Chapter 1341 Sea Wolf

"Joan, I understand after hearing you say that!" Medea guessed excitedly, "If we find the pirate's lair and report to Sir Edric to receive the reward, we will have a chance to meet Kista wrong?"

Hanks nodded lightly: "Master Kista is an old friend of our lord, if you want to get the assistance of lord Kista, you'd better try to persuade Lord Edric to support your research project first."

"Thank you for your advice, Mr. Hanks."

Medea took out three gold coins and put them on the bar, got up and said goodbye. Joan and Ruby followed her out of the tavern.

"Sister Medea, are we going to hunt down pirates next?" Ruby asked excitedly.

The Gorgon pointed to the flock of eagles circling above his head, and said with a wry smile, "If the pirates were caught so easily, it would be our turn to make a move. We would have been spotted by the giant eagles in the sky long ago."

Joan nodded in agreement, and thought about it, "Mr. Hanks mentioned just now that the pirates are mainly sea wolves and flying sharks. These two monsters are recorded in the literature."

"Flying sharks are similar in size to ordinary sharks. The fins on the left and right sides are specially transformed into wings, which can fly short distances above the sea. However, in most cases, flying sharks prefer to lurk in the water, fold their wings, and look like ordinary sharks. shark."

"As for the sea wolf, it is actually an aquatic subspecies of werewolves infected with 'lycanthropy'. It has the supernatural ability to change its shape. It can become a beast form similar to a seal, a hybrid form with a werewolf head and a human body, and it has nothing to do with normal people. Distinguished humanoid form."

"If sea wolves in humanoid form mix among the crowd, even the sharp-eyed giant eagle will have difficulty seeing their true colors."

Medea smiled bitterly, and said to Joan and Ruby: "Since we are taking over this troublesome job, don't expect to get it done as soon as possible. Anyway, we are not in a hurry. Why don't we go shopping on the island first?" , Maybe I can find some new clues by chance, and when I am tired from shopping, I will go back to the pier for dinner and find a hotel to stay in.”

Joan has no interest in shopping, and would rather find a hotel to stay in now and use his spare time to study spells.

However, he didn't want to spoil the interest of the two female companions, so he silently followed Medea and Ruby along the plank road at the pier and walked towards the "Eagle Tower".

Walking on the road, Joan was still thinking about the reward notice he saw in the tavern just now.

It is a feasible idea to seek opportunities to contact Kista by completing the bounty mission. The problem now is that this bounty mission is a bit troublesome.

The North Bay is so vast, there are tens of thousands of large and small islands in the bay where a group of rogues can hide, and Joan and the others are not familiar with the place, so how do they start tracking down the whereabouts of the Seawolf Gang?

Suddenly, Joan remembered the experience of searching for unicorn rabbits in the Baden wetlands, and he had an idea in his heart.

He quickly caught up with Medea and Ruby, whispered his plan in their ears, and then turned and walked into a dense bush.

Medea and Ruby stood by the bushes, pretending to be chatting in the shade, but they were actually helping Joan to keep an eye out, secretly paying close attention to the movement around them, and strictly preventing suspicious people from approaching.

Joan hid in a secluded area deep in the bushes, and quickly aroused a "power of myth", intending to bless himself with "secondary true seeing".

At this time, he suddenly thought that he had been promoted to a level 7 mage, and the power of "mythic power" would also evolve simultaneously with the increase in mana, which could be transformed into a level 4 spell slot.

"Less True Sighting" is just a third-level spell, and it would be too wasteful to use the "power of myth" to cast it directly.

After a short thought, Joan added the super magic skill "Advanced Spell Delay" to the "Secondary True Sighting", which increased the duration of this spell from 10 minutes to 100 minutes, which happened to occupy a 4th-level spell slot. Nothing is wasted.

The low cooing sound from above caught Joan's attention.

Looking up, there was a white-bellied and gray-backed seagull standing on the top of the branch, tilting its head, looking curiously at the young mage hiding in the bushes.

"Good afternoon, Miss Seagull, did you come here specially to be a volunteer for me? Then thank you."

Joan swung the "Mage's Hand" and grabbed the seagull from the air.

The seagull was strangled by the invisible palm, struggling in fright, cooing and screaming.

After all, the "Hand of the Mage" is just a 0-ring trick with limited strength. In the end, the seagull broke free and only got two feathers.

But it doesn't matter, Joan didn't want to kill the seagull at first, but just wanted to pluck a hair from her body.

The seagull flapped its wings and flew away, cursing and cooing.

Joan waved goodbye to this kind-hearted "volunteer". Using a seagull feather as a spell-casting material, he drew two "Sid Mana", and cast the 2nd-level spell "Flying Insects and Beasts", attracting a large group of seagulls with his hand. The total number is as many as a thousand!

Joan first established a "mythical link" with the "brood will" of the flock of birds, and then divided the flock of birds into groups of 50 seagulls, maintaining a minimum common will, ordering them to split up and spread the carpet on the "Eagle Island" type search.

Since the "Mythical Link" can load all the magic effects that enhance the senses, these 20 groups of birds also receive the blessing of "Secondary True Sight".

The eyesight of seagulls is already well developed, and they can clearly see fish swimming in the waves from a high altitude. The "lesser true seeing" further strengthens their eyesight, and they can see through invisibility, camouflage, low-level illusions, and transformation abilities—including animal transformation Human transformation ability is most suitable for searching for suspicious persons in a relatively closed space like an island.

Joan sent a flock of birds to patrol and monitor the island, then walked out of the bushes and returned to the two female companions as if nothing had happened.

In the following time, Qiao installed the appearance of walking with Medea and Ruby. In fact, he secretly kept focusing on casting spells, remotely controlling the flock of birds, and paying close attention to all suspicious characters on the island through the eyes of thousands of seagulls.

What are the dubious standards?

Being sneaky is one aspect, but what Qiao An values ​​more is whether the target intends to change his original shape and appearance.

For a "lycanthropy" like "Sea Wolf", beast form, hybrid form, and humanoid form, which one is their true face?

Frankly speaking, Joan couldn't give a simple and clear answer to this question.

For example, an ordinary person was accidentally attacked by a "lycanthropy" one day, was bitten, and luckily—or unfortunately—resisted the deadly threat of the lycanthropy virus invading the human body in the initial stage, and the body cells fused with the virus , himself transformed into a "beastman".

So in this case, his original human image is the basic form. If he is killed in animal form, the body will also change back to human form.
