Chapter 34 Mutant Six-Eyed Raven, Bahamut
The moment the rune touched the fledgling's body, it trembled slightly, but did not resist.
It instinctively sensed the harmless warmth and protective intent emanating from Rolin's spirit.
The contract rune successfully entered its body.
In an instant, a spiritual connection, countless times clearer and stronger than before, was established between Rolin and the fledgling.
He can not only perceive the chick's weakness and exhaustion more clearly, but also feel its longing for warmth and its innocent curiosity after birth.
At the same time, a faint energy feedback carrying the attributes of darkness and insight also flowed into Rolin's mental sea through the connection.
Although it was extremely subtle, it gave him a jolt of energy, and his senses seemed to sharpen slightly.
This is the feedback from the contracted magical pet!
Success! The equal contract has been signed!
A surge of indescribable joy and a heavy sense of responsibility welled up in Luo Lin's heart.
He carefully extended his finger and gently stroked the baby bird's damp downy feathers, conveying his message through their spiritual connection:
"Welcome... little one."
The fledgling seemed to sense his feelings, gently rubbing its beak against his fingers, conveying a sense of dependence and reassurance.
In the days that followed, Luo Lin had another new focus in his life.
Take care of this newborn mutant six-eyed crow chick.
Rowling named it Bach, for no particular reason, just because it sounded catchy.
Baha is extremely weak and needs careful care.
Rowling carefully cleaned its body with warm water and brushed its gradually drying, fluffy fur with a soft brush.
He prepared a mild medicine rich in vital energy, suitable for the chicks to absorb and digest, and fed it to Baha drop by drop.
Every day, Rolin spends a lot of time communicating with Baha through mental connection to solidify the contract and to nurture its fragile essence with his gentle mental power.
Bahamas grow much slower than ordinary birds, which is clearly related to their mutations and long periods of quiescence.
It wasn't until half a month later that it was able to stand up with difficulty and make a faint "chirping" sound.
And it wasn't until a month later that it slowly opened its first pair of eyes.
Those were eyes as pure as obsidian, yet seemingly capable of piercing through the mist.
When Bach opened his first pair of eyes, it seemed as if he had opened another window to perceive the world.
Those obsidian-like eyes could not only see the form of matter, but also vaguely capture the flow of energy and the strength of life's aura.
Even with its other two pairs of eyes still tightly closed, its perception of its surroundings far surpasses that of ordinary creatures.
Rowling quickly discovered Bach's talent.
When he practiced his spells in the stone house, Baha would quietly stay by his side, tilting his little head and watching the energy light dancing at his fingertips with his pure black eyes.
Through the mental connection, Rolin could vaguely sense the messages being transmitted by Bach.
Where energy flow is not smooth, and where the node structure seems to be more stable.
This unique perspective from an "observer" provided him with unexpected insights for optimizing his spell model.
Rowling began to consciously utilize this ability.
When drawing a simple magic circle, Bahamut will "watch" from the side.
By connecting to the perception array, one can determine whether the energy flow is harmonious.
When dealing with materials with complex energy properties, we also refer to Bach's fuzzy feedback on the internal energy stability of materials.
Although this collaboration is still in the exploratory stage, it has already shown great potential.
Bach's body is still growing slowly, but his spirit is becoming increasingly active.
It was no longer satisfied with the mild medicine prepared by Rolin and sent a craving for "more energizing" food through a spiritual connection.
Roland tried chopping the meat of some low-level monsters into extremely fine mince, mixing it with energy-rich plant juice, and feeding it to the monster.
Baha showed great interest in this, and after eating, he was noticeably more alert, and his body under the fur seemed to have become a little stronger.
A month later, with Rolin's continued mental support and ample energy, Bach's second pair of eye slits finally opened slowly.
These eyes have a dark silver hue, and when they focus on a certain point, Rolin can sense a faint sense of "see-through" through the connection, as if he can see through some simple visual disguises or energy shields.
Rowling tested it out, and Bahamut was indeed able to spot insects that used their environment to camouflage themselves more easily, and could even detect the subtle energy generated by the most basic visual concealment spell that Rowling had deliberately maintained.
The opening of those silver eyes seemed to further stimulate Bach's growth.
Its body size has obviously grown a size larger, and the originally sparse downy feathers have gradually been replaced by jet black downy feathers with a healthy sheen. Only the wing roots and the tips of the tail feathers still retain the barely noticeable gray markings.
Baha's calls also became clearer from the initial weak "cheep cheep," carrying a certain unique rhythm.
It began to try flapping its wings.
At first, it could only thrash around in the wooden box lined with soft cloth, getting dizzy and disoriented.
Lorin does not interfere, but simply conveys encouragement through connection and soothes its body with gentle energy when it is tired.
A few days later, Baha was able to fly shakily off the wooden box and glide short distances at low altitudes over the stone house.
It seems to have a natural understanding of flying, its sense of balance is getting better and better, and the number of times it stumbles and falls is rapidly decreasing.
Rowling began taking Baha on some of the less risky patrol missions with him.
He would place Baha on a specially made cushion on his shoulder, or let it rest on a nearby tree branch.
The little guy quickly adapted to this rhythm.
It uses its two pairs of open eyes to vigilantly scan its surroundings, and once it detects anything unusual or a hidden life force, it will send a warning to Rolin through a connection.
During a routine patrol, Baha suddenly pecked at Rolin's ear with its beak, while a rapid warning came through the connection.
Rowling immediately signaled the squad to stop and looked warily in the direction Baha had indicated.
A moment later, a dead leaf lizard, so well camouflaged that it almost blended into its surroundings, slowly crawled out from a pile of fallen leaves. Without prior warning, such a close encounter could very likely have resulted in injury or death.
The team members all looked at Rowling, their new crow companion, with new respect.
On another occasion, Bahamut discovered several rare Shadow Mushrooms growing in a rock crevice concealed by a faint energy field.
This mushroom is an important ingredient in the preparation of many advanced stealth and shadow-based potions.
This discovery brought Rowling considerable additional benefits.
Bahamut's presence not only increased Rowling's safety and gains during missions, but also made him rethink the role of his own abilities.
He began experimenting with combining Bahamut's insightful feedback with his own spells.
For example, when using [Acid Splash], refer to Bahamut's perception of the target's weak energy to make a more precise strike.
While maintaining the [weak energy armor], Bahamut fine-tunes the armor structure based on his observations of energy flow to improve defensive efficiency.
This cooperative and mutually beneficial model of fighting alongside magical pets allowed Rolin's overall strength to improve subtly and continuously.
Time flies, and Rowling's term at Grey Tower has entered its fifth year.
The harsh trials of the Black Forest and the nourishment from the knowledge of its relics were like two intertwined forces, constantly forging his spirit and will.
Late that night, the stone house was completely silent.
The oil lamp had long been extinguished; only the occasional distant after-sales service call from outside the window broke the silence.
Rowling sat cross-legged on the stone bed, engaging in his routine deep meditation.
Within the spiritual sea, the liquid spiritual energy continuously stirred up ripples.
The perfect level of the [Basic Meditation Method] was brought to its limit, guiding this vast spiritual power to flow slowly along a mysterious trajectory. With each cycle, the liquid spiritual power became purer, and the boundary between it and magical power began to blur.
After an unknown amount of time, when the meditation reached a certain critical point, a feeling of fullness and impending bursting suddenly came from the most concentrated core of the mind.
It seemed that some invisible barrier had been filled to its limit and could no longer hold any more.
Luo Lin suddenly opened his eyes, a glint of light flashing in the depths of his pupils.
He exhaled a long breath, which condensed into a wisp of white smoke in the cold air, lingering for a long time.
With a thought, a light blue panel quietly appeared.
