Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 23 Dog and Dog

A large bedroom with three-sided open space.

Ruger was eating insect juice shaved ice while reading the last part of the magic skin technique. The bottle he used to drink the potion was just right for holding shaved ice. The only drawback was that the bottle mouth was not wide enough.

As he slurped the ice in his mouth, he sighed again, "Magic Skin is so much easier to learn than Freeze Ray." This suggests that compatibility isn't just a positive evaluation factor; it should also be negative. In other words, among incompatible spells, there can be situations where they're not sufficiently compatible, very incompatible, or even extremely incompatible. He should have anticipated this long ago; these are inevitable situations.

"Maybe we should try to find some sour fruit..."

He looked up at the crystal lamp which was at the moment of switching between the upper and lower ends.

"One more day and it will be almost done."

He thought that the last bottle of Spiritual Heart Potion could be saved for a tough opponent in the future. He also felt that this potion could be used to practice meditation. However, it was a bit of a luxury to use Spiritual Heart Potion to practice meditation, which was a long and arduous process.

It is not good to drink too much of any medicine, even if there are no obvious side effects listed.

Eating shaved ice reminds me of hot springs.

The hot springs there are too hot. If I can find a place with a suitable temperature, it would be a pleasure to soak in it and eat shaved ice, he thought.

That female elf was incredibly thick-skinned. Perhaps after learning the magic skin technique, he could give it a try. Magic skin combined with the freeze ray was like a bath and shaved ice. These days, even a kobold needed immense strength to take a bath; those with less skill could easily lose their lives.

He is not seeking pleasure.

This is the practice of magic, and it is an essential training on the road to pursuing the mysteries of magic.

After mastering the freezing ray, the first thing he did after recovering was to test the number of times he could cast the spell.

When he regained full strength through meditation, he could cast spells one after another without resting, and could cast seven freeze rays before he could no longer continue.

If you want to increase the number of spells you cast and the speed of casting, frequent use is a good choice. Another excellent choice is naturally to improve your own mental strength and become a second-level wizard apprentice.

At present, apart from the solidified spells, the spell he can use the most times in a short period of time is the zero-ring spell, Hair Removal. With his current mental strength, he can use it fifteen times. The consumption of this spell itself is slightly low, and he has a higher degree of compatibility, and this is the case without regular practice.

The hair removal technique is really too strenuous for the tribesmen to practice. After all, they are just a pitiful small tribe. In the past, the tribe’s food supply was not enough, and there is not much hair left on their bodies.

He couldn't bear to do it.

Occasionally, I would practice this a couple of times when I encountered someone I didn't like on the road, and I would get two short, unpleasant screams in return.

He stood up unsteadily.

Combining work and rest is the way to learn.

As he walked, he recalled the details of the magic skin technique he had just sorted out.

Turn around and around.

The purpose of this trip was to treat Ai Sijin to shaved ice! The kobold girl had definitely never had it! And by the way, he wanted to ask Old Gold Tooth something.

Rumble!
A huge noise came from the direction of the big cave of the Gray Long-Neck Saint, as if the ground beneath his feet was shaking.

Luger paused, he was now very close.

Rumble!
He bravely took a step forward, hesitated for a moment, turned an intersection, and decided to see what was going on.

In this place, he thought he was qualified to watch the fun.

Ever since he learned that the dark gray-skinned female elf and her companions were all at the wizard apprentice level, his little dog-headed man's back suddenly straightened up.

It's not that he had the confidence to defeat any of them, but that he broke through the most terrifying layer of the unknown in an instant. The imaginary self scared himself, just like Dashaheng's fear of him. The deep-rooted fear that could not be broken came from the unknown. And because of his little understanding of spells and wizard apprentices, although he was afraid, it was not the kind of incomprehensible fear before, but a rational fear out of awe of spells and the power of knowledge.

Sometimes, even when facing death, at least we know how we will die, which is much better than the fear of the unknown.

He pressed himself against the cave wall, revealing half of his dog's head.

An exaggeratedly large gray-white snake came into view.

Is this the Lord of the Gray Long Neck? If that's the case, his neck is indeed very long, he thought.

Opposite the giant snake stood a small humanoid figure. It was too far away to tell if it was a human or some other humanoid creature.

The big snake slowly raised its proud head and reached the top of the cave of the Gnoll Holy Land. Its demeanor and momentum made people inexplicably feel that it possessed extraordinary wisdom.

Ruger was even looking forward to it speaking, just to see what tone it would speak.

Just as he was thinking about it, a mental wave appeared and echoed throughout the entire cave.

The affected area naturally also included him, the little dog-headed man who was peeking around in the corner.

"Strange dog-headed man, get out of my territory! The price of angering me is unbearable for you."

The giant snake's words startled the little dog-headed man who was watching the fun.

But when he thought about it carefully, it seemed wrong. He squinted his eyes and leaned out a little more, looking over there. The one confronting the giant snake was actually a tall dog-headed man.

"The Red Horn Tribe wants to conquer all the kobolds. The kobold king already has his own king. The king said that he would break the wizard's curse. The kobolds will no longer need masters. In the Kobold Kingdom, all kobolds have no masters, only one king! The kobold king! King!"

The tall but not bloated dog-headed man spoke a little incoherently and incoherently, but his ability to speak long sentences and the content of his words were enough to frighten Ruger.

Before Luger could recover from the shock.

The giant snake actually began to laugh, and waves of mental power surged out like a tide, and every ripple was an expression of the giant snake's uncontrollable laughter.

"Wizard? You ignorant dog-headed man actually dares to fight against a wizard!" The giant snake raised its head and swayed back and forth because of its laughter, and dust and large and small stones fell down when it touched the ceiling of the cave.

This giant snake has the skills to use mental power and seems to have some understanding of wizards.

And there are the kobolds with great ambitions.

Ruger was completely interested.

Rumble!
The tall dog-headed man and the big snake fought each other.

For a moment, the big snake was at a disadvantage.

As the snake writhed, Ruger noticed that it had numerous scars, and the missing section of its tail was clearly an old injury. It was these injuries that had caused the snake to be suppressed by the strange dog-headed man.

The muscles on the dog-headed man's arms bulged and twitched as he smashed the metal knife in his hand with all his might.

Bang! A slightly muffled sound!

The crudely made broadsword, as broad as a hammer, hit the snake's head and broke in half.

The big snake suddenly leaped up like an arrow running close to the ground, and clamped the retreating dog-headed man in its mouth. In desperation, the dog-headed man used both hands to support the snake's mouth that was biting him, and grabbed the snake's fangs on both sides and was frozen there for a while.

Smoke and dust rose up, and there was a loud roar.

The big snake began to roll and crash wildly in the big hole.

"Kobolds, no master needed!"

The dog-headed man shouted and broke off a snake's fang.

The snake felt a moment of pain, allowing the dog-headed man to escape successfully.

"Don't run towards me!"

Seeing that the situation was not right, Ruger turned and left, but the footsteps behind him were telling him what might happen next.

A thought flashed through his mind, and with the strength of the wild bull, he turned around and rushed backwards.

The gray-white snake's body turned blood red, and several short legs stretched out from both sides of the snake, rushing towards the tall dog-headed man with violent momentum.

Ruger was closer and more agile. The two of them met each other quickly. The dog-headed man's eyes were shocked, and then his eyes rolled back. After falling down, his body continued to slide forward. Ruger, who was blessed with the power of a wild bull, simply reached out and picked him up and ran away.

When the big snake saw this scene, it hesitated and did not catch up.
