Chapter 984: The World Is One Family

"Is...is that so? It's really...ahem."

For some reason, my words had no effect, and Bidya's expression became more and more embarrassed. He pinched his sparse white beard and laughed dryly.

Just when I was about to ask Bidiya why he asked me to come over, suddenly, a beeping sound came from behind the giant bookshelf four to five meters high behind Bidiya. This familiar sound made me I was confused for a while, and then gradually, it overlapped with the noise I heard every time I went to the door of Old Man Farah’s house.

Then, I saw that Bidya changed from his humble and amiable demeanor, and his face suddenly became very ugly. He walked back and forth anxiously like an ant in a hot pot, and started yelling. It seemed that he had completely forgotten the relationship between Jeluka and me. exist.

"It's not good, it's not good, it's going to explode, it's going to explode, it's strange, which link made the mistake? Could it be the formula that old Farah gave me... This bastard, I have to tear his Don’t show such an old face!!”

I:"……"

"Oops, Elder Fan, leave here quickly and hide outside, the experiment is about to explode."

Bidya, who suddenly remembered the existence of the two of us, raised his head in panic and urged us.

I left in a panic with Jeluka. Although an explosion of this magnitude was nothing to me, it was just like a piece of shit. You wouldn’t lose anything if you touched it, but who wants to suffer this for no reason? Sin?

"Is it okay for you to stay alone? President Bidiya." Before closing the door, I looked back and saw this scene. Bidiya kicked the bookshelf away with a very powerful kick, revealing the hidden book behind it. There are test benches and many test instruments emitting bubbles and smoke.

"It's okay, it's not a big problem, I'm used to it."

Bidya, who was stuck in the laboratory, just looked at me without looking back.

"..."

Looking at Bidiya's tall and thin figure, I slowly closed the door and sat down with my back against him.

One second, two seconds, three seconds...

I counted the time. If it were old Farah, it would be almost time now.

While I was thinking this, there was a booming explosion from the door behind me. As I expected, the door was very strong. Although it was almost deformed by the explosive airflow, it still did not let a trace of the energy of the explosion escape. It was just The entire Mage Guild trembled a few times, that's all.

This...should I say this?

I glanced at Jeluka who was sitting with her back leaning against another door. She looked like she was about to yawn out of boredom and muttered something in a low voice.

"It's like this in the clan, and it's like this on the human side as well. All the mages in the world are one family."

"..." I looked away, tears streaming down my face.

Guessing that the aftermath of the explosion had subsided, I opened the door again and carefully stuck my head in to confirm Bidya's survival.

In the huge study room, the huge bookshelves that were originally neatly arranged were tilted here and there, books and scrolls were scattered everywhere, and the books were in a mess. Thick smoke was everywhere, just like a battlefield where an extremely fierce war had just been fought.

"Cough, cough, cough... damn."

An unusually obvious sound sounded from the wall next to me. I looked along and found Bidya's figure. He was probably blown away by the strong explosion and hit the wall on the opposite side. He was covered in black and coughing. However, it seemed that he was fine. He stood up from the ground neatly and patted the blackened mage robe on his body as if nothing had happened. Suddenly he remembered something, pinched the sparse beard on his chin, moved his fingers one by one, and then showed regret. The expression of indifference suggests that someone was sacrificed in the explosion.

As expected of being a classmate of Old Farah, he has almost the same virtues. Now I just pray that Bidiya can at least be better than Old Farah in terms of character and integrity.

"President Bidiya, are you okay?"

"It's okay...ahem, things often make Elder Fan laugh."

Bidya took out his handkerchief and wiped his darkened face. Seeing that the matter could not be concealed, he had no choice but to tell the truth.

"Actually, I was doing an experiment just now. At the last critical moment, I heard that Elder Fan was coming. I couldn't walk away for a while, so I had to bother the elder to come over in person. After completing all the steps in a hurry, I didn't want the distinguished guests to see these unpleasant things. The things on the countertop were covered with bookshelves. Unexpectedly, the experiment ended up being..."

After saying that, the old man let out a long sigh. I don't know whether he was lamenting the failure of the experiment or letting us see this embarrassing scene.

"President Bidiya, you don't have to feel sorry. I'm used to it, at Farah's place."

I didn't know what expression to show at this time, so I just laughed a few times.

"Old Farana... ahem, that guy? Although that guy is a magic genius, he is always thinking about weird things in his mind. His experiments often go in the wrong direction. He has had humanoid self since he was a student. Nicknames like Fireball.”

Oh, it turns out that old Farah has such a dark history, which is good news. I immediately turned my brain, which had little space, to remember this sentence firmly. I can sell the news to Mu Aodonggua first. Although this guy is stingy , but the scandals about my old enemy Farah always opened up the tight purse strings. On the contrary, the same goes for old Farah. I made money from these two stingy old men just by selling their exclusive information to each other. A lot of benefits.

"Speaking of this experiment, it's because that guy sent me an inexplicable experimental formula a few days ago. I don't know if he was trying to trick me."

Bidiya cursed angrily, shook out a parchment scroll from his sleeve and handed it to me.

I couldn't understand the magic formulas listed above that were even higher than the high numbers, but the eye-catching title at the top of the scroll didn't hinder my understanding of it. There were several big characters written there.

The third feasible solution on how to change the eating habits of the Sinking Demon from a carnivorous monster to a vegetarian monster!

"..."

This title is full of complaints...what should I say? President Bidiya, although there is nothing wrong with Old Man Farah being idle and having a hard time, it is really boring for you to follow him around and follow the method on the scroll without hesitation.

"Elder Fan, don't you think this is a good idea? Think about it, in Camp Rogge, the ones that cause the greatest casualties to civilians every year are these hungry fallen demons everywhere, right? Imagine the human bones boiling in their pots , Don’t you feel sad? As long as this experiment is successful, wouldn’t it be able to greatly reduce civilian casualties?”

Bidya didn't seem to notice my sad expression now, and explained enthusiastically.

"Wait a minute, President Bidiya, let me understand what you mean first." I reached out to stop Bidiya from continuing, and pressed my temples that were about to explode.

"The idea between you and Farah is to develop something that will change the eating habits of the Sinking Demon - the Sinking Demon will change from a carnivore to a vegetarian - the Sinking Demon who does not eat meat will no longer be interested in civilians - the number of civilian casualties will be greatly reduced. That’s right.”

"Well, Elder Fan is right."

Bidiya nodded hesitantly, such a simple reasoning, do you still need to say it?

"Then I would like to ask President Bidiya, hard-skinned rats eat meat and are vegetarians. Do they eat humans?"

"A tough-skinned rat? It's not difficult for me. Although it also eats meat, this kind of monster is generally a vegetarian. It doesn't eat much and likes shady places. It often lurks in the bushes. Its attack method is to shoot out the body. Spikes..."

"Well, okay, I understand, then let me ask another question." Seeing Bidiya's tendency to talk endlessly, I quickly interrupted.

“Do crusty rats eat people?”

"At least no such sign has been found so far." This time, Bidiya learned the lesson and answered concisely.

"So last question, do tough-skinned rats kill people?"

"Of course, among the monsters scattered around Rogge's camp, apart from the Sinking Demon, most civilians died on their needles."

"So in other words, whether the fallen demon eats vegetarian food or meat has nothing to do with whether it kills people, right? Even if it changes to a vegetarian diet, there is no guarantee that they will not kill people. On the contrary, without the burden of food, maybe They will kill harder and crazier."

Bidya was stunned for a moment, then he suddenly burst out and snatched the scroll from my hand and tore it into pieces.

"Farah, you old man, how dare you mislead me, I'm not done with you!!"

"..."

Why did Bidiya stumble here on a problem that most ordinary people can figure out? I think from the beginning, his interest in the experiment was far greater than the purpose of the experiment, so he was easily deceived by Old Man Farah's words. Speaking of which, what does the "change three" after the name of the formula mean? I Should we complain about these two words together?

"Ahem, President Bidiya, let's talk about business first. Didn't you let us come just to observe your experiments?"

Seeing that Bidiya was still going crazy, I couldn't help but cough heavily.

"Of course not. Look at me, I forgot about this when I was angry. Come on, come on, you two sit down first."

Bidya looked around and found to his embarrassment that there was not even a single intact chair in the entire study.

"Sit down and you won't have to. What's wrong with President Bidya asking us to come?"

"That's it. I want your Excellency, Elder, to help me with something. Is that possible?"

"Yes, yes, I don't know what it is?"

I asked curiously, if it is a general attribute, with the Mage Guild's in-depth research on long-distance teleportation magic arrays, even the World Stone teleportation array has also benefited a lot. Now general letters and other things can be easily done. The delivery is more convenient and faster than [Beep] express delivery. Unlike before, when I returned to the camp from Lu Gaoyin, many mages asked me to take letters back.

I have a thick stack of letters from Cong in my arms, which is the best proof.

So far, the only things that cannot be carried back conveniently are some large items, such as the rickety bookshelves around, or living things, as large as snow-capped mammoths, as small as dead dogs, and even fleas. There is also a category of unstable magic items. Magic fluctuations transmitted through space are very likely to cause such items to explode. They are collectively called dangerous items. The only way to transport these items is through adventurers. As long as the dangerous items are placed on the items If the inside of the column is isolated, the transmission can be carried out safely.

These delivery regulations flashed through my mind one by one, so I became seriously interested in what Bediya asked me to carry... No, it would be more appropriate to say that I was vigilant.

"Haha, Elder Fan, don't worry, it's not something strange. Although there are many excellent mages gathered in the camp, there are too many things to study and you will always be overwhelmed, so many experiments are distributed to various places. The Mage Guild is doing the research on our behalf, and this time we asked Elder Fan to bring something like this."

Probably sensing my vigilance, Bidiya laughed, took out a sealed wooden box exuding a dangerous aura out of thin air, and placed it in front of me.

"If any elder is interested, you can take it apart and take a look."

"No, are you sending it to Farah? Are there any time requirements? President Bidia also knows that I have a mission now, and it may take a few months before I can visit Rogge Camp."

I shook my head, and my sixth sense made me reject Bidiya’s suggestion.

"That's right, just throw this thing to Farah when the time comes. There's no problem with the time, so don't worry."

After putting away the big wooden box that exuded a strange smell, I saw that Bidiya was even studying boring experiments like old Farah when he was idle. I was wondering if I could find something serious for him to do, and there happened to be one right now. pieces.

"Wait, President Bidia, if you have time, I would like to ask you for a favor, okay?"

"Oh, of course, you're welcome, Elder Fan. Did you encounter any problems with this mission? I've also heard what happened. It's been a really hard time for you on this trip. If there's anything I can do to help, please feel free to do so. Order, the entire Mage Guild will do its best to provide assistance."

Without even looking, Bidiya expertly used telekinesis to organize the bookshelves, books, scrolls and furniture scattered everywhere. While talking to me, this powerful skill was exactly the same as that of old Farah. Speaking of their class, Are all mage students who have transferred professions such a bad virtue? I really want to know whether I met a "good" mentor or was infected by old man Farah.

"Oh, that's it... um, wait."

I suddenly remembered that I hadn’t read the letter I received from Akela yet, so I’d better wait until I read Akela’s advice before speaking.

After finding Akara's reply, I quickly opened it and read it, and I was speechless.

On a blank page of paper, there were only four big words written: It’s up to you

If it's up to me, I might as well take all the adventurers in the alliance to go sightseeing in the main elf city to chase girls. No one would refuse my proposal.

After staying for a moment, I glanced at the pornographic maid with malice in response to Akara's act of handing off the shopkeeper, and thought to myself.

The idea is beautiful, but things have to be done, otherwise Amrudina, who was struggling to resist in the peeling forest, would draw circles and tie up villains for me.

I crumpled the letter paper in my hand into a ball and then into powder, and then explained my proposal to Bidya.

"So that's it. It's too simple for our guild. If necessary, our guild can also dispatch some people and be responsible for the liaison work for this operation. What do you think?"

"Thank you so much."

I was very happy. I had this plan in the first place. I didn’t expect Bidiya to be so careful and thoughtful. I just mentioned it briefly and took all the issues into consideration, especially the liaison work. I didn’t want every adventure team to be blind. Yes, an isolated operation is both dangerous and inefficient. Although the Mages Guild's communication methods may not be as good as those of the Elves, they are enough. With their help, this operation can connect the dots one by one into one. A huge network, messaging and requesting support will become simple.

"It's just that if you want to summon adventurers, you have to go to Dean."

"Well, I was planning to go see Elder Dean just now. If you don't mind, President Bidiya will also go with me. Can you guys please implement the specific steps?"

"Of course it's best. There hasn't been a mission like this for a long time. Those violent elements in the guild will go crazy with joy after hearing the news."

After getting Bidiya's assistance, we set off without stopping, and soon found Dean, the person in charge of Kurast, and the three of us got together to discuss.

By the way, Dean seems to be a distant relative of Kane, and his appearance and clothing are somewhat similar. If this were a game, I would have to accuse the manufacturer of cutting corners on the character mold.

In fact, this operation is not very deployable. No matter how well we planned it in advance, we encountered unruly guys like Alliance adventurers. It would only be called if they could follow orders in a well-behaved manner. There is a ghost.

Therefore, in this operation, apart from the adventurers who risked their lives, the hardest part was the Mage Guild who was responsible for liaison. Since it couldn't go as planned, we had to adapt to circumstances. We had to keep in touch with each team at all times. Just fine.
