"What are you doing for this harmful thing?"

The witch hunter slapped the oval head wrapped in algae with a short knife, as if thinking about where to start.

"Why do you want to make it into a barbecue and divide it evenly. I haven't eaten such a big octopus."

"Oh, please be gentle, don't break it!" Linus Pitt screamed strangely, then turned to everyone and said loudly, "Do you know this octopus, no, how precious this mollusk is?"

"You said this thing is a rare animal?" The woman hugged the boy with a bad look, and the boy looked at the octopus in a dodge. "Why do we see it? It's a size bigger than an ordinary octopus."

"It's true! Think about it carefully, have you seen octopus in the river?"

Linus Pitt said emotionally, "I am a bull castle biologist and have been studying all kinds of strange animals in the world. But this is the first time I have seen such a large octopus in the freshwater. There is no detailed record of it in the existing information in the academy - it is definitely an endangered animal and deserves protection!"

"Hmph!" A disdainful roar came from the crowd. "Do you have a brain problem to protect the murderer?"

"No matter how rare it is, people-eating things cannot be kept!"

Linas's face changed a little red, but he still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said sincerely, "Most of the people here are residents of Sintra, who live next to the Yaruga River, and should also know the changes in this river."

"Don't beat around the bush, what's the matter?"

"Please be patient," said Linus. "In recent decades, all rivers, including the Yarruga, have been deteriorating incredibly. Have you noticed that many of the fish you caught when you were young have completely disappeared."

"Is there any?" Most people lowered their heads and fell into deep thought.

"To be honest, I have conducted an investigation. Fifty years ago, there were more than 2,500 species of fish in the Yaruga River, but now there are less than 1,200 species left!"

"The white-finned fat-headed fish is dead, the coquet fish is extinct, and there are black fish, Xisala fish, spotted loach, red-bellied minnow, long-bearded poplar fish, emperor shuttle..." Linas suddenly said with a high tone, "This big octopus may be the only remaining fruit on the Yaruga River. If we kill it, maybe it will destroy a species with our own hands!"

"Hiss-" Someone took a breath and wondered, "Is it really as serious as you said?" After saying that, he suddenly realized that he no longer had such a great hatred for the octopus monster.

After all, they themselves were not attacked by monsters.

"Of course," Linus said righteously to everyone, "this is still a conservative statement."

"But it almost killed my little Blu just now and seriously injured a brave sailor!" The woman said unyieldingly, "You must not be so light!"

Linus said gently and generously, "I am willing to compensate for the injuries suffered by both of you..."

"Not mentioning compensation..." Yadonis limped over with the help of his companions, "Anyway, you must not put this monster back into the river!"

"That's right," the sailors said in unison, "or how can we do business in the future?"

In response, Linus patted his chest and said,

"I certainly wouldn't put it back into the river easily. To be honest, after arriving in Viden, I was going north to transport it back to Ossenfort and locked up in the laboratory to study its physiological habits," Lenas explained. "It will never be without a glass house for the rest of its life and it will never harm people."

Linus said this to this point, and the voices of opposition almost completely disappeared.

"You've finished discussing?" At this time, Roy slapped the mucus on his hand and smiled friendlyly at him - this thing is not a monster, its attributes are less than 10, and killing cannot improve the progress of his profession. So he can only change some experience, it's better not to kill.

"Now it's our turn to discuss, what price are you going to buy it?"

...

“Happy cooperation!”

The witch hunter laughed like a flower, two hundred kroners, basically without much effort, and the total amount in the small vault returned to two thousand kroners.

On the opposite side, Linus Pitt, who was slaughtered hard, felt no heartache at all, stared at the octopus's face and shone brightly.

"It seems that you are a rich and happy person... I'll give you some advice for free."

Linus didn't look back, he had to find a way to treat the wounds of the newly bought mollusc.

The harpoon did not cause fatal damage to it, but mainly the paralyzing poison made it fall asleep.

"After a while, you will borrow a fishing net from the crew. If it is almost out of reach, just put it in the water and soak it. I can also give you some medicines to your friends to prevent it from escaping."

"Thank you..." Linus sighed, "But now it is not called the Octopus Monster. I have named it Pitt's Book."

"It belongs to you now, and you can call it whatever you like."

The witch hunter resisted the urge to complain.

"But it is a big project to take a long journey to transport it to the cattle castle. If you take care of it on the way, you will only transport it back with a body. And the variables along the way are too big."

Linus frowned, Roy said happily,

"A friendly suggestion, take it to Hidalis, north of Viden, and find a warlock named Dorigare. He will help you."

"Dorigale?"

"This is also an endangered animal protector who advocates the balance of everything. He will definitely rescue this octopus for free...Peter's book. Moreover, as a warlock, he has superb skills, and your difficulties will not be a problem for him."

After hearing this, Linus's face softened to the witch hunter, "Forgive me for my attitude just now, my friend."

"Of course, I think I will come to Niubao to discuss business with you in the future."

He will go to see the rare zoo sooner or later.

...

After communicating with Linus, Roy greeted Cili and gave half of the newly obtained reward to the crew.

Without their help, it would be impossible to seize this valuable thing, and you should not be greedy for this little money.

The crew member did not refuse, and politely accepted it, and then invited him into the cabin.

In the cabin, Yadonis' upper body was covered with white bandages, and he lay on the bed, smiling at him weakly, "Witchhunter, thanks to you this time. When I return to Sintra, I must thank you very much and invite you to have a drink!"

"Okay, but I have to give you a glass first." The witch hunter picked up the dwarf's liquor at the bearded man and drank it all in one go. "The courage you show is really impressive. You are not like an ordinary person."

"What are you talking about..." Yadunis smiled bitterly, "I am just an ordinary crew member who has been working for more than ten years, but my grandfather moved from the Skelliger Islands. My grandfather kept telling me that Skelliger's man was not cowardly. Moreover, the boy was as cute as my little Reggie, and I really couldn't bear to sit idly."

"Then, I'll give Skelige a cup of Yadonis!"

"Cough, cough" Yadunis blushed and tried hard to get a glass of rum, "Witch Hunter, I'll give you a glass too."

"Call me Roy."

The two of them exchanged greetings for a while, and Roy asked, "Have you ever encountered such a water monster before?"

Yadunis shook his head and said firmly, "The route between Sintra and Veden has been calm. For more than ten years, even the water ghosts have not seen it, let alone this...well, the octopus monster."

"This is the first time I have seen it, and before that, I have never heard of it."

"I haven't even heard of it?"

"Never."

"That's strange." Roy touched his chin and fell into deep thought.

"Maybe, maybe it's an unknown omen." Yadonis murmured,

"What signs?"

"My nephew who served in the army in Sintra began to get busy again, and I felt that the peaceful days were not long."

"Before the disaster comes, all kinds of evil things will come out to cause trouble."
