Section 15 The Coming Crisis (Fourth Update!)
"Yes, I do come from the Black Rose Order. I'm not an official member, though, otherwise this tattoo would have turned into a real black rose. ”
Bejeka thought for a moment and began to speak slowly: "I'm just a reserve member, as you know, the Black Rose Organization has a magical spell that can take other people's mana pools, which sounds terrifying, but in fact, this powerful ability has limitations. And the fear of the wizards is magnified by the fact that those who know some of this information often make a lot of nonsense and describe the people of our organization as female devils, but this is not the case. ”
Lance raised an eyebrow, looking unsure if he could do it.
Bejeka's expression was serious, and she told a few things about Black Rose in general.
In her mouth, Black Rose is like a misunderstood organization. The organization only recruits witches—but not because of the limitations of the cult, but because of the personal preferences of the organization's founder. And about the signature witchcraft that can seize other people's magic pools, it is even more maliciously smeared.
"This spell - strictly speaking, it's not even a spell, it's a ritual, and its name is [Mana Pool Grafting]. This is a very restrictive ritual, and many members of the Black Rose will not be able to meet the requirements of the spell for the rest of their lives, so they will not be able to graft the mana pool. ”
"I don't know what the rumors say about us, but from a ritual point of view, it is the most difficult to loot the mana pool from a human body. Few members of the Black Rose have plundered the magic pool from their fellow humans, which is contrary to conscience and morality. Second, it's very difficult. If you know that there are many non-human monsters in this world, but there are also magic pools in the body, you will understand us. ”
"I guess you noticed the three magic pools on my body and found out who I am. Bejeka said helplessly: "Of the three magic pools, the weakest one, the one I have been showing, is the one I have cultivated. The other two pools of mana, one fully sealed and one semi-sealed, were soured from other creatures. ”
"But I can assure you. Both of these mana pools are monsters. And not human. ”
"What's more, as I mentioned earlier, there are a lot of restrictions on this ritual. The most obvious limitation is quantitative. As a second-level wizard, it stands to reason. I can only loot a mana pool at most. Otherwise, it's out of my control. There is going to be hell to pay. When I was young and vigorous, I created my own method of taking turns sealing the mana pool, and I was driven by greed to plunder one more mana pool. It turned out to be wrong now. ”
"So, you can rest assured. Your mana pool is powerful enough to make anyone salivate, but I can't digest that many mana pools myself, let alone beat your mind. ”
Bejieka's eyes were clear, and she calmly met Lance's scrutinizing gaze, as if everything she said was true.
Lance thought over what she had said, and it didn't seem to be flawed.
"So, your mana knot is also due to the extra mana pool?" asked Lance.
Beijieka nodded: "It is precisely because of the plundering of one more magic power pool that the secret method of guiding my cultivation is no longer able to control it." Obviously, the sealing method I created was unreliable, so in desperation, I could only accumulate the magic power that caused a strict rejection reaction to my body between the right ribs, and finally formed a more strict knot of magic power. ”
"Actually, now I can't wait to strip this magic pool, after all, although magic is important, life is a more precious thing. But I can't do that anymore. By the time I realized this, it was too late, the mana pool was so firmly bonded to my body that forcibly depriving it could kill me. ”
"I was really terrified when Eminem told me that I might only have three years to live if I didn't find a way to solve the problem of the magic pool. I began to realize that it was my own hubris and ignorance that had harmed me. It doesn't hurt to tell you a few more details: if I don't take out this magic knot within three months, my body will begin to decay due to the disorder of my magic power. In fact, before I stepped on this ship, I already knew that I was aware of the problem, but I didn't expect that this matter would come so quickly and so strictly. ”
Lance bowed his head and groaned. Bejeka's rhetoric was flawless, and he believed that such a powerful spell would have all the limitations—otherwise it would have been popularized long ago.
It was just Betteka's last words that suddenly woke up Lance.
She said she was aware of the problem before she even stepped on the boat. So the purpose of her search for Aiken whale oil......"
Lance's mind spun quickly, and he thought of something that Bejecca hadn't mentioned.
Eiken whale oil has a powerful blend of magical power, and it is precisely because of this unique property that it has become an important material for high-quality effect in magic refining. The problem of the mana pool that Bejieka needs to solve seems to be related to the characteristics of the unstable mana.
"It seems that Eiken whale oil may play an extremely important role in solving the problem of Bejieka's magic pool. Lance secretly speculated in his heart: "The method of removing the magic knot through guò surgery is just an expedient measure." After all, after the magic knot is taken out, if the fundamental problem is not solved, then the chaotic magic will soon form a new magic knot. ”
It's no wonder that Bejecca, like herself, is in a hurry to find Eiken whale oil. Lance is in a hurry to improve her strength, she is in a hurry to save her life. This means that in the future search for Aiken whale oil, the other party's demand must be very strong and urgent.
At some point, the relationship between the two sides may not be as harmonious as it is now.
From another point of view, the same is true of the twenty external wizards on this ship, and even the other wizards of the Alliance. There is no permanent partnership in the face of real interests.
Thinking of this, Lance couldn't help but smile slightly:
"Well, I'm willing to help you. I have one condition, though. ”
......
"You've been thinking about it for half an hour. That's not your style of doing things. Or is it a sign that you're going to invite me to dinner?"
Russell joked.
In the quiet room, the prophet's nice voice sounded again: "Don't worry. This kind of thing, I have to think about it. ”
"Whatever the problem, I'll help you solve it. As long as it's in this island of the sun, except for a few people, no one is my opponent. ”
Russell said confidently, "Or you can help me solve the problem first." My promise always works. ”
"No, I don't believe you. Russell, I know who you are. ”
Eminem grinned and said, "But don't worry, I've made a decision." I'll help you, but you have to do something for me. ”
"What's the matter?" Russell asked anxiously.
"On your ship, there is a man named Lance. He's your outside wizard. Now he has a little girl by his side. ”
Eminem said calmly, "I want that little girl." But you can't sue anyone, it's my command. ”
"Little girl?" Russell was a little puzzled, "What about Lance?"
"Whatever you want. Kill or let go, it doesn't matter. ”
Eminem said happily, "I just want that little girl." ”
"Deal?"
Russell immediately stood up and said heavily, "Deal!"
......
In the spacious cabin, the quietest meditation room was set up as a makeshift operating room.
Bejeka was lying on the operating table topless, covering her chest with a purple towel, and the whole person looked extremely charming.
"I doubt you invited me to have surgery, or something else. ”
Lance shrugged his shoulders with a silver scalpel in his hand: "You're pretty well equipped here. ”
The purple-haired girl smiled proudly: "Isn't my purpose obvious? If you are a man, you should behave like a man, instead of scruples about this and that...... I'm a weak woman lying here, but you don't even dare to look at it, and sometimes I really wonder if you're a man or not?"
Lance took a step closer with a scalpel: "I'm not a man, there's no need to let you know." ”
"Haha, did I tell me the matter?" Bejieka smiled deliciously, "I just said, how can there be such a beautiful man in this world......"
However, at this moment, Lance suddenly reached out and pressed Bejieka, a trace of panic flashed in the latter's eyes, and then there was a sharp pain in the chest and abdomen!
"You're going to tear me apart!" Bejeka yelled angrily.
"Quiet. ”
I don't know when the scalpel had been thrown to the ground by Lance, who was carrying a pair of tweezers in his hand.
He pressed the girl's chest with one hand, and with the other hand, he quickly took advantage of the two-foot-long wound that had not yet healed, and suddenly took out the slippery little bead.
The whole action is smooth, and as Bejeka said, the movement of Lance, who turned on the [powder] sub-chip, is quite precise and steady.
"Look, we succeeded. ”
Lance continued to do so, pressing his left hand on Betteka's body.
Bejeka blushed: "You bastard......! Do you want to disembowel me?"
"I can't stop the blood, my sheets are stained red!...... It hurts me to death......"
Lance shrugged, "Looks like I'm overestimating your ability to heal yourself. ”
Betteka angrily pushed away Lance's brazen claws, and suddenly screamed, "Be careful!"
Lance turned his head suddenly, only to see that the magic knot that had been caught by the tweezers suddenly became very unstable. (To be continued......)
