Chapter 87 Lilia's Madness (3k)

not good!

Many half-elves and wizard apprentices were frightened, but they looked at the rapidly recovering magical beasts without fear. Many of them thought of the roars of Lucian and other third-level wizard apprentices, and they were so scared that they hurriedly took out the magic plants they had hidden in their hands and threw them on the ground like hot potatoes.

But there was despair in some people's eyes, because they used the magic plants as soon as they got them.

After all, for these second-level wizard apprentices who have been exploited by their mentors for many years, they know very well that if these precious magic plants are not used in time, they may eventually be taken away by their mentors. Although using them on the spot may waste some of the medicinal effects and even cause certain harm to the body, they can't do anything about it.

But now, they could feel that this magical beast, whose pressure was much stronger than that of a third-level wizard apprentice, had set its sights on them.

"Run!" Someone shouted, trying to find a way out. But the next moment, a long tongue appeared behind him.

The next moment, he was dragged backwards by a terrifying force, and finally fell into the stomach of the giant frog Kux under the tongue. Soon, screams and wails were heard from Kux's stomach, as well as the wizard apprentice's cry for help.

"Uncle Qi, save me! Save me!" A half-elf screamed in fear, because the giant creature had already looked at him, and as soon as it opened its mouth, its tongue had already stuck to her head.

"Uncle Qi..." The half-elf screamed in fear.

At this time, the goblin leader waved his hand, and a wooden thorn directly attacked Kux's long tongue.

However, her attack on Kux had no effect at all, and failed to even attract Kux's attention. It still slowly dragged the half-elf towards its mouth in horror at its own pace.

"Alas." The half-elf named Qi shook his head and sighed softly, but he waved his hand, and suddenly a wooden thorn pierced into the forehead of the half-elf, directly crushing her sea of ​​​​consciousness, which gave her a quick death before she was eaten alive by Kux.

Silence. The other wizard apprentices and half-elves were all listening quietly to the horrific struggling sounds and painful groans coming from inside Kux's stomach.

Many people had fear and worry on their faces. After all, they had just collected the magic plants in the garden. Although they had thrown them away, no one could tell whether this Kux would come to trouble them again after judging those guys who still hid the magic plants.

At this time, Lilia was holding Adeline, her eyes extremely alert.

However, Lucian narrowed his eyes. He looked at the giant frog Kux who was still "calling the roll" and thought of the sacrifice that needed to be offered to the Moon Wolf Tuso.

Fortunately, the execution of the giant frog Kux stopped after it dealt with the three apprentices who hid the magic plants. Then it lay down on the spot to rest, as if it was digesting the "stored food" in its stomach.

But as long as you get a little closer to Kux, you can hear the apprentice inside Kux's stomach struggling and crying for help, and even a low wailing and a sound similar to splashing liquid.

Many apprentices felt sad and lowered their heads slightly.

pat-

Suddenly, two badges similar to the Purple Leaf Talisman came out of Kux's mouth. The badges were round, and the patterns inside were the faces of the two apprentices who were swallowed without being killed.

“Sacrifice!” Lucian’s pupils shrank, but he was the first to take action, rushing towards the two badges.

The other wizard apprentices also reacted. Perhaps they didn't know what this coin-like item was used for, but sometimes, it was better to keep it in your hand without using it than to have it without knowing its use!

A shadowy aura lingered around Lucian, and with the help of the witchcraft [Shadow Stealth], he quickly merged into the shadows underground. However, with his reaction speed that was much faster than others, he took one of the prototype badges into his own hands.

Faced with Lucian who had already slipped into the shadows, the others hesitated for a moment, and could only try to grab the other badge that was still outside. In the end, with the cooperation of the goblin leader, it was taken by the half-elf named Qi.

"You just killed a companion and wasted a badge." Lilia was most afraid of Kux because she had just collected magic plants and was also the farthest away from him, so her luck was a little bad at this time and she missed the badge.

However, she saw the secret of the production of this badge, and therefore blamed Qi who had just killed the half-elf, hoping to force him to give up the badge.

"The badges we get are ours." The goblin leader stopped Lilia with a cold look in his eyes. "No one knew there was such a thing as a badge. My people didn't do anything wrong. What's more, now both of us have one badge each. It's fair."

Lilia looked at the half-elf who was now bursting with momentum, glanced at Lucian who had already freed himself from the shadow, and then she looked at the other weak wizard apprentices with a slight flicker in her eyes.

"Hmph." She snorted and turned away. "Mina, when we leave later, remember to take the ice snowflakes. That Kux should only move inside the garden. If you are faster, I will also give you a magic tool for acceleration. There is still a chance." After Lilia returned to her seat, she looked at her student.

"Teacher... I..." Mina's face was pale. She could still hear the wailing sound from Kux's stomach. Lilia's action was undoubtedly an experiment on her life.

"That's not necessary, Lilia." Bennett looked at the two second-level wizard apprentices who all had sad faces, then looked at Lilia and shook his head slightly. "I guess there will be other ways to get the badge later. What's more, if we leave with the ice snowflakes, what if the Kux doesn't chase us but kills us all?"

Lilia ignored Bennett and looked at Lucian, obviously trying to force Lucian to give up the special badge in his hand.

Lucian's right hand holding the "sacrifice" exerted a little force. He knew the value of the badge in his hand, but now was not the time to break up with Lilia, after all, there were still those half-elves watching covetously.

What's more, when there was still a choice, Lucian didn't want Lillia to act as she said.

If this giant Kux frog can leave the garden and continue to chase them, the secret realm will become extremely dangerous.

"Lillia, I remember you have a copy of Song of the Deep Sea." After a brief silence, Lucian looked at Lilia and put forward his own conditions.

Song of the Deep Sea is a special natural wine. It can be taken directly to improve mental strength, or it can be used as a raw material to be combined with other materials to make a potion that can assist third-level wizard apprentices to become formal wizards. It is more valuable than [Ode to Moonlight] and is an extremely precious material.

However, inside the secret realm, the value of this temporarily unused material is naturally not as great as the sacrificial badge in Lucian's hand. After all, these special badges may be the "credentials" for entering the core of the secret realm.

Bennett opened his mouth, obviously wanting to do something, but after looking at Lilia, who was clearly not in a good mood, he didn't say anything.

Lilia stared at Lucian, her eyes full of violence. "Okay, then you have to keep it safe for me."

As she spoke, she took out a wine bottle and quickly exchanged it with Lucian.

"Lord Lucian, I am Gagarin..." At this time, a mental force carefully connected with Lucian through witchcraft. Gagarin's attitude in this secret communication can be said to be unusually humble. Although he did not say any core content, Lucian knew that he was here to seek asylum.

After all, the Mina incident just now made the students under her command feel a strong sense of crisis, and they all began to look for new backers for themselves.

Lucian did not promise anything, just agreed to take care of her within his ability and ended the communication.

However, he also gained some useful information, which was Lilia's doll Adeline. Gagarin had never seen Lilia use it before.

This was either the treasure that Lilia had been keeping in her chest, or a deliberate "gift" or "transaction" from an official wizard for this operation.

"Unfortunate Lillia." Lucian glanced at Lillia who was studying the badge and shook his head slightly. At this moment, he was too lazy to think too much with a girl whose cognition had been distorted.

Perhaps it was just like what Lilia herself said - she was only keeping the sacrificial badge for Lucian temporarily.

Because they were afraid of the giant frog Kux who was taking a "nap" at the time, the apprentices were very gentle and polite when looking for the exit.

In fact, the exit was not difficult to find, after all, the garden originally had a small wooden door with exquisite decorations. And there were only two options for the apprentices at the moment - open the door, or try to climb the wall.

After a brief discussion, a half-elf came to the wooden door nervously, pushed the door open carefully with his hands, and then slowly and carefully took two steps forward.

Everything seemed normal, but when the half-elf wanted to go back, there seemed to be an invisible diaphragm blocking him. Even his voice could not be heard clearly. One could only guess what he said through his constantly opening and closing lips and gestures.

This made many apprentices hesitate and want to observe for a while. Lucian took Carly with him and walked quickly out of the garden.

The moment he walked out of the garden, Lucian’s eyes were replaced by a sea of ​​white, forcing him to close his eyes slightly. After a slight adjustment, Lucian opened his eyes again and observed the new environment inside the ruins of the Cloud Kingdom.

"Wow...so many mushrooms!" Carly exclaimed.

And this is the most realistic portrayal of the environment before their eyes. Looking around, there are huge silver-white mushroom colonies nearly two meters in height. Their silver mycelium, like white gauze skirts, covers the ground. From a distance, it even feels like being covered in silver.
