Chapter 87 Lilia’s Madness (3k)
not good!
Many half-elves and wizard apprentices were frightened. They looked at the rapidly resurrecting monsters without fear. Many people thought of the roars of Lucian and other third-level wizard apprentices before, and they were so frightened that they quickly hid the weapons in their hands. He took out the magic plant and threw it on the ground like a hot potato.
But there are also people with despair in their eyes, because they used the magic plants as soon as they obtained them.
After all, for these second-level wizard apprentices who have been exploited by their mentors all year round, they know very well that if these precious magic plants cannot be used in time, they may eventually be taken away by their mentors, and although using them on the spot may waste part of the efficacy. It may even cause some poison to the body, but they can't control it.
But now, they can feel that this monster, which is much more powerful than the third-level wizard apprentice, has its eyes on them.
"Run!" someone roared, trying to find an exit to escape. But the next moment, a long tongue appeared on his back.
The next moment, he was pulled upside down by a terrifying drag force, and finally fell into the belly of the giant frog Cooks, wrapped in his tongue. And soon there were screams and wails in Cooks's stomach, as well as the cry for help from the wizard apprentice just now.
"Uncle Qi, save me! Save me!" A half-goblin screamed in fright, because at this time the giant creature had already looked towards him, opened its mouth, and its tongue was already stuck to her head. .
"Uncle Qi..." The half-goblin was frightened and screamed.
At this time, the goblin leader waved his hand, and a wooden thorn directly attacked Kux's long tongue.
It's just that her attack landed on Cooks, but it had no effect at all, and it didn't even attract Cooks' attention. It still slowly followed its own rhythm, and turned the half-goblin towards her in panic. The mouth dragged away.
"Alas." The half-goblin named Qi shook her head and sighed, but with a wave of her hand, a wooden thorn suddenly pierced the half-goblin's forehead, directly shattering her spiritual sea. She gives it a good one before being eaten alive by Cooks.
Quietly, the other wizard apprentices and half-goblins were all listening quietly to the appalling sounds of struggling and painful moans coming from inside Kux's stomach.
Many people had fears and worries on their faces. After all, they had just collected the magic plants in the garden. Although they had thrown them away, no one could tell whether this Cooks would be able to judge those who still hid the magic plants secretly. Will Zhi guys come to trouble them again?
At this time, Lilia was holding Adeline, her eyes extremely alert.
However, Lucian narrowed his eyes. He looked at the giant frog Kux who was still "calling names" at this time, but he thought of the sacrifice that needed to be made to Moon Wolf Tusuo.
Fortunately, the execution of the giant frog Cooks stopped after the three apprentices who were hiding the magic plant were eliminated. Immediately, it lay down and rested, as if digesting the "stored food" in its stomach.
But as long as you get a little closer to Cooks, you can hear the struggle and cry for help from the apprentice inside Gao's belly, and even a small wailing and some kind of sound similar to slapping liquid.
Many apprentices felt sad and lowered their heads slightly.
snap——
Suddenly, two badges that were somewhat similar to the Purple Leaf Talisman came out of Kux's mouth. The badge is circular, but the pattern inside is the face of the two apprentices who were swallowed without being killed.
"Sacrifice!" Lucian's pupils shrank, but he was the first to take action and rushed towards the two badges.
The other wizard apprentices also reacted. Maybe they don't know what the purpose of this coin-like item is, but sometimes, it's better to keep it in their hands without any use than to not have it in their hands when they know its purpose!
The shadow aura lingered around Lucian's body, and with the blessing of the witchcraft [Shadow Stealth], his whole body quickly integrated into the shadows underground. However, with a reaction speed that was much faster than the others, he used one of the prototype badges. Got it into his own hands.
Facing Lucian, who had already sneaked into the shadows, the others hesitated for a while, and then they could only grab another badge that was still outside. In the end, with the cooperation of the goblin leader, they were caught by that badge. A half-elf named Qi got it.
"You just killed a comrade and wasted a badge." Lilia had just collected magic plants, and she was most afraid of Kux and was the farthest away from him, so she was a little unlucky at this time, and the badge Missed.
However, she saw the secret of the production of this kind of badge, and therefore blamed Qi, who had just directly killed the half-goblin, and wanted to use this to force him to give up the badge just now.
"The badges we get are ours." The goblin leader blocked Lilia with cold eyes. "No one knew there was such a thing as a badge. My people did nothing wrong. What's more, now both of us have It’s a badge for one side, it’s fair.”
Lilia looked at the half-goblin who had exploded with momentum at this time, glanced at Lucian who had been released from the shadow form, and then looked at the other weak wizard apprentices, her eyes flickering slightly.
"Humph." She hummed softly and turned away. "Mina, when we leave later, remember to take the ice and snowflakes. That Kux should only move inside the garden. If you are faster, I will also give you a magic tool for acceleration, okay? There is a chance." Lilia returned to her seat and looked at her student.
"Teacher...I..." Mina's face turned pale. At this time, she could still hear the wail inside Kux's stomach. Lilia's move was undoubtedly an experiment with her life.
"It's not necessary, Lilia." Bennett looked at the several second-level wizard apprentices who had sad faces at this time, then looked at Lilia, and shook his head slightly. "I guess there will be other ways to obtain the badge in the future. What's more, what if we leave with the ice and snowflakes, and the Cooks won't chase us but will kill us all?"
Lilia ignored Bennett and looked at Lucian. It was obvious that he was using this demonstration to intimidate Lucian into giving up the special badge in his hand.
Lucian's right hand holding the "sacrifice" exerted slight force. He knew the value of the badge in his hand, but now was not the time to break up with Lilia. After all, there were still those half-goblins watching.
What's more, when there was still a choice, Lucian didn't want Lilia to act as randomly as she said.
If this giant Cooks frog can leave the garden and keeps chasing them, then the secret realm will become extremely dangerous.
"Lilia, I remember that you have a copy of Song of the Deep Sea." After a moment of silence, Lucian looked at Lilia and put forward his own conditions.
Song of the Deep Sea, a special natural wine. It can be taken directly to improve mental power, or it can be used as a raw material to mix with other materials to prepare a magic potion that can assist third-level wizard apprentices to be promoted to official wizards. Its value is higher than [Moonlight Praise], and it is an extremely Precious material.
However, within the secret realm, the value of this temporarily unused material is naturally not as valuable as the ritual badge in Lucian's hand. After all, these special badges may be the "credentials" for entering the core of the secret realm.
Bennett opened his mouth, obviously a little moved, but he looked at Lilia who was obviously mentally disturbed at this time, but in the end he didn't say much.
Lilia stared at Lucian, with a hint of violence deep in her eyes. "Okay, then you have to help me keep it safe."
As she spoke, she took out a wine bottle and quickly exchanged it with Lucian.
"Lord Lucian, I am Gagarin..." At this time, a spiritual force carefully connected with Lucian through witchcraft. Gagarin's attitude in this secret communication can be said to be extremely humble, although he did not say anything. The core content, but Lucian knew that this was where he came to seek asylum.
After all, the Mina incident just now can be said to have made the students under her feel a strong crisis, and at this time, they all began to look for new backers for themselves.
Lucian didn't promise anything, he just promised to take care of him within his ability and ended the communication.
However, he also gained a piece of useful information, that is, Lilia's doll Adeline. Gagarin had never seen Lilia use it before.
This is either the treasure that Lilia has been keeping at the bottom of the box, or it is a deliberate "gift" or "deal" by a formal wizard for this operation.
"Unlucky Lilia." Lucian glanced at Lilia who was studying the badge and shook his head slightly. At this time, he was too lazy to think too much with a guy whose cognition had been distorted.
Perhaps it was just like what Lilia said herself - she was only temporarily keeping the ritual badge for Lucian.
Because they were afraid of the giant frog Cooks who was "taking a nap" at this time, the apprentices' movements to find the exit were very gentle and regular.
In fact, the exit is not difficult to find. After all, this garden already has a beautifully decorated small wooden door. But now there are only two ways before many apprentices - open the door, or try to climb the wall.
After a brief discussion, a half-elf came to the wooden door nervously, then carefully pushed the door open with his hand, and then slowly and cautiously took two steps forward.
Everything seemed normal, but when the half-goblin wanted to return, there seemed to be an invisible diaphragm blocking him. Even the sound could not be heard clearly, and it could only be heard through his constantly opening and closing lips and gestures. Let’s guess some of the words he said.
This made many apprentices hesitant and wanted to observe further. Lucian, on the other hand, pulled Carly and walked quickly out of the garden.
The moment he walked out of the garden, Lucian's eyes were replaced by a vast expanse of white, causing him to close his eyes slightly. After a slight adjustment, Lucian reopened his eyes and observed the new environment inside the ruins of the Kingdom of Clouds.
"So... so many mushrooms!" Carly exclaimed.
And this is the most realistic portrayal of the environment in front of them. Looking around, they are all huge silver-white mushroom colonies nearly two meters high. Their silver mycelium, which is like a white gauze skirt, covers the ground. Looking from a distance, it even feels like it's covered in silver.
