Fairy's Chess Game

Chapter 113 Blood Magic

Contrary to most people's impressions, Heiberian, one of the four heavenly kings of Ishgar, is actually a very kind person, and he doesn't like the dark and gloomy environment as rumored, but puts His own rooms are arranged on the top floor, and the one with the best lighting is his study.

Woz and Mirajane followed Heyberian to his study, and the scarecrow butler left after making tea—there were not many people in such a huge castle, and most of the chores required this diligent butler Do it yourself.On the contrary, it was the cat, who stayed in the study with a curious look.

Heiberian didn't force her either, and let her lie down on the window sill where the light was the best to bask in the sun.There is also a huge soft cushion specially placed there, it seems that the cat's waywardness is also a habit of this owner.

After sitting down, Woz pondered for a moment, ready to get straight to the point: "Sir, I'm here..."

Before he could speak, he was interrupted by Heiberian raising his hand. The old nobleman shook his head slightly, but he was not in a hurry to speak, but took a sip from the goblet in his hand in a leisurely manner. Calm and elegant.

Woz and Mirajane couldn't help staring at his movements.

Noticing the eyes of the two young men, Heiberian raised his glass: "What's the matter, do you want some too?"

Thinking of his legend of "the last vampire", Mirajane shook her head palely.

"Miss Strauss, you are already very beautiful, but drinking more milk is still very good for your skin." Heiberian said with a little regret.

"Huh? So it's milk?" Mirajane looked at the goblet in his hand in shock, and it turned out that there was a swaying milky white inside. She had always thought it was a white cup before!
"It was airlifted from the capital just this morning. It's very fresh. Don't worry." Heiberian praised his milk unceremoniously. "Uh, otherwise, what do you think it is?"

"It's nothing... it's just that drinking milk from a wine glass is a bit strange."

Heiberian shook his wine glass: "This is more elegant. Of course, I used to drink, but as I get older, milk is healthier. Speaking of which, I still have a lot of good wine hidden here. I found a batch of fine wine in the tribe, do you want to taste it?"

The cat lay on the cushion and said, "Master, have you been drinking in secret again? If the uncle finds out, he will keep nagging for a long time."

Heiberian coughed and took another sip of milk.

Woz was a little speechless: "Excuse me, what did you want to say to me just now?"

"Oh, that's right!" After being brought back to the topic by Woz, Heiberian let go of the goblet, "I already know from the Keeper the purpose of your coming to me this time."

"So, you agreed?" Woz confirmed.

"No problem." Sure enough, Heiberian agreed without any hesitation, "I have to say, you made the best choice! My blood magic is indeed the most suitable choice for you."

No, it's just that I just happened to be able to contact you...Woz complained silently, but also admitted the other party's words: "Yes, because I am already an ice-shaped mage, and my magic power attribute has been fixed to Ice, learning other attribute magic is simply half the effort; and your blood magic does not seem to conflict with the ice shape magic I have mastered. Taking a step back, even if there are still conflicts, compared to other attribute magic effects It will be much smaller. In the final analysis, I just want to master a little more skills about blood magic and integrate it into my word magic system."

"Well, what you said makes sense." Heiberian nodded in praise, "Do you just want to master a little technique? It is true that a considerable part of the blood magic I have mastered is fused with our family blood. You just want to learn it." It is also very difficult. But what I mean is that there is one more thing, judging from your current situation, I am afraid that you have to master some blood magic."

He looked into Woz's eyes and said very seriously: "Woz, you are 'bleeding' now!"

Woz lowered his head to take a closer look at his body, then turned his head and looked at Mirajane with questioning eyes. The latter shook his head at him, apparently finding no wounds or blood on his body.

Highberger said: "I don't mean the bleeding in the superficial sense, but your inside." He pointed to his head, "Mr. Frenner, your soul is 'bleeding'."

Woz asked, "You mean, the soul is wounded?"

"That's right. I think you've seen our family's motto just now, blood is the currency of life and the carrier of the soul. For me, the blood in a person's body is the carrier of his body and soul connection; or the soul This is also the core concept of blood magic. In my opinion, damage to the soul is similar to bleeding from the body. And my blood magic is the most effective way to heal the soul."

Woz said helplessly: "I'm afraid this is the reason for the wild ghosts you mentioned just now."

"Were you injured by a wild ghost?" Heiberian became nervous in a rare way. "Is it an attack on the soul? Sure enough, that kind of sudden possession attack is very difficult to deal with!"

Woz shook his head: "No, it's actually more serious, and now I'm imprisoning one in my body."

"Hey, let me tell you why you only counted 48 just now, so the last one is in your body!" said the cat beside him.

Heiberian immediately looked at Woz with admiration, as if looking at a monster: "How dare you put such a dangerous thing in your body? No, it should be that you have a way to seal a wild ghost?"

Woz explained: "The situation was urgent at the time, and I had no choice but to imprison it in my body. And I don't know how long my seal can last, so I would like to ask you to help me deal with it... But now it seems that you are also There is no good way?"

Heiberian said helplessly: "I really don't have any effective methods for them. You may not know that these 49 wild ghosts are also powerful ones that have existed since at least 400 years ago... let's call them monsters? The first generation Heiberian had fought with them before, but in the end, he still had no way to completely destroy them, so he could only seal them in one of his castles. Every subsequent generation of Heiberian tried to destroy them in the past, and also Including me, but we all failed. In the end, all we can do is to constantly strengthen the seal outside the castle on the basis of our predecessors, to prevent the increasingly powerful monsters from coming out to endanger the world. But the worst thing is that the more monsters It is getting stronger and stronger, and it seems that it has begun to develop resistance to our family's blood magic, and when I went in last time, I was almost killed by them!"

"Nearly 20 years ago, the wild ghosts in the castle even distorted and polluted the sealing magic circle arranged and strengthened by successive patriarchs of the Heyberian family, forming the current blood cloud. The castle itself was also refined into a magic circle by them. The flying magic device! It is completely out of the control of the family, so I have to follow it to wander in the desert."

Woz thought for a while: "Is it because they have been facing the same blood magic all the time, making those wild ghosts resistant? I think the bottom ghosts in the castle are basically full of blood elements. Are you kidding me?"

Mirajane was not in the mood to joke, and asked anxiously: "Then what should I do? Woz, aren't you in danger now!"

Heiberian smiled and stopped the girl's panic: "Don't worry so much, since Mr. Frenner has successfully sealed a wild ghost, at least in a short period of time there will be no problem. And as he said just now, It is very likely that these wild ghosts have developed resistance to my blood magic, but not necessarily to other magical powers. It just so happens that Mr. Frenner can imitate and use almost all types of magic effects, which is really a Where's their nemesis?"

Woz's eyes lit up: "That's right, since the magic of blood is invalid, you can use magic power of other attributes. It happens to be in my body, so I can study it carefully. As long as I figure out its principle, no matter what it is I am sure to solve it!" Woz looked confident.

"Study it?" Mirajane asked in surprise, "How to do it?" She has a similar demon soul in her body, but she has awakened the magic power for several years and still doesn't know how to "communicate" with it.

"Uh..." Woz was also stunned, and only then did he realize that this first step encountered an unsolvable difficulty.

Heiberian smiled happily: "So, it's a good move for you to come to me! Come and learn my blood magic, which is the best way to communicate with the soul body besides specializing in soul magic. There is no better way to face these wild ghosts who have been baptized by blood magic for hundreds of years!"

"Sir, you seem to be eager to teach me the magic of blood!" Woz watched strangely as this elegant man continued to use his magic of blood.

Heiberian admitted without hesitation: "Of course, Mr. Frenner, you are different from other people. I am sure that as long as I teach you, you will be able to learn! Such an excellent student is something that every mage would love to see." Arrived."

"I know that you have a deep affection for Ulu who taught you the magic of ice modeling, so I don't need you to formally apprentice, just treat it as an ordinary magic exchange. They are both the curator of the big library, you have this qualification !" Hey Berrien shook his wine glass, "How is it? My conditions are very good, right?"

Woz reminded: "In fact, you haven't mentioned any conditions."

"Actually, I've always been very curious about your writing magic, Mr. Frenner." Heiberian reached out, and a notebook on the desk next to him flew into his hand, "I obtained your magic through the Tower of Babel." I have been self-studying and researching that kind of written materials for a long time. I have to say that this minimalist hieroglyph is the best symbol for carrying magic. I also want to see how my blood magic is expressed and imitated through these words from."

He opened the notes, and there were indeed dense research notes on them. The level of seriousness and detail made Mirajane feel ashamed-she had always wanted to learn Woz's special characters, but she had never been so serious!Otherwise, at least now I can understand what Woz usually writes in the book.

After thinking for a while, Heiberian said again: "If your research has really achieved any remarkable results..."

"Don't worry, I won't hide anything!" Woz readily agreed.

"No, what I mean is that if you can achieve results in dealing with wild ghosts, it is best to ask you to destroy the remaining ones in Blood Cloud Castle. Now that they are out of my control, I worry that in a few years time they will be destroyed." , these things will really become fine, and then it will inevitably be another natural disaster level disaster!"
