135 Bird in a Cage
“Of course, not now.”
Luo Ning closed the book floating in front of him and sat back in the chair.
“I still have a lot of preparations that I haven’t done. I will not break my promise to repair the enchantment in the Demon Race’s territory, and promise you to help you solve the black rain and find the truth about the weakening of the magic element.”
Luo Ning looked at Lilulu and said.
Lilulu didn’t have much expression on her face. She had heard from the conversation between Luo Ning and a few humans in the bomb shop that Luo Ning was going to the human territory. This matter made her consider all the way.
Now when these words came out of Luo Ning’s mouth, Lilulu felt a little relieved.
Now that he’s made up his mind, there’s nothing to worry about.
“I can help a little with the repair of the demon’s enchantment.”
Latier said actively.
After falling from the sky, the element under her control has indeed changed from a light element to a dark element. Although it is not as strong as a demon, if it is only used to repair the enchantment, it can help a little.
“As for the black rain you mentioned, Luo Ning… After I overheard your meeting last time, I started an investigation.”
Latier said, bending down and picking up the cylindrical thing that was placed at his feet.
There was an iron ring on top of the column, which Latier could pick up with a light hook of her white fingers.
The whole thing is roughly in the shape of a bird cage, wrapped in a layer of black cloth, and the inside is invisible.
Luo Ning frowned, and a feeling of doubt arises spontaneously in his heart.
As Latier raised the bird cage, everyone saw a few pieces of black feathers falling out of the cage.
The feathers fell lightly, but at the moment of contact with the air, it turned into a drop of black water and fell to the ground.
“This is…”
Mina opened her eyes wide and muttered.
“Black Rain.” Luo Ning insisted.
He has been in contact with this kind of bird, so he can judge directly at the moment.
“I flew in the air for a long time, and finally found a group of black rain that was bred in the territory of the demons.” Latier recalled, “Fortunately, the person who rushed in was me, and it was any of you, go in. It won’t come out so easily after that.”
Latier continued: “I’m not a pure demon, the influence of the black rain on me is far less than that on you, and magic can’t be used in that cloud, even the most basic flying magic can’t do it. , the strange birds hidden in the clouds will attack collectively, and it happens that my six wings are strong enough to pull out a bird.”
Latier gradually spread her plump wings as she spoke.
Her six black wings are still a bit terrifying when they are completely relaxed, at least visually there will be a sense of oppression that covers the sky.
While listening to her, Luo Ning focused on the birdcage in her hand.
Birds don’t call, like when Lorning and Raz broke into the cloud, they just approach silently, flapping the intruder with their beaks and wings.
“Not only their feathers, but once these birds come into contact with the air, their bodies turn into a pool of black water… I tried to catch them several times before, and they disappeared every time I took them out.”
Latier patted the outside of the cage and continued:
“This black cloth is a magic tool that I specially brought from humans. Its function is to control the flow of magic power… so it can be temporarily sealed.”
Although Latier has always been talking to herself, her words are still quite credible.
Although the black cloth outside the cage could not be lifted for the time being, it could be seen from the black water droplets dripping under the cage that the thing in Latier’s hand was the culprit behind the black rain.
Mina walked over with a fish tail, her gaze towards Latier was still cold, and sparks could even be rubbed when the eyes crossed.
But her target was not Lattier, she bowed down in front of Latier, stretched her arms, and lightly touched a little black water droplet on the ground with her fingers.
When the black water droplets touched Mina’s skin, it was corroding her fingers like strong acid.
Mina’s fingers made a ‘puff ziz’ sound. After a while, the water droplets were probably used up and the sound stopped. A gentle stream of water emerged from Mina’s fish scales and wrapped around her fingertips. Healed the burnt spot for her.
“It’s exactly the same as the black rain that fell on Demon King City before…” Mina looked at her fingers and concluded.
Since she said so, there is no need for the few people present to be suspicious.
This is undoubtedly a pleasant surprise for Luo Ning, the black rain itself is the problem he wants to solve.
After Luoning told Lilulu the truth about the black rain last time, Lilulu sent Fanny to guard the horizon, saying that once she found the black rain, she would rush in and grab a bird to study.
It’s just that until today, the black rain has not fallen, but it was grabbed by Latier.
“Have you studied what’s in here? That bird should have no life, right?”
Lorning asked about Latier.
Judging from the fact that the black rain can float out of the territory of the demons, the birds in the black rain should not have life. Otherwise, when the protective barrier of the demons was still there, the birds in the black rain could not be so easy. In and out of the demons.

Of course, this is only Luo Ning’s preliminary judgment. He wanted to dissect the bird and study it thoroughly, but the characteristics of this bird’s death did not allow him to do so.
“In my opinion…these birds are indeed lifeless.”
Latier walked forward with the bird cage and passed Mina.
She handed the bird cage to Luo Ning. She did not treasure the strange bird that she managed to catch. Compared with these, she was more willing to show sincerity in front of Luo Ning.
Luo Ning hooked the ring with his hand and caught it firmly.
The weight of the bird cage was much lighter than he had imagined. It felt as if it was empty inside, but as he lifted it, he could hear the sound of birds flapping wings inside the cage.
The voice was familiar to him, similar to the voice he heard when he broke into the dark cloud last time.
“But there is one thing I care more about,” Latier returned to his position and continued, “This bird, with three legs, looks very much like one that soars in the sky of the Demon Race’s territory. It is called the ‘Three-legged Crow’. bird.”
“Those birds are not strong enough, but they are better in number. It is precisely because they like to attack intruders in the air in groups that make those adventurers dare not fly casually in the territory of the Demon Race.”
“I think of them as a protective umbrella for the airspace of the demons, but now it seems… our airspace protective umbrella has been used by people with intentions.”
Latier’s tone was gentle, and the spearhead in her words pointed directly at Luo Ning’s conjecture.
“Do you know… puppet magic?”
