Chapter 72 A Huge Uproar
Lin Wei tilted her head slightly, her eyes somewhat unfocused, ignoring his last sentence, and muttered to herself, "This thing is that powerful? I remember that letter was signed Ms. Rowling, like it was written to a child. But why wasn't the letter delivered?"
"Never mind, this kind of good stuff should belong to me. It seems that advancing has also increased my affinity with water elements." Lin Wei's lips curled up slightly, his eyes revealing joy.
"Your Excellency, what's your decision? Quickly take me as your servant." Moro's body trembled slightly, his eyes filled with anticipation, and he said impatiently.
Lin Wei remained calm, pulled up a chair and sat down beside him, crossing his legs and resting his hands on the armrests: "Tell me about your background first."
"Alright." Moro nodded hurriedly, his face full of a fawning smile. "I come from the House of Amazing Haunts, a wizarding organization in District 13 of the West. I was a second-class wizarding apprentice in the Shadow faction. Unfortunately, two hundred years ago, my teacher used me for experiments, and my physical body was destroyed. My remnant soul is barely stored in this magic lamp. This magic lamp is my storage bag, and it was also the most valuable thing I had in my life."
The 13th District of the West?
A haunted house?
Shadow Faction?
Lin Wei frowned slightly, listening blankly, knowing nothing about wizards.
However, it doesn't sound like a good thing at all for a disciple to be used as an experiment by the teacher... Lin Wei shook his head slightly, showing sympathy on his face.
"So you've lived in this magic lamp for two hundred years?" Lin Wei leaned forward and asked curiously.
"Yes, the lamp oil has run out. I'm only alive because of my hatred for my teacher." Moro realized this, his teeth grinding together as he spoke through gritted teeth.
"If you're willing to keep me by your side, I'll do anything. I can even become your maid for your pleasure, are you interested? Whatever your fetishes, I can satisfy them, even becoming a catwoman or a mermaid is fine." Moro twisted his body, making various gestures, trying to attract Lin Wei.
"Oh, right, a mantis spirit will do too. I've analyzed its life structure and can crudely imitate it, if you like," Moro continued to tempt.
"Get lost." Lin Wei frowned, his stomach churning, and he almost vomited up what he had eaten last night. He quickly waved his hand to shoo him away.
……
Half a day later, Lin Wei still left with the magic lamp, without signing a master-servant contract with Moro.
Lin Wei only promised to avenge his teacher if possible. Moro was moved to tears, knelt down, and kowtowed heavily to the ground, vowing never to betray him.
However, Lin Wei did not believe in the oath, so he wrapped it in a mithril box that he had prepared in advance, holding the box tightly with both hands to prevent it from coming out easily. He would only release it when he needed to question it.
"Take care. Remember to come to Maple Leaf City. I've saved a house for you." Lin Wei opened his arms and hugged the Nightingale Knight who was seeing him off.
"Thanks to you, it will." The Nightingale Knight trembled slightly, a gentle smile on his face as he spoke softly.
In the past few days, she has made dozens of trips to transport the gold and silver jewelry of Bloodfrog Castle, leaving her with a sore back and aching waist, but her face is full of joy. The total value is estimated to be over two million gold coins, which is several times more than the money she has saved in her entire life. Even if she does not become a merchant knight in the future, she can live a wealthy life.
Lin Wei didn't ask any questions throughout the process. The Nightingale Knight knew that this was all in gratitude for her past care, and that she even planned to give him a valuable house.
This is Lin Wei's philosophy of life: a drop of kindness should be repaid with a spring of gratitude. When he was short of money, the Nightingale Knight unconditionally secured many forging orders for him, saving him a lot of time in his development over the years. Lin Wei has always kept this in mind.
"I'm leaving." Lin Wei waved and turned to walk away.
"Okay, you can go now." The Nightingale Knight stood there, his eyes filled with reluctance.
Watching Lin Wei disappear like a gust of wind, the Nightingale Knight stood there for a long time, his expression complicated.
……
On the way back to Maple Leaf City, Lin Wei's mood was somewhat complicated. His brows furrowed slightly, and his steps seemed a little heavy.
"I suddenly possess an ancient inherited witch array, which is not a good thing." Lin Wei calmed down and began to think, his eyes filled with worry. "Moro was used by his own teacher for experiments. If the wizards find out that I have such a great opportunity, I will really be skinned alive."
Lin Wei knew the principle that possessing a treasure is a crime. He was a practitioner of the conservative and steady approach, and his hands unconsciously clenched, his eyes becoming firm.
"My greatest opportunity actually lies in the Rubik's Cube; there are still three sides to unlock. So, I'm afraid I can't show this water arrow to anyone else. Moro, being just a wizard apprentice, was able to see its uniqueness at a glance. Wouldn't other wizards see through it in no time?"
"Two words: Danger!" Lin Wei frowned, his eyes filled with seriousness, his lips slightly pursed, and he said in a solemn tone.
"Besides, I haven't even figured out this Water Arrow technique myself; I've just been using Deep Blue Face to grind experience." Lin Wei scratched his head helplessly, a wry smile on his face, and shrugged.
"In short, Moro can't be released. Kardashian isn't a witch, so this thing is useless against her. She should be fine." Lin Wei stroked his chin, his eyes thoughtful, and muttered to himself.
"Moro also gave me an address where the Lamplighter might be selecting potential wizards, but two hundred years have passed, and he still doesn't know the specifics." Lin Wei paused, took a deep breath, and continued, "According to him, the selection is still about two years away, and even if I go now, I won't be able to find the Lamplighter. I need to practice my breathing techniques more; that's the foundation for my future. I still have several thousand experience points left in the Steel Poison Mantis Breathing Technique, and I need to cultivate it to level six."
This battle with the Blood Frog Prince made Lin Wei fully realize just how powerful the combined effects of practicing multiple breathing techniques simultaneously were. It was something that practitioners of single breathing techniques could never match. Lin Wei clenched his fists, his eyes flashing with excitement, and he secretly resolved to cultivate even harder.
A few days later, a few wispy clouds drifted across the sky, and a gentle breeze carried a hint of coolness. Lin Wei returned to Maple Leaf City. Looking at the familiar and peaceful streets, and feeling the tranquility of Maple Leaf City, his tense body finally relaxed, and he let out a long sigh before quickly disappearing into the basement.
"Steel Poison Mantis Breathing Technique, let's begin." Lin Wei's eyes were resolute as he sat cross-legged on the ground and began to circulate the breathing technique.
……
While Lin Wei was focused on his cultivation, a huge uproar had already broken out in the outside world.
The dungeons of Bloodfrog Fortress were dark and damp, filled with a pungent stench of blood and decay. The floor was covered in stains and debris, and the walls were crawling with moss.
There stood a long row of dozens of princes, each with a different face, most of them with grim expressions, furrowed brows, and eyes that revealed anxiety and anger.
