Lily and the others walked all the way in the direction of the sound, and found that a carriage was lying on its side on the road, and the books in the carriage were scattered all over the floor. The owner of the carriage was a man wearing a large mage robe.
Cursing, he packed up the books.
In addition, there is a strong smell of blood in the air. If you look closer, you can see that the horse pulling the carriage has fallen to the ground... No, to be precise, only half of the horse's corpse fell to the ground.
, the remaining half is missing.
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Elaine asked out of politeness. Although on the surface it seemed that the carriage was attacked by a monster, the other party might not need the help of people like him.
The mage raised his head and looked at Lily and the others in surprise. Then he patted his robe and stood up and said, "I'm really sorry, adventurers. I didn't see you coming just now. I wonder if you can do me a little favor.
?I think our society will be happy to pay you a handsome sum."
Elaine smiled and said: "Of course it's no problem. If it's something we can do, we will definitely help you. You were attacked by a monster. Do you want us to help hunt down the monster?"
"No, no, no..." The mage shook his head in embarrassment, pointing to the books on the ground and said, "Just help me organize these books, and then help me transport these books to the library of our society.
Yes, we will send special personnel to deal with the monster matter."
From the look of the mage, it seemed that there was something hidden about this matter, but this kind of thing was not important. Since the other party didn't want them to kill him, Lily and the others could just help transport the books.
Prince Mitt volunteered to run to the dwarf village not far away to see if he could borrow a means of transportation such as a carriage. After all, walking to an unknown library with a pile of books didn't sound like a pleasant experience.
things.
Lily, who was helping to pack the books, curiously looked at the names of the books while packing them away, and found that these books were either documents related to monsters, or notes on studying monsters. Lily felt like she had seen such books somewhere... Huh?
?Society? It won’t be the castle occupied by the undead a hundred years later, right?
"Uncle, what exactly is the society you are talking about?" Lily asked curiously, and the mage replied with a smile: "It's the Monster Research Society. We are actually Alkari's collaborators.
We are basically responsible for collecting data for research on the monster illustrations and strength positioning issued by Rui."
"It sounds so powerful..." Lily nodded, confirming her suspicion - it's absolutely right! It's the Ophiozoology Society that studies whether monsters can be eaten... But judging from his description,
It seems that it is indeed a research society? Moreover, the books and notes left in the castle are quite strange, and other books have been transported away. It is conceivable that the notes left behind have been deemed by the society to be of no great importance.
It was useful, so you threw it away, right?
If you think about it this way, this society shouldn't be that bad. Lily quickly filled up the space rings, and everyone else had almost collected the remaining books. After a while, Prince Mitt had a look of pain on his face.
They came to them with a goat cart... Well, yes, a goat cart. But the two goats pulling the cart were much taller than the goats Lily had seen before, and with the pair of sky-high horns, they were definitely taller than the average goat.
The horses are a bit taller.
"I went over and asked around, and found that there was only this kind of car in that village... Is it true, dwarves don't ride horses?" Mitte couldn't help complaining, and patted the goat on the head, causing the goat to bleat for a while.
He yelled, waving his horns and trying to hit him, but fortunately he was quick and managed to avoid it.
"What you said... wouldn't it be difficult for the dwarves if you let them ride horses?" Suoy raised his eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "They are not as tall as a horse's legs."
In short, Lily and her entourage could only sit in this simple carriage and drive bumpily to the Academy Castle. However, it has to be said that Gassein's goats not only have good endurance, but also do not have to be as slow as ordinary horses. They just sit up.
The car is a little bumpy...
The Dix of a hundred years ago and the Dix of a hundred years later are simply two different places. A hundred years later, due to the raging undead, many vegetations have withered and everything is lifeless. But Lily now sees that the surroundings are basically coniferous trees, and there are still
There are some short shrubs with berries. Because it is already autumn, the fruits of many fruit trees are already ripe. Lily, who is sitting in the open carriage, can’t wait to jump down and pick some to satisfy her craving. Qian Yu beside her seems to be doing the same.
Thinking this way, my mouth is already watering... Well, this also has something to do with the fact that I didn't eat well while taking the Mining Road subway in the past two days.
However, before Lily could encourage Qianyu to go out to pick fruits, she heard a scream in the sky, and a gryphon as big as two horses circled and rushed down. The target seemed to be the two goats pulling the carriage. It was holding an ax gun.
Gaina frowned, and suddenly looked up to the sky and roared angrily. The sudden burst of dragon power made the two goats crawl on the ground and tremble.
The gryphon obviously didn't expect to meet the giant dragon here, but it didn't seem to be afraid of Gayna. Instead, it screamed angrily at Gayna, and then breathed out biting frost breath at Lily and the others.
.
Gayna was really annoyed now. Although she was just a precocious dragon that had been raised in captivity by humans since childhood, the arrogance in her bones made her unable to bear the provocation of a monster! Gayna jumped into the air and blew away those frosts with a breath of hot dragon breath.
His breath was exhausted, and then he stabbed the gryphon with a shot.
"Don't kill that gryphon!" What no one expected was that the mage who claimed to be a member of the Monster Research Society actually chanted a spell to interfere with Gayna's battle! Although it was just a few inconspicuous wind blades, Gayna
In order to avoid these attacks from behind, he was slapped back to the ground by the gryphon!
"Hey! What are you doing?! Stop!" Lily's shouting did not interfere with the mage's chanting at all. This made Lily suddenly angrily stabbed the mage with a sword, and the mage was startled.
He quickly dodged Lily's attack, and then shouted: "Are you crazy?! Why are you attacking me?"
"You are crazy! Why are you attacking my companions?!" Not only Lily, but others also drew their weapons and aimed at the mage, while Mira used this magic to assist Gayna and the lion.
Eagle fight.
"You, you!" The mage turned pale with anger, "Do you know what you are doing?! That griffon is the property of our society! You despicable adventurers have no right to touch it! You are like this
His behavior can be regarded as a declaration of war against the Alkari Council!"
The mage's threat did not faze Lily. She sneered and said, "Don't come here! You are trying to pull off a tiger's skin, but you have probably never seen what a great sage looks like, have you?"
"You! You! Just wait! I will definitely..." Before the mage could finish speaking, Chris touched behind him expressionlessly and knocked him to the ground with a shield. From that crisp sound
Judging from the sound, Chris had absolutely no intention of holding back her strength.
"Gaina! Let's help you!" That gryphon is an adult gryphon. Although it is not as good as an adult dragon, it is more than enough to deal with Gaina. Moreover, because of the sneak attack by the mage before, Gaina is now
At a disadvantage, although Mira was also assisting Gayna, the fur on the griffin didn't seem to be afraid of fire magic, so Mira, who only knew how to explode, had no choice but to find ways to interfere with the griffin's actions.
But before Lily and the others went up to help, Lily's ears trembled, and then she hurriedly pulled little Aurelia and asked: "Aurelia, did you hear a very weird laughter?"
Chapter completed!
