Swain tilted his head, thought for a while and said, "About a hundred kinds, right? I'm not sure."
"A hundred kinds? Not bad!"
Enzo nodded slightly. Swain, as a Tinos crow with pure blood, swallows the blood genes of living creatures and masters shape changes, which is its only innate ability.
However, the average Tinos Crow can master 50 transformation forms after adulthood, which is almost the limit. However, Swain has more than 100 transformation forms so far, although most of them are basic creatures.
But that is enough to prove its extraordinary talent.
"Become the Iron Claw Demon Pony. I want to go to the Corrupt Forest to perform a mission." Enzo ordered.
Swain flew into the air, and after thinking for a moment, he did not turn into an iron-clawed pony. Instead, he spread his wings and turned into a green falcon.
"The Gale Eagle?"
Enzo frowned and said, "The Iron Claw Demon Horse I need is not the Gale Eagle."
"I don't want to become an iron-clawed demon pony."
Swain shook his head willfully, flapped his wings and said, "Noel City is too far away from the Corrupt Forest, and I don't want to be ridden by you for so long!"
"...Okay." Enzo nodded helplessly.
As he grows older, Swain has gradually developed an independent personality. Although he obeys Enzo's instructions most of the time, he occasionally gets angry.
Enzo was not too dissatisfied with this. After all, Swain had been with him for nearly forty years since his birth, and a relationship had been built between the two.
"lets go!"
Enzo held the soul bone wand in his hand, Swain screamed, grabbed the top of the wand with his eagle talons, and flew into the sky with Enzo.
…
Half an hour later, the forest border was corrupted.
Swain, in the form of a gale hawk, released his claws, dropped Enzo onto a flat ground, and then transformed into a crow form again.
"Ugh! It stinks so much!"
Swain landed on Enzo's shoulder, covered his nose with his wings and complained.
Ahead is a black forest.
Decades ago, this place was the territory of the Children of the Forest clan, full of vitality under the water of natural energy.
However, as the Children of the Forest declined, the Fallen Spirits became the spokesperson of the wizards, and the aura of disaster beasts spread to the entire world. This forest, which was once full of natural atmosphere, soon became withered!
A large number of trees and plants died, giving the forest a rotten smell, so it was renamed the Corrupt Forest by the Sixth Tower.
On the same spot, Enzo stepped forward and walked straight into the Corrupt Forest.
After the chip's scanning function was turned on, all surrounding movements were captured. Enzo's face was calm and he walked slowly in the corrupt forest.
"Life forms were found 10 meters behind!"
Not long after, the beep of the chip came from Enzo's mind. It seemed that because the creatures found in the scan were not powerful and could not pose a threat to the subject, the chip only gave a normal prompt.
"Bionic crocodile monster?"
Enzo stopped and narrowed his eyes slightly. The life form discovered after the chip detection had already formed an image in his mind. It looked similar to a humanoid crocodile creature in appearance.
Bionic Crocodile, a creature discovered and named by Enzo!
With the discovery of the bionic crocodile monster, what Enzo had inferred before heading to the Corrupted Forest seemed to be confirmed.
"Sure enough, it's him..."
Enzo murmured to himself, then waved the soul bone wand in his hand, and the black fireball condensed instantly, and then hit in vain not far away.
boom!
The dark fireball exploded not far away, and while several withered trees were destroyed, the three bionic crocodile monsters hidden in the bushes also let out a piercing scream.
"Come out, Wizard Gram."
On the same spot, Enzo looked indifferently at the bionic crocodile monster not far away that was blown over by black fire, and then said indifferently to the front.
After a while, a figure slowly walked out from deeper in the corrupt forest.
"Long time no see, Sir Enzo!"
The life form that walked out of the depths of the forest was exactly the same as a human boy, except that it moved forward strangely and had an extremely stiff expression on its face.
"Thank you very much, Sir Enzo, for being willing to call me a wizard." The human boy treated Enzo with wizard etiquette in an extremely lame way, and then a stiff smile appeared on his face and said, "Although, I have given up long ago.
That identity!”
Enzo's face was calm, and he looked at the human boy Gram in front of him.
Even without the use of chip scanning, he could suddenly see that the boy in front of him was not a real human being, but a synthetic creature created by piecing together the flesh and blood of some creatures in a special way.
"Please don't mind, Sir Enzo."
Seemingly understanding Enzo's eyes, Gram said in a hoarse voice, "Although I chose an extreme path of evolution in order to become a second-level life form, I still always remember the human form, so I created this body!"
"
"I can understand your nostalgia for human identity."
On the same spot, Enzo's expression remained unchanged and he said softly: "But, do you really intend to fight me in this form?"
"Fight? No, Sir Enzo misunderstood."
Gram waved his hands quickly and said with a stiff smile, "Although I have given up my human identity now, as a former wizard, I have no intention of becoming an enemy of wizard civilization!"
"Don't you plan to be an enemy of wizard civilization?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"Yes, Sir Enzo."
Gram nodded slightly and said, "Since you are here, it means that the Sixth Tower has received my gift!"
"A gift? You mean..." Enzo was a little surprised.
"That's right, the body of the child of the forest."
Gram slowly opened his mouth and said hoarsely: "The wizard civilization is on an expedition to this world. The biggest enemy is the Children of the Forest. I helped the Sixth Tower solve a small problem to show my friendship."
Enzo's eyes flashed, and the thoughts in his heart changed.
After a moment of thinking, he understood the intention expressed by Gram. With the decline of the Children of the Forest, it was indisputable that the wizarding civilization would become the ruler of this world in the future.
In this case, Gram's identity at this time seems extremely embarrassing. He is neither a native creature of the world of Aira, nor does he no longer have the identity of a wizard.
When the wizarding civilization completely takes control of the world, it will inevitably establish a new governance system, and everything that poses a threat to the wizarding civilization will be eliminated.
Gram was naturally not surprised either!
In order to avoid this happening, Gram must make preparations in advance. Although it has abandoned its human body at this moment, as a former wizard, the remaining reason in its heart makes it decisively choose to show its favor to the wizard civilization.
And the corpse of the Son of the Forest, in Gram's eyes, was a certificate of submission as a gift!
"So... you think that the corpse of a child of the forest can express your friendship towards the wizarding civilization?" There was a trace of ridicule in Enzo's eyes.
The Children of the Forest clan has already declined, and those Children of the Forest who escaped from the Raqil Forest are as humble as sewer rats.
What Gram did was just a very small thing to the wizarding civilization, not enough to be taken seriously by anyone, let alone serve as a condition to avoid cleanup!
"Haha, Sir Enzo misunderstood."
At this time, Gram spoke again and said with a stiff smile: "I know very well that killing a child of the forest is insignificant to the wizarding civilization, so I don't intend to use this matter to obtain immunity."
"Oh?" Enzo raised his eyebrows.
"As a former wizard, although I have given up my human identity now, I still have some wealth left in the wizarding world."
On the opposite side, Gram took a deep breath and said, "I hope to use this wealth to absolve me of the guilt of killing the extraordinary knight. Please, Sir Enzo, express my intention to the Sixth Tower on my behalf!"
Enzo's eyes flashed slightly, he stroked his chin, and after thinking for a moment, he said: "What do you mean, you decide to donate all your wealth in the wizarding world to express your loyalty to the wizarding civilization?"
"Yes, that's right!"
Gram took a deep breath, and with the etiquette of the wizarding world, he saluted Enzo deeply and begged, "I hope Enzo can convey my wishes to Gustav, the supreme commander of the sixth tower!"
Enzo pondered for a moment, shook his head, and asked quietly, "Why should I help you?"
"The wizarding world believes in the principle of equal exchange. Of course I will not let Mr. Enzo help for free." Gram smiled stiffly and said, "In return, I prepared a gift for Mr. Enzo, which was a gift from my wizard career.
The most precious treasure!"
"What is it?" Enzo's eyes showed a hint of interest.
"A map of the ruins of the gods!"
"Relics of gods?" Enzo's pupils shrank.
"That's right!" Gram saw Enzo's reaction, a smile appeared on his face, and he said hoarsely: "That map was something I got by chance during a mission to hunt down a fallen wizard. Although the information recorded in it is not complete,
, but it is basically certain that it is related to a god’s ruins!”
"If you really got a map related to the ruins of the gods, why did you explore it in the wizarding world and keep it until now?" Enzo was not overwhelmed by the ruins of the gods. The luster in his eyes flickered slightly, and then he asked calmly.
.
"The location of the ruins marked on that map is somewhat special. With my strength, if I set foot on it easily, I would probably never return." Gram shook his head.
"Where?"
"Lost Continent!" Gram said solemnly.
"Lost Continent?" Enzo narrowed his eyes, and the information about the Lost Continent came to his mind, and he couldn't help but frown slightly.
In the First Era, when the world was formed, human wizard civilization had not yet risen. At that time, the world was ruled by gods, so the world was called the world of gods.
When the gods ruled the world, with the Heavenly Mountain as the center, there was only one complete continent in the world, and the ocean occupied a very small area.
However, as times changed, the world experienced great flood events and abyss invasion events one after another. Finally, after the battle between the ancestor of wizards and the gods at Paradise Mountain, the entire continent fell into pieces.
The collapse of Mount Paradise was one of the main reasons for the splitting of the continent. Seawater gushes out from the ground, and the complete continent is divided into five main parts, as well as thousands of islands of different sizes.
Among them, the Lost Continent is the most special one among the thousands of islands!
First of all, because of its area, it is the largest among the thousands of islands, second only to the five main continents. At the same time, the Lost Continent is also the place where the main god [Dark Lord] fell.
Lord of Darkness, Tortas!
One of the four most powerful gods in the Age of Gods, the God-King in charge of darkness and death, and a seventh-level life form that is as powerful as the Supreme Wizard!
This terrifying King of Gods, even in the endless multiverse, is at the top level and can be called an immortal existence!
However, even if it is as powerful as the [Dark Lord], in the face of the wizard ancestor who has been promoted to the eighth level of life form, he can only end up with the destruction of his soul and his death.
After being killed by the ancestor of the wizard, the godhead of the Dark Lord was shattered, and his body fell into the Lost Continent. Infected by the dark divine power, the originally ordinary land island was turned into a restricted area.
"A map recording the ruins of the gods of the lost continent..." Enzo murmured to himself, his eyes flashing with thought.
"Which god does the ruins on the map belong to?" Enzo asked after a while.
"The specific relics left by that god are not recorded in detail on the map." Gram shook his head and said, "However, according to my many years of investigation, that god should belong to the slave god of the Lord of Darkness!"
"From God?" Enzo's eyes flashed and he nodded slightly.
The so-called followers are followers of certain powerful gods. For example, the goddess of the night belongs to the dark camp and was once the follower of the dark master.
"How should I believe your words?" Enzo slowly raised his head and said indifferently.
"I didn't lie to you, Sir Enzo."
Gram shook his head and said with a smile: "The wizarding civilization is about to rule the world. The guarantee I am looking for now, lies will not allow me to gain your friendship, but will be counterproductive."
Enzo pondered for a moment, nodded and said, "I accept your deal. After returning to the sixth tower, I will tell Wizard Gustav your request."
"Thank you very much, Sir Enzo!"
Hearing Enzo's words, Gram finally breathed a sigh of relief. He bowed sincerely and saluted, then turned around and went into the forest. When he came out a moment later, he was holding a broken map in his hands.
Enzo stepped forward and took away the broken map.
A simple deal was reached, and no contract was signed in the process. Gram did not dare to put forward any conditions because he was afraid of causing the other party's displeasure, while Enzo found it too troublesome.
Gram's request was just a piece of cake for him. Even without Gustave, as Enzo's second-level wizard, it was only a trivial matter to exempt Gram from the crime. After all, the crime he committed was just killing.
Just some extraordinary knights.
What's more, as a former wizard, Gram has given up his human body, but he still has some connections in the wizarding world. If Enzo insists on killing him, he may offend some people invisibly.
