Warlock of the Magus World

Chapter 68: Return to Polar Night City

Views:

"The position of the eyes is the source of life of the Manxter giant snake. It seems that this giant snake is really about to die!"

Looking at the giant snake whose breath of life was gradually disappearing, Melfil said sadly.

"Look out, old friend!" Leylin found himself unable to say any comforting words for Melfil's sadness.

After all, the casualties this time were too heavy. There were nearly thirty people in the group, the Black Iron Guards were all wiped out, and he was the only wizard apprentice who was familiar with Melfele.

Moreover, the city lord, the grand knight Viscount Jackson, is also seriously injured now, and his life is unknown.

The source of everything is this Manxter giant snake! ! !

"Citadel? That's right! Leylin, go and see Jackson!" Melfil patted his forehead.

"You just thought of it now?" Leylin was a little speechless, he walked around the giant snake's body and came to the other side.

Viscount Jackson was lying on his back on the ground, his chest was sunken, and there was blood at the corner of his mouth. He had fallen into a coma.

Leylin checked quickly: "Three ribs are broken, hands and feet are broken, and everything else is fine. With the physique of a great knight, he can wake up in a few hours!"

"That's good! That's the only good news I've heard today!"

Melfeller walked up to the lifeless giant snake, "This seems to be a juvenile Manxter, if it's an adult withered giant snake, when we enter this cave, I'm afraid the whole body will be wet. Drained to death!"

The head of the Manxter snake fell directly on the ground, and one eyeball had been pierced by the triangular pyramid, and crystal eye fluid flowed out.

"Even so, the materials on this giant snake are at least worth thousands of magic stones!"

Melfil stroked the giant snake's huge khaki-colored scales, muttering to himself.

Sudden! Max's other eye opened! The eyes full of hatred shot directly at Melfiel, opened the snake kiss, and the sharp fangs were about to bite Melville directly into two pieces.

This giant snake is not completely dead yet! ! !

I have been playing dead before, but now I finally showed my sharp fangs, and I want to kill these hateful humans directly!

Faced with this sudden attack, Melfil seemed to be stunned, motionless.

"careful!"

Just when the snow-white teeth were about to bite Melfil, a silver chain flew over suddenly, wrapped around Melfill's waist, and pulled him out of the attack range.

A black arrow directly shot into the other eyeball of the giant snake, and Manxter kept twisting the giant snake's body, and finally stopped moving.

call! call! call!

Melfeller panted violently: "Ley...Leylin, thank you! I owe you my life!"

"It's all right! You helped me a lot before, didn't you?" Leylin stared at the giant snake with a smile, and finally heaved a long sigh of relief when the prompt sounded "The target has completely lost any signs of life!" from the chip. .

Under the detection of Leylin's chip, although the giant snake before had no energy fluctuations, it still had a thermal reaction.

Of course, for many creatures, it will take some time after death to completely lose heat energy.

But Leylin stepped up his vigilance because of this, and consciously or unintentionally led Melfield forward, and finally discovered the truth about the giant snake's fake death!

"It's a pity! If this Manxter was really dead before, one of its eyeballs would definitely be worth more than a thousand magic stones, and now the value of the whole corpse is greatly reduced..."

Leylin was a little helpless, and looked at Melfield who was on the side.

"Regarding the attack just now, you didn't even dodge it, which really surprised me!"

An abnormal blush appeared beside Melfele's cheeks: "After using the rune chain, my mental power and magic power will fall into a period of silence. During this period of time, I am just an ordinary mortal old man..."

For Leylin who had just saved his life, Melfiler now trusted him so much that he even shared such a secret without reservation.

"Okay! Let's quickly collect the materials on this Manxter, and then return to Polar Night City!"

Leylin surveyed the messy surroundings. As for the corpses on the ground, the three of them had no way to carry them. They could only call someone to collect the corpses after returning to Extreme Night City.

The Manxter giant snake is completely dead, and there shouldn't be any danger in this area in the future.

"Hehe... Leylin, you have contributed the most this time, and you should choose the best materials!" Melfil smiled lightly.

As for this Manxter giant snake, Leylin didn't have any intention of killing Melfeller and completely taking it for himself.

Melfeller's previous help was on the one hand, and on the other hand, there were only two wizards, he and Melfeller, so he would definitely be able to monopolize a large part of the resources without taking the risk of killing people.

The most valuable material of the entire Manxter giant snake is its eyes, and the rest of the material is only worth about one or two thousand magic stones, which cannot seduce Leylin.

If the current ones are rare materials worth tens of thousands of magic stones, then maybe Leylin will have some bad ideas.

"Good scales, plus snake skin, should be able to make a lot of soft armor!" Leylin stepped forward, drew out the cross sword, and began to dismember the Manxter giant snake, with Melfele helping.

After some busy work, Leylin and Melfiler took off some of the most valuable materials from the giant snake first. As for the rest, they can only be collected and transported later with the help of the castellan's mansion.

Gululu... The sound of the axle rolling continued, and Viscount Jackson opened his eyes.

"Am I still...alive?" In the end, there was a starry sky, and the body was floating and sinking with the carriage.

Viscount Jackson found that his chest had been bandaged, and a cool feeling dispelled the pain, and the treatment was very professional.

"Who saved me?" Viscount Jackson turned his head around this question in his mind.

"My lord! You're finally awake!" A face with a white beard and eyebrows appeared before Jackson's eyes.

"How is it? Do you still have any previous memories?" Melfiler shook his finger in front of Jackson.

"Did you save me? What happened to the others?" Viscount Jackson struggled and said, his voice was hoarse like a dilapidated bellows.

"It wasn't me, it was Your Excellency Leylin who saved you!" Melfil pointed to Leylin who was driving ahead, "The whole team, there are only three of us left... After leaving the forest, I found this place with great difficulty." A convertible…”

"Are they all dead?" Jackson shook his head, and a wordless sadness appeared in his heart.

"Master Viscount! It seems that you are safe!" Leylin turned his head and threw out a bottle of green potion: "This is a healing potion, I hope it will be useful to you!"

Melfil caught it, pointed the mouth of the potion bottle to Jackson's lips, and fed him to drink.

After taking the potion, Viscount Jackson only felt a rush of heat rolling in his chest and limbs, and he also gained some strength.

"For Your Excellency Leylin's generosity and life-saving grace, I will definitely repay you when I go back!"

"If possible, please give me all the Hof purple leaves in the City Lord's Mansion, that would be the best repayment for me!" Leylin made a request without hesitation.

"Of course!" Jackson was taken aback, and immediately agreed.

As the carriage continued to move forward, the outline of Extreme Night City gradually appeared in front of it.

Some soldiers are still sticking to their posts, carefully checking the flow of people passing by.

Jackson looked at the scenery in the distance, his eyes were sore, and two lines of tears finally flowed down...

Most of the teams organized by the City Lord's Mansion to explore the withered forest were wiped out, and the news that even Viscount Jackson, who was a great knight, was seriously injured immediately caused an uproar in Extreme Night City.

Even after two days, the news did not subside, but continued to spread in all directions.

As the lord of Polar Night City, Viscount Jackson has been suppressing all kinds of darkness with the strength of a great knight, but after the news of his injury spread, a wave of undercurrents quickly rippled in Polar Night City.

At this time, the strength of the City Lord's Mansion was greatly reduced, and even some of the wizard apprentices who had good intentions towards Jackson died. Jackson, who was gradually recovering from his injuries, had to deal with these, and he couldn't help but feel a little bit burnt out.

Leylin, who lives in the manor outside the city, has heard a little about these things.

But since he came back from the adventure, he has been staying in the laboratory. For this reason, he rejected invitations from the City Lord's Mansion and many forces.

Under the bright light, Leylin fixed his eyes on a petri dish.

On the glass surface of the Petri dish, a small piece of red meat was constantly expanding, and many tentacles-like things had grown out of it.

Leylin picked up another dropper and dropped a drop of yellow medicine on the meat.

Bark! ! ! The piece of meat melted instantly, turning into a pool of bright red with yellow blood.

"It's finally purified, the most primitive blood of the giant snake!" Leylin looked at the petri dish, as if he saw the most precious treasure in the world.

"Chip! Check the ingredients!"

"Ding! Mission established, detection..."

"The genetic profile of primitive blood cells is completed, and the database is being compared..."

"Ding! The genetic similarity between this blood and the common python blood: 99.8%! It is judged to be common python blood! It has undergone post-transformation, and a new type of gene appeared..."

The chip continuously reported conclusions, and projected two genetic profiles in front of Leylin's eyes.

Judging from the two colored pictures, the original blood of the Manxter snake that Leylin saw before was actually the same as that of an ordinary giant python.

"Sure enough! This giant python is definitely the product of a wizard's experiment!" Leylin nodded. He still remembered the slogan given after the chip detected the giant python on the spot, and the "semi-adult" behind the name is still fresh in his memory.

However, if there is no detection method that is accurate to the atomic level, Leylin will not be able to discover the mystery, and it is even more impossible for other wizards to discover the difference.

"Two days have passed, it should have calmed down there!"

After Leylin informed his subordinates that a long-term experiment was going to be carried out and that nothing would disturb them, he left the manor secretly.
