Chapter 13 The Allure of Numbers!!!
Chapter 13 The Allure of Numbers!!!
The fox nuzzled against Grace's black robe, and Grace gently stroked the fox's forehead: "Fox, go! Catch the scent of those guys' blood!"
The fox lowered its head and sniffed the green bloodstains on the ground. Its brows furrowed slightly as if it had smelled something disgusting, and it quickly leaped into the jungle.
The sound of bells rang out in waves through the jungle.
"Sniff..."
Bruce took a couple of breaths and couldn't help but remind him, "It's going to rain soon, won't the little fox be able to find its scent?"
Ok?
Grace glanced at the sky with some surprise, then looked at Bruce.
Although there are some clouds in the sky, there is absolutely no sign of rain.
"Hmm...it's my feeling. I've been helping my family bake bread since I was little, so I've always been very sensitive to temperature and humidity! My nose is very sensitive!" Bruce explained.
Grace narrowed her eyes slightly. No! It's not just his nose that's sensitive; this little chubby boy... he's sensing the resonance of natural elements. What an incredibly keen sense of perception!
Unexpected?
In a small town called Ox Horn, Fu Xiao's body magic malfunctions, and a chubby boy possesses an exceptionally high level of elemental perception.
"No, the spirit fox uses magic to fix the trajectory of its aura, and the trajectory won't be affected by rain, and besides..."
"If it rains, the goblins living in caves...wouldn't they prioritize reinforcing their nests?" Fu Xiao and Grace exchanged a glance.
The two shared the same idea: goblins, creatures that live in caves year-round, also have a certain premonition of the approaching rain.
This will provide more time for the rescue operation.
"Well then...we'd better keep up! Let's go!"
The four figures disappeared into the jungle following the fox's footsteps. Baron Andrew looked at Grace's retreating figure with some confusion.
She also possesses summoning magic and has her own contracted beast.
A mage of her caliber would be highly sought after by all the noble families in the capital.
Why are you content to be just a dispatch magician?
Four figures darted swiftly through the jungle, and the footprints left by the spirit fox appeared as blue magical traces in Grace's eyes.
"call!"
Grace stood by the tree, looked up at the darkening sky, and then looked back at the three little ones.
As they sped along, Fu Xiao's breathing may have become a little heavier, but he was hardly panting. This kid looked thin, but his stamina was beyond Grace's imagination.
Bruce, who was carrying his wand behind him, was already a little out of breath.
"What's wrong, Lady Grace?" Rias asked, somewhat puzzled.
"Hmm, I think it would be better to reach our destination before it rains! Also, I need you all to conserve your energy!"
As she spoke, Grace slightly raised her hand...
The three of them were instantly enveloped in a faint purple light.
"It's...lighter?"
Fu Xiao hopped a couple of steps on the spot... and almost bumped into a tree branch next to her.
"Magic can be divided into only two types: learned magic, which, as the name suggests, is magic that a mage learns and masters later in life; and... primal magic, an extremely high level that only about ten percent of mages can reach, and a special ability that they awaken!"
"My primal magic, Force Field Control, allows me to manipulate the mass of force."
Primal magic? This inevitably reminded Fu Xiao of his first card draw with the [Super Double] bonus, which also fell under the category of primal magic!
Ten percent? Grace... is she a mage of that level?
Fu Xiao stared wide-eyed at Grace, completely unable to reconcile the mage before him with the drunkard who had been hungover all day and the penniless man with only 10 copper coins on his person.
"I have a feeling you're thinking something inappropriate!" Grace said, a little annoyed by Fu Xiao's stare. "Time to speed things up, guys!"
With the weight reduced by "force field control", the four people's speed instantly increased by a level.
After venturing deep into the jungle, the four finally encountered the spirit fox that had stopped there.
"howl!"
A rustling sound came from the dense jungle ahead...
Two short, hunched-backed green-skinned monsters, twirling longswords and spears they had snatched from the soldiers of Bullhorn Town, stood guard before their hidden, dark lair.
Are there skinny-looking goblins carrying branches and dirt at the entrance of the nest?
"That is..."
Although he had prepared himself mentally, Bruce still felt a chill run down his spine when he actually saw the goblin, this deformed species.
"What should we do next? We don't know what's going on inside the nest, so we should be careful..." Fu Xiao subconsciously looked at Grace.
Grace smiled and said, "Next..."
The three of them nodded in agreement.
"From this moment forward, I am your queen! You are my servants!"
"Shove this deep into your brains, which don't have much capacity!"
......
Grace's words left the three of them somewhat bewildered. They exchanged glances and nodded in tacit agreement.
"Hmph! You must obey my orders absolutely!"
"I am your god!"
"I'll turn you into dogs, and you'll become dogs!"
"I'll turn you into monkeys, and you'll become monkeys!"
"Always remember to obey me, grovel before me, and flatter me with all your might! I am your queen, and you are my servants!!"
???
Doesn't this sound increasingly off?
Three question marks popped up on the foreheads of the three people.
Grace gently stroked her chin, her body rising slightly as she looked down at the three: "Even if I order you to die, you will die immediately! Understand?"
"What should we do?" Rias asked readily.
"Go and cause a ruckus! Attract the goblins, gather them together, and I'll cover for you from the shadows and take them all out in one fell swoop!" Grace looked up slightly at the dark clouds covering the sky.
It's going to rain!
Upon hearing this, Rias didn't hesitate: "I'll draw their attention from the front. Bruce, Fuxiao, you two..."
However... she didn't finish her sentence.
"Thump!"
Fu Xiao's figure had long since disappeared from the spot...
The two goblins guarding the entrance to the nest instantly flew out from both sides... Fu Xiao's figure stood in front of the nest.
"Ah...the feeling of power!"
A slight smile appeared on Fu Xiao's lips: "Indeed, this kind of visceral, bone-crunching combat suits me much better than being a mage!"
"My excitement level right now... is 100%!"
"Clatter..."
Just then, the goblin emerged from its lair, scattering the wood it was carrying across the ground...
It stared wide-eyed at the man who appeared before it... The man had a somewhat perverted smile on his face.
"boom!"
A thunderclap suddenly flashed across the sky!
Backlit, Fu Xiao's figure was accentuated by the lightning...
It looks even more ferocious and oppressive!
Just as the somewhat dazed goblin was about to pick up the horn at his waist, Fu Xiao, without any hesitation, smashed the horn made from animal horns and the goblin's skull together with a single punch.
The goblin flew heavily into the nest through the entrance.
Grace's eyes widened... she looked at Bruce and Rias in surprise...
"Has he...has he been like this since he was a child?"
Bruce rubbed his eyes... he could hardly believe what he was seeing.
Fu Xiao's figure felt unfamiliar to him!
This is... the magic of numbers!!!
