Chapter 296 A leopard can't change its spots
"It's your mother's fault. If your mother had been more ambitious and become a certified wizard, you would be a descendant of a certified wizard."
"mom..."
Hein looked at Kelly, unsure how to comfort her.
Even at this point, Kelly was still worried about his safety, which made Hein feel quite uncomfortable.
Kelly coughed twice and said, "Hain, help me pack my things, I'm going to see someone."
"Now everyone has abandoned me. If I want to take care of you for the rest of your life, I need to find you a reliable backer."
"Mom, let's rest for a couple of days before going."
Hein quickly tried to dissuade him.
Kelly shook her head and said, "We can't wait any longer. My situation will only get worse every day, and if we wait any longer, I won't have the confidence to make a deal."
Haien said, "Mom, whoever you want to see, I'll go and invite them myself."
"Leo..."
Kelly said, "I'm going to see Leo; you can't possibly get him to come."
Leo's single room.
Leo sized up the guest in front of him, took a sip of the blood pressure-lowering tea, but didn't pour any for the person with the glare.
Kelly coughed twice and said, "A guest has arrived, yet you haven't even prepared tea for me. Leo, this is not hospitality."
"When friends come, I make tea. When enemies come, I take up my gun."
Leo said, "I think our relationship is more like the latter."
Upon hearing this, Kelly gave a wry smile and said, "That's true. Given our irreconcilable differences, such words are indeed inappropriate."
"In that case, I'll get straight to the point."
"Leo, I want to make a deal with you."
Leo said "Oh," and then said, "Tell me about it."
"You can see my current state; I don't have many years left to live. I hope you can take care of my son, Hein, after I die."
"Of course, I will leave him enough magic stones. You just need to protect him from being swindled out of his magic stones by other wizards."
Kelly said, "In exchange, after I die, I will donate my body to a necromancer. They are willing to pay 200,000 magic stones to take my body."
"And these 200,000 magic stones will serve as the price of the transaction."
Leo hesitated for a moment, then smiled.
Leo held up two fingers and said, "Two things."
"First, your son is a third-class wizard apprentice. Regardless of his age or temperament, he should be capable of standing on his own. If he can be tricked out of his magic stone, then I can only conclude that he is utterly hopeless."
"Secondly, the terms of the trade you offered are unequal. Two hundred thousand magic stones are equivalent to a month's salary for one of my employees."
"I don't need even a tiny bit of magic stone."
Kelly looked troubled and said, "You can name other conditions. As long as it's within my power, I will definitely help you make it happen."
Leo said, "There's no need. I'm not interested in a deal with you."
"Barbara, see the guests out."
Barbara, who had been waiting eagerly to see her, immediately stepped forward and said, "Envoy Kelly, please."
Kelly stood up and looked at Leo with a cold gaze.
That pitiful, kind demeanor, as if she had become benevolent on her deathbed, vanished completely.
"Leo, you're just a petty and narrow-minded wizard."
Seeing Kelly's expression change, Leo smirked and said, "I knew this old geezer would change his ways."
"And you're playing the victim with me."
"I'd love for you to die, so I can pop some champagne."
Kelly heard what was said next, but she could only snort coldly.
It’s different in the past.
Kelly used to be a towering figure that Leo could only look up to.
Every time Kelly picks a fight, it causes Leo a lot of trouble.
Now, Leo is a towering mountain that Kelly looks up to.
Even though Leo's attitude was extremely rude, Kelly had no choice but to endure it.
Because if Kelly retaliates, in the end, it will only be her son, Hein, who will suffer.
After Kelly left, Leo told Barbara to leave, then he looked thoughtful and said, "While Kelly, that old hag, doesn't deserve any sympathy, her situation is something I really need to learn from."
"At the first-class wizard apprentice stage, just because I've mastered combination spells doesn't mean they're mine. There are probably many full-fledged wizards who will be eyeing my combination spells."
"Therefore, I must avoid demonstrating my combination spells in front of formal wizards as much as possible."
"Otherwise, if my combination spells happen to be the same combination spells they are researching, then they will turn their attention to me."
Leo quickly remembered the Seven-Colored Dragon Bloodline ability he was about to master.
Perhaps, as Stoffen said, the bloodline ability of the Heart Demon Dragon is useless to him, and he is not interested in it.
But what about the Seven-Colored Dragon bloodline's abilities?
Leo didn't think Stoffen would be unmoved by this bloodline ability, which wasn't even recorded in the entire library of the Tower of Dawn.
The reason Stoffen is currently being friendly to him is because of the Dragon Blood Purification Potion, and also because he doesn't believe that Leo would choose to modify bloodline science as the core of his magic, just like him.
Leo pondered the core of the spell.
Other formal wizards, no matter how talented they are, will not have a wide range of expertise. So even if they have learned many common non-combination spells, they will still choose one subject as the core of their spells.
Leo is different. He has a manual, so no matter which field he chooses, the only thing he lacks when it comes to constructing and combining spells is whether he has the aptitude for it.
Based on this, Leo's nine spell pyramid combination spells can be completely customized to suit individual needs, focusing on enhancing the combat experience.
The spell pyramid requires only nine types of combination spells, or ten if you include the Permanent Defense Field. However, this does not mean that Leo can only master a few thousand types of combination spells during his first-class wizard apprenticeship.
"No matter what, I will try my best to avoid revealing my combination spells even if I encounter battle in the future."
Leo thought to himself.
In his single room, Leo opened the calendar.
There are only a few days left before the time Stoffen promised to help him collect bloodline abilities.
"Two combined spells, 3000 mana pressure..."
"A complete set of potions of perfect quality."
"Research on the flying pumpkin of the dead has been put on the agenda."
"The research of the wizard Anthony has also entered its final stage."
Leo pondered for a moment, then said, "The preparations are complete. However, I still can't relax. In the Tower of Dawn, there are now official wizards watching me every day. Especially the wizard Beth from before; he hasn't contacted me yet, and I wonder what he's planning."
In the Tower of Dawn, in the central area of Beth's research lab, stood a beautiful woman.
This beautiful woman had long, golden waves in her hair and fair, almost translucent skin.
