Chapter 160 The Price of Magic

Sean focused on the dwarf in front of him, and took a few steps back cautiously. His body suddenly began to glow, and a blue halo slowly radiated from his body, and blue light also appeared from its eyes. The blood vessels spread to its whole body, making it look like a colorful doll.

Its expression suddenly turned ferocious, and there was a low growl from its mouth, which made people feel creepy.

Sure enough, it was right if he didn't drink, Xiao En quickly stepped back, using the power of the sun to condense a shield.

"Number Four? How are you feeling?"

The dwarf looked at him sharply, and the magical energy swirled around it, forming a whirlwind-like energy field. The dwarf was slowly lifted up in mid-air by the energy, and the linen robe on his body fluttered in the wind. Loud, it feels a bit like a super villain.

"I feel very weird." A voice echoed in the air, causing several other dwarves to look around, but number four didn't speak, it seemed that magical energy directly transformed its consciousness into a voice.

Sean watched it vigilantly, ready to strike at any time.

Fortunately, the docile character of the dwarf has not been changed by magic, and number four is still the same number four. From this point of view, at least magic power will not affect the mind.

"What's wrong with me—Master, what should I do?" Number Four's voice was still echoing in the air, but it showed a frightened look on its face, as if it felt its psychological changes, and the surrounding energy field It became more and more violent.

Sean yelled, "Don't be nervous number four, read it to me - fire is raging!"

"Fire - blazing!"

There was no response, and Sean quickly recalled that when he read Bergwood's memory back then, it seemed that casting a spell was not just about chanting a spell, but also sketching a picture in his mind.

"You read it again, and this time when you read it, you have to imagine the scene of the fire in your mind, and you have to do a spell-casting action—like this."

"Raging flames!" Number four waved its little hand, tens of meters in front of it, boom!Flames spewed out from the ground, forming a sea of ​​flames five or six meters in diameter.

Sean was very excited to see it, and it really worked. A powerless goblin just drank a bottle of magic liquid and became a powerful magician.

The power of this magic is much greater than his fire of anger, and it is also highly controllable.

"Go on, read after me—the wind is blowing! Remember to imagine the wind blowing!"

"The wind blows!" No. [-] raised his hand, and the strong wind gathered from all directions, forming a five-meter-high tornado in front of the dwarf. It blew out against the ground, sucking the ignited flames into the wind , raging in the valley like a flame tornado.

Fortunately, the vegetation in this valley is very sparse, so it cannot be burned.

Sean continues to teach Four how to do magic.

Lightning flashes!The one who performed this magic was No. [-] who was obviously taken aback by the thunder and lightning, and then cast the magic door to open.

A teleportation door slowly emerged, and one could see the room where the dwarfs lived at the other end of the door, and one could even see No. [-], No. [-], No. [-] sleeping on a wooden bed.

Sean was very excited to see it, but it's a pity that he only knows these four magic spells, otherwise he could conduct more experiments.

He glanced at number four floating in the air, and cast a few spells on his face. The blue light on his body seemed to be slightly dimmed, and the whirlwind around him also stabilized. 0
"Okay, you can take a rest first, don't walk around during this period, go and get some food on the fifth and sixth, are you hungry on the fourth? Do you want to eat something?"

"I feel so full and so—high!"

"Then don't eat it."

Xiao En observed quietly, the ability to cast spells was affirmed, and it had no effect on consciousness, but it was hard to say whether it would affect the body.

Although No. [-] still looks sober, its eyes and veins on its body emit blue light, especially around the eyes. The blue light is diffused, which is cool and a little scary.

He took out his notebook and pocket watch, and for the next hour or so, Sean continued to observe No. [-].

While observing, record in a notebook.

1 minute and 40 seconds: No. [-] was very calm, it tried to cast a spell again, I stopped it, and No. [-] accepted the order obediently.

5 points: Number four asked to cast magic again. It showed a lack of interest in this magical ability that a dwarf should not have. I stopped it again.

12 minutes and 30 seconds: No. [-] asked for the third time to cast magic, and showed an anxious mood. For safety reasons, I decided to let it cast, and it put a blazing fire, it seemed to like the fire, but to Thunderbolt expresses the emotion of fear.

It released multiple spells in a row, and faintly showed signs of losing control. I ordered it to stop. Number four hesitated, but still accepted the order.

The blue light on it seems to have weakened.

20 minutes and 17 seconds: The blue light on No. [-] continued to weaken, and its floating height also dropped from more than one meter to about half a meter.

24 minutes and 55 seconds: No. [-] completely fell back to the ground, most of the blue light on its body disappeared, only the eyes and surrounding blood vessels were still glowing.

30 minutes and 25 seconds: The blood vessels are no longer glowing, but there is still a glimmer in the eyes.

37 points: The last ray of light has disappeared, and No. [-] shows a very tired feeling.

41 points: Number [-] asked for water and calmed down a bit after drinking a lot of water.

42 minutes and 30 seconds: No. [-] continued to ask for water, but only took a sip before throwing away the water glass, and it walked around anxiously.

45 points: Number Four started asking me for more 'magic liquid', although he didn't speak, but I could read his anxiety from his body language.

I didn't give him any more magic liquid, and the observation continued.

47 points: No. [-] began to beg, it made a strange sound, like the whining of a small animal, out of consideration for the morale of my subordinates, I let the other dwarves leave the scene.

49 points: No. [-] began to become manic. It hit the ground with its head and bit the weeds. It seemed that the inner prohibition on food no longer controlled it.

53 points: No. [-] begged for 'magic liquid' again, and showed hostility after being refused.

55 points: Number four attacked me. Although it was clumsy, I didn't subdue him because I needed to observe more effects of the magic liquid on the body.

57 points: No. [-] became extremely weak. It lay on the ground and did not move. At the same time, it spoke for the first time. It spoke a language that I could not understand, maybe some dialect of a distant country.

59 points: Four calms down. It looks desperate. This is the first time I have seen such an expression on the dwarf's face.

67 points: Number four begins to agitate again, but it seems to be unable to move.

71 points: No. [-] calmed down again, its eyes became empty, and it seemed to have lost consciousness.

77 points: Number four's breathing begins to weaken, and the pulsation decreases.

83 points: No. [-] stopped breathing completely, and the experiment ended.

Experimental conclusion: The magic liquid can endow the human body with powerful magic power, which will not affect the mind, but will cause irreversible damage to the body, and may be addictive.

According to the preliminary observation of the corpse, the magic energy will have an intuitive impact on the human body that is visible to the naked eye. The surface of No. [-]'s body has left a lot of burn marks, which should be the mutation of the magic energy when it flows through the blood vessels.

Number four's eyes are vitrified, and the magical energy seems to have a greater impact on the eyes...
