Chapter 207 Learning

The officer held a piece of grass in his mouth and leaned against the door edge, monitoring the adventurer prisoner who had been untied.

Bite it into pieces and feel the smell of green grass gradually escaping from your mouth.

Slightly bitter, yet somewhat sweet.

The chewed grass roots in his mouth rarely pulled him away from the smell of gunpowder in the room, and cheered up his thoughts that were already a little burnt by the gunpowder.

The officer didn't dislike the smell of gunpowder smoke and flames. If there was too much of it, it would inevitably be a bit uncomfortable.

His task is to guard these prisoners and prevent them from escaping in the chaos. Others who were still active began to get into work. The soldiers and officers didn't know what to do with these smooth-skinned floating rays, so they collected them first and piled them together.

At the same time, he helped collect the bodies of his comrades and sorted and put away the clothes and weapons they left behind.

The sun was shining brightly outside, shining into the house, reflecting the smoke and dust floating in the air, illuminating the different faces of the adventurers, and his sight circulated inside and outside the house.

Those female mages were indeed able to help heal the wounds on the soldiers' shoulders. The spells they cast shone with light green light and healed the soldiers' wounds.

The officer recalled, who hadn't seen a broken spell model being constructed in his hands? The broken model could not bear the input source material, flickered slightly, then shattered into light spots and disappeared into the air.

It is not enough, the knowledge is not sufficient.

A complete spell model cannot be constructed.

Seeing the figure of Lord 누 appear in his sight, he scattered the model he had built for an unknown number of times in his hand, and ordered two soldiers who were responsible for cutting the floating ray bone blades outside to guard the prisoners.

The largest of these floating rays is as wide as a person's open arm, but it is light and soft, and can be lifted by one person. The small ones are as long as a forearm and can be lifted with one hand. Their bone blades and tail spines are not fully developed yet.

After cutting off the bone blades on their bodies, the soldiers could safely pick up the giant rays, otherwise they would be easily scratched.

The officer then pointed at Hackett and asked him to follow him.

"Don't you want to see the lord? Come with me."

The officer saluted Ji Lin, who nodded in return and looked at Hackett who was following the officer in surprise.

On the way here, he was thinking about how to deal with these floating rays. After all, they had never come into contact with this kind of island creature. It would be best to find someone who was more familiar with the local creatures to help them work.

Such as these adventurer prisoners.

The adventurers must have more information about the creatures in this world than they, the expedition team who have just set foot in this world. With the help of their understanding of the world, they were able to effectively cut and break down these large rays that could fly very fast.

A smile appeared at the corner of Ji Lin's mouth.

Take the initiative to come to him and save him a lot of effort.

From the moment he planned to use this group of adventurers, Ji Lin had already drawn a bottom line on the rights they could have. This group of captives would not have freedom in the short term.

At least until the territory takes complete control of all air islands, there will be dedicated officers responsible for keeping an eye on this group of people.

If these adventurers are not allowed to convey the information they have here, Ji Lin will not allow them to enter the territory due to their unguaranteed loyalty.

Their final result was to stay at the outpost to provide information to the expedition under surveillance. Jilin's current military strength was not enough to allow him to ignore the indigenous people... This situation would not last long.

In addition to leaving, other living conditions, food, he will try his best to satisfy these prisoners.

"Hello...Lord, hello, we are actually a team of adventurers hired here to mine floating stones..."

Hackett chattered his teeth and looked at the young man in front of him, who was respected by the officers as Lord Lord, with his tail hanging low.

This is their second meeting.

The officer's willingness to take him to meet the person in charge of this outpost at his request was already quite a favor to him, and Hackett would not expect too much from it.

Adventurer, to put it in a more elegant and modern way, military contractor. They all take money, work hard, have shaky moral standards, and take on everything their employers don't want to do - one of the oldest professions since the birth of civilization, mercenaries.

Ji Lin looked with interest at Hackett, who had ears and a tail. He had pointed ears, so he should be a wolf.

At least it was a member of the 꾦family, he wasn't sure.

"Hire me? It's interesting, but I need to see your ability."

Ji Lin used Hackett's suggestion to steer the topic in the direction he wanted. Ji Lin suddenly felt like an NPC sending out a mission.

But he was sending missions to indigenous NPCs in a position similar to that of a player, which was very strange.

But it feels good.

‘Ah, welcome, traveler, but one of the sheep is lost, can you help me find it? ’, ‘Before setting off, do you want to play xx cards with 놖’

Ji Lin chuckled at his behavior in 뀞, but still maintained his poker face outside, which made Hackett panic.

"We just killed two rays and eight rays. Let's teach our soldiers how to deal with this kind of thing... We won't kill you, so let go."

꺘굛The officers and two managers formed a circle, and they specially selected the largest floating ray and placed it on the wooden board, waiting for Hackett to give them an anatomy lesson.

Hackett swallowed his saliva, picked up the extremely sharp rune dagger they had returned to him, and began to decompose the floating ray. As the most common small predator in this sky island world, he knew these things very well and was familiar with them.

Surrounded by a group of officers in gray uniforms, who were still holding draft books in their hands, Hackett felt under great pressure.

Every time he made a move, he had to explain to these officers why he made this move. When one of the officers asked Hackett a question, he had to explain it to them patiently.

His life and the lives of his team were in their hands.

Hackett lowered his head, injected energy to control the rune circuit of the dagger in his hand to trigger it, making it sharp, and sank down to focus on decomposing the floating ray in front of him.

Cutting along the spine, the blade was stained with a light blue blood stain, revealing translucent flesh with a little blue blood. With a pull of the knife tip, Hackett could peel off half of the skin of the floating ray along the opening of the blade.

There are many valuable organs on the floating ray.

A layer of skin with excellent toughness and waterproofness, strong functionality, two bone blades that can be comparable to steel blades without polishing, and the softer spine with extremely sharp bone spurs.

The most valuable are two floating stone resonance amplifier chambers that look like a row of fish eggs. The flesh and blood and floating stones inside grow together, and faint purple light flashes in the interlaced silk screen. The floating ray relies on these two floating stone amplifier chambers to fly freely in the air.

The blood of the floating ray is a very good spell medium material, and the bone blades and spine can be ground into powder to become medium materials.
