Witch, Fireball and Steam Evil God

Chapter 99: Cat is very good at pinching

"In this case, everyone has no objection to the voting results, right?"

When five golden lions fell face-up in front of everyone, Ivy read out the results of the vote. In order to ensure the fairness of the vote, Golden Retriever's right to vote was deprived, so it could only use a strand of hair to make a thumb-like gesture to indicate its position.

Among them, even Bi'an, who had just threatened Rowena, cast a vote in favor.

Just as the first great craftsman wrote in the "Imperial Grimoire", magicians and elemental shapers complement each other, and only when the two cooperate with each other can this chariot continue to run for a long time.

They really need a great magician to join them.

"Then comes the first topic."

The mountains of Ximu Town became an excellent meeting place. They sat in the open space in front of the cave. Winter and Ethan worked together to set up magic traps outside the cave and transformed it into their temporary storage area for goods. As the news of Bi'an's death spread throughout the empire, the elite knights of the Temple of Netheril left the country, and it was time for Laosen's work on magic technology to get on track.

The good news is that they obtained an important research material last night.

The remains of the evil god's creation called the Giant God Soldier were attached with a spell that even Winter had never seen before.

"What do you think about the remains of the Giant God?"

"The easiest way is to turn it into armor."

Bi'an took off the light armor she always wore, leaving only a single layer of clothing underneath. She showed everyone the secret of the light armor, "This was made by craftsmen in the imperial capital, using dragon bones and dragon tendons as raw materials... It was the evil dragon that His Majesty Henry hunted at the border of the empire. Although this armor is thin, it cannot be penetrated by muskets and arrows, and it is also highly resistant to spells below level three."

She paused and offered her opinion, "If this entire arm is used as material to make armor, it can arm an entire militia."

This is definitely the armor that countless knights dream of. It ignores magic and physical attacks. It is like the protection of the Knight Lord himself!

“But there’s a problem.”

Higan spread out his left hand and tore off the clothes on his shoulders, showing everyone the scorch marks left by the burning. "This was left when we were moving the Giant God Soldier last night. Even if it was really made into a set of armor, it would most likely be a cursed armor that no normal person could wear."

Bi'an thought she had thick skin. The material that could make her feel hot and burn her would probably make most people lose a layer of skin just by putting on armor. "Rather than fire, it's more like some kind of curse. Brother Ethan, can your fireball spell purify these curses?"

“Yes, but there are some side effects.”

Ethan and Winter were the first two to arrive. Before the others came to the "venue", they carefully studied the remains of the Giant God Soldier. "I took a small piece as a purification sample, and the result was that the magic immunity effect disappeared along with the curse."

All they got was a plain, disgusting hunk of meat that served no purpose.

"Sure enough, I knew it wouldn't be that simple."

"That is to say, we need to find a way to extract the curse from the wreckage and study it. Only after we understand its nature can we make extensive use of it."

Rowena continued, "I have seen similar research before when I was in the Astrology Guild, but I have no background and the president doesn't like me, so I have never been able to apply for funding. I can only take a look. If you need, I can try to test it with the magician's theory."

After some communication, Ethan discovered that in addition to their main professions, each of them possessed unique skills.

Bi'an learned armor forging from the blacksmiths in the imperial capital for a period of time. The light armor she is wearing has been modified by her many times. The musket she named "Red Rose" was also forged by her personally.

This is a weapon that does not require the use of projectiles and is completely driven by magic, which to a certain extent makes up for the knight's weakness in long-range combat. Seeing that the discussion was heated, Ethan moved under a tree and lay on the ground to enjoy this rare leisure time.

In comparison, the elemental mapping in which he excelled was of little help on this issue.

Soon, Maomao walked to his side with graceful steps.

"I heard a piece of gossip in Ximu Town today. Do you want to know?"

"what news?"

The cat didn't answer him. Instead, it tilted its head cutely and stared at Ethan with its red eyes, as if tears were about to ooze out of it.

"Meow~"

The look of seeking credit, coupled with the almost explicit meow of a cat.

Rowena, who happened to be passing by, saw this shocking scene. She was stunned at first, and then she shouted, "You, you, you! How can you make such a sound? How did you do it? Wow! Are you asking for a hug? If you yell at me again like you did just now, I will hug you!"

These words made Ethan's scalp tingle. He saw that the cat's eyes were curved into crescent shapes, and the gathered ice elements suddenly became restless.

He felt a chill that touched his soul.

The cat still tilted its head towards him cutely and smiled, but time skipped.

The only person who changed during the time jump was Rowena. At this moment, she was lying on the ground with her right hand bent forward. The "fatal injury" should be the ice arrow that pierced her buttocks.

Rowena used up her last bit of strength and left a "death message" on the ground.

——"This cat is super good at pinching!"

Ethan was in awe of Rowena. Just with her mouth, she had been working with Maomao for so long without being killed. This could be called a miracle.

"Meow~"

The cat called out to Ethan again.

She heard an important piece of news in the town, but she was just a cat and couldn't use human language without being hugged.

With the previous experience of Rowena's murder, Ethan reached out and picked up the cat. The cat immediately curled up comfortably on his chest into a round white ball. With his help, it successfully recalled the human language, "Have you heard of the Heywood Mine?"

"I heard that many people in the town have been transferred to work there."

Ethan said.

But most of the news about the Heywood Mine is negative. For example, those who owed huge debts to the Imperial Reserve often lost contact after being sent there to work and never returned.

"People in the town said that a riot broke out there. The guards were all killed and the miners occupied the mine. The Imperial Reserve is asking Baron Gladin for help, hoping that he can send out his guards to suppress the riot. If nothing unexpected happens, your good friend Hagrid should be transferred to the mine for support."
