Chapter 1340: Let Me Consecrate You“There"s nothing we need you to do in the morning.” Mag shook his head with a smile before saying to Jane, “Oh, yes. Which tribe do you belong to? Do you have a designated island in the Demon Islands?”
“I belonged to the Unicorn Demon Tribe. According to my mother, our unicorn demon tribe was almost all exterminated in the racial war. Only dozens of our people survived after the war, so we weren"t given an island of our own.” Jane shook her head. A hint of melancholy flashed through her eyes. She had never met any of her people except for her mother. Her father died before she was born.
Mag was thoughtful. The racial war was catastrophic to every species. Once it started, no species was going to emerge as the winner.
“Then, what kind of natural racial talents do you have? Such as magic or some kind of mutation?” Mag continued to ask. Jane was too weak, and it wasn"t easy for her to survive on this chaotic Carapace Island without a skill.
“Mother had never taught me before. I don"t know magic or how to mutate.” Jane shook her head.
“Unicorn Demons are rare light-type demons. They were annihilated then because they released too much healing holy light on the battlefields, which antagonized everyone. Therefore, there was a saying then, "We can lose the group battle, but the Unicorns have to die"! And before the war was over, the unicorn demons were almost all dead.” Irina had got up too, and she was smiling and leaning against the wall.
“Healing Holy Light?” Jane"s eyes lit up. Even though she didn"t understand what Irina meant by group battle, she was sure that unicorn demon"s magic should be useful.
“Light-type demon?” Mag"s eyes lit up too. Ever since Irina used the Holy Light to cleanse the black fog easily, he had been trying to replicate it, but light-type magic casters were extremely rare, and he had only seen Irina up till now. He hadn"t expected Jane to be a natural light-type demon.
“Goldihorn, you"re not without a natural talent. It"s just that this golden horn has not been
consecrated yet.” Irina approached and tapped on Jane"s champagne golden horn lightly. A ray of Holy Light lit up at the tip of her finger, and then pierced into the golden horn like a needle.
Crack.
A sound of mud casing shattering appeared, and a thin layer of sh.e.l.l fell off the golden horn. There was a gleam in the golden horn, as if it was lit up. It was emitting a bright golden light.
Mag was amazed by Irina"s consecration method as he witnessed that scene. That was a real consecration.
Jane was rooted to the ground as she stared upward at the horn that was emitting a golden light. There was a warm sensation on her forehead, and a strange power started to spread out within her body as if it was changing it.
Why was her horn suddenly glowing? What was that mysterious power?
Approximately three minutes later, the golden beam went away completely, and Jane"s horn became a semi-transparent golden horn that resembled a crystal artwork which looked so much more sophisticated than it was before.
“Goldihorn, seems like your bloodline is rather pure. Your talent should be quite good.” Irina came over and observed Jane"s golden horn for a while seriously before nodding with satisfaction. “Since this is the case, you will learn Holy Light Technique from me.”
Jane"s face lit up before she hesitated again. “C-could I really do that?”
She was always the target of bullying and teasing ever since she was young. She didn"t have the power to protect herself or her mother, and could only hide in perilous caves on cliffs like a downtrodden dog.
And now, the lady boss actually wanted to teach her Holy Light Technique. Although she had no idea what that was, it was still tremendously precious to her.
“Since we have nothing to do in the morning, I will start teaching you after breakfast,” Irina said relaxedly before going into the bathroom, and began to brush her teeth and wash up.
“I will go make breakfast.” Mag smiled and went downstairs. Since Irina was going to teach Jane Holy Light Technique, he didn"t have to worry anymore. After all, Jane didn"t look like she was going to be great in learning sword fighting skills. After she learned about Holy Light, the least she could do was to work in an anime company and apply high-cla.s.s mosaic over their work.
After breakfast was over, Irina brought Jane up to the balcony to learn Holy Light Technique. Amy said she wanted to learn, so she went up with them too.
Mag left the house and b.u.mped into the family of rock trolls going out with wooden buckets. He smiled, and greeted, “Good morning. Are you all going to the beach?”
“Yes, Boss Hades. You"re collecting crayfish, right? So, we"re going to catch some too. We can exchange two living ones for a cooked one. It"s better than working at the quarry,” Ivan replied with a smile. This was the outcome of their family meeting last night.
“Then I hope that your bucket will overflow with crayfish.” Mag smiled. He didn"t expect Ivan and his family would join in the activities of catching the crayfish. Seemed like the craze for catching the crayfish had just begun.
At 8am, a long line began to form outside the restaurant"s door again, and the number of fishermen was double of yesterday"s. Many of them were amateur fishermen with mud all over their faces who obviously had just joined in the catching craze.
And those experienced fishermen had buckets and nets full of crayfish and confident smiles on their faces as they sneered at those newbies who had only caught one or two crayfish.
The long line attracted the curiosity of many demons who walked by. When they heard catching the same crayfish would earn them 50 copper coins each at this crayfish restaurant, many of them rushed to the beach with the fear of missing out.
Mag bought all the crayfish that the fishermen brought there at 50 copper coins each, being true to his word.
The fishermen counted the money they received happily with satisfied smiles on their faces.
Kitar put the money in his pocket carefully, and then expectantly asked Mag, “Boss, do you sell crayfish in the morning?”
“I only sell them in the noon and evening. It"s too heavy to eat crayfish in the morning.” Mag shook his head with a smile.
“Oh, I see. Then I can only come back to eat it tonight,” Kitar said regrettably. He had caught another 40-odd crayfish last night, and earned over 2000 copper coins. Both him and his wallet were rather full.
Furthermore, the crayfish that this boss made was really very delicious!
He had never eaten such delicious food before, and it had subverted everything he knew about food. They were only supposed to fill the stomach, but they tasted so marvelous after being processed by his hands.
Mag placed all the crayfish that he had collected into the pond, and washed them with fast running water a few times before filling the pond up with clean water. He tossed two broken swords in to make them spit out the dirt.
This morning, he had collected 1523 crayfish, and the mission progress had changed to 8/100.
“System, shouldn"t the mission be considered a success after I made the demons on Demon Islands fall in love with eating crayfish? I have set up a natural enemy for them, so even if they breed and multiply, they won"t be creating any problems. Most probably, they wouldn"t even be enough for them to eat,” Mag said in his heart.
