Chapter 118 Gift, Hell Blood Snake
Inside an elegantly decorated hall, Lucian picked up a quill, signed his name on an ancient stone contract with his own blood, and attached his spiritual imprint.
"Congratulations."
"congratulate."
The three wizards who were watching the ceremony smiled, and looked at Lucian with a sense of intimacy and friendliness in their eyes.
"Lucian, we are going to follow the old rules and hold a formal celebration banquet for you in a month. All the official wizards who can attend will come..." Wizard Huosen looked at Lucian with a smile.
"By the way, according to the rules of the academy, the new official wizard will receive a sum of resources provided by the academy. This is the list..."
As he spoke, Wizard Huosen waved his hand, and dense words suddenly appeared in the air.
"The Gray Bones Meditation Method, and the three official witchcraft models collected in the academy..." Lucian's eyes lit up, and he immediately found the knowledge he needed most now.
"Lucian, these are just the resources that every new wizard can obtain after being promoted to an official wizard." Suddenly, the voice of Wizard Huosen appeared next to Lucian's ears. It was obvious that the other party was using some special witchcraft at this time. Quietly contacted Lucian.
Lucian's expression did not change at all, but he cheered up and understood that the important point was coming.
"However, I, Horsen Burnham, am willing to be your recommender, and together with several of my friends, I will recommend you within the committee to succeed the person in charge of the Heli Plantation Area and the management of the Southern Black Marsh Principality..."
Lucian's eyes lit up. What Wizard Howson said was actually to support him in inheriting Wizard Hurley's original rights and interests within the academy.
These are the big cakes where energy can continuously produce resources or magic stones. They are core resources that some ordinary new wizards can hardly obtain by relying on their own strength. If it were really calculated as magic stone, the value would be much more valuable than the list provided by the academy.
This is obviously a great gift. Although it is said that there is no need to cut off the flesh from Wizard Huosen himself, it is still considered sincere.
This made Lucian couldn't help but look at Huo Sen, and Huo Sen also smiled at Lucian, as if nothing happened.
…
"Everything is really different." In the evening, after all the procedures were completed, Lucian sat in his now spacious laboratory, his eyes looking a little complicated.
"Lord Lucian, a third-level wizard apprentice came outside. He said he was a student of Wizard Gray." Gagarin stood at the door and said respectfully.
"Gray Wizard?" Lucian raised his eyebrows slightly, thinking of the giant one-eyed crow Thoros.
At the beginning, he spent a high amount of fifteen magic stones to buy a student quota through this gray wizard. It was a pity that the third-class qualified student he purchased at the time took the initiative to defect to Norian's side.
"Let him come in." Lucian said casually. After all, this was not the first time he had met with a representative of an official wizard or a student today.
Soon, a third-level wizard apprentice walked in respectfully, and then gave a beautifully wrapped gift box to Lucian. "Lord Lucian, my teacher asked me to come over to congratulate you..."
"Congratulations?"
Lucian was stunned for a moment, and then saw a purple crystal placed in the gift box.
This kind of crystal is amethyst, which can be used to arrange some witch formations to expel curses or arrange similar rituals. A palm-sized piece of purple crystal like the one in the gift box is worth close to 1,500 magic stones.
Compared with the gifts sent by other official wizards, which are generally worth between 300 and 500 magic stones, Wizard Gray's gifts seem a bit expensive.
But Lucian soon figured out the twists and turns. It was estimated that Wizard Gray's gift was actually some kind of apology in disguise, hoping to end the unpleasantness that happened between him and Lucian.
Of course, Wizard Gray's apology was a little soft but hard at the same time.
After all, when he took out the amethyst crystal stone used to suppress the curse, he was more or less hinting to Lucian that he was not as easy to mess with as Wizard Heli.
Lucian was slightly thoughtful, and the Gray wizard's student was also extremely uneasy at this time.
"Thank you, Teacher You, for your kindness." Lucian spoke slowly, accepting the gift.
After all, he has signed a contract with the Academy of Ashes, at least he cannot directly violate the contract and attack Gray Wizard. Being able to harvest a purple crystal stone worth 1,500 magic stones from Gray Wizard is probably enough to make the other party feel some pain.
The student escorting the gray wizard left quickly, but Lucian frowned slightly, and then tore off his sleeve, revealing the blood snake tattoo on his left arm.
This was a gift left to him by Wizard Hurley. This blood snake seemed to be some kind of living life, parasitic inside his body, using his body as a breeding ground, constantly devouring the life force inside to nourish several bodies.
If it continues like this, I am afraid that this seemingly inconspicuous little blood snake will completely hollow out its body.
"It's really troublesome." Lucian tapped the table gently.
There was already a nightmare creature Edelin that he had not dealt with before, and now there was a blood snake that was parasitic in his body, whether it was a curse or some kind of special life.
Lucian felt that if he continued like this, he would be able to open a strange zoo inside his body.
"Identification." Lucian finally gritted his teeth and spent 300 points of reverence to identify the blood snake on his arm.
[Item]: Hell Blood Snake
[Positioning]: Special life·cursed life
[Raw materials]:?
[Explanation]: A cursed creature created with the blood of an unknown life as its core. The larvae will parasitize the host and continuously suck the life essence inside the host until the host is completely devoured. The adult hell blood snake will Breaking out of the host's body... [Details]:...
"It's really a curse, and it's a special cursed life. I don't know where Wizard Heli got this weird thing from." Lucian frowned slightly as he looked at the introduction above.
The easiest way to kill a Hell Blood Serpent is to kill its host. But this is definitely unrealistic for Lucian.
However, it is not easy to kill the Hell Blood Snake or get it out of the body while ensuring your own safety.
According to the identification results given by the system, the simplest way is to use a special ritual called "Whirlpool Egg" to seal it, which can put the hell blood snake into a state of suspended animation similar to hibernation.
However, this is only a temporary solution rather than a permanent solution. After all, once the Hell Blood Snake wakes up from its slumber, it will "forage" for food due to hunger after waking up. By that time, it may even cause irreparable damage to the body.
Various other methods also have drawbacks, which are somewhat similar to the radiotherapy method used before Lucian traveled through time. When killing the hell blood snake in the body, those methods will also harm Lucian himself to a great extent. It is a lose-lose method after paying a huge price.
"Although I don't practice physical training, according to these solutions given by the system, my body will be greatly damaged by then, and my body functions will also be greatly affected."
"However, the sooner this kind of cursed life parasitic in the body is resolved, the better. If we encounter some official wizard opponents who are good at cursing, then the hell blood snake in the body may become the best weapon for the opponent to use..."
"The best way is to use the previous Body Refining Wizard Manual and the Body Refining Wizard School! As long as I can train my body to the level of a third-level wizard apprentice, my body's recovery ability will not be as perverted as Edison's. It’s an exaggeration, but it’s enough to offset the massive damage caused to the body by those hell-clearing blood snakes…”
Lucian tapped the table lightly, and combined with the identification plan given by the system, he quickly analyzed a set of handling methods that were most beneficial to him.
"Lord Lucian, Lord Peyton came to visit in person..." Gagarin trotted in. Seeing Lucian in deep thought, he lowered his head slightly, but still whispered the matter.
That is an official wizard, and he is also one of the two current official wizards of the Opal family. He is considered to be a relatively important one among the official wizards.
"I know." Lucian stood up. He was a little curious about the purpose of the Paton wizard coming to visit him.
Soon, Lucian arrived at the guest room of the stone fortress where he lived. At this time, Carly was chatting respectfully with an old man with slightly gray hair.
"Teacher Lucian." After seeing Lucian's arrival, Carly secretly breathed a sigh of relief. She was the one who was receiving the Peyton wizard just now. Although the Peyton wizard seemed to be more polite, she faced an unfamiliar person. As an official wizard, Carly still felt a little stressed.
After a few brief greetings, Wizard Peyton went straight to the topic. He looked at Lucian with a smile on his face, "I came here mainly because I wanted to invite you, and this...Miss Carly. Join our Oppa family, this is the condition given by our family.”
"By the way, I didn't think of Miss Carly when I first came here, but I can promise that if Miss Carly is also willing to join, we can double the above conditions..."
With that said, he handed a scroll to Lucian.
Lucian was stunned. He didn't expect that the Peyton wizard was so direct, and not only invited himself, but also invited Carly beside him.
Carly was stunned, but still looked at Lucian with questioning eyes.
Lucian glanced at the scroll quickly, and then gently put it down.
"They are really wealthy, especially a wizarding family with a deep foundation like the Opal family." Lu Xian sighed in relief, but he was not very cold about the invitations from these families.
Not to mention that he has agreed to join Wizard Huosen's small circle of wizards. Just saying that joining these wizard families is equivalent to binding himself to these families is unacceptable to Lucian. This will seriously hinder his future. of many plans.
"Haha, thank you to the Opal family for the invitation, but I still prefer a more relaxed life..." Lucian smiled and handed the scroll to Wizard Peyton, declining the other party's invitation.
"Okay, I know it's difficult to directly invite a formal wizard." Wizard Peyton wasn't angry either. After putting away the scroll, he laughed a few times, appearing to be more open-minded.
Then he clapped his hands gently, but two girls with almost identical looks walked in from the outside. The girls were beautiful, and there was a unique beauty standing side by side.
They all held a gift box in their hands and stood aside at this moment, which was quite eye-catching.
"This is a little thought from our Opal family. Even if we don't become a family, we can still become friends." Wizard Peyton smiled, but when he turned to look at the twins, his expression changed. He became stern and ordered, "From today on, your master is Lucian!"
The two girls had obviously undergone special training. At this time, they kneeled down respectfully, their eyes looking extremely docile. "Owner".
"Hahaha, I guess some wizards will come to visit later, so I won't stay any longer." Wizard Peyton chuckled, but quickly left Lucian's residence.
Carly looked at the two girls who were kneeling respectfully on the ground, then turned to look at Lucian with a strange expression.
Lucian shook his head. He looked at Carly, then at the two girls who were lying motionless on the ground, and waved gently, "Get up, you will be responsible for cleaning this castle from now on, but you will not be needed on the top floor." clean."
"Yes, Master." The twin girls' eyes were a little hollow. After performing a very standard etiquette towards Lucian, they quickly left the reception room.
"Teacher Lucian?" Carly looked at Lucian. At this time, she also felt the specialness of the two girls. While she was a little shocked, she also felt a hairy feeling on her spine.
"They have been completely tamed, just like taming animals." Lucian said softly, "You can understand them as some kind of living tools, without their own will or consciousness, they The only meaning of life is to obey the words of the 'master'..."
Carly felt a little creepy as she listened to Lucian's explanation. She couldn't help but murmur softly, "Then... there is no difference between them alive and dead."
"That's it." Lucian breathed out lightly. He actually had something to say, which was that these poor girls will definitely experience some other "corrections". Under this overdraft of body development, their lives will be ruined. It's shorter than ordinary people.
For the long life of an official wizard, it is even more of a "worthless" consumable.
"Teacher Lucian...will things change here in the future?" Carly was silent for a while, then she looked at Lucian, with a hint of hope in her tone.
