Chapter 168 Human Relationships and Silkworm Transformation
"Where is this?"
The first thing Perni did when she woke up was to look around and she found that she was in a simple bedroom with a high concentration of particles in the air. She concentrated for a moment, remembered what happened before, and hurriedly checked her condition.
Apart from feeling a little heavy in her head, nothing bad happened, which made her feel much more relieved.
The most important thing is to figure out where you are first.
"Mumble."
As she walked out of the bedroom, a gray moth flew up to her and motioned for her to follow it.
Purney suppressed her doubts and followed the moth through the house, which was larger than she expected. She came to a special room, where she saw more insects and a familiar figure.
"Did you sleep well?"
"Ivan, it turns out that you are the one who brought me back." Purney was completely relieved. Then she thought of something and looked around. "Where is Toins?"
"Don't worry, there is no such person as Toynes in the world anymore."
"He's dead! It's better for such a scourge to die. It's such a blessing for him." Upon hearing that Toins was dead, Penny was still not satisfied and cursed him harshly.
"Haha, what's the matter? Are you still thinking about becoming a wizard yourself and causing trouble for Toins again?" Ivan laughed.
"I have this idea." Pernie nodded without hesitation. If she hadn't been defeated, she would have wanted to kill Toins on Laer Island. "By the way, is this your academy?"
"Keep Toines' death a secret."
Ivan did not plan to report to the academy to avoid being implicated. Toins died in a place with a strange atmosphere, and it would be difficult to detect even if he was dead, so he just pretended that nothing had happened.
"Row."
"As you can imagine, this is the Mona Ant Hut."
"So, you are now an official wizard?" Penny had actually noticed the wizard robe on him, but she just couldn't believe it.
"How else can I bring you alive and get you into the Mona Ant Land Hut Academy?" Ivan said. The Wizarding Academy is not something that can be entered casually. Apprentices do not have the right to bring outsiders in, not to mention that the other party is an apprentice from another academy.
Mona Ant Lodge and Leah Singer Shelter are both members of the Sparkling Vortex Alliance, but the Sparkling Vortex Academy Alliance is only a loose alliance. Up to now, the four academies will only advance and retreat together when it comes to matters involving the "Power of the Sparkling Vortex".
Hearing his affirmative answer, a hint of shock flashed across Purney's eyes, and her mood was very complicated for a moment.
The last time they met, she realized the gap between them and secretly made up her mind to catch up. However, she never expected that when they met again, the other party had become a wizard.
This speed was really beyond her reach.
Thinking that if the other party was not a formal wizard, they might not be able to escape Toines's clutches this time, Purney felt relieved and said gratefully:
"Thank you, Ivan - Wizard."
"You're welcome. It's just a piece of cake."
"It's just a matter of convenience for you, but it's my only life." Purney didn't like this statement, as if her life had no value. "Humph! Consider it that I owe you a favor, and I will repay it sooner or later."
"as you like."
Ivan didn't care much.
The place where he is now is a silkworm house specially used to house the swift wood silkworms. Inside there are a large number of their favorite mulberry wood cabinets, mulberry wood sections, mulberry wood racks, and some green mulberry water.
As a wizard, he had the authority to post tasks in the mission hall. He had previously registered a task that required mulberry wood, and someone delivered a large batch of more than one variety of mulberry wood that day, which was very convenient.
If he had his own exclusive shadow ant servants, he wouldn't have to show up himself, which would be more convenient.
At this moment, there were two silk cocoons hanging on the mulberry wood rack in front of him, one the size of a fist and the other the size of a head. They were the cocoons of two swift wood silkworms that had encountered an accident.
Driven by the added energy, the two swift wood silkworms entered a state of metamorphosis soon after returning. The cocoons they produced were different and larger than the first time.
In particular, the Swiftwood Silkworm, which had received Toins' power, made a cocoon that was several times larger.
He also found that the two cocoons were growing at different speeds, indicating that the size of the swift wood silkworms would change during this metamorphosis. Thinking of Randall's words about the mortality rate of metamorphosis, he couldn't help but worry.
"Wizard Ivan, do you also raise insects?" Penny asked curiously, looking at the insects around her.
"I'm a serious insect controller."
"Aren't you an enchanter as well as an apothecary?"
Pernie remembered that he was originally a pharmacist, and he also said that he joined the enchantment group. How come he has become an insect controller now?
"Yes, my mentor is one of the best insect controllers in the entire Yueqian Peninsula. As his favorite disciple, of course I am also an insect controller." Ivan said.
“What about time and energy?”
“I have a strong learning ability and the ability to support myself to develop in many directions.”
"What about resources? This will cost a lot of resources, right?"
"You forgot that I am a pharmacist with a fairly good level of skill. As for magic stones, I have never lacked them since I joined the academy."
Hearing such a matter-of-fact statement, Pernie was speechless. She stared at him with red eyes full of envy. It seemed that apart from her natural fourth-rate talent, she was completely useless compared to him.
No wonder he could become a formal wizard in such a short time. While Pernie was in a daze, Ivan handed her a mental power recovery potion.
"I've seen your condition. It's not a big problem. You just need to rest for two or three days. This is a mental recovery potion. It will have some effect on your symptoms."
"As for the curse mark, I'm afraid I'll disappoint you. It will grow back, and there's currently no way to eradicate it."
Purney didn't bother to be polite with him. After taking the potion and putting it in her pocket, she rolled up her sleeves and looked at the empty spot where the original mark had been. There was indeed a familiar scent taking root inside.
What relieved her was that the curse power that had originally made her heart tremble had been sent away, leaving only the last trace.
"Tell me, can we believe what Toins said? The curse power is transmitted once every five years, and there are still three years left, as well as mutations, splitting and reproduction." Penny thought of other things and asked worriedly.
"Based on my understanding of Toins, it is very likely to be true. Even if there is a deviation, you should treat it as true. As you said just now, you only have one life and you can't be careless." Ivan replied.
After a pause of more than ten seconds, Penny nodded helplessly.
Seeing Ivan's expression unchanged, as if he was confident in his response, she opened her mouth slightly but ultimately did not ask any more private questions.
the next day.
The two cocoons had obviously grown a lot larger, especially the one that had received Toins' power, which had doubled in size from its original size and turned into an ellipsoidal shape.
Compared to it, the other change was much milder.
"Don't be so lazy these days, keep a close eye on them, and notify me immediately if there is any problem. Do you hear me?" Ivan was really worried about the first swift wood silkworm.
According to Randall, the greater the change, the more dangerous the metamorphosis will be. The metamorphosis of the first one looks like it is heading in an extreme direction, and it is unknown whether it can survive.
"Mumble." The Silkworm Queen nodded her head. Her confused look made people feel a little uneasy.
Ivan suddenly felt that he must find a helper as soon as possible, and the shadow ant servant would be a good choice.
Because she needed to rest, Pernie stayed in the Twin Towers temporarily. She would also take a look around the towers and take a walk to see the different scenery of the Mona Ant Colony Huts from the Leah Singer Shelter.
That night.
The moonlight poured down from the fortress of the ant land, bringing with it a gorgeous purple hue, and also shone on the twin towers.
In the meditation room, there was a slight knock outside. Ivan waved his hand and the door slowly opened.
"Is something wrong?"
"Come on."
Following Pernie, the two came to her temporary bedroom.
Perney turned around and closed the bedroom door. Her apprentice robe fell down, revealing her exquisite body. Her emerald green hair exuded a youthful and charming aura.
"Nice figure, Miss Penny." Ivan glanced and nodded in approval.
"Hmph! Don't pretend you don't understand." Purney glared at him charmingly and said calmly, "I don't like to owe favors to others. You are practicing so fast that it will be difficult for me to catch up. I have decided to repay you like this."
"Are you serious?" Ivan looked at her with a little confusion.
"It's already like this, how can it be false? Anyway, after embarking on the path of a wizard, I have no plan to marry anyone, but I have to have a companion. I think you are pretty good and I like you. What about you? You are a wizard now, you won't look down on me as your apprentice, right?"
As Perney spoke, she walked closer, her pair of expressive eyes filled with endless affection.
"You are not bad either. This wizard likes you." Ivan put his arm around her waist and moved his face closer.
In fact, wizards have never been a conservative group, especially after becoming official wizards.
According to universal characteristics, the higher the level of the life hierarchy, the more difficult it is for creatures to reproduce, and wizards are no exception. In addition, due to changes in strength and lifespan, wizards rarely follow the rules to get married and have children.
In the eyes of many wizards, love is not as reliable as knowledge, and a marriage contract is not trustworthy.
Not to mention male wizards finding lovers, many female wizards also have lovers. They are not just from the human race. There are some such female wizards in the Mona Ant Huts.
Ivan is not a wizard who follows the rules.
After making this choice, Penny stayed in the Mona Ant Colony cabin for a few more days and hung out with Ivan.
A week later, Pernie decided to return to Leah Singer's Shelter. Seeing that she was determined to leave, Ivan did not try to keep her.
"I plan to return to Tidal Island in a few days."
"What are you going back for? That's right, you have to go back once you become a wizard."
"Not only am I going back to visit my relatives, I need the breathing method of the legendary knight, and I am going to look for it over there."
"Bring me a letter to my uncle."
On this day, Ivan sent Penny on a ship to the Rainbow Tide River, so that she could take the ship back to the Leah Singer Sanctuary.
Not long after Penny left the Twin Towers, the two Swiftwood Silkworms were in the final stages of their metamorphosis, and Ivan had to pay more attention to their changes.
