There were wisps of green smoke rising from the workshop on the edge of the town, but it was blown away by the blowing snow as soon as it floated out of the chimney.
In the house, Holo and Des were having a barbecue and drinking wine.
Hero swallowed a big mouthful of meat. This was a wild animal brought from the swamp: "Is your... little brother reliable? He won't be discovered."
The appearance of rats in this icy and snowy land would make normal people feel abnormal when they see them.
Mao Ge's cubs only demonstrated the ability of mimicry and knew nothing about other abilities.
Apprentices who are in the exploration stage will easily discover any abnormalities, especially those who practice soul perception.
Des imitated Hero and wiped the meat skewers clean, and took another sip of ale that he had never drunk before.
This was a joy he had never experienced before.
It was freezing outside, but there was a fire inside, eating meat and drinking wine.
Cool!
After finally swallowing the meat and wine, Des said slowly: "Don't worry! I relied on Mao Ge to pass the first two exams smoothly. Besides, he is not my little brother, but my beloved relative and friend!"
"You still have to be careful. There's something weird about that old apprentice." Hero thought about his previous actions. Although he didn't find any threat in the old apprentice, he didn't see through his true identity either.
He is a guy who hides deeply.
Des laughed: "Mao Ge is a product that I transformed with my faith, and his abilities are far more useful than ordinary soul beasts!
They originally lived in the dark corners of the imperial capital, but it was not easy for them to survive there.
In other words, this kind of work is his instinct!"
"Creation of faith? Isn't he your soul beast?" This new term interested Holo deeply. What made him curious was, does the [Judgment Tower] have such a soul technique?
Regarding spiritual beasts such as faith, aren’t they all in the [Mass Tower]?
"Of course not. I don't have a soul mark yet. I plan to wait until I reach the level of a magician and then combine it with Mao Ge's ability to create a soul beast."
Des said all this very frankly. At this moment, he had a strategizing look, which was completely different from the time before when he licked his face and asked for cooperation.
To a certain extent, it is also the absolute trust in Holo.
I really want to cooperate.
Before the two of them had dinner, Mao Ge had already spread out all the rat pups, not only monitoring the actions of the apprentices, but also exploring the entire Teacup Town.
Especially the old apprentice who was instructed by Hero, he even arranged for more than a dozen of the most capable rat cubs.
As for him, he still stays in his niche and leads the overall situation.
In this way, the messages sent back by the mice can be processed in batches most quickly, and effective information can be sorted out, which can save a lot of time.
While waiting, teacup town began to hear the roar of soul magic from time to time.
After eating the food and replenishing some energy, Hero began to discuss the situation here with Des.
"Take that arm out and analyze it again."
"Okay, there were too many people there before, so I didn't have time to take a look at the situation."
Des took it out of the storage equipment, and Holo took advantage of it.
After careful sensing, the activity inside has all disappeared under the action of petrification and chaos.
Holo began to control the soul technique, peeling off the petrified layer on the surface of his arm.
The arm that was exposed to the world again was like broken porcelain, and the ice cracks on it raised the entire beauty to a new level.
It's like a beautiful piece of art.
"The activity has been lost, but fortunately the hyperplastic flesh tissue is still there...otherwise it would be difficult to tell whether it is contaminated. How much contribution do you think this portion can bring?"
"I don't know." Hero's attention was entirely on his arms at the moment.
He only learned about it from books in the [library].
Although the civilians in the empire's territory are all human beings, due to geographical issues, they will have more or less different physical changes.
I originally thought that Teacup Town was just like the residents of the port, only possessing some characteristics of siren transformation, but I didn't expect that the residents here had physically changed so much.
He had also observed before that the stumps in the hands of several other apprentices were also like this... turned into pieces.
However, Teacup Town was not included in the cleanup tasks by the tower before it was contaminated.
They do not belong to the areas controlled by the rebel sorcerer organization, nor do they belong to other areas with bad changes in nature.
This shows that the original physical changes here do not affect their lives and the purity of their souls.
"The fragmentation...is it related to the environment here?"
"Not necessarily, it may have something to do with the industry here. I once passed by a place where rune metals were abundant. Many craftsmen had their knuckle bones turned outward and were corroded by the runes and turned into metal."
Des used scenes he had seen before to interpret the possibility of tile transformation.
The two were discussing, and Mao Ge came out of the niche, holding the compiled information in his hands.
The data is very small, like a matchbox.
"Hey! Des and my friends, please stop talking now. I think what you want to explore is very troublesome.
I suggest that you don’t go any further. This area is not suitable for apprentices to take risks, Des! If you insist on taking action, I’m afraid I will also be implicated!”
Even though Mao Ge had a rat head on his head, Hero still saw a worried expression on it.
"Thirteen rat cubs were lost, but fortunately the apprentices did not discover my existence."
"Then what is the loss of the rat cub?" Besides the apprentice, what else could be discovered by stupid pollutants?
"He's a chef..."
Holo's eyes lit up: "Tell me in detail!"
"Not long ago, I sent out my boys and focused on the apprentices you mentioned.
The old apprentice led them to the center of Teacup Town, where there was a huge restaurant, which seemed to have been a dining place for the entire town."
"Then what?" Hero had a hunch that the source of the pollution scattered here was in that restaurant.
"They encountered a contaminant that was different from other..."
"What?"
"I don't know how to describe it. He is wearing a chef's hat and holding a bone chopping knife, but his body is like..."
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Porcelain?"
"Yes! That's right!" Mao Ge quickly nodded in approval of his description.
At the same time, he also noticed the porcelain arm in Hero's hand.
"Just like this! No, his arms are complete, white, silky and reflective. He is like a giant porcelain man but extremely huge!"
Mao Ge dropped the information in his hand and kept waving his arms to make a huge figure.
It looks extremely funny.
Hero subconsciously thought that the porcelain chef might just be a little fatter than ordinary people.
"Then what?"
"Those apprentices are overestimating their abilities. They are even stupider than Des. At least he will not charge forward to an invincible enemy and act as a meal."
"What happened?"
"The whole army was wiped out! The porcelain chef waved his arm lightly and swept away all the soul arts. He was not harmed at all.
Then he rushed forward and cut several apprentices in half with two swords. Hey, didn't you see how they were lingering on the snow... It was really scary!
My rat cub got too close, and was affected by the spirit technique, causing heavy casualties. In order to see clearly the true identity of the porcelain chef, I deliberately let a rat cub get close, but it was trampled to death. Des, you have to fulfill your duty.
promise!"
The loss of Zaizi made Mao Ge heartbroken.
"I will, Mao Ge!" Des agreed helplessly.
And Hero fell into thinking.
"Also, the strangest thing is that the old apprentice you asked me to pay attention to is the only one who survived! How strange!"
"Can you say that again?"
"It's the old apprentice. He led the apprentices to the restaurant, but he hid at the end. I don't know what happened. Anyway, the porcelain chef didn't kill him in the end."
"Why can he survive?" Des looked at Hero in shock, remembering what he said before.
That guy is really evil!
"He's feeding that pollutant! We have to evacuate first." Holo looked gloomy and picked up Des and walked out.
Seeing this, Des quickly lifted up the niche and called to Mao Ge:
"Continue to send the bastards to supervise the restaurant, monitor the porcelain chef from a distance, and...recruit the bastards sent to other places first!"
"Don't worry, I observed that the porcelain chef can't leave the restaurant. He can only hang around the restaurant. The old apprentice seems to know this too." Mao Ge jumped on Des's shoulders and ran so that he was knocked over.
Uncomfortable.
"It's too late, let's retreat first."
Mao Ge still had too little experience, and Hero was worried from the beginning.
After all, he is not a soul beast, and his abilities are not directed at souls. Although he can live in the corners of the imperial capital with ease, this is the world of magicians.
It was detected that he was not an ordinary person.
If the porcelain chef was contaminated and corrupted, then it stands to reason that he would be very sensitive to the presence of living creatures.
And if the old apprentice is in partnership with him.
Then...the mouse suddenly appeared...
"Let me see where the little mouse is hiding? He can't run away... he can't run away! The little mouse is destined to be trampled to death! But you are still valuable! Come as an after-dinner snack!"
