Wizard Bloodline.

Chapter 236 Elopement
His body was severely damaged. If it were not for the strong physique brought by practicing [Austerity Body Tempering], an ordinary wizard would have to undergo drastic alchemical transformation on his body in order to survive, even if he did not abandon his body.

Even so, the power of the Dawn-level spell Bone Flame also penetrated into his body. Even though the vitality ball in his body had been working hard to "remove" it, some of it still remained, so that his injuries healed quite slowly. Now, if he took off his robe and mask, he would look terrible.

Of course, Ronan also gained some benefits from this.

After enduring the erosion and burning of the spell flames for half a month, his master-level proficiency in [Austerity Body Tempering] skyrocketed, breaking through the 1,400-point mark and approaching 1,500-point proficiency, becoming the skill on the character panel that is closest to the master-level perfection.

Apart from that, there was a superficial easing of relations with Molly.

The two of them can now at least exchange a few simple words occasionally like ordinary friends, no longer filled with resentment and tension like before.

"cluck"

A girl's sweet laughter came from somewhere below.

Ronan slowly picked up the silver metal mask on the ground and put it back on, then looked in the direction where the laughter came from.

On the deck at the bow of the magic ship, two girls were standing together and chatting. One of them was very familiar to Ronan, Molly. She suddenly ran downstairs without him noticing.

Standing next to Molly was a girl with light green hair, about the same age as Molly, and quite cute.

She seemed to be very amused by Molly's words, and the laughter Ronan heard came from her mouth.

Not far from the two of them, there was a stern man with many black lines on his face. He looked like the green-haired girl's bodyguard. When Ronan looked at the two of them, the stern man with the black lines immediately looked at Ronan with a bit of cold scrutiny in his eyes.

Ronan glanced at him calmly and then looked away.

For the next two months of the journey, their activities were limited to a ship. Given Molly's personality, it was impossible for her not to find something to do to kill the boring time.

Let her be. Compared to paying attention to Molly, Ronan feels that he should be more worried about the safety of those who come into contact with her.

Although Molly looks harmless now, before this, she was the famous "Ashe Witch" in the central wizarding world.

As for the green-haired girl opposite, she is just an ordinary first-level wizard, but the cold-looking man with black patterns next to her has reached the late second level in strength.

The ship currently sailing towards the east coast was also because of them, so Ronan and the others could be said to have benefited from these two people.

The town of Homer Blue was destroyed by the fourth-level Dawn Wizard of the Resurrection Society. Naturally, the agreement between Ronan and the "Black Swan" Chamber of Commerce no longer existed. He was also lucky, as he stayed in the port for two days and was able to catch this favorable ship.

Ronan stood on the deck for a while, and when the magic ship completely entered the ocean area and the dock was no longer visible, he returned to his room.

After setting up the shielding and protective rune array, Ronan took off his mask, took off his robe, and as usual, took a look at his physical condition.

His body is now covered with festering and suppurating wounds from burns, it is a horrible sight.

But if you look closely, you will find that some flesh has grown under the wounds, and the internal organs are quite healthy. Apart from the pain caused by the deterioration and healing of the wounds, it is actually not serious.

At this rate of healing, he might be fully recovered before the ship reaches the east coast.

By then, your body will become even stronger.

Ronan took out the healing powder and carefully changed the medicine on all the wounds on his body. Then he summoned titanium and let it continue to devour the "Red Lotus Cane".

The titanium was also severely damaged during the time at Homer Blue, with the total amount left being the size of a human head. If Ronan had felt somewhat guilty about using Molly's Red Lotus Cane to feed the titanium, now he felt justified.

He also let out the metal goat Dodor III, who had not been seen for a long time, to get some fresh air. Ronan put some unused metal scraps on the floor and let it run around in the small room.

After doing all this, Ronan officially began his hard training for the day.

In addition to the required daily meditation exercises, Ronan currently focuses on two areas.

One is the metal magic inheritance of [Golden Fire Spirit Maya].

After being promoted to a third-level wizard, Ronan was able to practice almost all of the five spells of Maya, the Golden Fire Spirit.

Only after practicing did he realize how difficult this set of spell inheritance was. Logically speaking, they were all mist-level spells, but Ronan felt that they were more mysterious than the [Ghost Arrow] inheritance he got from "Skeleton Deathstroke" Mammoth.

There is a mysterious connection between the five spells, with [The Golden Law of Spyrth] as the core. The ultimate goal seems to be to completely construct the true body of the spell belonging to [Maya, the Golden Fire Spirit].

It was the first time that Ronan encountered such an interesting spell, which could be performed independently or in complex combinations.

The process of practicing and exploring new spells is fun in itself, and Ronan never gets tired of it.

The second direction is the study of runes.

Ronan now has six spiritual power crystals, and the seventh is in the process of condensing, but he has only condensed five soul symbols.

Ronan still has space for at least four soul sigils.

The ice magic inheritance of the "Ice Flame Iris" Lanster family definitely does not occupy enough of these four soul symbol positions. Ronan's current consideration is to combine the [Elemental Magic Ring] inheritance of the Silver Magic Ring with the various space, mirror and Heramus Magician inheritances in his hands to make the most suitable choice for himself.

"The previous few soul symbols can also be further optimized and upgraded."

Whether it is [Silverization of Space], [Tundra Frozen Soil], or [Multiple Mirror Lights], from Ronan's current perspective, there is a lot of room for improvement and perfection.

The rune knowledge contained in the armband of the Heramus Guardian is as vast as the starry sky. After a period of research, Ronan has gained many new insights, and has a deeper understanding of the Orb of All Things, the "dynamic" space rune obtained in the mysterious garden, and so on.

Coupled with the gains from a series of battles in the Wizards War, Ronan now has all kinds of inspirations in his mind all the time.

He needs some time to settle down, absorb and transform these inspirations and gains. In time, his overall strength will be reborn again.

Time passed day by day, and Ronan never left the room since he boarded the ship.

Every meal of the day would be delivered to his door by someone, and he only needed to sense Molly's breath and location occasionally, and didn't care about anything else.

In the dim room, the sunlight shines through the gap in the curtains, casting a straight orange spot on the paulownia wood floor.

There was a tall and upright figure standing in front of a metal silver mirror. At his feet, a furry gray goat was licking his toes out of boredom.

"The injury has healed faster than expected."

"Kakaka-"

Ronan looked at himself in the mirror, stretched his limbs slightly, and a series of crisp and dense bone cracking sounds came from his body.

Compared to more than a month ago, he undoubtedly looks much better now.

Most of the "burns" on the body surface have healed, leaving only some bumpy hyperplastic scars on the skin and flesh, which will take time to heal bit by bit.

His facial features also revealed their original handsome outlines, and his scalp had regrown hair, a short layer of brown chestnut color, which, combined with the scars that had not yet been removed, gave Ronan a fierce and domineering temperament. Ronan found a robe and slowly put it on, covering the firm and smooth muscle lines, and put on a silver metal mask, revealing only a pair of deep blue eyes like gemstones.

The man in the mirror is cold and deep, giving people a sense of unfathomable depth and mystery.

In a trance, Ronan seemed to see the shadow of a sunny, slightly plump boy moving away from him in the mirror.
He shook his head, erasing the slight ripples in his heart.

Just call up your current character panel.

【Name: Ronan Damien】

【Age: 21】

[Strength: Level 65 Formal Wizard (%)]

[Skill: Basic Meditation—Empty and Clear Realm (Master 1369/1600).]

Over the past month, except for his strength, the data of all his skills on his character panel have not changed much from when the battle ended.

In addition to the significant increase in his proficiency in [Basic Meditation], the rest are the five inherited spells of [Golden Fire Lingmaya] - [Lingmaya Black Steel Touch], [Lingmaya Silver Body], [Lingmaya Bronze Head], [Lingmaya Diamond Heart], and [Lingmaya Golden Soul], all of which he has practiced to above the "Mastery Level".

Among them, the one with the highest proficiency, [Lingmaya Black Steel Touch], has even reached the "expert level".

The main reason for the rapid progress was not only because of Ronan's outstanding ability to comprehension spells, but also because he had felt earlier that the real starting point of these five spells was after the extraordinary domain of magic was derived.

Compared with the progress in spells, the gains from rune research are actually greater.

He already had some ideas about how to expand and apply the mysteries of space and mirrors to his own magic system. He just needed to perfect it further and then put it into practice to verify it.

“Let’s go for a walk.”

Ronan bent down and touched the soft and fluffy little head of Dodor III, which did not look like a metal creature at all. He put it into the space ring, then pushed open the door and slowly walked out.

A flash of orange-red light instantly came into his eyes.

It was just when the sun was about to set. The sea was calm and filled with golden light, while the vast sky was covered with brilliant fiery clouds.

Ronan walked to the railing at the edge of the deck and looked down.

On the largest deck at the bottom were a group of apprentice-level teenagers, who were gathered together and talking loudly about some random topics, while their eyes kept glancing upwards as if they were trying to attract someone's attention.

On the third deck above the group of people, there was a small white table. A red-haired girl and a green-haired girl were huddled together, chatting in low voices, occasionally letting out a slight laugh.

Ronan's appearance attracted the attention of two groups of people. The teenagers below naturally had nothing to say, but the two girls on the third deck looked at him together.

The red-haired girl glanced at him and then looked away, but the green-haired girl next to her looked at him with a curious expression.

Beside the two of them, the stern man with black lines was there as usual. He turned his head and looked at Ronan. The sternness on his face eased, and he even smiled at Ronan kindly.

Ronan couldn't help but be surprised.

No one knew what Molly had been doing on the ship for the past month. It was fine that the group of young men below were fooled by her beauty, but the green-haired girl, who seemed to have a decent status, actually treated her as well as her best friend. Even the guards around her treated her better.

“So boring.”

A few minutes later, Molly, who had left the third deck, yawned and walked to Ronan. She leaned on the wooden railing beside him, squinting her eyes and lazily looked at the fiery clouds in the distance.

"There is almost nothing on this ship that can arouse my interest."

Ronan listened to Molly's mumbling, and suddenly caught a glimpse of strange fluctuations in her body. His eyes narrowed slightly, and he said, "Your strength is recovering."

"if not"

Molly turned her head to look at him, the color of the sunset reflected on her cheeks, and she smiled, "Do you want me to be like a piece of trash and let you control me?"

The two looked at each other silently.

To outsiders, the two of them seem romantic and ambiguous, but only the parties involved know that the air around them is gradually becoming colder and more tense.

at last
"Do not."

Ronan shook his head and turned away from Molly's gaze.

He looked at the horizon and said calmly, "On the contrary, I think this is a good thing. You should be ten thousand times more eager to get rid of your current situation than I am."

"Hey"

Molly sighed softly for some reason. She leaned over the railing, waved to the green-haired girl who was looking at them curiously below, and began to talk about some seemingly unrelated topics.

"What a pure and lovely girl. At an age when she should be enjoying her youth, she has to shoulder the responsibility of avenging her entire family."

Molly talked to herself, her eyes fell on the green-haired girl on the third deck, telling her her name, and how her entire family was wiped out by the enemy's hands, and how she was taken away by the remaining members of the family, fleeing to a place where the enemy could not find her, looking for an opportunity for revenge.
Ronan listened to Molly's story and gradually sensed something strange. The connection between him and Molly allowed him to detect the slightest emotional fluctuations in Molly's heart at this moment.

What she was telling didn't seem to be just a story about the green-haired girl below.

The pain and sadness that Molly had expressed in Homer Blue's hotel room under the heavy rain seemed to surge up in her again.

Perhaps because of the soul connection between the two, Ronan actually felt some inexplicable, "absurd" sympathy and pity for Molly.

He couldn't suppress the urge to ask, but before he could say anything, he changed the question.

"You know so much about her?

How could she even tell you this?"

"Because we are in the same boat."

Molly stood up and looked into the distance with eyes so calm and indifferent at this moment that Ronan felt unprecedentedly unfamiliar.

But the next second, she turned around and said to Ronan with a playful look, "I told them that we eloped. Your family has always disagreed with us being together because I don't have any wizard talent. Along the way, you almost died several times because of me."

"Uh"

Ronan was stunned for a moment and didn't know what to say for a moment.

No wonder he hadn't shown up for more than a month. The attitudes of the green-haired girl and the other girl towards him had changed so much, and they looked at him with strange eyes full of admiration.
It turns out that she regards him as the "great lover" in the wizarding world who is willing to give up everything for love!
Just when Ronan was speechless, suddenly, the brilliant fiery clouds in the distant sky disappeared abruptly in a few breaths.

The sky quickly darkened, and the sea below began to violently turbulent.
