Don't disturb the sorcerer's scientific research

Developed by the legendary wizard Elvin about two hundred years ago, it was originally intended to replace the teleportation array.

However, due to the difficulty and high cost, ordinary spellcasters are basically unable to learn it, and it is not cost-effective for large organizations to build teleportation arrays. Mages who can learn this can also learn to teleport directly without anchor points.

This awkward situation makes the Teleport Anchor spell extremely unpopular.

It's like bringing steam car technology to its peak, but the internal combustion engine has already appeared.

The teleportation anchor spell can now only be found in museums or on magic props from two hundred years ago.

Before being teleported into the laboratory, Jia Xiu had already prepared himself mentally for Bubu to die.

Although I don't know what the vampire mark is, the magic disorder sounds very serious.

However, the moment he appeared in the laboratory.

There is peace before my eyes.

Dean Nico was trying to make Bubu happy with his colorfully dyed hair and beard.

When seeing Dean Nick's appearance, Jia Xiu even had a vision of the characteristic activity of his hometown - lion dancing.

Or a colorful lion.

"No, what's going on?"

"Boss, you're here." Bubu greeted happily.

"Oh, it's Jia Xiu."

Dean Nico stood up and cut off his newly grown "Shamatte" hair.

"According to my deduction, Bubu must have been marked by a very powerful vampire."

"By what?"

Then, Dean Nico explained his complete reasoning process to Jia Xiu.

First, he discovered that Bubu was shrouded in a strange magical power, which made it unable to output magic power stably.

Then, by affecting Bubu's spellcasting process, its magic becomes even more chaotic.

When he reached his limit, he deliberately lost some magic power to Bubu, causing him to be about to break through the influence of the magic.

At this time, the magic power entered the second stage.

“That’s the inscription.”

Dean Nico pointed at the red and black inscription that appeared on Bubu's chest.

"Judging from its form, it should be from the blood clan, also known as vampires. This is also why when Bubu first learned to use a certain magic, the effect was uncontrollable."

Jia Xiu leaned in to observe the inscription closely.

Unfortunately, due to insufficient attributes, the Rune Eye cannot fully analyze this inscription and cannot understand it.

"Then what is this inscription for?"

Jia Xiu asked, a powerful vampire marked Bubu, he must have some purpose.

It can't be just for fun.

Dean Nico stroked his beard, which had returned to its original color. "Generally speaking, vampires mark targets in order to transform them into spawns. If a vampire really wants to transform a target into one of their own, but feels the target is currently too weak, they'll mark them. Directly transforming them into a spawn will severely reduce their growth rate and upper limit. At the same time, marking also imposes restrictions to prevent the target from becoming too powerful."

Jia Xiu understood, "To put it simply, there's a vampire who wants to suck Bubu's blood."

"That's it."

"Is that vampire a fool? Bubu, Bubu, it's already undead, how can it become a vampire spawn? It has no blood in its body now!"

Jia Xiu couldn't understand the vampire's train of thought.

"Um……"

Dean Nico paced back and forth in the laboratory.

"It's indeed very suspicious..."

Everyone watched the dean walking back and forth in circles for five minutes, and they were almost dizzy.

"Hey! I figured it out!"

Dean Nico whispered mysteriously.

Everyone came over curiously.

"I think……"

"What do you think?"

"It must be because that vampire forgot!"

"..."

Jia Xiu was silent. He felt that Aurelius was not the only weird person he had met today.

Or maybe all legendary wizards are weirdos. They have learned so much magic that they must be crazy.

"I'm serious," Dean Nico explained, noting everyone's disappointment with the answer. "Vampires are undead creatures. Once they're undead, their sense of time becomes seriously distorted, even more so than those pointy-eared creatures."

The pointed ears in Dean Nico's mouth refer to elves.

Dwarves usually call elves "pointed ears", "long ears", "bean sprouts", "beardless"...

Anyway, it can't be an elf.

Using "beardless" as a derogatory term is something only dwarves would do.

Useless dwarven social trivia.

Don't shave in front of a dwarf; that's like putting pineapple on your pizza in front of an Italian.

Dean Nico continued, "Therefore, many vampires would crawl into coffins and lie there for a hundred or eighty years, or even several hundred years. When they emerge for unknown reasons, they have long forgotten what they were doing before. So until Bubu became undead, the vampire didn't appear."

"Wow."

Jia Xiu expressed surprise.

The impression of vampires was shattered.

I originally thought that they were a group of elegant, powerful, noble, sentimental creatures who loved to fall in love.

After hearing what the dean said, I realized that they were all suffering from Alzheimer's disease.

No, none of the documents about vampires that he read in the library mentioned that vampires were like this.

"But," Jia Xiu thought of another problem, "He forgot about it. How can he remove this inscription? Bubu can't always carry it with him. Will Bubu be much more powerful after the inscription is removed?"

"Of course. To remove the inscription, either the vampire has to remove it on their own initiative, or the vampire who cast the inscription must be killed directly."

Jia Xiu was just about to ask how to find the vampire.

Dean Nico said directly, "Don't panic, I will give you a prophecy."

After saying that, he produced a crystal ball of prediction.

He touched the ball with his hands and muttered to himself.

Jia Xiu has no ability to predict the future, and he can't understand the dean's actions at all.

After a few seconds, the crystal ball burst into brilliant light, which lasted for a long time.

"call……"

Dean Nico let out a long sigh, his hands behind his back, looking like a master.

"How about it, Dean, have you figured it out?"

Margaret was very curious why Jia Xiu called the prophecy spell "calculation".

"After all my efforts..."

"An effort?"

"Nothing was predicted."

Jia Xiu swore that if it weren't for the good virtue of respecting the elderly and loving the young, and if it weren't for the fact that he really couldn't beat someone, he would really want to hit someone now.

"But it's not like there's no useful information at all. If the prediction fails, it's very likely that the vampire has escaped to another dimension."

"So you can't find it?"

"Not necessarily. You can ask other vampires. Maybe someone recognizes this inscription. As for where to ask..."

"Shadow Alley."

Margaret continued.

"The largest black market in Larven."

Chapter 87 The Black Market is Different from What Jia Xiu Imagined

"Are there any dress requirements for going to Shadow Alley?"

On the eve of setting off for Shadow Alley, Jia Xiu asked the guide for this trip, Mentor Margaret.

Margaret came to act as a guide because she was indeed familiar with the place.

Due to her research direction, she needs to buy sub-dragons that master different dragon spells, and the black market is more efficient than pet shops in meeting this need.

"No, there's no dress code, no code words, and no doors that appear after you knock on bricks."

Margaret no longer wanted to answer Jia Xiu's questions.

"Where did you hear that the black market has so many messed-up rules? Is it just the boasting of a drunk adventurer in a tavern, or a bard's joke?"

"more or less."

Game novels and movies should be similar to the work of a bard.

"Don't believe it. Half a sentence out of ten of those people's sentences is really a lot."

Bard, a very special profession.

Some of them are serious professionals who bring various benefits to the team through music and magic, and they are also not hesitant when they need to take up weapons to fight.

As for the other part, what can I say?
