Wizard Alchemist

Chapter 568: Tanecha
A hag is a chaotic, evil, demon-like monster. In many folklore, they like to wander in swamps or forests, disguising themselves as poor old people in need of help, luring other intelligent creatures to approach.

Then, they attack and kill with their hard finger bones and sharp nails.

This creature possesses tremendous strength and agility that is highly disproportionate to its shriveled and hunched appearance, and has excellent "grabbing" and "tearing" abilities.

But the most amazing thing is its inherent chaotic and evil soul.

The spiritual qualities contained within it can interfere with people's minds.

Roy guessed that it was a kind of source substance similar to talent.

The staff of Sanmobi uses its palm bones as a storage medium, thus giving it the ability to resist interference.

But the material it uses seems to be just an ordinary ghost, not a stronger demon ghost, or even a ghost king.

To this end, Roy went to Valentina's library to look for information and found a clear answer in a reference book called "Encyclopedia of Swamp Monsters".

“It can be done!
According to the witchcraft principle of induction and touch, this thing is fully qualified as a corresponding symbol.

As long as the operation process is correct, there is a high probability that a 'Reinforced Bone Wand' can be refined with a weakening ratio of more than 35%, a maximum weakening ceiling of 35 degrees, or even a larger ratio and a higher ceiling.

However, the corresponding materials can only be obtained from the Demon Ghost or the Ghost King.

Moreover, it must be one that possesses the ability of 'Specialized Curse'..."

This kind of thing may not be so easy to find.

Roy specially summoned the local native Beryl and asked her about it.

As expected, she had not even seen many ordinary ghosts, let alone demon ghosts and ghost kings.

“That thing is powerful and terrifying.

None of the hunters in the tribe could deal with it.

I only caught a glimpse of it once from a distance, when I was 12 years old and went hunting with my father and others..."

Beryl recalled the past, still haunted by the shadow of her childhood.

"Your strength is a bit weak, are you still at the low-level knight stage?"

Roy glanced at her and said lightly.

Beryl lowered her head in shame.

"I'm already an adult, but I'm still not as accomplished as my father and brothers. I've failed in my duties as a chief..."

"How old are you?"

Roy suddenly felt a little curious.

"I only became an adult three years ago, so I'm 3 now."

"what?"

Roy was slightly surprised.

This is indeed a bit unexpected.

His current body was that of a small teenager, and he couldn't help but look up.

Well, although she's not as tall as Atidia, and even smaller than the dark elf Planjie...

But he also looks like an adult.

But he told himself that he was only 15 years old?
In other words, only one year older than Freya?
"What did this grow on?"

Roy couldn't help but sigh.

Beryl became a little anxious after hearing what he said. She counted on her fingers, then sat down on the ground and counted on the toes of one foot.

"That's right, it's 15!"

Even primitive people could find a way to confirm numbers within 20.

"Okay, 15 is 15..."

In this primitive tribe, 12 years old is considered an adult. This is really outrageous.

However, it seems to make some sense...

With this in mind, Roy also began to look at Beryl with a new respect.

He asked, "How did you improve your strength? Have you practiced any combat skills?"

As a result, he knew nothing about anything.

The Serra tribe, like other tribes, spent their days hunting, hunting, and hunting. They spent their days in production and hunting.

They are proficient in various handicrafts, as well as specialized abilities such as spear proficiency and bow proficiency.

Occasionally, there would be some gifted people who had talents in playing musical instruments, singing and dancing similar to those of bards.

The most outstanding ones should be those who can sense the earth veins or spiritual energy of the soul and become wizards.

Once a wizard discovers that a child in the tribe has this talent, he will take him in as an apprentice and train him carefully.

This is how the cultural knowledge and witchcraft knowledge of the indigenous people of this world are passed down.

But unfortunately, the Sera tribe no longer has any apprentices.

They were all killed by Sammobi.

"Would you like to be my follower?"

Roy said to her on impulse.

"What is a follower?"

Beryl didn't quite understand.

"They are those who serve me as their Lord and are ready to die for me."

"That's fine. After all, you saved my life, and you also saved everyone in the clan."

Beryl blinked and said simply.

She was so simple that even Roy couldn't help but feel like he was kidnapping a young girl.

Perhaps it is for this reason that many gods prefer these primitive tribes.

……

After this, Roy drafted a wizarding contract for Beryl to sign.

Out of pity for her innocence, he didn't even resort to any devilish tactics, unlike the way he dealt with Nisha, using both soft and hard tactics.

The corresponding terms are also relatively relaxed, allowing Beryl to have more freedom, and even at some point in the future, she can decide on her own whether to follow him and leave, or stay in this tribe.

This made Nesa, who had witnessed all this, feel very angry. She said sarcastically, "Wow, you're 15 years old this year!"

Roy didn't bother to care about her and said to Beryl, "After a while, I will give you the wizard's blessing in the way you are accustomed to."

What he was talking about was a secret method he had obtained from Sammobi, which involved engraving tattoos on the body to enhance physical strength and speed in a manner similar to a rune array.

Locals call it "Tenecha".

This word is often associated with "clan totem tattoo". Translated into wizard language, it also has similar meanings to the "curse seal" and "mark" of the Xijiren Wuta.

Roy immediately thought of it as a "tattoo".

The blessing ceremony is called "Tainechake" (verb postposition).

This is a way to quickly "manufacture" warriors, but it requires more demanding materials and ritual environments.

Roy plans to train Beryl and master this kind of witchcraft.

"It seems to be based on 'totems'. Generally speaking, it's an animal that one admires, or phenomena like wind, rain, thunder and lightning, and one seeks the source of strength deep within one's soul.

What is the source of her power?"

He asked the other party about this.

As a result, Beryl didn't hesitate.

"Leopard! I want to be as nimble and agile as a leopard!"

"What's so good about leopards?"

Nisha was quite disdainful of this.

"How ignorant!"

"In fact, what matters is not whether it is good or not, but whether it is suitable or not."

Roy, however, was surprisingly supportive and said to Beryl decisively.

"Choose the leopard!"
