Mu Zhong crossed his arms and stared at the monkey orc in front of him with an unkind expression: "When did you join the team?"

The monkey orc's eyes rolled up in confusion: "I... have been in the team since the beginning."

"Oh~? I know a magic. Anyone who is possessed by this magic will turn into stone as long as he tells a lie. Do you want to give it a try?" - words to bluff a monkey.

"No, no, no!" The monkey orc knelt down directly. He grabbed the corner of the wooden clock and said in a grief-stricken voice: "Master Magician! I beg you, please remove the lice again! For the last time!

"

The orcs queuing up behind also began to plead, especially a few small orcs, who said the words "please~" in a childish voice, which made people's hearts melt.

"..."

Although Mu Zhong could bear it,... there was no need for it now.

So, he raised a finger and said: "Fifty coins per person, children are free."

Upon hearing this offer, the orcs became restless:

“So expensive.”

"I can't even make fifty cents a day."

"Master Magician, can you make it cheaper?"

“Can I use fruit or fruit bugs instead?”

——'Fruit bug' is a kind of bug that feeds on various fruits. It is non-toxic, edible, and has tender and juicy flesh.

Considering that the life of these orcs is not easy, Mu Zhong changed the price: "Then it will be ten coins per person, and children will be free."

"oh!!!"

"Long live the Magician!"

——Another burst of cheers.

…

More than half an hour later, Mu Zhong grabbed the more than 3,000 engraved coins he had earned and walked up to Xiong, Leopard and Wolf.

He said directly: "I want to know the information about the 'Wandering Fire Weasel'. What do you know?"

The bear orc asked strangely: "Is the Master Magician also interested in the fur of the Fire Weasel?"

Wooden clock: "What do you mean?"

Xiong: "Half a month ago, for some unknown reason, it snowed heavily in the Fire Rock Forest at the southern end of the Great Forest. The flames there were extinguished by the snow, and then the wandering fire weasels living in the Fire Rock Forest were forced to leave there.

.”

Mu: "Please tell me more about the Fire Rock Forest first."

Xiong: "Oh. The Fire Rock Forest is a forest of flames surrounded by rocks."

Mu: "In other words, after the fire there was extinguished by the heavy snow, the wandering fire weasels living there left the Fire Rock Forest?"

Bear: "Yes, that's right."

Mu: "Then where did they go?"

Bear: "I don't know. Maybe they were eaten by other monsters, or maybe they were killed by mercenaries. Their furs are very valuable."

Mu: "Is their fur special?"

The wolf orc rushed to say: "The fur of the Fire Weasel is immune to fire damage."

——Ordinary flames.

Leopard: "Some time ago, after the news came out that the fire in Huoyan Forest was extinguished, many mercenaries went there."

Several people talked sporadically for more than ten minutes...

Mu Zhong remembered what he had heard them discuss at the beginning and wanted to ask, "whether the fire was related to the Fire Weasel", but then he thought that these people had no idea of ​​connecting the two, so he probably couldn't ask anything useful.

, I didn’t ask about the exit.

As for the issue of ‘beast spirits’ and ‘overlords’, let’s wait and ask Professor Hailin.

After the inquiry was over, Mu Zhong turned around. Under the awed gazes of the three orcs, he waved his hand coolly: "I have no problem. Goodbye."

"Goodbye, Master Magician."×3.

………

The two people have finished gathering.

After exchanging the information they had learned, Mu Zhong asked: "Professor Hailin, what did the 'Overlord' and the 'Beast Spirit' talk about?"

Professor Hailin explained: "'Overlord' refers to a powerful creature that owns a territory, and 'beast spirit'... is more complicated and can be regarded as a magical 'natural spirit'. However, its image

Unlike the common nature spirits, it usually looks like an animal, which is also the origin of the name 'animal spirit'."

"Are animal spirits transformed from ordinary beasts?"

"Haha~ Are you very interested in this question?"

"a little bit."

"A little is enough."

Mu Zhong was stunned for a moment, then laughed: "You're right~"

His emotions are relatively weak and he rarely has strong emotions. This 'little bit' is indeed 'enough' for him.

…

The news about the wandering weasels is not good.

The characteristic of the monsters like the 'Wandering Fire Weasels' is that they can swim freely in the flames. The Fire Weasels that have left the fire rock forest are like amphibians that have left the water. Without the protection of flames, they become ordinary

Monster.

In the large forest, the activity trajectories of various creatures are criss-crossed but orderly. The deviation of the wandering weasel will inevitably trigger a series of adverse reactions.

To put it simply, it is fighting, grabbing territory, and the jungle of the jungle.

It's easy to say that alone, but... the fur of the Fire Weasel is a top-quality magical material...

Facing the greedy and cunning mercenary hunters, the Wandering Fire Weasels cannot stay in one place, and Wandering Weasels have to encounter other monsters, which makes them fall into a vicious cycle that is difficult to get out of, until... they are completely destroyed.

…

Such news made Professor Hailin feel extremely heavy. He touched the wooden box he was holding in his hand and said, "Sixteen days have passed since the fire rock forest was extinguished by snow. Without the flame environment, the wandering fire weasel is just an ordinary monster.

, If I want to survive these sixteen days, I can only think of two possibilities - being protected by a powerful monster, or being protected by the fire."

Mu Zhong asked: "Are we going to the place where the fire occurred now?"

"Yeah. I didn't expect that something like this would happen... 'Gude' is gone. I sent him back. I don't want to see his home and family gone."

…

The two walked out of the capital of Knoy.

Professor Hailin used magic to fly to the sky. With the firelight in the distance, he judged the direction and then descended back to the ground.

Reaching forward: "Positioning and teleportation!"

Magic power surged, and a blue teleportation magic circle appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Professor Hailin grabbed Mu Zhong's shoulders and entered the teleportation array together.

At the same time, a similar blue magic circle appeared over the fire field dozens of kilometers away.

The two figures emerged from the magic circle.

…

New magic:

[Magic Trash Can: After casting, a magical trash can can be summoned. When the target unit holding garbage encounters this trash can, it will subconsciously want to throw the garbage on its hands into this trash can. 】

"..." This magic is really strange.

Return to the ground again.

Professor Hailin noticed that the expression on the wooden clock was a little strange, and asked with concern: "Is it too close to the fire?"

"No." Mu Zhong shook his head slightly, his expression a bit bitter, "It's just that I just learned an inexplicable new magic."

"Inexplicable? Just cast it and let me see."

"oh."

The wooden clock pointed its finger to the ground and silently cast magic: magic trash can!

A white magic light shot from his fingertips to the ground. On the ground, the magic light group surged and eventually turned into a black hollow plastic trash can.

"..."

"..."

"What is its...effect?"

"It makes you want to throw trash in there."

"..."

"..."

“Does the trash you throw in disappear?”

"Won't."
