Chapter 129 Cold Stone Manor, the changes and abilities of the Holy Blood Tree
"I have contacted you for your Excellency. At this time, there are a total of three Whitestone Castle wizards who are accepting the 'talent transplant' business from outsiders. This is the information provided by each of them. Please take a look at it."
In the Ice Bat Tavern, Ronan sat at his usual seat by the window. Barisha beside him respectfully handed over a few pieces of parchment and rune stones.
Whether it is parchment or rune stone, what is recorded in it is information about "talent transplantation".
The handwriting on it was different and it was obviously written by different people. Barisha didn't even have time to sort it out before he notified Ronan to come over.
Ronan scanned all the information one by one, put down the things in his hands, looked at Barisha calmly, and said calmly: "Do you have any good suggestions?"
Barissa glanced at the black magic stone that Ronan placed on the table to hold down the parchment. He unconsciously made a swallowing motion, suppressed the heat in his eyes, thought for a while and said seriously: "This Among the three people, although the wizards of the Frissi family can provide the most types of transplanted monsters, their failure rate is the highest. I'm not sure whether it has something to do with the wizards who received the 'talent transplant', but the Frissi family accepted it. The probability of success for wizards with talent transplants has always been only half of the normal, sometimes not even half, but they promised to refund half of the fee if they failed.
Ice Edge Valley used to be the gathering place of the Clavell family. Unfortunately, the only one left in decline now is an old man named Tamsanga. This old guy has a weird temperament and is moody. Sometimes he will suddenly increase the price temporarily and compete with the second level of the same level. The wizard was quite polite.
Relatively speaking, Mrs. Liwei of Hanshi Manor has a good reputation, but there have been rumors of monsters haunting Hanshi Manor for hundreds of years, and people disappear there every year. If you go there, please be more careful..."
"monster?.."
Ronan's eyes flashed and he asked Barisha, "Has anyone seen what the monster looks like? How strong is it?"
"Most of the people I met are dead. Occasionally, those who survive are either crazy or stupid. The monsters they talk about are also all kinds of strange and different. As for the strength of the monsters you mentioned, sir."
Barisha smiled bitterly and said softly: "For us ordinary people, since they are monsters, they are naturally terrifying existences that cannot be resisted. I don't know what kind of strength it is..."
"What's the highest level of people missing around there?"
"A first-level wizard disappeared there and never appeared again, and there was more than one."
"Don't you care about the other wizard families in White Rock Castle?"
"Hanshi Manor belongs to Mrs. Liwei's family territory. People from other families have no right to interfere with the jurisdiction. There are very few wizards from other families who go to Hanshi Manor. Most of them go to receive the 'talent transplant' from outside. Wizards, or ordinary people sneaking in to hunt."
Ronan asked Barisha a few more questions, finally nodded and made his decision.
"Just this Cold Stone Manor...help me contact this so-called Mrs. Liwei."
Barisha didn't persuade him any more, he just obeyed very respectfully, put away the magic stones on the table, and left in a hurry.
After Barisha left, Ronan sat alone at the table, tapping his fingers on the table.
"Cold Stone Manor..Missing Person Monster"
"Is there some evil wizard doing some evil human magic experiment inside?"
After thinking quietly for a while, Ronan stood up, like a wisp of cold wind passing through the tavern, and soon returned to his own residence behind the tavern.
A room that is not too big, the blazing flames burning in the fireplace add a warm orange-red color to the whole room.
The room is made of some kind of cedar. There has just been a heavy snowstorm in Baishi Castle in the past two days. The snow outside the house has almost reached half of the window. The window glass is covered with large and beautiful ice flowers with exquisite shapes. It is unique. A bit of a fairy tale atmosphere.
However, no matter how beautiful the snow scenery is, you will get tired of seeing it after more than a month.
Ronan's patience was being worn away bit by bit.
The time limit Kirsty set for him was two and a half months. It was impossible for him to really stick to this time and go back. If he missed the opening of the secret realm of the Garden of Mirrors, it would be more of a loss than a gain.
"No matter what's weird about this Cold Stone Manor, I'm just going to accept the 'talent transplant'...
Regardless of whether this time is successful or not, return to the Silver Circle immediately after the end. "
Ronan counted the time and found that he could only stay in White Stone Castle for twenty-five days at most.
And the time he left for himself was fifteen days.
Within fifteen days, if the purpose of this trip can be achieved, it would be best. If not, just return directly and try to break through the second-level wizard on the way.
In fact, Ronan didn't take the so-called "talent transplantation" very seriously at Baishi Castle.
The effect brought by "Talent Transplantation" can indeed be regarded as a very powerful increase for ordinary ice wizards.
The talent of instantly casting an ice spell can almost be used as a trump card. The ice energy affinity talent can "reborn" an ice wizard and improve his abilities in all aspects.
But he is not a pure ice wizard.
"Talent transplant" can only be regarded as "the icing on the cake" for you. It doesn't matter if you have the best or not. The most important thing is that it is not a permanent improvement.
Thinking about it, Ronan set up the rune array, and then took out the holy blood sapling from the space ring.
After more than a month of continuous watering with blood, the Holy Blood saplings grew rapidly.
The height has grown from the size of two palms to the current height of more than one meter.
The trunk is nearly two fingers thick, and the number of leaves reaches more than 40, making it quite lush.
After growing up, the Holy Blood Tree became more spiritual, and its movements to express closeness became more and more obvious. When Ronan took it out of the space ring, the leaves of the sapling suddenly rustled, as if they were coquettishly coquettish with him. .
As usual, Ronan used his own blood to feed the Holy Blood saplings together with the special "nutrient solution" specially prepared for the Holy Blood saplings that Benigo had given him before leaving.
After watering, it is customary to gently pat the treetops with your hands, play with it, and enhance feelings.
"Um?!"
Suddenly, Ronan's eyes moved, and he gently opened a cluster of leaves at the bottom of the Holy Blood Tree with his fingers, and found tiny dark red tentacles under several green and pink leaves.
"What's this?"
Ronan blinked, looked at the red tentacles on his hands, and subconsciously took out a communication stone from the space ring.
A moment later, there was a knock on the door of the room where Ronan lived, and the door opened. A young, tall and thin man with a red nose and smart eyes stood respectfully at the door.
The young man was also carrying a plump grouse with gray feathers that fluttered from time to time.
"Dear Wizard, may I ask... is this okay?"
"Okay, thank you."
Ronan took the grouse from the young man's hand and threw out a low-level magic stone. Before the other party could express his gratitude with joy on his face, he had already closed the door.
Quickly walking back to the Holy Blood Sapling in the rune circle, Ronan took out the communication stone in his pocket and said calmly to the communication stone: "We found a living creature, Benigo.
What should I do next? "
The voice belonging to Benigo came from the communication stone. Different from the calm and indifferent tone of the past, the voice seemed to be suppressed with the slightest excitement and urgency.
"I don't know exactly how to do it, it's up to you, Damien.
Try to communicate with the Holy Blood Tree and let it understand what you mean.
Remember to record the entire process! ! "
"Communicate." Ronan put down the communication stone and looked at the Holy Blood sapling in front of him, his eyes slowly blooming with expectation.
Holy Blood Tree.
The legendary tree is said to have purified blood and bring people back to life.
Ronan has been looking forward to this day since he was just a seed.
Unexpectedly, it came so quietly and unexpectedly.
According to Benigo, when the Holy Blood Tree grows blood vessel-like tentacles, it proves that it has the ability to purify blood.
Ronan took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions raging in his heart.
He squatted down and slowly released his spiritual power towards the Holy Blood Tree in front of him.
His consciousness fluctuated extremely gently, like coaxing a child.
This process was smoother than he imagined. It may be that the Holy Blood Tree completely "eated" his blood to grow up, and in a sense, it had a real blood connection with him, and it had unreserved intimacy with him. It’s about trust.
The Holy Blood Tree is full of spirituality and can quickly understand what he means.
When all the bright red tentacles hidden under the branches and leaves were revealed, Ronan discovered that the number of these tentacles far exceeded his expectation.
The densely packed tentacles, like countless slender red yarns, clung to Ronan's right hand and wrapped it bit by bit around the confused snow grouse in his hand, not knowing what was about to happen.
The whole process seemed full of mystery and evil.
Ronan let go of his hand and took two steps back, his eyes fixed on the scene in front of him.
When the grouse as the experimental subject was completely wrapped in the tentacles, it turned into a state similar to a red yarn ball.
"Gulu——"
A sound similar to sucking sounded in the quiet room, and the densely packed bright red tentacles all lit up, and then the Holy Blood sapling also began to glow. Complex light red mysterious lines appeared on every leaf on its body. An indescribable mysterious atmosphere flowed in the room.
Ronan saw that the plump grouse wrapped in countless tentacles quickly "dried up" within two seconds, but the life fluctuations inside were still there, but suddenly became extremely weak.
The Holy Blood sapling was trembling violently, desperately stretching every leaf on its body, and the mysterious lines floating on the leaves became brighter and brighter.
It can be seen that the Holy Blood Sapling is really working hard at this time...
I don't know how long it took, but at the top of the Holy Blood Tree, a huge blood bag grew at a speed visible to the naked eye, followed by another thumb-thick branch that quickly grew out of the blood bag. .
Rather than a branch, it is more like another strange tentacle, but it is much thicker than the previous one. It has no patterns on it and is very smooth. Only the top end has a small mouth that looks like a suction cup.
The beard tube connected to the blood bag actively extended to Ronan, and weak fluctuations of consciousness were transmitted to Ronan.
Ronan understood the information contained in this fluctuation of consciousness, thought for a moment, and directly inserted the whisker tube back into the red "ball of wool" wrapped in countless tentacles.
The blood bag at the top of the Holy Blood Tree quickly shriveled up until it shrank completely, while the originally shriveled "ball of yarn" became full and expanded again.
"Shua——"
Countless tentacles and whiskers released and retracted in an instant, and a lively snow grouse reappeared in front of Ronan's eyes.
This snow grouse that came from the kitchen of the "Ice Bat Hotel" and was "transformed" by the Holy Blood sapling has become completely different from the original one.
Its size has almost doubled, and its originally gray-white feathers are completely white, exuding a faint luster under the reflection of the rune array in the room.
Its legs and wings are visibly strong and powerful, its mouth and claws are very sharp, and its eyes are shining like rubies, with a hint of fierceness emanating from them.
It seemed that an inexplicable and powerful aura was constantly awakening in its body, and its body's changes continued. Ronan even felt that there were a large number of free energy particles in the air converging towards it.
"Shua——"
A sharp sound broke through the air, and a flash of white light quickly struck Ronan's face.
Ronan lightly snapped his fingers, and the grouse that said "My fate is up to me" exploded in mid-air, exploding into a ball of red and white blood mist, which was then enveloped by an invisible force, and closed in. It was bundled into a ball, fell into Ronan's hands, and was put into the space ring by him.
[Strength has increased three to four times, speed has increased, body shape has changed, physique has changed, and the ability to actively absorb energy particles has awakened]
A blank rune stone appeared out of thin air in Ronan's hand, and he kept recording something rapidly in it.
When he finished everything he was doing, his originally calm and handsome face was already filled with unconcealable excitement and joy.
"Seriously...it has the effect of purifying blood!"
"An ordinary snow grouse, after a bloodline purification, almost has the tendency to develop into a zero-level monster..."
"well"
Turning his head, Ronan's eyes fell back on the Holy Blood Sapling, his eyes immediately shook, and he walked up quickly.
At this time, the Holy Blood sapling looked extremely languid, with all its leaves drooping downwards, without any luster, and looking listless and exhausted.
"Doing this now is still too strenuous for you, right?"
Ronan tried his best to soothe the emotions of the Holy Blood Sapling with a gentle tone.
At the same time, he directly entered the "semi-demon" state, cut open the flesh and blood, and quickly poured the blood containing a large amount of vitality onto the Holy Blood sapling without hesitation.
The latter greedily absorbed Ronan's blood, and his appetite had never been greater than this time.
The spirit also recovered quickly, and it didn't take long to return to the original "energetic" state. It even grew a few more young leaves, with faint mysterious lines growing on the leaves.
"good boy"
Ronan finished watering, patted the top of the Holy Blood sapling, and stood up, with a huge brilliance floating in his eyes.
"When we return to the Circle of Magic, let Benigo help analyze my bloodline and screen out the valuable parts. Then we can start using the Holy Blood Tree for purification."
"I remember Kirsty once said that I have a trace of the blood of the Moonlight Elf in my body. I don't know what kind of talents the Moonlight Elf has. Is it considered a powerful race?"
"These days are starting to look more and more promising..."
Three days later, on a high slope in the snow outside Baishi Ridge.
A carriage with black silver trim was running quickly on the white snow.
