Wizard Bloodline

Ronan saw a slightly satisfied look on his face when he saw the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake surrendering.

After more than a month of training on the road, it still has some effect.

It has to be said that the current strength of the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake is quite terrifying.

Three years ago, Ronan's bloodline was purified for the second time, and this guy was probably the one who made the biggest "sacrifice" for him.

Ronan only remembered that when he woke up from the blood cocoon, the ice crystal snake he saw was depleted of essence and blood and extremely depressed. Even the horn on its head, which symbolized the ancient snake species, had become dull.

He was quite moved and felt guilty at first, and even mentioned to Benigo that he would use part of his resources to compensate the Ice Crystal Demon Snake.

Benigo said indifferently that he didn't have to, saying that this was his obligation as a legal pet, and that this was also a perfect opportunity to relieve the pressing pressure caused by the "Posilina Gambling Agreement".

The poor ice crystal snake finally returned to the primitive jungle alone and silently in an extremely weak state.

But I never thought that three years later, Benigo still looked like he was aging before he was old, but this guy was as energetic as he could be.

Not only has he been promoted to the third level of Warcraft, but his abilities in all aspects have also improved tremendously.

Ronan estimated that the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake's current combat effectiveness could almost match that of Ignatius, who had full bloodline three years ago.

And this guy has only spent less than four years from birth to now.

"The ancient bloodline is indeed enviable, and its potential is almost unlimited..."

If it weren't for the natural suppression of the one percent ancient frost hydra bloodline in his body, it would really take a lot of effort for him to suppress it.

Ronan thought, and clicked on his character panel - [Strength: Level 2 Official Wizard (172%)].

After more than a month, Ronan's strength not only did not increase at all, but actually regressed.

The reason comes from within the body. At this time, in Ronan's consciousness space, the soul sigil belonging to the [Tundra Frozen Soil] in the first mental power crystal has undergone some changes.

The original [Tundra Frozen Soil] talisman seems to have a gorgeous and beautiful complex silver border around it. In addition to the coldness of frost, there is also the mystery of space and mirrors.

Ronan had only tried the modified [Tundra Frozen Soil] talisman a little bit on the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake, and he was very satisfied with the upgraded power.

"Three years have made my foundation more solid, and I have made up for some of the gaps between me and the top geniuses of the great wizard forces. All expectations have basically been met. The only thing that is lacking now is probably mental strength. "Cultivation"

Ronan glanced at his character panel, his eyes flashing slightly.

This gap cannot be forced. There are still less than three months before the deadline for the start of the battle for the Wizards seat of Helms. He can only try to win as much as possible.

This time, I followed Kirsty's suggestion and came to the Heart of Machinery to explore. I also had the idea of ​​​​searching within the Heart of Machinery to make up for the last bit of soul power lacking in the third-level wizard.

We can only hope that "Spirter's Surprise Box" can really bring him some surprises.

Ronan thought and looked around briefly.

He took out the opened "Spirter Surprise Box" that Kirsty had given him from the space ring. The strange metal box covered with gears was filled with a mysterious and ancient atmosphere.

After taking out the box, Ronan immediately discovered that the interlocking brass gears on the box rotated much faster than before in the Silver Ring.

It seems to have some kind of guiding function.

Ronan gently jumped on the head of the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake, held the magic box in one hand, and ordered the Ice Crystal Demonic Snake to swim around in the wasteland.

Based on the speed of the gears on the magic box turning, he quickly determined a direction, and then continued to search deeper along that direction.

"Kaka——"

When the ice crystal demon snake swam to a low hill, Ronan suddenly heard the extremely crisp sound of gears turning from the magic box in his hand.

The powerful mental power belonging to a late-stage second-level wizard suddenly spread out, and the [Eye of Truth] silently weaved between the eyebrows.

In the field of vision composed of countless mottled light spots, Ronan saw a living creature composed of complex lines slowly walking out from behind the hill.

Under the detection of the [Eye of Truth], lines represent the orderly arrangement of free energy particles, often representing formed spells or running rune arrays.

Ronan saw that it was a short-legged gray goat that looked very ordinary. It had a broken horn on its head, and one of its legs seemed to be born shorter, causing it to walk with a limp. It's a bit funny.

Under the dim sunlight of the wilderness, the gray goat's whole body glowed with a slight metallic luster, including every curly wool on its body.

No matter its movements or expression, especially its black and white eyes, they are all lifelike, just like a real goat.

At this time, Ronan was completely attracted by the internal structure of the lame gray goat.

Through the goat's appearance, he "saw" a total of five vigorously beating metal hearts composed of countless gears, closely integrated and indescribably delicate mechanical parts, a large number of independent yet interconnected, interlocking parts. Complex Rune Array

"It is simply a masterpiece of the perfect combination of alchemy and runes"

Ronan squinted his eyes and murmured softly.

In fact, he is not particularly interested in metal puppet spells, but as far as metal spells go, puppets are an extremely important and powerful spell genre.

There is no corresponding inheritance in the silver magic ring. If he wants to continue on the path of metal magic in the future, it is just right to start preparing now.

Just as Ronan was looking at the metal puppet goat, the latter also discovered the existence of Ronan, a combination of man and snake.

This little thing is quite alert. Perhaps it just happened to sneak to the front from behind the hill and accidentally made eye contact with Ronan. After discovering Ronan, its two short black ears immediately stood up, and then turned around and ran away.

Ronan's eyes flashed slightly, and he didn't need to say anything. The ice crystal demon snake under him had already swam out quickly.

Although he came to find the ruins of the mechanical heart, he had no reason to let go of this thing that made him "heart-pounding" at the entrance of the ruins.

The hill of more than ten meters high was just a small obstacle that could be crossed by the hundred-meter-long ice crystal snake.

When the ice crystal snake crossed the hill, Ronan suddenly found that the mechanical gray goat had already run hundreds of meters away.

It was obviously lame in one leg, but its speed was incredibly fast. In just a moment, it almost escaped from Ronan's mental coverage.

"Hu——"

The chasing ice crystal snake opened its mouth and spit out an extremely cold kiss.

The rolling frost turned into a cold current, forming a column from top to bottom and quickly moved towards the gray goat in the distance.

Where the cold current column passed, large areas of land were directly frozen by thick magic frost, and the area within a radius of several miles seemed to have directly entered the cold winter from the hot summer.

When the ice crystal snake, which was promoted to the third level, exhaled, it already had a bit of the power of the ancient demon beast overlord.

The rapidly spreading frost caught up with the fleeing gray goat in the blink of an eye, and instantly froze it into an ice block.

The lame gray goat was frozen in the translucent ice with a posture of running wildly with all four legs spread out.

After doing all this, the ice crystal snake closed its mouth and swam forward slowly and leisurely.

However, before it could arrive with Ronan on its back, the huge ice block in front of it exploded with a "bang", and a gray shadow disappeared at a speed that was difficult to capture with the naked eye.

"Uh"

Not only Ronan was stunned, but even the ice crystal snake was stunned.

Both Ronan and the ice crystal snake were very clear about the magic power contained in the frost breath just now.

If a general third-level monster was sprayed by that breath, it would most likely freeze all over its body on the spot. Not to mention immediate death, it is certain that it will be unable to move for a short time.

The Ice Crystal Demon Snake can feast in the primeval forest and regard all kinds of magical beasts, even those with stronger strength than it, as food for growth, relying on this icy power that comes from its bloodline and is inherited from ancient times.

Ronan has also experienced this. Even if he has the bloodline of the ancient frost hydra, it would not be very comfortable if he was sprayed directly by the Ice Crystal Demon Snake's innate breath.

However, the seemingly ordinary metal puppet goat escaped so easily?

Even the speed of escape was not affected at all.

The mechanical components and rune arrays in its body were not damaged at all by the power of frost?

"Hiss--"

The Ice Crystal Demon Snake felt that the majesty of the overlord was challenged, especially by an existence that it regarded as an ant. Its eyes suddenly darkened and it was about to catch up.

However, Ronan was faster than it.

Under the robe, the two metals wriggled like living things, quickly attached to Ronan's body, and turned him into a mysterious knight wrapped in layers of armor. The [Space Silverization] rune was activated, and the black metal armor turned into deep and gorgeous silver.

Ronan's body swayed, and the sunlight of the wasteland fell on him, reflecting a hazy and mysterious color.

"Shua——"

His figure disappeared briefly in the air, and then reappeared hundreds of meters away.

After the [Space Silverization] rune was initially created, Ronan used [Living Steel] to perform it, and he could use the effect of "short-distance space teleportation" similar to the mirror dagger.

Whether chasing the enemy or escaping, he no longer had to stab himself with the mirror dagger as he did in the battle on the Goblin Plains.

Although the distance of a teleportation is not long, at most it can only reach about half of the mirror dagger, but because it is activated by the soul seal, the cooling time is also shortened a lot, only a few seconds, which greatly enhances Ronan's mobility.

Ronan flashed a few times, and the gray goat appeared in his sight again.

This guy had stopped for some reason at this time, and was burying his head in a small pile of earth, as if he was desperately arching something.

Ronan saw a fragment of light emanating from the pile of earth, and he faintly sensed the fluctuation of spatial energy.

Under the deep silver mask with spatial patterns all over, Ronan's eyes flickered slightly, and without any hesitation, the metal that constituted his full body armor quickly broke away from a part and shot out like a sharp arrow.

The silver glow jumped in the sunlight several times, suddenly appeared in front of the gray goat, and then under Ronan's control, it quickly wrapped around it.

"Stagnation!"

Ronan pointed his right hand far ahead, with five fingers clenched.

In an instant, the silver metal wrapped around the gray goat solidified quietly, reflecting a smooth mirror-like luster.

The gray goat, which was burying its head and struggling, was suspended and lifted up by Ronan's virtual camera. The whole goat was like an image sealed in a bright mirror.

The power of spatial stagnation!

The power of confinement was even stronger than the frost breath that the Ice Crystal Demon Snake had sprayed before.

However.

"Crack——"

A clear crack suddenly appeared on the smooth metal mirror, and the eyes of the gray goat imprisoned in it kept rolling, revealing the emotion of desperate struggle.

"Hiss——"

This time, Ronan was really moved.

Even the power of spatial stagnation could not suppress this gray goat. It was obvious that this was definitely not an ordinary metal alchemy puppet.

Otherwise, the dwarf civilization of the Mechanical Heart would be too powerful!

Ronan hesitated for a moment, and finally did not use the power of spatial collapse after stagnation, and took the initiative to break the confined mirror - he was worried about damaging this goat puppet that brought him many shocks and surprises.

The more extraordinary the other party's performance, the higher its value.

Ronan's eyes settled, and his figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

"Crack, crack--"

There were more and more cracks on the imprisoned metal mirror, and the lame gray goat's limbs began to swing, as if it would jump out of the "mirror" in the next second.

And just when the whole mirror was about to break and the gray goat was about to escape,

a white and slender palm gently pinched its neck.

"Crack, crack, crack--"

The five fingers that were so beautiful that even women would feel jealous contained an indescribable terrible power. After pinching the gray goat's neck, the five fingers slowly sank into it, leaving clear finger marks.

The gray goat's internal creaking sound came from the weight, as if there were parts and rune arrays collapsing.

There were tiny energy flames jumping out of its dense and curly hair. It seemed to feel the real crisis coming, and the whole goat immediately became honest.

It was unprecedentedly docile, with low eyebrows and pleasant eyes, and even stretched out a short pink tongue, trying to turn its head to lick Ronan's arm.

Ronan had a blank expression and looked at the gray goat in his hand coldly.

He extended his other hand and slowly rubbed the goat, the action seemed like caressing, but in fact he was further exploring the composition of the gray goat.

"It is made of a special alchemical metal. This metal seems to have a strong natural immunity to spells, but it can also maintain the operation of the rune array at a high level and has excellent energy conduction ability."

Ronan's eyes showed a light of thought, as if he had found a little secret of why the gray goat was so slippery.

"Huh?!"

Suddenly, Ronan felt a soft metal collar at the neck of the gray goat.

Pushing aside the layers of metal wool, a golden metal collar appeared in front of him.

"This metal"

The moment Ronan saw the collar, he couldn't help but be stunned.

He felt an unprecedented huge amount of metal energy particles on the metal collar, and the small collar seemed to contain an entire metal ocean.

In addition, there were indescribable hot breaths, which were extremely rich fire energy particles.

Pure metal magic materials, the value is judged by the amount of metal energy particles contained.

The more concentrated the energy particles of the metal material are, the better the bonus to metal magic when it is used as a spell medium. It is also the dream of all metal wizards.

"Third-level metal material?"

Ronan stroked the collar carefully and quickly rejected his guess, "No, it's far more than third-level! Fourth-level, or even fifth-level is possible"

The deeper Ronan explored, the more thrilling he felt.

His azure eyes couldn't help but burst out with brilliance.

"This is definitely a dawn-level magic tool material!"

For a moment, Ronan even had a strong urge to immediately pull off the collar on the gray goat's neck and use it for himself.

But he still suppressed this urge.

"Although the grade is ridiculously high, the amount is too small, unless it is mixed with other metal media"

Another reason is that Ronan doesn't like the fire attribute contained in this collar.

Continuing to feel down along the collar, Ronan suddenly touched a small metal plate.

He blinked, turned the sheep's head, and turned the metal plate over to look at it carefully.

A metal plate with the same material and color as the collar, it looked like a pet nameplate specially customized for pets.

Some ancient and strange words were engraved on the plate.

It was dwarven.

Because the mechanical heart came from the dwarven civilization, Ronan specially studied it on the way here, and now it just came in handy.

"Dodor Shorttail III."

Ronan read the words on the nameplate, turned his palm, and turned the plate over again.

There was also a line of small words engraved on the back of the plate, which read--

"To my most beloved daughter, Barbara Gabriella Goldbeard!"
