Chapter 190 The Correct Way to Use Source Blood

From behind the crack in the door, Fritty stared wide-eyed at the Spider Woman Shadra, who, despite being the proud and aloof senior, was now looking at a human wizard apprentice with tender affection, addressing him as her master, as if she were in love.

The human wizard apprentice looked very young, seemingly just a teenager, and he was wiping a longsword in his hand that clearly had an elven style.

Is this...is this still the same Shadra who sees men as servants? Has she been bewitched? Shouldn't it be the Spider Woman bewitching men? The scene before her was too shocking for Fritty, and she was stunned for a moment.

A perfect opportunity! Richard had noticed the other party long ago. Although he was wiping his longsword and chatting casually with Stephanie, his mind was already focused on the aura at the door.

The moment the opponent reveals a weakness!

"Mental shock!"

"Shadow Dance Steps!"

"High-frequency oscillation!"

With a calculated move, Richard unleashed two spells and a sword technique in quick succession!

In an instant, the wooden door of the room shattered into pieces. To Fritty's horrified gaze, Richard's Ice Guardian was already within reach, but after being hit by Richard's mental attack, her brain was in excruciating pain, and she couldn't even cast a single spell.

In that split second, she couldn't even summon her tarantula mount!

In the blink of an eye, Richard's Frostguard longsword had already lightly grazed her neck. Flitty's face turned ashen, and she felt her life rapidly slipping away.

She desperately wanted to warn Grace; she still had so much to do.

But it was too late!

Flitty collapsed to the ground like a snake whose spine had been removed.

Richard lifted the other person's hood and saw that, sure enough, it was one of the three Spider Women. When he sensed her presence at the door, it seemed somewhat familiar.

Richard quickly dragged the body into the room and immediately messaged Stephanie: "Enemy attack!"

"Not good!" Grace immediately sensed something was wrong, because a powerful aura suddenly erupted on the second floor of the Delicious Spore Inn.

This aura was powerful and unfamiliar; it was clearly not Fritty's.

"Friday!!"

"action!"

Behind Grace, the Spider Knights, led by the high-ranking Spider Woman Irene, rushed toward the inn like streaks of black lightning.

Grace began chanting a spell rapidly, and thick black fog began to appear around the entire inn, completely enveloping it in just a few seconds.

If a master skilled in shadow magic were present, they would recognize this as the first-level spell, Dark Veil. Night elves with darkvision would hold absolute dominance in this environment.

"Who goes there!" A loud shout of shock and anger came from the second floor. Richard knew from the voice that it was that old man with the bulbous nose, Dessall.

Clearly, the previous fight had alerted Dissol. When he came out, he happened to run into Irene and a group of Spider Knights who had rushed up to the second floor, and they immediately clashed.

"Boom!" The corridor wall shattered with a loud crash.

"Ptooey, ptooey!" Dissol, spitting out a mouthful of mud, leaped into the air with his messy hair, cursing loudly.

"Who on earth dared to ambush the gray dwarf brothers?!"

In the midst of the chaos, he was besieged by several Spider Knights and Irene, and it was clear that Dissol suffered a hidden loss.

"Huh, it's actually the gray dwarf wizard Dissol from the wanted list, a senior first-level wizard from the gray dwarf intelligence agency. What's this guy doing here!" Grace's eyes lit up, and she immediately recognized the gray dwarf wizard in front of her.

It seems that Dissol is not an unknown figure. The fact that he is on the Night Elf's wanted list means that he has caused a lot of trouble for the Night Elves.

"Perfect timing, we can catch them all in one fell swoop!"

"(Night Elf language) Irene, leave this to me, you go find Shadra!" Grace shouted.

The next second, without any hesitation, Ge Lei quickly pulled out an old-fashioned scroll from her bosom and tore it open with force!

Instantly, a surge of dark elemental energy erupted, transforming into a gigantic spider phantom at least ten meters in diameter, its markings and fur seemingly clearly visible.

"Wrath of the Spider!!" Upon seeing the enormous spider phantom, Dissol immediately understood which sorcery the other party was using, and gasped in shock!

The Wrath of the Spider is a top-tier spell even among first-level sorcery, and it's the kind of sorcery that causes widespread damage.

Keep in mind that this is right in the center of Grey Fern Town! If this witchcraft attack is allowed to continue, it will cause a large number of Grey Dwarf civilian casualties.

Clearly, after the opponent used this highly representative sorcery, Dithor immediately guessed that the opponent must be from the Night Elf side.

Moreover, the opponent's aura and graceful figure during their initial encounter made him realize that his opponent was undoubtedly the Spider Woman.

"Spiderwomen! They're a bunch of lunatics!" Desol gritted his teeth and hurriedly cast a spell, intending to withstand the attack.

Normally, it wouldn't have been a problem if he were alone; he could have easily dodged it. But now, there were those twin maids behind him, the very best ones he had managed to find with great difficulty.

Dark elemental energy surged in Desol's right hand, while fire elemental energy surged in his left. He was actually performing a rare hybrid sorcery, which was quite difficult and was Desol's most powerful trump card.

"Darkfire Shockwave!!" Dissol shouted.

The mixture of dark and fire elements, resembling a DNA double helix, blasted directly at the massive spider phantom that was gathering power.

The next second, the two powerful spells collided head-on, and a violent explosion occurred instantly.

"boom!!!"

The powerful airflow was like a super hurricane passing by!

In comparison, Dissol was still outmatched. Although the Darkfire Shockwave offset most of the destructive power of the Spider's Fury, he was still at a disadvantage. Most of the violent shockwave from the explosion was directed at his side, smashing the entire two-story inn to pieces.

The hotel guests were now in deep trouble. One of the gray dwarf noblewomen, who was taking a bath, was relatively lucky and was not harmed. However, she was staring in horror at the ceiling that had suddenly disappeared.

Some passengers were crushed into mincemeat by the collapsed wall!

Others were also seriously injured by the bricks and stones.

Even the houses that were originally lined up in rows within a radius of dozens of meters around the inn were now largely damaged. Fortunately, the houses of the gray dwarves were designed for simplicity and practicality, and were made of simple yet sturdy materials, so the casualties were not significant.

Dissol's face was grave, his wizard robes reduced to strips of cloth. Seeing how difficult it was for him to even defend himself, it seemed the twins he had finally found were probably gone.

Slowly turning his head to glance at the inn, Dissol's face lit up with joy. "Huh! They're still alive!"

Richard had already cast a dark elemental shield on each of the two trembling gray dwarf twin girls, protecting them behind him, which immediately delighted Dissol.

Richard would certainly do something that would easily win him the favor of a formal wizard.

Moreover, the other party suffered an undeserved misfortune this time.

Clearly, the group of night elves outside the inn had originally intended to cause him trouble, but unexpectedly, it was this lecherous old man, Dissol, who withstood a fierce attack from them.

Moreover, judging from his appearance, D'Arthor's identity and strength are not simple either. He seems quite certain that the Night Elves are after him this time.

What a coincidence!

Richard was secretly pleased, but he didn't say anything. After all, the gray dwarves and night elves were natural enemies, so he wasn't really trying to trick anyone.

"Damn it! Are you night elves trying to start another war?" D'Arthor roared.

Although I don't know where I went wrong that allowed the other party to track me here!

But the fact that the other side killed civilians without any regard for their safety enraged him.

Unexpectedly, Grace completely ignored Dessol and launched an even fiercer attack!

-

Gray Fern Town Gray Dwarf Garrison.

"Huh! Such strong energy fluctuations! These are formal wizards fighting. Who has the nerve to do this? Don't they know fighting is forbidden in Grayfern Town?!"

A gray dwarf with a thick beard, clad in plate armor, stormed out of the room and gazed at the location in the center of Grayfern Town where intense elemental fluctuations were occurring.

As it turned out, they happened to witness Grace tearing the scroll, and a huge phantom spider appeared above the Spore Inn.

The next second, the bearded gray dwarf seemed to realize something, his expression immediately changed drastically, and he blurted out, "Night Elf!!"

"Guards! Are you all dead! Gather everyone immediately, right now!!" the bearded commander roared in exasperation.

Clearly, he had seen such an obvious spider phantom several times before, which definitely represented the night elves, or more accurately, a high-ranking spider woman fighting with humans.

The massive energy fluctuations meant that regardless of who won or lost, there would be a large number of civilian casualties in the town center, and he, as the garrison commander of Gray Fern Town, had to suppress or eliminate the enemy as soon as possible.

Otherwise, his time as commander would be over!

"Yes, Commander Hansel!" Several fully armed gray dwarf soldiers immediately ran in all directions.

Several sharp whistles rang out, followed by a continuous series of hurried footsteps.

Before long, dozens of gray dwarf soldiers, wearing chainmail and wielding single-handed hammers and steel shields, assembled and lined up neatly in two rows.

"Let's go!!" The commander named Hansel was now riding on a huge argali sheep, wielding an incredibly heavy warhammer, and shouting loudly.

But the gray dwarf soldiers were ambushed shortly after leaving the camp.

Suddenly, a volley of crossbow bolts shot out from both sides, along with several alchemical bombs, instantly throwing the once orderly gray dwarf formation into chaos.

"Raise your shields! Counterattack!" Hansel shouted.

At the same time, he squeezed his legs together and rode the argali towards the shadows to the side, where he quickly found a man in black robes.

The two immediately engaged in a fierce fight.

The heavy hammer in Hansel's hand was clearly a magical artifact, unleashing a thunderous strike from time to time, leaving the black-robed man in a rather sorry state. If it weren't for the black-robed man's extremely fast movement speed and his mastery of the magic of shadow teleportation, he would probably have been dealt with by Hansel long ago.

Although Hansel had the upper hand, he was also tied down and unable to rush to the Delicious Spore Inn to provide support in time.

At this moment, if you look down from the sky above Grayfern Town, you can see that the battle in Grayfern Town is now taking place in two separate points.

-

Because the sudden appearance of Dessol attracted the attention of the Spider Women, it could be said that most of the pressure was drawn to him. Therefore, Richard quickly came up with a plan after a moment's thought.

Since someone is taking the lead, there's no need for me to go all out.

His own vengeful spirit's hatred, like the Spider Woman's Demonic Wrath just now, was all too representative.

If one chooses to summon the vengeful spirits, one's true nature will be immediately revealed to Dissol, who will then realize that the spider women are after him, not him, making him a convenient shield.

After all, the fact that the necromancers among the surface humans were fighting fiercely with the five matriarchal families of the night elves was also widely known among the grey dwarves.

At this moment, more than ten spider knights are wreaking havoc inside the inn.

There were no experts among the inn's guests, only a few gray dwarves at the wizard apprentice level, plus many gray dwarves patrolling and guarding the area, but they were all easily killed by the spider knights.

Screams rose and fell, but Richard and his two servants remained firmly in their own territory, not joining the battle except to protect the twin gray dwarf girls.

"Quickly, hurry up and finish this battle within ten minutes. Leave that traitor Shadra to me. You guys deal with the human wizard apprentice and the merman," Irene said urgently, quickly assigning tasks.

Seeing the dozen or so Spider Knights surrounding him, Richard did not choose to summon the vengeful spirits, but instead quickly took out a pair of alchemical bombs and threw them around.

This is a combination bomb that Richard instructed Fingart to make in a specific ratio using three types of alchemical bombs. Ten sets were packed in total for emergencies, but they hadn't been used along the way. Unexpectedly, they came in handy now.

The explosive power of ten tubes of Fire Dance Star, ten portions of viscous oil, and ten packets of Silver Moon Dust combined is equivalent to that of the first-level fire-based sorcery spell, Blazing Incineration.

"Boom! Boom!"

Richard hurled a series of alchemical combination bombs, instantly blasting the Spider Knights into a frenzy, causing heavy casualties.

Seeing Richard use the Alchemy Combination Reload during the battle caught Dessol's eye.

Such a thing actually exists! The wizard named "Li Wei" pulled out something that was clearly some kind of alchemical product. I never expected it to be so powerful, almost like the power of a first-level fire spell.

Moreover, judging from the fact that the other party doesn't seem to care at all, they must either be extremely wealthy or capable of making such alchemical products themselves.

Because Dissol was proficient in both dark and fire magic, he knew all too well how difficult it was to achieve this through alchemy alone.

Because Richard, his master, and his servant worked together so well, Irene alone couldn't possibly take them down.

Meanwhile, Grace's battle was also going very poorly. Desor was quite old, and having served in the Grey Dwarfs' Third Military Intelligence Unit for a long time, he had fought countless night elves and was extremely experienced in combat.

After several clashes of their trump cards, Grace was completely helpless against her opponent, and the situation was even slowly deteriorating.

This left Grace feeling utterly helpless!

"Irene! Retreat!"

"What should we do about Fritie!" Irene was also extremely unwilling. She had finally found Shadra, but the whole battle turned out like this, completely different from what she had planned!

"(Night Elf language) Retreat immediately! Reinforcements from the Grayfern garrison are on their way!" Grace shouted.

The battle at the inn ended rather anticlimactically, with the remaining two spider women retreating quickly despite their reluctance.

At this moment, Hansel's gray dwarf garrison hurried and finally arrived at the Delicious Spore Inn.

"Hansel, you're here really early!"

Looking at the old man with a red nose and tattered clothes, whose hair was messy like a bird's nest, Hansel was stunned for several seconds before he could connect the man with the senior wizard Dissol from his memory.

"Lord Dissol, you...you..."

However, Hansel seemed to immediately realize that if it weren't for Lord Dissol in front of him, the losses in Grey Fern Town would have been even more severe.

"Lord Dissol, we have just been ambushed."

Dissol looked Hansel up and down, and seeing the marks on his body, his attitude softened considerably. He said, "It seems they had a well-thought-out plan. Arrange a place for me. By the way, I have a few friends with me."

"Yes, Your Excellency Dissol."

Before long, Hansel found another inn for Dessall and Richard to rest. However, when Dessall saw Fingart carrying Fletty's body, his eyes lit up and he was instantly rooted to the spot.

Stephania felt a chill run down her spine when she saw the greedy, lecherous look on the old man's face! She cursed inwardly, "What a pervert! He's dead and still thinking about this!"

Richard was also displeased and said, "Lord Dessol, shouldn't we show the deceased the respect they deserve?"

Dessol, his gaze fixed on Flitwick's corpse, nodded and replied, "Of course!"

"By the way, Lord Li Wei, may I sell this corpse?"

As soon as Desor finished speaking, Richard's face darkened. He thought to himself, "This old man is really a pervert. He doesn't even spare the dead."

However, seemingly noticing that the atmosphere around him was a bit off, Dessall looked at Richard and the others. He saw that Richard, his servant, and the other two were looking at him like he was a pervert, and their contempt was extremely obvious.

This immediately made Dissol realize what was happening, and he laughed awkwardly, "You've misunderstood! I did this for my two maids."

"A maid? What does this have to do with twin maids?!" Richard and his two companions were filled with questions!

However, judging from their tone, it's highly likely that it's not what they think.

Seeing that Richard and the other two still looked puzzled, it was now Dessol's turn to be confused. He immediately said:

"Hey! Didn't you know? The essence of the Spider Woman's bloodline has many uses after it's extracted."

"The essence of the Spider Woman's bloodline, namely the source blood, will gradually change a person's bloodline through bloodline implantation, thereby gaining a rapid increase in strength and a change in appearance."

"For example, these two maids beside me, once they receive the Spider Woman bloodline implantation, their appearance and figure will change to resemble the Spider Woman's, becoming more graceful and charming."

"At that time, it will become a boon for men." Dessall gave Richard a knowing look.

After hearing Dessol's explanation, Richard and the other two felt relieved.

Stephanie was speechless at the lecherous old man, but Richard keenly grasped a few key words he mentioned: "source blood" and "bloodline implantation"!

The black box in his hand seemed to contain a drop of dragon's primordial blood. Could it be...

"Not everyone is as lucky as you to have a female night elf follow you. By the way, Lord Levi, do you have some secret technique to control female night elves? I'm willing to pay a hefty sum for it," Dissol said softly, glancing enviously at Stephana.

Richard did not answer Dissol's question. Instead, he asked, "Lord Dissol, didn't you just say that Source Blood has many uses? What about its other uses?"

"Oh, right!" Dissol exclaimed, slapping his forehead.

Seemingly to thank Richard for saving the twin maids, Dessall spoke with particular care.

"We formal wizards generally don't implant spider woman bloodlines that are roughly equivalent to our strength. However, some formal wizards might consider it if it were the bloodline of the matriarch."

"However, for us formal wizards, we generally use the method of burning blood essence to stimulate and promote the rapid improvement of our mental power."

Dissol pulled out a fiery red crystal, about the thickness of a thumb, from his pocket and said, "Flame Crystal. Through it, we can harmonize and burn the essence of our bloodline to promote the rapid growth of our spiritual power."

"Flame Crystal?"

"Eh, hasn't Lord Levi heard of him?" Dessall glanced at Richard, then slyly stopped talking.

Richard instantly understood what the other party meant.

"Well... I'm not really sure, but based on the principle of equivalent exchange, I can..." Richard whispered to Dessol.

Dissol raised an eyebrow, and the next second, he beamed and said, "Lord Levi, deal."

After the two exchanged the recording crystals, Richard and Dessol were both quite satisfied with the transaction, and even their gazes toward each other became much more agreeable.

"Lord Li Wei, you truly are a master of alchemy. By the way, are you planning to settle in Greyfern Town for some time?"

Richard shook his head and said, "I plan to travel around. My next stop should be Tug City."

Desor took a liking to the wizard Levi who had saved the twin maids, and the wizard seemed to be an alchemist who was merely passing through Greyfern Town on his travels, if that were the case.

"Lord Li Wei, are you also going to Tug City? Me too, why don't you come with us?" Dissol patted his muscular chest and said.

"I am very familiar with Tug City, Your Excellency Li Wei. I think you will definitely like this city."

The twin maids chimed in, "Yes, Lord Levi, Tug City is very prosperous. You can stay at Lord Dissol's residence for a while so we can express our gratitude."

Richard thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Lord Dissol, then I shall accept the invitation!"
