Sunlight shines through the fusiform windows into the tree castle, filling the hall on the first floor with a golden glow. The golden glow landed on Phyllis's face, her eyelashes fluttering consciously, and then her eyes narrowed slightly, only to realize that she was holding Darko. The latter was still asleep quietly, but his body remained in a stiff sitting position, as if he was afraid that his movements would disturb anyone, and only the slight rise and fall of his chest occasionally stirred Phyllis's blonde hair. Phyllis's eyes closed again, and with a slight twitch of her nose, she was ready to go back to sleep.
At that moment, I heard Leah's voice from above, "Phyllis, aren't you up yet? Arroyo is coming soon!"
This voice directly woke Darko and ruined Phyllis's original plan, first brewing an angry wrinkle between her eyebrows, and then suddenly jumped up from the rattan bed and responded loudly, "Got it! Are you so anxious to see the helper you found being abused!"
"Phyllis!" Leah's figure jumped down the ladder on the upper floor, "It's still unknown who is abusing whom!"
Phyllis sneered and was about to return the favor, when she heard a slightly feminine male voice outside, "May I ask if Miss Nike Remmons and Miss Lopez are there?" ”
Hearing the voice, Phyllis hurried to the window, poked her head out and shouted, "Arroyo, you bastard!
This time, a coquettish female voice sounded outside, "Phyllis, what's wrong? Are you afraid that the inscription master you found is a parallel import, and you don't even dare to let people watch a small competition?"
Phyllis immediately sneered again, "Hmph, Simone, you hybrid breed who hasn't even awakened the ability of the second bloodline, you are not qualified to interject here!"
As soon as these words were spoken, the voice outside immediately froze, obviously being attacked to the point.
As they spoke, a green light shot out of Leah's hand, and the door to the vine slowly opened. When Darko came to the window, he saw five people walking into the courtyard, and saw a silver-haired young man, a silver-haired girl, a bespectacled teenager, and a goblin among the four people.
Darko asked curiously, "Who are they?"
Phyllis pursed her lips and said with pretended disdain, "Our potential opponent!"
The most conspicuous of the four people who visited was the goblin who was about one meter tall, the goblin had created a very brilliant alchemy civilization in the Aesian plane, but was eventually destroyed by other races because of its weak physical fitness, and the number of goblins is smaller than that of orcs today, but they have inherited some of the alchemy of their ancestors, and their skills cannot be underestimated. The most fashionable of the four was the bespectacled boy, because he was holding two almost identical snow wolves, with long chains tied around the snow wolf's neck, and the two snow wolves were actually very peaceful, and occasionally looked at the boy with fear in his eyes. But Darko's eyes were drawn to two silver-haired young men and girls, who were obviously the two people who had just spoken to Phyllis. It wasn't until he saw their silver hair that Darko suddenly woke up and understood why Phyllis reacted yesterday, first solemnly and then disdainfully.
The Demonic Warlock Bloodline!The Roche Clonmentin Family!Darko suddenly realized that only the heirs of the family with the same status could attack each other without any scruples. Since the summoned creatures of the demon warlock are demons from the abyss, and the undead creatures summoned by the necromancer are the devils of hell, the relationship between the two parties is not friendly like that of the demon and the devil.
The girl named Simone, Darko actually knew, two years ago in the training ground of St. Auckland School of Magic, he also hit the back of the head with a bone stick, knocking her unconscious. At the time of that sparring, Darko was still an ordinary little skeleton, unrecognizable in the pile of skeletons, and now his appearance has been turned upside down, and Simone has not been able to recognize him.
Phyllis and Simone have always been at odds with each other, and they don't know how many times they have fought each other, winning and losing each other. But after Phyllis awakened the second bloodline ability in the past year, Simone could not gain the upper hand in the head-to-head battle. So Phyllis attacked with this, leaving Simone speechless at once.
In large families like Nike Remmons and Roche Clenmentin, basically every family member will awaken the bloodline ability, but only a few heirs with a higher bloodline purity will have the possibility of awakening the second bloodline ability. Because of this, the second bloodline ability has also become a symbol of a member's family status, and it is a standard that only exists in some large families.
Liya noticed that the atmosphere was not right, and immediately played a round, "Hey, you two, before the competition starts, are you going to make a personal attack? If there is anything to communicate, you can't wait until you get to the basement!"
Phyllis snorted, pulled Darko and walked down the floor, and Leah followed her down to the basement. The four people outside also entered the inside of the tree castle through the small door at the root of the tree, and when everyone met in the basement, Phyllis pointed to the two snow wolves and said dissatisfiedly, "Why did you only get two second-order snow wolves, this kind of second-order demonic beast can only carry small glyphs!" Arroyo, is it that your skills are too bad to copy the big glyphs?"
As soon as Phyllis's words came out, even Darko couldn't help but slander, thinking that the master was really a good hand at pulling hatred.
Arroyo just smiled, "Actually, because it's cheap, our money is still used to arm the orcs, but we don't have much spare money to fight with you." Moreover, the snow wolf is in stock in the Mercenary Guild, and the number of other magical beasts is small, so it is not easy to find two similar ones. ”
"Don't deceive people, I also saw yesterday that there are a lot of third-order ironclad horses in the Mercenary Guild, and the price is not much more expensive than the snow wolf. Phyllis didn't give up, "It's probably your own strength!"
Simone was about to say something, but was stopped by Arroyo, who shook his head and shrugged, "Well, my inscription level is indeed average, and copying the glyph on the ironclad horse has a lower success rate for me." It's a pity I didn't find anyone from the Stuart family, otherwise we would have better material. ”
Hearing Arroyo say this, Phyllis, Simone, and Leah laughed together, and the others laughed in unison. The Stuart family is of Centaur blood, so Arroyo compares the Centaur to a third-order ironclad horse, and the joke he tells is a taunt of the Priest to the Warcaster. Darko realizes that Arroyo is actually quite a funny person, and uses a joke to lighten the mood.
With the harmonious atmosphere, both sides gradually became acquainted. Phyllis jumped over and patted the goblin on the head and asked curiously about the goblins, while Leah held hands with Simone and whispered something, but Darko found the boy holding the snow wolf. Snow wolf, a magical beast Darko, had met in the Demonic Beast Mountain Range, but he didn't expect to be trained to be so obedient, and he naturally remembered the beast tamer of the beast clan.
"Are you an animal trainer?" Darko asked tentatively, touching the snow wolf's back as he turned to the boy.
"I'm not interested in the out-of-the-way profession of the orcs, I'm a thunder magician. The boy cupped his eyes and shook his head with a smile. At this moment, the snow wolf that was touched by Darko suddenly launched a ferocity, turned his head and bit towards Darko, before Darko dodged, he saw the electric light on the chain tied to the snow wolf flashed away, and the snow wolf turned into a fried hedgehog in an instant, and the ferocity disappeared immediately, and he lay on the ground with a begging look in his eyes.
"You're the pharmacist of your team!" Darko clearly felt that the thunder element contained in the electric light just now was very pure, and this young man's thunder element talent must be A-grade, and the percentage of thunder element was likely to be above 95%! The thunder element was composed of two elements, water and fire, and the two elements of water and fire were exactly what the pharmacist had to control.
"Master Pharmacist, Howard Hughes. The boy held out his hand and shook Darko's hand.
Darko remembered that the Hughes family was also an ancient family, and since the demonic beast bloodline they inherited was an eighth-order, their strength was not enough to maintain their independence, so they could only rely on the Thunder Church. When Darko wanted to introduce himself, he remembered that he hadn't been certified as an inscription master in the Alchemy Guild, so he had to say, "Inscription Master, Darko Nike Remones." ”
At this time, Simone leaned over and looked at the badge on Darko's chest, "Huh, haven't you been certified as an inscriptionist? It just so happens that I'm also a master herbalist, so we'll be able to talk to each other later. ”
Phyllis waved her hand beside her, blocking Simone's vision, "Darko's auxiliary profession is the inscription master, the others are all playing, my lich's second auxiliary profession is the same level as you, are you ashamed?"
Simone's face was flushed, and she was about to speak, but she saw that Arroyo had already walked to Darko's side, "Your name is Darko, isn't it? Hello, I'm Arroyo, a master inscriptionist, it seems that this competition is a confrontation between the two of us, and it must be very interesting." ”
For some reason, although Arroyo was an opponent and a demon warlock bloodline, Darko's senses were not bad for him, and he couldn't have any hostility, so he nodded, "I'll do my best in the competition later." ”
Arroyo smiled, "We haven't found any members of our team yet, and I'm here today to talk to you as a potential opponent, so let's start quickly." ”
So let's clarify the specific rules. Leah clapped her hands and began to explain the rules of the competition, "Both sides have half an hour to copy the glyphs on the snow wolf's body, and no other auxiliary professional means are allowed, enchantments, glyphs, and jewelry are all prohibited categories. Half an hour later, the snow wolves on both sides entered an enclosed area at the same time, and Hughes gave them the same dose of berserk potions, causing them to attack each other. In the end, which side of the snow wolf dies, which side loses. ”
After jotting down the rules, no one raised any objections, Arroyo nodded and said, "Since the snow wolf is provided by us, then you can choose first." ”
The glyphs can be copied on a scroll and then transferred and inlaid with a scroll, or they can be copied directly by the inscriptionist on the surface of a human or monster. Relatively speaking, it is more difficult to copy the glyphs directly, and it is more important to test the overall situation and operational ability of the inscription master. Because of this, the competition between the inscriptionists was to inlay the inscriptions by direct copying.
Darko understood the rules and nodded silently, he felt that such rules were fair to both parties, and half an hour to copy a small glyph was still relatively generous for him. His only weakness is that he has been mostly copying magic scrolls for a long time, and rarely has such a purely output glyph design. Although the one-month practice in the Adamantite Prison Inscription Workshop allowed him to master a lot of skills in this area, there was still a gap compared to the two professionals at that time, Mo Ning and Eminem.
"Okay, then I'll pick it first!" Phyllis walked up to the two snow wolves and crouched down to check on the snow wolves' condition. Although Phyllis did not have the threat of thunder magic like Hughes, she exuded a faint undead aura around her, which directly made the low-level demonic beasts instinctively fearful. When the two snow wolves felt this qi system, they hugged each other and trembled in fright, but they were immediately dragged by Phyllis and forcibly separated. After a closer look, another detection spell was thrown on the two snow wolves, and many of them directly detected the soul of the undead magic. So the two snow wolves fell into bad luck, and in the end they simply crawled on the ground with their legs weak. Phyllis glared for a while, then grabbed the neck of a snow wolf and threw it to Darko behind her, "Both are about the same, let's use this one, the hind legs are longer." ”
Darko took the snow wolf and checked it with the pupil of cause and effect, but found nothing abnormal, it seemed that it was indeed two snow wolves of similar size and strength, and Arroyo's team did not do anything in this regard. Then, under Leah's spell, several vines sprang up on the ground, and before the two snow wolves could react, they bound their limbs and head and neck tightly, only their eyes could move freely, and there was a look of horror in their eyes.
Then the goblin struck, and after a petrification spell, the two snow wolves became immovable statues. When Dakko saw such a scene, he also looked at the goblins twice, and petrification usually can only petrify the joints on the appearance of the monster for a period of time to achieve the effect of hindering movement. This goblin was able to completely seal the snow wolf's movements with a level 4 magic, which required not only a high level, but also fine control over petrification. From this precise control, Darko guessed that the goblin's jeweler level was at least master.
"Phyllis, it's up to you to do what you do best!" Simone teased Phyllis with a wicked grin.
"Hmph, let's see if you can laugh after the competition!" Phyllis didn't bother arguing with Simone, closed her eyes, and shot a gray magic out of each hand, which landed on the two snow wolves, whose smooth and fine body hair immediately turned gray, and after a while, the roots fell off, revealing the petrified skin underneath. The two snow wolves that had shed their hair were like a larger earth dog, and they looked very miserable.
Phyllis used the flesh peeling in necromancy, but the peeling range was controlled outside the body surface, which played a precise role in hair removal, but was ridiculed by Simone as hair removal. Hughes approached a snow wolf to take a closer look, and exclaimed, "It didn't damage the epidermis at all, and it was cleaner than the alchemy epilator shaved, so strong magic control!"
Phyllis just snorted and raised her neck in the air. At this point, the snow wolf had already dealt with it, and it was the turn of the two herbalists Leah and Simone to grind the ink.
