In addition to a lot of potions books that Yate wanted, there were also several alchemy tools.

There is also a piece of parchment in the most conspicuous position.

[These are books for you, Viscount Baixi, no, the alchemy books of the Earl Baixi are already out of date. As for the alchemy materials, you can find them yourself. I can’t teach you any spells. A wizard must go through Traveling can be regarded as a real wizard. Finally, although Barrod should have told you, I will say it again. Two years later, I will come to the Count of Colola—if you are still alive. ]

The words written on the parchment made Yate a little stunned.

Two years later?

Originally, he hadn't paid much attention to it, but Duke Mercury's instructions once again made him have to take it seriously.

However, after hard thinking and meditation, there was still no information, so I had to let go.

As for the things inside--

He tried it. It still takes about a second for the mercury bag to collect things. You can't put things that you may need at any time during the battle, and you can't put some valuables in it...

After thinking about it, he transferred the alchemy books and alchemy equipment to the inventory, and the used sapphire gems, the demon corpses used as food for the crow servants, and the last two enchanted wolf corpses were placed in the mercury bag. Only one demon corpse and one enchanted wolf corpse were left in the inventory as the magical materials for the corpse poet.

The map purchased from Helos was also placed in his inventory.

Although he now has a skill book for the automatic secretary, he needs skill points. He does not intend to learn it now. He still has to save a province with only 9 skill points left.

Closing the door of the residence, taking a last look at the residence that had been bought for less than ten days, Yate walked towards the north gate.

.......

The next day, at noon, north of Rose City, at the edge of a large forest.

Some sparse woods are scattered on both sides of the road. The sunlight falling from the sky penetrates the gaps between the trees and falls on the winding paths deep into the forest and the surrounding abandoned wooden houses.

The dilapidated and obviously cracked exterior wall shows that there has been no one living here for a long time.

In the middle of the huts, there is a wide circular platform and a well. Next to it is a sun-drying wooden wall that has collapsed and corroded. Low shrubs and ferns have climbed onto this platform, growing and connecting to The trail leading to the hunter's hut was also cut off by vegetation in several places.

Suddenly, the sky darkened without any warning, and bean-sized raindrops fell sparsely.

And this kind of situation caused the travelers who were walking along the road to shout.

"Damn! It's raining! Let's go over there! I remember there is a hunter's cabin over there!"

"My God! My God! It was still sunny just now!"

"Okay! Jodd, let Judy shut her mouth, her voice is too high!"

"Hey, guys, we should hide from the rain instead of arguing now, although Judy killed your dog."

"He is not just a dog! Fendor, you know, Lanto has been with me for thirteen years!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

The noisy voices of the six people gradually moved away into the forest.

When they came to the hunter's cabin, they were surprised to find that there were already people in one of the rooms.

It was a young man wearing a strange black dress and a dark brown robe. He looked only seventeen or eighteen years old. When the six entered the room, they found that the other party just took off his dark brown robe, with his left hand Holding a harp, looking like a troubadour?

Although they were dressed strangely, the harp allowed them to confirm the identity of each other.

The heart I mentioned at the beginning is also let go.

After all, whether it is a mercenary guild or a church or nobles, it is propagated that in some remote places, there may be evil spellcasters hiding, and even if there are not, there may be some bandits.

In fact, these things do not need to be publicized at all, everyone can understand.

The leader, Yod, looked at the young man. Because of the appearance of himself and others, the other party raised his head. The pair of light blue eyes that seemed very energetic seemed a little surprised at their appearance.

They are not supernatural beings who don't know that after their mental power becomes stronger, their eyes will also look bright.

"Hello." As the leader, Yod is very talkative. After thinking that the other party should be in no danger, he walked up and smiled, "I am Yod, are you also hiding from the rain?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, and the other person smiled and picked up the top hat that was lying on the ground. "Suddenly it rained and I hid in. The weather just now was actually pretty good."

"Yes."

Looking at the other person’s smile, Jod suddenly felt that the other person was very kind, just like a neighbor’s child. He walked over to the young man and said with a smile:

"Are you going to Rose City, too?"

"No, I set out from Rose City. I want to compose poems about what happened in Rose City and send it to the northern port." The young man smiled and looked very friendly.

The two began to chat.

The few people behind looked at each other, as if Yod had become more talkative?

But they didn't think too much, and walked into the hunter's cabin from the door, and began to sort out their wet clothes.

At this moment, the sky outside the house flashed a blue light, and then, there was a rumbling sound.

Rumbling--

"what!"

One of the six women exclaimed.

"Really timid." Another woman curled her lips with a look of disdain.

No one made a sound, because of the thunder, their eyes all looked outside the house.

"Yah-yah-" a coarse hoarse cry sounded in the distance.

Everyone couldn't help being surprised. When they recognized that it was the crow's cry, they breathed a sigh of relief.

The young man, or Yate glanced at these people indifferently.

Unlike these people, he didn't just come here to hide from the rain.

The news from the Mercenary Guild was that this place was originally a temporary foothold for some hunters. These three wooden houses were also built by hunters at the time, but now this place has been abandoned.

The reason is that monsters have appeared here, and there are a lot of them.

A hunter discovered the appearance of the monster while hunting and reported it to the mercenary guild, but when a mercenary group of the mercenary guild received the commission, it did not find the monster here.

The mercenary group had searched carefully for two days under the leadership of the hunter, but still did not find it.

Then, the commission ended with false information, and the hunter was fined a sum of money.

However, when the hunter paid a fine to the mercenary guild and returned to the hunter’s hut depressed, he was about to contact other hunters to continue hunting, and he was ready to work harder to make up for his loss, but he found the hunters in several other huts Gone.

He originally thought the hunters believed him, and left directly after hearing his words.

However, when he was about to see what could be used by his companions, he found that their things were still there.

This situation made him puzzled, but he felt that these companions weren't just leaving temporarily—because it had been three days, even if they went to Red Rose Town to sell fur and animal meat, they didn't need so much time back and forth.

Under doubt, he waited for another day.

His companion still hasn't come back?

"Is it accidentally killed by a beast?"

The hunter was suddenly scared, but he still boldly entered the forest by himself.

As a result, he found the bodies of his companions in the forest-they were a few bones, bones that had been eaten cleanly, and the scattered equipment allowed the hunter to recognize them as his companions. .

The scared hunter ran to the mercenary guild again, because he was afraid of being misreported once again, he even took a few of his companion's bones and broken clothing on the ground.

This kind of evidence made the Mercenary Guild take it seriously, and the chairman at the time was still the "Serra Gibbon" Balan who listed it as a five-sided task - a task that needs to be solved by a powerful person with high power.

Because, under the identification of the Viscount Red Rose, the conclusion is that it may be some kind of social monster, it may be a blood crow or a blood bat, or it may be a monster such as a shellworm or a fungus rat.

The bones, scraps of clothes and the described condition that the hunter brought showed that the two bodies were completely eaten clean without any blood stains, and the clothes that were eaten were not eaten, only part of it was eaten. , And there is no blood on it.

As a result, it felt like the creature that had attacked those hunters only ate the flesh and blood.

The creatures attacked by blood crows fit this feature, and the blood stained on clothing and other places will also be absorbed by them, while blood bats will **** up the blood of the creatures and turn the meat into shriveled dried meat. It is also possible to be eaten by certain beasts later.

The ban shell insect is a monster with an exoskeleton on its back that looks like a shell. These monsters will eat all the creatures they encounter, leaving only the bones. They are also suspected objects.

Fungus rat is the name for a kind of fungus called "black forest red eye fungus" when it parasitizes on rodent organisms. This kind of fungus will emit spores and parasitize certain organisms in an area. This large area "Bacteria" is a black forest red eye fungus, and their predation characteristics are also like this.
