Chapter 1477: 497. The Giant Snake’s Gratitude_3

Therefore, He Lu wisely turned down Lady Triss’s invitation.

He was indeed going to have a Mage Tower to "glorify his ancestors," but he chose to build his Mage Tower in the location of Wolf Castle.

He used the abandoned Wizard Tower that was repaired afterward as his stronghold. Distant from the city’s hustle and bustle, it also avoided malice from "colleagues" in the competition and even created an image of a "recluse" to awe people - it was perfect.

Moreover, He Lu had obtained authorization from the young miss to recruit students with the talent for spiritual energy detection in Wolf Castle, continuously producing professional spiritual energy scouts for Transylvania.

For this reason, Governor Milian even held a small knighting ceremony after the first snowfall to bestow He Lu, the mage about to journey to the swamp, with the title and honor of being Transylvania’s "Pioneer Baron."

Although he didn’t have a fief, He Lu was already very satisfied with his situation.

He knew that as long as he survived the Black Disaster, he would be able to fulfill the simple dream he had when he left home – to truly honor his ancestors.

However, Mage He Lu also had a mission in Wolf Castle.

He had to complete the construction of the semi-permanent teleportation portal from Wolf Castle to Crimson Castle within a month. Lady Triss and the young miss provided all the materials, but this workload was still a tremendous pressure without the help of an apprentice.

What?

You say that He Lu has an apprentice?

Indeed, he has Yan Song as his own apprentice, but it has been almost thirty days since He Lu last saw Yan Song. That rascal didn’t know where he had gone off to, not even sending a letter; clearly, Yan Song no longer had his mentor in his heart.

Alas, such misfortune for the lineage.

"Eh? Sir Murphy, The Grand Duke of Triss, and General Maxim? What brings you here?"

He Lu quickly sensed the nearby spiritual energy fluctuations, gripping his staff warily, but soon found out that the visitors were his own people. He awkwardly approached them to get close, and, as expected, was pressed into service by Murphy.

"Use your Psychic Hand to apply these potions into Oru’s wounds, don’t be afraid, Oru won’t bite you. I’ve already spoken to it; it knows we are treating it.

It will endure the pain."

Murphy diluted the potion brought by Triss with water at a ratio of ten to one and passed one bottle to He Lu. The frail scout looked at the Swamp Giant Snake whose eyes were larger than people’s and wished he could slap his own mouth several times.

How could one casually ask about the affairs of Sir Murphy?

Look!

Being talkative got himself into this embarrassing situation.

That’s a Legendary Serpent!

It didn’t even need to use its teeth; just triggering the blinding curse of its Gem Scales was enough to give him trouble, and watching He Lu’s terrified demeanor, Murphy shrugged his shoulders and whispered a few words into He Lu’s ear.

Upon hearing that the Legendary Serpent might gift him with some "lost treasures," the panic in He Lu’s heart was immediately chased away by the joy of potential gain.

He happily followed Maxim to the back of the Giant Serpent, starting to use his Psychic Hand to apply the medicine to Oru’s severely injured back.

"All we need to do is neutralize the Time Poison that Mannis left inside Oru. With the self-healing ability of a Legendary Creature, we won’t need to do anything else."

Triss flew in the air, continuously merging the potion into the huge wounds of the Legendary Serpent with a spell of mist, then said to Murphy:

"But the potency of Mannis’s venom is indeed terrifying. I think you should ask for more from it, and I will prepare special Sword Oil for you. If even Ningkinanka, the master of toxins, cannot withstand the Endless One’s venom corrosion, then it means that this extreme poison will be effective against most life in the material world."

Time, ah.

Time is the most poisonous substance in this world, without a rival."

"If its venom is truly terrifying to that extent, what I need to worry about is not whether someone can escape from under my sword, Triss."

Murphy obviously thought of more and sighed as he said:

"The weapons capable of containing that kind of venom are also rare in this world. Apart from necessary evils, I can hardly use it on other weapons. Speaking of which, after resurrecting Oru, we could stop by the exhibition hall’s personal armory to take a look.

There are still 48 sets of personal defense equipment there.

I am very curious. What kind of unique effects do weapons and armor produced by the creator’s machinery have? By the way, we can also enjoy the curator’s private bath, experiencing the future life crafted by the creator."

"Hmm?"

Triss glanced at Murphy and said:

"But that’s a single-person bath... Ah, I see, you little scamp!"

The two of them engaged in romantic banter, seemingly oblivious to their surroundings, a scene that had He Lu frequently looking up. As someone not in the higher echelons of Transylvania, He Lu’s knowledge of Sir Murphy and Lady Triss’s romantic gossip was limited to the various rumors spread far and wide.

But looking at this scene now, it seems those rumors aren’t without basis.

While he was engaged in some "dangerous" thoughts, the giant snake lying below receiving treatment suddenly let out an exhilarated hiss. With He Lu caught unresponsive, Oru suddenly rose to its feet, and amidst the earth’s trembling with the giant beast’s awakening and He Lu’s scream as he fell into the swamp, Oru seemed to come back to life after having the poison expelled.

As the spirit of the swamp, it could finally draw life force from its surrounding environment to heal itself; although still in pain, the feeling of renewal brought the giant snake immense joy.

Consequently, Little Cardinna perched on its head also let out a naive and raucous echo of cries.

Speaking of which, this little giant snake really grew fast. Having broken out of the shell just three days ago, it had already grown to half a human’s height, yet in comparison with Oru’s terrifying size, it was still a little chick.

"Listen, Oru is thanking us."

Murphy hovered in the air, holding Triss gently as he said:

"It can finally let go of the burden in its heart. Tell me, if we tell Lord Paryen Oru’s story, would he feel sadness and remorse for slaying Oru’s mate a thousand years ago?"

"Most likely not."

Triss shook her head and said:

"The word ’regret’ doesn’t exist in the lord’s personality. Although we don’t know what happened here a thousand years ago, the fact that the lord had to personally confront a creature like the giant snake implies that the situation back then was very complex, and cannot be judged simply as good or evil...

Hmm?

Is Oru gesturing for us to follow?

It seems to have something to give to us?

Wow, is this it expressing its gratitude?"
