Chapter 493: Valuable Exchange and the Dragon Slime
"Of course——"
Somewhat surprised by the price, Avis nodded. He originally thought that the price might be that he wouldn't be able to find Claire there.
As for the so-called weirdness, Avis didn't take it to heart at all. With his current strength, he didn't think that the so-called weirdness would pose any threat to him.
"Very good, next one."
Without saying anything, Nancy tapped the crystal ball from a distance, just as she had done before.
Then, a picture suddenly appeared in Avis's mind.
In the blue-black night sky, a full purple moon and a sky full of strange black stars hang high in the sky, and a light blue guiding star hangs far in the sky, indicating the concept of "direction".
The barren mountains and desert, dark purple in the moonlight, appeared as Avis watched.
Then, the height of the picture began to drop rapidly and sank deep into the earth.
In the dark cave environment, a blonde girl wearing a thick traveler's cloak and holding a magic lantern in her hand walked alone on a narrow rock bridge.
The bridge is made of a dark and solid rock, with no guardrails, and both sides of the bridge are like bottomless dark abysses.
The lantern emitted a warm yellow light, illuminating a small cone-shaped area in front of the girl. At the end of her path, a low rock palace was vaguely visible.
When Anvis saw this scene, the girl in the picture paused as if she had sensed something, and looked around, but did not notice anything unusual.
In other words, Claire is currently in some ruins in the dream world?
After receiving this information, Avis frowned slightly. This was not good news for him.
The difficulty of finding people in the dream world is much greater than that in the main world.
Different from the main world, the entire dream world level is composed of countless independent dream worlds 'surrounding' the main dream world.
And if you continue to trace back to the bottom, there is an endless deep dream space.
If Claire really was in some independent dream world, then the chances of him finding her quickly were not high.
As Avis was thinking, the images in his mind slowly faded, and the last scene was frozen on the back of the girl walking towards the low palace.
But at this moment, from the dark abyss on both sides of the bridge in the picture, some strange sight suddenly came along the disappearing picture, making Avis's spirit feel slightly chilled.
From the perspective of the other students who were watching from all sides, a strange feeling of coldness suddenly emanated from Avis' body, causing the temperature in the room to seem to drop a lot.
“Need help?”
Sensing something unusual about Avis, Nancy frowned slightly.
In her perception, the aura of this strange existence is at least above the sixth level. With Avis' current strength of the high fourth level close to the fifth level, it would probably be quite troublesome to deal with it.
Moreover, it has only been half a month since the other party returned to the academy. If an accident occurs again because of the price of the wishing spell, the academy will probably be in trouble when facing the Olivendi family.
"Thank you for your kindness, but I can handle it myself."
Avis waved his hand and smiled as he declined Nancy's offer. At the same time, a ring under his glove emitted a faint light, which quickly reduced the chill around him to an undetectable level.
"Okay."
Seeing this, Nancy glanced at his hands and said nothing more.
It’s at least a sixth-level magic ring, and it seems to be fully equipped. It’s really good to have money.
After a while, as the last student finished making a wish, Instructor Nancy once again explained the details that needed to be paid attention to in arranging the wishing ceremony and its specific spell concepts, and the wishing technique course officially ended.
After the class was over, the silver-haired female teacher closed the thick black book in her hands and disappeared in the same instant as she appeared. Many students left the classroom in twos and threes, and the students who had received the task would naturally be responsible for cleaning up the remnants of the ceremony.
"Honestly, Avis, this wishing class gave me a lot of inspiration! I think we might be able to work together!"
On the way out, Avis's mystic school classmate, the green-haired Becky, walked beside Avis, chattering about his thoughts. His light green slime pet followed his steps, bouncing and twisting above his head.
"The limited wishing technique is such a brilliant idea. Its way of fulfilling wishes has given me a lot of inspiration. Based on its principle, I can create a secret method to produce precious treasures in batches!"
"Oh, well... dear Mr. Becky, what great idea do you have that you want to bring to the world today?"
Listening to his words, Avis smiled politely and echoed him casually.
"It's about transforming from one extreme to another. You know, for example, using something that people extremely hate as a basis to transform it into something else that they extremely like. This fits the concept of 'valuable exchange' in the wishing technique."
"Can you be more specific?"
"For example, people hate dirty and smelly excrement, but they love all kinds of expensive and shining gems."
Becky raised her hand and gestured a little excitedly.
"Then, based on the idea of this spell, we can completely eliminate the wishing process. We can just use its 'valuable exchange' process to transform a pile of excrement into precious gems of equal weight!"
“…It does sound like a feasible idea.”
His eyelids twitched as he heard this. Avis stopped and looked at Becky's fanatical face.
"But is the value of the gems you create with this ritual worth the cost of the ritual materials?"
"If we remove the most valuable wish medium, the transformation should be able to succeed."
After being poured with a basin of cold water, Becky was stunned for a moment, but still refused to admit defeat.
"So, what's the price?"
"The transformation effect can no longer last forever..."
"I will notify the Family Chamber of Commerce and blacklist you and your gems permanently."
Anvis had a blank expression on his face, and he dispelled Becky's terrible idea.
"Don't! I'm just talking, if you don't think it's good, forget it."
Becky changed his mind immediately. If he was really blocked, he would have nowhere to cry.
"By the way, I remember you seemed to have a research project on dragon slime before, how is that going?"
As he walked, Avis suddenly remembered an experiment related to reproductive isolation that he had mentioned before.
“Well, the research is going very well. I have experimented with many types of slimes and finally found a special slime mother that can withstand dragon reproductive cells and successfully carry the dragon’s characteristics to split.
After extracting the special life fragments from it and fusing them with ordinary slimes, I obtained my first successful experimental subjects, such as my lovely little Bessie."
As he said this, he poked the little green slime above his head, which shook elastically and seemed very happy with this interaction.
"But, Anvis, why are you suddenly asking about this project?"
After interacting with her little pet, Becky became curious about Avis's reaction.
"Nothing, those foreigners will probably like this."
Glancing at him, Avis seemed thoughtful.
Gugu, something went wrong during the day, so I can only post at night today.
