Chapter 23 The quota is top
(Please add to bookshelf)
Li Luo slowly walked towards the body of the vampire wizard apprentice named Akaner. After pulling out the dagger that was deeply inserted into his eye socket, he rubbed the dagger against the vampire's body in disgust. Then he seemed to think of something.
He slapped his head and looked like he felt stupid.
Looking at the clean dagger, Li Luo shook his head and used the dagger to cut open the vampire's left chest.
Then, a black heart was revealed in front of his eyes, but the blood vessels around the heart were gray-blue, as if there was some energy flowing inside it. After observing carefully for a moment and not finding anything wrong, Li
Luo carefully used a dagger to dissect the black heart. At the same time, a gelatinous substance the size of a thumb appeared in front of his eyes.
The gelatinous substance was blood-red, without the black-red color of vampire blood, and exuded a tantalizing scent of blood, which actually gave Li Luo an urge to swallow it immediately.
But the mental sea in Li Luo's mind trembled for a while, and he immediately woke up from this huge impulse. He was so frightened that his back was soaked with sweat.
Judging from the weirdness of this blood-red jelly, it must be the blood crystal condensed from the essence of the vampire that Merlin said.
After carefully putting it away, he rummaged through the body for a while, took out a black leather bag, put it away, and ran to Merlin's alchemy house in the city.
Not long after he left, several men in black carried Akaner's body onto a stand and galloped away. The speed was no less than that of a low-level knight attendant who had activated the fighting spirit seeds.
.
.......
On the city wall, Rand issued a series of orders to dispose of the corpses, and then took the time to lead the people and ran in the direction of Akaner's death in the distance. But when he came to the scene, it was empty, except for a deep bomb that had been bombed.
Except for the pit and the bones and debris on the ground, nothing could be found.
Rand frowned, then with a flash of anger, he threw a kettle aside with force, and then led the people back to the town.
At this time, Li Luo had returned to Merlin's alchemy room, and the two began to discuss the vampire wizard's blood crystal.
"Li Luo, I feel ashamed to talk about this potential potion. It was the refining method taught to me by my pharmacist father. Originally, it was a potion that could only be successfully refined by learning intermediate basic pharmaceutics. However, because I was young,
I don't think about making progress, and I haven't learned basically one page of basic intermediate potion. However, I know the hard refining techniques and steps of this potion by heart, so I am somewhat sure that the refining will be successful." Merlin looked at Lu.
Human Blood Crystal said slowly.
Hearing this, Li Luo despised the nominal potion teacher in his heart, and suggested: "Teacher, why don't you tell me the refining techniques in detail? I know some other heretical potion knowledge, which may be useful here.
Woolen cloth."
Merlin fell silent, seeming to be reminiscing about something. After a moment, he organized his words and said: "This vampire blood crystal can only be condensed by a vampire who is a wizard. It is a condensed thing of energy and spirit, but because it contains
A large amount of blood-colored energy must be removed by using a second-level basic medicine called the Radiant Mixture before it can be absorbed by our human race...and..."
Listening to Merlin's refining techniques and introduction, Li Luo began to deduce based on the potion knowledge he had learned.
The time passed by the two of them discussing and experimenting together, and in the blink of an eye a week had passed.
In the laboratory, two test tubes of light purple medicine were placed on the experimental table. Merlin stared at the two medicines closely.
"Li Luo, do you think the two potential potions refined according to the method we calculated will have any side effects? After all, they are somewhat different from those refined by the teacher." Merlin looked worried.
, but there was an extremely longing look on his expression.
Li Luo did not answer immediately. He pondered for a moment and said, "I think it's okay to drink it. Not to mention that we have verified it through a lot of experiments. Even if this medicine has side effects, they should be very small. You and I are not ordinary people."
Man, at worst, we can just drink a bottle of crimson potion as a precaution."
When Merlin heard this, he thought it was reasonable, so he couldn't wait to drink a bottle of crimson potion, and then drank one of the potion potions in one gulp.
The next moment, his body shook and he fell to the ground.
Li Luo quickly supported him, took out instruments one by one, and began to check his physical data. The quill in Li Luo's hand kept moving, and he continued to write paragraphs of data on the paper. It was not until Merlin's breathing stabilized that he
Stopped.
At this moment, Li Luo let out a big sigh of relief, and with a certain idea in his mind, he continued to add a certain liquid on the side to the light purple potion.
After a while, although the color of the light purple potion in his hand did not change, it was very different from the one just now. According to Li Luo's inference, at this time, the potency of this bottle of potential potion was not only improved a lot.
, even the side effects are reduced by more than 30%.
He didn't hesitate anymore. After drinking a bottle of crimson potion, he drank the light purple potion in his hand. At the same time, he lay on the bed beside him and gradually closed his eyes.
Li Luo only felt that he had had a dream. He returned to that blue planet and lived happily with his parents and younger brother. In the dream, he felt extremely comfortable and warm physically, and even extremely excited mentally, as if he was experiencing some kind of
Metamorphosis.
He didn't know how long he had been unconscious before he woke up. Looking at the empty laboratory, Li Luo simply sat down cross-legged and checked his physical condition.
First of all, the fighting spirit seeds in his body have more than tripled in size. When his fists are clenched tightly, they are 30% stronger than before. It is obvious that he has been promoted to a superior knight apprentice at this time. Secondly, there is a kind of turmoil in the spiritual sea.
He felt a swollen feeling, and each spiritual rune was emitting a dazzling light. It was obvious that his spiritual sea had reached the standard of the twelve spiritual runes engraved on the second-level wizard apprentice.
With his strength greatly increased, he was overjoyed, but a strange gurgling sound sounded discordantly, and at the same time, a feeling of extreme emptiness surged throughout his body.
He touched his belly, licked his mouth, and ran towards the canteen of the military camp.
Since there was no Long Ke to help him hunt down the ferocious beasts, Li Luo relied on his stomach skills to eat twenty plates of beef one after another, and his empty body felt a little fuller.
He then didn't waste any more time and started practicing as a second-class wizard apprentice.
Two weeks later, twenty-four spiritual runes were floating quietly around his spiritual sea. At the same time, the spiritual sea trembled and expanded by more than 30%. At this moment, Li Luo knew that after another week of
After the period of explosive spiritual power, he officially entered the realm of a second-class wizard apprentice.
Li Luo was naturally overjoyed that his strength had greatly increased, but he was also secretly grateful for his good luck. If it hadn't been for the flying knife hidden in his fireball technique that day, he might have become an undead wizard by now.
Just when Li Luo was congratulating himself on his luck, another piece of good news found him.
Lily came to his bedroom obediently and said loudly: "Brother Li Luo, Lord Longke is back. He asked me to tell you that Rand is looking for you."
Li Luo's eyes flashed when he heard this. He pinched Lily's cheek with joy and ran quickly to Rand's office.
After entering Rand's office, he found that Longke was also here.
After Li Luo entered the room, Rand didn't waste any time and said, "Li Luo, do you know the identity of the vampire that Merlin killed this time?"
"I don't know." Li Luo said calmly, and at the same time secretly murmured in his heart why Rand asked him this question. But if he thought carefully about Rand's work style and personality, he would never raise this question casually, fearing that it would involve
to many things that concern him.
Thinking of this, his face also lost the proud look of his newly promoted strength, and he said respectfully: "Sir, is it possible that he is still a vampire lord or something like that?"
Rand and Longke looked at each other and nodded, seemingly confirming each other's consensus.
"Brother Li Luo is indeed very smart. Yes, this Akaner has an unusual status. He can even be said to belong to a noble in the dark forces. This time you kill him, and I will report it to my father, our lord.
My lord, I can use this achievement to gain you the qualification to study at the Wizarding Academy."
Rand said slowly, taking a sip of tea in a leisurely manner.
He was not in a hurry, but Li Luo was immediately surprised and became anxious.
Li Luo asked with a slight trembling: "Lord Rand, what price do I need to pay? Is it just what I promised that day?"
Rand nodded and said: "Yes, but this time you have transformed the blood of my soldiers, and I have initially gained control of the withered cemetery three hundred miles away, which is Akaner's territory. But
It’s still not safe. I heard that you can also perform other blood transformations on soldiers. I hope you can teach these techniques to Merlin. In return, after Merlin obtains the techniques, I will immediately take you to the main city to meet my father Hawking.
Si, ask him to give you a qualification to study at the Wizarding Academy."
Li Luo was silent for a moment after hearing this, and after thinking about it carefully, there was no need for Rand to go back on his word, so he nodded and agreed.
"A month later, we will be in time for the auction in the main city. We will go together then and bring back Yalong's body and the qualifications for further study at the Wizard Academy." Before Li Luo left, Rand said loudly.
After Li Luo left the military camp, he immediately rushed to Merlin's laboratory and began to teach Merlin the genetic knowledge he had acquired in the form of bloodline knowledge. Some of the genetic modification technologies included were already mature. Although Merlin
Some parts are still difficult to understand, but the formulas, data and techniques for potion preparation are all laid out there. No matter how stupid Merlin is, he still memorizes all the knowledge and succeeds within two weeks.
conducted experiments.
Time passed quickly in the experiment, and a month passed like this.
Because the strength of the cemetery not far away had just been greatly weakened, so this time they went to Tap Rock City. Rand and Li Luo brought all the knights and attendants over. Lily wanted to gain more knowledge and wanted to follow.
Li Luo agreed to relieve his boredom. There were no dark forces entrenched in the main cities of Tap Rock City and Baishi Town, but they still brought five hundred elite soldiers. The reason was that they carried a large amount of gold coins.
In addition to Li Luo and Rand, there was also Lily sitting in the carriage. This was Li Luo's request, and Rand agreed.
Several knights and attendants were riding war horses. The soldiers in the team were walking on foot, and they were all carefully selected strong ones. There were many soldiers and well-equipped weapons and equipment. The bandits saw it from a distance and gave up the idea of plundering. Everyone
The journey was uneventful and we arrived at Tap Sic City.
Li Luo glanced left and right, looking at the magnificent city covering an area of 100 kilometers, and felt that the White Rock Town they were stationed in was simply a larger castle. Then Rand's words made Li Luo understand this.
The reasons for this.
"Brother Li Luo, when you see this city, do you feel a sense of being a human being? Hahaha, the Baishi Town where we are stationed is close to the dark forces and the Warcraft Forest, so the city is only built with a city wall.
A small town five kilometers wide was built there firstly to facilitate defense and secondly as an outpost. You see, the bustling crowds and caravans in the distance are the most precious wealth of our territory. With their tax revenue, we
Only if your practice is guaranteed." Approaching Tap Rock City, Rand burst out with pride and said proudly.
Li Luo naturally knows what it means to have guaranteed practice. According to Li Luo's understanding during this period, most of the practice resources are still purchased with gold coins.
Along the way, the soldiers guarding the city easily recognized Rand's identity. The team passed by bluestone houses and spacious streets without any hindrance, and gradually came to an extremely tall three-story bluestone house.
On the plaque above are written several otherworldly versions of large characters--"Tap Rock City Bank"
At Rand's signal, the soldiers stopped the horse-drawn wagon, and Rand carried boxes of boxes in with clanging boxes.
After a while, Rand walked out with a metal card engraved with certain patterns. He felt it carefully. There were bursts of elemental energy flowing on these lines. In addition, Rand walked out of the bank. Li Roman
I guessed what this metal card is. It must be a bank card.
After Rand deposited boxes of gold coins in his bank card, he placed the army in the military camp of Tap Rock City, and took Li Luo and several other knight attendants as well as Lily to the city lord's mansion.
It is said to be the city lord's palace, but it is a five-story tall fortress with an extremely wild shape. The top floor is in the shape of a huge dragon head, and the lower floor is slightly larger, but the walls are also carved into ferocious animal faces.
, Li Luo did not recognize it at all. Going down the list, Li Luo recognized the carved beast faces, which were just ordinary ferocious beasts. This fortress is located in the center of the entire Tap Rock City, and it looks like it is lying on countless bluestones.
It looks like a beast in the pile, giving people an extremely shocking visual impact.
The soldier guarding the gate naturally knew Rand, and Li Luo and others quickly entered the castle.
After entering the castle, Li Luo discovered that the outside looked like a barbaric shape, but the inside was in the style of a medieval art gallery. Oil paintings were hung on the walls, and beautiful paintings were placed at intervals under the walls.
The vase is filled with water and has a violet flower on it, which makes people feel relaxed and happy. But in addition to the oil paintings and vases, there are glass cabinets at regular intervals, which contain different items.
There was a paragraph of text written on the weapon. Li Luo took a rough look at it, and it meant that in a certain battle, the ancestors of the Hawkins family, or even himself, defeated the enemies and obtained the war trophies from them.
After Rand told the others to go to the back garden to enjoy the scenery, he led Li Luo toward the hall on the third floor where guests were received. There, there was the place where the Hawkins family held meetings.
Soon Li Luo followed Rand into the hall on the third floor. Li Luo found a middle-aged man with slightly white hair sitting on the main seat of the hall. On his side was a blond and blue-eyed man named Rand.
A young man of several years old, and next to this young man stood a boy with a horse face; and standing on the other side of the strong man was a strong man with a beard who seemed to be several years older than the young man on the other side. From this
Judging from the environment and the ages of the two men, Li Luo knew that one was Rand's second brother, and the other was the legal heir to this territory, Rand's eldest brother. And the middle-aged man sitting on the main seat must be
Lord Hawkins here is true.
"Hahaha, the good guys are all here. Rand, Brown, let's talk about your recent results." Hawkins looked around and said calmly.
"Ahem, let me talk first. Father." Rand was eager to take the credit and spoke first.
"In the past few months, I have trained a group of elite soldiers, captured a gold mine and two iron mines, and annihilated the invading undead army. One of the nobles from the dark forces was killed by this subordinate of mine and Merlin.
The wizards teamed up to kill him. Father, the vampire you fought against back then was Akaner."
"With all this, your men should have found out the actual situation of the withered cemetery three hundred miles away. I would like to use this achievement and the 20,000 gold coins I gave you earlier to ask you to hunt down a velociraptor for me and return the favor.
The only way is to give my subordinate the qualification to go to the Wizarding Academy for further study."
Rand finished all this quickly and stood quietly aside, waiting for Hawkins' reply.
After a while, instead of replying to Rand, Hawkins said to Brown: "Tell me about your achievements."
Brown curled his lips, glanced at Rand with a sarcastic look, turned around and performed an aristocratic gesture towards Hawkins. After Rand saw Brown's series of actions and expressions, he was stunned and frowned slightly, not knowing what he thought of.
What.
After the ceremony, Brown said: "Father, during this period, I trained many elite soldiers, directly captured the Blighted Cemetery, and killed the beast Akaner. This is his head, please take a look."
While speaking, Brown opened a cloth bag and walked towards Hawkins holding a pale head.
Li Luo took a closer look and his pupils shrank. The head was none other than the vampire Akaner he killed that day. At that time, he didn't care about the way the vampire's body was handled, and he didn't expect it to fall into Brown's hands. An unusual feeling.
A good premonition welled up in his heart, and at the same time a burst of anger burst out from the bottom of his heart, but he suppressed it by taking a deep breath.
After seeing the appearance of the head, Hawkins laughed loudly and said: "Okay, okay, Brown, you did a good job." Then he asked one after another: "Has the cemetery been destroyed? Has it been transformed into a town for our human race?
"
Brown nodded and said with a smile: "The transformation is still in progress, but the city wall has been built, and preliminary defense can be done. In the surrounding undead wasteland, I also spent a lot of money to plant grimacing grass. I believe it will be used
In a few years, it will be transformed into farmland capable of growing crops. But please give me more support from my father."
At this point, Brown glanced at Rand, pretending to be confused and said: "As for what the third brother said about killing Akaner, I don't understand what's going on. Maybe most vampires look the same. My brother must have admitted his mistake."
.”
Looking at Brown's hypocritical expression, Li Luo narrowed his eyes and his face gradually darkened.
Rand also stood aside gloomily, saying nothing. Now that the other party had evidence in hand, it was hard for him to say anything.
Hawkins turned to look at Rand. The corner of Rand's mouth twitched, his eyes turned cold, and he said in a deep voice: "Maybe I really saw it wrong."
Hawkins nodded, glanced at his two sons, and said calmly to Rand: "Well, that's good. Let's do this. The Velociraptor is easy to deal with. I'll help you hunt it down. But I need to study in the Wizarding Academy."
There is only one recommendation spot for Brown, and now that Brown has made great contributions, I can only give it to him. This time, Brown needs a lot of money to build the territory, and the value of an adult velociraptor is about 80,000 gold coins, do you think?"
Rand said without thinking: "Gold coins, I will continue to give Brown gold coins to build the territory. In the same way, my father must send the carcass of the Velociraptor over quickly. This time I not only want one, but also give it to him when needed."
Please ask father to hunt again, and the gold coins will definitely be indispensable to my brother!"
Hawkins laughed loudly after hearing this and said: "Okay Rand, you are indeed my son Hawkins! I will definitely give you the wizard recommendation quota next year!"
Li Luo was stunned for a moment when he heard what Hawkins said. Then he touched his chin thoughtfully and didn't know what he was thinking of.
"Okay, everyone, please step aside. You can have a lot of fun here for a few days. It's rare for you brothers to get together, so let's strengthen our relationship here."
Hawkins glanced at Brown and Rand, waved his hand and said.
Li Luo followed Rand and all retreated with gloomy expressions. Brown, with the horse-faced boy beside him, gave Rand a sarcastic look and also retreated.
After everyone left, Hawkins asked the strong man beside him who said nothing: "Tal, do you think any of them is true?"
The eldest son of Hawkins was silent for a moment and said: "Rand, but you must support Brown. This guy is good at calculation and conspiracy, and his military and business capabilities are not weak. After transforming the cemetery into a city for our human race,
We will definitely be able to deal with those dark forces, and in this way, we will save a lot of trouble."
Hawkins nodded after hearing this and said: "Well, your judgment is right. From today on, you will take over half of the territory's affairs."
"Yes, father, I will retreat now." Tal bowed respectfully and slowly retreated.
Hawkins sat in the main seat with his eyes closed. After a moment, he sighed and said: "Rand, Rand, I hope you won't be too resentful. If you are really ambitious, you can build another cemetery to show your father."
Well, when the time comes, let alone help you build a territory, even if I give you the ancestral demon-killing hammer, my father will not even blink an eye."
