then you should know that I have a weapon that can read minds. This sword is that sword. But you don't have to worry too much. It can only read what you are thinking now. If you really saw the Demon Moth King with your own eyes, try your best to recall the situation of that day and then hold this sword. "
What he didn't make clear was that the Cassette Cutting could read more than just the memories that one desperately tried to recall. Instead, as long as one's thoughts flashed through one's mind, it would be captured by it. He didn't say this because he wanted to find out the other party's motive.
However, holding a sword that could read one's mind made Vana hesitate. Was the other party guilty of something, or what? Lin Ping looked at the mature woman in front of him and reached out her trembling hand to the blade. He knew that she had misunderstood something. He retracted his hand and said, "You don't have to hold the blade to cut blood or anything. Just hold the hilt. Don't misunderstand."
Only then did Vana heave a sigh of relief. She carefully took the box. Because she didn't know what to do, when she took the weapon that wasn't heavy at all, she stood in front of the sword. As she moved, the white flames on the blade flowed. It was very beautiful, and it made her lose her mind for a moment. Some messy thoughts also appeared in her mind.
Not long after, Lin took the Cassette Cutting back. It was rare that the sword didn't speak today. The two sides discussed in their minds and used the Whiteboard Technique to outline the scene in Vanna's memory.
It was a lake in the forest, and there was a huge moth on the lake. It spread its wings, and when combined, it was even bigger than the big lake below. If the trees beside the lake were used as a reference, it was estimated that the wingspan of this giant moth was close to 200 meters, and its body length was close to 100 meters. It was a standard behemoth.
Although the picture was only made up of simple lines, Lin Ping turned the scene in the memory into motion and continuously displayed it. However, in terms of FPS, it wasn't high, and it was a little worse than a page-turning animation. The traces of the freeze-frame were very obvious, but it also developed from a static picture to a dynamic one.
The Devil Moth King in Vanna's memory was just as she described. There were even more details that she didn't describe, but they were very important clues.
For example, this huge Devil Moth King didn't flap its wings at a high frequency. It could even be said that it was so slow that it could stay in the air. This was something that couldn't be explained by physics.
From this, it could be seen that this Devil Moth King had an amazing magical power. That was why it could use magic to maintain its flying state in the air. Otherwise, if this Devil Moth King used the frequency of an ordinary insect's wings, just the hurricane brought by its wings alone would make it a flying disaster.
In addition, the pair of sickle-like forelimbs that looked like a mantis didn't look friendly at all. This meant that the Devil Moth King was not afraid of close-range combat.
However, its body structure didn't look like an eagle's, which meant that it shouldn't have a diving attack. Even if it did, its speed shouldn't be fast. However, this judgment still needed to be reserved because he didn't have many opportunities to fight with flying Devil Moths, and he wasn't very familiar with their magic skills. In particular, the Devil Moth King wasn't an ordinary bird but a flying insect.
