from the wizarding world

Chapter 107 The world about to be hunted! [2 updates, 6000]

"Father, why don't we sell this store, if we continue like this, it will be too late to regret it in the future." The young woman persuaded.

The woman's name is Yuffie, Yuffie Baroque.

At this time, she was persuading her father, Samir, who was also the manager of the small shop they were in now, and the heir of the Baroque family.

The current patriarch of the Baroque family is the old patriarch Odd Baroque, who is over 800 years old, and the reason why he is still the patriarch at this age is not because he is reluctant to take this position, but because the younger generation is too disappointing.

The heirs changed one after another, but none of them broke through to a high-level wizard apprentice, so they had to keep changing.

Samir is the latest heir, so he is also in charge of the most important industry of the Baroque family - the Baroque Alchemy Workshop in Central City!
In fact, the Baroque family does not only have this alchemy workshop, but the meaning of the central city is completely different from other places.

This is the real center of the Eighth Blood Prison!

Regardless of the small scale of their small shop in the central city, it is incomparable to any baroque alchemy workshop in other places, and only a few people are enough to maintain the operation of the shop.

But its value is higher than the sum of the other twenty baroque alchemy workshops!
The reason is also very simple, the central city is very expensive, and it is hard to find a store.

As the core of the Eighth Blood Prison, the central city is naturally not comparable to other places. The number of shops here has always remained the same, so if you want to open a shop here, you can only spend a lot of money to buy it.

It's just that most of the people who can open shops here are not short of money, and the business in the central city is usually very good, so there must be a profit.

Therefore, those wizard families who are newly rising and want to prove their status will spend a lot of money to buy shops in the central city as a status symbol.

This also makes the prices of shops here surprisingly high, and the rent is also a very exaggerated figure.

A declining wizard family like the Baroque family is logically not qualified to maintain the Baroque alchemy workshop in Central City. It is also thanks to the fact that the Baroque family does have two brushes in alchemy, so it can be maintained forever. This store, so that it will not have operational problems.

But recently, it seems that someone has been eyeing this Baroque alchemy workshop in the central city, and has sent messages to the Baroque family through various channels, either to honestly sell this shop at the market price, or to wait and see.

Originally, the Baroque family didn't care too much, they just thought it was the other party talking harshly.

But as they encountered various troubles in the past few days, they suddenly remembered the previous warning.

Now even the old patriarch Ode is planning to admit defeat, but only Samir is unwilling to admit defeat, wanting to see if there is a turning point.

However, just a few days ago, his only son suddenly disappeared, which completely messed him up.

Although he didn't have any evidence to prove that this incident was related to the person who threatened the Baroque family behind the scenes, he knew the truth was the case.

The reason why the other party did not plunder by force is only because the central city has the rules of the central city, which prohibits the use of force to plunder the property of the central city.

This is not empty talk, but a rule set by the Eighth Prisoner himself. Anyone who dares to violate it can give it a try.

Not to mention those newly rising wizard families, even the veteran wizard families of the Eighth Blood Prison, or the hundreds of lords, who would dare to disobey the rules set by the eighth prison master?
Had it in the past, so died a miserable death.

Of course no one would dare to do such a thing anymore.

The reason why Samir felt able to hold on before was because he knew that the latter did not dare to attack the Baroque family easily, but now that the other party made his son disappear in this roundabout way, he really has nothing to do.

Yuffie kept persuading her father because she was worried about her younger brother.

Now the main figures of the Baroque family have actually agreed to sell the alchemy workshop in Central City, and Samir is the only opponent.

As long as he changed his mind, everything would be smooth sailing.

Jingle bell--

The sound of wind chimes coming from the door of the store attracted the attention of the father and daughter.

Only then did they notice that there were a few more guests at the door, and one of them was very familiar.

"Uncle Samir, Cousin Yuffie, long time no see." Chevala, who had just entered the door, immediately recognized the father and daughter and greeted them.

"You are... Cheva LS Mir recognized each other.

"It's me." Chevara nodded with a smile.

……

After a short reminiscence, Samir and the others learned that Chevala had now taken refuge in this wizard apprentice named Rorschach, and Chevala also learned of the troubles the family had encountered recently.

"No matter whether you want to sell the store or not, you can't negotiate in such a passive situation, otherwise you are doomed to be slaughtered." Luo Xia also expressed his opinion at this time.

"I think what the Lord said makes sense. Cousin Dean must be rescued first." Chevala also deeply agreed.

However, Yuffie was a little dissatisfied when he heard the words, "Cousin Chevala, are you here to make trouble? Obviously, all the problems can be solved as long as the store is sold out, and Dean can come back safely, so why bother?"

"Yuffie, why are you talking to your cousin!" Samir scolded his daughter with some dissatisfaction.

"Isn't what I said right? My little brother's life or death is uncertain. Isn't the most important thing to do now is to ensure his safety?" Yuffie reasoned.

"But... well."

Samir sighed, his tone full of helplessness.

His only son is likely to fall into the hands of others, so how can he not be in a hurry, but the problem is that his other identity is the heir of the Baroque family, so he must consider for the family when making decisions.

For the safety of his son alone, he can't do such a thing without disregarding the interests of the family.

But what his daughter said was not unreasonable, which put him in a dilemma...

"If you really want to save your little brother so much, why don't you take us to him directly?" Luo Xia asked suddenly at this moment.

"What?" Yuffie panicked for a moment when he heard this, but he quickly returned to normal and pretended nothing happened.

However, Chevala had already heard Rorschach's implication immediately, and looked at Yuffie with a solemn expression!
Having been with Rorschach for so long, he knows how accurate Rorschach's eyesight is.

Even the black bone wizard who is the majestic second-ring morning star can't escape Rorschach's eyes, let alone other people?

Therefore, even though Rorschach's accusations against Yuffie were extremely severe, even involving the destruction of personality, Chevala still didn't doubt it.

"Is there some misunderstanding, Your Excellency Rorschach?" Samir tried to calm down, "Yuffie is Dean's biological sister, and the relationship between the two has been closer than most siblings since they were young. It is impossible for him to be unfavorable to Dean. .”

"Don't talk too much, Your Excellency Samir, I am sure that I will say this." Rorschach said lightly, "Yuffie, you have to think clearly, after the scene is over, you will not be able to use you." I will definitely abide by the previous promise, are you sure you can keep track of Dean's situation?"

Yuffie's expression was a little cloudy, but her reaction already made Samir's heart thump!
How could he not understand his daughter? Yuffie's reaction was already tantamount to admitting what Rorschach said earlier.

The disappearance of his son Dean is actually related to his daughter?
"It's a crime..." Samir only had bitterness in his heart.

At this time, Rorschach continued: "I heard Chevala introduce the situation in the central city before, and I heard that it is not allowed to plunder other people's property by force, so if you think about it, you know that the people behind the scenes will really take risks. Do you also want to kidnap your son at the risk of being settled by the eighth prison master?"

"In my opinion, this is undoubtedly not worth the loss. In comparison, it is definitely more cost-effective to let you fight each other."

"Even if you were accidentally stabbed out, it was because of your Baroque family's internal struggle, not their plundering with external force. Then tell me, who is the easiest to take your son away without making a sound?"

Hearing this, Samir looked at Yuffie and said, "Is that you?"

Yuffie: "They said that only in this way can you, father, recognize the reality. If you continue to fight, the only thing waiting for you, father, is a dead end."

Snapped!
Samir slapped him across the face, and said bitterly: "Would you rather trust outsiders than your own father? If it really gets to the point where I can't do anything, I will naturally give up. Do you need to do this?"

"I..." Yuffie covered her cheeks, which were already full of tears.

"Stop crying, go find someone first, and wait until Dean is brought back!" Chevala also shouted directly at this time.

"Okay, okay." Yuffie replied with sobs.

When Yuffie led a group of people to the place where her younger brother Dean should be, the place was already empty, so there was no Dean.

Samir was furious at this moment: "Where are people?!"

Yuffie's face was pale: "I don't know, little brother should be here..."

She finally realized that she was probably being tricked.

The other party never trusted her from the beginning to the end, and just wanted to use her hands to trick her younger brother Dean out, but she still believed it.

"Then what should we do now?" Yuffie was a little anxious.

She didn't really want to harm her brother in doing all this, but believed that doing so would be better for her father and better for the family.

Reality taught her a lesson.

On Luo Xia's side, he didn't bother to pay attention to whether she was crying or not, because he was only doing Chevara a small favor.

However, Luo Xia went straight to the street next to him, seemingly casually grabbed a passerby's hair, and slipped him over.

This inexplicable move made Samir very astonished.

However, the next moment he was even more astonished, because he heard Rorschach asking: "Where did you hide him, tell me quickly, don't waste time."

"I don't understand what you're talking about at all. Why do you arrest people so casually? I'm going to report you to the judge!" The man was anxious.

"He knows where the person is, you can find a way to ask yourself." Luo Xia was too lazy to act with him, and directly threw the person to Samir.

At this time, Samir would not easily doubt Rorschach's words, even if he did not obey them.

So when Rorschach said that there must be something wrong with this person and that he knew where his son was, Samir directly gave this person what he had learned all his life.

In the end, the man found out where Dean was, and Samir quickly sent someone to fetch his son.

……

"Thank you so much this time, Rorschach. If it weren't for you, I would have become a family sinner." Samir said gratefully.

"You're welcome." Rorschach shook his head.

"By the way, are you also here to participate in this 'Blood Hunt'?" Samir asked suddenly.

"The blood hunt is about to start again?" Chevala was taken aback when he heard this.

"Yeah, it's about to start in less than two months. When you came, didn't you realize that there are a lot of people in the central city?" Samir said.

"It seems to be true. I thought it was my illusion. Is it because of blood hunting? It's no wonder." Chevala rubbed his chin and said.

When he said this, he suddenly noticed that Rorschach was looking at him.

Only then did I realize that my master is not from the blood prison world group, and it is normal to have never heard of blood hunting, so I immediately explained to him:
"The so-called blood hunt is a periodic sacrificial ceremony that is held every hundred years in the eighth blood prison... During the blood hunt, the prison master will choose a small world attached to the eighth blood prison as the target of the blood hunt, allowing all who are willing to The wizard apprentices who participated in the blood hunt entered it to complete the sacrifice."

"How to do it?" Rorschach's voice sank slightly.

"It is natural to hunt and kill all the creatures in that small world, and use their blood to sacrifice to the boundless blood prison." Chevala introduced calmly, "During the blood hunt, every time one more creature is hunted, the blood energy accumulated will also increase." There will be more, and the more powerful the blood, the more energy they can provide."

"In the end, the blood hunting ranking will be determined by the amount of blood energy. Usually, the top [-] can get generous rewards, and the top ten can even get the opportunity to enter the 'eighth blood pool'. That is the real reward." The main event!"

"The eighth blood pool is certainly not comparable to the legendary boundless blood pool, but even formal wizards can gain huge benefits from the eighth blood pool, and it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for wizard apprentices!"

When Chevara said this, he couldn't help showing a look of longing on his face: "If a high-level wizard apprentice can enter the eighth blood pool, they will basically try to break through the boundaries in the near future and attack the official wizard, and the success rate is higher than that of the official wizard. Under normal circumstances, it is more than a hundred times higher..."

"Using a world as a hunting ground, just to complete a routine sacrifice." After listening to Chevala's explanation, Rorschach couldn't help but fell silent.

For a person like Chevala who was originally born in the Eighth Blood Prison, he would not understand Rorschach's feelings at this time.

The small world that Chevala talked about is actually a world like the gray domain, but the gray domain is attached to the gray tower world group.

While Chevala was vividly describing the splendor of Blood Hunting, what Rorschach was thinking was that if one day all members of the Water Blue Star descended on the Gray Domain, and after that, the Gray Domain would also usher in an event similar to Blood Hunting. event.

At that time, what should he do?
Of course, this is just a hypothesis, and it may not actually appear, but don't forget that both Grayland and Aquamarine are just the experimental grounds of the 'Star Throne'.

When all members of Shui Lanxing replaced the players, no one could predict what the opponent's next move would be.

Even if it took ten thousand steps back, Rorschach could not care about the life and death of Shui Lanxing or everyone in the gray domain, but he himself was still a member of the replacement.

Can he really avoid this kind of trouble?
In this regard, he was actually not sure at all.

Originally, when he heard the content of Xueshun, he still felt a feeling of unbearable in his heart, but when he thought that Huiyu and Shuilanxing might encounter this kind of situation in the future, he realized that he was not qualified at all. Here sympathizing with others, his ridiculous pity is worthless in the face of survival.

"Master, do we want to participate?" Chevala looked at Rorschach.

"Why not."

Luo Xia calmed down the turmoil in his heart, and pondered, "This is a once-in-a-hundred-year opportunity. Since you happen to meet it, there is no reason to miss it. Even if you don't win the top ten in the end, it's good to be in the top [-]."

"Understood!" Chevara said enthusiastically.

"The specific procedures will be arranged by you. Before the official start, I plan to retreat once. If I can go further, I will be more confident." Rorschach said to Chevala.

"No problem, my lord, you can rest assured that you are going to retreat, just leave these trivial matters to me." Chevala patted his chest and assured.

Rorschach nodded and said no more.

Chevala is still very reliable in this regard, and he doesn't need to worry about it.

He himself started a new retreat. Although the duration was less than two months, he hadn't had so much free time for a long time.

During this retreat, on the one hand, he sorted out his path of purgatory knight, on the other hand, he naturally focused on purgatory meditation.

Although he is in the blood prison world group, he will really put his consciousness into the dimension of purgatory when he meditates, and the effect of meditation is not exaggerated.

It's been a while since his purgatory meditation technique advanced to Lv. 4, but this retreat gave him further time.

After he retreated for a month, the purgatory meditation technique had already moved from Lv.4 to Lv.5, and continued to move towards Lv.6.

Almost a few days after his breakthrough, he sensed that the replacement was coming. This time, he chose the replacement without any hesitation, because the most lacking thing for him now was time.

When he returned to Water Blue Planet, he didn't meet anyone and spent all his time meditating.

This is actually somewhat inconceivable to other people, because as we all know, it is impossible to fuse blood or even condense spiritual seeds on Shuilanxing.

Including meditation, because it is impossible to perceive the six eternal realms of the wizarding world, it is almost difficult to improve.

But Rorschach is different.

No matter where he is, he can put his consciousness into the purgatory dimension, and he even condenses the spiritual seeds on the water blue star.

If he could hold his breath and not waste any time every time he changed back to Water Blue Star, it would be equivalent to spending a lot of time in meditation and training out of thin air.

Two months later, Luo Xia returned to the Eighth Blood Prison again.

At this time, he has advanced the Purgatory Meditation to the second half of Lv.5, and it may not be long before he can officially enter Lv.6.

At that time, he will really be only one step away from becoming a high-level wizard apprentice, and this is actually just a paper change in his realm.

As a purgatory knight, he is also practicing purgatory meditation. The core of both of them is actually the power of purgatory!

The only difference is that one side uses the power of purgatory to polish the physical body, while the other side combines with spiritual power to create new evolutions.

But this high degree of homology allows him to explode with power far beyond the book realm in any aspect!
This is also one of the reasons why he dared to participate in the blood hunt!

Although he didn't say anything to Chevara, he was aiming for the top ten!
The more he saw the cruelty of the wizarding world, the more he realized that he was not qualified to stop, let alone sympathize with anyone.

This blood hunt, he is bound to give it a go.

Even if the eighth blood pool might not be useful to him, he had to experience it before, what if it was useful?
If you miss this village, there will be no such shop.

……

a few days later.

"The number of people participating in the blood hunt this time should be the largest in the last ten sessions. It is said that the rewards will be more generous than in previous sessions. Even if you don't make it to the top [-] in the end, you can still get a group blood baptism..." Chevala patiently told Rorschach the information about this blood hunt.

In the past month or so, he has done a lot of preparatory work.

Including but not limited to collecting all information about Blood Hunt, especially this year's information, has become the top priority of collection.

Not to mention, he did collect a lot of valuable information.

In addition, he also borrowed the baroque alchemy workshop in the central city to refine dozens of alchemy props to save his life.

Most of them are high-level alchemy wizard tools!
As for the cost, Uncle Samir reimbursed him directly without asking for a penny.

This can be regarded as reciprocation, thanks to Rorschach for helping to find his only son Dean.

After finishing a series of various preparations, the blood hunt is finally about to start!
On this day, the entire central city is buzzing!
As a sacrificial ceremony once in a hundred years, even those who don't participate in the blood hunting are still looking forward to it, because you can see part of the blood hunting process, and you can even see the changes in the blood energy of the top [-]!
Such a feast, of course, cannot do without the opening of the market.

In short, this is like a grand entertainment event. Although it is for the sacrifice of the Boundless Blood Prison, it is also a carnival!
Everyone can participate, and everyone can get what they need.

Rorschach and Chevala are just inconspicuous members, because there are really enough people involved.

There are more than a thousand senior wizard apprentices alone!

The middle-level wizard apprentices can't beat the five-fold increase. On the contrary, the number of junior wizard apprentices is even less than the middle-level wizard apprentices.

This is of course not because the Eighth Blood Prison lacks junior wizard apprentices, but because most junior wizard apprentices still have self-knowledge, knowing that they cannot compete with those high-level and intermediate wizard apprentices.

If you go, you will be used as cannon fodder, it is better not to go.

Moreover, during the blood hunt, their real enemies were not yet each other, but the natives of the chosen small world.

Usually, the small worlds that can be selected as the target of blood hunting are not unchallenging, and there is absolutely no lack of high-end combat power that can fight against high-level wizard apprentices, otherwise there will be no suspense in this process.

This is not in line with Xuehun's original intention.
