Above the mage!

Chapter 84 Airship
"I arrived at the beginning of last month. I should have arrived in Bremen earlier than you, right?" God said with a smile.

He walked into the room and sat down by the unlit fireplace.

Pierre brought two cups of hot tea and sat down opposite Gode.

"That's definitely faster than me. I didn't finish everything until almost mid-January, and didn't arrive in Bremen until the 14th."

"Why are you so anxious to leave Hogan City?" Pierre asked curiously. Gode's actions were far beyond his expectations.

Gao De picked up the porcelain cup, took a sip of tea, and said honestly: "I thought your reminder made sense at the time. After returning, I found that the magic concentration in the suburbs of Hogan City has increased significantly, which matches the two signs of the formation of the earth vein."

"The most important thing is, I discovered something later." Gode told Pierre in detail about his findings at the sewer entrance.

After hearing the inside story, Pierre, the "rat", couldn't help but sigh: "They are the murderer behind the scenes."

"Have you heard of the rat?" Goder asked curiously.

He first learned about this term through "Wind Spirit and Moon Shadow".

"I've heard about it before. It's a geocentric creature that only appears in the Aedirn region. It has a symbiotic relationship with a strange plant called the Bloodthorn Vine." Pierre nodded.

"The eyes of the moss rat have the extraordinary ability to hypnotize, but they don't have much killing power. As long as you avoid the hypnotic red light from its eyes, you can easily kill it."

"And their eyes are common potion ingredients. A pair of eyeballs is worth about 3 gold."

"Because its combat power is extremely weak, and the weight of its eyeballs is extremely light, it is easy to carry, and a little bit adds up to a lot. So even if this triceratops is not as valuable as those powerful earth vein creatures, it is still one of the favorites of hunters."

This is easy to understand. Just like the corpse of a digging worm, it seems to be much more valuable than a hamster. But if there is no caravan traveling with him, how can Gaode transport it back to the city?
But it’s different for the Muscovy rat. Not only do you only need to dig out a pair of eyeballs, even if you have to carry the entire Muscovy rat, it won’t be too much of a burden.

"A pair of eyeballs is worth 3 gold.?!" Here, Gao De's mind was full of this sentence, and there was only one word "pain" in his heart.

In Hogan City, his [Flame Arrow] killed at least 7 rats.

That means at least 7 pairs of eyeballs and at least 21 Sean gold coins!
21 gold coins, just thrown away by myself for no reason?
It's okay. I shot that flaming arrow at your eyeballs and they must have been roasted. They are definitely useless. Gao De comforted himself in his heart and finally felt better.

"But this species of rat is not common. It only lives in places where bloodthorn vines grow." Pierre continued talking.

"They are typical social earth vein creatures, and they live in a symbiotic relationship with the blood thorn vines."

"The blood-thorn vine likes to eat the blood of living creatures, but it cannot move on its own, so it needs to rely on the moss rat to hypnotize living creatures and then bring them to its vicinity for it to suck their blood."

"As a reward, after sucking blood, the blood thorn vine will secrete blood mist to help the moss rat grow and enhance its extraordinary abilities."

"And the combat power of the blood thorn vine is the strongest among the 0-ring earth vein creatures."

"If the moss rat feeds it enough blood before it reaches adulthood, the blood thorn vine may even grow into a 1-ring earth vein creature."

"The mage wants to hunt the stalked rats to obtain their eyeballs. Not only is it difficult to find, but he also has to face the threat of the blood thorn vines. However, the blood thorn vines cannot move after all, so there are restrictions."

"So compared to the risks involved in hunting other leyline creatures, hunting tricholoma rats is very cost-effective."

"It's a pity that the leyline creatures like the musketeers have only appeared in the Aedirn region before. Mages like us who live in the Bremen region can only envy them."

"I didn't expect them to appear in the sewers of Hogan City now," Pierre said in amazement. "If I were 20 years younger, I would have returned to Hogan City."

Gao De nodded in agreement when he heard this. There were at least hundreds of rats in a group. A pair of eyeballs cost 3 gold coins, which meant hundreds of gold coins in profit.
Although the individual strength of a musketeer is not strong, if you think about it carefully, it is not an easy task to obtain a large number of musketeer's eyeballs.

After all, these are social earth creatures, and a large number of ants can kill an elephant.

Also, you cannot use spells with too much destructive power to attack the rats.

If you throw a spell like Fire Arrow at it, the hamster will die, but its eyeballs will most likely be destroyed, and there will be no point in hunting it.

"Kid, tell me the truth, what is your current mage level?" Pierre looked at God and asked seriously.

A mage's level is difficult for outsiders to detect, even when a high-level mage is competing with a low-level mage.

Gao De hesitated for a moment, but still answered: "I am a second-class mage apprentice, and I just made a breakthrough last month."

"Second-class wizard apprentice." Pierre muttered, "You are less than sixteen years old, right?"

"No." God shook his head. In fact, he was only thirteen years old. "He has good talent. It is not impossible for him to be promoted to a 1st ring mage in the future." Pierre said with emotion.

“Although I don’t know where you learned some of your skills, but judging from your knowledge, I think you don’t have a mentor, and it is even more impossible that you were born into a wizard family.” Pierre said directly.

After so many contacts with Gao De, he already had a deep understanding of Gao De's "narrow-mindedness".

"Wild Mage, it's not easy to become a first-ring mage. Just wait." The old man sighed, then stood up and walked into the living room in the hall. After a while, he came out with a notebook.

He handed the notes directly to Gao De and said, "Take it back and read it more when you have time."

Gao De asked in surprise: "What is this?"

"When I was young, I made a living by hunting earth vein creatures. This is the information I recorded about earth vein creatures."

"These include the specific names, appearances, characteristics, extraordinary abilities, approximate value, and specific valuable parts of various leyline creatures."

Pierre spread his hands and said, "Only high-level mages, mage organizations, and the official authorities have detailed information about leyline creatures, and they are generally not sold. I recorded and figured out these little by little by myself."

"Although I have been hunting leyline creatures for more than ten years when I was young, there are actually not many species of leyline creatures that I have recorded, only about twenty species."

"After all, my strength is limited, so I can only attack the ground creatures that I am familiar with and easy to attack."

"But these are common 0-ring leyline creatures in the Bremen area. They should be of some use to you."

Gao De took the notes as if they were treasures and said, "It's quite useful."

Not to mention actually encountering a leyline creature, knowing its characteristics, abilities, and weaknesses would be a huge advantage in battle.

The analysis of the value of the earth vein creatures alone is enough to make this note worth a fortune.

Otherwise, for Gao De, the situation of knowing nothing about the treasure like the eyeball of the shrew will definitely happen again.

If he does not have enough understanding of the earth vein creatures, even if his algorithmic ability is not sufficient, it will be difficult for him to hunt the earth vein creatures.

The risk is high and the return is small.

The two sat in front of the fireplace and talked for a long time, accompanied by the occasional sounds of pedestrians outside the window.

It mainly tells about Pierre's experiences and lessons when he was young hunting earth vein creatures in the wild.

This may be why people, once they get older, like to reminisce about their "glory days" with their younger generations.

Goder listened attentively, with both anticipation for hunting the underground creatures and gratitude towards Pierre in his heart.

He had no relationship with Pierre, and they had only done a few business deals together, but Pierre gave him a lot of help.

"When I was young, I always wanted to go out and see the world, such as visiting the city of Saint-Sien. Unfortunately, I never found a way, which is quite a pity." Seeing that they had been chatting for a long time, Pierre was ready to end the conversation.

"Now that I'm older and my mentality is older, I think it's good to live a stable life in one place."

"If you want to go from Bremen to Saint-Sien, is there no way to get there directly?" When mentioning Saint-Sien, Godard actually had some questions, so he asked following the topic.

He has been in Bremen for a month and has been looking for ways to go to Saint-Sien, but he has not found any news.

"Generally speaking, if you want to go to Saint-Sien City, you can only go by water."

"There is no direct water connection from Bremen to Saint-Sien, so the only way is to keep circulating."

"If you want to get from Bremen to Saint-Sien, you'll have to transfer at least five or six times."

"So troublesome..." Gao De frowned.

"But if you're talking about a direct way, it does exist, it's just that ordinary people can't access it." Pierre changed the subject and continued.

"What is that?" Gao De's curiosity was immediately aroused.

"Airship." Pierre said lightly.
