Headshot Wizard - Chapter 48

Chapter 48 The Servant

“Are there any new people here? Come in!”

A drake-like voice came from the cold room.

Lance stood outside the door and glanced at the man in black behind him. After he was escorted into the small boat by the man in black named Number Seven, he was sent to the castle. The gloomy scarlet castle is obviously much larger than the Viscount’s castle. Along the way, Lance and the men in black didn’t know how many times they went around before they came to this dungeon-like place.

Lance noticed that where he was, there were two rows of low-rise houses on either side. The doors of the houses were now wide open with locks on them. Simple daily necessities are placed in each room.

What made Lance even more horrified was that when he walked along the road, he found that the movements of the man in black were very stiff, and even when he was walking, his knee joints were basically not bent, as if he was rubbing away.

Lance also tentatively said a few words to him, but the other party didn’t pay attention to him at all, just urging him to move forward blindly, like a living dead who only knew to execute orders.

“Hurry up!” The person inside urged, “I have to assign you tasks after finishing the procedures. Don’t think about being lazy, Scarlet Castle is not another place, there is no room for lazy people and rubbish.”

Lance took a deep breath, and the curse of the poisonous snake on his wrist was aching. He forced a calm mood and walked in.

Compared with the humidity outside, this room is relatively dry.

A weird man sitting in front of a desk with his head down, holding a pen in his hand, was struggling to write.

Lance walked over.

The man suddenly raised his head and grinned at Lance.

However, Lance was taken aback!

Because he saw that person’s head, it was actually a dog’s head!

Different from the kobold described in the wizarding world’s monster illustration book, the guy standing in front of Lance’s eyes is obviously an ordinary human, but his facial features and head are very mutated, and he is a fierce hunting dog.

“Boy, look at me with this look, and I will goug your eyes!” the kobold said viciously.

A chill rose from behind Lance, and he sighed in his heart, and said to himself: “This guy, at least, has more than 70 magic power! Is he an advanced apprentice?”

“Say your name.” The kobold took out a piece of paper from the drawer, wrote a few pens, and then asked.

“Lance.”

“Unbearable name.” The kobold murmured, and a hint of sarcasm flashed in his eyes: “In fact, no matter what your name is, you will never want to go out here. I am too lazy to write your name. Yes, just call me melon No. 3, my favorite food.”

After that, he scribbled a line on the paper.

Lance clenched his fists. At this moment, the poisonous snake curse on his wrist suddenly became hot and began to stimulate his nerves.

“Warning! An unknown neurotoxin is spreading inside your body!” The fox said hurriedly: “Because there is no medical-related sub-chip, I cannot eradicate it.”

“The best solution to this problem: amputation.”

Lance gritted his teeth and calmed down his anger. The curse of the poisonous snake ceased immediately.

“Presumably you can feel the horror of the curse of the poisonous snake, right? Old Sonny has been sitting at the back door of Scarlet Castle for 176 years. He has taken in many wild wizards. No servant has ever been able to escape from Scarlet Castle. The rule. A few smart people managed to earn enough magic stones and became self-financed, but most of them stayed here forever.”

The kobold sneered unkindly: “When you walked over, you should have seen those houses too? Those rooms are for your servants. It is not enough to describe it as a dark day. Staying in this environment for a lifetime , Can you be willing?”

Lance was moved in his heart. It stands to reason that if this guy is just going through the formalities, why should he talk so much nonsense to himself?

He pondered for a while, and suddenly his heart brightened, and he whispered: “I want to ask your Excellency. I wonder if the man in black outside can understand our conversation?”

Kotou showed a strange smile, shook his head and said, “That’s just a flesh and blood puppet. Not even a zombie. He doesn’t understand our conversation.”

“Oh? In that case, I have some strange demonized items here. I would like to ask you to help you identify them.” Lance took two steps forward, quietly placed two magic stones on the table, and pushed them to the other end of the table. . But he said: “The magic power of these demonized items is too strong. I am afraid I can’t identify them. I hope you will take them back for more time to identify them.”

The kobold smiled hesitantly, and took the two magic stones quietly.

He licked his lips and said, “It’s rare to have a wild wizard like you. Generally speaking, those who are caught here to serve as servants are all paupers. It looks like you have some wealth, but the distance is a hundred. There is a considerable gap between magic stones, right?”

Lance gave a wry smile and spread his hands.

The kobold sneered, and suddenly rolled up his sleeves, revealing a huge blue-gray mark on his wrist, and said grimly: “Did you see it? This is the price of trying to escape the Scarlet Castle secretly! For the sake of your wit, I kindly remind you, don’t try to get rid of the control of the old dwarf by other than self-financed means!”

Langston was shocked when he saw that the “curse of the snake” on the kobold’s arm was many times larger than his own, and it had spread from his wrist to his arm.

“Every night, it will happen again as a punishment for trying to escape from here.” The kobold man silently closed his sleeves, continued to write a few strokes on a piece of paper, and then said to Lance, “I have On, there are still a few places for slavery free of labor for the time being, but well…”

Lance frowned, and the kobold was too greedy. Could it be that he made the other party more greedy because of his lavish shots?

At the moment he smiled bitterly and said, “My lord, I don’t have any more magic stones on hand.”

The kobold smiled happily: “The free quota for the first month without labor is available to many servants who want to buy it. The price is clearly marked with three magic stones. If there are none, then I’m sorry, Mr. Lance, I want to give You have assigned work.”

Lance hesitated for a moment, and asked in a low voice, “Can you show me what the servants need to do every day?”

The kobold said readily: “No problem.”

After that, he pulled out a list from the stack of papers on the side and handed it to Lance.

Lance just glanced hurriedly. Although his face was still cold and calm, he gasped in cold air!

【task list】:

a. Collect more than three purple star ore every day. Work location: 3rd floor underground in the back mountain mine of the castle

b. Use your own magic power to pour [Quinn Aman] three times a day, and the magic power shall not be less than 8 points each time. Work location: Hanging Garden East District

c. Become a living experiment subject of spells of a second-level wizard. Work location: Western Experimental Tower

…

There are a lot of tasks that are eloquent below, but each task is very scary, and it is not done by humans at all!

Lance estimated that if these tasks need to be completed every day, then basically all his energy and magic will be consumed, and there will be no opportunity for meditation to improve.

No wonder Kotou said that few people have been able to get rid of the status of servants over the years. This is simply a bottomless pit!

“Quinn Aman is a very terrifying magical plant. It is said that it needs to be raised with the blood of a wizard apprentice in order to survive. I am bleeding like this every day, and I am afraid that I will be dead in less than a week.” Lance’s face was very ugly, and he was in his heart. I thought: “And becoming a second-level wizard is even more useless. Hicks has told me a long time ago that the wizards in Scarlet Castle are very evil, and their experiments are definitely killing people.”

None of the tasks here can be accepted, otherwise there will be no way to survive.

While Lance was hesitating, the kobold said coldly: “Don’t hesitate, with my authority, I can only delay one month for you. In the future, even if you give me 30 magic stones, I I can’t help you procrastinate either. Only in the first month can I figure out how to do something about it.”

Lance gritted his teeth and suddenly said with a serious face: “If I give you three more magic stones, can you really save me from the first month mission?”

The kowloon said grimly: “Do you have any other choice besides trusting me?”

Lance narrowed his eyes and stared at the funny dog’s head. A strange light flashed in his eyes. At that moment, the kobold felt unwell, as if he was locked in by something.

“I choose to believe in you.” He took a deep look at the other person, and the eagle eyes were already open. If the kobold has a tendency to break his promise, he will fight the snake curse to explode, and kill the other person!

Lance once again took out three magic stones and handed them to the kobold man.

The kobold showed a greedy look. He put away the magic stone, licked his lips, his eyes gleamed, “You are really rich!”

Lance said coldly: “It has nothing to do with you.”

Kotou received the money, but he also did practical things. Soon he scribbled a few words on a piece of paper, then took out a metal nameplate and gave it to Lance.

“This is the uniform nameplate of the servants of Scarlet Castle. Everyone who walks in the castle must wear a nameplate that symbolizes his identity.” Kotou explained: “I have completed the procedures for you. Within the first month, You don’t need to come to me. But after a month, you have to officially start to work, otherwise the snake curse on you will kill you.”

“Now, you can go. Follow this path to the end, and you can find the mission hall. There, you can borrow missions with nameplates. After completing the missions, you will earn a lot of magic stones. Although I don’t believe You can earn enough tuition for self-financed students in one month, but I wish you good luck.”

Lance took the nameplate, put it in his pocket, and suddenly asked, “Will you be discovered by the old dwarf if you do this?”

The kobold smiled coldly. He divided the five magic stones Lance gave him into two, one with four, and the other with only one. He threw the four pieces into a brazier with green flames on the side, and the four magic stones disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Well, the old dwarf is done.” Kotou said.

Lance nodded. It turned out that this old dwarf bought the big head, and the kobold man was just an executor.

He just wanted to turn around and leave, but before he left the house, he stopped again: “I have another question I want to ask you.”

“Say it!” Kotou was a little impatient.

“The one who caught me in Scarlet Castle was a vulture with a servant nameplate. Do you know him?” Lance asked calmly.

The kobold sneered and said, “Your luck is pretty bad. It turns out to be Panthas. If you want revenge, I advise you to give up this idea.”

“That guy is the most powerful of all the servants. I heard that he will soon earn enough magic stones to become a self-financed student.”

“His magic power has reached more than 90 points, and he can attack the second-level wizard at any time. You are not his opponent.”

Lance nodded thoughtfully, said thank you, and left the cold room.
