Chapter 572  A strange bird

[OP: ]

Standing in a pretty open area in the outskirts, Eon prepared his bow and some normal arrows.

Some distance away from them, well, actually, far away from them, was a group of twenty ants operating on a dead body of a giant wolf-like creature.

They seemed to be cutting it in pieces to take it with them since the creature was far bigger than them, but, they were only clearly visible to Eon's eyes.

Rein could see them but not very clearly, and Zoe wasn't looking at them otherwise she could have been able to see them clearly too.

However, Miss Moon had no idea where her master was aiming.

Rein did tell her that there were ants ahead of them, but even in this clear plain, there was nothing as far as her eyes could see.

However, she didn't doubt them. At least for now, she just followed their eyes and looked in the same direction as them.

"Do you know how to use the basic (Farsight) spell, Moon?" But, she was the one who asked him to show her his archery. It wasn't good that she couldn't see it herself.

"I obviously do…? Why?"

His question was strange, like, she was a (tier-5) wind-water elemental mage, so she obviously knew most of the common basic (tier-0) spells.

"Good. Then cast (Farsight), (Water mirror), (Light refraction), and (Vacume) precisely before your eyes."

He suggested that with a pretty normal tone but, from what instructions he gave her, she could tell what he was trying to do.

"We can't get a telescopic vision like you with simple spells like them master. We would at least need stronger spells or ones-"

"No." Eon sternly shook his head. "You don't need strong or complicated spells just to look a few kilometers in the distance.

Those spells are enough. Just cast them in the order I mentioned."

He stared at her calmly and even Rein looked back at the two that were doing pass time after begging her to give them these ants for their little demonstration.

She was having fun but for the sake of her darling, she gave up on her prey and now instead of hunting them, they were doing a magic lesion in the middle of nowhere.

"Alright."

And, their calm gazes were not intimidating, we can say, but they were definitely serious about this spell things.

So, she just gave it a try and cast all those basic spells he mentioned in the order, and…

"It might not work with normal mages, but, when a Magi uses these basic (tier-0) spells, or more precisely as elders call it, the Root magic spells, they enhance their physical abilities naturally, thus, enhancing their senses.

Remember this and try combining all the Root magic spells you know to see the different results."

She was a unique person that didn't know about her uniqueness at all. Which wasn't that bad since she was still young and with them now. She was smart and she had a long time before her to learn.

"Yes…"

She could now see things from afar clearly like someone had fit a telescope right before her eyes. And she could even adjust this telescope without much problem which was even more amazing!

"Haaa…"

It was her first time experiencing something like this, but, she was defiantly starting to understand what Sir Zhen meant when he said it would be best to learn things directly from him.

"Alright then."

Eon got into position once again and was just about to set the arrows on his bow when…

"Big brother~! You were right~! It really was because of a Pink nightangle~!"

Zoe suddenly spoke up and ran towards them with that magic screen in her hands, which was connected to an artificial surveillance device that was observing a certain bird on the other end of the island.

"Damn~! Let's go get it Eon~!"

On the monitor, there was an image of an unsightly bird that seemed to have multiple tongues and looked nothing like a usual bird, and it was big, really big.

But more than that, there seemed to be two unique blue egg-like rocks sitting inside a nest-like place, which was surrounded by many kinds of fine crops.

"Fascinating…"

It was an arrow in the dark but it did hit the target.

And maybe, he hit three targets this time.

"The unique pheromones a new mother pink nightingale releases have a tendency to confuse the senses of other creatures and the chemical composition of two pheromones could cause distress in the senses of red ants.

But the chances are thin, and the ants work quickly to change their own pheromones network type if something like this happens.

Still, this is a very rare phenomenon. And, a Pink nigtangle… they are considered a symbol of luck despite its unique appearance.

This one must have lost its way, ended up in a wind current, and dragged to this island.

It's a miracle she's alive and actually managed to give birth. But, after going through all this, there's no way in hell she would even welcome her own husband in her nest.

We can't go there until the eggs hatch. And since they are very fascinating (Purplr) ranked magic lie creatures, we have to report this to the headmaster."

There was a smile on his face. A rare, warm, happy smile he only had when he sees something he himself couldn't believe.

"And you guessed it was a Pink nightingale just from some missing crops… you are the fascinating one, master."

She was surprised, but she had learned that he was full of surprises already.

It was amazing to guess something so unique from that little piece of information.

"Pink nightingales are the only picky ones about their food.

They only eat crops despite their strangely aggressive appearance, and they only eat the best.

If something doesn't qualify their standards, they wouldn't even touch their tongues to that thing, and everyone knows the best golden wheat growers in the center of the golden plains. It would obviously be strange if the best goes missing overnight."

His explanation and logic didn't make much sense to her but she got the idea.

And, Rein had an excited expression as she closely looked at the monitor and the creature visible inside it.

It looked quite attractive to her and the eggs with real eye-like patterns are also cute.

"I want the mom…"

But her heart was taken by the big one. Her loving eyes were proof enough that she wanted this one as much as the blue bees. However, just like the bee egg, she would have to wait till these eggs hatch to even safely get close to her.

"She laid eggs today, so… at least four months. You will have to wait for them too. And it would still be uncertain if that mom wants to follow you, so you should start thinking about how you will convince her."

Eon smiled at her and patted her shoulders but she was too busy to look back at him and continued observing the marvelous creature with excitement.

"Hehehe, you should continue your demonstration, brother. Those ants seem to have finished collecting."

"Right."

He left her and the monitor by themselves and moved back with Moon and Zoe.

"Miss Moon~. You should see how he shoots the arrows first and then the targets.

They will hit anyway, and when they hit, they will surely finish them~."

Moon didn't know if she was using some skill or something but Zoe seemed to be able to see those things clearly like Eon.

And her suggestion meant she didn't have to use the spells from the start so, she canceled them quickly and focused on Eon as he got into position.

Holding his bow and arrows, in his hands, he set four arrows on the bow at once and prepared the next five sets of four that he would use consecutively.

"Huuuu…"

Taking a deep breath, he looked back up at something far away on the horizon, pulled back his bowstrings, positioned his bow, prepared the hands, and…

-Swish. Swish. Swish. Swish.

He released the bowstring and, at the exact same moment...

-Swash. Swash. Swash. Swash!

A little current of wind exploded in that place as Miss Moon saw all the arrows from the quiver vanish without a trace.

"Look."

But, she heard his voice, and quickly looked back at the distance where the ants were just about to leave when…

Suddenly, something came down from the sky and crushed right into their skulls, pierced the hard exoskeletons, and obliterated it completely.

And, it happened with all twenty of them almost at once, confusing, even shocking Miss Moon even more.

"That's my basic long-range archery."

She canceled the spells and looked back at him with genuine surprise.

The way he called what he just did 'basic' meant many things and many of them were not believable in many ways.

"I can do more but, you will see it when the time comes."

And then, he just smiled at her mysteriously.

It hadn't been much longer since she was with them but she was learning new things about this strange person.

Most of the things he was learning were also mostly only surprising or shocking for her but, as she got used to it and accepted the awesomeness of this person she swore to follow forever, she was understanding how little she knew about the world and the limits of human life.

"Alright then. Let's meet the colorful flamingos."

He smiled at her, took away the monitor from Rein's hands and stored it in his storage space, and patted Zoe's head.

"Oyyyy!"

And though Rein was angry he did that, she thankfully didn't retaliate much.

They had a plan for today and according to that plan, they were supposed to have lunch with the flamingo queen.

And, it was almost lunchtime already so, they couldn't just play around with ants or play with arrows anymore.

They had to pick up the pace now. This meant it was time to meet the famous, colorful, protected creatures that terrorize the airships even remotely passing through their territories…
