Chapter 20: The Quick Learner Class of Mages

  After saying this, Xilang Oke raised his hand and two magical medals were placed on Gua Guo and the dog-headed man named Mang Dun.

  If Gua's physique is a slender and tall type, then Mang Dun's physique is completely a short and sturdy type. If it weren't for the scales on his body, some people would even believe he was a dwarf. At this moment, in his hands were two hatchets covered with minced meat and bone fragments, which were not quite the same size, apparently they were his own broken or lost weapons, and then seized from the enemy as spoils of war.

  There were seven or eight wounds on his chest and body, with the most serious one being on his chest. Even the white bone membrane inside could be seen. His body also had a faint red glow that was slowly flashing, as if it was leaking electricity. From time to time, there would be flashes of light, making him look like a damaged Terminator.

  However, with the Medal of Magic falling on his body, the wounds on Mang Dong's body and the uncontrollable aura were brought under control. The wound began to heal slowly, and the aura was also reined in within his body, no longer running wild everywhere.

  When the medal fell on Gua's body, Gua's brain seemed to be suddenly thrown into the water, with a general feeling of looking up at the water, everything became dizzy and distorted. Especially the black-robed grandmaster in front of him immediately became even more majestic and powerful, as if he had an extra circle of sacred light on his body, making him even more worthy of reverence.

  He immediately knew that this was the effect of the magical medal, and it was a mind-affecting charm. However, he still bowed down and said: "Thank you for your kindness, master! We will definitely be loyal to the death!" Another dog-headed man, Graundor, also seemed to have been affected by the magic, kneeling on the ground, crawling out and making dog barks, then went to kiss Xarath's shoes, that affectionate appearance made people blush.

  The whole set of movements made by the madman is the highest courtesy of a dog-headed person, indicating the most thorough subjugation. Originally still thinking he was in control, Gua suddenly became stupid and didn't expect such an outcome. Having received modern education, he couldn't do something like this at all.

  Xirong Oktokha burst out laughing, as if he had just seen a very funny joke, and then said: "Bluebeard, come with me." He walked back to the entrance of the second floor cave, and Gua Guagua hesitated for a moment before following him, standing behind Xirong Oktokha. In a flash of light, they disappeared from the first floor hall and reappeared on the second floor.

  The second floor of the previous building had no windows, but it could be seen that there was very natural light inside, not at all darker than the first floor.

  Here are many books, neatly placed on the magic bookshelves, which shine with magical light. Behind each bookshelf is a metal pipe that converges in the middle and falls onto a huge crystal ball. Underneath the crystal ball, which constantly flashes under the power of magic, three dog-headed men are bound up. The top of their skulls have been opened, and there are metallic threads on their brains, constantly sparking. The metallic threads are connected to the crystal ball, apparently under the effect of magic, continuously extracting the contents of the magical books.

  Gua's face suddenly turned cold, his fists clenched involuntarily, and even his breathing stopped for a beat. Xiran Oktomer glanced at him silently and said, "These three dog-headed people are the little friends who were previously tested to have the talent of a technician."

  Kuwa was shocked to see all of this, his teeth chattering loudly, but he still hadn't exploded in anger. Tusi and the other two dog-headed people with magical talent were tightly bound next to the crystal ball, twitching nervously as the electric current surged through them, and some kind of special medicine was flowing through the tubes, seemingly struggling to keep the three little dog-headed people from fainting, forcing them to endure this suffering while remaining conscious.

  "Our time is limited, we must cultivate enough manpower as soon as possible." Xilang Oktō gazed at Gua's expression calmly and continued: "In the next period of time, I will quickly connect the foundation of this mage tower with this land to facilitate the absorption of magic power.

  Because the big battle just now has used up all my magical storage, if the enemy comes again, we can't defend it. Under my hands are either unstable-minded dog-head people or guys like Harick who have muscles under their skull. So I need you to grasp the overall situation during my closed-door period."

  Gua's expression became even more astonished, and he suddenly turned his head to look at Xiran Octo, wanting to see some inner meaning from his face.

  He never thought that this great master would actually entrust such an important matter to him. "If you want your tribe to survive, then do as I say."

  "You can't escape this castle, and you won't be able to survive outside either. But once we succeed, the entire Vasa will be under our control." Xiran Octo stretched out his slender hand and stroked the crystal ball that was surging with electricity, as if he had dipped it into warm water, making Gua's eyes jump straight up.

  "Now that this matter is settled, you will become the leader of all Dog Heads, helping me to develop the resources of the North Land. And I, in turn, will awaken your Dragon Vein, making you a formal practitioner, a true practitioner." Xilan Oktos said, looking at Gua's eyes towards Tusi and others, apparently worried about becoming a terrible monster like these three Dog Heads. "A normal, steadily growing Dog Head practitioner, not this hastily produced product that focuses on magical knowledge. In addition to the power of the Dragon Vein, I also need a capable assistant with his own consciousness."

  Xirong Okt stretched out his hand and a blue electric current fiercely struck Gua, directly forming a new chain armor on his body, with ferocious electric shackles on his wrists and ankles. "If you obey me, these shackles will protect you; if you dare to resist me, they will take your life at the first opportunity."

  Gua swallowed his saliva and by this time he had no room for resistance, so he could only bow down and say: "I obey your command, my great master..."

  Xī Lǎng· ào Kè Tuō stretched out his hand and popped it, a black key flew up and fell on Gǔ Guā's body. The blue electric current caught the key in an instant and hung it around Gǔ Guā's neck like a necklace. This key fell on Gǔ Guā's neck, making him feel as if he had been put on a dog chain around his neck.

  He touched the black iron key with disgust. A strange feeling rose up, this was probably magic.
