Chapter 436: The Black Tower of Zedi that was attacked
Clarence wore black round-rimmed glasses, still wore the same red robe that had remained unchanged forever, and the light brown curly hair on his head looked fluffy and messy.
He was squinting his eyes slightly and frowning slightly as he stared at the young wizard in front of him.
His brown curly hair is spread to his shoulders, he has a confident and bright smile, and he is wearing a dark green long cloak like a raincoat. For a wizard's dress, it is too simple and casual.
His skin was engraved with black tattoo runes and formations, crisscrossing each other, leaving arcs and marks on his body. He looked like a stuffed bear.
If an experienced transformation wizard were here, he would be able to notice that if the young wizard's [skin] is peeled off and unfolded, it can be directly transformed into seven magic circles that fit together like gears.
Bernardino raised the corners of his mouth and made a somewhat artificial and melodious voice: "Then it seems that I am not successful.
"What is the similarity between the decayed 'shell' of the past and my young and healthy body today?"
"Of course I can see it from your heart."
Clarence replied unceremoniously: "I have only seen such a cold, sticky, dark heart from one person.
"Your body may change, but your heart will not. It's just that the heavy life has turned into pretentious complacency and arrogance."
He flicked his newly polished nails and made a crisp low sound.
As the crisp sound of bones clashing sounded, the nails made of white jade drew a pure white shimmer in the air.
In Clarence's eyes, many small, black cracks like electric sparks burst out in the void where his nails had passed.
Those are the severed fragments of fate.
When the two faced each other, a new destiny emerged between them.
——Clarence will die here.
This is the future as Clarence sees it.
——Bernardino harbors murderous intentions.
This is the mind Clarence sees.
At this distance, being approached by a superior soul-stealing wizard... this almost means there is no resistance.
Even if Bernardino does not take the path of stealing hearts, it does not mean that he will lose the resistance to the same type of spells.
But he didn't panic at all, and still calmly stared at the younger master of soul control.
In his vision, countless souls were already surrounding him.
"It seems like you're very happy with the path you've chosen."
Bernardino sat back at the table, reached out and gently grabbed his new hair, lowered his head and sniffed the hair on his fingertips, and said warmly: "Have you thought about advancing? Or... you
Have you received the inheritance?
"The advancement from silver to gold can't just be accomplished by lying in a wizard's tower and dreaming. Talent without original ability must have a gold-level inheritance."
"You don't need to worry anymore."
Clarence walked towards his cupboard, rummaged for something on the medicine shelf, and responded coldly without looking back: "The tower master has promised to trade me the advancement of [Dream Stealer] or [Mask Master]
It’s a ceremony.”
"I remember... the inherited profession of Zedi Black Tower should be [Fire Stealer], right?"
"That's for the Sons of the Tower. I am a soul-stealer after all..."
Clarence replied calmly: "But there is a high probability that I will advance to gold. The tower owner is willing to help me go to other wizard towers and ask in exchange for advancement rituals and materials."
The ritual of advancing gold already belongs to the category of mysterious knowledge. It is not knowledge that can be printed at will, so it can be used for trade...or in other words, to exchange for other advanced rituals.
Although each wizard tower has its own inheritance... after all, there are also students from other schools.
Even if the probability is low, it is still possible for a gold-level transcendent who is not from this school to be born.
The red wizard rummaged through and found a bottle of potion that looked like an ink bottle. It was green and transparent, and continued to emit light-colored bubbles even though it was well sealed.
Clarence opened it, and a strong mint aroma poured out of the bottle.
He raised his head and swallowed the cold liquid in three mouthfuls.
The sweet and refreshing taste melts on the tongue and slides from the base of the tongue to the bottom of the heart. Immediately afterwards, a strong icy feeling rises from the stomach and goes straight to the top of the head.
Clarence's whole expression was as if he had taken a bite of mustard, and his face suddenly wrinkled and he was shocked.
After a while, he slowly recovered.
"Soul-purifying medicine?"
Bernardino tilted his head and raised the corners of his mouth slightly: "Drinking too much of this will be bad for your stomach."
"If your stomach is injured, use other medicine to make up for it."
Clarence said calmly.
He turned back and looked at Bernardino: "But you have been lingering here... I am not prepared to face you, isn't it disrespectful to you?"
After drinking the medicine, a faint white halo flickered in Clarence's eyes. This was evidence that his perception and will attributes were temporarily increased by the medicine, and he was somewhat uncontrollable.
Hearing this, Bernardino chuckled softly: "Sorry, Clarence. I don't want to be too rude... but if you want to challenge me, you'd better put the 'Heart-stealing Touch Potion' and 'Swiftness' next to it.
Drink the elixir together."
Clarence didn't reply, just kept a sullen face and said nothing.
He drank down the two bottles of medicine Bernardino mentioned, and then hesitantly took out a bottle of dark red, translucent medicine that looked like a sample of perfume. After much thought, he gritted his teeth and drank it.
It was as if he had been punched hard in the abdomen by something invisible. His whole body shook, and he slowly bent over while trembling, almost vomiting.
"Are you ready, Your Excellency, the savior of the Black Tower of Zedi?"
Looking at this scene, Bernardino said warmly.
Clarence croaked: "Admit it, you guy?
"——Are you really here to cause trouble?!"
"It's very unfortunate. This is fate."
Bernardino sighed: "If you said at that time that you planned to become a spiritual monk... maybe I would change my mind."
"maybe?"
Clarence sneered.
He slowly raised his head, and the whites of his eyes had completely turned into blood.
Bernardino smiled slightly: "Well, maybe.
"...but as expected, I still want to expand my collection."
"What on earth are you here for?"
"I'm here to find...the soul of His Excellency Hugo Black Tower."
The moment Bernardino finished speaking, the runes on his skin instantly lit up.
It was an inheritance from the Tower of Jade—a treasure tailor-made for him by the soul of the former great alchemist, Isaac Flamel.
——Moving Philosopher's Stone formed into a formation.
The next moment, the world around Clarence turned into a [foreign land].
The dark and greasy liquid spread quickly from Bernardino's feet.
In the blink of an eye, it had spread across the entire room and passed through the wall. Lines like blood vessels clung to the wall close to the wall and slowly grew upward.
Seeing this, Clarence was not angry at all.
That's because of the last potion he took, the power of "Blood of Dry Wrath".
His anger will be continuously transformed into disordered and twisted mana...and if his anger is not enough, the potion will burn his blood instead.
“How are my students doing?”
Clarence jumped up high to avoid the black mud rushing towards him.
He jumped onto the shelf behind him and asked in a low voice.
The moment he asked the question, he had already gotten the answer from Bernardino's mind.
——This black mud is the manifestation of the power of Bernardino's elements.
Wizards dragged into the swamp will be directly refined into the Philosopher's Stone.
And his next move is...
Clarence reads Bernardino's heart.
He didn't hesitate and clapped his hands.
Following the crisp sound of applause, an invisible halo suddenly spread with Clarence as the center.
In his office, those books, documents, newspapers.
When he was swept by that halo, he seemed to be given life at the same time, and started a riot at the same time.
At the same time, Clarence dug his sharp nails directly into his temples.
At this time, Bernardino's gem eyes had just lit up.
Clarence was immediately delighted.
There's still time!
The magic eye, which was capable of seizing Clarence's soul in an instant, was disturbed by the severe pain in Bernardino's mind just before it was activated, and was delayed half a step.
The next moment, countless words turned into streams of light, and thin chains of light swept in from all directions, binding Bernardino instantly!
——Idol School, Synchronicity of Pain!
——Imperial Order School, the pages of the book are locked!
