The First Mage

"You...have already discovered this second frost bear?" Perrin asked in disbelief.

"yes."

"..." Perrin was a little puzzled. How could this second frost bear have not shown its feet from the beginning to the end?

"Isn't this normal?" Lynch gave Palin a strange look: "The frost bear at the beginning was a female beast."

"Ah?" Palin was stunned, and glanced at the corpse of the frost bear he had dealt with: "What does that matter..."

Lynch patiently explained: "Look carefully, its eyes are blue, its claws are short, and it should have been replaced by newborns. These characteristics are obviously in the lactation period. According to the habits of female animals, it may be accompanied by two to three cubs. Damn, so I just waited."

"We are lucky, there is only one cub left beside the mother beast, otherwise it would be a bit troublesome..."

"Mafa Merlin, good observation." While Palin was still in a daze, Hawking praised Lynch with satisfaction. Although he also noticed this at the beginning, Lynch was able to realize that This is still very good.

At this time, Palin could not wait to squat down, and began to happily pack up the spoils in front of him.

Perrin was very familiar with planing. First, he took out the alchemy tool knife he carried with him, and used the technique he had practiced in the laboratory to cut open the fur, chop off the claw, and put it in his equipment pocket as a proof.

Then he cut open the adult female beast's chest, rummaged for the magic core, and felt a little regretful at the same time: "It would be great if I could take this frost bear away, just such a magic core is not enough..."

However, just when he was halfway through speaking, a hint of surprise suddenly appeared on his face, and then, he moved his knife like flying, turned over the corpse of the monster, his face was full of doubts: "No, this frost bear...why didn't it Magic core?"

"Well, I heard the teacher mentioned a similar situation. Some monsters are born with a lack of magic core." Lynch coughed: "This time we must be unlucky..."

When Hawking heard this, he leaned forward curiously and looked through it, but at this moment, he suddenly discovered something, and took out something from the frost bear: "Isn't this the magic core?"

"But I didn't notice it at all just now!" Perrin was surprised.

However, it wasn't just Palin who was surprised this time, Lin Qi also looked at the magic core with a strange look.

"Bring it to me and have a look."

The more Lynch looked at it, the more he felt that something was wrong. He reached out and took the magic core, and put it in his hand to watch carefully.

Just looking at the appearance, this thing really seems to be a magic core...

About the size of a thumb, it is roughly round, with a slightly bumpy surface, and it feels warm to the touch...

However, Lynch felt more and more strange the more he looked at it. He tried to input a magic power, and then, the magic core shattered directly, turning into a handful of gray powder...

"This...how is it broken? Wait, what is this?" Perrin was a little dumbfounded at first, but he knew the gray powder carefully.

No matter what it is, it must have nothing to do with the magic core...

"I don't know." Lynch frowned slightly, and looked at the gray powder in his hand, which was also a little strange.

In fact, the magic power of mine just now was just a test, and its power was not enough to break it up.

But for some reason, at the moment when that magic power came into contact with the gray-white powder, it was like a cat that saw a fishy smell. It rushed into the powder at a sudden speed, and immediately dispersed the thing into pieces. powder……

"Maybe this Frost Bear has got stones or something... It's almost enough, let's study it on the way." After failing to get the magic core, Perrin studied the white powder for a while, but he was a little bit uninterested.

"What kind of stone, don't talk nonsense, can it work..." Lynch's face darkened.

"It seems to make sense..."

"Ah?" Seeing Lynch affirming Palin's words, Hawking couldn't help but look at him in surprise: "What did you say?"

Lynch did not answer, but squatted down, and under Hawking's and Perrin's somewhat surprised gazes, he opened the frost bear's mouth and took a few glances: "This thing should really be a stone, and it is related to The magic spring water is related to..."

"Magic spring water? No way?" Perrin was taken aback.

It's no wonder that no matter who looks at it, there is no way to connect this ball of white powder with the magic spring water.

The magic spring water is not a real spring water, it is a semi-fluid body similar to mercury.

It itself possesses extremely strong magical properties and abundant magic power. What's even more rare is that it is extremely stable in nature and can be matched with most of the commonly used magic materials.

It's just that the output of this thing has always been very low. Even the wizards of Oakland Academy can only go around to buy it when they need it. How could it easily appear in the body of a monster and turn into a stone?

Lynch opened the mouth of the other frost bear, and said casually: "It is said in "Analysis of Eleven Magic Materials" that after the magic spring water loses its magic power, it will quickly change from semi-liquid to a gray-white solid. .”

"And the magic spring water is low-corrosion, well..." Lynch said, showing the two canine teeth that had just been pulled out of the frost bear's mouth: "The teeth of these two frost bears also have Tiny corrosion holes."

"That may not necessarily be magic spring water, there are many corrosive things..." Perrin took the canine and looked at it, but he was still a little puzzled.

"That's right, so you look at this." While speaking, Lynch threw several teeth of different sizes on the ground, and used an activated flame. These teeth burst into blue flames instantly, and it didn't take long before they turned into A cloud of gray powder.

"Should you remember the burning property of the magic spring water? Oh, it doesn't matter if you don't remember." While speaking, Lynch had already dissected the abdomens of the two frost bears.

In the bloody stomach, an unknown sticky mass was exposed. From it, Lynch separated some particles that could still see the original appearance, "It should be the residue of cedar nuts, isn't that a special product of the cedar forest? There are traces of corrosion from the magical spring water, the two should have been swallowed one after another..."

Lynch had already dissected it in such detail, but Hawking understood it and didn't ask any questions. He spread out the map of the Winter Mountains, and after a while, he frowned and said: "So, they come from the cedar forest...the magic spring water Also there?"
