Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Chapter 193 Earning Elizabeth to "Go Up the Mountain"

The sect leader is having another fit of madness.

The quest reward for exploring Chachdis Town yielded 3000 experience points, a huge sum for Jashu at his current level.

not bad.

But what the hell is that little dark room?

Is this the name a legitimate spell should have?
Could it be that he was about to complete the task and didn't know what to use, so he just created a spell on the spot and then made up a name for it?

It feels like something this sect leader would do.

[The Dark Room: A small space that can provide conditions for magical experiments and simulate experimental targets]

The name is so outrageous, but the function seems quite practical.

Simulation experiments, if they are realistic enough, can save a lot of resources and time.

The typical process of testing a new spell involves first repeatedly demonstrating its theoretical feasibility, then testing it by casting it without a target, and finally finding a target.

If the simulation is reliable, then we can skip the previous steps and use it directly to test it. Trying it out is always the most convenient way to find problems.

Just like sometimes when you can't answer a multiple-choice question, you can try plugging in the answer key.

Every academic spellcaster should need this spell.

The previous magic book was "compilation software," and now they've created a little black room that's "simulation software."

The magic industry, thanks to the sect leader's actions, has truly taken on an engineering-like feel.

There is nothing mysterious or unknowable about it; it is all about experiments and logical reasoning.

Is this the future of magic, or is it something unique to him, the sect leader?

How well the simulation function of the "little black room" works remains to be tested in detail; we'll discuss that again when we return to school.

There are one last things to do in the town of Çachdis.

Although the exploration mission was completed, Elizabeth, such a large primal vampire, was still waiting there.

She awaits a truth that must be incredibly cruel to her.

The moment Jashu stepped out of the portal, his gaze met that of Elizabeth, who was staring at them expectantly.

Not weak, but pitiful and helpless.

She really wanted to ask what was on the other side of the portal, but seeing that Jia Xiu and the others looked exhausted from their journey and seemed ready to lie down and sleep, she was too embarrassed to ask.

Despite being a powerful vampire, he is very thin-skinned and has very little social experience because he spends most of his time sleeping.

Faced with the timid Elizabeth, Jasmine didn't know how to tell her that everyone on the other side of the portal was dead.

Having learned how vampires came to be, Jasmine could now pretty much guess Elizabeth's past.

She was probably just an ordinary little girl who was accidentally captured by the Anka Gate trap, which transported her here by turbulent currents. After being transformed by the infection and conversion spell originally prepared for demons, she became a vampire, lost many of her memories, could no longer speak her original words, and was also imprinted with a thought imprint.

Regardless of whether the mission can be accomplished, even if it is, the legendary final destination is actually the "bloodthirsty transformation body" destruction array.

Later, in order to protect the only hope in his life, the Gate of Anka, he put himself into a deep sleep by transferring his own magic power, instead of lording it over others and developing his own race like other original vampires.

The only organization that uses her name is a delusional cult with an astonishing capacity for imagination.

That cult is gone now.

Now, she rarely wakes up, and when she goes outside, she bumps into a demigod who is about to kill her.

Jassiu even suspected that Elizabeth might be Ram's adversary.

One is a sign of good fortune, the other a sign of misfortune.

Luck in the world is shared by all, and the eight bushels that Ramu gets are probably taken from these unlucky guys.

Everyone else also noticed Elizabeth's hesitation.

“Go ahead, tell them,” Justina tugged at Jassiu’s shoulder. “They opened the portal for us and helped us so much, we have to know the truth.”

"Should I tell the truth or make something up?"

Jasmine wasn't sure if Elizabeth could handle the truth, and he felt that this unfortunate vampire should go out and experience the wider world.

Don't shut yourself off when you hear the truth.

"It's up to you now," Justina said, looking forward to a good show.

"Why can't you say it? You're a demigod, wouldn't it seem more serious and formal if you said it?"

"I don't speak her language."

Jia Xiu scratched his head. Oh well, it was his job to take on this task.

Meeting Elizabeth's expectant gaze, he steeled himself and walked over.

I picked up a pen and paper and began to carefully consider my words.

Upon reflection, it suddenly dawned on me that Elizabeth and the other original vampires were very likely the last beings to speak the Anka language.

The tentacle monsters only left a dictionary in the library, which only taught the definitions, not the pronunciation, so we could only learn the mute Anka language.

Elizabeth had already anticipated a less than favorable outcome, and seeing J. Xiu's hesitation, she wrote it down first.

"I can accept whatever the outcome may be, please just tell me."

Jia Xiu clicked his tongue in exasperation and began to write furiously.

He wrote down everything about the Anka clan's plane of existence, their battle for survival against the demons, the reason for the creation of the item that could transform people into vampires, and why it appeared here.

However, some details were appropriately reduced, such as the part where the portal leads to the destruction array.

The creatures that turned them into vampires ultimately planned to exterminate them; it sounds too cruel.

In fact, the Anka tribe did not commit any subjective wrongdoing in this process. They did not want to harm humans, and they had no idea what humans were.

If anyone knew, they wouldn't have spent so much time sweeping around the entrance to the library.

All of this was purely an objective accident. If one had to find a party to be responsible, Jia Xiu felt that only the Demon Clan could be held accountable.

The root of all these tragedies lies in the invasion of the demon race.

Elizabeth looked at what Jasmine had written and fell into a long silence.

Jia Xiu noticed that her already pale face had become even paler, and he was prepared for her to suddenly convulse and fall into a coma.

However, it does not.

After reading through these contents several times, Elizabeth did not faint. Although her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her inner turmoil, she still managed to force a smile.

He picked up his pen and replied, "Fortunately, at least it seems I no longer need to guard the Gate of Anka."

Because the magical research of the Anka clan has been rescued, as long as the investment is made, repairing, restoring, or even building a new Anka Gate should not be too much of a problem in the future.

There's no point in clinging to this "last hope."

It is neither the end nor the hope.

Elizabeth forced a smile, but her eyes were filled with uncertainty about the future.

Upon learning the truth and feeling relieved, she realized that she didn't know what to do next.

The first step for many immortal species to fall into depression is not knowing what to do.

However, Elizabeth is indeed a strong vampire.

Her confusion only lasted a short while before she found a new goal.

Where are the demons?

"There are plenty in the north, and there should be quite a few mixed in with various countries. I don't know why they worship the demon race, but you can find some if you want to."

Jia Xiu answered truthfully. "Take me to fight the devil, okay?"

"what?"

Jia Xiu let out a "ha".

Elizabeth had come to understand that the "ha" represented doubt with a hint of negation.

So she began to explain, "Anyway, this plan to become a vampire was originally meant to deal with the demons, wasn't it? Besides, the demons invaded other races' planes and even wiped them out, proving that the demons are no good. It's perfectly reasonable for me to deal with the demons."

Jia Xiu really wanted to say, "Sister, you overestimate me. He does have a lot of connections with the demons, especially devils. I don't know if the devils are still watching him. But as for dealing with the demons, it's not his turn for a while, let alone leading others."

Elizabeth thought Jasmine thought she was a burden, so she continued to add to the story.

"I'm very powerful. I'm proficient in a lot of vampire magic. Ordinary demons definitely can't beat me."

She severely lacked practical combat experience and had hardly ever actually fought any opponents, but she could clearly sense it.

Of the six people in front of her, three were very weak, two were alright, and the elf was a bit stronger than the undead, but not by much, and none of them should be her match.

Only the knight with the sword was likely much stronger than her.

Therefore, she was still somewhat confident in front of Jia Xiu and his group. If she joined the team, her strength would be second to none.

"If I don't deal with the demons, I might have no choice but to continue sleeping."

Elizabeth added pitifully.

However, Jia Xiu's focus was not on her "playing the victim," but on her statement that she was "proficient in a great deal of vampire magic."

Indeed, she is a primordial vampire after all, and the systematization of vampire magic would require her.

And their strength is truly formidable.

Putting aside the vampire's inherent vitality, the illusion magic he used to bluff Justina was far more impressive than that of ordinary illusion magicians, far surpassing that of Bubu.

She was a "big shot," the kind of "big shot" who had no one to rely on, no relatives or friends, and who could only communicate with Jashu before the Spellcasters' Association released the Anka language pack.

After all, the other original vampires have all disappeared and may not even be in this plane. During this period, he is the only one who can understand what Elizabeth is writing.

If you don't hug it, you're missing out.

I also want to give you a big hug.

Unlike the Radiant Knights, she doesn't have the background of the Holy Light pantheon, nor is she subject to the restrictions that prevent her from signing magical contracts casually.

Elizabeth looked at Jashy in front of her, and a "kind" smile gradually appeared on her face.

A sense of crisis arose spontaneously.

It's not the kind of crisis feeling that your safety is threatened.

Instead, it's a feeling that you might be scammed, but you don't know how you'll be scammed, and you have a high probability of having to accept being scammed.

Mia and Ram were also very familiar with Jashu in this state.

This Elizabeth might be getting on a "pirate ship".

“You need to know,” Jia Xiu wrote quickly on the paper, “that dealing with the demons doesn’t necessarily mean directly confronting them. We can also make indirect contributions to the great cause of defeating the demons.”

Elizabeth didn't understand, but she nodded.

"Therefore, we must leverage our strengths, utilize our research and development expertise, promote the advancement of magical abilities, and contribute to this long-term endeavor."

Elizabeth was a little confused as to why this Jasmine suddenly started writing in such a coherent and systematic way.

"As for me, Jaxiu, I study at the best spellcasting academy, Saint Delos, and conduct research at the Tower of Aurelius, the mage tower of a powerful legendary mage. To enter his mage tower, you need to sign a contract first. This is the most direct way I can think of for you to participate in the fight against the demons."

After writing it down, Jia Xiu pulled out a contract.

The second auxiliary sect leader contract from the sect leader.

He had figured out what this auxiliary sect leader contract was all about. It sounded nice, giving him the title of sect leader, but in reality, he had no power whatsoever.

Once a contract is signed, you cannot negotiate terms with the other party, nor can you ask them to complete certain tasks or fulfill certain needs before providing your power.

Once you sign, you'll be able to use Jia Xiu's power.

It will also expose all information, including things that are imperceptible due to the difference in levels.

Just open the box!
What kind of sect leader is he? He's just a "tool" provided by his special characteristics.

That's how elemental affinity was borrowed from Bubu.

Bubu felt a special connection to the contract.

"This vampire wants to be a knight too!"

It exclaimed in surprise.

Does this mean the boss is going to get another bodyguard?

“Um, Bubu, I don’t think it’s a contract with a knight at all.”

Gillianice said.

Even from that distance, she couldn't clearly see what kind of contract Jia Xiu had pulled out.

All that can be confirmed is that it is a magical contract.

In terms of its form, it looks somewhat like the kind of magical contract signed between a sorcerer and a sect leader, but I'm not entirely sure.

If so, then the problem is even bigger.

Doesn't Jia Xiu already have a sect leader?
Besides, what kind of sorcerer would hand a contract to the sect leader and ask the sect leader to sign it?

I've never seen it before.

Does this mean that in this contractual relationship, Jia Xiu is Party A, and the Sect Master is Party B?

This shocked her to the point that it was second only to seeing the devil's corpse.

Meanwhile, the contract that Jia Xiu took out did indeed appear to be a contract for entering the mage tower.

Of course, this is a variant contract provided by the sect leader through friendship.

While talking about Elizabeth, Jasmine asked the patriarch about the contract, and also inquired whether the form could be changed.

The answer is yes.

They even reply instantly.

Generally, contracts that appear to be different from what they actually are are legitimate methods used by the demon race.

But the sect leader was incredibly skilled at it.

Jia Xiu and the sect leader colluded—no, they worked together seamlessly—and quickly finalized a "Recruitment Contract for the Tower of Mage Aurelius".

It looks quite professional, even including a trial period.

Elizabeth went to the Mage Tower as an advisor, providing assistance including magical knowledge, and in return, the Mage Tower provided her with some blood.

300 ml per month.

Well, even 300 ml a month wouldn't be enough to hire the lowest-level vampire prostitutes in the black market bathhouses.

So giving full pay during the probationary period, plus a 20% discount on 300ml, is really outrageous.

Elizabeth was unaware of the market and had never seen a sorcerer's contract; she assumed it was just an enchanted contract.

In her view, Jia Xiu's willingness to give her this opportunity was already a great help.

Elizabeth readily signed her name.
