Although today is also two updates, but each chapter has 5,000 words, and the 10,000-word update has been achieved!

In the dark iron-clad gate, screams rang out again and again. Lance stood outside the door, patiently waiting.

He held the deadly banshee compressed into a fist in his hand, his gaze unscrupulously observing her physiology.

The Banshee of Death is tied up in a silver net, and Lance is left to do whatever he wants.

Lance stretched out a finger and opened the tentacles of the lower half of the Banshee's body through the silver net, revealing the white organs inside.

It was a wriggling round internal organ, which looked similar to the structure of a human heart, but the appearance of the banshee's internal organs had many small holes, and these holes had flesh walls on the outside, and when they opened and closed, they looked very strange.

"This is where the soul of the Banshee of Death resides. Lance squinted, studying her anatomy, curiosity growing in his eyes.

There is still a big gap between an artificially restored ancient creature like this and the real Banshee. The latter has some special abilities that the former does not have, but structurally, there is not much difference between the two. That's where Lance is curious.

This silver net, called the [Reticulated Demon Trap], is a very practical one-time demonized item. The reticulated demon trap has a good binding effect on many monsters. It is often possible to limit their power and thus capture the target. However, only a very skilled alchemist can make something like this, and judging from the rough workmanship, this thing should have been made by Lauchren himself.

The Banshee let out a scream of rage, as if she was unhappy with Lance's unbridled manipulation of her flesh. It's a pity that her ability was limited by a magic weapon, and the screams that originally had a certain mental deterrent ability turned into a low moan, although Lance himself was very serious about studying academic issues, but in the eyes of several maids on the side, the scene was undoubtedly obscene and a little scary.

They stood there trembling. I'm afraid that the wizard in front of me will set his eyes on them.

After a while. Lance studied the physiology of the banshee's appearance thoroughly before he took out a potion pouch and put her stuffy head inside. A potion bag like this can be used to store not only some magic plants temporarily, but also small monsters.

It was at this time. The screams inside the iron gate came to an abrupt end. Lance's eyes lit up. Looked at the door.

Not much. The door creaked open, and Laughlan strode out, his expression calm. It didn't look like he had just used a heavy sentence on his son.

"We have a month. ”

Lauchlen looked at Lance steadily, "One day in a month's time, probably when the Void Star passes through the constellation Hydra in the Middle Sky, the Flower Scorpion Society will hold an evil ritual. At that time, Monica and little Solo will be taken by them to the highest peak of the Scorpion Society's headquarters for a ceremony. ”

"What is the purpose of this ritual?" asked Lance.

This evil ritual has such high requirements for the environment, and it actually has to cooperate with specific astrological signs, I am afraid it is a very grand scene.

Laughren shook his head, "It's unknown yet, but in any case, Monica and little Solo should be safe before this ceremony." ”

"Frankly, Mr. Reims, I do need your help. He got straight to the point:

"You said you were going to make a deal with me, so now, we can talk about it carefully. ”

......

In the golden lion's study, the two sat across the table, looking directly at each other.

"What I'm short of now is time, so I don't want too many roundabouts in the negotiations. Laughlen squinted his eyes and looked at Lance, "Before I talk about the specific conditions, I want to know, how much kindness do you have to help me, or Monica and Little Solo?"

"Sir, goodwill is not easy to measure, and I prefer to use practical things as bargaining chips. ”

Lance's fingertips tapped lightly on the desk, and he said calmly, "I need knowledge and witchcraft, and if you can provide me with both of these things, and the portion is sufficient, I think I can help you a lot." ”

"Anyone wants to gain knowledge and witchcraft from me. Laughren shook his head and said, "I do have a lot of wealth in my hands, and these riches are indispensable resources for wild wizards. If you want to get what you want from me, then you have to give me a plan that appeals to me. ”

Lance took a deep breath, looked at Laughlen and said, "I already have a plan. I know that you are powerful and rich, but I still need to remind you that a second-level wizard like me who is willing to help you fight against the Flower Scorpion Society, I am afraid that there will be no second one in the entire Black Sbut Land. I know that the two craftsmen and wizards of the Silver Light have a good relationship with you, but in this war, those two adults also chose to avoid ...... You should be able to see what I mean. ”

Lauchren was silent for a while, revealing a helpless smile:

"Well, tell me your plan, as long as it doesn't go too far, I'll consider it. ”

......

Half a day later, Lance walked out of Laughlen's study exhausted, but with a look of satisfaction in his eyes.

The negotiations weren't as clean as Lauchlen had suggested, and Lance had been sincere in asking himself for the chips, but the old Golden Lion was still trying to depress his value in exchange for less effort for Lance's help.

Such an attitude was naturally met with Lance's dissatisfaction and resistance, and the two sides exchanged words for a whole afternoon before the cooperation was completely finalized.

However, although it lasted for such a long time, Lance also knew that in the process of negotiation, the initiative was always in his own hands. Laughlen though powerful. But after all, it's just one person. As Lance said, he was almost the only second-level wizard in the entire Black Lands who dared to fight against the Scorpion Society for Waddenberg, and that, no matter what Lauchren said, could not be erased.

Once Lance is gone, it will be difficult for him to rescue Monica and Little Solo from the Scorpion Society's headquarters.

So Lance is still quite satisfied with the final result of the deal.

"Lauchron's surgery, and some preliminary preparations, is a bit tense for a month. ”

He walked all the way back to the room Lauchran had arranged for him, thinking about it.

This suite is not only gorgeously decorated. And it's fully functional. Equipped with a meditation room and a practical room, and even a special spell testing ground, Lance is very satisfied.

For the next month, he had to be in this room ready for anything. The parties are in the transaction. The main thing that Lance needs to pay for. It's its own strength. A month later. The two will leave Waldenberg and head to the Scorpion Society's headquarters to rescue Monica and Little Solo before the ceremony.

Let's be honest. Lance was still a little drumming in his heart about directly picking the headquarters of the Flower Scorpion Society, after all, after seeing the power of the Death Scorpion, he didn't dare to underestimate any of the second-level wizards of the Flower Scorpion Society. However, after Lauchren stated his plan, Lance decided to take a gamble, and in this rescue plan, Lauchren took most of the risk himself, and Lance had to face much less pressure.

If you miss this opportunity, I don't know how much time it will take to get the same amount of benefits.

Lance doesn't want to waste too much time on these things, and if he wants to be rewarded, he has to pay enough, which is very simple.

......

In the bright light, Lance made himself a strong cup of coffee and sat quietly at his desk.

There were already two scrolls on the table, one golden and one pure white. There is no doubt that both of these scrolls were second-level witchcraft learning scrolls that Lance had extorted from Laughlen. In addition, Lance currently has three magic items. All in his Arcane Ring at this time.

This time, his deal with Lauchren actually includes two aspects. The first was to assist the Golden Lion in rescuing his daughter and grandson, who was rewarded with a total of ten copies of the Witchcraft Learning Scroll or equivalent knowledge, two of which were advanced to Lance in advance, the two that he now had, and a small portion of the Fog Dragon's spinal cord that Lauchran had purchased from Lance.

The spinal cord of this foggy dragon is not very numerous, about one-third of a full glass bottle. After informing Lance of his plan, Lauchren began to prepare to remove the toxins from his body - a plan he had been planning for a long time, but the conditions were not yet ripe, so he never started it.

And now, not to mention that Monica and Little Solo's lives need to be restored to the full level of Laughren, and even if it drags on all the time, the pearl of salvation in Laughron's chest can no longer suppress the outbreak of the toxin. He had to take a risk ahead of time to get rid of these toxins. And in this extremely risky operation, he needed a lot of items to restore his vitality. When Lance learned of this, he immediately proposed the deal.

That is, a third of the bottles of the Fog Dragon Spinal Cord were exchanged for two powerful demonic items in Lauchron's hand.

In all fairness, the Fog Dragon's spinal cord is certainly extraordinary, but the demonic items given by Laughlan are not ordinary either. One for two, and it's still a third of the bottle, Lance himself feels a little uncomfortable.

However, Lauchlan himself didn't seem to care much about these demonized items, and rarely and generously agreed to Lance's request. Lance figured out the reason afterwards, and it was estimated that on the one hand, it was because the demonized items were different from witchcraft and knowledge, and this thing could be used immediately after getting it, which could directly increase Lance's strength and greatly improve the success rate of the rescue plan, and on the other hand, he was indeed in urgent need of the fog dragon spinal cord to make a powerful potion to restore his vitality.

There are two demonized items, one is a second-order mid-level demonized item, and the other is a second-order high-level demonized item, and the total value is quite considerable.

The first is the [Seal Ring], which is a very ordinary-looking bronze ring, and there are even a little signs of rust on it. But when Lance put it in the palm of his hand, there was indeed a strong aura of spell factor coming from this ring. Standard second-order midsection.

There are three runes on the Seal Ring, each of which corresponds to a separate sealing space. At this point, the three sealing spaces on the ring are full. There are three creatures sealed inside, namely the crow, the black cat, and the dolphin. These three creatures are different from ordinary pets, they can share vision with the owner of the sealing ring, and they are also very stealthy and survivable, making them very suitable for reconnaissance.

"Crows, black cats, and dolphins, an all-round reconnaissance team on land, sea and air. ”

Lance was pleased with what the ring did. With this ring, you don't have to risk your life when you investigate in the future.

The second is the [Sword of Macon], which looks like a pitch-black umbrella with nothing on the black tarpaulin. But in fact. This umbrella can be used part-time as a walking stick. Quite different from regular staffs, the Macon Sword has a very grotesque shape and an umbrella-shaped appearance.

This second-tier staff has a terrifying spell power amplification effect. Once Lance got his hands on it, he tested it a little. It was found that the strength of normal fireballs was increased by almost 80% with the staff's bonus. Even if it's a second-order demonized item. It's also a very aggressive effect.

In addition, there are three spells attached to the Sword of Macon, which are [Fluorescence]. Mage's Eye and Bench Tap Dance. Needless to say, the effects of the first two spells are very used auxiliary spells, while the last spell is a summoning spell that can summon more than a group of bench monsters to attack the enemy. Each bench monster's tap dance has a very good stamping ability, and the average high-level apprentice may not be an opponent when he encounters these bench monsters.

These two demonized items are very useful and will likely be used in future battles, so it took Lance some time to master how to use them.

......

The two scrolls on the table were Lance's main goal for the next month.

"The second-level spell of the force field type [Cutting Technique], and the thunderbolt type spell [Aotland Lightning Chain]. One of these two spells is a single attack, the other is a group attack, and it also has a paralyzing effect, and the strength of the spell is good, and it is very suitable for me to learn now. ”

After a little thought, Lance decided to start with the latter. There are still four dragon-killing arrows left, which should still meet the requirements of a single attack, and he has been lacking in group attack methods, although the magic needle casting materials have been replenished in Waddenburg, but this spell also has a great limitation, that is, it must be launched at close range.

And this Aotland lightning chain is a typical plastic spell. Powerful attack power, excellent support effects, and very fast activation speed, the only drawback is that it consumes a lot of mana. But for the current Reims, magic is precisely the thing that is least lacking.

The spell runes of the second-level witchcraft are much more complicated.

It's basically made up of several rune groups, and the difficulty of analysis alone doesn't know how many times it has risen. Fortunately, Lance's mental power has improved by leaps and bounds, and he has a stronger insight ability in this regard, and as his understanding of the nature of witchcraft becomes more and more profound, he can also let the fox set up a few small programs to help with some tedious calculations, thus greatly saving time.

"The spell rune group of second-level witchcraft is already so huge, it is said that when it reaches the third-level wizard realm, what needs to be constructed with spiritual power is not a flat rune, but a three-dimensional spell model, and the difficulty of analysis, calculation, and construction has increased geometrically. If we don't study the nature of witchcraft runes more deeply before that and master the mysteries of magic in various fields, I'm afraid that most of the time will be wasted just learning witchcraft. ”

"On the contrary, if I can figure out the essential logic and rules of the witchcraft rune or model, I can let the fox replace most of the work in this area, although the construction of the last part is still up to me to do it myself, but the previous analysis process, you can omit, and maybe you can also optimize the spell rune and spell model, and directly select the refined type, or even the perfect type of spell rune. ”

"Although a standard spell rune like this is stable, it is too mediocre in all aspects, and it is a bit of a waste to fail to highlight the advantages of my sufficient magic power. ”

Lance kept thinking as he parsed the rune group of the [Aotland Lightning Chain].

Minutes and seconds passed.

......

Two weeks later, Lance completed the rune group analysis of the Aotland Lightning Chain and began to enter the memory stage. As a result, I don't know if it was because of the great increase in his spiritual power, the complex rune group was suddenly written down by Lan Sishun lì, and it was deeply imprinted in his mind, and it was as strong as other simple runes.

Next, he spent another two days constructing the spiritual power rune of the lightning chain rune group for the first time, and the first second-level witchcraft rune that he had learned by himself finally appeared in his brain domain.

But by this time, he had to stop what he was doing and leave his room.

He went to Laughron's study, and entered the secret room behind the screen.

At this moment, the clean and spacious secret room had already been prepared, bright lights filled every corner of the room, and a wizard dressed in white nodded at Lance.

Laughlen, dressed in a thin suit, walked over from the other side and asked in a low voice, "Are you ready?"

The wizard in white nodded.

The old man no longer hesitated, but sat on a white operating table. The shape of this operating table is very strange, protruding on both sides and concave in the middle, and the shape is more like a coffin.

Lance watched the qiē silently, without making a sound.

This was one of the conditions on which Lance agreed to make a deal with Lauchren - to be able to observe the operation to remove his toxins.

For Lance, he wondered what Lauchran would do to get the toxin out of his body. After all, the poison dragon's toxin is almost irresistible to humans, and it is already a miracle that he can support it for so many years.

"If you want to get rid of these deep-rooted toxins, there is almost no other way than to change the body. That's what Lance has in mind. (To be continued......)
