Chapter 1: Selling Blood
It was a dimly lit basement, a small space filled with all sorts of messy things, except for a very small place to stay, where Thor and Kasia were facing each other. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
"Thor, are you sure you want to continue?"
Holding a closed iron cage in his left hand and iron sand gloves in his right hand, Kasia asked the young man in front of him one last time.
Thor pursed his thin lips, his dark green pupils turned slightly, glanced at Cargil, did not speak, but directly raised his right arm and handed his right wrist to Cargil.
Kasia shook her head with a wry smile, didn't ask any more questions, turned around and put the iron cage on the thick solid wood table beside her, and gently touched the top of the iron cage with her free left hand, accompanied by a mechanical turning sound, and the top of the cage revealed an opening just enough for the palm of her hand to reach.
It was too late, it was too soon, and at the moment when the opening at the top of the cage was revealed, Kasia's right hand with iron sand gloves drilled into the hole like lightning, and his right hand groped in the iron cage a few times, as if pinching something, and slowly withdrew from the iron cage.
"Squeak" There was a very slight sound from Kasia's right hand, like the sound of a bug flapping its wings.
If you look closely, it is a big red worm, this worm is very similar to a beetle, but it has no shell, only a pair of short hairy wings on its back, a thin and small head, a long and flat body, and the most striking thing is a sharp mouthpart on the small head that is constantly curling and retracting.
At this time, Thor, who had been silently watching Kasia's movements, pulled the sleeve on his right arm, revealing his pale wrist, on which cyan veins were clearly visible.
Kasia carefully put the blood-red bug on Thor's wrist, and as soon as the bug touched Thor's skin, the short-haired wings on his back shook wildly, and the "squeak" sound kept sounding, very excited.
"Squeak....""Squeak....."
When Kasia let go of his hand, the bug crawled lightning to the veins in Thor's wrist, raising its long, thin mouthparts and slamming them into the veins.
"It's coming," Thor said to himself, he had experienced this kind of thing a dozen times, and he knew very well what was going to happen next.
Sure enough, in the next second, Thor suddenly began to spasm, and his eyes were blurred for an instant, countless Venus flashed and jumped, and then his consciousness began to be confused, and in the blur, Thor felt his vitality pass again.
However, this is just an illusion, not that the real life force is passing, it is the transcendent power in the blood of Thor's body that is passing.
It seemed like a dozen seconds had passed, and it seemed like more than a dozen hours had passed, until Kasia shouted, "Okay!"
At this time, the insects, which were originally red as blood, had become gray, as if they were stained with a layer of lime.
With her right hand, wearing iron sand gloves, Kasia picked up the worm and ripped it away from Thor's veins.
However, when the worm left the blood vessel, a miraculous place appeared, and the mouthparts inserted into the blood vessel by the worm were indefinitely extended, and it still refused to be pulled out of the blood vessel.
However, Kasia was obviously not surprised, and saw him casually pick up the iron scissors on the hardwood table, cut the worm's mouthparts short with a click, and then quickly threw the painful and trembling worm into the iron cage with a muffled "thud", like throwing a small stone into it.
By the time Kasia had finished his moves, Thor had already woken up from his intoxication.
Kasia looked at Thor who had come to his senses and smiled, "It seems that you have adapted to the Bulakin Blood Worm, I remember the first time, but you were in a daze for thirty-seven minutes." ”
The Bragin Blood Worm refers to the bug just now, it is not an ordinary bloodsucking worm, it only sucks blood with extraordinary powers, such as Thor's blood.
Thor lowered his head and pulled out the half-pointed mouthparts on his wrist that had hardened, grabbed a handful of green powder from his waist pocket and smeared it on the wound, and the small wound condensed at a speed visible to the naked eye.
didn't get a response from Thor, and Kargil was not embarrassed, and said to himself: "Also, you have sold me blood thirteen times in the past two years, and you have also been sucked thirteen times by this bug, so you should have adapted to it." ”
"My stuff!"
Thor suddenly spoke, with a hint of childishness in his deep and magnetic voice, just like his face, angular, resolute and cold, but also with a hint of juvenile childishness.
This is normal, after all, Thor is only a seventeen-year-old teenager.
"It's been ready for a long time. ”
Kasia turned and took out a leather bag, snapped, and threw it on the hardwood table.
Thor stood up and opened the cowhide bag, two hundred grams of white phosphorus powder, thirty green vine leaves, twenty head coins, huh? Sure enough, there was something missing, and it was still what Thor needed the most now.
"What about the Fire Phosphorus Wizard Codex I want?" Thor asked in a deep voice as he stared at Kargil with dark green pupils and a cold look in his eyes.
Kasia hurriedly raised her hands, as if she was frightened, and her movements were very exaggerated, "Don't be angry, don't be angry, just kidding." ”
With that, three pieces of dark yellow vellum suddenly appeared in Kasia's hand, "Now, the wizard's codex of fire phosphor magic." ”
Thor took the three pages of yellow paper, looked down and looked at them quickly, and then carefully put them close to his body.
Kasia waited until Thor finished checking before pretending to be very dissatisfied and complaining, "We've worked together so many times, and you haven't believed me, I'm so hurt." ”
Thor glanced coldly at the pretending Kasia, too lazy to deal with the profiteer, grabbed the leather bag on the table and prepared to leave the basement.
Seeing that Thor was about to leave, Kasia suddenly smiled and said, "Thor, for the sake of us being old friends, I'll send you a message for free." ”
"Free news in your Kasya's mouth means useless news. Thor replied coldly, and walked down the narrow aisle towards the staircase.
Ignoring Thor's taunts, Kasia continued, "Not necessarily. I heard that your younger brother was promoted to a first-class wizard in Jialong Town three days ago!"
"Hehe, fifteen-year-old first-class wizard, what a genius! Thor, I remember two years ago, when you were fifteen, you changed a meditation manual from me. ”
When Thor heard this, his body slammed, obviously shocked.
There was silence for a while, and Thor stepped up the stairs and walked out with a firm and steady step.
What about genius, I'm not a genius, but I'm by no means worse than anyone else!
Just as Thor had reached the end of the stairs and was about to push open the basement door, Kasia's words came from behind him again.
"But Thor, I'm still more optimistic about you, you're the most promising wizard apprentice I've ever seen!"
"I know!" replied Thor without looking back.
"I'm as confident as ever!" Cassia shrugged amusedly, then turned to look at the iron cage and muttered in a low voice, "It's time to meet another client, hey, this client is so much harder..."
When you open the door, you will see the sunset on the horizon and the sunset like an oil painting.
But compared to the beautiful sunset in the distance, what was in front of Saul's eyes was not very good.
The shabby and dirty streets, the puddles of sewage everywhere, the streets are lined with cheap prostitutes dressed in fancy clothes, and the hurried pedestrians are not serious people, but thieves and pickpockets who go to other towns.
This is the old town of Mextown, a chaotic, dirty, and disorderly place.
Dressed in a brown hunting suit, cowhide boots, and carrying a short knife at his waist, the handsome and handsome Thor is obviously out of step with this dirty environment, but no one pays attention to Thor, not because they are afraid of Thor but where Thor walks out.
The magical shop of Kasia.
This is the name of the place where Saul walked out, which looks like a dilapidated old shop from the outside, but the owner inside is the only black marketeer in the old town.
However, this is only information that ordinary people know, in fact, Kargil is the only wizard merchant in the entire Mex Territory, and this is the reason why Thor is here.
Thor is a wizard, to be precise, he is a wizard apprentice, since two years ago he started meditating, began to learn witchcraft, but unfortunately he has an amazing talent for warriors, but only a very ordinary wizard can do.
In addition, he seriously lacked cultivation materials and knowledge, so in the past two years, despite his very hard cultivation, he was still a wizard apprentice with only a spirit scale of 93.
And the criterion for becoming a first-level wizard is to reach a spirit scale of 120!
Although this condition seems simple, it is actually very difficult, and ordinary people can only accumulate 120 spiritual scales in a year without eating or drinking, but even if you accumulate enough spiritual power, you are not a wizard at all.
The reason why sorcerers are powerful and mysterious is that they have more than 90% of the knowledge in the world, and they use this knowledge to perform powerful sorcery, and spiritual power is only the basis of it all.
In the past two years, Thor has accumulated mental power at night, and has studied a series of subjects such as mathematics, chemistry, basic biology, basic anatomy, and herbology during the day.
In order to turn this knowledge into mystical witchcraft, a more crucial step is to build a model of witchcraft.
However, when it comes to the basics, Thor can learn them by ordinary means such as hiring a tutor and collecting textbooks, while the witchcraft model is not easy to obtain.
Because this is not the age of wizards, the era of real wizards, the Molgar Wizard Empire, has long since fallen, in this era, wizards are evil, witchcraft is the power of the devil, people fear wizards, hunt wizards.
The Dark Inquisition, the Bloody Avengers of the Inhuman Alliance, the two most prestigious wizard hunting organizations, are the two most prestigious wizard hunting organizations, and their sole purpose is to hunt wizards.
In this bloody environment, there are no nine wizards left in existence, and occasionally there is a wizard who does his best to hide himself and escape the dark inquisition and the bloody avengers.
So it's hard to get witchcraft models and wizard materials.
Just like Thor, he sold his blood for two years in exchange for some cultivation materials and a three-page model of the Fire Phosphorus Technique.
Of course, even selling blood is not something that just one person can do, and Thor's blood can be exchanged for these things because his blood contains extraordinary power, which is the material that other wizards need.
........
Half an hour later, Thor had left the town of Mex, heading home along a gravel road.
And Saul's home is the gray castle outside the town of Mex.
Thor's full name is Thor Tyria Mex, of which Tyria is his mother's name, and in order to commemorate his mother, who died two years ago, he took it upon himself to add his mother's name to his name, much to Thor's father, Viscount Mex, was very dissatisfied.
That's right, Thor's father is Viscount Vig Mex, the owner of the entire Mex's domain.
Thor is the eldest son of Viscount Mex, but is not the first heir.
"Da Da Da"
A hurried sound of horses' hooves came from far and near, interrupting Thor's thoughts.
It was a gray mare, and at once a thin boy named Mike, who was Thor's only servant.
"Master, Master Philip is back, and Lady Vivien Leigh has invited you back for dinner together!" the young man galloped from his horse to Thor on horseback, hurriedly dismounted, and said to Thor in a panic.
Philip is Saul's half-brother, and Vivien Leigh is Fellette's biological mother, and this mother and son have always looked down on Saul and often troubled Saul.
Now that Viscount Mex's is out to suppress bandits, not in the castle, Vivien Leigh's mother and son are the rulers of the castle, and now the mother and son are so anxious to summon Thor to have dinner together, I'm afraid it's not just a meal.
Thor suddenly thought of what Kasia said, "I heard that your younger brother was promoted to a first-class wizard in Jialong Town three days ago!"
Thinking of this, Thor's dark green eyes flashed gloomily, and his face sank, and he took the reins handed by Mike, stepped on the horse with his dexterous hands, touched the horse's belly with both legs, and with a low shout, galloped towards the castle.
No matter what the intrigues, I, Thor, am not afraid!
