Lord of Mysterious Wizard-Chapter 248 - : Birch Tree and Life Essence Stone
Chapter 248 -248: Birch Tree and Life Essence Stone
Within the spread of the Magic Shield, Tang Qi’s figure had already appeared, while the four “Blue Hounds” continuously swung their scythes, attempting to break through.
Unfortunately, their combat power was completely incomparable to the “Black and White Level” Hounds, merely accelerating the depletion of Magic Power within White Witch Zoe.
However, at this moment, Zoe clearly didn’t care about these issues.
She looked at Tang Qi, her tone urgent as she asked, “Do you have a way to heal Odys?”
Clearly, the Demon Hunter lying in her arms was in a dire situation.
Evil Dagger!
It belonged to a mysterious artifact from the Mysterious Side, but unlike traditional artifacts, its power was both domineering and weird, somewhat beyond the handling limits of a White Witch.
Perhaps given some time, she could deal with it, but what was most lacking right now was time.
The trade request from Tang Qi gave her a glimmer of hope.
Then, she saw Tang Qi shake his head without hesitation, saying, “Of course not, I’m not a healer.”
“You, as a White Witch, are unable to dispel the damage caused by that dagger, so a mere Wild Transcendent such as myself naturally can’t either. However, I can delay his life and help you deal with that big guy.”
“Without these evil hounds blocking the way, with the methods of your FBI, it shouldn’t be difficult to cure this guy.”
Upon hearing the answer, White Witch Zoe first showed a trace of disappointment but quickly came to her senses.
This was probably the best outcome she could achieve at the moment.
If this Night Wing Knight truly could deal with the Black Hound and delay Odys’s life, the crisis could be resolved.
But this guy, indeed as the intelligence stated, tended toward Order Neutral, yet was unwilling to let go of any advantages.
Though she felt somewhat like being exploited during a crisis, Zoe did not show any signs of resentment, but suppressed her urgency and asked calmly, “What do you want?”
“I want your contact information.”
As soon as Tang Qi finished speaking, he immediately felt the agents’ glaring, sword-like gazes piercing through him.
At the same time, Mr. Odys lying in the arms of the White Witch turned even paler with a “swoosh”, his extremely weak body twitched as if trying to stand and strike Tang Qi with the “Head of Demon.”
Still awake, this strong demonic lineage?
Tang Qi thought to himself, and then immediately continued, “I have an artifact, covered with dual seals of a Black Witch. I know some decryption methods, but the operations are extremely complex and I need the help of a true Witch.”
“Now is not a good time to decrypt, but you can give me your contact information and sign a contract with me to assist in decryption. I’ll help delay his life and also eliminate that big fellow.”
“You only need to offer your knowledge, my payment is not only the artifact but also to engage in combat. You are practically earning a fortune in this deal.”
As a frequent initiator and finalizer of trades, Tang Qi was quite eloquent.
At least those agents glowering at Tang Qi also subconsciously nodded after hearing this.
If it’s just providing knowledge to assist in decryption, indeed, this trade is not bad.
This time, Tang Qi truly had no other motives mixed into the trade.
He came here with only two purposes, to observe the major battle to determine the fate of Investigation Bureau staff and for the “Fusion Combat Skill.”
The initiation of the trade was only because he unexpectedly discovered that the FBI had actually dispatched a Professional Level “White Witch,” and thus he remembered he possessed the artifact “Witch Iron Box sealed by a double seal,” which had more than two decryption methods.
One of which could leverage the power of a White Witch.
For Tang Qi, this was an “unexpected delight”; true to his nature, he would not miss out.
Zoe took a moment to think and similarly recognized the logic in Tang Qi’s words. Just asking her to contribute some knowledge was indeed extremely favorable conditions. Combined with Tang Qi’s own contributions, it didn’t even count as taking advantage of a crisis, but rather it was more like providing significant help.
But Zoe was somewhat puzzled; such a simple request, this Night Wing Knight could actually have taken action first, and after saving everyone, then made his demands, not only achieving his goals but potentially even earning the friendship of the FBI.
This knight seemed smart, so hadn’t he thought of this?
While puzzled, Odys’s life essence continued to weaken, and Zoe no longer contemplated, quickly agreeing, “Okay!”
As her words fell, a ghost light flashed in Zoe’s eyes, but a substance similar to “white birch bark” appeared out of thin air. Wrapped in a faint light and covered with subtle, natural patterns, under some mysterious mechanism, Tang Qi and Zoe’s conversation rapidly appeared on the bark.
In the last section, a blank space remained.
At one point, a Magic Power belonging to Zoe emerged, forming a peculiar badge, resembling a certain family emblem, settling upon it.
“Buzz”
“Leave a trace of Magic Power imprint!”
New novel chapters are published on freewёbn૦νeɭ.com.
The bark flew towards Tang Qi, with Zoe’s voice also transmitting over.
Tang Qi looked, and a snippet of Information Fragment flashed at the bottom of his eyes.
“Curios: Birch Tree Contract, this contract is witnessed by an ancient Divine Spirit of Permanent Neutrality, recognized as one of the fairest contracts on the Mysterious Side, and it is also the most trusted and favored contract among the White Witches…”
“No problem.”
Under normal circumstances, Tang Qi might think about tricking someone, as it had become somewhat of a habit.
But this time, Tang Qi truly had no such intention.
He gladly left a magic mark, only to see the birch tree bark suddenly shine even brighter, and then the text and marks on it began to fade, not disappearing, but entering a “witnessing procedure.” When the last one faded, the brightness reached its climax.
Within the ghostly light, a phantom appeared, that of a true towering tree, seemingly stretching into the heavens, a birch tree deeply rooted in the ancient earth, under everyone’s watchful eyes, a leaf suddenly fluttered down from it.
The moment it touched the ground, all the light disappeared.
“The contract, is established.”
An Information Fragment flashed across Tang Qi’s eyes.
After reading it, Tang Qi nodded, reached into his chest pocket, deliberately rummaged for a moment, and then took out an item.
Opening his palm, there lay a crystal clear gemstone, filled with an enticing allure.
“This is…”
Tang Qi’s initial detection had not been mistaken, Zoe was indeed a knowledgeable White Witch.
She almost instantly recognized the origin of the gemstone, and simultaneously realized why Tang Qi wanted to sign the contract.
Life Essence Stone!
This was the reason Tang Qi was confident he could delay Odys’s life, a pure, rare crystal stone.
In the Mysterious Side World, such curios could almost only be created by one type of Extraordinary Creature.
The Life Essence Banshee!
Moreover, even Banshees cannot produce them in bulk.
After all, Banshees absorb Life Essence to maintain youth and life, as well as for Cultivation, and only then choose to transform it into crystal stones.
Its uses include concocting Secret Medicine, emergency life-saving, life extension…
Tang Qi had originally acquired one through a fortuitous coincidence, encountering an adventurer team with a deep bond, trading it for an exceedingly “precious” mutated ogre corpse.
Zoe recognizing the “Life Essence Stone” naturally also knew its uses.
The White Witch, who had been extremely worried about Odys’s life, hesitated for a moment, her face even showing a struggle.
But in the end, concern prevailed, and she chose to use it.
Not touching the Life Essence Stone thrown by Tang Qi with her hands, she “whooshed,” exhaling a stream of magic power.
The next moment, that Life Essence Stone melted in mid-air.
Not dripping down, it transformed into a mass of water ripples, gently altering, only becoming increasingly strange.
“Hum”
Amidst the astonished eyes of all the Transcendent agents, after a ripple in the air, an extremely realistic phantom appeared.
That was a human figure.
She had an explosively stunning figure, breathtakingly beautiful features, wearing a black leather jacket, tightly fitting jeans, and black knee-high boots, as she step by step walked over, seemingly drawn by some force, arriving in front of Odys, whom Zoe unknowingly placed on the ground.
Bending down, she gently kissed the lips of this “Demon Hunter.”
All agents internally gasped, suddenly feeling that after this mission, they might face calamity, as they saw a scene they should not have witnessed.
Even though they were all Transcendents, at this moment, they felt the air temperature seemingly continuously dropping.
Contrastingly, the face of Odys lying on the ground turned from originally pale to an unknowingly flushed red, not knowing whether it was the effect of the “Life Essence Stone” or some other reason.
They dared not speak up, fearing that making a sound at this moment would implicate them.
Regrettably, there was another fellow on the scene who seemed to have long anticipated this moment.
When the Banshee kissed Odys’s lips, a loud whistle sound came.
Everyone simultaneously turned their heads, about to glare at this person, only to see Tang Qi with an innocent expression, stepping back a few steps, stepping out of the edge of the Magic Shield, and suddenly extending a hand to grab a “Blue Hound” that couldn’t dodge in time, without hesitation pressing it down towards the ground.
Bang!
A muffled sound echoed, Tang Qi walked out of the Magic Shield, his voice light as a feather coming through.
“Show’s over, time to get back to work!”
