Chris was still cutting off the fangs of the small fangs. He didn't even let go of the small fangs that had been burnt to a crisp.
After Marina comforted Akio, she had been paying attention to what Chris was doing. She asked, "What's the use of those teeth?"
"Nothing." Chris replied, "But they're worth money."
Chris's words were still short, which made Marina puzzled.
Lulunaka took the initiative to explain to Marina what Chris didn't say, "Those teeth can be exchanged for money in the strongholds of those underground groups, although it's not a lot.
If it's a group member, it can be exchanged for more. "
Marina thought of the members of the underground group who had engaged in a large-scale battle with the Little Fang.
"What do they need these for?"
"Nothing."
Short Axe continued, "This is a proof. A pair of teeth means that one of the fangs is dead, but one is not enough … Of course, if you gather two teeth that are not the same fangs, this can also be counted as one fangs."
"I'm afraid they also use this as a result of their work and want to report it to others." Marina said.
"You're very smart, miss."
Short Axe smiled, "The underground group relies on this to make a living, so of course they will use it to gain some benefits … Not just the Little Fang, as long as it's a part of the body of a harmful creature in the underground, perhaps it can be exchanged for money."
At this time, Lulunaka interrupted, "Actually, the teeth of these Little Fang have some uses.
This thing can be ground into bone powder, and as a powder, the quality is quite good. It can be used in many places, such as ships, cannons, and so on. "
Marina loved Short Axe. They knew that Lulunaka was an inexperienced pharmacist. Although her skills were not good, if it was only in terms of theoretical knowledge, they recognized it.
"I forgot about this."
Short Axe patted his bald head. This action made Lulunaka stare at his head for a long time, but he didn't notice.
There was nothing strange about Short Axe's action, but Lulunaka stared at him with interest for a while, because his scalp was indeed a little … too smooth and shiny, and it had a bronze luster.
"These teeth can indeed be ground into bone powder, but it's not necessary."
Short Axe said, "There are many materials that can be substituted. If there's anything special about the bone powder made from the small fangs, it's probably … other than being exchanged for money, it won't be disposed of like garbage."
"Yes, use everything that can be used."
Lulunaka nodded. "Especially for poor pharmacists like me who don't have many materials, I'll use whatever I can."
"I can't give this to you."
Short Axe said, "These are the small fangs that we knocked down — — other than you, anyone else can take them, but not you"
"Yes, I know." Lulunaka's voice sounded downcast.
Marina frowned. "Aren't you being a little harsh?"
"Because she didn't put in any effort, of course she can't get it."
Short Axe replied, "This has nothing to do with discrimination. Whoever puts in the effort will get these."
Having said that, he waved at Chris, who threw a few pairs of fangs at him, and then he threw them at Marina.
Marina took those things, the fangs still had mucus on them, which was probably the saliva of the small fangs.
"If any of you are injured and need the little girl to treat you, you can share some with her, but no one is injured right now," Short Axe continued.
"And these are what you deserve. As for whether you want to exchange them for money or use them for other purposes, I'm not interested."
Marina felt that her hand had become sticky, and there were traces of blood in the mucus, which made it even more disgusting to touch.
However, Marina was not a spoiled rich girl. As a wandering mage, she had encountered much more disgusting things, and she was the one who took the initiative to touch them.
However, it was a little disgusting to hold these things in her hand, and she did not need them.
She handed the fangs to Lulunaka. "If you want, these are all for you."
Lulunaka widened her eyes, which were shining. "Can I?"
Marina smiled and nodded her head.
Lulunaka took the fangs, wiped them with her cloak, and put them in the small bag hanging from her waist. "Thank you, Marina."
Marina just smiled, and did not take the gift of the fangs too seriously.
These small fangs were definitely not worth much. If she cared about this little bit of money, she probably would not have hired mercenaries like Short Axe and Chris.
Of course, Short Axe saw Marina's action, but he just shrugged. "What you want to do with your spoils is your own business. I have no right to say anything."
"Thank you for your consideration." Marina said to Short Axe behind her.
Short Axe did not reply, and picked up the torch on the ground. "We should move on.
You better pay more attention to your surroundings, and don't treat this as an outing.
I can save you once, but it doesn't mean I can save you a second time. If it's the small fangs, it won't be too bad, but if it's something else … "
Short Axe did not continue, and there was no need for him to say the rest. He thought that the three people in front of him should have understood, after all, they had just experienced a frightening but not dangerous battle.
The battle was over, and the team moved on again.
Iqbal and Short Axe picked up their torches, and Chris walked in front, disappearing into the darkness. Marina and Lulunaka were still walking in the middle of the team.
This spacious passage seemed to have no end. They had been walking for a long time, but there was no exit.
There were pipes on both sides of the passage that seemed to be accessible, but if you looked closely, you would find that they were blocked by large stones, and it seemed that it was not possible to move them.
In this dark place, only their little torches moved forward, like fireflies in the night.
No one let down their guard. The small fangs had made Iqbal a little nervous, but Short Axe and Chris did not let down their guard.
The team moved forward in silence. At this time, only Lulunaka spoke to Marina. "Marina, you're a mage, right?"
"Of course I'm a mage," Marina replied.
Marina replied. She didn't think that Lurunaka hadn't figured out what was going on after seeing those little fangs burning. She should have clearly heard the sound of her chanting, although it didn't sound like a spell.
"I thought that a mage would need more time to prepare when using spells, but you ignited those small fangs so easily," Lulunaka said, her face full of admiration, her eyes shining like gems.
For people who did not understand magic, what Marina had just done was indeed enough to surprise them.
Marina did not intend to be mysterious or mystifying. She said to Lulunaka, "Spells are not that complicated … That's not right, I just made the complicated process simple."
She touched the magic book at her waist. "With this magic book, as long as I have enough preparation, then I can use spells as quickly as I did just now.
Of course, if I don't have the magic book, I can still use spells, but it will be more troublesome and not suitable for combat. "
This was not a secret that could not be told to others. Marina told these things about mages to Lulunaka.
For a mage like her, there were many things that could be regarded as secrets, but what she said now was not one of them.
If there was something that was both secret and fatal, it would be the real name of a mage, the magic book that belonged only to one's own, and the mystery of magic. These were the things that could not be mentioned to others: perhaps it was the magic pattern that was unique to oneself, or a life-saving tool.
Scrolls with forbidden spells, the phylactery of a lich, one-time life-saving jewels … These things were extremely important and very rare.
Marina, on the other hand, just picked some things that would not be important to tell to others and told them to Lulunaka.
Lulunaka listened with great interest, as if she was listening to a story, which made Marina feel more relieved.
The two of them were in the group, following Eco in front of them, whispering to each other.
There were some things that Marina did not let Lulunaka know, and Lulunaka did not tell Marina about some things.
The things that Lulunaka knew could not be told to Marina. If she told her, the kind female mage would not be so nice to her, or at least be wary of her.
As for what it was, if there was one thing that could be said, it would probably be … Marina's magic book, in fact, did not belong to her.
