Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Resurrection Ceremony

For a mage or wizard, owning a Magic Tower is something they dream about.

Even though Wallace once had the power of a first-order Bloodline Wizard, he never had a Magic Tower of his own. When Song Jian said he was willing to build a Magic Tower for him, it made Wallace excited and grateful, raising his appreciation to a new level.

System: You promise to build a Magic Tower for Follower “Bloodline Wizard- Wallace”; his favorability towards you greatly increases, and the relationship between you and Follower “Bloodline Wizard-Wallace” is elevated to Admiration!

“Just by making a promise, I can greatly increase the favorability of my Followers?” Song Jian laughed and thought to himself: “That’s so simple. Maybe this is a loophole, a way to quickly increase favorability for Followers or even NPCs.”

However, Song Jian also knew that this promise, over time, would lose its effect very quickly if it was not realized. The favorability would drop even faster and more than how much it had increased, perhaps eventually turning the relationship with the Follower into hatred and ultimately leading to betrayal.

This shortcut, though fast, had more severe consequences if not handled with confidence, especially when making promises to NPCs or one’s followers.

“Alright, let’s go and check out your resurrection ceremony first.” Song Jian stood up and said with a smile.

“Master, I have one more request!” Wallace knelt on one knee, his head bowed low.

“What is it? As long as it’s not too much, I will agree,” Song Jian said.

“Master, I know there’s a Blood Pool in the basement of the Manor Castle…” Wallace said nervously, “If the body I am going to fuse with my soul can be soaked in the Blood Pool for some time, it would help me recover my strength greatly.”

“Blood Pool?” Song Jian furrowed his brows and asked after a moment of contemplation, “How did you know there’s a Blood Pool in the basement?”

The basement was a forbidden area, which Song Jian used as a safe keeping place for items from his inventory that he didn’t need at the time.

Even the butler George didn’t know about the basement, let alone Wallace. In the entire Manor Castle, apart from Song Jian, the only other entity that possibly knew about the existence of the Blood Pool was the Blood-chilling Shadow Tree Alex.

However, Alex was usually in a dormant state and would only wake up when enemies invaded the Manor Castle. Moreover, Alex couldn’t communicate with anyone else. So how did Wallace learn about the Blood Pool? Did he sneak into the basement when Song Jian wasn’t looking?

With this thought, Song Jian’s expression became stern, and he stared intently at Wallace, waiting for an explanation.

“Master, after I created the body with the Black Dragon Bloodline, I tried to fuse with it once. Although the effect wasn’t great, I suddenly gained a special ability when I entered the body,” Wallace said quietly, “I seem to be able to sense the existence of the blood slaves on the territory, and I can also communicate with the blood wolves…”

” What, you can sense the existence of blood slaves?” Song Jian’s face showed a surprised expression. The blood crows that served as scouts and the blood zombies and blood wolves that served as guardians were thought to be Song Jian’s summons, and others didn’t know about the existence of the Blood Pool.

Moreover, these blood slaves would only obey one person’s command – the person who built the Blood Pool. And since mastering the “Blood Pool Summoning Skill,” Song Jian had grown deeper with these blood slaves. In the depths of their souls, Song Jian’s mark had been engraved, allowing him to annihilate the blood slaves with a single thought – preventing them from being resurrected.

“Can you order them to do things?” Song Jian asked seriously.

“No, I can’t,” Wallace said nervously. “Right now, I can only communicate with the blood wolves, while I can only vaguely sense the existence of the blood crows and blood zombies due to their low intelligence and inability to communicate.”

“So, it was the blood wolves that told you about the Blood Pool?” Song Jian asked in a deep voice.

“Yes, Master. I was curious about the blood wolves with red fur, and I accidentally asked one of them about their origin, which is how I learned about the Blood Pool,” Wallace lowered his head even more, his soul body trembling slightly.

“Alright, I understand. You have my permission to use the Blood Pool!” Song Jian contemplated for a long time and decided to observe for a while longer. After all, Wallace was once a first-order Bloodline Wizard, and both his strength and knowledge were something that Song Jian longed for.

Song Jian was now at level 22, and reaching level 30 wasn’t that far away for him. Once he reached level 30, Song Jian would have to undergo the test to reach the first-order Combat Power, and Wallace’s experience in this area would be of great help to him.

“Thank you, my Master!” Wallace was so excited that he knee-walked a few steps and gently kissed Song Jian’s boot.

“Let’s go take a look at your laboratory first, I presume your resurrection ceremony will be held there?” Song Jian glanced at Wallace and asked.

“Yes, Master, it’s there!” Wallace replied.

With a thought, Song Jian’s figure vanished and reappeared inside Wallace’s laboratory.

As he entered Wallace’s laboratory, Song Jian felt a sense of resistance, as if some mysterious force was trying to prevent his entry.

In this lab, Song Jian had complete control over the entire Manor Castle and all its surrounding territories.

After entering the lab, he frowned and looked around. At this point, Wallace’s lab seemed to be enveloped by a semi-transparent shield of energy. On the surrounding walls, there were hundreds of complex golden runes with pulsing lights, like breathing, connecting them mysteriously.

“Is this… a Magic Defense Array?” Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.

Although he could see that this was a magic defense array set up by Wallace, he didn’t know specifically what kind of defense array it was. He was still severely lacking in knowledge about magic – he could only recognize one or two of the golden runes on the walls.

After waiting in the laboratory for a while, Wallace’s soul body passed through the wall. Upon seeing Song Jian, Wallace greeted him nervously.

“I’m sorry, Master, I forgot to turn off the magic defense array!” Wallace said nervously.
