136 Chapter 126: A Serpentine Image

It's been a while since my thoughts and attention has been brought to this particular spell or rather, ritual.

In fact, there are quite a number of spells I have yet to use and quite a number more that I've only used once.

I have a good feeling the Mayor will provide bodies to freshen up my skills on said spells.

For now though, Anselm and I still search for a snake. For the ritual I have planned I'd need its skull.

I'm not especially psyched about having to rip a snake in two and separate its skull form the rest of its limp body. Ugh. I can already feel how slimy and wet everything is going to be.

Honestly, I don't exactly need a snake in particular. I could go with a rat for this little animal themed spy mission. But I'd rather not resurface memories of an unspoken unsavoury time.

So, snakes it is. 

"Still haven't found any?" I ask Anselm who's scouring the land from above. He shakes his head dully and I sigh.
