Chapter 185 Friendship from the Wizard

"It's been more than two hours. The wizard's research may end at any time. You should leave quickly. If you don't get the knowledge you want, you can come back next time. Don't you have another chance?"

"En." Li Hyuk nodded, quickly put down the book in his hand, and followed Geller to the door very cooperatively.

In fact, in more than two hours of reading, he has obtained most of the knowledge he wanted.

For example, the most important thing is the type of parasite, the effect of resisting the curse, and the side effects of implanting the body.

To sum up, parasites are all kinds of strange things, and the types and effects that can resist the curse are different.

Some can resist all curses, but the effect is low.Some are only resistant to certain types of curses, and the effect is so significant that they can almost achieve immunity.

There are also parasites that have the ability to grow, and gradually increase their resistance as they continue to resist the curse.The problem is that there is almost no resistance at the beginning, and it is easy for the wizard apprentice as the host to die tragically under a powerful curse.

After screening the contents of the book, Li He chose three kinds of parasites as candidates for his own implantation and transformation.

The first type, iron nematodes.This is a slender worm similar to an earthworm but with a pitch-black body. It parasitizes in the muscles of the human body. After implantation, it can enhance the physical strength of the host, and has a good resistance to most of the curses that directly affect the body.The disadvantage is that it is less effective for spiritual curses such as earworms.In addition, iron nematodes can cause human infection, keep the host in a low-grade fever, and reduce a small amount of perception and response capabilities.

The second type, the ghost fly.This is a soybean-sized, dark gray fly that lives in the gaps between internal organs.After implantation, it can enhance the spiritual power of the host. Its effect is just the opposite of that of the iron nematode, and it has a good resistance to most spiritual curses like earworms.The disadvantage is that it is less effective for curses that directly affect the body.In addition, a ghost fly individual has two sets of reproductive systems, male and female, which can carry out self-fertilization and reproduction, and the reproduction speed is very fast.This caused the host to regularly clean up the ghost flies in the body and limit the number within a certain range, otherwise a large number of ghost flies would destroy the internal environment and seriously injure the host.

The third type is the ghost firefly.This is a very special parasite, similar to ordinary fireflies, but only the size of a small grain of rice, parasitic in the blood of the human body, and absorbs the nutrients it needs from the blood.After this parasite is implanted, it can enhance the perception of the host, and has good resistance to almost all curses, whether it is a spiritual curse or a curse that directly affects the body.The side effects are simply because absorbing nutrients from the blood will make the host more likely to starve. Compared with the side effects of other parasites, they are almost nonexistent.

In a sense, the ghost firefly could be called a perfect parasite, but it was pointed out in the book records that it was very unsuitable as the first parasite for wizard apprentices.

Because the ghost firefly has an unchangeable shortcoming, that is, its own life is extremely fragile and it is difficult to reproduce.

The same curse, after the iron nematodes and ghost flies resist, they will be weak for a period of time, and they can continue to resist the curse after recovering.

The ghost fireflies are different, they can indeed successfully resist the curse, but often the price they pay is immediate death.After facing the curse, the only way to let the wizard apprentice as the host resist.

Of course, the wizard apprentice can also be solved by constantly implanting ghost fireflies.

However, the number of ghost fireflies is not large, and it is difficult to reproduce. This method will not last long, and eventually there will be no parasites available.

Therefore, not a good choice.

But having said that, other aspects of the ghost firefly are extremely attractive.

When Li Hyuk walked out of the library door, he kept thinking.

Think about which parasite is better to choose.

It is best to combine the three parasites, and the next best thing is to make up for the shortcomings of the three parasites.

However, how to obtain these three parasites is a new problem, which is not covered in the book.

Just as he was thinking, Geller, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped at the door.

Li He's eyes flickered, and they stopped walking together. In his vision, he saw an old man in a dirty gray robe, walking up the stairs to the second floor.

"Hello, teacher, is your experiment over?" Geller quickly bowed his head to greet.

"En." The old man responded and slowly approached.

Li He lowered his head, followed by greeting: "Hello, Master Wizard."

This time the old man didn't respond, he walked to the door and stopped.

After waiting for a long time, but he didn't see the other party leaving, Li Helue looked up at the other party in doubt.

The extremely thin old man who looked like a skeleton opened his mouth slowly, looked at Li He and asked aloud: "It was you who provided me with a hundred high-quality rubies before, right? I think you should still have them there?"

Li He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said sincerely: "If you go back to the wizard, I still have six rubies left in my hand, and the quality is a little bit worse. If you need it, I can give it to you for free."

It would be too coincidental to say that there is not one, Li Hyuk thought about something that can be solved with a small price, there is no need to offend the other party.Speaking of which, the other party's private library is quite useful to him, and if possible, he would like to visit it a few more times.

Who knows, after hearing what he said, the old man shook his head slightly: "If it's just a few rubies, there's no need for me to speak in person. You should understand that a few rubies can't meet my needs, I need more. I'm thinking , since you were able to take out a hundred rubies before, there must be a way to get more rubies. Even if you can’t get it now, you can in the future.”

Li He pondered for half a second, looked at the old man and asked: "Then I boldly ask the wizard a question, if I can provide more rubies to the wizard, what can I get?"

"You can have my friendship."

"Friendship?" The corner of Li He's mouth twitched imperceptibly.The illusory promise of friendship has no attraction for him, it is better to give him something more practical.

Li He pursed his lips, and asked: "Master Wizard, can you help me get some parasites, such as iron nematodes, ghost flies and ghost fireflies, due to your friendship? I need them right now."

"Ha!" The old man laughed suddenly, and said in a hoarse voice, "Boy, you are so bold that you even bargained with the wizard. But I am not unreasonable, if you want to exchange three kinds of parasites, I can satisfy you. Just one thing, if you want this parasite, you should implant it yourself, right? Then, do you really dare to implant the parasite given to you by an outsider, and are you not afraid of doing anything?"

Before Li He could respond, the old man continued: "You need parasites, but I can recommend a place to catch them. There are many types and quantities there, and you can catch anything you want. I will tell you the specific place. And the price for promising your friendship to remain the same is that you have to provide me with a hundred rubies, and the quality cannot be much different from what you provided before, how about it, think about it?"

"Well……"
