"I'm sorry, Mr. Ragdoll Bear, the magic device didn't respond." Hilmanya rushed back in a hurry and gave me a drink right on the spot.

Ah, as expected, not everyone can survive the death struggle. Do you think it’s the fifth child?

It's so strong to take this kind of thing for granted.

Of course, I would rather attribute the failure to this skull biscuit. Not only does it look like a copycat, but its performance is also extremely copycat.

no solution anymore.

[Hilmanya, you stay and leave the rest to me]

I nodded towards Hilmanya, put down Lena in my arms, and gently rubbed her head.

[Mr. Ragdoll Bear, please be careful.] Lena grabbed my bear paw with worried eyes.

Nod, nod.

"I think things are not that simple. There is always an element of uneasiness lingering around. Please be careful."

Lena was still worried, so she put her arm in her arms and warned me solemnly again.

ah!

You idiot, you used prophecy, right?

I stared at Lena closely, and if Somak hadn't been there, I would have given her a good lesson.

Although Lena's prophecy skills have made great progress, at least in the eyes of Akara and Yalandlan, her current level is not enough to stand alone. She still needs more teaching and experience, and the energy consumed by prophecy skills will also intensify.

Lena's physical burden has become the biggest obstacle to her learning.

These are all minor problems. The biggest problem is that the object of her prophecy is me. Even Akala cannot accurately predict me, but she foolishly tries to do it. If it is just a simple divination, such as the recent luck divination, it will not work.

Okay, but listening to what Lena said just now, she is definitely not just making prophecies. This will inevitably consume an unknown amount of mental energy, and even cause huge backlash to her.

I stared at Lena for a long time, until she admitted her mistake and lowered her head.

【Are you feeling well?】

"fine."

Seeing that my expression softened, Lena nodded happily and held on to my hand. Really, when did she and Willas secretly learn the trick of puppy withdrawal?

【Nothing will happen next!】

"Yes, I understand." Lena responded softly as she sipped her cherry blossoms and lowered her head.

He clearly looked like he didn't want to know.

Hey, Lena is soft on the outside and strong on the inside. Even if she is stubborn, she is not someone who will give in easily. Now is not the time. When I find the right time, I will definitely show my [brother’s majesty] and make her nod her head and agree.

.

It's okay to simply divine with myself, but to go further and use prophecy on me, I will never let Lena do this kind of thing. Besides, although she doesn't have the aura of domination that dictates my fate, I can't help it.

But I don’t want to know in advance something that will happen in the future before I do something. Knowing some things in advance is not necessarily a good thing, but will restrict myself.

[Then, I’ll leave first, Lena will leave it to you, Hilmanya.]

Nodding towards the two girls, I took quick steps and left the Madea settlement before those elf children discovered [a lonely stuffed bear] and happily ran over and threw the Master Ball at me.

"Eh?" Staring blankly at the disappearing figure in the distance, Hilmanya came back to her senses and suddenly screamed.

"What's wrong, Sister Hilmanya?"

"Lady Lena, we seem to have forgotten something." Hilmanya said hesitantly.

"one thing?"

Lena was stunned for a moment, and then she remembered it without waiting for Hilmanya's explanation. She couldn't help but show a troubled expression. Because she knew that someone was very forgetful, she kept this matter in mind and prepared to remind him, but just now

After being gently scolded by the other party, and leaving immediately, no one could react at all, so Lena also neglected it.

It seems that my brother (owner) didn’t mark his location. If he ran out like this and had such a poor sense of direction, could he really come back?

The two of them thought the same thing in their hearts.

"Yawn!!" I had canceled the Hell Fighting Bear transformation and changed into the form of the Demon Moon Wolf Witch. I was riding a ghost wolf in the forest when I suddenly sneezed inexplicably.

What's going on? Who is talking about me behind my back?

By the way, I have been having this vague feeling just now, as if I have forgotten something that must be done, but since it is something that can be forgotten, it means it is not very important, forget it, there is no point in thinking about it.

After spending a whole morning, I re-observed the dwarf tribe last time and found what Somak said was the largest dwarf tribe around, with five or six thousand dwarfs.

Unfortunately, other than that, there is no other gain yet.

You guys are going to mutate, you bastards.

Hidden in a dense forest ten miles away from the largest dwarf tribe, looking at the busy figures of thousands of dwarfs not far away, I murmured and urged, wishing to rush forward and threaten these dwarfs.

Little mouse, let me find the place of mutation.

After waiting for another half an hour, I didn't find the same opportunity as yesterday, so I gave up observing.

Implementing plan B, a blind cat bumps into a dead mouse.

Using all the mental power of the Demon Moon Wolf Witch, I scanned a radius of several kilometers. I began to follow the footsteps of groups of dwarves and search the surrounding areas.

Although this is the most tiring method, it is also the most reliable. I don't believe that under the mental scanning of the Demon Moon Wolf Witch, the source of the dwarf's mutation can be found and can be safely hidden.

This kind of confidence was maintained until the sun gradually grew bigger and turned fiery red, dyeing the sky into a red cloud, and then disappeared.

Waiter, we should have searched the surrounding area." I patted Ghost Wolf's hatband and asked.

"Woo~"

The waiter barked twice and nodded the wolf's head. The other three ghost wolves were still milling around, frightening the small animals hiding in the grass from time to time and running away in panic. They chased them to exhaustion like a cat playing with a mouse.

Then he took the credit and piled it up at my feet, as if he hadn't had enough fun yet.

"It's weird and makes no sense." I frowned and thought deeply.

In one afternoon, I searched dozens of kilometers around, and I found all the dwarf tribes mentioned by Somaco one by one, but I couldn't find anything strange.

Generally speaking, a dwarf cannot be too far away from its own territory. I did an experiment and found that if a dwarf was thrown hundreds of miles away, it would not be able to find its home.

Therefore, the area I searched just now should be almost all the activity areas of the nearby dwarfs. If there is a place that can cause them to mutate, then there is more than 90% chance that this place should be in the area I searched.

in.

But, it just can't be found.

After thinking about it, I think there are three possibilities.

First, what did I miss? Second, there is a magic barrier around the source of mutation, a magic barrier that prevents my mental power from scanning it. Third, there is no such fixed source of dwarfs at all.

Mutations occur randomly and can happen anywhere.

The first possibility is okay. If you think about it, there are Lena, Linya, Princess Sanwu, and Artolia. These wise generals can always fill in the omissions, but what if it is the second and third possibility?

, that’s more difficult.

Whether it is the second or third type, it is enough to show that the mutation of the dwarfs is man-made. The second case is more complicated. It may be the conspiracy of the hell clan, but it may also be the legacy left by the predecessors that caused the dwarfs to appear.

Mutation, because I have never heard of any magic circle that can deceive even mental power. It is not a barrier. If the mental power is blocked, I can immediately detect the abnormality. Only by detecting the mental power particles to a certain extent,

This can only be achieved through interference and deception. To put it bluntly, this method is like a hacker implanting a fake image into the camera.

This kind of effect is probably only possessed by ancient civilizations and ancient magic circles where powerful people were everywhere in the past.

I don't intend to make any jumpy conclusions before I have enough information to prove it.

As for the third situation, if it is the case, then there is no need to doubt it. It is definitely a living conspiracy. Someone or some monster is secretly at work, which makes me anxious and the search is fruitless.

In addition, there was no sign of little King Arthur today. Could it be that he noticed my actions and hid in fear? I was unwilling to use my mental power to detect at first. This is the reason. The movements were too big and very dangerous.

It's easy to scare the snake away, so that little King Arthur discovers it and becomes vigilant.

Forget it, that’s it for today’s search.

I recalled the other three ghost wolves that were still struggling nearby, caught them, put away the prey they had brought back, and then patted the waiter: "It's getting late, let's go back today, waiter."

After saying this, I gently closed my eyes, planning to use the little time on the journey back to sort out the guesses and clues in my mind.

But after waiting for more than ten seconds, there was no whistling sound as expected.

When did Xiaoer and the others act so strangely? There was not even a trace of movement at all.

I opened my eyes in surprise, and then I found speechlessly that the waiter was still standing there. He turned around and looked at me with innocent eyes, as if asking, go back? Where?

"Madeya settlement." I told it naturally.

Where is the settlement of Madea?

The waiter blinked his cold eyes innocently again.

This umbrella...

Only then did I remember that I had just left the Madeya settlement for a while before I summoned Xiaoer and the others.

So that's the case, no wonder the waiter didn't know, but it doesn't matter, Lou has this, the magical device prepared by the dirty lady, it's really good to be prepared for a rainy day.

With the momentum of Doraemon, I rummaged through the inventory, then raised a palm-sized, compass-shaped magic device high above my head, and took a close-up shot.
