The Only Aura User In Magic World
Chapter 782 - 782 Taking the Bird to the Magicless Area782 Taking the Bird to the Magicless Area
Now those who are staying will help me interrogate the bird. Though I don’t think the bird can talk. So we will try our best to understand what the bird is thinking from its reaction.
Other than me and Victoria, Kayla and Candy is here. Just the four of us.
As for the rest, I brought them home. I let Wendy to inform Albert about everything. Including the weretigers who are freed and will possibly join us, and the suspicious green bird I have.
As for the weretigers, I transported them to Monsters World. To the Monsters Village where most of them except for Tiger has been staying at.
And now that there doesn’t seem to be anymore mission we could take, I told the weretigers and the werewolves that they are free to fight as much as they want as long as no one is dying. I still need the werewolves after all. As for the weretigers, they will most likely accept me as their new king and will join us as well. So I will need them as well for further mission.
With the angels watching over them, I don’t think that anyone will die soon from a fight. Though I think the angels’ healing magic will improve quickly because of the weretigers’ arrival.
Just a few days after meeting, the werewolves and the weretigers already have sense of rivalry. No one wants to lose to the other. Though from what I heard from Graham, it looks like everything will be fine. It’s just a healthy rivalry. No one is going to kill anyone.
Maybe they have gotten along so well in just one night staying together. That would be great.
I think it would be even better if I could get many other were-type monsters. I would really be called the King of the Monsters if I do.
.....
Well, I will wait for their answer soon. I’m busy interrogating the bird.
I left some people in the destroyed city to investigate the city and watch it in case someone is coming. We still don’t know many things about the cult. And the others thought that they could get something important in this city knowing that everyone here is extremely loyal to the cult. I think I’ve seen and heard many explosion throughout the battle. Those are the explosion from the weaker cult members who killed themselves by exploding their own heads.
The two agents who were responsible for the investigation mission in the first place also volunteered to stay. One is because he was here the longest and know more than the others, while the other is because he couldn’t achieve anything even though it was supposed to be his mission.
As long as there’s no reinforcement from the cult, it should be fine.
After we move close to the border of the Magicless Area, I stopped right in front of it.
“Victoria, before I forget, let’s make a bird cage from Blobbies to make sure that the bird is unable to get away. Even without magic, its speed is still fast,” I said.
“Oh, right.”
Then a bird cage was created quickly. I put the bird inside and carried the bird cage. There’s no door so even with how smart the bird is, it won’t be able to escape unless I want to.
“Will that bird cage stay inside the Magicless Area?” Kayla asked.
“Yes. But it won’t change while inside the area. If you need anything, tell me before we enter,” I said.
I think I know why Kayla is here. She’s more curious about the Magicless Area than interrogating the bird. I mean who in the right mind would think of interrogating a bird who can’t even speak human language? They must be crazy. And I’m crazy.
We entered the Magicless Area and the two girls curiously tried to use magic. But they failed to do so. They even tried using magic items, but the magic items didn’t work as intended.
“Wow, if the fishnet stocking got destroyed here, then there’s nothing we can do to change it,” Kayla said.
“...You’re wearing it,” I said after I looked at her legs. Under her pants, she’s wearing a familiar fishnet stocking that I got from a dungeon.
“Yes. Sophie gave it to me since she will not fight in the war anymore. Her fight is in the hospital. In the operating room,” Kayla said.
“I see. And she gave it to you because you don’t have neither fire element nor ice element to protect yourself from fire and ice magic. Jewel might be one of the candidate to receive it, but because she can transform into a rhinoceros, or a triceratops now, the stocking will just get destroyed when she transform. That’s why it was given to you,” I said.
We got quite deep in the Magicless Area and enter the village where the previous ten master level mages were living. And we started thinking of what we should do to the bird.
“By this time, its master should notice that the familiar can no longer receive or give information via telepathy, right? Once the master can send more telepathic message, if that person is a summoner, he would open a portal instantly. Bringing many people with them. And there will be another fight,” Candy said.
“In that case, as soon as we leave this place, we should go to a safe place. Probably the Monsters Village. Because without having to inform anyone, once they see strangers, they would fight. Or at least the werewolves and the weretigers,” Kayla said.
That could be a good idea. But I want to see if there’s any better idea.
“If the master is a tamer, then there’s nothing we can do. Except for following this bird until it returns to its master. But that will be hard to do. Maybe the master will tell the bird to not return directly if the bird sensed that someone is following. Or maybe the bird will lead us to a trap and ambush us,” I said.
“First thing first is to see if this bird can talk or not. I know some species of bird, even if they are not monster, can speak human language. It’s mostly just copying the sound that human made. But if this bird is just a bit smarter than those bird, this bird might be able to speak. So what should we do?” Victoria asked.
Yeah, that’s right. There are some species of bird that can talk even though they are not monster. Maybe this bird is one of them. Let’s check if this bird can speak or not.
“Oh, how about you used calming gas or something to trick its master if we can’t find out anything here? If the bird is calm, the master will think that the bird is safe. If the master is a summoner, that person will lower his/her guard and open a portal without expecting us to waiting for ambush. If that person is a tamer, then the bird will be told to return. If you fly with the bird and make the bird feel calm the whole time on the road, you can ambush the enemy. Other than that, I have no other idea,” Candy suggested.
“Yeah, that would be nice. Let’s wake the bird up first,” I said.
With a ranch I found, I tapped on the bird to wake it up. The bird woke up and feel agitated seeing the situation.
“Don’t worry, I won’t cook you anymore. And now that we’re in the Magicless Area, you can’t use magic anymore. So anything you do will be useless in this small cage,” I said.
“Wait, Roy! What if that bird is a beastform mage?” Kayla asked.
“Don’t worry. Beastform mage, after entering this Magicless Area, will return to their original form since their other form is made from magic. So this one is genuinely a monster,” I said.
Unless there’s something I don’t know. Like maybe this one is a beastform at the stage beyond master level. Though I doubt it.
“So, right now, you are free from your master. Tell me everything you know,” I said.
“Chirp! Chirp!”
“You can’t talk? How about one chirp for a yes, and two chirps for a no? Can you do it?” I asked.
“Chirp!”
“Also to make it seems like we’re close friend, how about you you said ‘Chirp, Bro!’ whenever you answer?” I suggested.
“...Chirp chirp?”
“Oh, that was just a test to see if you really can’t speak or not. Anyway, we know that you can at least reply with a yes or no. We will ask you a lot of questions so answer them honestly,” I said.
The bird can at least reply with a yes or no. But if the bird is lying, I won’t be able to tell. So I didn’t tell the bird that I will use the bird as a bait later.
...Maybe I should bring Albert here. But can he tell which chirp is true and which chirp is false?
“Kayla, wait here. Candy and I will go out for a bit,” I said.
“You want to bring Albert? Sure,” Kayla said.
Since Albert’s lie detection is not really magic, I think that he can use it here.
