"Interesting." After pondering for a moment, the Black Earl seemed to have thought of something and laughed softly.
"I once guessed that the four goats were summoned by a special summoning spell. They had special abilities, and that's how they managed to trap Speedy."
The word "special" was used to refer to something that was different from the norm. Something that was different from the norm was rare.
The Black Earl said "special" three times in a row. The meaning of these three "special" was not equal, but progressive. It could be understood as targeting all the clams in the sea, targeting the clams that could produce pearls, and targeting the only clam that could produce the most perfect pearls among the clams that could produce pearls.
It was the rarest of the rarest, the most selective.
The probability of such a thing happening was extremely low.
Count Black couldn't help but laugh at himself. "Now that I think about it, it's kind of funny."
"Then what do you think, mister?" Angor asked.
"It has nothing to do with the summoning spell. It's the shepherd's ability."
"I'm sure this shepherd is a wind element Rhythm apprentice. But he's not just a Rhythm apprentice."
Dorcas frowned. "A dual-element talent?"
The Black Earl replied, "No, he's a wind elementalist. It's just that his wind is a little special."
At this point, the Black Earl looked at Karel. "You've faced his wind before. What do you think is special about it?"
Kael was surprised. He tried to recall the shepherd's wind he sensed back in the arena. The wind was gentle and heavy, violent and tranquil. His wind was very changeable, and it gave Cael a very special feeling …..
Kael pondered over his words and hesitated for a long time before saying, "It feels like his wind is alive."
The Black Earl said, "You have sharp senses."
"It's really a living wind?!" Kael exclaimed. "What I mean is, wind can also be alive?"
Black Earl: "Why can't it be alive? Isn't Chuling the living wind? "
Count Black then looked at Angor and Dorcas. Dorcas and Kael were both confused. Angor, on the other hand, was squinting his eyes as if he had thought of something.
"What? Do you have an answer already?" Count Dark stared at him.
"Nope. I just thought of someone."
Angor saw that the count was still looking at him. "It has nothing to do with this."
Black Earl: "You should know that inspiration doesn't come out of nowhere, right?"
"I know. But the person I'm thinking of has nothing to do with it."
Count Dark glanced at Angor and changed the topic. "I'm not sure about the Shepherd's ability yet. But Speed Ling reminded me of something."
"There's an interesting wizard in the Moon Frost Union who published a paper in 'Expedition into Planes'. This paper is very interesting. It's called 'The Will of Flame'. "
"The 'Will of Flame' thesis talks about how to give a flame willpower, and how to evolve into a flame creature after it has willpower."
Dorcas suddenly spoke up, "I think I've seen this issue of 'Expedition into Planes' before."
"It's one of the main articles in 'Expedition into Planes'. It takes up almost half of the pages. But it's all guesses that can't be realized. Even the author of the paper said that it's only a reasonable guess. "
"Reasonable? Heh. Not a reasonable guess. More like an idealized one.
"Because of this paper, the issue of Expedition into Planes was criticized by many wizards. Even in my tavern, there were people who scolded this matter, saying that this paper was published through the back door of Expedition into Planes."
"After that, the Moon Frost Union never published any more papers in the following issues of 'Expedition into Planes'. That's how they managed to calm the public opinion." Dorcas paused and tried to recall. "I think it's the 245th issue of 'Breath'."
While Dorcas spoke, Angor also tried to recall. Before going to the Abyss Plane, Angor read a lot of 'Expedition into Planes'. Wizard Madelyne also prepared a list of journals for him, telling him which ones were worth reading and which ones weren't.
Among them, the 245th issue included 'Spring Sacrifice' and 'Breath' supplements. Madelyne only recommended 'Spring Sacrifice', and 'Breath' didn't include 'Breath' in the list.
Angor finally realized why he didn't remember this paper when he read so many issues of 'Expedition into Planes'. So he just happened to skip this one.
But after hearing what Dorcas and Black Earl said, Angor understood why Wizard Madelyne didn't recommend this one.
Giving a flame willpower and turning it into an elemental creature? This did not sound reliable, and according to Dorcas, even the author himself had made a "reasonable guess". To put it bluntly, it was "imagination". That was even more unrealistic, so it was normal for Madeleine not to recommend it.
Angor believed that even if he read that issue, he would probably complain about it too. But since Black Earl suddenly mentioned this paper, did it mean that the thesis in the paper could actually be realized?
Earl Black: "You're right. That paper did encounter a lot of criticism, but as far as I know, that paper didn't get in through the back door. It did produce some results, but the author didn't write it down."
"Sir, you mean to say that the method in that paper can really give the will of fire?" Dorcas asked in surprise.
"I don't know if the paper can give a flame willpower. But the author did some experiments in a control group, and he did find some unusually active flames, which seemed to be caused by willpower. But due to the author's health condition, he couldn't keep trying, so the experiment ended there. "
At this point, the Black Earl added, "This information should be correct, because when I was talking to Wizard Monchi, he personally mentioned it."
Talked to Mister Monkey?! The highest leader of Moonfrost Union?!
Dorcas looked at the Dark Earl in surprise, but he quickly understood. It made sense. Black Earl was on the same level as Monkey's Pavilion. Everyone knew that Mister Monkey wanted to become a legend, so it was normal for him to talk to his peers to improve himself.
Angor looked at Black Earl. "If you can't confirm the validity of the paper, why did you mention it? Also, what does the paper have to do with the Shepherd? "
"I don't know if 'Flame Willpower' is valid or not, and I never paid much attention to it. But when I saw the Shepherd, I noticed that he has something in common with the author of the paper. "
"The Shepherd looks like an ordinary wind elemental acolyte, while the author looks like an ordinary fire elemental Magus." The Dark Earl emphasized the word 'ordinary', "But are they really ordinary? How can an ordinary fire wizard give a flame willpower? "
At this point, Earl Black finally revealed the name of the author of this thesis.
"He's not an ordinary fire wizard. He's the author of the paper. His name is … Winchester."
Winchester?! Angor was shocked when he heard the name.
It was not only because he had seen Winchester before, but also … with the mention of this name, he finally understood why the Dark Earl would suddenly talk about a paper that seemed to have nothing to do with the Shepherd.
The reason was now clear. This Magus with the nickname "Blazing Blood Flame" was an extremely unique Fire Magus.
He was a person who had undergone a qualitative change in fire!
Coincidentally, when Count Dark mentioned that the Shepherd might be more than just an ordinary wind apprentice, Angor also thought of someone else.
Of course, it was not Winchester. It was Nausica's good friend, the one who almost stopped Angor on the third level of Sky Tower — "Sleeping Dripping Stream" Shiliew.
Just like Winchester, Shiliew was an elementalist, while Shiliew was a water wizard.
Once he put all the pieces together, he knew what Count Black meant.
"A person who has undergone a qualitative change in wind? My Lord, do you mean to say that the Shepherd is the one who has undergone a qualitative change in the wind?
Count Dark looked at Angor in surprise. He hadn't revealed the answer yet, but Angor had already guessed it.
One had to know that the fact that Winchester was a person who had undergone a qualitative change in fire was something that very few people knew about.
"That's right. I think the Shepherd is a wind wizard," Black Earl said, "Winchester is a fire wizard, and he's also Wizard Monchi's student. I've heard from Monchi that Winchester's thesis could only be realized by Elemental Transformers. "
"Winchester took a small step forward. Unfortunately, Winchester's body was weak, and he would vomit blood whenever he used his ability. So he could only write the latter part of the paper by guessing.
"If the core thesis of that paper is correct, and Wizard Monchi's guess is also correct, then the only person who can give the elements a will, and even let the elemental will have the embryonic form of an elemental creature, can only be an elemental mutator."
"The answer goes without saying. The Shepherd isn't just a rhythm apprentice, he's also a Wind Essence Changer."
When everyone heard this, they came to a realization.
From these clues, although there were still some flaws, the logic finally made sense. Indeed, the Shepherds had to be someone who had undergone a qualitative change in the wind to be able to imbue the wind element with their will.
This was much more reliable than Black Earl's "special summoning skill, summoning a special summoned creature, and this special summoned creature even has a special talent".
The Black Count said, "However, can someone who has undergone a qualitative change in the wind really so easily bestow a will to the elements? Why do those strange goats and that shepherd dog have physical bodies? I think the Shepherd might have read the paper and been inspired by it, but he should have other secrets. "
When the Black Count said this, he stopped.
As for what other secrets the Shepherd was hiding, it would be difficult to find out just by analyzing them.
Still, Black Earl managed to guess that the Shepherd was a wind wizard just by looking at some clues from Speed Spirit. Angor was impressed.
The difference between different people's experience and their ability to make judgments was often reflected in such details.
"If Speed Spirit is right, those black-faced goats will become wind elemental creatures soon …" Angor muttered, "I'm looking forward to their future."
Both Dorcas and Kael nodded in agreement.
They were not Elementalists, but studying elemental abilities was a compulsory course for every wizard. Besides, after becoming a wizard, every wizard would look for elemental companions.
In this case, almost all wizards would pay attention to papers related to elementalism and information about elemental creatures.
Even Dorcas, who did not study elemental magic, wanted to know what was the difference between natural elemental creatures and human-bred wind elemental creatures.
The four Black Faced Goats that knew how to cooperate with each other and were also intelligent. In their eyes, the future was truly promising.
It was a pity that they would not be able to find out the answer to these questions. The future was full of uncertainties. Whether the Shepherd could create a wind elemental creature was still unknown. Even if they succeeded, they couldn't possibly keep an eye on the Shepherd every day. They could only hope that in the future, when the Shepherd succeeded, he would be willing to share the fruits of his labor, just like Winchester.
But it would be difficult. The Shepherds had no background to speak of, and the adepts of the southern region were in dire need of elementium creatures. Unlike the Winchester, the Shepherds did not have Master Monkey to rely on. It was very likely that they would disappear without a trace.
Everyone shook their heads and sighed.
While everyone was paying attention to the Shepherd, the duel on the field had also reached its climax.
Wa Yi versus Golem. Under normal circumstances, Wa Yi had no chance of winning. However, as a Bloodline apprentice, Golem did not seem to be doing well in this battle.
It was obvious that Golem was not paying attention all this time, and he seemed to be restraining himself.
It did not seem like Golem was worried about hurting Wa Yi and getting blacklisted by the Noah Clan. Ghostly Shadow also had the same problem, but Ghostly Shadow was not worried at all.
This puzzled the crowd.
However, the Golem's restraint also gave Wa Yi an opportunity.
Wa Yi was already in a state of anger. He activated his Noah Bloodline, and with Gaia's Strength, his defense was extremely strong. He did not lose to the Golem by much.
Now that the battle had reached its climax, Wa Yi even had a slight advantage. This surprised the crowd.
Dorcas, in particular, was amazed. He had thought that Wa Yi's battle instincts were almost useless after staying in Mesopotamia for so many years. He did not expect Wa Yi to still be hot-blooded.
In a battle with anger, one would often become rash due to hot-bloodedness. However, Wa Yi was different. It was obvious that although Wa Yi's attacks were aggressive, when it came to the Golem's counterattack, he knew when to advance and when to retreat.
To increase his courage and strength through madness, yet still be able to find reason in the midst of madness. This was something that even Dorcas would find difficult to do.
Under such circumstances, Wa Yi gradually increased his advantage.
The more the Golem fought, the more passive it became. No one knew what kind of psychological burden it had. However, from the way it looked at the gray merchant and the evil woman, it could be guessed that the Golem's current situation was related to the gray merchant and the evil woman.
A few more minutes passed.
Wa Yi had actually used Noah's Secret Art in a relaxed state. The Golem was caught off guard and was almost completely surrounded by the Earth Spikes.
If its range of movement continued to be limited by the Earth Spikes, the Golem would definitely be defeated in less than two minutes.
At this time, the Golem finally made up its mind.
It slowly took off the mammoth mask, revealing a very simple and honest face.
Then, under the watchful eyes of the crowd, the Golem took out a blood-red object and pressed it against its forehead.
The blood-red object looked like a translucent glass ball. However, when it touched the Golem's forehead, blood-red buds began to spread on the "ball". These buds continued to grow and penetrated deep into the Golem's skull.
The whole scene made people feel physically uncomfortable.
Several seconds later, a blood-red organ that looked like an eye appeared on the Golem's forehead.
Angor was still trying to figure out what the bloody eye on the Golem's forehead was. Dorcas' expression changed. "That's … an ownerless organ!"
