Arcane Linguist

Chapter 269
Under the night, the moonlight is cold and everything is quiet.

Silver light shone through the broken window on one side of the mage tower, and the scattered items and blood and filth in the room were shocking.

"Dancing Lights!"

After casting several spells in succession, the mages who came here used temporary magic light sources to illuminate the whole place.

"What the hell is going on? The subject of the "Soul-stealing Technique" actually lost control! "

With solemn expressions on their faces, they endured the discomfort and checked their surroundings, but they found no clue.

"Gallo, you are finally here!"

At this moment, Oksiah turned his head and looked aside, and found Gallo hurriedly coming from the corridor, and couldn't help but secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

He quickly went up to explain the situation: "I didn't make it clear just now, but now, we have investigated the basic situation. There is something wrong with the "Soul Seizing Technique" experiment.

For some reason, the object that was supposed to become a walking zombie had a strong mutated reaction...

But because of the need to conceal the details of the "Soul Seizing Technique", the surveillance here was closed, and even the tower spirit did not record anything in this area.

We have to do a thorough investigation to find out exactly what happened, and you may have to take action yourself. "

"Is MacMillan the performer?" Gallo asked in a deep voice.

"Yes, he is there, look..." Oxea pointed to the side.

Jia Luo's expression suddenly turned extremely ugly.

The MacMillan in Oxea's mouth had been broken into several pieces and scattered in the room.

What Oxia was pointing to was a bloody human head lying in a pool of blood looking at them.

Gallo didn't notice it for a while. At first glance, he was really frightened.

"Heroic"!
He backhand cast a spell to stabilize his spirit.

This kind of traditional buff, similar to the "Secret Blessing of Six Armors" but more widely spread in the arcane world, quickly suppressed his adverse reactions and became as calm and calm as a veteran who has experienced many battles.

He looked close to the head for a while, then turned to the other side.

It was the body of the subject.

As an eliminated apprentice in the tower, all weapons and spell-casting abilities have been removed. Logically speaking, it is impossible to do what is happening in front of him.

"Teacher, I have a guess."

While everyone was thinking, a voice broke the silence.

Gallo turned to look at Piero who was speaking. Piero was also looking at him with calmness and wisdom in his eyes.

But there seems to be something hidden inside.

There was a flash of thoughtfulness in Gallo's eyes, but he felt that it was not incomprehensible for young people to want to analyze their performance on this occasion.

Then he said: "It just so happens that you have participated in the entire study of "Soul Seizing Technique", and you are very familiar with the mechanism of this spell. Let's talk about it. "

Piero said: "I think this should be caused by Mr. Macmillan's wrong operation.

The principle of soul-stealing was originally to use magical power to absorb souls and transform the power for one's own use. However, he may have mistakenly injected his own spiritual energy into the body of the recipient during the operation.

As a result, the subject transformed into a madman, and he realized that something was wrong and interrupted the spell casting, but fell into weakness due to the backlash...

Of course, the specific circumstances surrounding the incident may only be known through further careful investigation. "

After listening to this, Gallo said calmly: "It doesn't have to be so troublesome, I can just cast a spell."

Piero was slightly stunned: "But, I'm afraid their souls..."

Gallo ignored him, mentally connected to the mage tower, and cast a rare spell that ordinary mages had no chance to learn and master: "True Knowledge"! "

A hazy phantom enveloped the scene, as if going back in time, performing a silent mime.

Everyone soon saw that the "Macmillan" composed of magic aura was casting a spell on the subject who was restrained on the operating table. As expected, as Piero said, there was a reaction of interruption of spell casting, and then suffered a backlash. Fall into weakness.

The subject transforms, breaks free, and ends up tearing him apart.

After that, he frantically demolished the house, triggered the security spell of the mage tower, and was killed on the spot.

Gallo was silent for a while and said: "Attribute the problem to MacMillan's illegal operation and the backlash caused by drunken spellcasting. I will talk to the family personally.

For other things that should not be announced to the outside world, everyone should use the same tone and don’t say too much. "

"Ok."

"clear."

Everyone agreed.

At the critical moment, unity is still important within the school.

But someone suddenly asked a key question: "Where is Master Watson..."

"Teacher..." Gallo hesitated and finally shook his head, "It's better not to tell him the truth."

Everyone couldn't help being slightly surprised.

But since it was Gallo's decision, it was hard to say anything.

They were more or less at a distance from the grumpy Archmage Watson. Normally, except for Minx, few of them could tolerate him.

"It's best not to conduct related experiments in the tower anymore. Compared with MacMillan's incident, it is more difficult to explain the damage to the mage tower." Oksiah gave a vague reminder.

Although that guy Macmillan is also a member of the school, after all, he has a low rank and is a marginal figure.

Since it was his own mistake, it was not difficult to suppress this matter.

On the contrary, it is somewhat difficult to explain the Mage Tower and Academy.

The cost of compensating this laboratory and repairing the mage tower is much more expensive than Macmillan.

"With the Scroll Association's funds, we should be able to cope with the losses in the tower, but in the future...

Piero, you can find a suitable place outside and set up a laboratory. This kind of magic can be done outside. "

Gallo pondered for a moment and decided to give his most valued students a chance to practice.

The three-year period is coming soon, and according to Reiner's vocational training system, it's time to graduate.

"As you wish, teacher." Piero said excitedly, stroking his chest and saluting.

"We have also considered the idea of ​​using the "Soul-stealing Technique" in reverse. We originally thought it had no practical value, but now it seems that there is an opportunity to improve the "Insanity Technique".

You should also follow up and don't waste the knowledge that Macmillan paid for with his life. "

Many mages from Atrein couldn't help but glance at Piero with a hint of envy.

Becoming the head of a certain laboratory and being assigned a project is not an ordinary reuse.

Although these taboo studies do not gain much publicity and cannot apply for national funding, they can still be regarded as real power.

What they didn't know was that after Piero returned, cold sweat broke out on his forehead and he sat down on the chair. It took a long time to come back to his senses.

"Hey, boy, have you seen the power of magic!
If I hadn't helped you, it would have been impossible to hide it from your teacher with your little tricks!Atlain's level of "True Seeing" is famously powerful in the universe! "

The green flaming skull quietly emerged and said with a bit of ridicule.

"Indeed, no high-level mage should be underestimated, even if he is calculating mentally or not!

But...if I also had that kind of power!If I had that kind of power..."

Piero clenched his fists tightly, becoming more and more eager.

"This operation was very successful. It not only absorbed the soul of a third-level mage, laying the foundation for promotion, but also obtained the position of laboratory director.

More importantly, finally moving out. "

The flaming skull smiled sinisterly.

"I, Dialos, can finally show off my skills!"

……

East Lena Mage Tower, inside Roland's private residence.

Roland was sitting on a large office chair with a relaxed look on his face, laughing and chatting with Atali and Rosa.

Atali has a slender figure, wearing leather armor and tight leather pants. Her hair has been tied into a ponytail after growing up for a while, and she has a youthful, toned and sassy look.

But because her life has been really idle recently, she inevitably has a bit more laziness and looseness in her body.

Mr. Gang Kidd frowned at this, but for some reason, instead of preaching, he acquiesced.

Although he is upright and rigid, he is by no means stupid. It can also be seen that the future planned by Roland for Atali is not to fight and kill, so there is no need to maintain the military style.

As for Princess Rosa, she has a completely different style.

She was wearing a gorgeous palace-style Hanfu that Roland admired. She was like a classical beauty from a movie, delicate and elegant.

But perhaps because she has been working as a secretary for Roland for many years, handling a lot of people and things, and developing her talents, she is no longer the gentle and pleasant young princess she used to be.

Not to mention in the Wizard's Tower, many people even as far away as Atline knew that there was a capable person beside Roland who was responsible for handling all kinds of affairs.

Roland trusted her very much and entrusted her with many things. This was real power.

As for the comprador Reiner and the nobles at all levels who worshiped Art Lain and even knelt down to lick him, let alone the nobles at all levels.

Now Princess Rosa is no longer known as "Lena's most beautiful woman", but has been replaced by "Sir Roland's right-hand assistant", and her reputation has become more and more grand, and she always sticks to her word.

But no matter how "negative the yin and embracing the yang" the two women are, there is a huge contrast between hardness and softness, but in front of Roland, they show the same gentleness and considerateness.

They are chatting now, and they are not talking about serious matters such as the mage tower and the academy, but about their parents' personal differences.

"It turns out that Mr. Roland and Sister Atali are from the same hometown. I really didn't know that!"

"Indeed."

"Then do you need to go back to visit relatives during the New Year holiday? If necessary, I can make arrangements in advance..."

Roland pondered, slightly hesitant.

Atali looked at him with some confusion.

She didn't know yet that after Roland was admitted to the Mage Tower, he hadn't been back for several years.

"If I can't get away this year, I won't go back. But don't worry, Atali. If you need a vacation, just apply and I will make arrangements for you. The plane teleportation array quota owned by the alternate committee members can also be transferred. For your use..."

Atali said: "Then why are you so embarrassed? When you have time, I will go back and have a look with you."

"That's... okay." Roland didn't expect that Atali would still acquiesce that she would go back.

I was quick to say it for a while, but I already regretted it after agreeing.

But after thinking about it, he felt that it was time to deal with this matter head-on. Maybe he could settle the relationship between the past and the past while visiting family for a vacation.

Returning to the college office, Roland was just about to get into the mood and start working when he suddenly saw Blaise walking over with a teacup in his hands. He looked like an idle person gossiping about nothing, and said mysteriously: "Hey, Roland, there's Xi Lai." Have you heard the secret about Na?"

"What's the matter?" Roland was a little confused.

"Morella also sent you an email, but you didn't handle it?"

"It's not an important email. I don't have time to read it. Haven't you ever seen someone busy all day long?" Roland complained.

His mailbox is full all day long, and even Rosa has assigned a specialist from the secretariat to handle it. How could he possibly be able to see through it?

"Oh, that's true. It's not a big deal. It's just that Autodox's group had an experimental accident and a third-level mage died."

"It's normal for people to die in magic experiments. As long as it's not a vicious event that exceeds the limit, it's okay."

Roland said calmly.

"I said that you are also a high-level mage. There is no need to be surprised by this kind of thing, right? Seeing that the three-year period is coming soon, it is better to think more about how to prepare corresponding projects to further expand the advantage."

Blaise said: "Is it a competition between mage towers? I think we are sure to win, so why is there any need to open another project?

I think you should stop thinking about this. You might as well write more novels and update "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" soon! "

"It's not advisable to open champagne at halftime..." Roland said helplessly.

But this time, his writing of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is no longer limited to the level of popular novels.

He also wanted to try out some practices in the field of runes.

Besides, Atali has a good feeling about it and likes to watch it.

So after chatting with Blaise for a while, he continued to use the "copying technique" honestly and recorded the manuscript.

As Roland continues to update, the exciting plot of the Three Kingdoms series has once again attracted the attention of all parties.

Even the bard Poites sent an email, requesting that it be spread in bardic ways such as storytelling or ballads.

After Rosa told him about this, Roland readily agreed without thinking.

He cannot do this by himself, inheriting civilization and benefiting the world at the same time.

We still have to rely on these helpers.

……

Night, Xishan Manor.

Gnobion had just returned to his apartment from the office. He was about to take a rest before going through the information. Suddenly, he saw a mysterious figure wearing a robe and a black cloak sitting in the living room, waiting for him quietly. .

"Who are you?" Gnobion said warily.

"Don't be nervous. I'm here to help you realize your wish. I'm a friend, not your enemy."

The mysterious man had an ordinary appearance, but his smile seemed to have a breathtaking charm, and he said quietly.

"We have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity right now. Don't you want to hear about it?"
