Passive · Mercury collection lv4: The mercury bag will collect the surrounding mercury, and the holder can be immune to a weak degree of mercury poison. When the mercury bag is damaged, the collected mercury will be used for self-repair. 】

In addition to a large collection of potion books that Art wanted, there were also several sets of alchemy crafting utensils.

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

[These are the books prepared for you, Viscount Baixi, no, the alchemy books of Count Baixi are already out of date. As for the alchemy materials, you can find them by yourself. I can’t teach you any spells. Only by traveling can one be considered a real wizard.Finally, although Baroud should have already told you, I still want to say it again, and come to the Earl of Gloria in two years—if you are still alive. ]
The words written on the parchment made Art slightly taken aback.

two years later?
Originally, he didn't pay much attention to it, but Duke Mercury's order again made him pay attention.

However, after thinking hard, I still couldn't get any information, so I had to let it go first.

As for what's inside—

He tried it, and it still takes about a second to collect things in the quicksilver bag. Things that may be used at any time during the battle cannot be placed in it, and some valuable things cannot be placed in it.
After thinking about it, he transferred the alchemy books and alchemy tools to the inventory, and put the used blue blood gems, the demon corpses used as food for the crow's servants, and the last two corpses of demonized wolves into the mercury bag. Only a demon corpse and an enchanted wolf corpse are left in the inventory, as materials for the corpse bard's spell.

The map purchased from Heros was also placed in the inventory by him.

Although he now has the skill book of the automatic secretary, he needs skill points, and he doesn't plan to learn it now. He still has to save a little with only 9 skill points left.

After closing the door of the house, and taking a last look at the house that he had bought for less than ten days, Art walked towards the north gate of the city.

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

Some sparse woods are scattered on both sides of the road, and the sunlight falling from the sky penetrates the gaps between the trees and falls on the winding path deep into the forest and several abandoned cabins around it.

The dilapidated and obviously cracked exterior walls show that no one has lived here for a long time.

In the middle of several huts, there is a wide circular platform and a well, and beside it is a decayed wooden drying wall. Low shrubs and ferns have climbed the platform and grown, connecting to the The trail to the hunter's lodge was also cut in several places by vegetation.

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

And this situation made the travelers along the main road shout.

"Damn it! It's raining! Let's go over there! I remember the hunter's lodge over there!"

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

"Okay! Joad, tell Judy to shut up, her voice is too shrill!"

"Hey guys, we should hide from the rain now instead of fighting, even though Judy killed your dog."

"He's not just a dog! Findo, you know, Lanto has been with me for 13 years!"

"Yes Yes Yes!"

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

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

It was a young man wearing a strange black dress and a dark brown robe. He seemed to be only seventeen or eighteen years old. When the six people entered the room, they found that the other party had just taken off the dark brown robe on his body. Holding a harp and looking like a troubadour?

Although they were dressed a little strangely, the harp allowed them to confirm each other's identity.

The heart that I mentioned at the beginning was also put down.

After all, whether it's the mercenary guild, the church, or the nobles, they all advertise that there are likely to be evil spellcasters hiding in some remote places, and even if there aren't, there may be some robbers.

In fact, these things do not need publicity at all, everyone can understand.

The leader Yoder looked at the young man, because he was waiting for someone to appear, the other party raised his head, his pair of very energetic light blue eyes seemed a little surprised by their appearance.

Those who are not extraordinary people don't know that when their mental power becomes stronger, their eyes will also look bright.

"Hello." As the leader, Yoder was very talkative. After thinking that the other party should be safe, he walked up and smiled, "I'm Yoder, are you also hiding from the rain?"

"Yes." The young man nodded, and the other party smiled and picked up the flat top hat that was lying on the ground. "It suddenly rained, so I hid in. The weather just now was actually pretty good."

"Yes."

Looking at the other party's smile, Yoder suddenly felt that the other party was very kind, 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 off from Rose City. I want to compile poetry about what happened in Rose City and spread it to the northern port." The young man smiled and looked very friendly.

The two started chatting.

The few people behind looked at each other, as if Yoder had become more talkative?
But they didn't think too much, they also walked into the hunter's hut from the door, and began to arrange their wet clothes.

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

Rumbling--

"what!"

One of the six women screamed.

"It's really timid." Another woman curled her lips with a look of disdain.

No one else made a sound, because of the thunder, they all looked outside the house.

"Ah————" a rough and hoarse cry sounded in the distance.

The crowd couldn't help being surprised, and when they recognized that it was the cry of a crow, they breathed a sigh of relief.

And the young man, or Art, glanced at these people lightly.

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

According to the news from the mercenary guild, this place was originally a temporary foothold for some hunters, and these three wooden houses were also built by the hunters at that time. However, this place has been abandoned now.

The reason is because there have been monsters here, and there are a lot of them.

A hunter discovered the appearance of a monster while hunting and reported it to the mercenary guild. However, when a mercenary group from the mercenary guild received the commission, no monster was found here.

The mercenary group searched carefully for two days under the leadership of the hunter, but they still couldn't find it.

Then, the entrustment at that time ended with the result of false information, and the hunter was also fined a sum of money.

However, when the hunter paid the fine at the mercenary guild and returned to the hunter's hut dejectedly, ready to contact other hunters to continue hunting, and to make up for his loss by working more, he found that the hunters in several other huts gone.

He originally thought that the hunters believed him and left immediately after hearing his words.

However, when he was about to see what other useful things his companions had left behind, he found that all of their things were still there.

Such a situation made him puzzled, but he also felt that these companions were not just leaving temporarily—because it had been three days, and even if they went to Red Rose Town to sell fur and animal meat, it would not take that much time to go back and forth.

Confused, he waited another day.

His companion still hasn't come back?

"Could it be that he accidentally missed and was killed by a wild beast?"

The hunter suddenly felt a little frightened, but he still bravely entered the forest by himself.

As a result, he found the corpses of his companions in the forest—they were bones, bones that had been eaten clean, and the scattered equipment allowed the hunter to recognize their identities as his companions .

The frightened hunter ran to the mercenary guild again, and because he was afraid of being misreported again, he even brought a few bones of his companions and the torn clothes on the ground.

This kind of evidence made the mercenary guild pay attention, and the president at the time was the "Sierra Gibbon" Baran who listed it as a five-sided task-a task that needed to be solved by a strong man of high rank.

Because, after the identification of the Viscount Red Rose, the conclusion was that—maybe it was a gregarious monster, it might be a blood crow or a blood bat, or a monster like a beetle or a rat.

The skeletons, clothes scraps and descriptions brought by the hunter showed that the two corpses were completely eaten up, without any blood left, and the eaten clothes were not eaten, only part of them were eaten. , and there is no blood on it.

As a result, it feels like the creatures that attacked the hunters only ate the flesh and blood.

The creatures attacked by the blood crows are more in line with this characteristic, and the blood stained on clothes and other places will also be absorbed by them, while the blood bats will suck the blood of the creatures dry, turning the meat into shriveled jerky, It is also possible to be eaten by some wild animals later.

And the beetle is a kind of monster with an exoskeleton on its back that looks like a shell. These monsters will eat up the creatures they meet, leaving only bones, which are also suspected objects.

Fungus rat is the name of a fungus monster called "Black Forest Red Eye Fungus" when it parasitizes rat creatures. This kind of fungus will emit spores and parasitize certain creatures in an area. This large area "Mushroom rat" is a black forest red-eyed fungus, and their predation characteristics are also like this.
