Standing in front of Matt's corpse, Linley could not help but sigh. At the same time, he could not help but rub the scar on his chest.
The scar here was the one that almost took his life.
“Compared to Nina [Ni'na], you are too low. "Linley shook her head and sighed. This Matt doesn't actually have much of a friendship with him, and they are nothing more than temporary travel companions who meet on the road. There was no way Linley would place too much trust in him.
Moreover…
After experiencing Nina, how could Linley casually present his back to others?
"Squeaking squeaks!" Little Shadowmouse, Bebe, came carrying a backpack that was on Matt's back. He immediately said to Linley through their link, "Boss, hurry up and take a look and see how many magicite cores there are here. In this month, all the other assassins combined did not have as much magic nucleus as those first assassins had. ”
Doehring Cowart appeared on Linley's side as well.
"Linley, it seems like this little Shadowmouse that you have raised really enjoys counting magicite cores. "Doehring Cowart chuckles.
“It looks like that, just a little bit. "Linley received the backpack and opened it while joking with Bebe," Bebe, this time when you killed Matt's colleague, I believe you used your claws instead of your sharp teeth. Why don't you use your ferocious little teeth? ”
Bebe sat up straight, took out some arrogant great-grandsons, then said mentally, "Boss, I, Bebe, have incredible prowess. My sharp claws are no less fierce than my teeth. And Matt's partner is too evil. Biting him would stain my teeth. ”After saying this, Bebe deliberately displayed a 'spit' mouthful of saliva.
The image of the little Shadowmouse spitting saliva was too human-like. Upon seeing this, Linley immediately started laughing.
“It's enough, oi, Bebe. See, that fellow Matt has a lot of magicite cores in his backpack. There are about thirty. It seems like he didn't waste much time during this month. But the best core in these thirty was only the core of the fifth rank. ”
Linley carefully began to inspect the core.
During these thirty days, he had killed a number of magical beasts, as well as some people who wanted to kill him. All combined, he had nearly three hundred magicite cores, with a total appraisal of perhaps around forty thousand gold coins!
"Fatty thousand gold. If father knew ... then .. "Dreaming about his father's reaction when he gave him all that gold, Linley could not help but feel happy.
"It makes sense that you could get so much" Doehring Cowart said. "Other than the magical beast you killed, out of the three hundred magic cores, everything came from someone else's backpack. ”
Linley nodded in agreement.
The first assassin ended up donating him 15,000 magic core gold coins. The others, all combined, only had a little more than that first assassin.
“The Mountain Beast Range is extremely dangerous, so most of the people here have been flocking with others. But assassins are rarely willing to attack groups, as they generally specialize in killing someone instantly, which is why they prefer to fight one-on-one. ”
Doehring Cowart suddenly started laughing, his white mustache hovering. "Linley, look at yourself. Yes, you may be tall and strong, but your face is still filled with childish air. And the fine fur over your lips? All of this proves something … "
"You're just a kid!"
Doehring Cowart laughed out loud. "Linley, in this vast mountain range, when the assassins found a child here for his first training exercise, with such a childish face, was there, how could they not take action against you? That's why, in one short month, you've met so many murderers. ”
Linley laughed and nodded as well.
He was only fifteen this year. Even though he was 1 year old. At 8 meters tall, anyone with good eyes can tell that he is just a child.
“Most magi of the fifth and sixth rank will probably only earn a few thousand gold coins from magicite cores in a month here. And all of those cores will be gained through the struggle of life and death. After all, the Magical Beast Mountain Range was extremely dangerous. “Doehring Cowart sighed emotionally.
Linley nodded in agreement. “It's dangerous. I have been living in the outer regions this entire time, and at most I have experienced magical beasts of the sixth rank. But I have been hurt a few times. If not for the Coiling Dragon's ring, if not for the fact that I am both a magus of two elements of the fifth rank and a warrior of the fourth rank, and if not for the fact that I have Bebe, maybe I'm done, traveling alone like this. ”
He turned to look at the little Shadowmouse, Bebe, who was currently playing with the magicite core.
Calming himself, Linley gathered the various cores, and then set off once more, with Bebe behind him. He would continue his training in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts. After all, based on his original plan, he would stay here for two months.
… .
Every day, Linley would fight against local ferocious beasts, and his ability in combining his abilities as a magus with his abilities as a warrior grew better and better. He also grew up in practical experience in using earth-style and wind-style magic in combat. Gradually, Linley began to suffer fewer and fewer injuries in the battle. Naturally, as Linley gradually got closer and closer to the core area, magical beasts of the sixth rank started to grow more and more, and Linley started to be more cautious as well.
On the 46th day of Linley's entry into the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts.
"Desire!"
Ripples began to appear on the surface of the small, silent lake. A human figure suddenly appeared from within. That's Linley. Linley used a piece of cloth to casually wash himself.
The little Shadowmouse, Bebe, stood on the beach, watching Linley shower with an envious look in his eyes. After squeaking a few times, he started jumping around before diving straight into the lake. Seeing this, Linley could not help but laugh, and then he continued to bathe himself.
"Haha, that's enough, Bebe, haha, that's enough!" Suddenly Linley laughed out loud.
"Oh, boss, are you afraid of being tickled?" The little shadowmouse rose to the surface of the water, its merciless black eyes gleaming with a hint of damage.
Chuckling, Linley walked to the edge of the lake. Taking off a set of clean clothes from his backpack, he put on the new clothes. Changing clothes after a nice shower is a very luxurious event. And then, Linley started washing the recently removed clothes in the lake, then hanging them onto a tree branch to dry. With a leap, Linley landed onto another branch in the tree. Lying down, he watched Bebe playfully in the lake water.
He watched Bebe happily jump around in the water. Sometimes, Bebe would dive to the bottom of the lake, while at other times, Bebe would lie on his back on the surface of the lake.
"Rumble" "Rumble" "Rumble" "Rumble".
The ground suddenly started to tremble a little. Based on the rumbling rhythm, Linley guessed that it should be caused by something walking. Linley could not help but feel shocked, and he looked directly south, in the direction the commotion was coming from. He saw an obscure large shadow emerge from within the south side of the lake, but after a short time, Linley was able to clearly see the figure.
It was at least two stories tall, and was covered with huge fire-red scales, like a shield, which also protruded and covered all four of its limbs like scaly armor. Its long tail was roughly half of its entire body, nimble and nimble like a whip. His two sinister eyes, like pomegranate stones, each the size of a lantern, stared at the surface of the lake. Two plumes of white smoke continuously shot out from his nostrils.
Linley was in total shock, and his body froze, even as his heart accelerated.
“Velocidragon. Magical beast of the seventh rank – Velocidragon! "
