Kobold Wizard's Journal

Chapter 46 Old Gold Teeth and Spring
"Look, these lights are so beautiful! Even more beautiful than the lanterns those sharp-eared people boast about. Ah, although, I haven't seen those colorful lanterns they talk about," Old Gold Tooth said. Perhaps because he couldn't move his neck, he didn't even look at the two people beside him. He just stared straight up. "This is good, this is very good. It's better than dying of old age, and it's better than being bitten to death by hunters. I can see the lights growing from my body. They are sprouting and becoming more and more beautiful..."

"Do you know? You must not know that according to legend, kobolds used to be like this too, living in places where they could see light."

Old Jin Ya didn't blink for a long time.

The old dog-headed man seemed to have decided that he was about to leave this world.

"Look at these beautiful little creatures! They're growing in circles, trying so hard to let me see the light." Old Gold Teeth finally took a moment to glance to the side. "It's worth it for me to eat those unpalatable things, especially those small, hard-to-find pointy mushrooms."

"How much longer can you last?"

Ruger had to interrupt the old dog-headed man.

Old Gold Teeth didn't seem to be in a hurry at all, and his calmness made him look even less like a dog-headed man than when he told those bizarre stories.

"I told you not to let Aisijin disturb you. They just grew a little faster. I still have a long time to live! At least, I have to go hungry dozens of times, maybe hundreds of times." Old Gold Teeth looked at the threads of light and said without blinking.

Although the old dog-headed man said so, Aisijin was not a fool. She judged based on details such as the old dog-headed man not eating, and finally decided to go find Ruger.

If we calculate based on the fact that a normal dog-headed man can last a long time after eating one meal, Old Gold Teeth can still live for a long time, provided that he is telling the truth and his judgment is accurate.

"I believe you," Luger said. "I have found a way to save you. In order to ensure success, we need to make some preparations. Let's prepare according to the time you said."

After he finished speaking, he gave Aisijin some instructions and turned to leave.

After he took a few steps, he could still hear Old Gold Teeth whispering questions to the ogre girl behind him.

All the way back to your own large three-way bedroom.

Leaving here to visit Old Gold Tooth can also be said to be part of the experiment. During the time he was away, the space door was still open on the wall of the cave.

The plan to take Aisijin to visit this strange space was interrupted by Old Jin Ya's incident and did not go ahead.

So, he planned to go in by himself.

Of course not now. He took out a book, sat aside and started reading it.

He wanted to see how long this door could stand without any human intervention and no one entering or leaving.

The appearance of this strange dragon disrupted his plans and also disrupted the order in which he learned spells.

Spells need to be re-selected.

Since Old Gold Tooth can still hold on, there is no need to waste the Spiritual Heart Potion. He only has one bottle left of this potion that can help people improve their comprehension abilities.

The pages of the book kept turning in his hands.

The spell in this book was one that was not originally planned. It was definitely at the bottom of the list of spells he most wanted to learn, but now he had to work hard to learn it as soon as possible.

Zero-ring spell, light body spell.

His current reading strategy is to skim through the book first to get a general understanding, and then start studying it carefully from the first page.

Just as he turned to the last page of the book for the first time, the space door in front of him flickered several times and disappeared completely with a swish.

He glanced up and continued reading.

This spell didn't look too difficult, but it wouldn't be as smooth as the Magic Skin spell. Remember, the Magic Skin spell required a smooth brain and half a bottle of Spirit Heart Potion. But there was no need to overthink it; just learn it slowly. If Old Gold Teeth was lying, I'd definitely have Aisijin come to him in a couple of days to confess.

This old dog-headed man is quite smart and knows how to judge the situation.

Ruger had a lot of thoughts from what he saw and heard during his last outing, such as thinking more about the application of spells, different methods, different occasions, and even not using them on the target. For example, Baont used the magic of phantom sound to influence the judgment of two targets at the same time and send away the guy he hated. Although it was later proved that it was difficult for the annoying guy to leave on his own, that guy had probably become the strong man's new loot contributor.

Ruger roughly calculated that even if there were conflicts with the lizardmen along the way, the number of spells he cast while traveling with the power of the bull was far greater than that in combat.

The use of magic in life can also be said to be an important part of magic training and the development of application methods.

He raised his hand and gave himself a spiritual boiling point. This was something he had recently realized was a powerful tool for reading and staying up late, and the effect was much better than he had imagined.

In the inheritance scroll, there is only a simple sentence mentioning that after casting the spell, the mental power can be temporarily more active and kept awake. There is also a comment at the end that the spell is not very useful overall. Ruger believes that this statement is not very useful is unfair. Making people more alert and easier to concentrate may indeed be a small thing, but accumulated over several years or decades, the improvement in learning efficiency will be enormous.

He even gave himself the strength of a bull. Who says reading won't cause back pain? Good physical endurance is also very powerful, as it allows you to read without feeling tired. The increase in strength will also make it less likely for your reading posture to change, reducing the accumulation of fatigue on another level. Anyway, he is already a second-level wizard apprentice, with more mental strength, so he is not afraid of the consumption of this mental strength while hiding in the cave.

Time always flies by quickly when you are concentrating.

Five days passed.

He stood up and stretched, his small body making bursts of crisp sounds.

After stretching, he started warming up again, then jumped into a squat position, and the effect was surprisingly good.

With a thud, he hit the top of the cave.

The art of lightness has been mastered.

Nineteen-node spell models are floating in the spiritual space.

Speaking of which, he has never cast spells on others. Of course, I'm not talking about the Freeze Ray, but spells like Light Body and Bull Strength. He can use them on Aisijin and others. The effect of the spell on them may be weakened, depending on whether they are compatible with the spell. Spells like Stinky Skin and Demon Skin can only be cast on oneself.

After he had a full meal, he planned to start decorating the abyss bedroom space.

The illusory space door appeared again. These days, during his breaks from reading, he practiced opening the door. Although the effect of the practice was not great, he still did not give up. At least now he no longer had to lean against the cave wall to trick himself into opening the door.

What he imagined, or rather the effect he wanted, was that he could open a door at will and escape in easily.

He took a slow step, first putting one foot in and shaking it.

This was his second time coming in, but it still felt amazing. He finally stepped through the door and onto the ground he had paved. In the distance, a dark red crack was flickering, and on the other side were several large stones pieced together, which could be considered a dining table or a large bed.

He started to work and became busy.

With the help of magic, a large pool made of stones and frozen soil was quickly built to a barely usable level.

He stood by the pool, holding his waist with satisfaction and watching.

Since Old Gold Teeth is already seriously injured and on the verge of death, we can use this pool to give him a second life. While saving the old dog-headed man, it can also be regarded as letting him make some contribution. To bathe in the blood of this strange dragon, there must be an experimental subject, so let Old Gold Teeth pave the way for them.

Wait until Old Gold Teeth succeeds and observe for a while until everything is normal, then consider letting Ai Sijin and the others make the contact.

I can also let Baldy cut in line and try again to see what the effect will be, he thought, pinching his waist.
