magician of beasts

"Master! It's really not safe here, you should go back with us!" An anxious voice sounded from the edge of the forest. The voice was a tall and strong soldier, but he didn't dare to reach out and grab the boy in front of him.

The boy ignored him at all, but turned his head to look at the other person beside him: "Asiya, is this what you said? If you find that kind of grass, will you be able to save your mother?"

"Yes, master." The person called "Asiya" replied quickly, with a soft and sharp voice, "I heard that, the doctor invited by the Earl explained it very clearly!"

"Listen to me, young master, Leman Forest is not a place for us to enter, please don't be impulsive." The tall and strong soldier first advised in this way, and then spoke to the other with anger Roaring, "Asiya! Your lord has decided to invite a famous mercenary group to do this job. Who are you taking advantage of by encouraging the young master like this?"

"Guru, don't slander me!" Asya yelled sharply, "The young master loves his wife and wants to do his best for her. Do you dare to say that this is wrong? Also, now that damned illegitimate child is about to climb onto the young master's head Come up, do you want the young master to lick that guy's shoe last? Or are you a traitor?!"

"You are the one who eats inside and out! The young master can't enter Leman at all with his current strength. You want to use this dangerous forest to kill the young master!" Gulu's voice was even louder, shaking people's brains.

Asiya seemed a little afraid of him, and his voice was a little softer: "Don't think I'm afraid of you, just wait and see! The young master will know which of us is the most loyal..."

"Okay!" At this time, the boy suddenly interrupted the conversation between the two, "Why are you arguing? I want to go in! My mother's illness can't wait, who knows when the bloody mercenary group will let people come over? You guys Two, follow me quietly!"

Asiya immediately became happy. He rolled his eyes at the tall and strong warrior, followed behind the young man triumphantly, and said loudly, "Of course, master! Asiya swears to follow you to the death!"

"...Yes, Guru understands." The tall and strong warrior had no choice but to agree reluctantly. He quickly walked a few steps to the front, observing whether there was any danger, and hoping to persuade him before the sun went down. The stubborn young master walked out of the forest safely.

It can't be blamed that Guru, who is already a fifth-level fighter, is so panic-stricken. Leman Forest is the largest forest on the mainland. It covers an extremely large area, and because of the better climate, it expands outward every year. There are countless poisonous insects and beasts, all kinds of ferocious and rare plants, as well as large swamps and naturally generated traps, all of which are daunting.

But also because of this, the resources in the forest are very rich, and there are often many mercenaries or adventurers who sneak into it to complete tasks such as hunting or picking herbs, and even find some fossils or rare ores extracted from plants. , is quite precious, and more people flock to it.

The forest during the day is relatively better. Although there are still many things that are eyeing, but at least the sight is clear, and certain evasive measures can be taken for the traps and swamps... However, it is different at night. Many ferocious creatures will take the opportunity to hunt. In the forest, almost It can be regarded as a huge slaughterhouse.The monsters don't like outsiders entering here. Compared with napping and turning a blind eye during the day, they will be more irritable and cruel at this time.Not to mention, those magical plants that look good but are actually carnivorous.

Gulu is only a fifth-level fighter, even if he reaches the seventh level-he is considered a strong man in the human world, but what can he do when he faces an eighth-level monster?As for the eighth-level monsters, there are far more than one in such a vast forest...or more than a group.What's more, as we all know, one of the only three remaining beast kings on the mainland lives in this Leman forest.

The smell in the forest is very strong. In addition to the fragrance of the trees, there are also those bloody and rancid smells that float in and out from time to time. The further you go in, the higher the temperature of the forest. It also gradually became damp, people stepped on the leaves and made a slight rustling sound, and accidentally stepped on one or two branches... But even so, people who are always tense will be suddenly frightened, Hastily looked around vigilantly.In this forest, it is far from being safe by being cautious.

Gulu looked at the young master who rushed to him again after a while, and he couldn't help showing a wry smile on his rough face. His responsibility is really too great... Thinking of this, he gave a sideways glance and fiercely followed him The second-level magician next to him, he really hated this flattering fool!

After viciously cutting off a stretching vampire vine hanging from his young master's head, Gulu took two quick steps and came to the young master's side again.

And this young master, he was squatting on the ground, studying a small plant growing under a giant tree.

"Asiya, do you think this is the case?" The young man seemed to be resentful, but he continued without waiting for his servant to speak, "No, no, this leaf is too short."

After he finished speaking, it was as if he hadn't looked at the thing carefully just now, and he walked forward without giving a single glance.

Guru knew that his young master always had his own ideas, so he had no choice but to follow closely. Instead, Asiya, who was behind, forgot to answer the boy's words because he was afraid of the weird environment in the forest, trotted forward with some regret.In any case, as a weak magician, it is always more at ease to be around a strong warrior.

From time to time there were small noises in the grass, but Guru ignored it. He knew that these were not very popular little beasts, and they would not dare to rush up. He only needed to pay attention to the young master's safety now.As for the person beside him... For him, he deserved death.

After walking for a long time, the young man in front of him seemed to be holding his breath and insisted on finding the herb. Guru persuaded him several times again—even Asiya did not oppose him because of the strange atmosphere in the forest, but the young man still rejected.

Guru, like Asiya, is the father of a teenager—the child of a servant in the Earl’s manor, who is also the Earl’s servant. They were allowed by the Earl to learn fighting spirit and magic because of their talents, and they were all allowed to do so Among the children who have achieved a few achievements, Guru is even more powerful. He seems to be a natural fighter, so he has reached the fifth level before the age of 30. This is quite rare among servants who have not received systematic education. Because of this, he was appreciated by the earl and became the personal guard of his wife's only son, while Asiya learned a little earth magic. Although his physique was not pure, he barely reached the second level. He should also be respected, but it is a pity that he has long been branded as a servant and can only be attached to the earl. Similarly, he was also given to his son by the earl.

This time, their young master came here looking for herbs for the countess who was dying of illness, because the highly skilled doctor invited by the count said that he had heard of a potion that could prolong the life of the countess' illness. Other medicines are easy to handle, only one kind of herbal medicine that grows in the depths of Leman Forest is missing. If he can get it within three days, he can ask someone to prepare it to treat the countess.Otherwise, the countess might die within six or seven days.

The countess' son, their young master certainly didn't want his mother to suffer like this, so even though the count had arranged for manpower to hire mercenaries to go deep into the forest to search, he still couldn't bear to wait in the manor. You know, even if the mercenaries rushed to the forest It also takes some time, what if one cannot make it in time?So despite the earl's permission, he secretly took two servants and set off by himself.

The sky finally began to turn yellow, and the surrounding scenery that could be seen clearly also became dim at this time, and the small things on the road gradually became unclear. The silence beyond the sound made people feel as if something was about to move, making people frightened.

A magic lamp was ignited from Asiya's hand. He held the lamp high and walked cautiously a little to the left of the young man, while Guru was guarding the other side of the young man. They all looked very nervous.

A trace of panic finally appeared on the young man's face... because he rushed too far before, and by the time they realized it, they couldn't find the way to go back, and once dusk fell in the forest, it would get dark very quickly. Not long after he left again, his vision was completely black.

It seems that there are countless pairs of eyes watching in the dark, and it seems that all this is just an illusion.The boy had never encountered such a situation before, he could only move closer to his only reliance—or the only reliance that could make him feel safer, the tall and strong warrior Guru, and Guru also dutifully reached out. He stretched out an arm and carefully guarded the young man's back, as if supporting him occasionally - you must know that although the young man ran around without feeling it during the day, at this time, guilt and fear mixed with exhaustion came to the fore.

Asiya regretted it very much. He just wanted to compete with Guru for favor in front of the young man, but he never thought that he would fall into this situation. If something happened to the young man, his few lives would not be enough to pay for it!

"Master! There's light there!" Suddenly he saw the light coming from the woods in front of him, and he recognized it, it was fire!There will always be mercenaries doing missions in this forest. If you really meet those people, as long as you have a better attitude and promise some benefits, you can always find help.

Guru obviously saw this too, and he quickly lowered his body to comfort the young man: "Asiya saw it right, there must be someone there, young master, shall we go there?"

The boy was afraid for a long time before he nodded his head hesitantly.

Guru was very happy when he got the permission, he hurriedly said: "Then let's go quickly, Asiya helps the young master, I'll ask!"

Asiya supported the boy, and the three immediately walked towards the bright place.

Pushing aside the bushes, they saw a bonfire that was burning vigorously. A thin figure was sitting beside the fire, facing them sideways, poking a branch out of the fire.
