Chapter 71: Chapter 67: Troublemaker, Bloodline Curse
“Ahh!” Lucien pounded the ground vigorously but soon cald himself. Gritting his teeth, he continued to flee with Peach, whose body was now sowhat stiff in his arms.
…
“Adeline’s friend has run far away again…hehehe…” Lilia’s voice ca from the doll in her hand, sounding like a little girl cooing.
However, combined with the performance of this doll nad Adeline, that seemingly cute and charming child’s voice felt eerily uncanny.
“A curse-type Witch Tool…” Lucien hurried along the road while stealthily observing Lilia’s actions, paying special attention to what seed to be a powerful cursed Witch Tool.
“Identification requires 50 reverence points, proceed with identification?” When Lucien used the system’s identification feature on the doll nad Adeline, it popped up the highest identification fee he had encountered so far in the identification module.
Lucien couldn’t help but pause slightly.
Normally, identifying a zero-order Witch Tool would cost between 10 to 30 reverence points. This doll, however, required a full 50 points for identification, which indicated that, compared to other zero-order Witch Tools, it must possess so unique or powerful attribute!
“Identify.” The more so because of this, the more Lucien wanted to know about the capabilities of this Witch Tool. With a thought, he proceeded to initiate identification.
[Detection of higher-tier Spiritual Field on the item may trigger alertness in the subject, continue?]
Just then, a prompt like this popped up on the system panel, causing Lucien to slightly startle.
A high-tier Spiritual Field? A Formal Wizard?
“Cancel.” Lucien glanced at Lilia leading the way in front and couldn’t help but heighten his vigilance inwardly.
As far as he knew, Lilia didn’t have close relations with any Formal Wizard; otherwise, she would not have been assigned to this mission in the first place.
Yet now, one of the Witch Tools Lilia possessed contained a trace of spiritual power from a Formal Wizard, which was a significant piece of information.
Surveillance? Oversight? Or ddling by another Formal Wizard?
While he analyzed this internally, he maintained an impassive exterior. He even took the opportunity to share so knowledge about the Fairy Clan with Carly next to him and taught her so combat tips.
“The Forest Spirit clan excels in archery, possessing a special ability known as ‘Heart Eye,’ which lets them lock onto opponents within a certain distance through inner perception,” Lucien explained to Carly.
“This is sowhat similar to your archery Talent. However, they need to be relatively close to use their Heart Eye ability, making your Talent even stronger than the Racial Talent of the Forest Spirits.”
Carly blushed slightly at Lucien’s praise.
“However, when facing a Forest Spirit, the best tactic is to prepare defensive witchcraft or Witch Tools. Aside from their bows, they lack other strong offensive thods…”
As Lucien spoke, they passed a vine stained with blood, and he casually cleaned the blood from the vine and collected it into a tube. “Carly, next ti you encounter blood, collect so too. Gathering various strange research specins will do you no harm.”
Although this drop of half-Fairy blood was almost worthless and could not extract any Fairy Bloodline, as a research specin for studying half-Fairies, it made for an excellent material.
…
“They’re coming after us again!”
“Impossible, Uncle, we chose this spot to intercept them because your abilities could see through the Fog Tide. They shouldn’t have been able to follow us!”
“Quick, put Peach down. Quick!” the older half-forest elf seed to have realized sothing, urging Amu earnestly.
Amu was stunned, but quickly grasped sothing. Although reluctant, he complied with his uncle’s urging and set down the now partly wooden-bodied Peach.
“Although she can’t return to the tree tomb to take root, she will be reborn in the forest…” The elderly half-forest elf gently stroked what had beco of Peach, now resembling tree bark, then grabbed Amu and ran ahead swiftly.
“Adeline found a friend! Teeheehee…” Not long after they left, a young girl’s cheer ca from behind them.
“Peach…” Amu, the half-forest elf, had his fingernails dug into his flesh, his eyes filled with crimson.
“Hurry! If they catch up, escaping will be difficult!”
…
“They say that after a Forest Spirit dies, its body turns woody, eventually becoming an ordinary plant. I never imagined the rumor was true,” Lilia said, admiring the Forest Spirit’s body that now resembled a humanoid plant.
“This one is my collection,” Lilia glanced at Lucien next to her. In her view, as she used a Witch Tool to successfully kill this half-forest elf, she naturally laid claim to the larger share of the spoils.
“Alright, but I need so blood for research,” Lucien nodded slightly, though he also made his condition clear.
“Here you go.” Lilia said nothing more, simply waved her hand, and suddenly a large clump of blood materialized, floating in the air, while Lucien quickly processed it using rudintary witchcraft, placing it into two large test tubes.
[Identifying {Half-Forest Elf Blood} requires 10 reverence points. Do you wish to identify?]
“Identify.” Lucien paid the reverence points without hesitation, and after a brief pause, the system also quickly provided a detailed identification report.
[Item]: Inferior Forest Spirit Blood
[Category]: Bloodline·Hybrid·Fairy Class
[Description]: Ordinary blood obtained from a half-forest elf, containing fairy bloodline. Using special thods for purification can yield extrely rare fairy blood.
[Details]:
1. Bloodline ratio [Human: Forest Elf: Great Fairy: Moon Spirit: Other] = 32.1: 39.4: 17.9: 5.1: 5.5 (%)
2. Bloodline carries a severe bloodline curse…
…
“That explains it.” After reviewing the identification result, Lucien sowhat understood why these half-fairies exhibited such unusual behaviors.
In short, they were a group of half-fairies suffering from a particular curse.
From birth, the mbers of their race inherited this special curse due to their bloodline. The curse would grow as they did, accompanying them throughout their lives like a parasite.
And clearly, there might be a special place on Kosai Island that could lift their curse—the Fairy Baptism Pool!
