Frilian: The Adventure of the Hero

The two people squatted down in front of the [Demonized Rabbit].

Frillie nudged the rabbit's body with her staff, her expression turning somewhat serious.

"Shane, do you know how long the breeding cycle of rabbits is?"

"..."

Why are you suddenly asking this?

Xia En tried hard to recall, and seemed to vaguely remember that rabbits reproduced relatively quickly, but he really couldn't remember the exact number of days in their breeding cycle.

How does this relate to the current situation?

Seeing that Shane did not answer, Frilian kindly gave him an explanation.

"The breeding cycle of rabbits is usually 28 to 32 days. Female rabbits can reproduce 5 to 6 times a year, giving birth to 3 to 12 baby rabbits each time. The newborn rabbits will be fully grown after 6 months and then continue to enter the breeding cycle."

As Frilian spoke, Shane's expression gradually turned serious.

He immediately understood what Frillian meant.

According to the information left by Haita, the first person with horns appeared in this village six years ago. This means that the first demonized rabbit has been around for at least six years. Therefore, the demonized rabbits have been breeding in this area for at least six years.

How many rabbits can be bred in 6 years?

He didn't need to calculate to know that the number was astronomical.

He stiffly turned his head and looked around the camp.

In the darkness beyond the reach of the campfire, countless [Demonized Rabbits] seemed to be lurking, and his hand unconsciously rested on the hilt of his sword.

These rabbits can't just stay put. Could there be other places in the Turk region where the same "outbreak" has occurred?

The severity of the situation far exceeded their expectations.

"If that's the case, we'll probably have to travel all over the Turk region."

Frillie nodded.

This was exactly what she wanted to tell Xia En.

In order to completely eliminate the hidden danger, they must quickly inspect the entire Tak region and at the same time send a message to [Holy City Shutral] requesting the monks' support, hoping that they can help visit all the cities and villages adjacent to the Tak region.

Despite their amazing reproductive capacity, rabbits typically have a relatively small migratory range; otherwise, there wouldn't be a saying like, "A rabbit doesn't eat the grass near its burrow; if there's grass near its burrow, why run all over the mountains?"

Hopefully, things haven't developed to the extent they envisioned.

Of course, there is also good news.

"I have completed the analysis of the curse and can completely purify it."

As she spoke, Frilian raised her chin with a hint of smugness.

Xia En quickly gave a thumbs up.

"As expected of a legendary mage, his efficiency is truly remarkable."

"Hmph."

Frillie happily raised her staff, aiming it at the [Enchanted Rabbit], ready to demonstrate its effects to Shane on the spot.

Hey!

Xia En immediately called a halt.

How could he not trust Frillie's abilities?

There's no need for fancy display effects; after all, [entries] are quite rare, and we can't waste them.

Entry stripping!

A gray dot of light flew out and landed on a bean that Shane casually pulled out.

The [Demonized Rabbit] sample on the ground disintegrated and disappeared.

"Make the most of everything."

"All right."

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Midday on the moon.

The two glanced at Philon, who was wrapped in a blanket and sleeping on the other side of the campfire, and then quietly slipped away in tacit agreement.

Before leaving, Shane thoughtfully placed a "Goddess's Barrier" over the camp to ensure Philon's safety.

At the same time, this barrier also reduces Philon's perception of external information, allowing her to sleep more soundly.

What they were about to do was probably too disgusting for Philon.

It's late at night, so we shouldn't upset the young girl.

"Rabbits are nocturnal animals, so let's clean up everything we can find around the village first."

"it is good."

Frilian activated [Flight Magic] and flew into the air. She gently shook her staff and began to use [Tracking Magic] to track the curse of the [Enchanted Rabbit] over a large area of ​​the entire forest.

Swah——

A pale blue dot of light appeared not far in front of Xia En.

Xia En activated [Swiftness] and quickly approached the point of light, which was a marked [Demonized Rabbit]!

Entry stripping!

A pale green dot of light flew into Shane's hand and landed steadily on a bean.

Meanwhile, to his right front, Frilian marked another [Demon Rabbit].

[Swift Movement] Continue.

He kept moving towards his next goal without stopping.

Entry stripping!

Entry stripping!

Entry stripping!

Countless [Enchanted Rabbits] were marked by magic, and Shane, like a "little man" in a parkour game, traversed through the mountains and forests, constantly picking up the [items] that had fallen to the ground.

+3

+3

Xia En was thrilled.

The beans were constantly being consumed, transferred from one bag to another.

Although they are all the lowest-level [gray entries], if there are enough of them, they are definitely "loose [golden legends]".

More than half an hour later.

Frillie fell from the sky.

Using [Flight Magic] for an extended period of time is extremely mana-intensive. Moreover, she also needs to use [Tracking Magic] while flying, which doubles the rate at which her mana is consumed.

At this point, you must stop and rest, otherwise it will harm your body.

Let's call it a day for tonight, and continue tomorrow.

"Alright."

Xia En rubbed the beans in his pocket with lingering satisfaction. Although he had only enjoyed himself for half an hour, it was already quite good.

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, a pale blue light appeared in front of the two of them.

A [Demonized Rabbit] has been marked by [Tracking Magic].

"??"

Xia En was puzzled.

Frilian looked up at the sky.

Philon was flying above the two of them, mimicking Frilian's actions to help Shane continue marking the location of the [Demon Rabbit].

Seeing that Shane and Frilian were both looking up at her, Philon blushed a little embarrassedly.

She was glad it was nighttime and she was in the air.

No one will see her blush.

She was sleeping soundly, but Ms. Frilian's [Tracking Magic] covered the entire mountain forest. How could she not sense such a strong magical fluctuation?

When she woke up and discovered what the two people were doing behind her back, she suddenly stopped finding the [Demonized Rabbit] disgusting.

Unlike Mr. Haita, who worried that he would not be able to live independently.

Mr. Shane and Ms. Frillian never asked her to live independently; in fact, they treated her somewhat like a child, carefully protecting her childlike nature.

At that moment, she felt a sense of fulfillment within herself.

With a flick of her staff, she took Frillie's place and soared into the air...

Xia En looked at the small figure in the air. The little bean sprout in her memory had grown into a brave and confident young woman in the blink of an eye. She was working hard to overcome her inner resistance and learn to be a true adventurer.

That being the case.

With [Swift Movement] activated, Shane charged straight toward the marked [Demonized Rabbit].

Entry, here I come!
