Chapter 1776 The Mystery of the Collar

Hearing Gu Shu's father's evaluation of himself, whether it was a compliment or a curse, Qiao An scratched his head embarrassingly, not knowing how to answer.

Now that the duel was over, and he had successfully passed the test, was recognized by Papa Gushu, and became a new resident of Cloudsdale, Joan felt that he should also behave kindly and build a good relationship with his future neighbors.

Thinking of this, he took out the "demon collection bottle", released the poor "Gravity Sister", and asked her to return to her elder brother and sisters, so as to show kindness to the five "activation spell" siblings and prevent them from holding grudges.

Qiao An actually has nothing to lose by letting "Gravity Sister" go. The liquid from the wound of "Gravity Girl" has accumulated a lot in the demon collection bottle, which is enough material to analyze the fifth-level spell "Gravity Well".

The four slimes greeted the cute little girl back, stretched out their pseudo-legs in turn to touch her head to comfort her, and looked at Joan with no hostility as before, adding a bit of kindness. mean.

Seeing this scene, Joan was very relieved, her kindness was finally not in vain.

"Little guy, your name is Qiao An, right?" Gu Shu waved at him, "Come here, take off that silver collar around your neck, and let me have a look."

Without the slightest hesitation, Joan took off the "spirit collar" and handed it over.

The old man of the ancient book took the collar with the palm transformed by remote control magic power, and leaned in front of him to observe carefully, his brows could not help but frown, he looked at Qiao An, hesitating to speak.

"Father, I got this collar two years ago on the seventh floor of the castle outside." Joan said softly.

"I know this. In fact, my old man put this collar on the seventh floor with his own hands. It wasn't like this at the time... I underestimated the danger of this thing, so I just put it there. Now I realize that it was handled at that time. It’s too sloppy, and it’s burying a lot of hidden dangers.” Gu Shu’s father took a look at Qiao An, shook his head and smiled bitterly: “If I had known that this thing was closely related to a certain demon lord, I would have kept it in a place where no one would let anyone know about it. The place where I found it, but having said that, how dare you wear such a dangerous thing next to your body, young people are really fearless!"

Of course, Joan understood the warning in the old man's words in the ancient book. In fact, he didn't need to be reminded by the other party. From the day he accepted Clark's entrustment, he had already deeply understood how dangerous the "spirit collar" was. This powerful artifact also It is also a time bomb, and it will bring disaster to him at some point.

"Actually, I also know that the spirit collar will summon the Snow Demon Wendigo sooner or later, but I have already promised a friend that I will send this collar to the Temple of the River Styx in Niflheim in the 'Land of Mist', so I know You can only bring it with you if you have risks.”

Joan explained to Papa Gushu.

Papa Gushu nodded thoughtfully, remote controlled the "Mage's Hand", and returned the spirit collar to Joan.

"Since you have taken this thing away, I don't have to worry about it anymore. Whether it's a blessing or a curse depends on your own luck, but I still want to give you a few words of advice."

"Please speak."

"With your current strength, as long as you are careful not to be attacked by the Snow Demon in your dreams, you will not suffer from confronting that monster head-on. The problem is that the Snow Demon is transformed by a trace of the soul of 'Prince of Wrath' Kostchurch, unless you yourself have half God-level power, otherwise it would be impossible to really kill it."

"Being entangled by a monster that always comes back from the dead is troublesome enough, but I worry that this collar hides a bigger secret, and it may summon monsters more terrifying than the Snow Demon in the future."

In the end, Papa Gushu solemnly warned Joan.

"My child, these premonitions of mine are not based on any real evidence. You don't need to panic, but you must have this string in your heart - if you find something is going wrong, send it back immediately. If you cause any serious trouble, Dad, I will help you." Carry it together!"

Joan nodded gratefully, and really felt that the old man really regarded himself as a "family member".

Even the five "activating mantras" jumped around, expressing that the family is in trouble together, and if Joan is in trouble, they will do their best to help.

Feeling moved, Joan touched all the slimes to thank them for their enthusiasm.

About the Snow Demon Wendigo and the spirit collar, Joan still had one last question, so he asked Papa Gushu in person.

"Father, you just said that you put this collar on the seventh floor with your own hands. I'm curious, how did the spirit collar fall into your hands in the first place?"

"This is the trophy I got from killing a frost giant many years ago." Father Gushu further explained to Joan, "As I said just now, there were two groups of people who broke into the construction factory before you, but they failed to pass. My test, the leader of one of the gang is the frost giant."

"It's been a long time, and I have forgotten the guy's name. I only remember that he is a follower of the demon lord Kostchurch, a high-level dark guard."

"This silver collar was worn around the neck of the frost giant Black Guard at that time. He also called out the snow demon sleeping in the collar during the battle."

"I have to say that that guy is indeed very strong, but unfortunately he is arrogant and overbearing. He refused to accept the test in the way I proposed. Relying on the large number of people he brought, he wanted to take the entire Cloud City as his own."

"The two sides clashed at the slightest disagreement. With the assistance of the fifth sister and brother of the activation mantra, I killed the arrogant and arrogant frost giant black guard and his servants. As for the snow demon he summoned, I cast a spell and sealed it in the collar. Among them, I later kept the collar on the seventh floor of the castle until it was taken away by you."

After listening to the narration of the old man of the ancient book, Qiao An finally fully understood the ins and outs of the "spirit collar", and it was a matter of peace.

The old man of the ancient book pushed his pince-nez, smiled and asked the young mage: "Joan, I also have a question, have you ever thought about why I sent the magic beans to the world of Vales, and deliberately made people follow the magic bean vines?" Climb to Cloudsdale, what good will it do me?"

Qiao An did have such doubts. Since Papa Gushu raised it on his own initiative, he nodded in agreement, expecting his answer.

The ancient book daddy didn't reveal the answer right away, he turned around and pointed to the three-story castle behind him, and asked Joan, "What do you think of this building?"

"A classical style castle." Joan said thoughtfully, "Although it is not as magnificent as the Cloud City outside, it is stronger, and it seems to be completely cast from fine gold."

"That's right, this is a rare gold castle. Not only that, but the castle you see right now is only a half-finished product. If this great work can be completed..." The ancient book daddy smiled mysteriously, "You will see it with your own eyes." witness the miracle!"
