Wizards pursue the truth

Chapter 71 [71] The Black Widow's Love: The Wizard's Tavern

The black and gray feathers, no longer with the rigid feel of a metal sculpture, are now soft and clinging to the wings and body, full of streamlined shape.

His pupils changed from blood red to deep gray, as if a gray aura flowed within them, containing some special abilities.

Wang Ya sensed extraordinary fluctuations in the particle energy, and these fluctuations were no small matter.

His size hadn't changed much. He stretched out his right hand, and Harak landed steadily on his arm, rubbing his little head against Wang Ya's fingers.

The claws haven't changed much either, except that they've been covered with a layer of gray markings, giving them a flowing appearance, and their sharpness and hardness have increased to a higher level.

Wang Ya's pupils shimmered with a faint blue light as he carefully observed Harak's extraordinary characteristics, a slight change in his expression on his face.

Just as the evaluation said, Harak might truly be considered a perfect being among lower-level supernatural beings.

[Supernatural Physique (Low Level): Biological energy, stamina, speed, strength, and recovery ability are relatively balanced, reaching the pinnacle of low-level supernatural beings.]

It can be said that it perfectly incorporates the extraordinary characteristics of the past, such as super strength and recovery.

[Supernatural Resistance (Low): Combining the properties of steel skin with the energy magic resistance gained after the Thorn Heart mutation, granting stronger supernatural resistance. Energy magic below level sixteen will completely negate the damage.]

[Shadow Creature: It can activate the power of its bloodline, causing gray spots to proliferate on its feathers and secrete shadow fluctuations to conceal its aura. It cannot be detected by wizards with a mental strength below 18 points, and its speed is greatly enhanced at night.]

【Eye of Death: Activates the power of one's bloodline, affecting the enemy's visual senses through shadow fluctuations, partially obscuring their mental perception, causing dizziness, and even mental shock. It can interrupt the casting of witchcraft.】

Wang Ya admitted that there was an element of gambling involved; the success rate was 70%, not 100%.

Fortunately, Harak successfully transformed and gained even greater power.

Even when facing ordinary mid-level superhuman creatures, Harak could put up a fight and wouldn't necessarily lose.

It's a bit of a shame that during the evolution process, the ability to withstand seawater pressure and fight in water was probably eliminated.

And the ability to transform scales into metal for defense against physical attacks.

It's impossible to consider everything in every aspect, just like taking a sip or eating a bite.

Wang Ya was already quite satisfied. He was now truly confident that he could seriously injure or even kill a level two wizard apprentice.

As long as you don't know his abilities and have no way to save your life.

"What species should I call you? It's neither a shadow raven nor a black-feathered raven. I need to give you a new name." Wang Ya fell into thought; he really wasn't good at naming things.

Finally, he made his decision, smiling as he said, "How about Shadowwing Dark Raven, little guy? I think this name suits you very well."

After the transformation, Harak's intelligence seemed to have improved further, and he was able to understand the basic meaning of Wang Ya's words.

However, judging whether a name is good or bad is still too difficult for it; its gray pupils look at its owner with a puzzled expression.

"It seems you like this name very much." Wang Ya stroked Harak's feathers, gently shook his shoulders to release it, and turned to walk out of the laboratory.

Next, we should consider advancing to the first-level wizard apprentice level and the target quests.

Wang Ya's eyes calmed down. There were still about two months left in the three-month deadline. Before the target task was issued, he was confident that he could complete the meditation sketching of two wizard runes, advance to the first level wizard apprentice level, and have a bottle of calming potion as an aid.

In that case, it would be wise to first acquire those two intermediate-level sorcery techniques and improve one's strength as soon as possible.

The study on Harak's bloodline inheritance can only be conducted after the target tasks are completed.

His daily studies in the Extraordinary Course provided him with sufficient knowledge to complete his research on intermediate witchcraft.

Pharmacy studies can be put on hold. A sense of helplessness appeared on Wang Ya's face. It had been a month, and she hadn't seen any of the teaching staff.

The evening glow cast long shadows on the buildings in the dark place, covering a corner of the commercial district, and the number of wizards coming and going was much smaller.

The sign, obscured by shadows, reads "Night Night Night".

The colored light tubes at the edge shone on Wang Yana's fair cheeks, and his gaze fell on the structure of the wizard tavern.

The use of colorful light tubes as decoration is very eye-catching and exudes a warm, languid atmosphere.

"Welcome, guests!" The counter resembled a bar from my previous life, with various alluring liquids of different colors shimmering on the cabinets, radiating an extraordinary aura.

The bartender was mixing special drinks at the bar. The wizard waiter greeted Wang Ya as he entered, then turned and walked into the inner room, carrying a pitch-black drink with a frog's leg resting on the rim of the glass.

A hint of interest appeared on Wang Ya's face. A display board made of fluorescent tubes next to the bar listed today's recommendations: 'Blue Heart of the Gaze,' 'Crystal Love,' and 'Gaze from the Cape of Storms.'

It was mostly wizarding drinks. There were many small tables for single people in the hall, with some people sitting there. The smaller tables for multiple people were empty, with people quietly drinking the wizarding drinks, seemingly appreciating them.

The light was dim, and only the figures could be vaguely seen, while the faces were very blurry, creating an atmosphere that was very mysterious, like that of a wizard.

Wang Ya walked inside and found many private rooms, all isolated by witch arrays to prevent any leakage of aura or conversation. The ambient lighting inside could also be changed using the witch array's central control.

Room 234.

After the knock, Mona opened the door. Under the warm light, her rosy cheeks looked just like a luscious, ripe apple.

"Wang Ya, you little rascal, you've finally arrived!" Gray's loud voice rang out in the room.

Mas sat in the corner of the sofa, holding a glass of pure green liquid, drinking it with a perverted look on his face, or rather, touching it with the tip of his tongue and savoring it carefully.

The windows were open, the wind chimes swayed gently, and the fragrant flowers and plants placed there swayed softly as they interacted with the cold wind from outside, following the circulation of the magic array.

Wang Ya was sitting by the window, his black hair gently tossed by the wind, and in front of him was a colorful liquid with a huge, long-haired spider perched on the rim of the glass, its rear end facing him.

Gray chuckled and said, "This is 'Black Widow's Love,' which I specially ordered for you. It's said to slightly boost your mental strength after drinking it, but it's very expensive."

"It seems you've successfully completed your wizarding mission and reaped quite a reward." Wang Ya picked up his drink, took a sip without changing his expression, and found it bitter with a slightly salty aftertaste.

"Of course! You have no idea what kind of opponent Mas and I encountered. Even a formal wizard would be terrified. With our heroic fearlessness, we successfully killed him!" Gray recounted many events in his familiar, boisterous tone.

This was the first time the group had met in a month. Wang Ya briefly talked about his research on Harak and biological breeding.

The four of them now had a general understanding of each other's current situation.

Gray downed several mouthfuls of wizard's wine, clearly intoxicated, and said with a flushed face, "Wang Ya, you have absolutely no idea what the Secret Realm Competition means for us freshmen. It's not just the surface; there's something much deeper."
