Warlock of The Magus World (FanFiction)-Chapter 48

Although leylin was aware of this little girls situation, he still choose to make small talk with her. Ivy was from Langster Family, a warlock Family.

This Langster family was very small. Rumours have it that they held the inheritance to an incomplete meditation technique.

However, the thinning of the Warlock bloodline and the lack of an official Magus has made the family a lowly rated one in the Magus World.

Two hundred years ago, the incomplete meditation technique was lost in an unfortunate accident.

The limitations of Warlocks were in their bloodline, as they could only cultivate in meditation techniques suitable for themselves. Normal mind runes constructions of acolytes had no use for them.

Therefore, it was unavoidable that this family, which had produced no Magus, had deteriorated over the years.

If not for the few generations of heads standing their ground and accepting a few orphans to undergo acolyte training, it was very likely that they did not even have an acolyte in the family now.

As for Miles, he was one of these orphan acolytes, tasked as a housekeeper of the Langster family.

Just a month ago, the Yale family who was coveting the Langster family, declared war on it.

Apart from Ivy, all of the family members were killed in that war. As for Miles, he fought his way out to bring Ivy away, preparing to seek asylum with a friend of Ivy's parents in the Great Canyon Margaret.

Hence, Ivy who was in Leylin's hands was the final bloodline of the Langster family.

Even though leylin already knew about all this but he still felt a strange reaction from his blood when he listened to her.

' Do I feel this way because she is like me, someone with warlock bloodline' Leylin looked at Ivy once again, Leylin will not go out of his way to get rid of Sam Yale, The leader of Yale family but If he happens to come before him then that's a different story.

"Let's go!" Leylin grabbed Ivy's little hand and sat down on the carriage and set out towards his new destination

He prepared to bring the little girl to the Great Canyon Margaret. Even though he couldn't be bothered to get revenge for her, he will still not abandon her to die either.

Her destination : the Great Canyon Margaret , was one of the areas that Leylin had to go, so it was not troublesome.

"One more point, I have some interest in your family's bloodline. I require you to coordinate with me on some experiments, do you understand?"

When he spoke, Leylin felt Ivy's hands quiver noticeably

"As you wish! Lord! "

Ivy replied a good while later with a shaky voice.

"I adore intelligent and obedient children!" Ivy's obedience and ma

He gently stroked Ivy on the head. Although Leylin don't necessarily need her blood, it's still a valuable studying material.

"Mas… Master…" Ivy gently called out in a voice as small as the buzz of a mosquito.

After it become too dark to travel Leylin and group camp outside, 3 tents were raised : One was shared by Grenn and Dexter, one was for Ivy, and the last one for Leylin and Anna.

Beside the tent was a small fire, where bright yellow flames continuously lapped against a metal pot hanging above it.

A broth that contained some pieces of mushroom and beef-jerky was boiling in this metal pot.

Around the fire, there were many pieces of forked branches, which was used to grill several small fishes. There was also some barbecued meat, which frothed with tiny bubbles as the golden-yellow grease continuously dripped down, while the aroma of sizzling meat permeated the air.

The Ivy sat by the side, looking at the piping hot food, involuntarily gulping down her saliva.

Thereafter, she turned her head to look to the side.

There, on a patch of grass, a handsome, black-haired man sat cross-legged on a white sackcloth as he practiced meditation.

This person was, naturally, Leylin.

"This kind of vision… is it that of a serpent?"

Leylin's vision was affected by an emerald green tint.

Even though it was dark at night, Leylin could see everything.

Somewhere tens of meters away, there was a dog-like creature with red heat emitting from its body.

It somewhat resembled heat imaging.

"The path of Warlocks is to continuously tap into the origin of the bloodline and the process of remodeling of one's body..... researching Ivy bloodline will help me increase my knowledge about it.

"Master… The broth is ready…"

Seeing that Leylin had finished with his meditation today, Anna hurriedly scooped a bowl of broth and brought it to Leylin.

"You have worked hard!"

Leylin smiled at Anna and took the bowl.

Anna bowed and went back, She also distributed the Broth to other companions.

Leylin poured the meat broth into his mouth.

The warm savoury meat broth laced with bites of fresh mushroom excited Leylin's palette.

"This tastes pretty good! I guess you have not eaten yet too?"

Leylin looked at Ivy, looking at her grabbing the bowl yet not eating.

"Yes!"

Ivy softly replied. She helped herself to some dry rations and a bowl of broth.

Leylin looked at Ivy and let out the slightest sigh of relief.

If this was the past, Ivy would surely be treated like a princess by her own family.

However, this present way of living by roughing it out in the open would surely help her to mature quickly.

"After you are done eating, come find me in my tent. I need a sample of your blood!"

Leylin gobbled his food quickly and said to Ivy.

The underlying reason he saved Ivy was not just due to kindness but to use her Warlock's bloodline for his research too.

.....

Out in the wilderness, the night was freezing cold. Even the blazing bonfire was unable to dispel the chill in the air.

Inside the tent, however, it was much warmer — enough to make one feel slumberous.

Leylin waited for a few minutes and saw Ivy's silhouette shivering as she slowly got into the tent.

You could tell she was very nervous, her hands clutched tightly to her skirt hems, exposing her pale white ankles.

Fear was inscribed on a pair of beautiful eyes.

But it was as if her body was controlled by someone, as she advanced towards Leylin, step by step.

"Don't worry! It's very simple to take a sample, and it will not cause you any harm!" Leylin said, to try and pacify her.

"Please pull up your sleeve!"

Upon hearing Leylin's words, Ivy hesitated for a moment. She then pulled up her sleeve, revealing a length of her jade-white arms.

"It's going to hurt a little, but don't be afraid!"

Leylin took out a huge needle-like item from behind him and spoke gently to comfort the little girl.

Unfortunately, the little girl started to tremble even more severely.

With the girl's arm in one hand, Leylin stuck the needle into the exposed vein on her arm.

Ivy's face winced when the needle entered her vein as if she was about to cry but still forced herself to stay strong.

After drawing enough blood from Ivy, Leylin called Anna to take the little girl back to her own tent and be with her.

"Why does it feel like I was bullying a little girl?"

Leylin rubbed his chin as he looked at the needle in his hand.

No matter what, it was unsettling being on the receiving end of a "You bullied me" look given by a little girl.

"A.I. Chip, begin the experiment, and prepare the microscope…"

After being in a daze for several seconds, Leylin came to his senses and his expression turned solemn. His slender hands began to move expertly like butterflies treading and dancing through flowers.

Next morning, Leylin saw a pink liquid within the vulcanised tube and his expression looked unclear.

"A.I Chip, scan!" A blue light glowed within Leylin's eyes, falling onto the test-tube.

[Beep! Detected a trace of ancient creature's bloodline in the drop of blood. Pala Night Hawk! Unable to purify further!]

Ivy did carry a trace of an ancient bloodline, a pity that the inheritance of the Pala Night Hawk bloodline ends with her. The traces had already thinned to the absolute minimum and only a bit of aura could be extracted from her blood but it did not have many uses.

"From this density, even if Ivy was completely exsanguinated, or made to bleed some blood from time to time, it wouldn't be enough to even purify a single drop of the pure ancient bloodline."

However, Leylin did not feel particularly disappointed or anything similar to disappointment.

Leylin has something thah can remedy this situation. That is the Bloodline Crystals. He can use this to increase the Purity of bloodline.

'Looking at her density, Even if I exhausted all of my stash, she will at most only be able to purify her Bloodline to Level 3 Acolytes.'

Bloodline crystals is a rare item, especially in Southern Coast where the resources are scars. The idea of using such an item on someone to reach just Acolytes level is preposterous.

Leylin knows that he cannot help Ivy here, the price just simply outcast the results. She cannot use any other meditation techniques either, For her it's either a Warlock or a Bottom feeder.

" I can use this to further strengthen Fallen Star Pendant, this bloodline that carries a trace of the ancient creature's aura, adding on with some Bloodline crystals it will make an amazing item, they could aid in the modification of the Fallen Star Pendant…"" Leylin looked at the test tube. He will not mind using some Bloodline crystals to enhance his weapon, because it is also a part of his strength.
