62 Soul Mates (1/2)
When compared to myself or Hylia her stats were rather lack luster. But luckily her magic was not dependent on her stats, rather on her magic core. Perhaps this is why Wizards were so desired in this world. I did notice she had not purchased her class skill yet, and she told me she couldn't decide between wisdom and intellegence. After thinking for a moment I told her to invest in wisdom. Her spells were relatively low cost, so as long as her regeneration could keep up with it she could keep casting indefinitely.
Her fireballs cost 100 mana, and she could cast 4 of them per second. That's four hundred mana per second. If she could get her wisdom up to 4,000 she could keep casting them indefinitely. Of course that was a long say off, but even a thousand mile journey starts with a single step.
She nodded at my word and purchased the skill right away. I could tell that the mana around her was being absorbed at an increased rate. I nodded at her decision.
I did not stop to wait for her as I began to run to the Guild building. I had a rather ominous feeling that this would not be an isolated incident. The chaos I encountered at the guild showed that in was correct.
I ignored the crowds and went up the stairs. I did not need to wait on the beurocrocy as I headed straight to my mothers office. She was in the middle of a meeting with her door closed. I did not care as I slammed the door open. The man inside was the Elderly man who I had met earlier. He seemed outraged at my abrupt entry, but his mouth quickly shut when he saw the head I threw at him.
The head was rather grotesque. Half of the face was that of a mantis, the large yellow eyes and green skin. the other half was that of a familiar looking elf.
”The bug god has already made a move. Based on the chaos I witnessed downstairs Micah's change is not an isolated incident.”
The elderly man paled visibly as he looked at the still bleeding severed head. Nonetheless he picked up the head and began to examine it. With practiced movements he cut the head open with a dagger. Inside was a small mantis looking insect, no bigger than the nail on your pinkie.
”This is a [Body Snatcher Insect]. They are native to an isolated island in the south east. When the insects were discovered the island has become a forbidden zone.”
He paused before continuing, taking the time to kill the small bug.
”There is only one known way to deal with them. which is to kill the host, and then remove the insect. If they are not killed in time they will breed in the Host, and send out hundreds of offspring.”
The man looked me up and down. ”Your merits have all ready increased again.”
He bowed to my mother. ”We will continue this conversation later. It seems I need to set up screening on all members of the guild. No, not just the guild, thenregulsr citizens must be screen as well. They are even more susceptible to these insects.”
Behind me Sierra was in awe as she bowed to the old man and my mother. ”I apologize for the intrusion guild master and Vice guild master.”
