Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 33 The Snake and Him

Luger's ears pricked up instantly, and the ear with a missing piece trembled under the hood.

Spell knowledge? Catching a giant snake?

He was interested in both of these things. On the one hand, he didn't want the big snake to go back and cause trouble in the dog-headed man's territory. On the other hand, he had longed to communicate with the wizard apprentices and acquire magical knowledge, provided there was no danger. Like in the current situation, if the other party were two first-level wizard apprentices, he would have walked over and sat down, calling them brothers in a few words, and maybe even made up a story about how he endured humiliation and was transformed from a handsome guy into a dog-headed man.

It's a pity that these two are level five wizard apprentices who appeared here with a clear purpose. However, if the other party is willing to communicate, then the imbalance in status will turn the communication into a consultation, which is also a good choice.

"A chance to ask a question, a zero-ring spell, but only if you act as bait and don't mess it up."

Baonte's voice echoed from behind.

After a moment's thought, Ruge realized that some of the Flame Man's words were actually directed at him. This man had anticipated this and given him some things he needed to know when making a decision. For example, Baont had chased the snake more than once. Baont was so powerful that he could kill a big snake. It seemed that it was because he didn't want to kill it that it managed to escape successfully several times. This clever snake obviously also saw this, and every time it escaped, it must have been fighting for its life.

At this time, a bait is needed.

Luger turned around and said, "It's my honor to help you two. Even if there's a little danger, it doesn't matter."

Since the big guy is so strong, he should be able to protect me, right? he thought.

A spell, an opportunity to ask questions. Naturally, he had a lot of questions he wanted to ask. After some hesitation, he decided to first deal with the pending companion magical familiar. If there were any corresponding spells that needed to be used, he could just solve them all and get the spell as well.

"It seems that you were an educated noble before you were sold to Heita." The flame man fiddled with the fire and said without raising his head.

Ruge really wanted to say that everyone in his hometown could receive an education, but after thinking about it, he didn't say it for fear of causing trouble. After all, if he was asked where he was from, he would definitely make a lot of mistakes and would not be able to answer at all.

He looked at the half roasted animal leg that was left after the three people finished their meal.

"Excuse me, sir, but may I take it with me?"

He suddenly thought of Aisijin. If his wish was to become a powerful wizard, or something more complex, Aisijin's was much simpler. Her greatest wish was to eat delicious food and have a full stomach at every meal. Some changes might be quietly occurring, but this wish definitely still held a high priority.

This kind of barbecued meat is cooked to perfection and is seasoned with all kinds of spices that have never been seen before. Given the ogre girl's love for new things and delicious food, she will definitely be very happy to eat it.

"Of course, it's a compliment to me."

The man waved his hand and the roasted animal leg flew over. Ruger took it with a smile and put it directly into the storage bag.

"Follow me."

Baonte put away the crystal-clear ball.

Ruger nodded, and just as he took a step, he heard a bang. Bayonte had already exerted force with his feet and flew out like a cannonball.

He looked at his short legs, gathered the strength of a wild bull, gritted his teeth and chased after it desperately.

Soon, the light of the campfire disappeared from behind him, and he could only barely see Baonte's back, but gradually, he could only hear the sound of the monster stepping on the ground. Finally, he found that he could hardly hear even that sound.

For a moment, he felt that his new spells and familiar were waving goodbye to him.

Although Baonte's method was not the cool way of traveling that he wanted, he had to admit that this astonishingly simple and unpretentious move was indeed beyond the reach of others, and even the dust could hardly be seen. It was definitely simpler and more reliable than those cool methods.

Boom!

"you are too slow."

Baonte didn't stop when he turned in the air and landed beside him, grabbed his shoulder and walked away.

Naturally, his weight had no effect on Baonte. He experienced the feeling of speed, which further strengthened his determination to find a powerful spell or method to accelerate his journey. However, his experience soon plummeted. He found that Baonte's leaping and running style was extremely unfriendly to his stomach, which was full of barbecue.

The two jumped out from an inconspicuous exit in the small cave area.

Continuing to run wildly, we came to a place with strange terrain and full of holes. As far as the eye could see, there were at least twenty holes on the ground, as if huge rats had made a collective nest here. This was still due to the limited vision. Judging from the momentum, there were definitely many more holes outside the field of vision.

Baonte finally put him down and took out the ball to examine it again and again.

"It actually found a way to deal with tracking."

Baonte suddenly put away the ball and looked at him with burning eyes.

"Take this and remember what I say now," Baonte stuffed something into Luger's hand. "Take it in your hand and don't worry about anything else. These holes should be connected. Just go into any hole and wander around. I'll give you one day, and I will-"

A loud bang interrupted Baonte's words.

A huge snake body emerged from a cave entrance, causing a section of the cave entrance to collapse. Dust flew everywhere and gravel splashed everywhere.

Baonte no longer cared about him and rushed forward with his fists waving, chasing the big snake as it fled into the distance.

Luger looked at the thing in his hand, then looked at the figure that was gradually running away.

How to do?
Also, what is this?
In his hand was something wrapped in a piece of cloth that had obviously been torn off casually. It was twisted into a small ball. He suspected that the cloth might have been the sleeve of a piece of clothing.

He recalled Baonte's words and turned to walk into the nearest cave.

I won’t take part in such a fierce battle. My short legs can’t catch up anyway, he thought.

I am also completing the task you assigned me, he thought, and his steps became more determined.

This was the only thing he could do now. Apart from this, he could only return to the original route according to his memory and then run back home quietly.

He clutched the object in his left hand, speculating on its purpose and feeling a bit worried, fearing it might be some strange bait to lure underground beasts. Of course, he had no intention of opening it to take a closer look. Asking less and observing less was his consistent principle when facing powerful individuals.

He took out the crystal lamp and took a look at it. He had already decided that if Baonte didn't come back after a day, he would have done what he should do and leave here, returning along the route he remembered.

A pair of snake eyes quietly emerged in the darkness.

"You'd better put it away."

The big snake's voice twisted into a thread as thin as a mosquito's whisper and penetrated into his ears.

He suddenly turned around and looked around. What flashed by in the darkness was a gray-white snake that had shrunk at least ten times.

"Stay away from him--" The gray long-necked Saint Lord with the trumpet suddenly stopped speaking in a mosquito-like voice just as it entered his ears again.

"Hahaha! See where you're going!"

Baonte suddenly jumped out and rushed into a shadow in the distance like a cannonball.

Ruger put the crystal lamp and the things in his hand into the storage bag, and hurriedly followed.

His reward hasn't been paid yet!
