Compared to mutation, he personally feels more like evolution.
"Whew—"
Moreover, Basic Dragon Language is not the end.
Gauss looked at his Elite Points, which had accumulated to 132.
Currently, Basic Dragon Language is of white quality, but this is only temporary.
The Elite Points he has been accumulating are enough to upgrade again.
It will not have a childhood; as long as Gauss wishes, it can be elevated to blue quality at any time.
However, Gauss considered that he still hasn’t fully absorbed the knowledge about Basic Dragon Language in his brain, so he temporarily put the idea of advancement on hold.
It wouldn’t be too late to wait until he returned to the safety of the town, thoroughly absorbed the knowledge, and skillfully upgraded to blue quality in one go.
Otherwise, without fully acquiring the innate talent of Basic Dragon Language, if he undergoes a second advancement during the process, what if a bug occurs?
For the sake of caution, Gauss did not rush.
Once everything was over.
Gauss turned to look at the companions subtly surrounding him.
Due to the presence of an outsider, namely the rescued woman, Serdur and the others did not say much.
They just nodded to him.
They all guessed that Gauss estimated his bloodline power had made another breakthrough.
"Captain, is it over?"
"Yes."
Gauss nodded.
"Oh?"
Albena, initially taking deep breaths to adjust her physical and mental state due to the spider corpses everywhere, suddenly tilted her head upon hearing Gauss’s increasingly pleasant voice line.
She was very certain that Gauss’s voice had changed.
But to pinpoint the difference, she could not.
It only felt even more pleasant.
It made people subconsciously want to listen to him more.
"Lord Gauss, can you call my name?" Albena suddenly requested.
?
Facing this sudden request, Gauss’s forehead popped a question mark.
However, he didn’t think it was an abrupt request, so he didn’t refuse and casually fulfilled her request.
"Albena."
Albena’s body trembled slightly.
This voice, especially when Gauss looked at her as he said her name, seemed to possess a special magic that was almost tangible.
So magical.
"Can you do it again, Lord Gauss?"
"..."
"Albena?"
Gauss noticed her face gradually turning bright red and realized that he unconsciously lost control just now; magic power naturally flowed through his vocal organs, producing some special magical effect.
He quickly controlled it, the throat returning to normal.
Aaliyah also felt his voice was off earlier, originally intending to have Gauss call her name to experience the difference herself.
But Gauss had already controlled the magic power.
"Okay, the commission isn’t finished yet, let’s save any words for when we return to town."
After controlling the magic flow, Gauss’s voice, though still pleasant, lost that peculiar charm.
Aaliyah could only silently swallow her words.
"Are you a villager from nearby?" Gauss noticed the rescued woman, who seemed to want to speak but hesitated, and took the initiative to approach and inquire.
"Yes, Mage, my name is Maggie." Maggie, looking at Gauss, couldn’t help but heart race, but more concerned in her mind now is her family’s whereabouts.
"I got lost in this swamp with my father, uncle, and two other fellow villagers while hunting prey."
"Please, help me find my family."
Maggie had a bad premonition, considering they’ve been lost in this swamp for a long time, but she still held onto a glimmer of hope.
What if...
"Alright." Gauss nodded, indicating he understood the situation.
He briefly explained.
"Don’t worry, I’ve already released magical creatures to explore the surrounding environment."
Gauss’s clay creatures had been released and not recalled yet; during his recent battle and when his teammates were handling the spoils, they were exploring information in all directions.
It seemed like a waste of time, but it was actually perfect timing.
He couldn’t help but miss Ying.
If Ying were here, the exploration speed would probably be faster.
The investigation efficiency of clay creatures is not as good as Ying, who has special shadow talent capabilities.
Who knows how her advancement is going.
Maybe she is already on horseback, heading this way?
Once she reaches near Blue Lake, with a little inquiry, she’ll definitely know where he is.
Because the Blue Lake hunting list topped overnight, his reputation around the five towns is definitely not low now.
"Wait for me a moment."
Gauss closed his eyes, focusing his mind.
The released clay creatures were relying on the nascent hive consciousness talent to constantly feedback various information.
Receiving, analyzing, filtering...
Finally, Gauss determined a direction.
"Let’s go that way first." he finally decided on a direction.
Although Serdur treated Maggie, she was still having some difficulty moving, so Aaliyah summoned the silver wolf Ulfen to carry her and follow the team.
Gauss thought leaving her in place or having someone guard her would be less safe than having her accompany him.
After all, if really necessary, he would summon Red Dragon Dragon Beast Hephaestus to evacuate the battlefield.
The group moved quickly.
On the way, they encountered a site full of scattered skeletal remains.
Judging from the oxidation level of the bones, this was clearly very fresh remains.
Except there wasn’t a trace of flesh on it, most likely completely devoured by spiders.
"Is this your traveling companion?"
