In the dark iron-packed gate, screams rang out. Lance stood outside the door, waiting patiently.
He held the deadly banshee compressed to the size of a fist in his hand, and his eyes were unscrupulously observing her physiological structure.
The deadly banshee was tied tightly by the silver net, so she could only let Lance do whatever she wanted.
Lance stretched out a finger and opened all the tentacles of the deadly banshee's lower body through the silver net, revealing the miserable white organs inside.
It was a wriggling round internal organ, which looked similar to the structure of a human heart, but the banshee's internal organ had many small holes on the outside, and there were flesh walls outside the holes. It opened and closed, and looked very strange.
"This place is where the soul of the deadly banshee is located." Lance narrowed his eyes and studied her body structure, and the curiosity in his eyes became stronger and stronger.
Ancient creatures like this artificially restored are still very different from the real deadly banshee. The latter has some special abilities that the former does not have, but from a structural perspective, there is actually not much difference between the two. This is what Lance is curious about.
This silver net, named [Mesh Magic Catcher], is a very practical and disposable magic item. Mesh magic catcher has a good binding force on many monsters and can often limit their strength to capture the target. However, only a very skilled alchemist can make such things. Judging from the rough workmanship, this thing should be made by Laughren himself.
The Deadly Banshee screamed in anger, as if she was very dissatisfied with Lance playing with her body unscrupulously. Unfortunately, her abilities were limited by the magic trap, and the screams that originally had certain mental shock ability also turned into a low "shenyin". Although Lance herself was studying academic issues very seriously, in the eyes of several maids on the side, the scene was undoubtedly a bit lewd and scary.
They stood there tremblingly, afraid that the wizard in front of them would turn their eyes to them.
After a while, Lance had basically studied the physiological structure of the banshee's appearance, and then took out a potion bag and put her in. This potion bag can not only temporarily store some magic plants, but also be used to hold some small monsters.
At this moment, the screams inside the iron gate stopped abruptly. Lance's eyes lit up and he looked at the gate.
Soon, the door creaked open, and Laucrom walked out with great strides, his expression calm. It didn't seem like he had just punished his son severely.
“We have a month.”
Laughren looked at Lance calmly: "One day in a month, probably when the illusion star passes by the zodiac sign of the Snake in the sky, the Flower Scorpion Society will hold an evil ceremony. At that time, Monica and Solo will be taken by them to the highest mountain at the headquarters of the Flower Scorpion Society to perform the ceremony."
"What is the purpose of this ceremony?" Lance asked.
This evil ritual has such high requirements for the environment and actually needs to cooperate with specific astrological signs. It is probably a grand scene.
Laughren shook his head: "It's unknown so far, but no matter what. Monica and Solo Jr. should be safe before this ceremony."
"Frankly, Mr. Lance, I do need your help." He said straight to the point:
"You said you wanted to make a deal with me, so now, we can talk about it carefully."
...
In the Golden Lion's study, the two of them sat across the table, looking directly at each other.
"What I lack most now is time. So I don't want too many roundabout words during the negotiations." Laughren narrowed his eyes and looked at Lance: "Before talking about the specific conditions, I want to know, how much kindness do you come to help me with? Or Monica and Solo?"
"Sir, it's not easy to measure things like goodwill. I prefer to use practical things as bargaining chips for trading."
Lance's fingertips gently tapped the desk and said calmly: "I need knowledge and witchcraft, if you can provide me with these two things and enough. I think I can help you a lot."
"Anyone wants to gain knowledge and witchcraft from me." Laughren shook his head and said, "I do have a lot of wealth in my hands, which are indispensable resources for wild wizards. If you want to get what you want from me, you must give a solution that will make me excited."
Lance took a deep breath and looked at Laughren and said, "I already have a plan. I know that you are powerful and rich enough to compete with a country, but I still need to remind you that, like me, I am willing to help you fight against the second-level wizard of the Flower Scorpion Society, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the entire Kurosawa field. I know that the two craftsmen of the Silver Light have a close relationship with you, but in this war, the two wizards also chose to avoid... You should understand what I mean."
Laughren was silent for a moment, showing a helpless smile:
"Okay, let me tell you your plan, as long as I don't go too far, I'll consider it."
...
After half a day, Lance walked out of Laughren's study exhausted, but there was a hint of satisfaction in his eyes.
The negotiations were not as straightforward as Laughren said. Lance asked himself that the bargaining chips were already very sincere, but the experienced Golden Lion still tried to lower his value and exchange for less effort for Lance's help.
This attitude was naturally dissatisfied and boycotted by Lance. Both sides fought for a whole afternoon before they completely finalized the cooperation matter.
However, although it lasted for so long, Lance also knew that during the negotiation process, the initiative was always in his own hands. Although Laughren was powerful, he was only one person after all. As Lance said, he was almost the only second-level wizard in the entire Kurosawa who dared to fight against the Flower Scorpion Society for Wadenburg. No matter what Laughren said, this cannot be erased.
Once Lance quits, it will be difficult for him to rescue Monica and Solo from the headquarters of the Flower Scorpion Society alone.
So Lance was quite satisfied with the final transaction result.
"Laokelun's surgery. With some preliminary preparations, it's a bit nervous in one month."
He walked all the way back to the room that Laughren arranged for him, thinking in his mind.
This suite is not only gorgeously decorated, but also fully functional, equipped with a meditation room and a laboratory, and even a dedicated spell test site, which satisfyes Reims very much.
In the next month, he must be fully prepared in this room. In the deal between the two parties, the most important thing that Lance needs to pay is his own strength. In a month, the two will leave Wadenburg and go to the headquarters of the Flower Scorpion Society to rescue Monica and Solo before the ceremony.
To be honest, Lance was still a little upset about the matter of directly taking the headquarters of the Flower Scorpion Society. After all, after seeing the power of the Death Scorpion, he did not dare to underestimate any second-level wizard of the Flower Scorpion Society. However, after Laughren said his plan, Lance decided to gamble. In this rescue plan, Laughren himself took most of the risks, and the pressure that Lance had to face was much smaller.
If you miss this opportunity, you may not know how much time it will take to get the same benefits.
Lance doesn't want to waste too much time on these things anymore. If you want to get rewards, you must make enough efforts. This is a very simple truth.
...
Under the bright light, Lance made himself a cup of strong coffee and sat quietly at the desk.
There were already two scrolls on the table, one golden and the other pure white. There was no doubt that these two scrolls were the second-level witchcraft learning scrolls that Lance blackmailed from Laurkren. In addition, there were three magic items that Lance had obtained so far. At this time, they were all placed in his Arcane Ring.
This time his deal with Laughren actually included two aspects. The first aspect was to assist the Golden Lion in rescuing his daughter and grandson. The latter gave a reward of ten witchcraft learning scrolls or knowledge of equivalent value. Two of the remuneration were advance to Lance, which is the two he had now; and on the other hand, it was a small amount of fog dragon spinal cord that Laughren purchased from Lance.
The number of this mist dragon spinal cord is not large, about one-third of the entire glass bottle. After informing Lance of his plan, Laughren began to prepare to remove the toxins in his body - he actually started planning this plan very early, but the conditions in all aspects are not very mature. So he has not taken action.
Now, not to mention that Monica and Solo's lives require Laughren to return to their fullest level, and even if they continue to drag on, Laughren's redemption pearl could no longer suppress the outbreak of toxins. He had to take risks in advance to remove these toxins. In this extremely risky operation, he needed a large number of items to restore vitality. After Lance learned about this, he immediately proposed the deal.
That is, one-third of the bottle of the mist dragon spinal cord was exchanged for two powerful magical items in Laughren's hand.
To be fair, although the spinal cord of the Fog Dragon is extraordinary, the demonized items given by Laughlen are not ordinary things. For one or two, and it is one-third of the bottle, Lance himself felt a little disgusted.
However, Laughlen himself seemed to care about these demonized items, and rarely agreed to Lance's request generously. Lance guessed the reason later. On the one hand, it was because of the demonized items and witchcraft, and the knowledge was different. This thing could be used immediately after getting it. It can directly increase Lance's strength and greatly increase the success rate of the rescue plan; on the other hand, he really urgently needed the fog dragon spinal cord to make powerful potions to restore vitality.
There are two magic items, one is the second-level middle-level magic item, and the other is the second-level high-level magic item, with a considerable total value.
The first one is [Sealing Ring], which is a bronze ring with an ordinary appearance, and there is even a little sign of rust on it. However, when Lance put it in the palm of his hand, the ring was indeed filled with a strong aura of magic factors. The standard second-stage mid-stage.
There are three runes on the seal ring, and each seal rune corresponds to an independent seal space. At this time, the three seal spaces on the ring are full, and there are three creatures sealed inside, namely crows, black cats and dolphins. These three creatures are different from ordinary pets. They can share their vision with the owner of the seal ring, which has a very concealment and strong survivability, which is extremely suitable for reconnaissance.
"Crow, black cat and dolphin, all-round investigation teams from sea, land and air."
Lance was very satisfied with the function of this ring. With this ring, you don’t have to take risks when investigating in the future.
The second one is [Macon Sword]. From the appearance, this thing is a pitch-black umbrella with nothing on the black tarpaulin. But in fact, in addition to being part-time as a cane, this umbrella is also a magical and powerful magical staff! It is completely different from ordinary staff. The appearance of the Macon Sword is very weird, and the umbrella-shaped appearance is also extremely deceptive.
This second-level high-level staff has a terrifying spell strength increase effect. After Lance got it, he tested it a little and found that the strength of the ordinary fireball technique has increased by almost 80% under the bonus of the staff. Even among the second-level magic items, this is a very sharp effect.
In addition, Macon's sword also comes with three spells, namely [Fluorescence], [Eye of the Mage] and [Tap Dance of the Benchers]. The effects of the first two spells are naturally needless to say, they are very useful auxiliary spells, while the last spell is a summoning technique that can summon more than a group of bench monsters to attack the enemy. The tap dance of each bench monster has very good trampling ability. Ordinary advanced apprentices who encounter these bench monsters may not be opponents.
These two magic items are very practical. They are likely to be used in subsequent battles, so Lance spent some time proficient in their use.
...
The two scrolls on the table are Lance's main target for the next month.
"The second-level spell of force field type [cutting] and the lightning-type spell [Ultra Lightning Chain]. These two spells are single-body attacks and group attacks, and have paralysis effects. The spell strength is good. And it is very suitable for me to learn now."
After thinking about it, Lancell decided to start with the latter. There are still four dragon-killing arrows left, which should still meet the requirements of single-body attacks; and he has always lacked the methods of group attacks. Although he added some magic flying needle casting materials to Wadenburg, this spell has great limitations, that is, it must be activated at close range.
This Ultraland Lightning Chain is a typical energy-shaping spell, powerful attack power, excellent auxiliary effect, and very fast activation speed. The only disadvantage is that it will consume a lot of magic power. However, for Lance, magic power is exactly what is most lacking.
The spell runes of the second-level witchcraft seem much more complicated.
It is basically composed of several rune groups, and the difficulty of analysis alone has increased by many times. Fortunately, Lance's mental power has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has a stronger insight into this aspect. As his understanding of the essence of witchcraft becomes more profound, he can also ask the fox to set up several mini programs to help with the calculation in some cumbersome calculations, thus greatly saving time.
"The spell rune group of second-level witchcraft is already so huge. It is said that when it reaches the third-level wizard realm, what needs to be built with mental power is not plane runes, but three-dimensional spell models, analysis, calculation, and construction difficulty increases geometrically. If you cannot conduct a more profound study of the essence of witchcraft runes before that and master the [spell secrets] in various fields, you may waste most of your time just learning witchcraft."
"On the contrary, if I can figure out the essential logic and rules of the witchcraft runes or models, I can let the fox replace most of the work in this regard. Although I still have to do the construction of the last part myself, the previous analysis process can be omitted, and maybe it can also optimize the spell runes and spell models, and directly select refined or even perfect spell runes."
"Although standard spell runes like this are stable, they are too modest in all aspects. It is a bit of a waste to not highlight my advantage of sufficient magic."
Lance kept thinking while analyzing the rune group of [Outland Lightning Chain].
Time passes minute by minute.
...
Two weeks later, Lance successfully completed the analysis of the rune group of Ultraland Lightning Chain and began to enter the memory stage. As a result, I don’t know if it was because of his increased mental power. The complex rune group was successfully recorded by Lance and was deeply imprinted in his mind, as firm as other simple runes.
Next, he spent two days building the mental rune of the Lightning Chain Rune Group for the first time. The first level 2 witchcraft rune he learned on his own finally emerged in his brain.
But at this time, he had to stop the work at hand and leave his room.
He came to Laucrone's study and successfully entered the secret room behind the screen.
At this moment, the clean and spacious secret room had been prepared, and bright lights filled every corner of the room. A wizard in white nodded at Lance.
Laughren walked over from the other side in a thin dress and asked in a low voice: "Are you ready?"
The wizard in white nodded.
The old man no longer hesitated, but sat on a white operating table. The shape of this operating table is very strange, with protruding on both sides and concave in the middle, and the shape is more like a coffin.
Lance watched all this quietly without making any sound.
This is also one of the conditions for Lance to agree to reach a deal with Laughren - being able to observe the entire process of the latter's surgery to remove his own toxins.
For Lance, he was curious about how Laughren would use to remove toxins from his body. After all, the toxins of the poison dragon are almost irresistible to humans. It is already a miracle that he can hold on for so many years.
