Twenty Sided Dice

readx(); "Mr. Edith, when you left for the Mages Association, Lord Siegel came to the library many times to check information about blood magic." Dunbar, who was always nervous, wore a brown-gray Robe, with a brass headband over pale red hair. Perhaps because of nervousness, perhaps because of caution, his body was protected by a circle of flame shields, which never lifted.

Edith said: "Blood magic is a very important but very unpopular field in the Mages Association. Almost all mages have learned how to use the power of blood in order to save themselves in an emergency. But blood magic There is also a branch that studies how to use blood to affect fate and intervene in the field of divine power and the will of the world. There is no difference between good and evil, but this branch has cultivated a large group of careerists and conspirators. , do nothing."

Siegel nodded. According to the records of the Mages Association, this is indeed the case. "I understand your concerns, but I don't want to modify my destiny, but to reverse the strengthened bloodline power."

Edith reached out and touched the short beard at the corner of his mouth and thought about it carefully. In front of Siegel, there is only a skeleton body left. Blood magic is useless to him, so it must be for others. In the entire territory, there is only one person who is most likely to have problems.

"What's wrong with your wife Janet?" Edith guessed the answer. "She appeared atavistic? The power of the demon blood on her body has increased?"

Siegel nodded and told the half-elf mage about the future.

"Returning to the ancestors is a very tricky thing, and there is almost no solution." Edith said: "You also know that the power of blood and a person's life are linked, and the two are difficult to separate. When you touch it When one happens, the other will also be affected. Sooner or later, the part originating from the devil will gradually gain the upper hand and devour the other half belonging to mortals. If it happens to an ordinary person, there is still the possibility of healing. But For daemons, atavism is a part of birth, and any treatment will increase the rate of transformation."

"Isn't the Mage Association powerless?"

Edith shook his head. He said to Siegel: "The Mage Association is not omnipotent. Even if it can find a way, it may not be able to catch up with the permanent changes. As far as I know, the association has not updated the research materials on blood magic for a long time. I'm afraid it's not as proficient as the blood magician you said. And many mages believe that atavism is to enhance an individual's power, a kind of reinforcement, why stop it? There are thousands of directions in magic research, and mages who can invest in it But it's too little."

"I took back the Scroll of Moonlight Moya. I read it many times, but I don't know how to repeat the blood magician's experiment. I also once went back to the ruins where the bloodline conversion magic circle was, trying to find clues. But It was cleaned up and nothing was left." Siegel said: "I think the man should have accomplices, the bloodline thing is not over, there may be further conspiracy. Can't this be Does it attract the attention of the Mage Association?"

"I can't say whether it's important or not on behalf of the Mage Association, but there is one thing you should understand." Edith said loudly: "The power of bloodline is powerful, and this research direction has infinite potential, but do you know how much is more important than bloodline research? , or is there a guy more dangerous than the blood magician? Not all mages are under the jurisdiction of the association. The association of mages is not in the forefront of the world in every field. As far as I know, the association has found A lunatic who creates absolute void, intending to pull the whole world into irreparable destruction; there is a master who specializes in ice, who has developed a method of shielding the three elements of air, fire and earth, and pursues lower temperatures infinitely, causing a city to be frozen as a whole. , it will be possible to melt after a hundred years. So far, the movements of these mages are still a mystery. If they are ranked according to the degree of danger, blood magicians will not attract their attention at all. Moreover, those who encounter the curse of blood magic are not members of the association. He's just an ordinary demon, and he doesn't even have the potential to become a spellcaster, so the association won't care."

The meaning of dissuasion in Edith's tone is obvious, and the style of the Mage Association is just like what he said. Never cared too much about the condition of non-casters. At present, the only way Siegel can think of is to create magic runes to suppress the speed of Janet's growth, thereby slowing down the speed of bloodline changes, and hopes to continue to find ways to delay time.

Siegel tapped his staff lightly and stood up to leave.

"Don't be busy." Edith stopped him. "The Mage Association doesn't have a ready-made solution, but it doesn't mean there is no way. For research related to the body and blood. Mage has never been the strongest and most advanced."

As if light suddenly appeared in the dark, Siegel hurried to seize the hope. "Mage Edith, please speak."

"The most basic thing in every life is the bloodline, and the most difficult thing to change is the bloodline. But for a class of people, the bloodline is not a rock, but like water, it is fluid and can be changed. Can you know who I am talking about? "

Siegel got the answer in seconds, but his doubts deepened: "Are you talking about a druid?"

The half-elf mage nodded: "Druids can transform themselves into animals and elements, and gain all the abilities of animals and elements. Some Druids can even transform into giant dragons, and can also use dragon might, Breath and the magic power of dragons. It's not a simple change of form, it can only be a change from the bloodline level."

"But my current relationship with the elves is not good, how can their Druids help?" Siegel asked: "And does Janet have the qualifications to become a Druid? I don't think it's too late. "

"You're wrong, it's not that Janet is a Druid. Druids need to understand, they need to truly embrace nature, and they don't rely on learning and imitation to succeed." Edith said: "My idea Yes, it is almost impossible to stop the growth of the devil bloodline, so why not let Janet change her bloodline completely?"

"I don't understand," Siegel said.

"You know there are priests in the Temple of the Earth Mother who have shown the power to bring the dead back to life. Several very devout believers have returned to the world under the intervention of divine power. But we don't want this kind of resurrection, because the process It will restore the bloodline before death and will not make changes." Edith explained patiently: "Druid has a spell ritual called reincarnation. It is similar to resurrection, but it actually changes the body and race together."

"Can you change from a demon to an ordinary human? Can you get rid of the curse from the devil in hell?"

"Theoretically yes." The half-elf mage said, "Essentially speaking, being reincarnated is actually a death, and the blood-related things attached to the body naturally lose their function. The priest's resurrection can recreate the original body. , but the reincarnation of the Druid is a new beginning."

"Need to die once?" Siegel was a little worried. "Is it safe?"

"There are definitely risks, and the transition between life and death will never be smooth sailing." Edith said: "This matter needs to be measured by yourself, whether it is really going to that step."

Siegel looked at the half-elf mage calmly. Try to find some clues from his expression. However, Edith has always had a calm expression, just looking at it with his deep eyes.

He got it. It's not that the Mage Association can't complete the task of rescuing Janet. Even if the association's own strength can't do it, it doesn't mean that the association's connections can't do it. The most powerful thing about the Mages Society is not the books and knowledge they collect. But they have penetrated into every corner of the world. Thinking about the "Precise Teleportation Array Volume Book" that it handed over to Siegel, you will know the style of the Mage Association - connecting the four directions and gathering strength.

But using the connections of the Mages, or the help of other Mages is never free. The first thing Siegel did when he entered the federation and became a full apprentice was to receive a price list. Prices for various spell services are listed above. Edith will naturally not help in vain, and only the exchange of what they need can form a solid relationship.

"Mr Edith, how can you help me?"

"You can also see that I have half elf blood. I have lived in the elf forest for nearly a hundred years, and even after becoming a full-fledged mage, I have contacts there. An elf druid owes me a favor, and he happened to be He is one of the druids who can cast reincarnation. I can use this favor to ask him for help, and I naturally want to benefit from you."

"Go ahead, Mage Edith."

"Reincarnation doesn't increase natural lifespan, so it can only be considered half-life. I don't want anything more than this—half-life." Edith said: "Tell me how you achieved and maintained this current state. This state, and then teach me. This is the condition I want."

"Do you want to become an undead?" Siegel did not understand: "Do you know the influence of the undead state on the mind, even if the transformation of a lich that is most suitable for the mage profession, the original soul will still lose its color and become numb. and silence."

"I don't want to become a lich, that's not in line with my philosophy. Maybe I will regret it before I die, but now I can be sure that the lich is not my purpose." Edith said: "I want you to be transformed into an undead. This spell. Even the Great Curse can be avoided, I can't help but be curious."

Siegel watched carefully. The half-elf mage did not express joy or excitement as he spoke, so his true intentions were hidden, not what he told Siegel. UU reading www. uukanshu.com But no matter what he wanted, Siegel didn't have the spell at all. how to give him?

"My current state is a special case. It was achieved with the help of Lord Faranis's Lich Elixir. I don't know how to reproduce it in others." There is no expression on the skin, and the half-elf can't tell whether this is the truth or a lie.

"If the Druid's reincarnation can solve Janet's troubles, I can't ask for it. But can I change the condition?" Siegel said: "I don't even know the ingredients and production methods of the Lich Elixir, let alone Analyze what special things are added to the medicine."

"How about I give you a three-year term?"

Siegel was silent. If he agrees, Janet will get the reincarnation technique, and she will have a three-year buffer period to study spells and improve her strength. The future is always full of changes, and after three years, he can shirk his research failure and fail to come up with a usable spell.

There is no shortage of special abilities in this world that only certain people can use, and no one else can learn them—and that's a perfect good reason. Siegel knew what was the wisest choice for the greatest benefit. All he has to do is nod his head. (To be continued.)
