"Grandpas and grandmas, uncles and elders, I'll be going now. See you in the capital!" With Little Bell on her back, Freya greeted everyone and soared into the sky in a certain direction.
“This girl is still so impulsive. It’s much better to travel by boat. Let’s set off!” the old man leading the group said with a smile.
"I just don't know if she will accept this engagement."
"Let them handle their own affairs. Freya is so outstanding, it's safer for her to stay at home."
"That's what I think too."
The group laughed, except for the young people who had just come out, who still looked excited.
Soon, a small magical airship appeared, carrying dozens of people, and headed towards the capital.
In a cave deep in the mountains, Freya set up numerous concealment magic arrays and added several reconnaissance arrays until Luo Fan was satisfied, at which point she stopped what she was doing.
"Give me those scraps first. The longer you wait, the more energy will be released from them. You big families have no idea how precious these things are."
"No, you have to help me first. Besides, are you really planning to absorb those messy runes? Won't it have some negative effects?" Freya was cunning and still refused to let go.
Luo Fan had already begged several times along the way.
"That's none of your business, just give it to me first. Besides, I already know the location of the glitter's magic core, so your matter won't take long."
"Are you sure? Little Bell, let's see if he's lying!"
The girl on the side covered her mouth and kept laughing, but didn't say anything. Luo Fan had already warned her not to speak easily.
"Hehe, Little Bell is working for me now. By the way, here, take a look at this carefully, it should be useful to you." With that, Luo Fan took out the Soul-Suppressing Bell lying deep inside the ring and placed it in Little Bell's hand.
"This is a replica of the Soul-Suppressing Bell. How did you come to have something like this?" Freya lost interest after looking at it once.
This thing is good for bullying low-level magical beasts, but it's not very useful. It's quite rare, though some beast-taming families will try to copy it.
After Xiaoling'er took it, she shook it twice, and the crisp sound of the bell quickly won the girl's heart.
"Brother Fan, I really like this gift. It can even help me stabilize my magic power."
"That's fine. Use it secretly whenever you have time. This thing does have some effect on other magical beasts."
"Hmm~"
This bastard has won over Little Bell so quickly, and now he's even giving her gifts. Freya was speechless. She had lived with Little Bell for over ten years before they became friends.
Humans compared to beasts are infuriating.
Never mind, business is more important. With the inscription, my chances of breaking through level 70 are much greater, and perhaps I can even break through to the next level.
"Here you go, stop teasing Xiaoling'er, we still have a long way to go." Without insisting any further, Freya tossed over a bag, and Luo Fan quickly took out the inscriptions inside and swallowed them.
"That's more like it."
After a quick adjustment, he finally stood on the Thunderbird.
He had no experience with such magical beasts, and could only communicate with them through Freya's guidance.
Luo Fan didn't bother to have any in-depth conversations with this not-so-intelligent pet, since it was even more wary than Xuanwu.
With practiced ease, the Thunderstorm rune was quickly implanted into the Thunderbird's body, near its magic core.
Luo Fan himself was paralyzed by the electric shock, making his movements clumsy. Fortunately, having already experienced several electric shocks, he managed to complete the transfer. Now it was up to Thunderbird to react.
At this moment, the Thunderbird, its head drooping on Freya's body, was frantically absorbing the energy that had suddenly appeared near the magic core, as its master had instructed.
Sure enough, due to the attraction of attributes, the inscription was slowly moving towards the magic core and attaching itself.
Sigh, the purity of the Thunder Bird's lightning attribute magic core is still not high enough!
"Freya, quickly feed it lightning-type spiritual materials, the more the better!"
The girl, who quickly realized what was happening, pulled out a lot of good stuff and stuffed it into the Thunderbird's mouth, some of which she even broke into several pieces, her actions quite violent.
At this moment, the Thunderbirds were experiencing both pain and pleasure!
With a surge of energy replenishment, the inscriptions attached much faster, but there was still no sign of them reorganizing.
Finally, completely attached, the fragile parts of the inscription were repaired, and it finally merged with the Thunderbird's magic core.
Luo Fan could clearly feel that the Thunderbird's magic core had shrunk a bit and become more compact.
"Luo Fan, what's wrong with my Shining? Why is its level dropping!" Freya was extremely anxious, not expecting such a change to happen.
"Oh, your pet~"
"What's wrong with it? Tell me quickly!" Freya almost burst into tears.
"It's about to take off! Let's feed it this magic core too; it should help stabilize its level." He took out the remaining high-level lightning magic core and handed it to her.
"Huh, what do you mean?" Freya stuffed it directly into the pet's mouth.
"Sister, Shanshan is about to change, we need to stand further away," Xiaoling explained, pulling her back.
"Listen to her. I don't know what will happen next, but at least the direction should be good." Luo Fan took one last look, retracted his tentacles, and jumped into Xiao Ling'er's arms.
Instantly, the energy-concentrated thunderbird emitted a series of screeching cries, its feathers continuously falling off, and its body still expanding. The lightning element gathered around it crackled incessantly, giving Luo Fan the illusion of fried chicken, only without any aroma, which was a pity.
I wonder if the fried chicken with electric sparks will have that numbing sensation? Sprinkling some Sichuan peppercorns on it would probably be nice.
"Is it really alright?" Freya looked over there with great concern, sensing that her pet was experiencing immense pain.
"Don't worry, it won't be a Thunderbird anymore; it should be called a Thunderstorm Bird more accurately. If it were of higher quality, it probably wouldn't be suffering like it is now."
Knowing that her pet was showing positive changes, Freya finally felt relieved, but she still held Little Bell nervously.
Its body had swelled up by more than half, and a large, molting bird appeared before them. It was quite ugly and could be roasted and eaten directly.
Immediately afterwards, a large number of feathers grew out one after another, and in no time, a thunderbird that looked even more majestic and powerful appeared before us, and even its aura was much stronger than before.
The deep yellow feathers even emitted thunderous sounds.
Following that, Freya, having received the feedback, also entered into meditation.
This surge of magical energy should be enough for her to break through her current level. Looking at the girl, Luo Fan noticed that the Thunderbird had actually moved closer, protecting Freya with its wings, and even gently nodding its head a few times towards Little Bell.
The stupid bird had actually become smart and was so protective of its master that Luo Fan was somewhat envious.
Fine, from now on Freya will be my flying mount. This is perfect!
After an unknown amount of time, Freya's aura underwent a dramatic change, and the Thunderbird stabilized everything. Finally, the leaping lightning elements gradually subsided, and Freya broke through to the new realm of Archmage.
As for the Thunderbird, its level has not changed significantly, remaining at level 68, but its power has increased by several levels compared to before.
The added spiritual materials compensated for its lack of quality, allowing it to turn misfortune into blessing and regain its vitality.
The inscription's enhancement is indeed very powerful.
I wonder how old Freya really is. It must be rare to see a mage so young.
