Gu Shanhai entered the secret door with Little White, and Detect Poison did not detect any toxic substances; furthermore, Detect Magic also failed to reveal any transcendental aura.
Inside was peace without anything transcendental related.
"There are no Gold Coins, no transcendence, only a pile of dead magical animal skeletons." Gu Shanhai took a circle around, and even in the darkness, he could see clearly.
"It would have been nice if the divination could inherit my vision," sighed Gu Shanhai. During divination, the vision is not inherited; it only uses a specific viewpoint rather than acquiring Gu Shanhai’s vision, which was why everything was pitch-black.
Then Gu Shanhai realized that Little White seed unaffected.
"Has it developed its second ability so quickly? Makes sense, given the value of what it has eaten during this ti."
In addition to moving on water, Little White now seed to possess night vision, which it might have had earlier but had no opportunity to show because it was always by Gu Shanhai’s side. It likely didn’t even realize it itself since it was a passive ability.
Gu Shanhai walked around and soon found a stack of books that seed to be so sort of magical manuals.
After flipping through them, it appeared he was researching a brand-new magic technique.
"Animal companion? No, it’s a Magic Pet!"
Gu Shanhai quickly finished reading, his expression turning to surprise. This wizard was researching magic techniques related to Magic Pets, using the principle of the animal companion as a contract to form a novel type of Magic Beast.
In this world, a wizard’s Magic Pets are more like slaves and summons, incapable of providing additional enhancent to the wizard like animal companions can.
From the books, Gu Shanhai saw that this Magic Pet Wizard guessed that the lack of a contractual bond, which serves not only as a restriction but also as a bridge connecting both parties, was the reason.
Magic Pets are a special type of servant that evolved from animal companions after wizards and Druids parted ways, as with Kelson, whose bat, poisonous snake, and evil wolf are all Magic Pets.
"First-circle Magic Pet Pocket, second-circle Swarm Magic Pet Bag, third-circle Enhance Magic Pet, Magic Pet Enhancent, fourth-circle Magic Pet Enhancent, sixth-circle Magic Pet Enchantnt... wait, what happened to the fifth circle? Did it skip a beat?" Gu Shanhai flipped through the book and found six magic spells related to Magic Pets.
Although the nas were a bit strange, they indeed enhanced Magic Pets; he just wondered why there was no fifth circle.
"Could it be that the words ’enhance’ and ’enhancent’ were used too often, and the fifth circle should have been called ’Magic Pet Enhancent?’" Gu Shanhai couldn’t help but criticize, mainly because there were many points to criticize.
Of course, these spells were not the most important aspect; they were rely icing on the cake of the opponent’s Magic Pet techniques. Through another thod, the holder ford a contract different from that of animal companions, making them true magical pets, capable of providing additional assistance to the wizard like animal companions do.
More importantly, the formation of Magic Pet techniques allowed wizards to study and enhance their Magic Pets.
There were only three techniques: Control Magic Pet, which increased mastery over all abilities of Magic Pets; Secret Technique Mover, which allowed Magic Pets to create a small storage space; and Magic Pet Vitality, which enabled additional recovery of stamina and vitality for both wizards and Magic Pets.
Although there were only three techniques, they were likely developed by the opponent themselves.
"It’s not very useful to , but it seems quite beneficial for Little White, compared to animal companions, this novel Magic Pet technique seems a bit less monotone."
Animal companions also have follow-ups, like advanced animal companions, dragon companions, and other Druid-related inheritance techniques, but they seem a bit rigid, and Gu Shanhai can’t modify them as he desires.
But now with these findings, Gu Shanhai can use this knowledge of Magic Pets to modify his animal companions, of course, modifying the techniques, not Little White.
"If I modify the animal companion contract on and Little White using Magic Pet techniques, would it allow to share so of Little White’s abilities?"
"No, there’s sothing missing in the Magic Pet techniques here."
At this mont, Gu Shanhai suddenly realized that while there were techniques and spells, a crucial aspect was missing.
The original premise of the wizard researching Magic Pets was to gain enhancent from Magic Pets as with animal companions. This is not a standard D&D world but a chaotic one where wizards are not Mages or Magicians, hence they can control more than just one Magic Pet.
What was missing here are the techniques on how to obtain enhancents.
"Indeed, he kept sothing back, one false in nine truths, this is the most core part."
Gu Shanhai also recognized the wizard’s approach. All these were parts that enhanced Magic Pets, but missing the most core part, which could lead to a wizard being weaker than a Magic Pet, then once successful, would be the day of Magic Pet backlash.
Although Magic Pets are servants, they are fundantally wild beasts or magical creatures, unless they are cats or dogs raised from young and well-trained. But basically, no one chooses these, rather opting for more powerful creatures like fierce tigers and evil wolves for their combat abilities.
Thus, this beca a trap.
But if one had the core technique, no matter how powerful the Magic Pet, they could not surpass the wizard.
"This core part not only includes shared abilities and self-enhancent but also techniques related to the control of Magic Pets."
