Chapter 425: Chapter 420: The Mage’s Thought Process Chapter 425: Chapter 420: The Mage’s Thought Process “So this is the Wind King Hawk!” The blond girl examined the slumbering giant beast resting on a crystal nest formed from wind element crystals with lively interest, her eyes full of eager anticipation.

“What are you thinking?” Seeing Golden Dragon Mother’s reaction, Muria hastily restrained her.

The hundreds of Cloud Islands floating next to the Royal Capital Scarlett were strikingly conspicuous. Golden Dragon Mother was naturally curious about them. On learning that a Wind King Hawk was snoozing above, she promptly dragged Muria over. Knowing her mother was a Legendary Mage, Muria followed with no small degree of apprehension.

Mages, especially those who advanced to become legendary, were by no means insignificant. They were all audacious and daring, often contemplating ideas that commonplace individuals would consider fanciful.

Like god-killing, an issue almost every legendary mage would ponder. How to ensure their survival while killing a god after encountering the avatar of a deity. Of course, thinking and executing are two different things.

Beyond god-killing, these individuals often did things their peers found incredible. Like, calculating and researching ways to woo a goddess, and then engage in a wonderful encounter with her, facilitating intimate communication.

Over the long years, there have indeed been legendary mages who succeed in wooing goddesses and not just a single case. Not only the goddesses, but there have also been mages fearless enough to attempt to seduce the Lord of the Demons.

Yes, a legendary grandmaster mage once fancied the infamous Succubus Demon Queen Han Xiute from Inside the Abyss, desiring to have a simple and profound exchange with her.

After secretly plotting, he successfully approached the well-known Demon Queen, and fulfilled his initial ambition.

Then, he cooled down. His soul and body now form part of the Succubus Demon Queen Han Xiute’s many collections.

When Muria read about this sensational tale tainted with a fragrant aura in a book recording gossips about various big figures from legend, she was utterly stunned by the audacity and bold ideas of that legendary mage.

What kind of thought process could give rise to such extremely absurd thoughts?

It was precisely due to the mages’ whimsical ideas that led to the current high level of magical technology in Erathia World, though most people could not enjoy it.

“I have traveled the world without encountering a legendary beast. Now that I have finally come across one, it is only natural that I research it thoroughly.” The Golden Dragon Mother said matter-of-factly, and without further ado, she proceeded towards the slumbering Wind King Hawk.

“Mother, surely you know the consequences of offending the Wind King Hawk?” Muria again stopped Golden Dragon Mother’s movement.

“Yes, I do. My luck will worsen, that’s all.” Golden Dragon Mother said carelessly, “It’s just a bit of bad luck for a period of time. With my current strength, I can handle it. Compared to the gains from researching the Wind King Hawk, the price I have to pay is totally worth it.”

“Are you sure?” Muria recalled the warning from fellow Titans when she first entered the Titan Clan Land. They treated it as a unique entity respected even by Titans, due to contributions made by their ancestor to the world.

“For a mage, it is perfectly normal to pay a certain price to uncover the unknown. Although you have not devoted yourself to studying magic, you should know the basic principles of a mage.”

After the discussion reached this point, there was no longer any reason for Muria to prevent the Golden Dragon Mother from studying the Wind King Hawk. However, Muria still uneasily asked, “How do you plan to study the Wind King Hawk?”

“If possible, I would like to dissect the Wind King Hawk to study it. Of course, that is impossible for now. So, I can only conduct a surface-level research, collect some feathers and its overflowing power and breath.”

When Muria heard the first half of the sentence, her heart leapt. However, she breathed a sigh of relief when she heard the latter part.

“But it would be better if I could collect some blood and bones,” Golden Dragon Mother landed next to the Wind King Hawk, concealed her aura, and carefully collected some feathers before sighing in dissatisfaction, “With them, I could research more things.”

“Isn’t that enough? These feathers alone should be enough for you to research for a long time.” Muria, who was standing beside the Golden Dragon Mother, grabbed her hand which was eager to make a move. There were countless examples of people who, after provoking the legendary beast, ended up dying miserably and became a laughingstock. Of course, Muria did not want her mother to be among them.

“If you try to draw its blood, you will definitely wake up the Wind King Hawk, and then the situation would not be good.”

No matter who it is, one would definitely be furious if they discovered in their slumbering state that some entity had drawn blood without their consent.

“Right. If this big bird is really provoked and gets angry, you’re done for,” Golden Dragon Mother agreed with a nod.

“If you provoke it, why would I be done for?” Muria expressed her surprise and bewilderment.

“Because I would tear through space and escape, and all you can do is to use the special condition of the Nocchio Subcontinent to enter the soon-to-be merged Abyss. You couldn’t escape the wrath of the Wind King Hawk.”

“That is a bit disappointing for you. The situation you expect will not happen.” Muria showed a confident expression.

“You are very familiar with this Wind King Hawk?” Golden Dragon Mother immediately caught on. The fact that it parked its nest next to Muria indirectly indicated their extraordinary relationship.

“We just met, I wouldn’t say I know it well.”

“Then wake it up quickly and let it give me a drop … no, enough to fill this space ring.”

“Are you joking? Do you want to drain all the blood from this Wind King Hawk?” Muria’s mental power extended to the space ring. Seeing its volume, she realised it was a vast space that could more than accommodate her entire body.

“Compared to the immense body of the Wind King Hawk, what is this bit of blood?”

“I’m not that close with it, and if I ask for its blood, what am I going to exchange with it?” Muria asked with a grim face. Even blood donations have to be rewarded with some gifts, let alone her waking up the Wind King Hawk to request for its blood.

“Here, give you this!” After some thought, Golden Dragon Mother took out a wind elemental crystal core emanating a legendary aura and handed it to Muria, “You can exchange with it using this.”
