I was a lord farming, how did I become an emperor?

Chapter 165 Bloodline Wizard

……

……

"My lord, wait a moment,"

Sherry hurriedly caught up with Rod, her face full of worry.

"Please allow me to return to my clan."

She didn't want to bother Rhodes, but she was still too worried about things in the clan.

Hearing the call, Rod turned around, frowned, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Sheryl took a breath, her long ears twitching nervously: "Something unexpected just happened in the tribe, and I want to go back and deal with it."

Rod looked at Sherry, waiting for her to continue.

“My family just told me that during a fight between the two children, one of them seriously injured the other.”

"Children were playing around, and one got seriously injured?"

Rhodes frowned and asked in confusion, "Aren't you Snow Rabbits always peace-loving? How could a fight within your tribe result in serious injuries?"

He recalled the first time he met Sherry and his people; they had fled here because they were afraid of the Bloodscale Tribe and wanted to escape the war.

How can two children fight to the point of serious injury?

This was something that Rod couldn't understand for a moment.

"My lord, there's some misunderstanding here!"

Sherry quickly explained, "The two of them were just playing together, but maybe they got a little carried away while playing, and Frannie suddenly got a little agitated, and then..."

Sheryl hesitated for a moment, then continued, "The tribespeople said that Frani summoned a ground spike that pierced through the shoulder of another child, Riva."

"Ok?"

Rhodes' eyes lit up in surprise, "Summon earth spikes? What earth spikes?"

"It's like a spike suddenly popping out of the ground."

As she spoke, Xue Rui gestured with her hands.

"Isn't that just magic?"

Rhodes stared at Sherry and pressed, "Were other members of your tribe able to summon earth spikes before? Or do other snow rabbit people from other tribes know magic?"

“We do have a knack for binding clay together, you know.”

Sheryl shook her head and said with a wry smile, "But none of us know any magic. If the Snow Rabbit people had such powerful abilities, they wouldn't be being chased around by the Bloodscale Tribe..."

“Our race does have stories of powerful spellcasters, but those are just like the ancient legends of the human empire…”

Rod nodded slightly; Sherry's words made sense.

If that's the case, Rhodes can't help but think of his own "Farmer Lord" entry.

If it suddenly awakens at this point in time, then it can only be due to the mutation ability of the entry.

So, does that mean the Snow Rabbit People are considered farmed creatures?

That makes sense, though; the Snow Rabbit People are definitely not human.

If it's an acquired mutation, then it should be considered a positive mutation in the Warcraft category.

Similar to atavism.

Awakening towards the powerful talent of spellcasters that Sherry spoke of—that is, the warlock.

Warlocks primarily rely on bloodline and innate talent to cast spells; they are more common in legends among alien races but very rare among humans.

Wizards call them bloodline wizards.

Aside from meditation, it relies more on bloodline awakening and purification.

The effects of the breeding entry may unexpectedly awaken some Snow Rabbit people with inherited bloodlines.

It seems that anyone who isn't a purebred human can be covered by the entry for "breeding lord".

Rhodes' lips curled up slightly, but he quickly regained his serious expression.

We'll have to look into the specifics.

"How is the other child's injury?"

Sherry nervously rubbed her hands together: "The situation is alright. Your subordinate Jess treated Riva with a soldier's medical kit."

The Dir tribe now lives in the Black Rock Mountains, where they dig mines.

"The tribe just doesn't know what to do with Frani. After all, she's just a child, and she didn't do it on purpose..."

dispose of?

Rod can't let them do what they want.

"How about this,"

Rhodes instructed, "Take Luna with you; I'll go back with you to take a look."

Sherry was stunned for a moment, her face full of surprise.

"My lord, are you going too?"

"It's just a small matter, you don't need to go in person..."

Rhodes raised his hand to interrupt Sherry: "You are now the subjects of Black Pine Ridge, and you are all under my jurisdiction. Any bloodshed that occurs within the territory should be handled by me."

Rhodes said righteously.

Actually, Rhodes only wanted to see Franny, who summoned the earth spikes.

Otherwise, Rod would certainly not care about minor accidents that don't even result in loss of life.

At this point, Sherry also realized that this was no longer a simple tribal era.

The Dir tribe now eats Rhodes's food and lives on Rhodes's land, so naturally they must obey Rhodes's orders.

Moreover, judging from Rod's words, he intended to personally lead a group to treat the children in the tribe.

Xue Rui nodded respectfully: "Thank you for your concern. I'll trouble you then."

"Okay, then go back and prepare."

Rhodes instructed, "We'll meet at the town gate in a bit."

"Yes, my lord."

Sheryl bowed in response and then quickly withdrew.

Rhodes sent a guard to inform Luna and instructed Lawrence to prepare the horses.

Of course, Rhodes couldn't walk there.

But when Sherry saw the horse, her face was full of embarrassment.

Sherry had never ridden a horse in her life.

Seeing Sherry's predicament, Rod immediately invited Sherry to ride with him.

This was Xue Rui's first time, and she gripped the reins tightly, not daring to relax for a moment.

Rod was anxious and wanted to know what was going on with Franny.

Ignoring that it was Sherry's first time, Rod charged recklessly, galloping straight towards Blackstone Mountain Stronghold.

Sherry was jolted awake, her heart pounding like a frightened rabbit, before finally shrinking into Rod's arms.

They traveled non-stop until they reached Black Stone Village. By then, Xue Rui's legs were weak, and she clung to Luo De's clothes until she dismounted.

In the Snow Rabbit Clan, Xue Rui, as an elder, holds considerable prestige.

Upon hearing that Xue Rui had returned, the Snow Rabbit people all came out to greet her and say hello.

Sherry took the initiative to introduce the man to his people: "This is the Lord of Black Pine Ridge, the esteemed Baron Rhodes, who provides us with food and allows us to live here!"

Sherry's voice trembled slightly, but it was loud enough.

Upon hearing this, the snow hares of the Earth all bowed to Rhodes, expressing their respect in broken Imperial language.

Listening to the Imperial language, Rhodes suddenly thought of Aura.

These snow rabbit people can speak the Imperial language, which is probably thanks to him.

If Sherry knew that Aura had turned into a white wolf, her reaction would be quite interesting.

However, Aura didn't want to bring up the past anymore, and her current identity required secrecy, so Rhodes thought it best not to say anything for now.

Rhodes nodded slightly in response, then got straight to the point: "Where are the injured person and that child, Frannie?"

An older snow rabbit man stepped forward and said, "They're in the tunnels at the back."

"Let's go take a look," Rod ordered.

"Yes, sir."

The old snow rabbit led the way, muttering to himself as he walked: "Franny is a good child, always very docile, and never causes trouble."

I don't know what happened this time, she was terrified after the accident, sigh..."

As they spoke, the group entered the tunnel.

The tunnel entrance is the escape tunnel that Rein dug before, which has now been expanded by the Earthlings.

We can no longer call it a tunnel; we should call it a cave.

There are three forks at the entrance alone, and the forks inside are even more forks.

After hearing Jess's report, Rhodes learned that these snow rabbit people had even dug a tunnel that led directly to the mine.

This way, even if miners work very late at night, they can still go home to rest through the tunnel.

However, the only drawback is that only the main tunnel is two meters high, while the other branching tunnels are only 1.8 meters high.

Rhodes bumped his head even when he stood up straight, so the experience wasn't pleasant.

The Snow Rabbit people's burrows are not all caves; some are also cellar-like rooms.

However, the areas are not large, about twenty square meters.

The torches on both sides of the cave illuminated the dim passage. In front of a relatively spacious cave, Rhodes saw a petite snow rabbit-like person with her head down, her shoulders shaking incessantly, clearly sobbing.

As they approached, the small figure looked up, and upon seeing Xue Rui, burst into tears.
"Sister Xue Rui! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to!"

The little figure threw herself into Xue Rui's arms and cried loudly, "I really didn't mean to! I was just a little anxious... I'm sorry..."

It's obvious that the small figure is Franny.

Where are the injured children?

Rhodes turned to the old snow rabbit who was leading the way, and pointed to Luna, introducing her: "This is my healer. Let her go and check on the injured first."

"Thank you for your kindness,"

After the old snow rabbit bowed, he took the initiative to lead the way.

"this way please."

"My lord, I'll be going now." Luna said, and followed the old snow rabbit into the cave.

Rhodes turned to look at Franny, who was still sobbing, and asked softly, "Tell me, what happened?"

Sherry knelt down, gently stroked Franny's head, and wiped away her tears: "It's alright, Franny. The lord is very kind. Can you tell him what happened?"

Franny sobbed a few times, then forced herself to stop crying and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.

Franny composed herself.
“Riva and I found a stone ball and played with it together. When it was my turn to play, he wouldn’t give it to me, so I tried to take it back, and then he tried to take it back.”

Franny sobbed slightly, her voice trembling as she explained, her voice low and trembling.
"He pinned me to the ground, pressing down on me so hard I couldn't breathe, it made me feel terrible,"

"I tried desperately to push him away but couldn't budge him. In my panic, a thorn suddenly appeared beside me and pierced through his shoulder..."

"I really don't know why this is happening..."

As she spoke, Franny began to cry again.

You can tell that the little rabbit is scared, upset, and guilty.

Do you feel anything unusual about your body?

Rod interrupted Franny's crying and asked, "Do you feel any energy surging within your body?"

Franny shook her head slightly, pouting as she thought.

Then he said, "Does feeling a sense of familiarity with these lands count as..."

"Feels familiar?"

Rhodes's case is basically confirmed.

This snow rabbit-man has basically awakened his bloodline and become a sorcerer.

Rhodes took out the pearl crystal ball. "Come on, Franny, put your hand on it."

Franny didn't know what was going on, but she obediently put her hand on it.

There are nearly twelve light spots, and the mental strength is about 11.9.

Rhodes has seen the strongest one so far.

No wonder he was able to summon ground spikes in a moment of desperation.

Rod looked at Franny, a smile playing on his lips.

We've struck gold!

Don't let Franny's young age fool you, this isn't surprising.

Warlocks, or bloodline wizards, rely on their powerful talents.

Their research and learning abilities are not strong; they rely entirely on awakening, and meditation is more for restoring their state.

Warlocks are known as the fools among spellcasters, relying on bloodlines; once they know a spell, they know it, without any regard for reason.

Some sorcerers have also diligently studied knowledge.

But later they found that it was still not as fast as purifying their own bloodline.

Of course, bloodline purification is not simple either.

It requires the bloodline of some powerful magical beasts of the same lineage.

Even without a common ancestry, a strong bloodline of the same attribute is required.

This process was difficult and painful.

However, Franny can summon earth spikes directly, so even without an upgrade, she is still a force to be reckoned with.

"what!"

As Rhodes pondered, Franny awoke with a start and shrank back into Sherry's arms in fear.

“What did you see?” Rhodes asked.

"Many stone trees...and monsters made of stone..."

Franny answered timidly.

Rhodes nodded slightly, his talent being the same as that of the Snow Rabbit.

"Franny, tell me, what did it feel like when you summoned the earth spikes?"

Rod looked at Franny and asked, "Could you demonstrate it for me again?"

Franny looked up, hesitated for a moment, and shook her head.

"I don't want to hurt anyone..."

"Do not harm anyone."

Rod pointed ahead and said, "Try stabbing that rock in front of you."

Franny was a little timid and turned to look at Sherry.

Sherry nodded slightly, "The lord has asked you to summon, so try again."

Franny snapped out of her reverie and stared intently at the rock in front of her.

I stared at it for a long time, but there was no reaction.

Franny's face turned red.

Rhodes couldn't stand it any longer and spoke up to guide the conversation.

"You can try to feel the land in front of you, talk to it, and try to make it coalesce into spikes."

"Oh."

Franny responded, snapped out of her reverie, and focused intently once again, following Rhodes's guidance.

Bang!
The stone flew up instantly!

Where the stone was originally, a half-meter-long spike appeared, as thick as a child's arm!

"Success!"

Franny's face lit up with joy, and she smiled at Rhodes.

The moment she turned her head, the spikes crumbled and turned back into a pile of dirt.

Rhodes was somewhat surprised and asked, "Were the spikes you used on Riva just this long and thick?"

"No, no, the one before was thinner than this..."

Franny answered immediately, her eyes reddening again.

"It's alright, that's good."

Rhodes breathed a sigh of relief.

If Riva had been hit by something that thick, even if he survived, his arm would be ruined.

As Rod comforted Franny, Luna emerged from the cave.

"My lord, I have finished examining the injured snow rabbit."

"The wound has been disinfected, and I have changed the herbal medicine for him. He has no fever."

Luna said with a hint of doubt in her eyes, "It's just a little strange that he recovered a little too quickly."

"It's clearly a penetrating wound, but the wound on his back has closed up, and there's hardly any blood loss..."

Rhodes smiled.

The additional benefit of the breeding attribute is a 100% increase in constitution.

In addition, with the effect of the stable affinity, it wouldn't be surprising if Rhodes were to heal directly.

"It's alright, the Snow Rabbit people may have a special physique that makes them stronger than humans."

Rod said indifferently.

Sherry was somewhat surprised, her eyes wide as if she wanted to say something, but Rod stopped her with a gesture.

Luna nodded thoughtfully.
"Perhaps that is exactly what you mean."

"correct,"

As she spoke, Luna pulled a round ball of clay from her bosom.

“The injured child has just regained consciousness, and he asked me to give this ball of dirt to Franny.”

"He also said he didn't blame Franny, that he knew Franny didn't do it on purpose, and that he hoped Sherry and you wouldn't punish Franny."

“Riva…”

Franny pouted, her eyes red, and took the clay ball with both hands.
"I shouldn't have taken it from him, I'm sorry..."

"It's in the past."

Rhodes looked at everyone and spoke up, "No one is at fault in this matter, so no one will be punished."

"As for Riva's injury, I will give him some compensation, especially in terms of food."

"As for Franny, she accidentally awakened the bloodline abilities of you Snow Rabbits, which is a good thing."

“She will come with me to Frostleaf Town, and because of her, your Earthear tribe will also receive more resources.”

Rhodes's words came as a surprise, leaving the snow rabbits of the Earth Ear tribe looking at each other in bewilderment.

"Awakening bloodline abilities?"

"what is that?"

"It is the protection of Mother Earth!"

……

The snow rabbit people started talking amongst themselves, and the cave was filled with a cacophony of chatter that made Rhodes' ears ring.

"Quiet first!"

Rhodes immediately waved for everyone to stop and asked loudly, "Does anyone have any objections to this ruling?!"

The snow rabbits looked at each other and shook their heads in unison.

"Where are Riva's father and mother?"

Rhodes asked, "Where are they? What are their demands?"

"Franny and Riva are siblings."

Sheryl said, "Their parents are gone. We were killed by the Bloodscale Tribe while we were fleeing..."

As soon as Xue Rui finished speaking, the snow rabbit man fell silent and lowered his head.

Don't be sad.

Rhodes looked at the listless snow rabbit people.

I don't know whether to say they love peace or are weak.

"That's great, Frani's awakened ability can help you take revenge."
