Black Hearted Mage

The three elderly elven elders each took out their sharp daggers and prepared to dissect the mutated monster's corpse. After careful discussion, they each began to cut at different parts of the mutated monster.

Ocus also came to help at this time. He was using alchemical instruments to test the smelly blood of the monster.

"Phyllis, go get some Shadow Dancers to skin it. They can do it by pulling or dragging. The hide of the mutant Dark Demon Lizard is too tough. Even the Lawbreaker Blade needs a lot of force to cut through it!"

"Okay, let's go now!"

Phyllis, wearing leather armor, kept her eyes fixed on the mutated monster's tail. The serrated hard scales were too sharp, and the fallen trees around were the best proof of that.

"Great Elder, can you spare me a piece of its tail?"

Phyllis asked with some anticipation. She really wanted to get the tail of this mutant monster. It was a rare treasure that could be made into a whip with extremely strong attack power.

"I definitely can't give it to you for free, but I can give you priority to redeem it with your contribution points!"

Crassus said with a smile, he knew that the tail of this mutant monster was very important to Phyllis.

"Really? That's great, thank you, Great Elder!"

Phyllis was so happy that she almost jumped up. She looked at Crassus with tears of gratitude and said that she would work hard to earn contribution points in exchange for the tail of this mutant monster.

"Alright, go get some help! We need to finish the autopsy as soon as possible!"

Crassus urged, he knew that time was running out and he had to hurry to deal with the corpse of the mutant monster.

Phyllis nodded, turned around and left immediately to find some shadow dancers to help skin the animals.

After Phyllis left, Crassus continued to concentrate on the dissection work. Together with the other two elders, he carefully disassembled the various parts of the mutated monster in order to better study their tissue structure and characteristics.

Meanwhile, Okus was responsible for collecting samples and recording data, ensuring that all information was accurately recorded. The entire scene was busy and orderly, as everyone worked hard to understand the secrets of the mutant monster.

"Crassus, you are abusing your power for personal gain. Phyllis is Lambert's daughter and your great-granddaughter!" Old Ethan joked.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do about it, and this tail is really important to her." Crassus explained with a smile.

"Haha, but seriously, you are really biased towards her." Old Ethan continued to tease.

"Of course. After all, we have such a genius in our family. How can we not be partial to him?" Crassus said proudly.

"By the way, it's a good thing your two granddaughters are in seclusion, otherwise they would probably quarrel again over this tail!" Crassus suddenly seemed to remember something and said to Old Ethan with a smile.

Old Ethan felt a sudden headache upon hearing this. Although his two granddaughters were twins, their personalities were completely different. The elder sister was more calm, while the younger sister was more lively. The two often argued over trivial matters. Especially when it came to interests, neither would give in.

By this time, the elves had already dealt with the mutated monsters and were preparing to return to the crater. Krasus, on the other hand, decided to personally perform alchemy in order to create an extremely effective physical enhancement potion.

Meanwhile, the Violet Alliance received news of the incident. They learned that the mutant monster had been hunted down by the people of the Thorn Flower Kingdom. Furthermore, a photo stone documented the hunt. This photo stone was extremely important to the Violet Alliance, as it provided insights into the Thorn Flower Kingdom's strength.

In the Mage Alliance of Violet City, two great magicians watched the film over and over again. They were repeatedly struck by the spells displayed. One was a large-scale frost spell, while another was something even he couldn't understand.

"Hurry up and invite the people from the North Tower, so that they can also witness the true strength of the Thorn Flower Trading Company with their own eyes!" Joyce, the great magician of the Mage Alliance, gave orders to his students.

In less than half a quarter of an hour, the three great magicians from the Northland Tower arrived.

"Teacher, come and take a look at the photo we just got. There are even more powerful people in the Thorn Flower Trading Company!"

"Let's take a look at the photos first!"

Old Roman was very satisfied with his student, Joyce, because he was always able to convey important news to him at the first time.

Old Roman, Kandel, and Ethan, the master of the Northland Tower, all watched the photo with great concentration, not wanting to miss any details.

The terrifying monster was enough to make people shudder just by looking at it. It actually ate all the craftsmen who were responsible for digging the tunnel. If no one had led it away, the entire Violet City might have become its food.

The gorgeous spells kept flashing with light, and their lethality was extremely astonishing, especially the large-scale magic attacks, which were beyond the reach of human magicians.

"It's Caesars!"

Just as the photo session was about to end, Kandel suddenly spotted a familiar figure in the frame—Caesars. He couldn't help but let out a cry of surprise. Joyce, standing nearby, also looked puzzled. She couldn't understand why her junior fellow student was appearing with someone from the Thorn Flower Company.

"Teacher, what is going on?"

Facing the students' questions, Old Roman slowly explained, "Kaisas has been traded to the Thorn Flower Trading Company. They paid for this with four bottles of high-level life potion. Kaisas needs to go to the Thorn Flower Trading Company to feed the black snake. In exchange, the Thorn Flower Trading Company will provide us with the venom of the golden-eyed black snake. This matter has been approved by the Northland Tower."

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared on Old Roman's face, while Kandel fell into deep thought.

"Old Roman, something is wrong! Caesar went to feed the black magic snake, so why did he come to the forest?" said the great alchemist Kandel.

"Let's not talk about Kaisas for now; that's not a big deal. Let's talk about the spells that appeared in the photo. One is a frost spell, and the other, judging only by the color of the magical light, is probably an arcane spell."

Old Ethan knew a little about the arcane, but he had never seen any books related to it, nor did he know how to use arcane energy.

"Old Roman, the Thorn Flower Trading Company has connections with the Western Continent, the former Frost Castle, and Ludwig Castle. They may have known about this extremely ferocious monster for a long time!" Kandel knows a lot of things, and the Northland Tower also has some obscure records.

"This magical beast is indeed a bit strange. It looks very similar to a dark demon lizard, but it's over ten times larger than an ordinary dark demon lizard. Most importantly, it's extremely ferocious and has amazing defensive capabilities. The magicians of the Thorn Flower Kingdom are probably all mages. They can cast powerful spells with a range of thirty to forty yards, and their lethality is extremely high. As for the matter of the magical beast, it's hard to say whether the Thorn Flower Trading Company is aware of it!"

Old Roman's face was filled with melancholy. The underground ruins of Ludwig Castle were completely destroyed, and he hadn't expected such a terrifying beast to emerge. Even more surprising was that it was ultimately slain by the men of the Thorn Flower Company. All their years of meticulous preparation had been wasted.

"I'm going to the Thorn Flower Trading Company to see if I can buy some alchemical materials from monsters!"

Kandel was already getting restless and no longer cared about the magic in the photo. His mind was full of the monster.

The Thorn Flower Trading Company's headquarters was only half a mile away from the Mage Alliance, and it only took a few steps to reach it. Kandel hurried over, completely ignoring the surprised looks of the other great magicians.

In the forest of the crater, dozens of elves were busy. Their movements were skillful, clearly a sign of familiarity with such things. Some were scraping excess grease from the hides with sharp knives, while many more were carefully carving up huge chunks of meat.

"Be careful, that's the heart of the monster. There should be some blood in it. Next to the heart is the magic core!"

Crassus watched from the side, instructing the elves, his tone somewhat excited, as if this was something extremely important.

The magic core of the Warcraft is wrapped in a layer of membrane, which makes it look a bit large. This membrane is used to protect the magic core and protect it from the influence of the surrounding environment.

"Ms. Phyllis, how do we stew such a big bone? We don't have a pot that big!"

Caesars watched from the side as the bones, bearing the beast's flesh, were removed and piled in a large heap on the lawn. The beast's bones were incredibly thick, still stained with traces of blood and flesh. The beast's flesh was a dark red, with not a trace of fat visible.

"Little one, don't worry about this. The bones will definitely be cut. Just wait and eat. But I have to remind you that your grandfather and father can't eat it. This is a juvenile legendary monster. The powerful magical energy contained in its flesh and blood is simply unbearable for ordinary people to eat it!"

Phyllis smiled and gently patted Caesar's shoulder. Her smile revealed a confidence and kindness that made people feel very warm.

"Will you get an upset stomach?" Caesars asked.

"Eating dead people is possible!"

At the Thorn Flower Trading Company in Violet City, an uninvited guest arrived—the anxious Kandel. He strode into the store and eagerly said to the clerk, "I need to buy materials for the Warcraft you just hunted."

"Sorry, we cannot accept your transaction request." The bank manager replied coldly.

Kandel's eyes widened as he asked in disbelief, "Why? I'm a great alchemist!"

The director of the Thorn Flower Trading Company shrugged and explained in a firm tone, "The alchemists in the Northland Tower can't even process the materials of super monsters. Purchasing materials from legendary monsters is bound to cause huge waste." After that, he turned and left, leaving Kandel standing there in a daze.

Kandel felt a wave of despair. He had originally thought that as a master alchemist, he could at least purchase some of the magical beast materials to research. But now, it seemed that everything had become even more difficult. He shook his head helplessly, sighed, and slowly left the Thorn Flower Trading Company.

Not long after, the dejected Grand Alchemist returned to the Mage Alliance's headquarters. He sat there dejectedly, silent, his heart filled with anxiety and unease. Seeing this, several other Grand Mages gathered around, concernedly inquiring about what had happened.

Kandel took a deep breath and looked up, a hint of worry in his eyes. His voice trembled as he spoke, "I just went to the Thorn Flower Trading Company and was rejected as soon as I expressed my intention to buy. But they told me that the alchemists at the North Tower can't even process materials from super beasts, so buying alchemical materials from legendary beasts would be a waste."

Upon hearing this news, the faces of the other great magicians instantly became solemn, and they realized the seriousness of the problem.

Kandel sighed and continued, "That's just a legendary monster, guarding the ruins of Ludwig Castle. It possesses immense power, capable of easily destroying a city. According to the Thorn Flower Trading Company, it's still a juvenile. If it's not hunted down in time, it will grow even more powerful over time, and the entire Violet Alliance will become its food."

"Never mind the legendary monsters. It's going to be difficult for us to hunt down super monsters!"

Old Roman looked at several great magicians. There were super monsters south of the border of the Violet Alliance. They could be seen as long as they passed through the great swamp in the south.

Mercenaries on Roland Continent have designated the area south of the Great Swamp as a restricted area. Mercenaries are allowed to enter, but their commissions must be doubled.

"Hunting the ground dragons in the volcanic area requires setting very strong traps. Close combat is almost suicide, and magic damage to ground dragons is also very limited. You need a powerful crossbow, preferably a dragon hunting crossbow."

Ethan, the tower master of the Northland Tower, said a few words, and the others also understood very well. In the Warcraft classification, super Warcraft is on the same level as human great magicians, great warriors, and great knights, but the strength of Warcraft will crush humans by one level.

If a great magician were to face a super beast in a one-on-one duel, the great magician would be no match. Even if several great magicians attacked together, they wouldn't necessarily be able to defeat a super beast. Therefore, hunting a super beast requires a sufficient number of men and powerful weapons and equipment. The Dragon Hunting Crossbow is a weapon specifically designed to deal with super beasts, capable of inflicting immense damage.

The Dragon Hunting Crossbow was complex to manufacture and expensive, making it out of reach for the average person. Only large mercenary groups or nobles could possibly be equipped with a weapon like the Dragon Hunting Crossbow.

The Northland Tower only had two dragon-hunting crossbows, far from enough to hunt the Earth Dragon. However, these great magicians now had their minds set on hunting the Earth Dragon. With the ruins beneath Ludwig Castle destroyed, the super monsters became nothing more than a pile of walking gold coins in their eyes.
