Chapter 169: Fragrant Butterfly and Wind Moth

Twin Towers, Silkworm House.

At this time, the cocoons hanging on the mulberry wood rack had changed their appearance. One grew to half a meter in height, and the other nearly three meters, becoming particularly conspicuous in the room.
"Mumble."

The Queen of Silkworms complained to Ivan that due to the influence of two swift wood silkworms that were undergoing metamorphosis, all the mulberry wood in the room had dried up.

These are not ordinary mulberry woods. They have not completely rotted after drying up, otherwise the frame would definitely not be able to support itself and would collapse.

"I know. Someone will send another batch over later."

Ivan said soothingly. He found that the Queen Silkworm was really generous. She was not worried about the safety of her offspring at all. Instead, she was more active than usual and faintly excited.

Thinking about how the Silkworm Queen didn't care about the death of the Swift Wood Silkworm in the past, and that it was not difficult to split one out, Ivan felt relieved. Insects should pay more attention to the strength of the whole, and the life and death of individuals may not be that important.

This is probably swarm thinking.

After a while, new changes occurred in the silkworm house. A large amount of energy particles were drawn over and swirled around the half-meter-high cocoon. He could see clearly that most of these particles were of plant type.

"It's strange. Why is the Swift Wood Silkworm absorbing so many energy particles during its transformation? It wasn't like this last time."

Ivan waved his hand, and a dozen streams of green mulberry water floated over, turning into light green mist that enveloped the cocoon and was completely absorbed in a few seconds.

Without bothering to think about the reason, he fetched more Qingmulberry Water, which was turned into mist for the silkworm cocoons to absorb. After the Qingmulberry Water ran out, he replaced it with plant elemental stones.

Fortunately, he had recently collected a batch of plant elemental stones, and he was able to feed the cocoons only after consuming most of the elemental stones.

After a while, the cocoon changed again. A tiny vine grew out of the silk that made up the cocoon, and the vine stretched out and hung down. Then, vines popped up one after another, and in the blink of an eye, the cocoon was surrounded by green vines.

"Mmm." The Queen Silkworm chirped excitedly.

"It's done." Ivan also sensed a different kind of vitality there, and the swift wood silkworms inside successfully overcame this difficulty.

When the man and the insect were wondering why the Swift Wood Silkworm was not coming out for a long time, a stream of energy was evenly sprinkled on the surrounding vines. In an instant, colorful flowers grew on the vines, and the fragrance wafted out from the flowers and filled the silkworm room.

Along with the fragrance of the flowers, the vines moved to the sides on their own, and a strange creature flew out from them.

This creature has a pair of colorful butterfly wings and a body like a delicate emerald lizard. It looks carefully at everything in the room, its eyes filled with a unique agility.

It thought for two or three seconds, and suddenly shouted to the Silkworm Queen and Ivan: "Mother, Father."

The accent is a bit strange, but the words are clear and the meaning is distinct.

There was a moment of silence in the silkworm house.

"Mumble."

The Queen Silkworm spoke up, breaking the silence. She responded with a word, then turned her head and looked at Ivan aggrievedly.

Just as Ivan joked before, the first intelligent creature among the descendants was born, one step behind the silkworm, which made it feel extremely aggrieved, even though it was there at the time.

Although the Queen Silkworm has a certain degree of intelligence, it has not formed a complete spiritual intelligence and cannot speak. It can only express simple meanings. According to the classification, it cannot be called an intelligent creature.

"Ahem, just call me Wizard Ivan." Ivan waved at it, and the little creature flew to him obediently. It had a light body, and its butterfly wings were taller than its body, about thirty-five or thirty-six centimeters tall.

It did not show any resistance to Ivan's investigation.

“It has indeed changed.”

Originally, after the Swift Wood Silkworm became a first-level creature, the spring buds in its body transformed into seeds of life that matched them. Now, the seeds of life in its body have actually transformed into something similar to an elemental core.

In other words, its life energy was transformed into elemental power, which was equivalent to transforming from a knight into a mage.

Ivan was completely confused by this strange change.

After some tests, Ivan found that the little guy was very smart and made rapid progress in learning languages. Among humans, he would be a language genius.

Three days later, another cocoon broke open.

The creature that this swift wood silkworm transformed into was not as graceful as the previous one. It knocked a hole in the cocoon, causing the mulberry wood frame to fall to the ground, and struggled to climb out.

This is also a strange creature, with two pairs of gray moth wings, and a green snake-like body in the middle, which is three meters long. It is also an intelligent creature and can speak.

Seeing this, the Queen Silkworm felt even more aggrieved, but fortunately the two creatures liked to be around it, so its grievance came and went quickly.

Ivan did a simple test first and found that it was not as smart as the previous one, and its IQ was just average.

"From now on, you will be 'Fragrant Butterfly' and you will be 'Wind Moth', is that ok?" Ivan said, pointing at the emerald lizard with butterfly wings, and then gestured to the green snake with moth wings.

"Xiangdie likes it."

"Wizard Ivan, shouldn't I be a snake?"

"No, you are just a moth. Do you want to rebel against the Swiftwood Silkworm Clan?"

"No, no - OK, I'll be called Feng Moth from now on."

Faced with several pairs of aggressive eyes, the green snake could only accept this somewhat unsatisfactory name.

In the small testing ground inside the Twin Towers, two new Swift Wood Silkworms completed more detailed testing.

In addition to being smart, the fragrant butterfly has abundant elemental power in its body and knows a plant spell - Spring Restoration, which has two effects: healing and plant growth.

Ivan also discovered that the fragrant butterfly has a certain ability to learn spells, limited to the plant system, but it cannot directly learn the spells of apprentices and wizards. It cannot construct spell models and can only slowly analyze them in its own way.

According to the data on the attribute panel, Xiangdie's physical data should be 6.6 in strength, 7.8 in agility, and 6.9 in constitution, which is much higher than other first-level Swift Wood Silkworms. Feng Moth: 7.5 in strength, 8.3 in agility, and 8.2 in constitution.

In terms of physical strength, the wind moth is far superior to the scent butterfly.

After testing, it was found that the wind moth can control the wind and emit a powdery poison that causes people to hallucinate. This toxin has a certain pollution effect on mental strength and is limited to apprentices.

It can also grow even larger, with its maximum length extending to about 15 meters, enough to fill the small test field, but it cannot shrink its original body any further.

Windmoth obviously inherited a lot of the power of Toins and Laer.

Strength: 6.1, Agility: 7.5, Constitution: 6.6, Spirit: 25.8
Ivan took a look at his own statistics. Compared with when he was promoted to a wizard, he had a small improvement. Compared with a butterfly and a moth, except for his mental power, he was completely defeated.

Practicing step by step is not as good as letting two swift wood silkworms transform at once. It can only be said that things in the world are unpredictable.

As he was sighing with emotion, the chirping of the queen silkworm attracted his attention.

"Mumble."

"Mother said she would show you a new ability." Xiangdie translated it first.

These days, the fragrant butterfly and the wind moth have become the Silkworm Queen's followers, and they seem like her left and right protectors.

"Let's wait and see." Of course Ivan could understand what the Silkworm Queen meant, and he was happy to listen if someone was willing to translate.

"I'll cooperate." Feng Moth stepped out first.

"Whatever." Xiangdie didn't move at all.

"Hey, Wizard Ivan, please watch carefully."

The Queen Silkworm used the 'Power to Control Crowds' to fuse three Swift Wood Silkworms, and then merged herself into the body of the Wind Moth. The next second, the Wind Moth transformed into a green dove. Perhaps due to its lack of experience, the dove's wings had a lot of gray feathers.

Ivan suddenly realized that this was another use for the power to control the crowd, and the ability of the Silkworm Queen could be further developed.

"Not bad, not bad. It seems you have been working hard these days."

"I developed it for my mother." Xiangdie added at the right time, "Also, my mother wants to go to that place before."

"No."

Ivan knew that the Silkworm Queen was referring to the cave near Lake Nichols, so he refused without thinking. This was not the first time he had vetoed.

He asked Randall about that strange place.

Randall’s answer was, you are already a wizard, so make your own decisions and there is no need to ask me.

After much thought, Ivan decided not to go there in the near future. That place was too weird and he didn't want to get stuck in it. Even though the Queen Silkworm repeatedly expressed her desire to go, he didn't agree.

……

Wizarding living quarters.

Walban was walking to his mentor's residence. On the way, he met several apprentices transporting a few carts of wood and couldn't help but take a second look.

"Boss Wallban, long time no see." Someone recognized him and greeted him from afar.

"Bane, are you going to help others build houses?" It is very rare to send such things in the academy, so Walban asked casually.

"This is Sangmu. There is a mission issued by a wizard named 'Ivan' that needs to be delivered to the twin towers over there." Bane hesitated and stated the purpose of their trip.

Who?
Walban was stunned, this name was not unfamiliar to him.

"Boss Walban, we're leaving first."

"Row."

Watching the convoy go away, Walban counted the wizards he knew, and there was not one with this name.

After a while, he walked into a spire and met his mentor Andaya.

"Teacher, Ivan may have become a formal wizard."

"The apprentice with third-class talent, from the enchantment group?"

"Yes, there is a wizard with this name who issued a quest. I don't think it's someone with the same name."

After hearing what Walban said, Andaya had no idea which wizard had this name, so she immediately asked someone through the secret mark.

Andaya was not only a wizard, but also one of the deacons of the hunting team. It was easy for him to find out any information, and he quickly confirmed the authenticity of the news.

"The news is true." Andaya was silent for a long time, then said, "It was more than 20 days ago."

"Ivan is indeed a talented and capable person."

Walban said in a complicated tone. He suddenly remembered that his mentor said to patiently wait for Ivan. At that time, he thought that the other party might not need much time, and it turned out to be true.

No, it was faster than he expected.

Wizard Ivan has always been an unexpected person, and the mentor has undoubtedly miscalculated this time.

Walban couldn't help but feel a sense of urgency. Even people who entered school much later than him had become wizards. He couldn't fall too far behind, as his talent was not bad either.
