Chapter 33: Devil's Music
Luo Xi's current mental strength is far from enough to support a spell of this scale. A water ball with a diameter of more than ten meters is something that only a wizard can move.
Luo Xi was able to use it forcefully because of the geographical advantage. He took it directly from the lake and avoided the process of gathering water elements, saving him 90% of his mental energy loss.
In addition, Luo Xi's own magic level is also an indispensable and important factor.
Water Ball Technique: Mastered.
With the help of the system, he has mastered the spells to a very high level of proficiency, and the water ball spell has reached the mastery level.
The geographical advantage and his own excellent knowledge of spells allowed him to cast this spell, which is almost at the energy coefficient of a wizard, with the strength of a high-level apprentice.
A few minutes later.
"Huff!~Huff!~" The heavy panting sounds echoed by the lake. Luo Xi knelt on one knee on the lakeshore with his wand, looking very tired.
It was still too difficult to mobilize this level of energy. Luo Xi felt as if his mental strength had been drained away, and his entire head suddenly became dizzy and extremely tired.
After a short rest, he stood up and looked towards the lake.
But over there, the lake water had carried Joseph's body to the surface. At this time, he had returned to his original human appearance, with his eyes wide open and his eyeballs bulging outward, as if he died with his eyes open.
Although it seemed that Joseph was dead, Luo Xi still did not approach rashly.
Many wizards have many strange ways to save their lives. They can survive even after piercing the heart or even chopping off the head. There is no way for humans to determine whether a wizard is dead.
Luo Xi stared at Joseph's body, concentrated his mind, released his mental power outwards, and transformed it into tentacles extending out.
I checked it up and down with my mental power, but didn't feel any signs of life. The most important thing was that there was no mental reaction at all.
"It looks like he's dead."
A wizard without any mental response is like a human without breathing. But think about it, Joseph is at best an advanced apprentice, and those weird methods are far beyond his ability to master.
Thinking of this, Luo Xi finally felt relieved. He summoned a gust of wind to blow Joseph's body to the shore. Then he took out a pair of leather gloves, put them on, and began to examine the body in front of him.
"Is this the dark wizard?"
This was Luo Xi's first time dealing with dark wizards, but he had heard a lot about this group when he was in the castle.
According to the definition of the Alliance, they are a group of people who have deviated from the orthodox path of wizards. They are paranoid, cruel, crazy, and extreme. They will use any means to benefit themselves.
Things like attaching some powerful monster's limbs to oneself or forcibly injecting some ancient blood into the body are mostly done by dark wizards.
Because of this, many dark wizards are severely polluted, have horrible appearances, are insane, and are on the verge of physical and mental collapse.
"The heart and spleen have been replaced, and there's a special opening on the stomach. Is this because it can't digest food?"
Joseph in front of him was a typical example. Luo Xi saw more than one knife wound on his body, one on the chest and one on the lower back. It was obvious that the organs inside had been replaced. There was also a zipper-like opening on the stomach that could be opened at any time.
“Too extreme!”
Although such excessive body transformation can bring oneself great strength in the short term, it will inevitably be full of dangers when advancing.
On Joseph's body, Luo Xi quickly found a small cloth bag. The unique spatial fluctuations showed that this should be the space pocket that Joseph carried with him.
The spiritual imprints of the space pocket are all related to the user's spiritual power. When the user's spiritual power disappears, the imprints on the space pocket will naturally collapse, and Luo Xi's spiritual tentacles will enter the pocket without any hindrance.
And this sight made Luo Xi immediately happy.
The space pocket was about two cubic meters in size. The first thing that came into view was a pile of magic stones in the corner. Luo Xi tapped them roughly and found that there were more than two thousand of them.
“It’s so unexpected!”
It has been three years since Luo Xi came to the wizarding world, and all his belongings are only a few hundred magic stones, which he spent all on preparing for this journey.
But now, I have easily earned two thousand magic stones. This feeling is really comfortable.
"It is true that no one can become rich without unexpected fortune!"
Luo Xi then turned his gaze to the side of the magic stone, where there was a notebook with a black cover. Luo Xi picked it up and took a look. It was a magic notebook, which recorded some contents related to demonology. Perhaps Joseph's spells came from it.
There is also a badge next to the notebook. The head on the badge is a devil's mark, with a row of small words below: Devil's Melody.
Luo Xi frowned: "Devil's Movement? I haven't heard of this name. Is it a dark wizard organization?"
Like white wizards, dark wizards also gather together to form organizations. Some of the larger dark wizard organizations even have influence that is no weaker than the Alliance.
For example, the dark tower entrenched in the dark forest has the strength to compete with the elemental castle.
"If that's the case, then what's the purpose of these guys doing this? They can't be so bored that they want to murder a human earl, right?" Luo Xi wondered.
The madness of the dark wizards was just an illusion. They did everything with a strong purpose. Luo Xi couldn't understand what benefit they would gain from killing a human earl.
Since Joseph is a wizard, it is unlikely that he is after the title. After all, for a wizard, even a dark wizard who is hated by everyone, the identity of a human noble is nothing worth wasting his energy on.
It would be easy for a supernatural being to kill a human being, so why would he use a curse and delay for so long? Could it be because he had some personal grudge against the Count? But it didn't seem like that. "Forget it, let the castle investigate."
After thinking about it for a while and having no clue, Luo Xi put the matter aside. It was not within the scope of his mission anyway. He would report the situation to the castle and the castle would send someone to investigate.
Finally, he looked at the space pocket again. There were still some miscellaneous materials in the pocket, which added up to about a few hundred magic stones.
After returning to Blackrock Castle, Luo Xi immediately wrote a letter, recording the events roughly, and then entrusted Carol to deliver the letter to the Misty Forest.
These are special letters marked with the spiritual imprint of the castle. Just hang the letters on a tree in the Misty Forest and ravens will come to pick up the letters and deliver them to the Elemental Castle thousands of miles away.
Because it involved dark wizards, the castle's reply was quick. On the third day alone, an owl came to Rosie's window and asked him for details.
Luo Xi told Owl the whole story in detail. He only embellished a little on the part of defeating Joseph and concealed the strength of his senior apprentice. He explained everything else truthfully.
"Thank you for your cooperation, Apprentice Luo Xi. For your outstanding performance, the Elemental Castle will give you appropriate rewards in the future."
After throwing down a blank promise, the owl flew away with Joseph's body.
