Mysterious journey

"Go find the target yourself?" Garen nodded thoughtfully. "Are there any specific conditions and requirements?"

"Just don't make it too complicated. All you need to learn is the basic framework at the beginning, and then slowly expand it." Aining said, "Okay, go ahead. There is still one morning to make what you want to create." Find the totem, and remember, it must be something you need and can use. Every creature has its own unique ability, don't choose randomly."

"yes."

Garen nodded respectfully.

"Then I'm going to wash up first. When you catch it later, we'll start making the formal demonstration." Aining yawned, turned around and walked out of the room.

Gallon found a large glass bottle and a pair of pigskin gloves, then went downstairs and left the small building.

In the morning, there were many young men in the town. Most of them carried bows, arrows, hunting knives, and wore clothes made of fur. They came in and out of the town in groups. Some of them were carrying wild beasts they had just beaten on their backs.

Garen walked out along the main road of the town. The gray robe he was wearing made the residents of the town a little curious. Several children who were chasing each other suddenly hid in the corner when they saw him approaching. Watching him secretly and warily.

Walking out of the town, there is a vast rolling hilly grassland outside, with clusters of small woods scattered sparsely, most of which are short-footed trees that are not dense enough. The emerald green woods and dark green grassland are almost connected together. Some white butterflies are flying around the small flowers on the grassland. A group of unknown birds fly in the sky from time to time, making a high-pitched and weak cry.

Not far from the town, there is a small river three to four meters wide. This is the source of the famous Red River. It is the melted snow water from the towering snow peaks in the distance. It is extremely clean.

Gallon walked to the edge of the Red River, squatted down, and began to look through the grass and wet soil.

"What kind of totem do I need?"

he asked himself.

"What kind of totem will help me?"

He pushed aside the grass, and a group of black ants slowly crawled across the black soil. He looked at it without making a move. As his eyes moved, he fell on another dark green blade of grass.

On the willow leaf-shaped grass blade, lying quietly, a fat green caterpillar with burrs all over its body and four small black eyes looked lazy and lifeless.

On a small yellow flower on the right, there is a black bee with a thin waist sitting on it. It is crawling around in the stamens the size of a fingernail. Its legs are covered with yellow pollen, and it is obviously picking pollen.

"Ants, caterpillars, wild bees."

Garen shook his head slightly.

"It's too weak. Although it has a simple structure, it won't be of much help to me even if it succeeds."

He stood up and continued walking towards the distance of the grassland hills.

"If you want to be helpful to me, it is best to have a certain amount of strength, so that it can play a supporting role in life. It must be able to fly, and it can play a role in reporting and detection and early warning. It must have offensive capabilities and certain defensive capabilities. In this way Well… the best ones are birds.”

He looked far away at a few woods not far away, where the crisp and clear sounds of birds kept coming from there.

After crossing several hills, he quickly picked the largest forest and walked into it.

The forest was lush and green, and there was a refreshing feeling. Several children were wandering around in it, picking up something. These children were dressed in shabby clothes, looked disheveled, and were thin and pitiful. Carrying a huge basket on his back, some contained some plants, wild fruits and the like, while others were empty with just a little.

When Garen came in, he only made these children look up, but no one paid attention to him and continued to pick and dig with their heads down.

There were many birds perching above the forest, and they kept making noisy intermittent calls.

Garen raised his head to distinguish carefully. There were many birds above the woods. There were five or six species, some large and some small. Most were black, and only a few were green and blue.

"It needs to be slightly larger, aggressive, and has good flying speed." Garen found that he didn't recognize any bird. He looked around and his eyes fell on a dirty little boy from afar.

This little boy wore the same gray linen clothes as the others, carried a large basket on his back, and had messy hair. He only had a green parrot standing on his shoulder. He looked different from other children.

Garen walked over and stood next to the little boy. "Is this the bird you raised?" he asked in as gentle a tone as possible.

"Yes, sir. Do you have any orders?" The little boy stood up from his bent position and looked at him doubtfully. This strange adult looked around in the forest, wondering what he was doing here.

"I would like to ask, do you know what species of birds are here?" Gallon took out a small copper bullet and passed it over.

The little boy immediately hurriedly caught it. A copper may not buy much elsewhere, but you can still buy some snacks here. He immediately beamed and smiled.

"Bird? I'm familiar with this."

"Familiar with you bird! Familiar with you bird!" The green parrot on his shoulder shouted loudly.

"Shut up Hans!" the little boy said in embarrassment, "If you keep doing this, I won't give you dinner!"

"Try it carefully to me. If you say it well, I'll give you another one." Garen looked at the green parrot with a smile.

"No problem, my sister likes raising birds the most. Later, after she left, I started to like it too. I still know a lot about this!" The little boy patted his chest.

"Get to know your sister! Get to know your sister!"

"Shut up!!" The little boy blushed and flicked the green parrot's head hard.

Garen smiled as he looked at this combination of man and bird, feeling very harmonious.

"I want to find a bird that flies fast, is strong, and has a certain degree of aggression. Do you know what kind of bird there is?" He stated his conditions.

"You have found the right person!" The little boy wiped away the snot that was about to run out. "According to your requirements, the most suitable person is definitely Eagle."

"Eagle? Which eagle is the fastest?" Garen nodded and asked.

"The eagles we have here are not slow. And most of them are cunning blue eagles. They are small and very fast. It can scratch people's skin in the blink of an eye! It has the sharpest claws and likes to steal everyone's little ones. Chicken." The little boy answered in detail.

"Are there any other birds? Or it doesn't have to be a bird." Garen asked with a frown. Although Blue Eagle met the requirements, he didn't like this kind of eagle that only stole chickens.

"If it doesn't have to be a bird," the little boy scratched his hair, "Oh! There is another one, but it's not a bird, it's an insect."

"Oh? What is it?" Garen showed an interested expression.

"Fluorescent butterfly!" The little boy said with an uncomfortable look on his face, "This thing is as big as a basin, strong, beautiful, and weird. Generally, butterflies are not very fast, but they are very fast. Ordinary birds are even faster. Only eagles can compare with them. And the most annoying thing is that they are highly poisonous. If a person accidentally inhales their powder, they will be paralyzed and poisoned all over the body, and if they are a little bit serious, they will die! very scary!"

"Oh? There is this kind of butterfly? Where is it? Take me to see it!" Garen suddenly became interested.

"I won't go. If you keep walking in that direction, go straight, you will soon see those nasty butterflies. They are full of poison and have taken over the entire small forest. What you see is huge. Blue butterflies without any variegated blue butterflies, then they must be them." The little boy simply pointed in the direction and said.

"Thank you." Garen took out the second copper in his hand and strode towards the direction pointed by the little boy.

Leaving this grove, Garen kept walking in the direction pointed by the boy. His pace was very fast. More and more dense groves appeared around him. The traces of human activities gradually became less and less. There were wheel marks and footsteps on the ground. The seal quickly disappeared.

In the distance, you can gradually see the white snow peaks towering into the clouds.

Soon he saw the fluorescent butterfly the boy was talking about.

Under the shade of some dark trees, blue butterflies glowed with light blue fluorescence and danced in the shadows. It's like being sprinkled with fluorescent powder.

These butterflies fly silently, the smallest is the size of a palm, and the largest has a wingspan of nearly one meter. The long, furry body is clearly exposed, and it looks creepy.

Garen picked up a stone from the ground, narrowed his eyes, and threw it away.

laugh!

The stone ripped through the air like a sharp arrow and accurately hit the largest fluorescent butterfly.

Suddenly, as if a hornet's nest had been poked, large fluorescent butterflies suddenly emerged from the surrounding woods and swooped toward Galleon overwhelmingly, as if the blue light spots instantly connected into an ocean.

Garen lifted his foot, and with a crash, a large cloud of black soil mixed with grass clippings spread out in all directions, hitting the surrounding fluorescent butterflies like raindrops.

In the popping sound, blue light spots fell and dimmed one after another, and a pungent smell of poisonous powder filled the air.

Garen held his breath, stepped in a flash, and appeared in front of the largest fluorescent butterfly. He picked it up with his gloved hand and stuffed it into a glass bottle, turned around and left.

Before he had gone far, a large group of blue fluorescent butterflies suddenly appeared behind him. They were extremely fast, and they were able to vaguely catch up with the galloping Galleons when flying in a non-straight line.

Garen looked back, exerted force on his feet again, and accelerated instantly, leaving the fluorescent butterflies behind.

His whole body was shaken, and countless tiny blue poisonous powders were quietly knocked down and blown behind him by the wind. It wasn't until all the poisonous powder disappeared that he resumed breathing.

He lifted the glass bottle and looked at it. The fluorescent butterfly inside was not completely dead yet, and was moving slightly in the bottle.

He was quite satisfied with this kind of butterfly. It was not slow, highly poisonous, and powerful. Compared with ordinary bugs that would die if stepped on, this kind of butterfly had a thick cuticle on its surface, and its strength was equivalent to that of a mouse. look. Sending letters and the like is absolutely no problem.

"The only shortcoming is that it is not concealed enough, but I am still satisfied." Garen recalled the blue-scaled snake he encountered before. Compared with that kind of biological totem, the fluorescent butterfly is a flying creature, and it is not in the diet of eagles. Even if It's a little more conspicuous, and the other advantages are enough to cover up such flaws.

In the laboratory

Aining wiped his mouth carefully with a white towel, while picking up the bottle of fluorescent butterflies and observing it.

"This is my first time making this kind of butterfly, but I have studied butterflies before. Although it is not in-depth, I still have some experience." He put down the bottle, "Are you sure you want fluorescent butterflies?"

"Of course." Garen stood aside and nodded after hearing the words.

"Well, a silver lantern master will have a core totem, an auxiliary general totem. As a teacher, I can make the first totem for you for free, which is regarded as a gift to you. However, if you If you want to change the totem again, you have to research and manufacture it yourself. Do you understand?"

"Understood." Garen nodded.

"Okay, let's get started."
