Great Elf Sage

"The change of heat and cold in the world, one of the four cornerstones of the existence of all things, the sourceless fire, light it in my name!"

Several small fireballs flew quickly towards a demonic pig that was taller than a human. .biquge

These small fireballs exploded instantly after touching the dark and hard skin of the demon pig, forming a small sea of ​​​​fire, from which the howling of the demon pig came.

Not long after, the demon pig, whose entire skin was ignited by magic flames, fell to the ground amidst howling sounds, and its body soon became silent again.

"The skin of these demonic pigs is too hard, and their resistance to flames is also very high. Only fire-attribute magic with a second-level or higher level of 'attached burning' effect can cause real damage to them."

Shana's forehead was sweating. This demonic pig had been encountered by them for some time. The two of them had been using a ring of magic to fight it, but it had no great effect. In order to prevent the noise of the battle from attracting other monsters, the two could only use the second-ring magic that consumes more energy multiple times in a row, and then the battle was quickly ended.

Julian glanced at the tall building ruins in the distance and said with some worry:

"Next, we have to go deep into the demon pig's lair. If we have to use the second-ring magic every time to kill a demon pig, our mental power will definitely not be enough."

After casting a water-attribute magic to extinguish the flames, Shana wiped the sweat from her forehead and said:

"We are still too arrogant. We always think that we can solve all problems with our powerful magic power like our teacher, but in fact we are just low-level magicians with less than the third ring..."

Shana's tone was a little low, but she wasn't disappointed, she just put her mentality in order.

"How about I use the martial arts taught by Mr. John later..." Julian said hesitantly.

Originally, the two of them had agreed to use only the power of magic to resolve this incident, but based on the current situation, it seemed that this was not feasible.

But Shana objected to this.

"No! The teacher said that you can't use methods other than magic unless you have to. Now the situation is not at the point where we need to give up."

Julian scratched his head and said:

"Then...what should we do next?"

Shana sighed. Although she had long known that Julian was a piece of wood, after going out on adventures together, she finally understood why Julian, who had been an adventurer in Kailon City for two years, could not even get the lowest wooden sign. 'I haven't even obtained the adventurer qualification.

So Shana had no choice but to explain:

"Mr. John has long reminded us that when operating in unknown places, the most important thing is not strength, but intelligence collection. Except for the intelligence we obtained in the slums at the beginning, we have never done any intelligence on the jungle area. The collection work...the awe of the residents of the slums and the weak monsters we encountered at the beginning have caused us to fall into blind arrogance about our own strength."

"So, we should first collect information about the Demon Pig's lair?"

"Yes, the news from Mr. John is that 'the magic pig's lair is involved in magic-related incidents.' Therefore, our first task is to investigate what this magic-related incident is, not to clean up the magic pig's lair."

"So that's it, Shana, you are so smart!"

"Obviously you are too stupid!"

……

After a while, Julian and Shana hid in the crown of a nearly thirty-meter-high tree near the Demon Pig's lair, quietly observing what was going on below.

Shana grew up in Kailong Mountain City. She was quite good at climbing trees as she climbed over walls and walls every day, but she was not as delicate as a girl born into a businessman's family.

At this time, not far below the big tree where the two men were hiding, several demon pigs were fighting and biting a burnt demon pig corpse on the ground.

"These demon pigs seem to only act on instinct and have no intelligence. They are full of hostility to all living animals except demon pigs, but as long as their companions die, they will eat their companions without hesitation." Shana said while observing.

"Moreover, they don't seem to care at all about creatures beyond a certain distance." Julian added.

This is already the fourth magic pig they have killed in a high-altitude sneak attack with magic. Every time the magic pig dies, its companions will eat it without hesitation, but they seem completely indifferent to the fireballs from above. noticed.

Soon, several demon pigs ate up their dead companions without even leaving any bones.

These demonic pigs that ate their companions began to emit turbid magical light.

Their bodies were slowly getting bigger, shrouded in magic light.

One of the largest demon pigs has grown to nearly two meters tall. After the turbid magic light faded, the largest magic pig suddenly froze, sniffed, and then looked up in the direction of Julian and Shana.

The two of them already had some experience with this, and before the demon pig noticed them, they climbed up to a higher branch.

The largest demon pig sniffed for a long time and found nothing, so it lowered its head and grunted to follow its companions who had walked away.

"These magic pigs will not have this situation when they eat other creatures, but as long as they eat their companions, there will be a phenomenon that seems to be evolution, and the range of perception will also become larger..." Shana analyzed the information.

Julian, who was deeply ashamed of Shana's previous contempt, also learned to analyze the information, and said in a deep voice:

"The habits of this kind of creature are too strange. By the way, I also found that they only have anus for excretion, and there are no things used for mating at all. I really don't know how they give birth to children. Obviously they don't even have that thing and There’s no hole, so it’s going to come out of the anus? But what do they insert it in? Could it be a tongue..."

As Julian spoke, even he couldn't help being shocked, as if he had discovered a new world.

"What, what are you talking about!" Shana's face turned red and she glared at Julian.

"Huh? I'm wondering how they mate...ah, it hurts!" midway through Julian's words, Shana suddenly pinched his waist and almost fell from the tree.

……

To the west of the Siris ruins, John split a mid-level wolf monster in front of him into two ice sculptures with a sword, and said with a smile to the three young people behind him:

"Originally, I was not prepared to participate in the incident at the Demon Pig's Lair, but since you want an experience, come here and experience it."

The three young men, two men and one woman, are all only fifteen or sixteen years old, but they all appear to have relatively mature temperaments. It can be seen from their firm and emotional eyes that they seem to have experienced hardships that ordinary people cannot imagine.

One of the young men with dark skin and strong physique said excitedly:

"Will we be able to see Mr. Julian and Miss Shana this time?"

Hearing this, the other two teenagers also looked at John, expecting his answer.

They have been following John for a while, and they all know that Julian and Shana are magic geniuses recognized by the powerful Mr. Sage and accepted as students.

In addition, in the past six months, the 'last Knox royal family' Julian and the 'last Knox princess' Shana have announced their rebellion against the English nobles and become disciples of a powerful 'sage', which has been reported in the bard. Gradually became known through the singing.

Therefore, the three people with similar experiences regard Julian and Shana as seniors worthy of respect and yearning.

Seeing the longing looks on the three people's faces, John really couldn't find the true image of Julian and Shana, so he suppressed a smile and said:

"Yes, Mr. Sage has ordered Julian and Shana to investigate the truth behind the magic pig incident that indirectly led to the split of the Fama Kingdom. Judging by the time, the two of them are probably already collecting information in the ruins. Bar."

"What kind of people are Mr. Julian and Miss Shana?" the girl with a cold expression asked.

Hearing this question, John smiled. Although Julian was a hopeless dullard and Shana was also a tough-talking and soft-hearted person, as half of his students, John was still very proud of them. , so he said:

"They are two very good children...Julian's emotions are a little slow, but his intuition is very keen on certain key matters, and his talent for swordsmanship and magic is also very high...As for Shana, although she sometimes speaks more He is mean, but he is actually a very warm-hearted and good boy, he is also very smart, and he is always the first to find out where the problem lies.”
