Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 23 Waist-Length Hair
"This smell, uh..."

After drinking the potion, Roy burped.

It is as smooth as milk tea, and also like soup, sticky and greasy. Apart from a slight fishy and salty taste, it has no other flavor.

However, as the medicine slid down the mouth and esophagus, it felt as if a cold breath spread from the stomach, causing people to shiver unconsciously.

The mysterious strange power makes goose bumps stand up and hairs stand on end.

Naturally, it also went towards the top of the head, making the scalp tingle.

After a few minutes, the hair grows rapidly.

Roy originally had short hair that was convenient for daily life as an apprentice, but it suddenly grew to waist level and was extremely thick.

This amazing amount of hair is the envy of all alopecia and hair loss patients in the world. They wish they could pluck out all the hairs and transplant them to their own heads.

But even at this point, the hair still continued to grow, refusing to stop at all.

Roy watched as it spread out of the bed and began to fall toward the ground.

Soon after, it reached a height of more than ten feet, spreading across the room like black water and scattered all over the floor.

Amidst the black clouds that resembled smoke and fog, an eerie chill filled the air, and among the thick black hair, there seemed to be several huge python-like shadows swimming.

They were black with a red glow, and as they slowly raised their heads, they looked extremely ferocious.

This is the permanent activation energy at work inside. The strange power coming from the hair ghost residue has begun to revive inside the hair!
Roy began to try to control it using his spiritual power.

These are actually the control tips for activation, and they are universal to each other.

Under the control of witchcraft power, the hair whooshed and stretched out in all directions like tentacles.

Tables and chairs, beds, clothes hangers, bottles and jars...

All tangled in strands of hair.

Bang bang bang!

The glass shattered and the wooden boards creaked and deformed.

Suddenly, there was a snap!
Tables and chairs were broken and wood chips were flying everywhere!
Even the iron rod of the clothes hanger was twisted and deformed on the spot, bent by the long hair.

"It's really good. This hair is very tough. When it's combined, it has several times the strength!

An ordinary person who hasn't been strengthened would definitely not be able to break free from such a stranglehold!"

Seeing this, Roy secretly praised in his heart.

However, his hair was too long to move easily, so he hesitated for a moment and began to try to tighten it.

As he thought about it, the black waterfall, which was several feet long, shrank back to waist level.

But if you shorten it any further, you can't do it.

Roy held up his long, beautiful black hair and stroked it, feeling a little helpless.

I could only find a piece of cloth to tie it up simply, and then clean up the mess in the room.

……

"Roy, what happened to your hair!"

"So beautiful! What hair growth potion did you drink? I've been staying up late lately and my hair is falling out badly!"

It is difficult to hide the changes in image from people around you.

When they had dinner together again the next day, Renien and others saw it and couldn't help asking in surprise.

As a female apprentice, Niya's eyes lit up with envy.

Fortunately, there are many strange things in the wizarding world, so they didn't ask too many questions and just thought that they had drunk the wrong medicine.

There are many cases where failed experiments have resulted in explosions, disfigurement, or various irreversible physical injuries.

Not to mention growing hair, even growing a few more arms or eyes is normal.

"By the way, the tower has been pushing all kinds of mandatory quests again recently!"

Soon, everyone shifted their attention.

Another year is coming to an end, and the impact of last year's taboo experiment is still continuing.

I heard that Wuta is preparing to revise the rules, forcing all apprentices to complete at least four missions per year. They will even encourage over-completion and receive extra rewards.

As a result, the probability of various combat losses and even deaths increased.

Roy had good places like the apple orchard to complete tasks. He had been there several times in the six months since he started learning the "Animation Technique", so he was not too worried about this kind of thing.

But no one else can escape this trend.

"Alas, I've only just revealed the twelfth rune of will, and there are still several more to go."

"I'm even worse off than you, I only have eleven!"

"Next June will be the next tower clearing period, this time targeting second-year intermediate apprentices.

If you don't meet the requirements, you might actually have to be relegated to the rank of deacon before you can continue to obtain residency."

"That's equivalent to normalizing mandatory tasks, which requires a lot of time and energy to deal with things other than studying."

"What should I do? I can't catch up, and I can't get rid of it..."

Others don't have that convenience and are more or less worried.

"By the way, Roy, you always seem to ace your tests...

Is it time to reveal the fifteenth rune now?"

Renien asked a question.

"About that." Roy said vaguely.

"You're always like this, giving a perfunctory answer whenever I ask you anything."

Renien was not stupid either. He could tell that Roy had no intention of answering seriously, so he could not help but speak helplessly.

"But if I ask again, please answer honestly... Do you have the strength of a low-level knight now?"

Roy said: "Of course, what's wrong?"

His low-level knight strength was a long time ago, and he didn't mind exposing it in front of his companions to refresh their impression.

"That's great, we've all strengthened our physiques recently.

Otherwise, why don't we just take on that high-level monster hunting mission together?"

Renien suggested happily.

"Five knight-level fighters should be enough to take down the murloc tribe!"

"Five? A tribe of murlocs?"

"Yes, the four of us, plus Celine...

Don't look at her like that, she now has the strength of a mid-level knight, much stronger than us!"

Renien explained briefly.

It turned out that while they were intensively studying the "Animation Technique", they had each completed some mandatory tasks for intermediate apprentices, and ended up suffering minor losses at the hands of a tribe of fishmen on the west coast.

But it was precisely those experiences that made them discover that the tribe was quite wealthy.

If we can work together to solve it, we can complete the mandatory task and replenish our meager savings.

Roy was penniless and couldn't help but be tempted.

He asked in detail to find out more.

The murlocs are a kind of low-level monsters with ferocious temperaments, often multiplying in large numbers near the coast and islands in the sea.

Since they can often collect some marine resources, the great wizards did not kill them all, but restricted them to a certain area as a training place for apprentices.

Wuta issues clearing missions every year to prevent them from over-reproducing.

But recently, something seems to be amiss...

The number of related tasks has also increased.

Renien said: "Why not just accept the mission to wipe them out and go and annihilate the murloc tribe!
I've done some research and found that there are a lot of bitter fruits growing on the sea cliffs over there, as well as sea products such as pearl clams and blue-scaled tetras.

Besides, the apprentices that tribe robbed and killed in the past might have left behind some inheritance. If we take care of them, everything will be ours!"
