With Sisi's explanation, Xu Ling learned about the differences in Warcraft once again.
In short, as times progress, so do magical energy and magical beasts. This "progress" doesn't mean that magical beasts are harder to deal with, but rather that over time, they have gradually adapted to the existing environment.
Previously, the Thunderbird was a magical beast, which indeed implied ferocity and brutality. But times have changed, and the current Thunderbird has long since toned down its beastly nature. Compared to ordinary animals, it is simply more aggressive and intelligent.
Simply put, it's survival of the fittest. Most monsters have adapted to this world and are basically able to "coexist peacefully" with the creatures of this world.
Xu Ling understood, but there was still one problem...
"Since magical beasts are only slightly more aggressive than ordinary animals, why did Bishop Miller even have you search for magical energy? Isn't that redundant?"
“You’re right to think that way!” Sisi agreed. “However, there is still a difference between magical beasts and magical energy!” she emphasized.
Xu Ling asked, puzzled, "How is it different?"
"To put it simply, although demonic energy is the main cause of magical beasts, it doesn't mean that demonic energy has become as adapted to this world as magical beasts!"
“But didn’t you just say that demonic energy is progressing just like magical beasts?” Xu Ling immediately returned what Qianqian had just said to her.
“Yes, it is ‘progressing’!” Sisi did not deny it. “But the direction of the ‘progress’ of demonic energy is completely different from that of magical beasts! After all, magical beasts are living and intelligent beings, so when they realize that being completely controlled by their animalistic instincts is not conducive to their survival, they will make changes. But demonic energy is different!”
"After so many years of research, it turns out to be a lifeless thing with only one desire: to invade any living creature. Moreover, as time goes by, the demonic energy is not only more difficult to deal with than before, but also more insidious."
There's something else Sisi didn't mention: for them, getting a little bit of demonic energy is just a bit of a hassle, but for ordinary people, getting even a tiny bit of demonic energy means a terrible disaster.
This is why, especially for church students, they go out to gain experience.
but·····
To be honest, they hadn't gone very far; they had practically stayed within the academy's territory. Within the academy's territory, people were sent to patrol daily to ensure the safety of the area.
"So there's no way there could be any demonic energy here, and I don't understand why the bishop made us search for it! Isn't this just making things difficult for us?" Thinking about how they had searched for even the slightest bit of demonic energy all day long, practically digging three feet into the ground, but still found nothing, Sisi couldn't help but feel resentful.
“Yes! Yes!” April, who hadn’t said a word until now, couldn’t help but nod in agreement.
She had a terrible day too! She was a witch, and her knowledge and skills were completely unrelated to the church's system, yet she was inexplicably forced to follow Sisi and the others to find demonic energy!
Isn't this asking the impossible?!
God knows how devastated Bishop Miller was when she assigned this task indiscriminately!
However, faced with Bishop Miller's cold face, she dared not speak!
Honestly, I'd rather go farm with Xu Ling!
Although they hadn't learned farming, they had at least taken planting classes, so there shouldn't be much difference!
"I envy you!" April exclaimed enviously, thinking of Xu Ling's carefree life. "Lingling, you have no idea how disastrous this whole day is for a witch!"
Xu Ling: ······
Who knows her suffering?
But in front of April and Sissi, she couldn't bring herself to complain. After all, she looked much better than the two of them, who both looked utterly hopeless!
Xu Ling couldn't help but think of a way to change the subject, but at this moment, Qianqian seemed to have thought of something and looked around.
Not seeing what she wanted to see, she frowned and said, "By the way, where did the giant wolf go? And what about Kaopu and Abao?"
Yeah! Where's Fei'er?! And what about Kaopu and Abao?!
Xu Ling was then surprised to realize that there were only the three of them in the room.
It makes sense that Fei'er isn't here. Although he may look like a giant wolf to them, he is, in fact, a grown man, and he certainly wouldn't feel comfortable in a room full of girls.
That's why Fei'er would leave the room whenever she had the chance.
It's one thing if Fei'er isn't here, but where have Kaopu and Abao, who usually stay obediently by their side, gone?
Xu Ling tried hard to recall where Kaopu had gone on the way back. However, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't remember Kaopu.
Did the reliable one run away before this happened?
"I saw it!" Before Xu Ling could finish thinking, April answered their questions, "I saw Kaopu come to find Abao, and then Abao told me and followed him!"
“Hmm—right, it seems… Fair went with them too.” April said somewhat uncertainly, although she did see a flash of silver-white light out of the corner of her eye when Abao left with Kaopu.
Hearing this, Xu Ling felt relieved, but... she frowned and asked April, "April, did Abao say what they were going to do?"
“No,” April shook her head, looking helpless. “Abao only said he had something to do with Kaopu, and before I could ask what it was about, he ran off.”
All right!
Xu Ling reluctantly accepted the answer, but couldn't help wondering: what exactly did the three of them do?
