This wizard only wants to take students.

Chapter 124 Analysis; Treatment

Lucian silently watched the snake mother disappear again, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

“This knowledge restricted by the contract is troublesome…” Lucian muttered to himself, and then slowly walked out of the underground library along the original entrance path.

As he left, Lucian quietly took out the "doll" arm again, and carefully sensed the environment around his body, especially the movements from inside the dream layer.

Lucian's pace was not fast, he was also quietly waiting for Adeline.

However, he did not sense any movement in the dream layer until he walked out of the underground passage of the library. It was not until Lucian walked out of the secret passage and returned to the library that his mental power was released. He also felt a faint breath that seemed to follow him and stared at the arm in his hand.

“It seems that he doesn’t dare to follow me into the underground library because of the dean’s arrangement?” Lucian came to a conclusion in his mind. He didn’t say anything, but just silently recorded this information.

“But you dare to let your nightmare creature continue to follow me in the academy. Do you really think you have me under control?” Lucian snorted in his heart, but his pace quickened slightly.

But when he walked to a window with the outer layer covered with paper, he saw a girl in a dress holding a broken doll. She was looking up at him with a pair of big watery eyes.

Through the medium of the window, Lucian could even feel the helplessness in the little girl's heart, and even developed a sense of "guilt" in his heart. Then, in his heart, he had an urge to return the arm to the girl in front of him.

Fortunately, Lucian's mental strength quickly suppressed the sudden effect of the confusing witchcraft, and when Lucian saw the window again, the strange scene inside the window had disappeared.

In Lucian’s spiritual perception, the figure inside the dream layer had gradually moved away, and it seemed that today’s exploration had ended.

"You will pay the price for your arrogance today." Lucian lowered his head slightly, then quickly left the library.

After returning to his residence, the first thing Lucian did was to renovate his laboratory.

Of course, it may be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it is a transformation. It mainly involves arranging several wizard formations specifically for isolating or suppressing spirits on the basis of the defensive wizard formations originally arranged in the residence.

After all, Lucian didn't want his every move in the laboratory to be spied on and coveted by others. Although some of his behaviors could not be understood even by Adeline, no one would be willing to tolerate a little mouse peeking into his room every day.

Especially since he still had some "evil thoughts" towards her, and even the wizard Loren behind her.

“That should be about it.” Lucian looked at the magic circle he had just set up. The magic blending agent in some areas had not dried up completely yet and still had a semi-fluid texture.

However, Lucian took out a sea-blue transparent crystal ball from his space ring, placed the crystal ball in the core area of ​​the magic circle, and then completely activated the magic circle he learned from the underground library.

Buzz—when the magic circle was activated, Lucian only felt a gentle push quietly passing by him. After experiencing the initial slight discomfort, Lucian quickly adjusted himself.

"A slight feeling of oppression, as if the air has become slightly thicker..." Lucian was also comparing the environmental changes within this layer of the barrier. At the same time, he was manipulating his mental power to see the effect of the barrier on the dream layer at this time.

But soon, Lucian discovered that the dream layer inside the barrier had been completely stagnant. If the air in the real world became slightly sticky due to the influence of the barrier, then the dream layer had become extremely "tight" under the influence of the barrier.

It is like the original liquid has turned into solid bricks. It is difficult for creatures lurking in the dream layer to pass through the barrier and move freely inside the dream layer with this texture.

"Okay, now we can start the research." Lucian nodded with satisfaction, then took out the severed limb from his space ring and began to try to use the partial knowledge of spiritualism and transformation that he had currently mastered to perform the simplest observation and analysis on it.

Soon, Lucian sensed a subtle aura of witchcraft at the interface of the severed limb. It seemed that a special witchcraft array was flowing inside the severed limb and was echoing with a certain location in the distance.

“Sure enough.” Lucian’s heart moved, and then he took out a scalpel and carefully cut open the coarse cloth covering the doll’s severed limb.

"Hmm?" When Lucian started to try to cut, he felt a great resistance from the scalpel.

The rough cloth, which looked fragile and had obvious cracks and even some unraveling threads at the cracks, now showed unreasonably toughness under the scalpel.

Even now, Lucian could feel the resistance coming from the severed limb, a kind of defensive sorcery, but much weaker.

If Lucian wanted, he could use his mental power to directly defeat this resistance, but the consequence might be that this special piece of doll limb would be directly destroyed.

“Forget it.” Lucian stopped what he was doing, then looked at the scalpel, which now had a tiny cut, and paused slightly.

Because at this moment, an extremely tiny red dot appeared on the smooth surface of the scalpel.

An ordinary person wouldn't even be able to see this tiny red dot, but Lucian discovered it thanks to his keen mental power after being promoted to a formal wizard.

This is human blood...

Lucian looked down at the severed limb on the table, and the limb seemed to be responding to Lucian's gaze. Its cloth hands moved slightly, as if trying to escape.

"It seems that this transformation is reversible to a certain extent..." Lucian put down the scalpel and quickly recorded the several witchcraft runes he had just seen on the severed limb.

For wizards, time always passes quickly during research and analysis.

However, for Carly, during this period of time she felt the "warmth" of Gray Bone Academy.

"Sir." Walking on the streets of the trading area, other apprentices passing by bowed humbly after seeing Carly's iconic silver hair. Many even took the initiative to make way and respectfully retreated to the sides of the road.

Even the apprentices who were setting up stalls around to trade lowered their voices, as if they were afraid of disturbing Carly's thoughts or interest.

When Carly's eyes swept over them, many apprentices showed their friendliest and kindest smiles, and some even looked a little humble; and when Carly's eyes moved away from them, many apprentices had a deep envy or even jealousy in their eyes. Pure-blooded fairies... and the kind of powerful fairies that can continue to transform as they grow and eventually become formal wizards.

Becoming a formal wizard is something that many apprentices can only dream of. But for Carly, this is a sure thing. She doesn't need to fight hard, make sacrifices, or have luck. She only needs to polish her bloodline step by step to be recommended as a formal wizard.

What's even more terrible is that it seems that Lady Carly, at the beginning, had only the weakest first-class wizard qualification.

Some of the weak apprentices looked at Carly with naked desire in their eyes.

In their eyes, Carly seemed to represent a kind of hope, a miracle. They themselves did not see much hope of becoming a formal wizard, but Carly's existence ignited the fantasy in their hearts.

……

Facing the naked looks from the apprentices around her, Carly looked extremely calm, even a little aloof.

If it were the first few days after returning to the academy, Carly might have felt a little uncomfortable or a little awkward, but now, she has completely become accustomed to facing this kind of "enthusiasm" from other wizard apprentices.

She quietly walked into a shop selling magic potions, "I want two bags of blood fruit seeds. By the way, if you have seeds of other magic plants here, give me a bag of each..."

"Yes, Master Carly."

The manager of this fixed store that specializes in selling magic plants is a fat-looking third-level wizard apprentice. When he looked at Carly, his smile on his face had wrinkles. He walked quickly to the small warehouse behind the store and began to select magic plant seeds quickly.

At this moment, his somewhat bloated body was so flexible as if he was dancing a strange dance.

"Lady Carly, there are a total of 7 magic stones. Don't worry, I, Barto, have carefully selected them. They are all the fullest seeds with the highest magic content..." The fat apprentice Barto quickly took out a large bag of seeds. He didn't even bother to wipe the sweat off his face and handed the bag of seeds to Carly.

"7 magic stones?" Carly was slightly stunned. She looked at the big bag of seeds in her hand, but was a little surprised that the price seemed to have become a little lower.

"Well, my family leader has already instructed that from now on, when Lady Carly comes to us to buy seeds, magic plants, or anything else from other stores opened by our Boyle family, we will only charge you the cost price..." Barto bowed slightly at this time, his eyes sincere with a hint of flattery and envy.

"Of course, when we purchase Lady Carly's items, we promise not to earn a single magic stone! We, the Boyle family, just want to make friends with Lady Carly!"

Carly was silent, but finally nodded. "Thank you, Barton."

Looking at Barton's seemingly surprised expression at this moment, there was a hint of complexity in the depths of Carly's eyes.

In the wizarding world that advocates equal exchange, for someone like her who has a 99% chance of being promoted to the official wizard level, even "friendship" is very precious.

The Boyle family was not the first wizard family to befriend her, and they certainly would not be the last. She did not need to say anything, but those wizard apprentices and wizard families who had once been arrogant in front of her now expressed their sincerity and goodwill in front of her.

Even if she wanted, she could just wave her hand and gather a group of second-level wizard apprentices or even third-level wizard apprentices as her subordinates. She could even learn from other third-level wizard apprentices and formal wizards and exploit them cruelly...

But before, these people seemed extremely indifferent, and when they were discussing her and Mentor Lucian and others going to Cosay Island, there was even a hint of gloating on their faces.

Or is this the influence brought by strength?

Carly said this silently to herself, and at the same time she couldn't help but gently clench her hands.

After all, in terms of strength, she is still relatively weak. These wizard apprentices or wizard families value her potential rather than her current strength, which makes Carly feel a sense of urgency.

"Let's go practice with Edison again tonight." Carly showed a smile on her face. At this moment, Edison was one of the few people in Gray Bone Academy who could communicate with her in a relatively normal attitude. Also for this reason, Carly was more caring towards this junior brother who had not yet "married".

Even when facing Edison, Carly could still feel a sense of "upgrade".

"I hope that when I go back for a surprise inspection, you'd better be training instead of being lazy or dazed..." After Carly put away the purchased seeds, she walked quickly towards the training ground, and the smile on her lips became more obvious.

Behind her, the shop owner Patton watched Carly go away with a smile.

"Mr. Barton, these are the blue mushrooms we collected in the Gray Valley Forest..." Four second-level wizard apprentices who looked a little embarrassed carefully handed over two wooden boxes.

However, when Barton faced these second-level wizard apprentices, the smile on his face turned into indifference.

"Blue mushrooms? We have too many blue mushrooms to recycle now, so the price will definitely go down. We won't even take some blue mushrooms of poor quality." Barton casually checked the blue mushrooms in the box, then glanced at the second-level wizard apprentices. "One price, three magic stones."

"These are worth at least 12 magic stones! This is the result of our hard work..." An apprentice's voice was a little sharp.

But Barton interrupted the other party with a sneer, his eyes were extremely cold.

"You can choose not to sell them, but I want to remind you that if these blue mushrooms are not preserved in time, their value will be further reduced. So you are the ones who should be anxious, I am not anxious at all. By the way, because of you personally, if you want to sell them, the price will be reduced by another half a magic stone."

After saying that, Barton clapped his hands, ignored the group of Level 2 wizard apprentices who were staring at each other, and turned back into the shop.

Outside the door, the sound of a slight quarrel between the apprentices could be heard...
