Lilian, who fell to the ground, took a few deep breaths and slowly stood up. Only then did she have the energy to quickly move her gaze to Colin and the two not far away.
And the battle there...or rather the silent battle is almost over.
"Pard...be careful..."
Lites fell to the ground, on the verge of death. His lips moved, and he was still trying to murmur, trying to tell Parde that the wizard in front of him was not the first-level beginner he thought. In terms of attack alone, he even touched it.
The threshold for the first level of peak!
He wanted to call for help, hoping that Parde would come to support him.
This time, his voice was not blocked like before, but came out clearly... In order to save magic power, Colin had removed the silence when summoning the fire element.
This time, it was also the last... no, the penultimate sound he made.
Teng!
The orange-yellow flame was gently thrown from Colin's hand, fell accurately on Lites' body, suddenly expanded and enveloped his entire body.
"Uh...ahhhh!"
The severe burning pain made Litus scream in pain, then gradually became fainter and finally disappeared.
"Senior Lilian, are you okay?" Colin breathed softly, quietly put away the Stupid Scepter, and then turned to look at Lilian.
"It's just some minor injuries." Lilian shook her head.
The joy of surviving the disaster made Lilian smile lightly. She looked at Colin and stared at him with an unexpected look, "You really hide your secrets, Colin."
Judging from the battle just now, Colin's actual combat ability is probably comparable to that of an ordinary first-level advanced or even a peak first-level wizard... which is almost the same as himself!
Colin just pulled his lips, looking like he had consumed too much magic power, and did not answer.
Lilian gathered her hair that was scattered due to the battle, and continued to speak seriously: "The fire element you just summoned is almost an advanced level. Judging from your appearance, you should not be blessed by the Scepter of Folly.
There is also the flame shield from before, and the witchcraft of silence... Colin, your talent in witchcraft is no less than your talent in cultivation!"
Colin continued to remain silent.
In fact, the reason why the summoned fire element has such high intensity is mainly because it uses four fireballs from the limit-breaking fireball technique as the casting material. In addition, to ensure that it is foolproof, it also uses the Scepter of Ignorance as a blessing.
At this point, Lilian's tone became lower, as if she was reminiscing about something. After a moment of silence, she continued:
"That's a good thing, but I hope you can remember, Colin - when we chase knowledge, the unknown, the mysterious, the scary, the weird... will also follow!
Only by adhering to human nature can we anchor ourselves; only by thoroughly understanding knowledge and firmly believing in the truth can we resist and eliminate the filthy nonsense that is everywhere in the world."
"I understand, Senior Lillian."
Colin nodded silently and responded in a deep voice.
I have heard words like this countless times since I came to this world.
But with the gold paper around, his heart still lacked some real feeling... However, this does not mean that he will not keep it in his heart.
On the contrary, Colin paid special attention to this point. The reason why he did not rely on gold paper to learn too much witchcraft was not only because he did not have enough time and energy, but also because of these warnings and... those that happened in
Live examples around you.
After Lilian finished speaking, she didn't say any more.
She withdrew her gaze, turned around, took out the forearm-long dry brown branch from Parde's broken arm, and handed it to Colin.
"Senior Lilian..."
"The main credit for this battle belongs to you, Colin." Lilian interrupted him and put the brown branch into his hand, "You deserve this trophy."
She turned to look at Parde's body and continued in a calm but serious tone, "Not only that, you can also divide at least 60% of the loot left on these two people."
"The branch in my hand is already a big advantage, there is no need for the rest of the loot..." Colin said quickly.
"Let's see what else they have on them before we discuss it." Lilian smiled and said softly.
"...Okay." Colin paused and nodded.
The two of them leaned down together and searched for the things on Parde's body.
"Fortunately, this tree elf hybrid hasn't started to strengthen the foundation of his body, otherwise I might not be able to kill him so easily." Lilian said happily while searching.
'The foundation of the body...' Colin paused for a moment. This was the second time he heard this word.
As if aware of Colin's doubts, Lilian raised her head and took the initiative to explain:
"The so-called strengthening the foundation of the body actually refers to body transformation. It just refers specifically to the body strengthening for advanced second-level wizards, usually starting from the first-level intermediate or advanced level...
The earlier the time to strengthen the foundation of the body, the better. Some wizards with better backgrounds have even begun to strengthen the foundation of the body when they are first-level junior wizards!"
Having said this, she paused and said in a deep voice: "The strength of the body's foundation is extremely important. To a certain extent, it can even affect the strength of the second talent obtained after advancing to the second-level wizard!
"
At the same time, after advancing to the second level, in today's world full of filthy nonsense, the balance between body and spirit becomes particularly important..."
‘The balance between body and spirit…’ Colin secretly remembered it in his heart.
At this time, Lilian also finished her search, stood up slowly, identified the only harvest in her hand - a storage ring, shook her head and said:
"This storage ring is just the most ordinary storage ring with not much space... It seems that he is indeed just a wandering wizard. That branch probably had some adventure."
Colin nodded slightly, not paying attention, and continued to search for the body of Lites with Lilian.
As for the storage ring, of course, wait until all the loot is collected before spending time to open it.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! "Senior Lillian, how is the foundation of the body... strengthened?" midway, Colin asked curiously, wanting to continue the topic just now.
"According to your current cultivation progress, it should be quite some time before you reach the first-level intermediate level. There is no need to know so early..." Lilian said subconsciously, but as if she thought of something, she paused and added:
"However, with your talent, it shouldn't hurt to know some knowledge about advanced second-level wizards in advance."
Colin nodded.
But in fact, with the help of the golden paper, advancing to the first-level intermediate wizard is not far away for him... The progress on the golden paper has already reached nearly half.
"As I said before, the so-called strengthening of the body's foundation is actually strengthening the body. The so-called body's foundation is actually more of the foundation that carries the soul and talent."
At this moment, they had arrived at the body of Lites. While searching for the body, Lilian organized her words and spoke to Colin:
"The conditions for determining the strength of the body's foundation are very complicated. If modifications such as grafting blood are carried out, the strength of the body's foundation will be linked to the strength of the vitality..."
"And if a primary elemental transformation is carried out, then the strength of the body's foundation represents the activity of its own elements.
In addition, the same applies to mechanical transformation, but they are more special, mainly depending on the quality of the metal used in the transformation..."
"However, if you do not obtain particularly high-quality transformation metal, it is usually not recommended to take the path of mechanical transformation... The body is the best carrier of our own soul, and the same is true for elemental transformation. Generally speaking, it is also not as good as ordinary blood.
Transformation.”
"So you can find that most of the second-level wizards you see every day usually perform physical transformations such as bloodline transformations, while there are few elemental transformations and even rarer mechanical transformations...
As for the rest of the transformations, they are basically niche. There are also ways to cultivate the spirit alone without strengthening the foundation of the body. In today's world, they have disappeared for a long time. Only some natural spirits, such as ghosts, do this."
After Lilian finished speaking, she stood up slowly. The search for Lites' body was also finished - just like Parde, it only had an ordinary storage ring.
"Okay, now let's take a look at what they have in their storage rings."
She handed the two storage rings, the one belonging to Parde, to Colin and let out a soft breath.
Now whether the two of them can successfully escape from the Elf Kingdom depends on whether they can find a possible "pass" in these two storage rings!
After that, the two quickly dealt with the traces of the corpse, found a safe place, and began to crack the two storage rings.
As for the so-called treasure house door built by Lites, after the battle, the faint golden light gradually disappeared, and at some point it also climbed up into dark red mottled spots. The trigger trap set on it may have become decayed and ineffective.
It has basically turned into an ordinary stone wall.
Perhaps this is the reason why the two Parders stopped ambush... That false treasure house door is about to expire.
As time passed, Colin concentrated on deciphering the storage ring, and did not even have time to examine the strange dry branch in his hand that originally belonged to Parde.
Just like that, there was no sound in the magnificent palace. After an unknown amount of time, Lilian took the lead to exhale softly and opened her eyes.
Then she waved her hand.
Wow, a bunch of strange-shaped things sparsely appeared on the ground about one square meter in front of me.
After waiting for a while, Colin also successfully cracked the storage ring in his hand.
"Senior Lilian... look at this." He opened his eyes, but instead of taking out everything like Lilian did, he took out a thick notebook with a black cover.
"**Extraction and grafting of bloodline?"
The writing on the hard cover was a little blurry. Lillian took it and tried to read it with a frown, but the first few words were still difficult to make out.
Holding it in her hands and briefly reading through it, Lilian couldn't help but raise her eyebrows.
"That tree elf hybrid is not a real tree elf hybrid?"
The previous content of this notebook is actually normal witchcraft knowledge. It tells how to extract the bloodline from a magical beast called Frost Agouti and then use it for its own transformation and grafting.
But the content in the second half should also be written by Parde himself, recording some of his research practices.
And finally, how he extracted the tree elf blood from a tree elf hybrid and successfully grafted it onto himself.
"No wonder the concentration of his tree elf blood is so low." Lilian twitched her lips, closed the note, handed it back to Colin, and continued:
"The next step is to find possible passes from their storage rings."
Colin nodded and put the notes aside casually, feeling a little sad that it was not easy for a mixed-race family to survive.
The tree elf hybrid whose bloodline was extracted was actually a young man whose family was destroyed by his enemies. He was also Pard's friend for many years...but the tree elf hybrid eventually aroused the covetousness of his friends because of his talent.
I'm afraid that the dry branch was obtained from the tree elf in the same way.
After gathering his thoughts, Colin then took out all the items in Parde's storage ring.
The number of items in Parde's storage ring is about the same as the number of items in Litus's storage ring.
The quality seems to be about the same, there is nothing particularly good, and even the magic stone only has a quantity of 30,000 to 50,000, which is really not much compared to Pard's status as a first-level senior wizard.
The two of them checked the items scattered on the ground one by one. After checking one item, they put one item back into the storage ring.
As time went by, the remaining items on the ground decreased, and the expressions of Colin and the two of them gradually became gloomy.
"Senior Lillian...look at this."
Fortunately, not long after, Colin suddenly said in a deep voice, picking up something from the pile of scattered items.
It was a metallic green leaf with clear pale golden veins, exuding a dense brilliance.
The most important thing is that the fluctuations emitted by this green leaf are very similar to the fluctuations emitted by the pass bracelet on Lilian's wrist!
However... no matter whether Colin used mental testing or injected magic power, the green leaf showed no reaction at all.
Lilian looked at it carefully for a moment, then took it and felt it carefully.
After a moment, he opened his eyes and confirmed with joy, "This is indeed the certificate to go out. I can feel that it is secretly guiding a location!"
But soon, Lilian frowned again, her tone became a little lower, and she said, "It's just that this green leaf, like my bracelet, seems to require that the person using it has elf blood."
Colin's heart sank, and when he was about to ask whether this green leaf could only be passed by one person or if it could carry one person, he caught a glimpse of something in the pile of items belonging to Lites from the corner of his eye -
It was an exquisite wooden hammer with mysterious and deep light golden tree patterns and exquisite shape, inheriting the consistent exquisite style of the elves.
He picked it up subconsciously, felt it for a while and then said in surprise:
"Senior Lilian, this is also a certificate leading to the outside world!"
Lilian felt relieved when she heard this. She looked at Colin and laughed in unison.
Now that they have the evidence, the deserted Elf Kingdom is no longer a desperate situation for them. With a way out, they have confidence.
