Chapter 54 Chess player? piece?
Tuk-tuk-tuk... Lucian's fingers tapped lightly on the wooden table a few times. Although his eyes were still reading the information about the goblin tribe, he began to recall what Bennett said in his heart. All that was said.
"I suspect that there is a secret realm related to the goblins near Kosai Island, and there may be the legendary goblin paradise there..."
Lucian's right hand jerked, and he suddenly thought of the key to the problem.
After all, when describing the intelligence, Bennett used some vague words about some information, such as: speculation, suspicion, etc. Such ambiguous words are naturally not considered fraud, nor can they be considered fraud. It was considered a violation of the oath and told Lucian and Lilia false information.
"According to this logic..." Lucian wrote quickly and began to sort out some of what Bennett said, and highlighted some of the words he said with ambiguous adjectives.
Wow——
Lucian stood up. He suddenly realized that he was in the library now, so he hurriedly hugged his things and spent 1 magic stone to rent a quiet room. After activating the warning witch formation, he quickly After sorting out all the information and combining it with the existence of half-elf and formal wizard Hurley, we roughly surmised what happened on Kosai Island.
"The thing that can attract half-goblins to come to Kosai Island at all costs is definitely not the Goblin Paradise. Bennett must know something, but he brought up the Goblin Paradise as a misleading, which means that this thing should be the same as the Goblin Paradise. It is related to the goblin clan and is of great benefit to both half-goblins and wizards.”
Lucian narrowed his eyes, then picked up the quill and circled a word on the paper.
Bloodline.
The only thing that can attract half-elves to madness is the blood of high-level elves. Or the corpses of high-level fairies, or other relics that can enhance the bloodline of fairies.
However, considering that this kind of thing may be attractive enough to formal wizards, but it is difficult for them to obtain it directly, Lucian feels that once excluded, there are very few points he can think of.
Finally, Lucian wrote two words in the blank space of the papyrus:
Fairy Tomb; Fairy Baptismal Fountain.
The former is easy to understand. In fact, it is a place where goblin corpses may be hidden. Inside the tombs of some high-level goblins, there is a high probability of finding the remains of high-level goblins, and then extracting the bloodline of high-level goblins. The latter is a building specially built by the goblins in ancient times for half-goblins and other goblin relatives.
Its function is very simple, that is, "reincarnation", transforming other non-fairy lives into pure-blood fairies after paying a certain price.
This is also a method used by the ancient goblin clan to win over their dependents. As a race with deep roots in promotion and bloodline, the goblin clan naturally has its own unique understanding of bloodline research. Even many wizards' research on bloodline can be traced back to the goblin clan.
The Goblin Baptismal Fountain is the masterpiece of the goblin clan’s bloodline research.
You know, the gap between mixed blood and pure blood is a huge chasm. Perhaps half-elves can continuously improve their fairy blood concentration or even bloodline level through blood collection and other methods, but their blood must contain some "impurities" that cannot be completely eliminated.
Therefore, even if the goblin blood in their bodies reaches 99.99% after modification, they cannot be said to be true goblins, they can still only be regarded as half-goblins.
The goblin baptismal pool can directly transform the baptizer into a pure-blood goblin through a process similar to the gestation of a goblin embryo, combining the baptizer's original body and the pure goblin blood stored inside the baptismal pool.
Even these baptizers do not necessarily need to have fairy blood. Of course, if the concentration of fairy blood in the body is too low or absent, this "reincarnation" is very likely to fail. But once the transformation is successful, they will be no different from those natural pure-blood fairies. They can freely use the power of blood to exert powerful combat power. As their bodies gradually grow, their mental power can be replenished by the blood. There is an astonishing improvement speed, and even the difficulty of being promoted to an official wizard is much lower than that of other wizards.
It can be said that each of those "newborns" who have been reincarnated in the baptismal font are real potential official wizards!
“It’s just that for me, the baptistery is a bit useless.” Lucian looked at some description information on the baptismal pool and shook his head in his heart.
Reincarnation as a goblin may be a very powerful attraction to other wizard apprentices, and even to some formal wizards. But for Lucian, this will limit his future development.
After all, bloodline is the key to hindering the promotion of the goblin clan. If he chooses to be reincarnated into a goblin, maybe the bloodline can be a big help to him in the early stage, but in the later stage, the bloodline will continue to hold him back, forcing him to spend a lot of money. He spent a lot of time refining and improving his bloodline, and even in the end, he had to face the life-and-death test of breaking the shackles of his bloodline.
"What's more, the main function of the system - upgrading knowledge is not very helpful to the goblin system, and the degree of compatibility between me and the goblin bloodline system is not high." Lucian put down the book and looked out the window. .
At this time, he had vaguely guessed the truth of the incident, and realized that he should have been trapped in the layout of an official wizard and became a pawn on his chessboard.
"If it's true as I guessed, then that wizard Heli's methods are really vicious." Lucian let out a breath.
"But his plan does not conflict with my plan at least in the early stage. Even in order to ensure the success of the plan, I am afraid that the Hurley wizard will try his best to help us divert the attention of other official wizards. As for me , but this is the best opportunity to improve your own strength.”
"And when I am successfully promoted, it will be time to turn my back on the business." Lucian showed a smile.
…
In the Ashbone Forest, next to the huge pit created by the previous explosion of abomination.
A black cat with three tails was circling around the deep pit. An extremely humanistic playfulness appeared in a pair of dark green vertical pupils.
"Meow~" The black cat seemed a little bored. It stretched its front paws forward, making a "cat pose" similar to the yoga pose, and the three tails behind it were high at this time. Raised high and swaying slowly with a special rhythm.
As its tail swung, the faint gray airflow began to gather, eventually forming a somewhat blurry figure.
His figure looked a little sluggish, and his face was somewhat similar to the dead Norian, but his appearance was somewhat similar to that of hatred.
At this time, Norian's remnant soul opened and closed its mouth, seeming to be telling many meaningless syllables.
"Meow!" The black cat opened its mouth, sucked in lightly, and the remaining soul was swallowed into its stomach. With a sharp cry, it became silent again.
