Chapter 130: Chapter 114 Seeking Peace? Showing Weakness?_2

...

"Tutor Lucien, I now have an idea, which is to integrate potions, archery skills, and the Armed Plants magic technique. Following the earlier approach of using poison for deadly arrows, I plan to unify all my current abilities,"

On the carriage, Carly discussed her future combat strategy with Lucien.

"I feel the flaw in the Bloodline magic is in the limitation of the number of spells during combat, somewhat like your earlier analogy of the ’blue bar,’ Tutor Lucien. Some Bloodline spells have strong destructive power or unique functions, but their energy consumption is huge. They aren’t suitable for regular combat use but should serve as trump cards..."

"So, you want to use some poisons or certain attack potions attached to customized arrows produced using Armed Plants, and store a large number of potions in advance to serve as your standard offensive method?"

Lucien listened quietly and made a final summary of Carly’s idea.

However, Lucien always felt Carly’s idea seemed familiar, as if it was similar to the bow and arrow settings in a game he had played before his cross-dimensional journey.

"It’s an interesting setting," Lucien snapped his fingers. "I think I understand what you’re aiming to achieve, but I feel it could be refined slightly. According to your idea, special arrows could indeed be divided into the arrow shaft, special potions, and the vial used for applying the potions, and of course, there could also be some special custom arrows..."

"Tutor Lucien, there is a Third-level Wizard Apprentice ahead who seems to be waiting for someone..." Just as Lucien was pulling out a draft paper to discuss his ideas with Carly, Gagarin quietly interrupted Lucien, who was teaching.

"A Third-level Wizard Apprentice?" Lucien frowned lightly, but he wasn’t surprised as they were already quite close to Greybone Academy. It could very well be someone on a mission or involved in some experiment.

"The person is a wizard apprentice from the Boen Family..." Gagarin whispered.

"The Boen Family? The one founded by Heli?" Lucien’s brow furrowed.

Gagarin nodded but remained silent, as this involved negotiations at the level of Formal Wizards, and his role was to follow commands rather than to speak out of turn.

"Interesting," Lucien briefly shifted his focus from teaching, signaling Gagarin to continue moving forward. "I am somewhat curious what a Third-level Wizard Apprentice sent by Wizard Heli wants to discuss with me."

"Hmph, or rather, what is there left to discuss?" Lucien chuckled coldly. Initially, he thought Wizard Heli might have some ace up his sleeve, but now it seemed more like a gesture of weakness.

Soon, the carriage stopped not far from that Third-level Wizard Apprentice.

"I am Vina Boren, the current spokesperson of the Boen Family." The Boen Family had sent a young female Third-level Wizard Apprentice, who, despite her youth, showed remarkable will.

She maintained her composure under the oppressive spiritual field deliberately released by Lucien, keeping to basic etiquette while also displaying the humility expected of a Third-level Wizard Apprentice towards a Formal Wizard.

"I’ve come here to wait for Tutor Lucien, on behalf of our family..." Vina looked at Lucien but inadvertently swayed slightly, seemingly overwhelmed by the force of the Formal Wizard’s field.

"Tutor Lucien..." Vina looked up, appearing quite pitiful.

Lucien glanced at her, withdrew his spiritual field, which brought a slight joy to Vina. If she could use this connection to get on Lucien’s good side as a Formal Wizard, perhaps she could gain more resources than what she would receive from within her family...

But while she was lost in her thoughts, Lucien’s somewhat cold words made her face turn pale. "You’re not high-ranking enough to represent anyone in a discussion with me. If you’re sincerely interested, have someone from your family’s Formal Wizard level come."

Gagarin struggled to keep his expression neutral.

Boen Family’s Formal Wizard?

Wasn’t that only Wizard Heli? Although Lucien didn’t specify, it seemed he had said all that needed to be said.

"Tutor Lucien! We are willing to offer compensation, one that will surely satisfy you..."

Feeling Lucien’s indifference and impatience in his tone, Vina Boren’s speech hastened, her voice then turned mournful, and finally, she lay prostrate on the ground.

Lucien narrowed his eyes.

Feigning misery?

Showing weakness?

All these were insubstantial, he simply did not care about them.

Just as Lucien was about to take action, Carly stepped out from the carriage directly, bow drawn, arrow notched, even swirling with lingering Magic Essence.

Lucien glanced at Carly from the corner of his eye.

Reading the situation, Carly released her arrow, which struck near Vina’s head, the chill on the arrow even slashing Vina’s left ear, freezing the blood that seeped out and chilling her left cheek.

"This is still the wilderness, Ms. Boren," Lucien’s voice was cold. "By the way, when you go back, remember to send my regards to the Heli Wizard of your family."

"Yes... yes, Sir." Vina, sprawled on the ground, dared not move, only watching helplessly as the two carriages slowly moved away from her side.

She slowly raised her head, her complexion somewhat pale and her expression even more helpless.

The power of the arrow Carly shot was merely that of a second-level Wizard Apprentice, more a show of force than combat. If encountered in the wilderness, she could easily block it. But just now, she dared not move because Lucien’s spiritual power had firmly locked her in, making it clear to Vina that if she dared to move, Lucien would undoubtedly kill her ruthlessly.

"I must report back to the Heli Clan ancestor quickly..." Vina covered her injured left ear, but did not use Healing Witchcraft to heal her wounds, since she also needed to show her attitude and that of Lucien to the Heli Wizard.

Vina took out a Communication Crystal Ball and quickly connected with another crystal ball, "Sir, we failed..."

After ending the communication, Vina quickly crushed the Communication Crystal Ball in her hand.

Then she turned to look towards the direction of the Greybone Academy, her eyes showing a trace of nostalgia that quickly faded, replaced by a touch of resolution.

"Goodbye." Vina did not look back as she left.

She knew Lucien’s return would deal the old and decaying Boen Family one final heavy blow. Even if the Heli Wizard survived by chance, the days ahead for the Boen Family would be utterly miserable.

She would not sacrifice herself to sink with this cold-hearted family.

"Let it be a Wild Witch, then. Although it might lead to being hunted by the Greybone Academy, it’s still better than waiting to die within the academy," Vina’s eyes flashed with determination, then she cast a supportive witchcraft and quickly fled in the direction away from Greybone Academy.

...

"Failed." After crushing the communication crystal, the Heli Wizard picked up the "kerosene lamp" on the table.

Walking alone in the desolate castle, the silhouette of the Heli Wizard seemed ghostly, quickly arriving inside a hall already set with a huge wizard formation.

Within the formation, there were seven stakes, each with a wizard apprentice who was continuously twisting and struggling.

There was fear in their eyes, their mouths open but unable to make a sound, their bodies penetrated but with no blood flowing out, appearing in a very peculiar state.

However, as soon as the Heli Wizard entered, these people became somewhat restless. Some began to curse silently, while others closed their eyes, emitting silent sobs.
