Chapter Seventy-Four Familiar

[Before the formation of the devil, I do not recommend that you enter the space of consciousness without any defense. The complete separation of spirit and ** will cause you to fall into danger. Don’t underestimate the gods in the sky. No corner of the material world can escape their eyes. It is hidden behind history. The rise and fall of dynasties and the strength of species are all the shadows of gods.] Lorelai’s figure gradually faded away, and Link also escaped from the space of consciousness.

"Hey, the country guy, the time is up. If you want to continue living, pay the money." Early in the morning, the mercenaries came to knock on the door.

In order to be more stingy, Link bargained with the mercenaries, but the other party did not give in at all.

"Bah, poor guy." The mercenary spitted on the ground. As soon as the tenant from the room next door opened the door, the mercenary immediately changed into a flattering expression.

"Who is that?" The young man living in the wooden house next to Link was dressed in luxurious clothes, and he could tell at a glance that he was either rich or noble.

"The guy who lives in the house next to you seems to be a ranger."

"native?"

"Ha~How is that possible? Only outsiders will rent a house here." Worried that his words would hit the nobles of unknown territory, the mercenary pointed to the circular city standing not far away. "The inner city is protected by the wizard's barrier, and only the nobles and licensed craftsmen are qualified to enter."

The young man watched Link leave his back until he disappeared into the crowd and returned to the most expensive hotel room with furniture.

Link wandered around the already hot market and made sure that no one was following him. The intelligence spy who had been squatting outside his wooden house for the whole night was gone. It was probably because he confirmed that it was just an ordinary person and had nothing to do with the son of nature, so he left on his own.

Just as he thought of walking around the forest on the outside and finding a suitable location to evaporate it, suddenly something placed on a stall attracted his attention.

It was a dark animal sculpture, with its expression and shape as big as a real wolf. From a distance, it looked lifelike.

The stall owner was a grocery businessman, and the sculpture was particularly abrupt among the pile of daily necessities. Link walked over and saw someone stopping in front of the stall. The merchant immediately looked up and asked what he wanted to buy.

Link pointed to the sculpture made of unknown material. When he saw that his interest was sculpture, the merchant showed a embarrassed expression.

"This seems to be a normal sculpture."

Noting Link's outfit, the businessman's fat cheeks twitched slightly.

"Don't mind telling me how this thing comes from?" Link didn't say he wanted to buy it, and just kept asking about the origin of the statue.

Wiping the sweat beads that drifted from his forehead, the merchant seemed to have made some decision. He leaned into Link's ear, "Tell you the truth, this is a cursed sculpture."

"Curded?"

"Yes, it is said that they were originally alive, but they were transformed into this appearance by some spell. Some collectors who like weirdness like to be in this kind of thing of unknown origin. They have been circulated in the hands of many collectors. I got it because of some opportunity." Seeing that Link was very interested, the merchant said that as long as Link was willing to ask for it, he would be willing to paste a pickled pig's leg.

"There is such a good thing..." Link looked at the businessman who looked very uneasy with his eyes.

"I, I don't like this thing very much. I originally accepted it because I heard that this thing could intimidate the beasts in the wilderness, but when I went to bed at night, I always felt that it stared at me with my eyes. I wanted to go back, but the other party said he would not accept it, and even if he gave it to someone, it was notoriously strange in the circle." The merchant wiped his sweat all over his head and continued to sell it to Link. In order to send this thing that he thought was evil, he added a small bag of salt.

In a medieval world like Edgar, the importance of salt is definitely the first among the daily necessities of ordinary people.

"Okay." Link accepted it in disguise, holding the pickled pig's legs and salt bag in one hand, and holding the slightly heavy wolf sculpture in the other hand.

The businessman let out a long sigh, happy that he had finally sent out the strange things that had made him feel uncomfortable in the past few months.

Link was also happy about this unexpected joy. He was short of the devil, so he sent him one.

According to the original plan, he walked around the forest and found a place where no one was left. He put all the things in his hand into the dimensional bag. After Link was vaporized, he returned to the inner city defended by the barrier.

Yoda was writing at her desk when she suddenly felt something strange. When she looked up, she saw the son of nature, who was facing the appearance of the Ranger Melville, appearing in the hall. He had gone from initial surprise to being used to this man's elusiveness.

"Oh~ You're here, haven't you gone out to set up a stall?" Link didn't expect Yoda to be there. Seeing the union gate closed, he thought the branch head had gone to the market.

"The market is handed over to that boy Luni, I can't let him see you." Yoda was very helpless about Link's behavior of taking the union as a random person as his own.

Luni? Oh, that clerk...Link never spends extra thoughts on the irrelevant person. Say hello to Yoda and go to the warehouse.

Take out the statue you found in the market from the dimension bag. Link called Lorelai in his consciousness. Can you tell what spell this wolf was hit?

[You are so lucky that you said you would find a demon and you would be delivered to you automatically.] Lorelai usually only talks with Link when necessary. As a wisp of remnant soul, she cannot directly see or listen. Everything she knows comes from Link's consciousness sharing.

I really didn't expect to see me here...

Link touched the wolf eagle's head, whether it was its slightly broken ears or its snow-white feet, it was exactly the same as in memory.

【How, do you know it?】

[I know it, but it doesn't know me. The wolf Jafar, the druid of the Pillar of the Earth, was once my natural ally and follower in the fantasy.] In the market, Link recognized this wolf who had been transformed into a sculpture by spell at a glance. Its appearance is really easy to recognize.

[It is still alive?] Link's memory told Lorelai that he felt the weak but not extinguished vitality hidden in the statue...

[I am indeed alive, but I don’t know what kind of spells it is. Will it be dangerous to remove them?] Link is most afraid of the death of the wolf behind the spell, and that will be more than worth the loss.

Lorelai gave Link a method, phenomenon, which can reveal the cast spells.

Relying on the knowledge of the former magic goddess, a strange rune soon appeared on the wolf.

[This is a devil's word. The man who curses it is a demon, or a cāo master who understands the curse of the demon.] Lorelai gave an answer that surprised Link, [I think... this may be a trap.]

【Is there a risk of backlash or is it harmful to itself?】

[No, it's just an ordinary curse, but the caster can sense the release of the spell. That is to say, it is specially designed for you. Don't forget that all parties are paying close attention to your movements now.]

Link was silent. He needed a demon now. Druids and elemental creatures were the best choices. He didn't like Lorelai's summoning the abyss monsters and the demon's suggestions. In Link's view, loyalty is second-rate. The key is to bring a monster from the abyss very eye-catching, and the secret investigation cannot be carried out at all. Moreover, if you encounter a guy who hates the opposing camps like the believers of the morning light, it will definitely be a disaster. He doesn't want to expose his fake identity that has been spent a lot of energy to get it done.

Link thought about it and proposed an assumption, [Maybe, it is for me. But it is not necessarily now.]

According to the merchant, this statue has been around for some time, but he officially appeared two months ago.

[What you said may be right, but who can guarantee that the merchant's words must be true?] Lorelai insisted on her point of view, believing that Link should not untie the curse on the statue to avoid revealing his identity.

Now there is only one way to prove it, and Link also wants to take this opportunity to try it for a long time... No, it should be said that it is the "God Knowledge" that has not been used since time travel. This purely prophetic magic can use the power of God to see everything that has happened.

When she heard Link wanted to use "Shenzhi", Lorelai no longer stopped him. Zhi, Qi, Xian, and Ku were the four most famous magical techniques of the pillar, and she also wanted to take a look.

With experience in the illusion and not spending much time exploring, Link used the core magic of Gasos, the Pillar of Wind - Divine Knowledge. What was presented in front of him was an endless desert. Under the scorching sun, the wolf Jafar was covered in blood, and its enemy was a female demon wrapped in flames.

"If I do it again, you will be dead." The devil gently stroked his cheek and persuaded him with a regretful expression, "Let's say it out."

Jafar was silent. Even if he was not poisoned, he would not live long with his bleeding.

Link silently watched the scene that had happened in the form of a spiritual body. He was just a bystander and could not change anything.

[This is divine knowledge, recreating the past through personal experience? Interestingly, only the pillar has such ability...] Lorelai sighed, and she also appeared in the form of a spiritual body.

"The pillar has been corroded, and it won't take long to go crazy like the beasts in the wilderness." The female demon continued to persuade, "We are not going to kill the son of nature. On the contrary, the Abyss Demon Realm will protect him. Evil chaos does not mean we like death."

Jafar's attitude still did not change, and the female demon's face flashed with displeasure, "I don't know what's wrong." She stretched out her hand and a beam of red light hit the wolf, which turned into a stiff sculpture in the wailing of pain.

"Cobbs."

The response was a demon of lower grade, and the female demon ordered her men.

"Go, send this to Befest and try the newborn Grand Duke of Befest."

"That's still a child under one year old, and he can't even walk steadily. What's the use?" The devil named Cobbs didn't understand the meaning of this command.

"Idiot! Lifeweaver can retain the memories of his previous life. Even if he does not have the ability to untie the curse, as a son of nature, he will definitely recognize the uniqueness of this statue. You can monitor it nearby and watch it carefully. Report any situation immediately."

God Knows Ended with the Demon Cobbs leaving with the statue of a wolf.
