Chapter 164: Coincidence and Boldness
After half a ring, Richard walked to the deck.
In the night, it was pitch black on the deck, and many people gathered, but no wizard appeared. Everyone whispered, obviously a little puzzled.
"Where's the wizard?"
"yes, where's the wizard?"
"Didn't the wizard tell us to come to the deck?"
"It's not going to be the same as last time, suddenly playing missing, right?"
"But what the hell is going on this time, I should explain it first, right?"
"It's ......"
Richard listened to the words of the crowd and was also a little puzzled, and at this moment, a voice resounded throughout the deck.
I couldn't see where the person who was speaking, but I could hear the voice clearly—the voice of the wizard Demps.
"I'm Demps, and I'm letting you know that there's a second test going tonight. Well, the second test, but don't be nervous, it's an informal test. As long as you are careful, you will not be eliminated, on the contrary, there will be a lot of gains. Now, look up. ”
When everyone heard this, they raised their heads one after another.
"Optimistic. Temples said.
I saw that in the middle of the night, more than ten meters above the deck of the giant ship, a golden ball of light with a diameter of half a meter suddenly appeared, like a sun.
With a "bang", the "sun" exploded, turning into thousands of points of light, floating down from mid-air, like a sea of stars, and like a swarm of fireflies gathering, enveloping the entire giant ship.
"It's so beautiful!" Some students couldn't help but exclaim, and in the exclamation, a black image was attracted, and suddenly rushed into the area shrouded in light.
If you look closely, you can see that it is a bird the size of a seagull, covered with colorful feathers, flying quickly over the area covered by the light, like a hungry thirst, constantly devouring the light.
One appeared, followed by a second, a third, a fourth...... Finally, dozens, hundreds, of the same birds appeared, flying over the area shrouded in light, devouring the points of light.
The crowd went from amazement to amazement, and then from surprise to vigilance.
Because everyone found that although this bird has a beautiful appearance, its attack power is not weak. A few birds hit the sail in order to devour the light, and the sharp beak directly broke a large hole in the sturdy sail. If it hits a person, even if it won't penetrate, it's a blood hole, so you have to be vigilant.
At this moment, Demps's words rang out again.
"The bird you see now is called the 'Griffin Rainbow Bird', and it is a lowly demonic creature, which is nocturnal and likes light, and it is easy to attract one or two by the lights of the nocturnal sea boats, and if a large area of light is created as it is now, then it may attract hundreds.
Of course, it wasn't always successful, and this time it was because I happened to encounter a flock of 'Griffin Colorful Birds' circling nearby, which attracted so many.
This is considered your luck.
You must know that the 'Griffin Rainbow Bird' is a very valuable creature, their feathers can be used as spell casting materials for many spells, flesh and blood can be used to make potions, and bones and internal organs can be crushed into powder and can be used to raise some special animals and plants.
The most valuable are their feathers, which are purchased at a high price in the White Rock Tower.
This time, it is said that informal tests exist precisely because of their existence.
I will create conditions for you to find a way to capture them, get the materials on them, and wait until the White Stone Tower sells them to those in need, and get a certain amount of payment to help you improve your life.
Of course, the Griffin Rainbow Bird is aggressive, but it's much safer than the pirates you've encountered before. Therefore, as long as you shoot carefully and grab one, you can benefit a lot. Okay, that's it, you can do it. ”
After Demps finished speaking, almost everyone looked at the so-called "Griffin Colorful Bird" with fiery eyes. In the past, not everyone was satisfied with the search for the pirate ship, but now looking at the "Griffin Colorful Bird", I finally feel that there is a way to compensate.
According to Demps, catching a bird can benefit a lot, so wouldn't it be rich to catch a few more?
The next moment, I don't know who took the lead, everyone started to attack, and the deck suddenly became lively.
Richard squinted his eyes in the crowd, looked at the so-called "Griffin Colorful Bird" thoughtfully, and couldn't help but guess in his heart:
Could this 'Griffin Rainbow Bird' be the raw material recorded on the parchment - "Rainbow Bird"?
Possibly, quite possibly.
Considering that One-Eye did not have much contact with the wizarding world, it is likely that the name "Rainbow Bird" was made up by himself, and the truly generic name was "Griffin Colorful Bird" as Temples said. Demps also said that the flesh and blood of this bird can be used to make potions, which is exactly the same.
But isn't this too much of a coincidence?
Although according to the calculation of probability, on the premise that he found that he lacked the blood of the "Griffin Colorful Bird", he was notified to participate in an informal test the next moment, and the content of the test was to kill the attracted "Griffin Colorful Bird" It is completely reasonable.
After all, the Griffin Bird is diurnal and nocturnal, and it is easy to be attracted by the light, so it must be that One-Eye obtained the blood of the "Griffin Colorful Bird" and then made the potion.
Everything can logically explain the past.
But then again, even if you explain things in the past with logic, sometimes it still doesn't make sense.
For example, if a coin is tossed nine times in a row, the probability of being heads will be 1 in 2 when it is tossed 10 times. But the tenth time it really throws heads, it always feels unscientific, even if it is obviously scientific from a probabilistic point of view.
If the number of coin tosses is expanded to nineteen, twenty-nine, ninety-nine, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine, and the premise of constantly tossing heads in the front is still heads, this oddity will be even more obvious.
From a certain point of view, this phenomenon can be seen as a coincidence, or rather as a drama.
Just like the plot that is often deliberately set up, and the "coincidence" that is constantly told in modern earth life.
The current situation can be explained by logic, probability and science, but Richard always felt that something was slightly wrong, a little ...... Blunt.
But Richard didn't continue to think about it, because the time was not yet ripe, or he didn't want to venture too far into an unknown territory without reaching a certain height, so as not to be trapped in it and unable to extricate himself.
It's still a step at a time.
"First of all, let's make sure that the 'Griffin Rainbow Bird' and the 'Rainbow Bird' on the parchment are the same thing. If not, then it's really a bit of a thought. Richard muttered to himself.
Looking up at the "Griffin Colorful Bird" in mid-air, he was thinking about how to make a move, when he suddenly heard a voice behind him: "Hey, do you want to borrow my sword?"
"Huh?"
