Chapter 385: Seeking Help
Chapter 385: Seeking Help
"The centaur has transformed into a human form?"
"No, she was originally a genuine human, a descendant of the royal family of the Tide Empire. It's just that she went through a series of irreversible changes and can't turn back into a human."
"That--"
"Send her a piece of clothing first."
"oh oh."
After Helen put on the long dress, except that her skin was so pale that it looked a little different from that of a normal person, she looked like a noble lady of fifteen or sixteen years old.
There are many people with strange looks in the wizarding world, but this will not affect her daily life.
"Teacher." Helen walked over slowly, her face returning to its previous cold expression.
"Nothing else is wrong, right?"
"I'm very good."
"Okay, then. I'll check for you." Ivan looked her up and down and made his request without any hesitation. The check he was talking about was of course the kind that would go deep into her bones and soul.
Helen didn't refuse.
The changes inside her are undoubtedly even greater. The black blood that was about to solidify has now resumed its smooth flow, adding a different kind of vitality. Her royal bloodline has also been activated. No wonder she can turn back into a human form.
Ivan brought the Tidal Codex and ordered her to try to unlock the last few pages, but she failed.
Ivan was not disappointed about this.
It would be enough for him to absorb some blood aura. Once he reached the underground world, he would use the blood aura as a guide and perhaps he could find traces of the Centaurs.
"How is it? Is Helen's situation better after her promotion than mine?" Seeing that he had finished his investigation, Jiushi couldn't help but ask.
"That's right. It should be due to the power just now." Ivan understood what she meant. Helen also relied on external forces to get promoted. Her potential should have been seriously damaged, but the situation was different from what was expected.
Helen's potential was damaged to a moderate degree, much better than Jiushi's original situation.
"I knew it. It must be your contribution, Ivan. The rune magic formation just now is clearly different from the previous ones." Jiusiti muttered.
"Haha, I was a level two wizard before, and now I'm a level three wizard. Other aspects have not stagnated either." Ivan said with a smile.
The means contained in the Black Demon Nirvana Cocoon Formation can certainly help wizards to advance. He has not systematically experimented with the specific effects, so it is not known for the time being. This kind of thing requires time to think about and verify.
"Okay, let's all go down and rest."
Seeing that she wanted to ask something else, Ivan didn't give her the chance.
What Jiushi wanted to ask was nothing more than the matter of promotion to the second-level wizard. Ivan himself didn't know the answer, so he had no way to answer her question. When he was able, he would plan it for her, and she couldn't be forced.
After returning to the laboratory from the testing field, Ivan counted his gains.
[Witchcraft Civilization: lv3 (190/300)]
There is a new subject on the academic master's panel. The new subject directly skips levels 0, 1, and 2 and goes straight to level 3, which is equivalent to an increase of experience points.
This discipline was born out of the spread of the wizard system, and the way to improve it is nothing more than teaching meditation methods to other alien races, and even teaching creatures from other worlds, so as to spread the wizard cultivation civilization.
This is really not an easy thing to do, especially when it comes to large-scale dissemination, which may very likely violate the rules of the upper echelons.
"There's no rush."
Ivan shook his head slightly. He would never act recklessly just because someone in the upper class thought highly of him.
New disciplines are destined to be difficult to improve.
He looked at other subjects, and his experience points in biology, meditation, and energy particle science had increased significantly in recent months. Among them, energy particle science had been upgraded to level 10, bringing a great light of wisdom.
In addition to the changes in subjects on the panel, he could also sense that the period of mental fatigue had been shortened by more than half, and would be completely eliminated in a few months.
These are all unexpected surprises.
Time flies by.
A week later, after Helen cooperated with the blood experiment, Ivan sent her to move to the Black Ant Tower to keep Jushi and the others company. He didn't like being a "babysitter".
Twenty days later, under the witness of Ivan and Ze Yi, the Fire Scorpion was about to break out of its shell.
The insect eggs were originally more than one meter high, but after a series of cultivation by Ivan, they are now almost three meters high. Hot air constantly emanates from them, making the temperature in the laboratory unusually high.
"Crack, crack, crack--" At this moment, cracks appeared on the shell, accompanied by crisp shattering sounds. The cracks continued to expand and expand until they spread throughout the entire insect egg.
"Wizard Ivan, be careful."
"It doesn't matter."
The fire energy on the insect eggs rose rapidly and was about to explode. Ivan waved his hand and summoned a layer of protective power from the wizard tower, covering the insect eggs.
There was a loud bang and flames surged, flooding every inch of space within the protective layer.
As the fire slowly died down, a figure with a long tail held high emerged from the flames. Its appearance gradually became clearer, and finally a large scorpion with a completely red body was revealed.
The scorpion's tail has eye-catching black lines, which can be seen to be a transformation of the "Flame Demon" pattern.
"It's too exaggerated that it was born as a level three creature." Ze Yi looked at it in amazement.
"The Ancient Tree's Spine has been cultivated by the academy for nearly twenty years, and it has integrated so many rare construction materials. It is not surprising that it has such a powerful realm." Ivan said.
It’s not that these creatures find it easier to grow, but that after being cultivated and formulated by wizards, they have saved a lot of unnecessary twists and turns. Otherwise, if they rely on themselves, it will take them an unknown amount of time to grow.
After the flames were completely extinguished, the Fire Scorpion crawled over with its two pincers raised and its scorpion tail swaying.
"Boss." It shouted excitedly to the swamp ants.
"Why do you call me that? Go and meet Wizard Ivan." The swamp ant was frightened by it and quickly told it who was the real boss here.
The Flame Scorpion complied with the greeting.
"Marsh Ant, why don't you name it?" Ivan didn't mind. The contract had been signed long ago anyway. The Marsh Ant had been hatching for such a long time, it was natural for the Flame Scorpion to be intimate with it.
"It's not right, it's not right."
"It's up to you. Then call me 'Fire Scorpion'."
Seeing Ze Yi shirking his responsibility, Ivan casually gave him a simple name.
Judging from the unstable aura, the Fire Scorpion should be a restless and active guy, and it is more reassuring to have the Swamp Ant around.
After testing, it was found that the Fire Scorpion has a total of four innate abilities: Golden Flame Shears, Fire Demon Poison Stake, Lava Body, and Lava Boat.
Through this incubation and transformation, the semi-biological construction technique cultivated a talent that could transform into a ferry made of underground lava, which was exactly what Ivan needed.
Now, his preparations were basically complete.
However, the Fire Scorpion had just hatched from its shell, its breath was still unstable, and it was not proficient in controlling its strength, so it would take some time to consolidate its power.
……
Time passes day by day.
On that day, two figures arrived at Xunmu Tower in a disheveled state, asking to see Ivan by name. One of them claimed to be Ivan's old friend.
The two were taken to the reception room on the fifth floor of the wizard tower.
A moment later, Ivan came into the hall and the two men hurried forward to greet him.
"Camille, Heidi, why are you two here in Dongdu?" Ivan was somewhat surprised when he saw the brother and sister in front of him.
"Your Excellency Great Elder Ivan, please consider the friendship we had when we were apprentices and save my Lydia's family." Cam said with a sad face.
"What's going on? Could it be that someone is attacking Qianguang City in the Blood Corridor?" Ivan asked puzzled.
“It’s not that someone is attacking, but Mond Wakin is doing evil. He has gathered people from three families to set up a special formation, claiming that he has found a suitable path for everyone, and there is a high probability that he will help everyone be promoted to the second-level wizard.
The result was just the opposite. He was just trying to cultivate blood with formations and people for the sake of his own witchcraft, and he didn't hesitate to cause a tragedy in the world." Kame explained.
"Lydia, Steele, and Wagin, the three families started intermarriage a long time ago, and their bloodlines have long been indistinguishable." Heidi added on behalf of her brother.
Hearing these words, Ivan was stunned for a moment. Has the blood transformation reached this level?
When a dying man is about to speak kindly, there is no such saying in the wizarding world. Once a wizard becomes distorted, he can often fall below the bottom line of other people's cognition.
If even the blood of the same human family can be used by him, considering that Dean Wakin's life span is coming to an end, he may really do such a cruel thing in order to gain a glimmer of survival and to gain higher-level power.
