Chapter 71 Level 7 Mandela Vine (3336)

Chapter 71 Level 7 Mandela Vine (3336)

One week later, in Ashgra City.

  Lord Ashgra, led the residents of the city and his tribe, all gathered in front of the villa where Locke and Gabi lived temporarily, and wanted to thank them.

   Lord Ashgra saluted Gabi as he left the house and said: "Dear wizards, on behalf of the residents of the whole city, we come here to thank you."

   "This week, there has been no new appearance. The people who got sick, and the civilians who got sick in the past, gradually began to recover."

 "It was as if everyone woke up after experiencing a nightmare and found that it was just a dream. Ashgra City has come to life."

  加比微微点头,然后道:「好的……但洛克学长,现在不想要被人打扰……你们请回去吧。」

  「洛克学长,说你们的心意他领了。」
< br/>  Lord Ashgra hesitated to speak. He looked at the villa and saw that Locke did not come out, so he reluctantly gave up. He turned around and persuaded those with mild symptoms who had initially recovered from the illness not to disturb the wizards in Lilith's cabin.

  A little girl holding a bouquet of flowers suddenly shouted to the villa where Locke was staying temporarily: "Thank you, Lord Wizard, may the God of Light bless you forever."

  She ran all the way to Lord Ashgra, and was stopped by Lord Ashgra before she stopped. Then she placed a bouquet of flowers on the ground.

Locke saw this scene from the window of the villa. He waved to the little girl through the window as a greeting.

 The little girl giggled.

 It's not that Locke is really busy and doesn't have time to meet these civilians, but it's not necessary, and there's a very serious problem.

I have just become a first-class wizard apprentice, and my whole body is facing the outside all the time, releasing magical pressure. If I come into contact with those mortals, if I am not lucky, maybe a few mortals with hidden heart diseases will die.

 The little girl shouted to the villa: "Thank you, Mr. Wizard Augustine."

 The common people of Ashgra also thanked him. "Thank you, Master Wizard Augustine."

"At the critical moment, we still have to rely on the wizards. The monks in the city are of no use at all."

"You can't blame the monks. After all, the doctors in the city are also helpless against the plague. But Lord Augustine, within a few days of coming to us, all our illnesses were cured." "

                                                                                                           In the afternoon, in the reception room of the villa where he was temporarily staying, Locke finally sorted out the currently chaotic mana, adjusted the exploding mana, and the mana became orderly again.

 This is also the reason why he stayed in Ashgra city for a week.

 In addition to the decrease in mana stability caused by the scarlet echo potion, other mana that has exploded due to promotion have been re-controlled by himself.

Locke placed his palm in the amethyst matrix he brought this time, and the number [220] was displayed on it.

 Locke couldn't help but sigh. Teacher Sophia was indeed a level one potion master. The scarlet echo potion she made by herself actually increased her mana by a full 25 points.

  Not all scarlet echo potions are of such good quality. The scarlet echo potions refined by first-class wizard apprentices, that is, the assistants of potion masters, may only have about half the potency of what they take themselves.

 High-quality scarlet echo potion naturally brings a high enough chance of advancement.

 At the same time, Locke looked at his right hand and saw that only one of the three Mandela vines in his right hand was left.

That's because, while I was organizing my mana this week, I simply synthesized my three level 6 mandrake vines into one level 7 mandrake vine.

 And I was lucky. This time, a special synthetic formula appeared - [Evil Omen Level 7 Mandela Vine, a special mutant variety among Mandela Vine. It uses enemy thoughts as a supplement and can sense subtle hostility within a hundred meters. It has the special ability to follow hostility, automatically lock the target, and attack, while retaining all the abilities of the invisible Mandela Vine. 】

  【In addition, the all-round performance of the Ominous Mandela Vine is doubled compared to the Invisible Mandela Vine. 】

  【In the natural environment, the probability of mutation of this kind of Mandela vine is only one in 10,000. 】

  To synthesize level 7 synthesis items, Horadric synthesizes the Rubik's Cube, which takes 3 days to synthesize.

 This made it more difficult for Locke to test the synthesis formula.

 But fortunately, compared to becoming a first-class wizard apprentice, whose lifespan is almost doubled and has a lifespan of at least 200 years, this increase in synthesis time is insignificant.

 Locke looked at the ominous Mandela vine on his right hand. The appearance of the level 7 Mandela vine had changed a lot. First, the thickness and size of all the leaves of the vine had increased a lot. Each leaf seemed to be the size of a baby's palm.

  Many dark purple lines appeared on the surface of the leaves and vines.

Different from the lavender lines on the surface of the invisible mandrake vines, these dark purple lines on the level 7 mandrake vines are so purple that they are almost turning black.

  The main body of the vine is thicker.

 The number of poison berries represented by Mandela Vine has also increased several times. With this more powerful magic plant, using poison berries to eject, the number of poison berries fired at one time will increase from the original five to more than twenty.

 During this week, Locke also used the complex wild magic plants in the Ashgra Mountains to reconfigure the supporting spell poison of the [Poison Berry Ejection] spell.

  Originally, the magic toxin used in poison berry ejection was a mixture of poison dart frogs, castor beans and blue-ringed octopus, but that was only a magic poison used by second-class wizard apprentices.

Locke is now a first-class wizard apprentice. He temporarily used the fungi of the Amorphophallus rottena, the Belladonna of Laughter obtained from the Ashgra Mountains, and the gray mushroom mixture to create the toxins for the new [Poisonberry Ejection] spell model.

 Furthermore, using a synthetic Rubik's Cube, this mixed toxin specifically targeting nerves has been upgraded to level 7.

 The first-class wizard apprentice and the level 7 mandrake vine can withstand more powerful spell poisons, so Locke temporarily upgraded the spell poison he used.

 Although this temporarily upgraded toxin was only prepared by Locke who learned some knowledge about pharmacy from Sophia Witch, it was not so reliable and did not bring out the best effect of the three original toxins.

But firstly, the mycotoxin of the rotten soil konjac itself is of a very high level. Secondly, Locke synthesized this mixed magic poison to level 7 and strengthened it several times out of thin air. As a result, this magic poison is barely decent among first-class wizard apprentices.

 Locke named this magical poison he prepared himself Laughing Poison.

 This kind of magical poison will attack the enemy's nerves, causing the enemy's muscles to be unable to stretch and contract normally, causing the enemy to laugh all over and unable to move normally. If the situation is serious, the enemy may even be unable to breathe due to excessive muscle contraction and laughter, and will suffocate to death.

 In any case, if this kind of magical poison is applied to an ordinary second-class wizard apprentice, it is likely to have this effect.

Locke looked at the level 7 mandrake vines on his right hand and said: "It's almost integrated. When I return to Lilith's cabin, I will systematically upgrade the spell toxins and learn a higher-level advanced magic model of poison berry ejection, so that I can maximize the magic power of the first-class wizard apprentice."

   "After I go back, I can finish learning the trick models of the Vine Frenzy series directly."

   "After I go back, I will also sign a new contract with Lilith's House." Locke thought. "The relationship between the first-class wizard apprentice and the academy is more complicated, so the academy will sign more contracts with me."

"Similarly, the academy also has a lot of benefits that are exclusive to first-class wizard apprentices. Independent laboratories, independent positions, and academy rewards for becoming a first-class wizard apprentice within two years, etc..."

"It can be said that only by becoming a first-class wizard apprentice can one truly become the backbone of the academy." Locke calmed down. "After we return, we can immediately sell the wireweed to Li Jin's Secret Whisper."

 "I am now a first-class wizard apprentice, so I no longer need to use the teacher's name to publish works."

 "Even if it attracts the attention of some people, I have enough strength to protect myself, and the first-class wizard apprentice can try to obtain a breeder certificate and become an independent breeder."

Locke muttered in a low voice: "Independent genius breeders have invented some new magic plants at the apprentice level. Although they are still outstanding, they will no longer attract special prying eyes." They can all be sold to Li Jin’s Secret Whisper. It’s the eliminated magic plant anyway.”

 Locke walked out of the room and called Gabi. He said to Gabi, “Sister, I’m going back to the academy.”

 “Do you want to come with me?”

  Gabby hesitated, thinking that she was alone in the Ashgra Mountains and had nothing to do. The reason why she stayed here before was just to take the opportunity to get in touch with Locke, who had become a first-class wizard apprentice at such a young age.

 Hence, she said: "Of course, okay. Senior Locke."

  …

  After bidding farewell to the mortals in Ashgra City who thanked them, Locke and Gabi got into the carriages hired by each of them and returned to the direction of Lilith's cabin.

 After about two days, the two of them left the remote mountainous area and entered the flat seaside plain in the southeast corner.

 After passing through a mortal town, Waterwheel Town, Locke sat in a carriage pulled by three centaur coachmen. He looked at his right hand and saw the ominous Mandela vine wrapped around his right hand. The vine showed black and purple lines and turned into a deep red.

  Red to black.

 That is... an early warning.

It is the Omen Mandela Vine. As a special superpower of a rare magic plant, it can sense hostility within a hundred meters and feed on hostility.

 Locke frowned and looked outside the carriage indifferently. He saw a deserted country road in front of him, and there seemed to be nothing unusual about it.

 Had it not been for the prompt from the level 7 Mandela vine, Locke would not have reacted for a moment.

  "Someone has serious hostility towards me?" Locke quickly thought about whether he had offended anyone in Lilith's cabin. "I should have no enemies in Lilith's cabin."

   "That stupid wizard family is just cricketing me behind my back, because I became a breeder's assistant and have been laughed at behind my back for the past year, but it is impossible for them to have such a big hatred against me."

“Forget it, no matter who it is, just kill them. I’ve been so careful, and if there are still people targeting me, I’ll kill them all.”
