Artificer Adventure Guide

"You can't hunt here anymore!"

In an outlying jungle near the coast, a group of adventurers were trying to hunt animals in the forest, when a roar suddenly came from behind them.

Everyone looked back and found that the person making the noise was a werewolf covered in black fur.

"Beast transformer?"

Looking at the other party with doubtful eyes, the captain of the adventure team felt the heavy aura of the werewolf and realized that the other party was not easy to provoke.

"Hey! Brother, we just want to hunt a black bear. It's convenient for you. Here..."

Before he finished speaking, the werewolf suddenly raised the bow and arrow in his hand and fired an arrow in this direction.

With a "click" sound, the arrow pierced directly into a boulder next to it, leaving only a tail feather still trembling.

This hand is so beautiful. Even in this world of swords and magic, it is not easy to do this kind of thing with just an ordinary bow and arrow.

The adventure team immediately knew that they could not defeat the werewolf in front of them, and the captain who had just spoken also immediately changed his tone.

"Let's go! We'll leave immediately!"

He didn't even ask why he and others couldn't continue hunting here, and then ran out of the forest in great embarrassment and returned to Storm Bay.

Seeing them go away, the werewolf put away his bow and arrows, crawled to the ground, and turned into a black wolf.

After looking around for a moment, he took skillful steps and left towards the depths of the forest.

The area of ​​​​the forest is not small. After running for more than ten minutes, the black wolf transformed from the werewolf finally stopped.

At this time, what appeared in front of him was a village of beast shifters that maintained tribal civilization. Various beast shifters similar to werewolves were going back and forth among the thatched houses, cooking meals for later.

Most of them have bulging muscles and tall and well-proportioned figures. Some of them are silent in their movements. They are born assassins at first glance.

Restored to his werewolf appearance, Black Wolf walked into the village, greeted his companions one by one, and finally walked into a super large wooden house in the middle of the village.

"Village Chief, I'm back. I've driven away those outsiders who entered the forest."

Kneeling on one knee, Hei Lang respectfully reported the situation to the old man deep in the cabin.

The old man had a gray beard and hair, and wore a robe made of animal skins and linen.

If Karl is here, he must be familiar with this person.

He was the Druid of the Son of Winter who single-handedly directed the tragedy of Storm Bay.

Raising his hand to stir up a gust of breeze, the Druid motioned to the black wolf to stand up, and then said to him:

"Those adventurers have been hunting very frequently in recent days. I will go to Storm Bay to see what happened there recently. Black Wolf, you have done a good job, please step back."

"Yes! Lord Rayleigh!"

After bowing and saluting, Black Wolf left the room.

The Druid whom he called Rayleigh stood up from his seat and placed his palm on a large branch growing in the wooden house.

The emerald green fluorescence gradually brightened as he continued to recite incantations. When the light stabilized, he walked directly into the tree trunk.

At the same time, in a suburb only a few miles away from Storm Bay, a big tree also lit up with emerald green fluorescence.

Rayleigh, who had gray hair and beard, walked out and turned off the effect of the Wood Escape Technique.

There was no movement on his part, and his body transformed into a falcon in just a few seconds.

Vibrating his wings, he took off into the air and flew quickly towards the urban area of ​​Storm Bay.

The dense jungle could not stop his progress. His transformed falcon nimbly shuttled between the trees, even flying better than those real falcons.

In a moment, he had arrived in the urban area of ​​Storm Bay.

Finding the location of the city hall with ease, he swooped down and transformed into a human form again just before hitting the ground.

The guard guarding the door had never seen such a cool entrance before. After reacting for two seconds, he stepped forward and asked:

"Hello, what business are you here to handle?"

Lei Li, who was already prepared to establish his power, was restrained by this high-quality inquiry for a moment, and then nodded with satisfaction.

"I am the Druid of the Children of Winter. I came here to ask the manager of Storm Bay who signed an alliance with me, why are those adventurers wantonly destroying Xen'drik's ecology?"

The two guards did not expect that the old man in front of them would handle such a big matter, and they were a little at a loss for a while.

But fortunately, the training formulated by Carl allowed them to report directly if they knew they couldn't handle it, so one of the guards took Reilly into the city hall, and the remaining one continued to guard the door.

After entering the city hall, Reilly was even more satisfied with the place.

The person who came to do the work went through relevant procedures in various departments in an orderly manner. The orderly scene made him feel comfortable from the bottom of his heart.

Although he is a Druid of the Children of Winter.

The adventurers in the hall were a little curious about the white-bearded old man who was personally brought in by the guards, and they all looked over here.

Some adventurers who had seen Rayleigh quickly lowered their heads after recalling his previous performance. They did not dare to raise their heads again until Rayleigh and the guards disappeared deep into the city hall.

"Why did this lunatic come to Storm Bay again? Damn it, is there going to be any trouble in Storm Bay again? No! The Spirit King Competition is about to be held!"

The adventurer who knew Rayleigh was praying in secret, while Rayleigh and the guard came to Joanna's office.

The guard knocked on the door respectfully, and after Joanna replied "Come in", he opened the door and led Rayleigh in.

Joanna, who was handling official business at her seat, raised her head and met Rayleigh's gaze.

For a moment, Joanna's expression became a little complicated.

It was Rayleigh who led Joanna to fight against the Storm Council, but the other party's subsequent actions had undoubtedly touched Joanna's bottom line and eventually led Joanna to part ways with him.

Now that they meet again, Joanna actually feels as if she were in another world.

But it has been less than half a year since the rebellion and the plague.

"What's the matter with you?"

Unconsciously, Joanna's voice became calmer.

This is one of her biggest gains in the past six months. No matter who she faces, she can adjust her mentality as soon as possible.

After repeating the situation of adventurers' excessive hunting, Rayleigh looked at Joanna, who had gradually grown up in front of him, and his tone softened a little.

"I want to know what happened in Storm Bay recently. Do you need help?"

However, the "help" in his words made Joanna think of some not-so-good memories, so she quickly refused:

"No! No, the reason why those adventurers did that was probably to collect materials to condense spirit cards. Don't worry, I will tell Senior Carl and the Dragon Mark Family about this and ask them to help restrain them."

"Spirit card?"

Hearing this special word, Rayleigh's face showed a confused expression.

He remembered that it had only been two months since he last came to Storm Bay. How could there be a new thing?

Before Rayleigh asked, Joanna had taken out a deck from the drawer of her desk.

"This is a game invented by Senior Carl. It is the most popular thing in Storm Bay now. To condense the spirit, you need materials from beasts and monsters, so those adventurers probably hunt so frequently for this."

Although Xen'drik is very large, there are only a few places suitable for most adventurers to hunt.

After all, picking on the weak is a common trait of many people.

Looking at the spirit card with some surprise, Rayleigh felt the breath of the spirit from it, and also felt that he could make the spirit appear through the spell of finding a familiar.
