Chapter 568 The Mage Association
After entering Green Tree City, Lin Tian and his companion did not wander around the city. Instead, they went straight to the Mage Association within Green Tree City.
The Dharma Masters Association, officially named the Dharma Masters Mutual Assistance and Joint Research and Progress Association, is not an official organization, but rather a self-organized group of Dharma Masters from the community.
As the mage organization second only to the Arcane Academy in status, the Mage Association's presence is felt throughout the continent. Except for a few special countries like Gear Kingdom, their traces can be seen in almost every country.
As the hometown of mages, Mi'anli has a branch of the Mage Association in almost every major city.
Green Tree City, a place with a large flow of people, is no exception.
Lin Tian looked at the building designed based on a mage's hat with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, and soon led his childhood friend with bulging eyes inside.
The primary function of the Mage Guild is to facilitate communication and exchange among mages of all ranks, allowing them to learn from each other and improve their skills. In addition, they also sell potions and magical items, and even accept commissions.
You could say this is an adventurer's guild designed specifically for mages.
Upon entering, Lin Tian saw several people dressed as mages talking inside. When they saw Lin Tian come in, they only glanced at him and continued chatting.
Lin Tian walked to the front desk and, in response to the receptionist's inquiry, said:
"My friend has a low IQ, can you help him get treatment?"
"Low IQ?"
The staff took a look and found that this guy was indeed a bit slow-witted.
However, their Mage Association didn't have anything that could improve other people's intelligence, so after hearing this, the staff thought Lin Tian was there to cause trouble and were about to have them removed.
Only then did Lin Tian wave his hand and reveal his true purpose:
"I went to the Forest of Titia a couple of days ago and found a special monster. I checked the monster encyclopedia provided by the Adventurers' Guild, but I didn't see this monster."
"You're all very knowledgeable, could you help me take a look?"
"You brought the monster here?"
The staff were somewhat puzzled. Mages and extraordinary individuals were generally knowledgeable and experienced, and many people did come to them for appraisals on a regular basis, but appraising monsters was quite rare.
The staff were more curious whether they had brought the monster by hand.
So fierce?
Faced with the staff's puzzled looks, Lin Tian snapped his fingers, and the bulging-eyed boy behind him instantly sprang to life.
Gu~Gua~
With a low croak, the bulging-eyed man's cheeks swelled up rapidly, and his chin bulged out like a sac, making him look like a large frog, which was quite bizarre.
"Hey! What are you doing?!"
This scene instantly startled everyone present. Seeing the strange appearance of the bulging-eyed man, they thought he was a monster disguised as a human, preparing to launch an attack.
So they all pulled out their staffs, and some of them were so excited that they were even ready to cast spells.
"Stop! Stop! Stop!!! This is his family's secret technique; he has no intention of attacking!"
Seeing that they had been misunderstood, Lin Tian quickly called a halt. After some persuasion from the thugs, everyone finally slowly put down their staffs.
It's not their fault; after all, their bulging eyes are just too bizarre.
This world has many special secret techniques, so no one doubted Lin Tian's words.
Glug~ Croak~ Glug~
After the atmosphere became less tense, the bulging-eyed man moved again. With a wriggling of his swollen scrotum, accompanied by a croaking sound, a dark shadow was instantly spat out by the bulging-eyed man.
Boom! ! !
Along with the dark figure emerged a large puddle of saliva emitting a strange odor, causing everyone present to turn pale upon smelling it.
Of course, that's not the main event. The most crucial thing is what the bulging-eyed man spat out.
It was a somewhat shrunken humanoid creature, its entire body covered in rotting tumors and pustules, thick saliva mixed with its decaying flesh, displayed before everyone.
Upon seeing this, everyone felt their stomachs churning and they felt nauseous.
"You...you swallowed this guy whole?!"
After a while, one of the male mages calmed down and looked at Lin Tian and the bulging-eyed man with a look of surprise and suspicion.
"Of course, their family's secret technique is used for this..."
Of course... no... if he had really held it in his mouth for that long, his body would have turned to dust long ago! He took the rotting corpse out of his bag after entering the city and stuffed it into the bulging-eyed man's mouth.
However, in just this short time, the rotting corpse had become riddled with wounds and was only breathing its last few breaths. It didn't even have the strength to get up and attack them.
"Let's not talk about that anymore. Take a look, have we seen this before?"
Since Lin Tian had applied for the commission from the Mage Association, they naturally couldn't just ignore it because they were disgusted. After calming down, they also began to study the rotting corpse.
This research lasted for several hours, almost putting Lin Tian to sleep. As it was getting dark, Lin Tian pondered for a while and asked a newly emerged mage:
"Excuse me for bothering you, it's getting dark. Have you figured out where that thing came from?"
"No."
“Your thing is very complicated. What we can confirm right now is that it does not belong to a naturally growing creature, but rather to some kind of magic or special creation.”
"We've confirmed the strange features on your body. This thing you call the corruption virus is currently more likely a special curse, and a highly contagious one at that, with a very high degree of harm."
"Currently, there aren't many mages in the Mage Association who specialize in spellcasting, so it will take some effort to fully study it."
"We have already reported to our superiors, and the research progress should not be too slow."
"If you can't wait, you can go back and rest first. Once the research is completed, if it is confirmed that this is some kind of harmful, spreading curse, we will apply to the higher-ups for a reward for you."
"After all, this is a matter that endangers public safety, so we will waive the commission fee for you."
"Speaking of which, you came from the Forest of Titia..."
"Anto".
Before the monk could finish speaking, a curly-haired man suddenly called out to him.
"The lab is really busy, we need to get there and help soon..."
After saying that, the curly-haired man gave Lin Tian a strange look.
This guy...
Seeing his companion calling him, Anto stopped chatting with Lin Tian and told him he could come back tomorrow. Then he and the man named Anto headed back toward the laboratory.
