Academic Gathering with Lich Colleagues

Chapter 141 The Bad Omen of Breaking Free

"The ominous giant?" This image that once made him feel pain and fear was engraved in Lyle's mind, and at this time, he looked at the aberration and it turned out to be his appearance.

Absurdity, fear, and a sense of predestined fate settled in his mind into inescapable despair, which made Lyle a little breathless.

"It's okay, plague doctor, he's just your creation." The scholar patted Lyle's shoulder, using his body to block the deformed body's empty vision, "I've confirmed just now that the highly modified deformed body is not Existence intelligence, some, is just the instinct of basic creatures. Its gaze is just a normal response to external stimuli. It just succumbs to your creation."

Lyle calmed down, and with the encouragement of the scholar, he looked at the mutant with terrifying eyes again.It was the same as the ominous giant in memory, except that it was only the size of a basketball, and its rickety body was like a thin monkey, but the 'faceless smile' was perfectly preserved.

"Why does my aberration look like this?"

The scholar's palm patted the wrist of the other hand, "Then you need to find the reason yourself, epidemic doctor, what were you thinking when you released the advanced transformation?"

Lyle began to explore his memory, "At that time, I was constructing the model of Nia's magic net. It seemed... that I had some other ideas in my mind. I... wanted to create a truly terrifying creation?" There was uncertainty in the voice , with a suspicious tone of anxiety, Lyle fell into self-denial.

The scholar paused for a second.

"You did a great job, plague doctor, you created a very good aberration. Using your own fear as inspiration, this is a very good and thoughtful idea. I believe that Anoin will definitely be attracted by your work, we are very happy Wiener will be rescued soon."

"Oh, thank you, teacher, Wiener will be free soon."

The giant dragon came over to share the joy, "Plague doctor, my student, your remedial course is also over. I am very happy to tell you that your modified creation grade has been changed to perfect. In fact, if there is someone beyond Perfect modifier, I'll definitely be using it. Fantastic, a necromancer apprentice with access to advanced transformations. I'm looking forward to your test results."

"Exam results?"

The dragon rubbed his palms together and nodded. "The final exam for your apprentice apprentices is also the beginning of your formal becoming a spiritual master. The exam time is just a few days later, and the place is in the Bone Grove."

At the end of the summer vacation that I never reviewed, on the first day of school, the teacher notified the final exam a few days later.That sense of absurd fear, Lyle felt.It's like at the end of a college semester, the teacher gives you a week to review, but you can't even remember the name of the class.

"But, teacher, I only have four classes, and I usually spend a lot of time on extracurricular activities (referring to working as a sheriff in Cassandell), shouldn't you give me a few extra classes first Are you catching up with the course progress?"

The dragon smiled gently.

"Although your attendance is the lowest among all the students, Epidemic Doctor, your grades in class can be called excellent. The so-called supplementary tutoring is meaningless to top students. Other students who are never absent can't even meet your grades." Level, wouldn't it be unfair if I gave you a separate treatment?"

Can top students do whatever they want?Can honor students skip classes?Mr. Julong, your thinking is wrong. Every student should be treated equally, and all should... I don't want to take the exam.

In the end, Lyle did not convince the dragon, but got the expectation of Mr. Dragon.

Depressed, Lyle took Nia and the deformed body held hostage by her, and followed Mr. Scholar to leave the Tower of Bones.

The deformed body caught by Nia's tentacles is very peaceful, like a doll, except for the movement of turning its head.Nia doesn't have the same fear of deformities as Lyle. After all, she created it by herself, and she has well preserved her psychological advantages as a creator.

Is it really just me being overly self-aware?

Lyle stared at the deformed body in Nia's hand, and this long stare aroused Nia's reaction.She handed over the toy in her hand.

"Gulu, do you want a hug? A soft little thing."

Nia's voice and intelligence seem to have grown a bit, and she is now able to speak full sentences.

"No, thank you." Lyle tilted his head, that weird smile was close at hand, and Lyle felt that in the next second, malice would flow out of the hollow on the white bone surface.

Lyle noticed something unusual.The deformed body, in his tentacles, hangs down with two unusually long tentacles, like the long and narrow arms of a squid, like the gorgeous tail feathers of a bird, hanging behind him.

"What is that, Nia?" Lyall pointed to the longer tentacles. There is no similar part on the body of the ominous giant. On his body, all the tentacles are arranged in an orderly manner according to a strange sense of order. There will never be two extra.

Nia fiddled with the two extra tentacles, and the aberrant resisted a little, but the resistance was ineffective.

"Arianna taught me how to knit a bow, but it failed because the tentacles were too slippery to tie."

Were those two tentacles originally intended for gift wrapping?Lyle looked at the deformed body that was struggling in vain, and suddenly felt that it was a bit pitiful, as a low-intelligence creature that was created and used as a bargaining chip.

. . . . . . .

The gate of Anoin's underground reservoir has been completely replaced, but it is not the barnacle group that Mr. Dragon expected, but a large piece of soaked wooden board with dark green seaweed group and some caught in the gaps of the board. A sea fish that has completely dehydrated and rolled its eyes.This is a part of the shipwreck at the bottom of the sea. When Mr. Scholar dismantled it into sawdust filled with salt water, Lyle finally confirmed its real body.

"Dirty bedbugs! Despicable and damned bones! Anoin's new door, the new door that Anoin managed to fish out, was broken by a big bedbug again!"

Facing the mud splashed from the mouth of the furious dwarf Arnoin, Mr. Scholar just activated a mana shield.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Arnold, the only reason for this decision is that I didn't find your doorbell. We don't have any malicious intentions. In fact, we are here to make a deal with you, about the mermaid Wiener."

With Nia appearing in Anoin's sight, his small yellow eyes narrowed into slits, and his exaggerated smile showed a mouthful of rotten teeth.

"Arnold's beauty is coming back, of course, I am happy to trade."

Anoin stretched out his hand towards Nia.

"Our bargaining chip is not this, but another flesh and blood deformity in her hands."

"Another, no one can change Anoin's request, no one," Anoin's filthy eyes caught a glimpse of the aberration, and they met those empty eyes.Surprise, yes, you see the gleam of surprise in those eyes that seem to be covered in a thousand layers of filth, and then that surprise becomes panic, a shuddering convulsion.A Nuoyin held his face in his black palms, and between his fingers, the sight of those eyes became strange.His voice was wailing, and there was urgency in his words.

"Baby! Baby! Arnold wants this treasure! Does Arnold really want it? Yes! Arnold wants to find a treasure! Arnold must get that treasure."

When he lowered his hands from his face, it was as if he had changed his face. His eyeballs were sunken in their sockets, with black eye circles from long sleepless nights. His skin was as rough as dry old tree bark. There is nothing in the eye but the aberration.His eyeballs flicked irregularly as if they were twitching, and his voice was both roaring and pleading.

"Give me baby! Give it to me!"

"Give me the mermaid first."

"Okay! Just give me baby! Anything is fine." Arnold broke his cane in half and threw it into the water.That was the beginning. There was a riot in the pool behind him, as if ten thousand sea beasts were fighting in it. The supporting stone pillars cracked in the vibration, as if they would collapse at any time.

A water arrow shot out of the water, it was Weiner.Her appearance didn't change much, except that her face was slightly pale.The leech on the back of the neck was gone, after Mr. Scholar made sure there was no problem.Nia handed the deformity to Anoin who was kneeling on the ground, and Lyle left the gradually crumbling platform with Weiner in his arms.

At the moment before Arnoin disappeared from his sight, Lyle saw it.

In the hands of Anoin, who was like a puppet, the deformed body, which was originally facing away from him, rotated its head 180 degrees, and the hole in the bone mask coincided with Lyle's line of sight for the last time.

Still that playful smile.
