Phew...
The cold wind is biting high in the sky.
Returning to Saint Grand Fort, Reilo is still sitting on the flying blanket behind Gubo.
Although Bubble Technique also has the ability to float and can barely carry Reilo for floating flight, the speed is much slower than the flying blanket of Gubo.
Sensing Reilo's weakness, Gubo released an energy protective shield, which helped Reilo block the cold wind at high altitude.
The inadvertent little gesture made Reilo feel warm in his heart.
The desolate Furnace Mountains is sparsely populated, and there are occasionally some moving figures on the ground. It is difficult to spot a flying carpet that flashes in the sky.
About three hourglasses later.
Gubo is worried.
I don't know whether it was because of the failure to capture Human-faced Spider's mission specimen, or because Human-faced Spider mentioned the filthy land of the ancient devil world, but he didn't say anything along the way.
Reilo also secretly regretted the missing Moon Mark on his right arm.
After Moon Mark disappeared, it turned into a few drops of colorless liquid, flowing out from the surface of Reilo's skin, losing its ability to graft and distort reality and illusion.
"Master!"
Suddenly.
A female scholar in the distance spotted Gubo in the sky and flew over with a loud shout.
When she got closer, Reilo looked out and saw a huge paper mandarin flying Magic Props, with pink energy smoke swirling around it, changing from time to time into the image of an illusory kingfisher.
Behind her, there was a seriously injured girl with a lot of blood flowing from her forehead. She looked about fourteen or fifteen years old.
Gubo stopped the flying carpet, frowned slightly, and looked at this Natural Scholar.
Although they are all Grand Duchy scholars, this is a Furnace Mountains wilderness. Unless it is an urgent matter, low-level scholars are almost unwilling to interact with high-level scholars to avoid unnecessary trouble.
The female scholar flew over and looked at Gubo with an anxious and pleading expression.
"This is my daughter Doria. She just suffered an energy backlash from the Furnace Mountains. She needs a high-grade energy crystal to replenish her energy backlash. I am willing to use this Gravity Stone in exchange!"
This pretty female scholar, who looked to be in her thirties, was stroking Doria's hair with one hand and taking out a black stone with the other, her eyes slightly red.
"Well, I happened to use up the advanced energy crystals in my previous experiment."
This injured girl looked very much like the sleeping Bailing when she was a child. Gubo shook her head helplessly.
"I do have half a high-grade energy crystal here."
Suddenly, Reilo behind Gubo spoke up and took out an energy crystal.
It's just that after Reilo absorbed the energy for several consecutive days, only half of it was left.
"I will exchange this piece of Gravity Stone with you!!"
The female scholar looked longingly at the high-grade energy crystal in Reilo's hand.
"Exchange with her."
It was Gubo who spoke.
"Such a big piece of Gravity Stone, not to mention Magic Props, is more than enough to make some magic weapons. It is now during the war, and the price of Magic Material has increased a lot. It is enough to pay for the high-grade energy crystal in your hand."
"Yes."
Since Gubo has spoken, Reilo will naturally not say anything more.
After bidding farewell to the female scholar, the two of them continued flying towards Saint Grand Fort.
The large green trees on the ground looked like small green dots when viewed from the flying carpet. Extraordinary Scholar was rushing forward with all his strength. The speed was not what Enlightenment Scholar could imagine. Even compared to a balloon airship, it was not much different.
Early morning two days later.
As more and more human towns and villages were scattered on the ground, the two finally arrived at an edge area of Demon Eagle Forest. After a few hourglasses, they should be able to reach Saint Grand Fort.
The patter of rain.
It rained continuously, and the raindrops fell on Energy Shield of the flying blanket and bounced away.
The visibility in the sky was only a few dozen meters, and thick fog shrouded all directions, making it difficult to distinguish between the sky and the ground.
Chat...
Chat...
Chat...
At this moment.
Along with the dark clouds and drizzle, there was a burst of sharp screams. Gubo, who was driving the flying carpet, suddenly made a sharp turn. Reilo was caught off guard and almost flung off the flying carpet, and suddenly screamed.
I saw a group of thirty or forty golden birds with wings spread four to five meters wide, with thunder swirling around their bodies. They were like lightning arrows, chasing two three-eyed Demon Eagle with a body of seven to eight meters, and passed by the two of them in a flash.
The powerful airflow caused by the rapid flight of many giant birds is almost visible to the naked eye, creating ripple trajectories in the rain lines.
"Teacher! Was that Soul-snatching Demon Eagle just now?"
Reilo, who was still in shock, looked towards the thunder clouds, but could not see anything.
The speed of that group of giant birds just now was too fast.
"Hmm."
Gubo responded with a gloomy expression. He stood on the flying carpet and stared at the high-altitude thunderclouds with a stiff expression.
Even for him, it would be extremely dangerous to be attacked by so many birds suddenly.
"Thunderbirds and Soul-snatching Demon Eagle are natural enemies. With such a large Thunderbirds and a thunderstorm, even Soul-snatching Demon Eagle has no choice but to flee."
Shaking his head, Gubo continued to fly forward.
Reilo swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
Demon Eagle Forest is named because of these Soul-snatching Demon Eagle.
Although the two Demon Eagle just now are not mutants, they have reached the third level of biological level. According to the biological level classification of scholars, as long as they do not encounter the extremely rare Legendary Creature, they are already the strongest creatures in nature. However, they are chased by thirty or forty Thunderbirds.
Biological evolution in nature is indeed full of mysteries.
Two and a half hourglasses later.
On the distant horizon, a magnificent human city gradually appeared, and Gubo's flying blanket gradually slowed down and fell.
There are four huge buildings in the city.
The vast palace and castle complex, the majestic and solemn Saint Grand Cathedral, the Saint Grand Fort arena that looks like a giant pot lid, and the Mercenary Association hall near the edge of the city.
Densely packed urban buildings are built around these four major buildings.
Gubo turned slightly in the air.
After a while, the two of them saw High Tower located in the suburbs of Saint Grand Fort and arrived at the Grand Natural Sciences Academy.
"Hello, Master!"
"Master Gubo."
Arriving at the high-end accommodation area of the college, people stopped from time to time, bowed their heads, and bowed humbly to Gubo. These were Natural Scholar from the high-end accommodation area.
Serious and stereotyped old men often just say "hmm" as a response.
Return to the familiar Whitey building.
"Meow, you just went out and came back. Didn't you say it would take a few days?"
Jiahei was lying on the dining room table, basking in the sun boredly. Demon Eagle Forest's thunderstorm did not affect Saint Grand Fort's clear sky at all.
"Those Human-faced Spider ran away, they must have been noticed by the Church."
Gubo responded, looked at Reilo and said, "Come up with me and check your body. Your cursed true body is extremely dangerous. While gaining strength, you will also pay a huge price for it. It is a vicious cycle. I will see if there is any way to weaken some of the curses."
"Yes."
Reilo followed Gubo to a room on the third floor that he had never entered before.
As soon as I walked in, I smelled a familiar smell of preservatives.
This is Gubo's specimen collection room, a room of hundreds of square meters, filled with a variety of specimen collections, ranging from animals, plants, fossils to elemental creatures.
There were even several large specimens, exuding a third-level biological aura, supported by steel frames and piled in a corner of the room.
"First collect some samples of your blood"
Gubo put on white rubber gloves, took out the syringe, and said with a serious face.
Reilo cooperated silently, and finally found out that the reason why Gubo was worried along the way was because of his cursed true form.
The cursed true form of Reilo is the deformed soul pollution of Human-faced Spider.
Human-faced Spider was created by Witcher in order to cultivate the perfect war weapon. The scary thing about it is that it can be continuously strengthened through killing, but it will gradually become a thing that loses rational consciousness and only retains the purest killing wisdom.
After a long time.
Under the watchful eyes of Reilo, Gubo continued to take his own blood samples and conduct various experiments in the laboratory. In the end, his face became increasingly gloomy, and Lei Lu's heart also started to hang.
It was not until dusk that Gubo stopped the experiment and looked at Reilo gloomily.
"The curse has been completely integrated into the depths of your soul, and it is far more solid than imagined. It is no longer possible to lift it."
The skinny fingers tapped on the test bench, revealing Gubo's bad mood.
"Two options, the first one is to try soul sealing, but the price is that you will never be able to form a soul connection with Medium Companion, which means you will never be able to advance to the next level Energy Magnetic Field."
"Impossible!"
Reilo refused immediately.
"Hmm."
Gubo said predictably, "The second method is to find a softer and nobler curse power to neutralize and weaken this curse. I am not too involved in this aspect. I heard that Temple of the Goddess of Wisdom seems to have mastered this power."
Huh?
For some reason, Reilo suddenly remembered the half-human, half-pig corpse he had collected.
