Knight and Wand

Chapter 242 Laura's Creation
In the workshop on the upper floor of the tower, Leon removed the cloak covering his broken arm.

Laura frowned and sighed slightly: ".So careless?"

"I'm sorry, I'll be more careful next time." Leon said embarrassedly: "Well, can you take it back?"

The wizard lady looked at him with dissatisfaction in her golden eyes, and said unhappily: "What if I say I can't do it?"

"!"

Olivia on the side opened her mouth slightly, her eyes trembling: “Even Miss Laura can’t do it?”

Looking at the panicked girl, Laura smiled, reached out and rubbed the girl's blonde hair, and comforted her softly: "Okay~, I just scared him, how could I scare you."

Olivia lowered her head in embarrassment, blushing as she obediently let herself be touched on the head. The other person was an elder of the same generation as her ancestors, and she didn't mind being touched by this kind young lady. Although she was not shorter than the other person, when facing Laura, she always had the illusion of facing an older sister.

“You didn’t react at all.” Laura looked at Leon again.

"Even among the contemporary warlocks of Orland, there are people who can try it. How could you not be able to do it? This must be a piece of cake for our teacher Laura." Leon laughed carelessly.

"Then you must protect yourself well. I'll be there for you this time, and in the future..." Laura frowned and swallowed the words in her heart.

"Forget it, sit down and I'll help you heal your arm."

She raised her hand slightly, and the box containing the severed arm in Corvis's hand flew in front of her.

Miss Fawang then said to the two of them, "Help him untie the bandages."

Leon pulled a chair over, sat down, and raised half of his left arm to make it easier for Olivia and Corvis to move.

".I must be careful next time. This was an accident for me. I didn't expect to be ambushed and encounter such a strong enemy. But if I hadn't been injured by the Uriah attack, I could have escaped from the sky even if I couldn't win."

As he spoke, he couldn’t help but tell Laura what he was thinking on the road just now: “By the way, if I really die accidentally, you should be able to use the Neti card to save me from the Dead Sea, right?
I am now somewhat famous among the nobles of the Northern Kingdom and the common people, at least more famous than that guy Canis."

Laura's hand, which was opening the box, suddenly paused.

She raised her eyes, looked at Leon seriously, and warned him seriously: "No, you can't have such expectations. If you die, it will be irreversible. Even the Neti card can't revive you!"

"Ah?" Leon opened his eyes wide upon hearing this.

This was something he had never thought of.

Olivia and Corvis, who were helping him remove the bandages, also stopped, their eyes full of surprise.

Both of them knew the magic of the Neti cards, and because of the miraculous magic that was like a miracle, they had at least a minimum of psychological comfort for Leon's safety at worst.

But Laura's words directly penetrated this insurance for Leon's life.

"Why?" Leon asked puzzledly.

Laura smiled bitterly in her heart.

She calmly raised her left hand and pointed at her head. She didn't say anything more, but only hinted ambiguously: "You know it's because you're 'special'."

Leon seemed to understand vaguely what the young teacher meant.

Is it because I am a time traveler from Earth?

Is it possible that after I die in this world, my soul will not fall into Yinnie's Dead Sea?
If this is the reason, then the Neti magic created by Lady Aphrodite and the Dead Sea Dragon Yine will indeed be unable to salvage her soul.

Damn it. How come the identity of a time traveler becomes a DeBuff attribute when it comes to me?

It's actually not affected by this world's resurrection magic.

A cold sweat ran down his back, and fear surged into Leon's heart.

For the time being, no explanation was given to Olivia and Corvis who were still confused.

Leon assured Laura: “Okay, I understand, I will cherish my life more in the future.”

But he was a little confused.

If that's the case, why didn't Laura warn him when he got the Neti card in the past, and why did this magic have no effect on him?
Seeing that Leon didn't doubt him, Laura nodded.

At this time, Corvis and Olivia had carefully removed the bandage, revealing the wound cut by the blade.

The broken part of Leon's arm was covered with a special translucent ointment prepared by the pharmacist of the Orland Palace and was not sutured.

Because after discussion, several sorcerer advisers around the king believed that the healing of the wound would create greater obstacles for subsequent attempts to reattach the arm.

Looking at the hideous cross-section, Corvis frowned tightly.

Olivia closed her eyes in pain, unable to bear to watch any longer.

Laura's eyes showed no emotion.

Only rejoice in my heart
Fortunately, she is not here, or maybe she has already seen it here?
". Circulate the magic element to block the wound and prevent bleeding." Laura ordered.

Leon quickly did as she said.

With a thought, Laura caused the ointment on Leon's wound to evaporate and dissolve, revealing the flesh and blood underneath, but the blood was stuck on the wound surface due to Leon's power.

Taking out the broken arm that still remained active in the magic and low temperature, Laura measured the size of Leon's arms with her eyes, adjusted the changes in the flesh and blood, and made up for the missing slight length.

Then, those slender fingers stroked the broken arm, wiping off the magic patterns set up by the warlocks of the time, and the pale green magic light entangled it from the magic ritual she unfolded.

Coming closer, Laura put her left hand on the opponent's shoulder, and the same magic spell spread, covering the broken arm.

Under Miss King of France's meticulous operation, Leon's separated limbs were reconnected and put back together seamlessly, with skin to flesh, blood vessels to blood vessels, and bones to bones.

Leon only felt a numbness like a TV snowflake attacking his brain, followed by tingling and itching from the broken arm.

A fluorescent green spot of light flickered in a circle between the joined surfaces. When the light went out, the broken arm returned to his body perfectly except for a circle of skin that was whiter than the skin above and below.

The lost perception of his left hand returned to Leon's mind, and he even felt the touch of Laura's little hand.

He tried to move happily, but when he raised his left arm, the part from forearm to palm still drooped and dangled, making it difficult to control.

Laura wanted to touch his head, but when she saw Olivia with a happy face beside her, she changed her mind and tapped the other person's forehead with her finger.

"Don't worry, the nerves are still growing and reconnecting. It will take about two days."

Leon suddenly realized and felt relieved.

Olivia gently touched her lover's recovered arm and looked at the white-haired girl with great gratitude, her eyes shining like stars: "Thank you so much, Miss Laura!"

Laura winked at her.

". Protect him well, that's the greatest thanks to me." The blonde girl was stunned for a moment, then nodded seriously.

"Ah."

Leon stood up from his chair, lowered the rolled-up sleeve of his left arm, and couldn't help but look at the particularly conspicuous new utensil on the table.

He had never seen that thing in the Mage Tower before.

The multi-faceted metal frame is engraved with intricate magic patterns. The frame wraps around the crystal lampshade in the middle and there is a handle on top.

It looked similar to the small earth vein spirit lamp he had made before. It was a lamp, but it was about thirty centimeters long and wide, much larger in size, and had a more complicated structure.

"what is that?"

Leon knew that during the time his little teacher stayed in Avalon, he must have made some progress in how to deal with the undead disaster.

"This is the result of your absence. I asked Olivia to send people to find materials and design it as best as possible. It does not require complicated spells. Anyone who has learned how to manipulate magic can use it."

Laura summoned the lantern and gave it to Leon: "Try it, inject magic into it."

Leon immediately tried to channel the power into the lamp along the magic patterns on the metal frame.

A soft white light that was not blinding suddenly bloomed, making the Mage Tower exceptionally bright.

Leon was puzzled, not knowing the effect of the lantern in his hand other than illumination. Apart from the sense of the flow of magic that was constantly being infused into it, he had no other feeling.

But Laura’s creation is, of course, more than just a magic flashlight.

Knowing that Olivia who was present would definitely not be affected by such simple magic, the white-haired girl directly asked Corvis on the side: "How do you feel?"

The blond boy frowned and closed his eyes, experiencing the strange heaviness in his mind.

“My body seems to be getting heavier, but also not heavier.”

“That shows it’s working.”

Laura turned to Leon and continued to explain: "It can increase the stability of the soul, resist the soul-calling magic from the void, and establish a connection with the spirits in the light domain, so that the souls of ordinary people will not be easily extracted from the body.

Of course, it doesn’t stop there. The life protected by the lantern’s light can also resist some weak soul attack spells and weaken the undead illuminated by its light.”

Knowing that the magic item in his hand could allow ordinary people to resist the terrible magic sound of the Soul Summoning Bell, Leon hurriedly asked: "What is the range of this lamp? How many people can it protect?"

Laura replied, "It depends on the materials used to make the lantern, as well as the magic power and skills of the caster. For example, in Corvis' case, I think the effect of keeping the light on continuously can protect about two to three hundred people."

"That's enough." Leon turned off the lights and felt excited.

Including himself, he and Corvis could at least cover all members of the Knights of Avalon with the lantern's illumination.

Looking at her increasingly flickering spirit, Laura had no choice but to turn around and walk to the counter to pick up a large stack of design manuscripts that she had specially compiled in Feru language.

"Here are the design drawings for a large-scale Soul-Fixing Lamp facility, but it consumes too many materials, and Avalon cannot afford it right now." She handed the drawings to Leon.

"The detailed instructions and manuscripts for making the lantern in your hand are also included. I have simplified its design to a very simple level. Even for the declining mages of today, as long as they follow the blueprint, I think it will not be difficult to replicate this creation."

Leon understood what she meant.

"I will immediately order someone to make multiple copies and send them to the various kingdoms on the continent."

He had no intention of keeping it for himself, nor did he want to take advantage of this crisis to bargain with various forces using the power of this creation.

In the face of danger, clinging to one's own petty gains will only delay greater things. Only by giving all parties the weapon to curb the expansion of the undead realm as soon as possible can this disaster be prevented.

Laura smiled, not surprised that the other party would make such a decision.

"I deconstructed the great magic from the void. The one behind this disaster is definitely related to the demons from the spirit world. They may be using the souls on this land to try to permanently 'turn it into the underworld' and create a dead zone on the ground."

Her eyes flickered slightly. At this moment, for her former compatriots, this was indeed possible, but she was still puzzled, why didn't this arouse the attention of the Dead Sea Dragon? Could that magic so easily block Yin Nie's sight?

".Leon, the Dead Sea is different from the spirit world. Yinnie's domain is always connected to the material world in the void. That is the end point of the annihilation of all things. There is no boundary or curtain between spirit and matter.

I guess they want to create a part of the earth similar to the Dead Sea, so that they can more easily come to the world from the realm of chaos through that underworld."

"So, we have to destroy the clock towers that collect souls to stop them?" Leon asked.

"That's right, but that's not enough. Even if we succeed once, they can continue to repeat it countless times. Rolandar, I must return to the King's Court."

Laura looked at the increasingly hazy spirit, raised her head, and smiled apologetically: "I'm sorry. I just wanted you to be careful about your safety, but now I can only rely on you. I promise, this is the last time."

Leon shook his head: "I have relied on you more times than ever before. I don't know how many times you have saved my life."

He shook his left arm, which he could only control half of, and said, "Look at this arm. I owe you another debt. If this continues, I will never be able to repay you for your kindness."

Laura smiled faintly: ".You always call me teacher and ask me to take care of my disciples. Isn't it normal?"

The magical power of the earth veins is on the verge of reaching its limit.

She did not delay any further. She sighed softly, and her body turned into particles of light, transforming back into the golden Neti Card.

Reach out and catch the falling card.

Leon stared at the white-haired girl sleeping peacefully on the card, feeling inexplicably regretful.

After this crisis is over, he wants to discuss with Laura whether there is any way to create a body for her that can move freely in the outside world.

It was also his fault that he was too weak. He really didn't know how many years it would take for him to have magic reserves comparable to an earth spirit vein and be able to summon Miss Lola to appear outside the tower.

Carefully placing the golden Neti card on the table, Leon was stunned and slapped his head.

After talking for so long, I still forgot one thing.

Taking out the silver card that was split into two pieces by Count Arsen from his pocket, Leon wrote an apology note and put it aside for Laura.

Then he took the design drawing of the Gu Ling Lamp and left with Olivia and Corvis.

As he went downstairs, he felt something was wrong.

I have been to the Mage Tower so many times, but this time when I came back, I felt like something was missing.

Scratching his head in confusion, he went down to the lobby on the first floor, and then his long-lost consciousness of being a plastic worker suddenly surfaced in his mind.

Hey?
Where have all those lifelike dolls with long black hair left by Lady Aphrodite in the model cabinet of the workshop gone?

Was it taken back to the warehouse by Laura?
