In the end, although he didn't want to admit it, this thing really did resemble Mothra.
If this Devil Moth King's ecology matched that of other moths, or was similar to that of the Tokyo Treasure Monster, then it was understandable why there were so few sightings of this Devil Moth King. There were only a lot of rumors that didn't sound very reliable.
Moths spent most of their lives as larvae, and the lifespan of adults was very short. This meant that this Devil Moth King might be like Mothra, spending most of its time as an egg or a cocoon. Only when certain conditions were met would they appear in their adult form. After it was done, it would die, and then use some unknown method to leave behind offspring.
Following this train of thought, if one wanted to obtain the cocoon of this Devil Moth King, it would be the same as cutting off the Devil Moth King's roots. And if a king-level magical beast that ruled over a territory fell, it might not be a good thing for the civilized world.
First of all, there was the commotion caused by the magical beasts fighting for the king. After the loser left, there would be pursuit and destruction along the way. And the establishment of a new king did not mean that it would defend its old territory. It might expand, or it might shrink. No matter what, it would have an impact on the neighboring civilized world.
Regardless of whether he could win or not, just looking at the impact of the aftermath, he had to carefully consider whether he should make a move or not. On the other hand, even if he did manage to capture the cocoon of the Devil Moth King, how would he extract the cocoon?
Whether the cocoon could be used or not, he would have to think about it later. If the adult of the Devil Moth King was so large, it could be imagined that the cocoon of its larvae would be about the same size. Just thinking about how to deal with this kind of palace-level cocoon was enough to give him a headache.
If he didn't have a proper plan and acted rashly, it wouldn't be his style at all. Other things aside, if he really killed this Devil Moth King, the spoils of war would have a shelf life, and after that, it would be gone. And before he made a move, he didn't have any preparation or plan in this regard, so he could only be flustered when it came to it. In the end, he might only be able to keep a little bit of the spoils, then what was the point of going through so much trouble?
So if he wanted to deal with this Devil Moth King, there were still many problems waiting to be solved before he could decide whether to make a move or not.
On the other hand, king-level magical beasts had intelligence that was not inferior to humans, but their morals and values were different from humans, and their strength was quite different, so there was a conflict. But considering that the locals called it 'Guardian', perhaps he could use a simpler way to solve his needs.
Lin, who was deep in thought, did not say anything. When he thought of something, he looked up and saw two pairs of eyes staring straight at him. He smiled, after confirming that she had seen the Devil Moth Devil Moth King, he pointed to the scene he to show to her with his Whiteboard technique, and said, "This is the scene in your memory, right?"
Lin's't to't's's nodded. ''s to Lin's to him to to her to him to't.

To an ordinary family, 10 gold coins was already an astronomical sum of money. Of course, Vana was overjoyed. But she didn't agree immediately, and asked, "My lord, what is the other reward?"
"I can provide you with a job, which is to come to my house to help. I can provide you with lodging and food, and you can also bring your children to live with you. You will also get an extra '' 2 jiang's' (2 silver) every month. "
The exchange of gold and silver was not a simple decimal system, but 20 silver was equal to 1 gold. A monthly salary of 2 silver was already above average for an ordinary person.
Although 2 silver coins was a far cry from 10 gold coins in terms of monetary value, the former was a one-time deal, and the two parties had nothing to do with each other. The latter, however, was a long-term meal ticket, and it paid particular attention to the long term. It wasn't easy for an ordinary person to decide between the two.
Perhaps her life hadn't reached its end yet, but Vana, who was still moving forward with difficulty, didn't make a hasty decision. Instead, she mustered up her courage and asked, "Sir, if I am willing to accept that job, what will I mainly do?"
Lin didn't hide anything and replied, "I came to the Holy City at the beginning of this year, and thanks to Dean Kaban, I became a teacher. I bought a house near the school as a place to live. But the house is a bit big, and there are very few people in charge of taking care of it, only my two apprentices. I have long wanted to hire a few more people to help with the housework, but I haven't done it yet. And you seem to need a stable job, so I'll give you a chance. Also, don't you have a child? I also have a three to five year old child. For a child, having a playmate of the same age to grow up with is better than being alone. "
"My lord, you have a child?" Vana asked.
She knew what he was worried about, after all, serving a young master and having a childhood playmate were two different things. Lin shook his head and said, "He is an orphan, and I adopted him. I don't have any children of my own, and I don't have much time to take care of him. I want to hire you because you have a child of the same age, so I want them to be companions. "
"My lord, please give me some time to think about it." Vana didn't answer in a hurry. She wasn't familiar with the world of magicians. Although life was a little difficult now, it wasn't as if she didn't know anything and just jumped in without knowing anything.
Lin nodded and understood her approach. In the environment before transmigrating, one had to first inquire about the reputation of the company, whether there were any illegal activities, whether it was a black-hearted sweatshop or not. Don't dig your own grave for a little money.
Ordinary people who wanted to make a living in the Holy City would inevitably have to deal with magicians. Although the struggle between magicians wouldn't affect them as much as possible. But magicians were still divided into different levels, and the personality of the person they followed was directly related to their own life, so they couldn't help but be cautious.
But understanding didn't mean that someone had to waste too much time here. Lin said, "In that case, I will wait here for a while and make a decision before I leave. By the way, if you feel that the environment is not suitable, you can leave at any time, and I will still give you the reward of Kiel. By the way, I want to eat something. Mary, please give me some broth and bread. Also, take down my commission, and cancel the reward. "
"Is the commission going to be canceled?" The girl named Mary, who was stationed at the reception of the guild, confirmed.
"Yes. As you can see, there are no new types of people coming to the door recently, or they are looking for trouble. Or is there news on your side that you have accepted a reward mission, but the people from other places haven't arrived yet? "
"There is no such news." The girl shook her head and said.
"Then cancel it. Also, I want food. "Lin said.
"Okay, I'll be right there." Mary pulled Vana and ran into the kitchen behind the counter.
Looking at the two people leaving, Lin Sanjiu guessed that Mary would show all the information that the guild wanted to sell for money to Vana. Speaking of which, those two people were too naive and didn't have the slightest awareness of magicians' methods.
Lin Sanjiu dared to give such a condition because the moment Vana held the Cassette Cutting, her background and current situation were almost completely seen through by the sword. Then, the Cassette Cutting spoke in her mind.
Mary's words about Vana were correct. She was indeed from other places and lost her husband more than a year ago. Raising a child alone, although life was a little difficult, it was far from a situation where there was no way out and no one to turn to for help. In addition to helping clean the guild, she also washed clothes for people to earn a little money.
Since there was no special purpose, and there was no mastermind behind the scenes, then there was nothing wrong with providing a moderate amount of help. She should be free to come and go as she wished. Also, because she wasn't facing a dead end, she would be grateful to Lin Sanjiu and give herself to him. Those were all unnecessary thoughts.
Anyway, finding someone to help the two girls with the housework was an idea that Lin Sanjiu had for a long time, but he hadn't been able to find a suitable candidate. If Lin Sanjiu asked the dean and the others for this, it would be difficult to guarantee that some people with strange motives would be given the job. Whether or not Lin Sanjiu should use the Cassette Cutting to investigate the other party, and what could he do even if he found out who the other party was, were all difficult questions.
Lin Sanjiu happened to meet the other party here, and the other party's background was clean, so Lin Sanjiu opened her mouth to recruit the other party.
While waiting for the other party to consider and eating lunch, Lin Sanjiu wanted to investigate something, and that was the identity of the noble young man who scared the group of Warriors away.
Opening the Magic Mirror screen was similar to how an ordinary person opened the forum, but the core was completely different. What Lin Sanjiu opened was the forum index page used internally, and the connection was hidden in the various Magic Towers that had established forum servers, including the Tower of the Great Sage. Because it was stored separately, there was no possibility of an ordinary user accidentally discovering it.
Because he didn't know the name of the noble young man, Lin Sanjiu could only search based on his appearance. But no matter what keywords he used, he couldn't find any information that matched the young man he saw.
There were basically two possibilities in this situation. First, he didn't find the right keywords, so all the content that came out was irrelevant. But after experiencing the various search engines on Earth, this kind of thing could only be described as inconceivable, so Lin Sanjiu leaned towards the second possibility.
That young man was a secret existence that no one dared to mention, didn't want to, and didn't dare to, so there was no record of him on the forum, and naturally, he couldn't be found. After all, the forum of the mysterious land only had a history of seven or eight years, and the users were mainly in the southwest peninsula. The Holy City had entered the stage of large-scale use in the last one or two years, so strictly speaking, the accumulation of data wasn't much.
What was more unusual was that some organizations that specialized in the circulation of information, such as the Association of Thieves, didn't have any information about the young man in their internal files.
It seemed that Lin Sanjiu had to find an opportunity to ask the dean of Kabambai Academy to see if this local tyrant had any relevant clues.
Putting aside the matter of the noble young man, Lin Sanjiu pulled up all the rumors about the Devil Moth King on the forum and checked them one by one. There was a lot of content, most of which were absurd and unbelievable, but a few of them still had some reference value.
