In the cold winter weather, I couldn't help but break out in a cold sweat. Perhaps I really was a troublesome person. This attribute was deeply engraved in my fate. Even if I occasionally stayed at home to play with my children for a day, I would still encounter the end of the world. Perhaps I was an unlucky person like myself.
"Jingle, check again. See if the leaf was buried too far away or in the wrong place. This courtyard is filled with your power. It's possible that the connection between you and the leaf was disrupted," I said to Jingle in a hurry. Then, I turned to Anveena. "Medivh is missing too? When did it go missing? "
"I didn't see it at noon yesterday," Anveena floated in the air. The snowflakes passed through her body and landed on the ground. It seemed that she had completely entered a phantom state. "I thought it went to the sky to practice flying. Medivh's body grew too fast, so it had to learn how to fly in advance. It was different from a normal crow. It had to figure out how to fly by itself. It just learned how to flap its wings not long ago. It often flew out to play these two days. However, it was usually very careful. It would hide behind the clouds where humans can't see … Ah, let's not talk about that. The important thing is that it didn't go home last night! I couldn't feel its energy in the nest, and it didn't come to greet me! "
"Could these two incidents be related?" My sister already knew that Medivh didn't return last night. She also bumped into Jingle, who was looking for the leaf in a panic. She suddenly became worried. "Could it be that Medivh took the leaf away?"
"I don't think so …" I couldn't help but have my suspicions. "A crow scooped up a leaf from the soil and absconded with the stolen goods? What is it after? Besides, Medivh is a very obedient crow to Anveena. She wouldn't leave without saying goodbye. "
"There's definitely a connection." Lin Xue had come over unknowingly. She was holding a black feather in her hand. The color of the feather looked like a crow's feather, but it was bigger than any crow feather I had ever seen. It glowed with a dark blue metallic luster and its edges were as sharp as a blade. If I looked closely, I could even see that there was a dark cloud of energy slowly revolving at the base of the feather. That was Medivh's feather. "I found this. It was under the roof in the snow, which means that Medivh dropped it before it started snowing. This feather tells me that the young Raven God took away Jingle's leaf. However, this is only a feather and the information it can produce is very little. I could see that the crow was undergoing some kind of great change, but … I didn't know what it would become. There are too many uncertainties. "
I looked into Lin Xue's eyes. There was a mysterious white halo in her eyes. "What else? Will it come back? Can you find out where it is? "
Lin Xue squinted her eyes. "It will come back very soon and it is very healthy. That's not a bad thing, but Jingle might lose her leaf … I suddenly saw a very powerful scene just now. Guess what happened to the leaf? "
I shook my head in confusion. However, I suddenly saw Sandora walking over from the corner of my eye. I was instantly enlightened. "Eat?!"
… Can you guess why I suddenly thought of this word? Alright, there's no need to guess. Don't tell Sandora …
Lin Xue's lips twitched. "You even know how to answer first. That's right. Medivh ate the leaf." As she said, she circled around the uncle and pointed at a patch of grass covered in snow. "It's here. Medivh accidentally dug out the leaf yesterday morning. It hasn't changed its habits as a bird and the Goddess of Life's leaf seemed to be very attractive to it. So, it ate the leaf. "
Anveena was dumbfounded. She asked carefully, "Doesn't Medivh not need to eat? It never eats food … "
"What if it only wanted to evolve?" Sandora's voice sounded. "It just hasn't eaten anything since it was born. It doesn't mean that it can't eat. Plus, I have always believed that a living thing that can't eat is incomplete …"
We collectively ignored the second half of Sandora's sentence and thought that the first half of her sentence was very likely.
"Is Jingle's leaf finished just like that?" Xiao Budian jumped onto my shoulder with a pata sound, and said with a crying face, "Dingdang's first leaf was eaten just like that?"
I instantly felt a headache coming on as I thought to myself that the real trouble had just begun. If what Lin Xue saw wasn't wrong (which was pretty much a given), Medivh would have been able to easily change her meals but she ended up swallowing Dingdang's most precious leaf. Although in my opinion, that thing was as useless as a baby tooth, it meant a lot to Jingle. She even carefully planted it in the soil.
Although she had completely forgotten about it after being planted in the soil for a few days …
"I think we should find that bird first." Icetis looked at Jingle sympathetically. "We can't do anything about the little one's leaf. But I think we don't have to be too disappointed. The Goddess of Life's leaf can regenerate continuously. At most, it will be planted again in 50,000 years. Also, they basically have a short period of enthusiasm for everything, including planting their own leaf. After ten days or half a month, Jingle will forget about it. "
The little bean jumped up and down on my shoulder. She wanted to protest, but after thinking for a while, she sat down and muttered, "You're right. Hey, Ah Jun, Jingle is in a bad mood. Can she eat two more milk candies today? "
I felt a deep sense of helplessness. I thought to myself, Even if you're stupid, you shouldn't be so obvious …
It wouldn't be easy to find Medivh. If we lost an ordinary bird, it wouldn't be able to fly beyond the five districts and ten counties. But once Medivh learned how to fly, it wouldn't be as simple as one or two times the speed of sound. Not to mention, it had learned how to jump through space from Anveena. According to Anveena's calculations, if Medivh were to rush at full speed, it would take more than one day to circle the earth three times. Plus, we didn't know which direction the bird was flying in. How were we going to find it?
Of course, we had experienced agents of the Empire, a wide range of floating probes in the atmosphere, and a full spectrum invisible satellite in space that could scan the entire planet. But all of these were based on the condition that we knew Medivh's current state. Lin Xue's prophecy indicated that the crow was mutating. The energy signature that was recorded during the previous physical examination was useless. We immediately used the invisible satellite in orbit, but we couldn't find the crow's energy signature on Earth. After Sandora retrieved some of the surveillance data from yesterday, she found that a few probes at the edge of the city had recorded a flash of Medivh's figure. At that time, it was traveling at a speed of Mach 135 (This was definitely due to the spell that it had just learned. Otherwise, you wouldn't be able to explain this from aerodynamics). After that, the probes lost sight of it. Medivh was a special member of the First Family, and it was a creature that could fly. Under normal circumstances, our atmospheric surveillance equipment wouldn't deliberately track its figure. If that strange crow god accidentally learned the invisibility skill, then it would be really troublesome.
After a short discussion, Sandora and I both agreed that this matter was actually very dangerous. Medivh still didn't know how to control its own power, but its growth rate had obviously exceeded its ability to control itself. Its shadow breath was now almost enough to take out a tank brigade head-on. If it lost control, its power would be astonishing. It was very smart, but its current intelligence wouldn't exceed that of a five or six-year-old human child. Occasionally, it would even throw a tantrum. Do you know what the most dangerous thing in the world is? Let me tell you, it's a mischievous child. This kind of creature is the most unreasonable. The main purpose of their existence is to destroy the world, and at the same time, drive their parents crazy. The current Medivh is equivalent to a mischievous child, and this mischievous child can spit out shadow arrows that can burn through tanks. At the same time, it is also invulnerable …
Previously, I had placed a seal on Medivh to turn it into an ordinary big bird outside of training. But now, the seal has obviously lost its effectiveness. Probably after it ate Jingle's leaf, it produced a violent energy expansion that destroyed the simple 'chain' that was set according to its original power.
The few children were still playing in the snow in the yard, carefreely, while the few of us went back to the house to study the matter of finding the bird.
Sandora first expressed her opinion, "Right now, we don't know what the bird has mutated into, so we can only search all over the world for the locations with strange energy fluctuations. As long as there is a strange energy fluctuation, we will send people to check the situation. I have already connected the satellite, and it is estimated that we will be able to draw a global energy snapshot. Many of Medivh's powers don't originally exist on Earth, such as shadow and arcane magic. If we find these energy hot spots, we will probably be able to confirm Medivh's location."
"It's the place where it stayed," Lin Xue added. "The bird is still running around. I just saw it fly over the Alps … But that was yesterday afternoon. When I observe these extremely close events, there will be a delay. "
I nodded to express my understanding. Although Lin Xue's power was strong, there were many limitations, especially in the current situation. If Medivh stayed in one place, it would definitely be seen by Lin Xue on the spot. However, the bird was running around the Earth all the time. Lin Xue was a little mad. After all, activating the prophecy required time and concentration, but Medivh only needed to start and change gears. It was equivalent to holding an astronomical telescope to look for a cat on the Xizhimen overpass. If you couldn't find it, it was definitely not the telescope's fault …
"Now, the idle Empire soldiers have something to do again." Lin Xue sighed. "We need a group of people who are widely distributed on Earth, have good connections, understand the environment, and are highly mobile to cooperate with the satellite to capture Medivh. There is only one most suitable candidate …"
I nodded with a heavy heart. "That guy … Who is going to get him out of the detention room?"
Lin Xue was quite surprised. "Wow! Sicarro has been caught? I saw that he was quite active a while ago. "
Sandora covered her face. "He had a big plan two days ago, but as soon as he left the house, Ling Meng led over four hundred city guards to stop him. Ling Meng was receiving her salary that day, so she was in a state of excitement."
When the global satellites were activated to search for the arcana and shadow reactions on Earth, Sicarro finally came out of the confinement room and saw the light of day again. He already knew the mission, so he first led a few of his most capable subordinates to the outskirts of the shadow city to hold a rally. The scene was very spectacular. Sicarro's special forces had their own specialized organization and uniforms when carrying out missions on Earth. Generally, they were divided into a CD team, a palmistry team, a train ticket team, a certificate team, an old Chinese medicine team, and an ancestral psoriasis team. When we heard the news and rushed over, we saw at least ten thousand people divided into twelve phalanxes standing in the square. Each phalanx was neatly dressed in a black super uniform, a Taoist uniform, a Chinese tunic suit, a white coat, or a yellow vest. I almost thought I had arrived at Lanxiang …
These soldiers of the Empire, when they're not fighting, they're really bored to death.
"Boss, I promise to complete the mission!" Sicarro's face was glowing as he expressed his determination to me. He looked full of righteousness. If I didn't add subtitles, people would probably believe me if I said that he was going to blow up a bunker. I was quite interested in this fellow's activities over the past two days. I asked curiously, "Did Souldream catch you two days ago? Caught red-handed? What were you planning to do at the time? "
Sicarro looked a little awkward. "Nothing … actually, it was a legal business. I don't have any missions recently, so I wanted to go to the Surface World to sell some local specialties like roasted quail. I just learned how to roast quail from a Shaman from Azeroth. "
I suddenly felt strange. Roasted quail? It didn't seem like a big mistake to sell it. Also, it was in the outside world, and it wouldn't affect the order of the Shadow City. Why was Ling Meng so excited?
In the end, Sicarro added, "I planned to sell it at the entrance of the Great Wall Station. That place is very cold, and I think hot food would be quite popular there. I contacted two people who know how to make beef noodles and planned to go together … "
I was speechless. Do you think the expedition team in the South Pole would go crazy if they saw a barbecue stall and two people selling noodles at the entrance one day? Ling Meng was still too lenient!
All in all, Sicarro and his group of veterans finally had something to do. In the afternoon, he and his most capable subordinates were ordered to go to Europe to find Medivh. (According to Lin Xue's observation, Medivh stayed in Europe for the longest time, so there were more clues there. It was even possible that it hadn't left yet. Maybe there was something in Europe that attracted the bird's attention.) I estimated that I would be able to see a system disk for five dollars at the entrance of the Louvre before 3: 30 tomorrow afternoon.
At that time, I suddenly realized that sometimes things that make you scratch your head aren't necessarily disasters like the end of the world. It's quite troublesome if some inconspicuous little fellows really lose control. No matter how powerful Medivh was, it was just an underage crow god. Without the word "god", it was just a bird. After it suddenly went missing, it caused quite a bit of chaos. Several groups of Empire soldiers had been sent out to search for a giant crow without attracting the attention of ordinary people. After they met on the street, they greeted, "Oh, looking for a bird?"
Then they nodded, "Well, the bird is gone."
If it was two female soldiers, it would be fine. If it was two male soldiers, at least a dozen lonely uncles and aunties would surround the roadside with a greeting … Later, I asked Sicarro, who was in charge of this matter, to hold an emergency meeting with his soldiers. It was best not to talk about finding a bird on the street …
However, I was still relatively optimistic about Medivh's disappearance. With so many people looking for it, we also had such advanced detection equipment. Even if we wanted to find a crow without anyone noticing, it was not too difficult. The only urgent part of this matter was that we didn't know when the bird would cause a disaster. Anveena said it well: It was just a child. Its personality was equivalent to a four or five-year-old human child, and it had never left home before. Even when it practiced flying, it only hovered over the old city for a while. Such a childish divine bird that had never left home suddenly lost its way after circling the earth several times …
Frightened children were the most likely to get into trouble, especially that child, who was only a little less powerful than a nuclear bomb.
In the afternoon, we collected a lot of information. Although we still hadn't found Medivh, we gradually found many traces of its activities: a large area of scorched earth left behind by a shadow storm in the Alps, four or five wandering crows appeared halfway up the Andes, and about three square kilometers of the Gobi Desert in the center of the Taklamakan Desert was covered with glass. It was obvious that there had been a plasma storm there, and some primitive African tribes were "inspired by the gods." After coming into contact with their chiefs, the scouts confirmed that they saw a giant crow with a wingspan of at least a hundred meters, lifted into the sky by lightning and storms. The crow hovered over the village of the primitive tribe for a few minutes, and then left through a space jump. The worst situation was that Medivh had mastered space magic, and it was many times stronger than before. By the way, the Empire soldiers who went to the primitive African tribes to promote diet and weight loss were really f * cking geniuses …
Within twenty-four hours, Medivh had left traces of its activities all over the world, and a small portion of its activities had been witnessed by ordinary people. However, it seemed that it still remembered Anveena and my teachings. Most of the crow's activities were in the mountains and other inaccessible places, as if it was trying to hide itself as much as possible.
What was strange was that despite Medivh's activities being so frequent, we still couldn't catch it. All the Empire soldiers found nothing. The traces of Medivh's activities were left at least six hours ago. In other words, the entire world couldn't find any traces of Medivh's activities in the past six hours. Including our satellite scans and atmospheric probes, they all had the same result.
"It might have really learned some hidden skills," Sandora said helplessly after reading through a pile of reports in the living room. "I've already said that some skills can't be taught to it in advance. As a mutated species, everything should be learned step by step."
Anveena looked worried. "But ever since it learned how to go online, it downloaded the Dalaran Magic Compendium from the XL navigation system …"
I was speechless.
Damn, Medivh was already such a powerful fellow?
