Chapter 245: Chapter 131: Grandmother
“Before that, we need to sign a contract… to ensure that the content of the conversation that follows will not be leaked.”
“Agreed.”
Ronan nodded, realizing that he was about to delve into the true secrets of Cold Stone Manor.
Lady Livi offered a slight smile, then her rose-colored lips parted slightly, starting to chant a peculiar and difficult incantation in a low voice.
The faint ripples of spiritual power spread out with her chanting, and the originally bright light in the room dimd gradually with the sound of the spell, until finally, only a beam of light enveloped Ronan and Lady Livi, surrounded by darkness, making the atmosphere of the room turn mysterious.
“..May the gods of contracts and oaths bear witness… Livi Estrella Kaczynski..”
As the last syllable of the incantation fell, a complex and twisted dark pattern appeared in the air in front of Lady Livi, her gaze settling on Ronan.
Ronan didn’t reveal his true na, but calmly lifted his hand, releasing a whiff of soul essence.
Their soul essences poured into the dark pattern in the air, which quickly turned gold as if burned by flas, then swiftly dissipated.
A simple soul contract was thus established.
“Now we can talk, right?”
Ronan felt a grain-sized mark added to the nail of his left pinky finger, and the attitude of Lady Livi before him seed to undergo so subtle changes.
Wizards trust soul contracts as ordinary mortals believe in the sun, the moon, and the stars hanging in the sky, and once a soul contract between wizards is signed, their relationship becos invisibly closer.
“Of course.”
Lady Livi exhaled lightly, smiling at Ronan, “Lord Linus must understand the pros and cons of Talent Transplant, right?”
“Yes.”
Ronan nodded, briefly explaining the side effects of Talent Transplant he knew, and then heard Lady Livi say, “Yes, but that’s just a ‘lie’ woven collectively to the outside by all the Wizard Families of White Stone Castle.
The Talent Transplant array, after generations of perfection and refinent by nurous wizards of White Stone Castle, has long been able to accomplish Talent Transplants without contaminating spiritual power and soul power, and the number of transplantable tis has also reached three or more…”
“Oh?”
Ronan’s gaze flickered, and he asked bluntly, “Conditions?”
“It really is convenient to talk to soone as smart as Mr. Linus.”
Lady Livi chuckled, “The conditions are not harsh.
As long as your lordship can stay in the manor for a year to do a few things for , I can perform three Talent Transplants for you for free… hmm, if you want to transplant the Talent of the Cold Scaled Python, we should have it ready in a couple of months…”
Ronan flatly refused, “These conditions are too harsh, I cannot accept them.”
Talent Transplant was not sothing he desperately needed, and there wasn’t much difference between one transfer and three transfers… To serve soone for an entire year for that? And to miss the trial at the Mirror Court, it’s not worth it.
“Then I think you probably won’t find it harsh after adding what I’m about to tell you next…”
Lady Livi said faintly, “I possess the real technique for Bloodline Transplant, which is far more powerful than any ‘Talent Transplant’, and it’s almost permanent…”
“Bloodline Transplant?!”
Ronan’s eyes trembled, intensely staring into Lady Livi’s eyes, speaking softly, “Is the Lady jesting? Or does she realize what a true Bloodline Transplant ans?”
“You don’t need to teach that, a little Level 1 fellow..”
Lady Livi’s face showed amusent; she lazily toyed with the gemstone ring on her finger, nonchalantly speaking, “If you don’t believe it, we can sign another contract.. Oh right, do you still rember You Jike? He just had a Bloodline Transplant of Second-tier Ice Waterfall Bear, with the power of this Bloodline he can dominate among the interdiate Level 2 wizards, and challenging Late Stage Level 2 also isn’t impossible…
The condition to have you stay in the castle for a year is also for your benefit.. Different people might experience various changes in their bodies after transplanting different Magic Beast Bloodlines, good and bad. By staying under our supervision, it allows us to promptly make various adjustnts for you.
And it’s convenient for us to record so data..”
“So this ‘Bloodline Transplant’ technique isn’t yet perfected, right? Like You Jike, who’s just a bold experintal subject…”
Ronan narrowed his eyes, finally understanding where the rumors of the monsters near Cold Stone Manor ca from.
His guess wasn’t wrong; Cold Stone Manor had probably been experinting with Bloodline Transplants on humans for a long ti now, and those who disappeared near Cold Stone Manor…
Of course, the process might not have been as dark as he imagined.
Ordinary people, Wizard Apprentices of average strength, might have been forced and coerced into experintation.
But for Level 1 Wizards and above, it’s most likely, as in the case of You Jike, a voluntary act after signing a soul contract.
After all, for many wizards, the flesh is just a vessel, and in the pursuit of greater power, even becoming a “Monster” in appearance is not unacceptable.
“Truly perfect Demon Beast Bloodline Transplant, it’s not so easy to achieve…”
Lady Livi looked at her nails, speaking faintly, “To obtain extraordinary rewards, naturally, one has to assu corresponding risks.
Compared to the gains after success, these risks are really insignificant…”
