Chapter 115 Seeking peace? Showing weakness?
"Gagarin, how far are we from the academy now?"
"Lord Lucian, according to our current speed, we will arrive in three days at most." Gagarin looked at the map and replied respectfully.
"Yeah, okay." Lucian nodded, then stuck his head out of the carriage and looked at the road ahead.
"I thought I would encounter some trouble." Lucian muttered softly. These days, he has actually been alert to possible attacks by Wizard Heli, but so far, what he was worried about has not happened.
"It seems that he probably knew that frontal measures were useless, so he simply stopped struggling?" Lucian frowned slightly, then slowly shook his head.
These days, he deliberately "wasted" the time on the road, also waiting for some countermeasures from Wizard Hurley. It would be best to kill Wizard Hurley outside the academy, so that he would have less trouble in the future.
However, after waiting for these days, Wizard Heli's countermeasures were still not available, which made Lu Xian feel a little confused. After all, he did not believe that a veteran official wizard would choose to be killed.
"I want to see what other methods you have." Lucian made a decision after a slight pause. "Gagarin, speed up and try to return to the academy tomorrow morning."
"Yes." Gagarin responded, and at the same time he also used two auxiliary witchcraft to act on the wildebeest pulling the cart. Suddenly, under the increase and stimulation of witchcraft, the running speed of the wildebeest increased by a step, dragging the carriage and speeding forward.
Inside the Academy of Ashes, inside a hidden hall beneath the Persian family castle.
Wizard Hurley looked at the contact crystal ball that had been disconnected by the other side with a gloomy expression.
"Damn, damn!" Wizard Hurley roared, grabbing the crystal ball worth hundreds of magic stones, and then threw it to the ground.
Bang - The crystal ball fell to the ground and turned into pieces. Wizard Hurley was still angry and smashed the table next to him with his hand.
Then, he looked at the mess on the ground and gently shook the bell in his hand.
A maid cautiously approached the underground hall and started cleaning without saying a word. She closed her eyes and did not dare to look at Wizard Hurley on the side. She even held her breath slightly until she could no longer stand it. Only then did he dare to take a breath carefully, for fear that his breath would attract Wizard Hurley's attention.
After all, during this period of time, Wizard Hurley had tortured and killed fourteen maids and male attendants who served him.
"How many gaps are there in the batch of experimental subjects I need?" Wizard Hurley glanced at the maid who was still well-behaved at this time, snorted, and then asked.
"Sir, Sir Ule has secretly arranged ten teams to go to the surrounding villages to arrest people secretly, but you should know...the academy has relatively strict control over this kind of thing..."
The maid said tremblingly, for fear of offending the official wizard who had been having a bad temper recently.
"How much is the difference?"
"Probably... still less than 20%."
"Let them hurry up." Wizard Hurley waved his hand, indicating that the maid could leave.
The maid secretly breathed a sigh of relief, as if she was happy to have escaped.
However, she was still inside the underground hall at this time, so she did not express the feeling of escaping from death in her heart. Instead, she respectfully and slowly stepped back, and finally came to the entrance of the hall, and then took a long Let out a breath.
But the next moment, the maid who just felt that she had escaped death lowered her head in horror and looked at the huge hole in her chest.
At this moment, a few tiny silk threads were like the sharpest scalpels, completely removing her bright red, still beating heart.
At the same time, these threads continued to drag her body, slowly dragging her body towards the "Killing Hall" that she had just escaped from.
It's like falling into the abyss again.
The maid's eyes silently stared at the ceiling of the underground hall, leaving a bright red color on her "return" path.
"It's too late, but if I can add you, it will be enough." With a cold expression, Wizard Hurley manipulated the puppet threads to capture the soul of the maid, and then stored it in a special witchcraft.
This witchcraft tool looks a bit like a kerosene lamp, but what is burning above the blue flame is a silent wailing human soul that seems to be cursing or crying.
call--
As the new soul was thrown into the witchcraft tool, the blue flame instantly became more intense, while the expressions of the roasted souls above became more painful and crazy.
"I curse you..."
"I use my soul, I use my blood, I..."
Wizard Hurley stared at the blue flames, and countless shrill howls seemed to come from his ears, and there were even various strange and terrifying death scenes.
However, Wizard Hurley remained unmoved, and even his mental power was not affected at all.
"You should feel honored to be able to contribute to the great Heli Bonn." Wizard Heli's old face was extremely calm. Looking at these rolling and crying souls, the corners of his mouth even turned up slightly.
"Lucian, I hope you can make the right choice. This is good for you and good for me... Hahaha..." Wizard Heli murmured, but his expression gradually became a little crazy.
…
"Teacher Lucian, I now have an idea, which is to combine potions, bow and arrow skills, and bloodline magic [armed plants] with each other. According to the previous idea of attaching venom to poisonous arrows, I can integrate my current abilities. stand up."
On the carriage, Carly told Lucian about her future attack methods.
"I feel that the flaw of the bloodline spells lies in the limit on the number of spells during combat, which is somewhat... similar to the [blue bar] you compared before, Master Lucian. Although some bloodline spells have powerful destructive power or special functions, The blood energy consumed is also huge, so it is not suitable as a conventional method in combat, but should be used as a trump card..."
"So, you want to use some poisons, or some offensive potions attached to customized arrows made with [Armed Plants], and use them as your regular output method by storing a large amount of potions in advance? "
Lu Xi listened quietly and made a final summary of Carly's thoughts.
However, Lucian always felt that Carly's idea seemed familiar. It seemed that a game he had played before time travel had a similar bow and arrow setting.
"Very interesting setting." Lucian snapped his fingers. "I roughly understand what you want to do, but I think it can be improved a little. I feel that according to your idea, special arrows can actually be divided into arrow bodies, special potions and bottles used to load the potions. Of course, There can be some special customized arrows..." "Lord Lucian, there is a third-level wizard apprentice in front, who seems to be waiting for someone..." Just as Lucian took out the draft paper for Carly and started telling Carly about his ideas. At the same time, Gagarin in front quietly interrupted Lucian who was teaching.
"Third-level wizard apprentice?" Lucian frowned slightly, but he was not surprised. After all, they are now very close to the Ashbone Academy, and maybe they have met a third-level wizard apprentice who is out on a mission or conducting an experiment.
"The other party is a wizard apprentice of the Bonn family..." Gagarin reminded in a low voice.
"The Bonn family? The family founded by Hurley?" Lucian frowned.
Gagarin nodded, but said nothing. After all, this involved a formal wizard-level game, and all he needed to do was follow the instructions instead of talking too much.
"Interesting." Lucian temporarily broke away from the teaching and motioned Gagarin to continue walking, "I'm a little curious about what Wizard Heli wanted to say to me when he asked a third-level wizard apprentice to come over. ”
"Hmph, maybe there is something else to talk about." Lucian sneered. Originally, he thought that Wizard Hurley would have some kind of back-up plan, but now it seems that Wizard Hurley is more like showing weakness.
And soon, the carriage stopped not far in front of the third-level wizard apprentice.
"I am Vina Bonn, and I am also the current speaker of the Bonn family." The Bonn family sent a female third-level wizard apprentice. She looked relatively young, but she showed very good willpower.
She still maintained the most basic calm under the pressure of the official wizard force field deliberately released by Lucian. While maintaining a certain etiquette, she also showed the humility that a third-level wizard apprentice should have towards a formal wizard.
"I came here to wait for Lord Lucian this time for the sake of our family..." Wei Na looked at Lucian, but inadvertently shook her body, as if she couldn't bear the formal wizard force field released by Lucian. And seems a little fragile.
"Lord Lucian..." Wei Na raised her head, looking a little pitiful.
Lucian glanced at her and removed the mental force field, which also made Vina feel a little happy. If she could get into Lucian's line as an official wizard through this relationship, she might be able to get some help from Lucian in the future. The resources she received were even more than what she had distributed within the family...
But just when she was still thinking about it, Lucian's somewhat cold words made her face turn pale. "You are not of a high level, and you are not qualified to talk to me on behalf of anyone. If you are really sincere, let the official wizard-level combat power of the family come over."
On the side, Gagarin tried hard to hold back his expression.
The official wizard of House Bonn?
Isn’t that just Wizard Hurley? Although Lucian's words did not specify anything, it seemed that he had said everything that needed to be said.
"Lord Lucian! We are willing to pay compensation, compensation that will definitely satisfy you..."
Feeling the indifference and impatience in Lucian's tone, Veena Bonn's speaking speed became a little urgent at this time, and then her tone became a little sad, and finally she knelt directly on the ground.
Lucian narrowed his eyes.
A miserable sale?
Showing weakness?
They are all imaginary, and he doesn't care about them.
Just when Lucian was about to take action, Carly walked out of the carriage, stretched out her bow and arrows, and the arrows were filled with waves of magic energy.
Lucian glanced at Carly from the corner of his eyes.
Kali understood it, and the arrow came out of her hand, but it was shot close to Weina's head. The cold air attached to the arrow even scratched Weina's left ear, and the blood that flowed out was frozen in an instant, which was even more frustrating. The left side of Vina's cheek turned cold.
"It's still wild here, Ms. Bonn." Lucian's voice was cold. "By the way, when you go back, remember to say hello to your family's wizard Heli for me."
"Yes... yes, sir." Vina was lying on the ground and did not dare to move. She could only watch the two carriages slowly leave from her side.
She slowly raised her head, her face was a little pale, and her expression was even more helpless.
The power of the arrow that Carly shot before was at the level of a second-level wizard apprentice, so the significance of demonstration was greater than actual combat. If encountered in the wild, she could easily block it. But she didn't dare to move just now, because Lucian's mental power had been firmly locked on her, making Wei Na understand that if she dared to move, she would definitely be mercilessly killed by Lucian.
"I have to report it to the ancestor of the Heli clan as soon as possible..." Wei Na covered her injured left ear, but did not use healing witchcraft to help her repair the wound. After all, she also needed to let the Heli wizard see her attitude and the attitudes of Lucian and the others. .
Wei Na took out a communication crystal ball and quickly communicated with another crystal ball, "Sir, it failed..."
However, after ending the communication, Wei Na quickly crushed the communication crystal ball in her hand.
Then she turned her head and looked in the direction of Ashes Academy. There seemed to be a trace of nostalgia in her eyes, but soon the nostalgia disappeared and was replaced by a trace of determination.
"Goodbye." When Wei Na left, she didn't look back.
She understood that Lucian's return would deal a final blow to the decaying Bonn family. Even if Wizard Hurley survived, the life of the Bonn family would definitely become extremely miserable.
She would not sacrifice herself to suffer together with this ruthless family.
"Wild wizards will be wild wizards. Although they may face the pursuit of Ashbone Academy in the future, it is better than staying in the academy and waiting to die." There was a hint of determination in Wei Na's eyes, and then she performed an auxiliary witchcraft. Escape quickly away from Ashes Academy.
…
"Failed." Wizard Hurley crushed the communication crystal and picked up the "kerosene lamp" on the table.
The figure of Wizard Hurley walking in the lonely castle was like a ghost, and he soon came to the interior of a hall where a huge witch formation had been arranged.
At this time, there were seven wooden stakes inside the witch formation, and on each wooden stake was a twisted and struggling wizard apprentice.
There was fear in their eyes, their mouths were open but no sound came out, and their bodies were penetrated but no blood flowed out. They seemed to be in a very special state.
But after Wizard Hurley walked in, these people became a little restless. Some began to curse silently, while others closed their eyes and let out silent sobs.
