Chapter 49



49 Spell-like (1)

The fire Orange looked similar to an orange.

However, it emitted a strange smell from the inside.

With the vision of aura observation, Roger could see that every Fire Orange tree was filled with a soaring blood aura.

Its thickness was comparable to the Scarlet tide corpse Empress.

He groped his way deeper into the orchard with a grave expression.

There, he discovered a large number of traces of manual harvesting.

“It seems that Cindy didn’t lie to me.”

Humphran has been growing these fire oranges.

in order to attack dragon’s tooth village, he’s really ruthless. He’s even willing to do such a crazy thing.

Roger was very clear.

These fire oranges were prepared for the refugees from the marsh.

The refugees from the marsh were originally the descendants of humans who had survived the disaster.

Under the pollution of magic power over the years.

Their brains and torsos were severely deformed.

Therefore, most of the refugees had also mastered some “magic-like” abilities. (Note 1)

These spell-like abilities were naturally child’s play compared to real spells.

At most, it could only be called a ‘play’.

Even the strongest of the refugees lost their ability to cast spells after throwing two or three ” small fireballs “.

Therefore, the magical abilities of the refugees from the marsh had never been worth mentioning.

But in the last conflict with dragon’s tooth village, Cindy found that the magic-like abilities of the refugees had been greatly enhanced!

Humphran had even set up three “-type mage groups “.

They directly followed humphran’s orders and used spells similar to the elements, causing a lot of damage.

According to Cindy’s calculation.

The destructive power of a ” group of mages ” was equivalent to that of a normal mage at the peak of the first circle.

This was very abnormal!

The magic-like abilities of the refugees had been going on for decades. Even if there was room for improvement and improvement, it would not have appeared so suddenly.

The problem was with this fire Orange.

After a few months of investigation by Cindy …

She discovered a shocking fact-

Eating fire oranges could greatly strengthen the spell-like abilities of the refugees.

With a little training, an ordinary refugee could become a member of a ” group of mages.

And taking a large number of fire tangerines in a short period of time could push this strengthening to the extreme.

But everything came with a price.

Taking fire oranges would greatly shorten the already short lifespan of the refugees.

The refugees from the marsh land could generally live up to 30 years old.

However, after taking the fire oranges, many of the refugees had already died from the bursting of the tumors on their necks.

It was said that his death was extremely tragic.

..

In fact, dragon’s tooth village had originally wanted to migrate normally.

But humphran blocked the way to the East.

Not only did he have a ” mage group ” in his hands, but he also had the ballistae he had traded from the duergar.

The latter was sitaroya. It was what muse was most afraid of.

No matter how powerful her bloodline was, she was still a young Dragon.

If he was not careful, he would be slaughtered.

Humphran himself also had a power that the young Jade Dragon was afraid of.

That was why the migration of dragon’s tooth village had been delayed.

Originally, this situation could have continued to be in a stalemate.

Until humphran had accumulated enough power to launch a full-scale attack.

But Roger’s appearance changed everything.

..

Taking advantage of the night, he left the orchard.

Roger wore the shadow cloak and sneaked into the village of the marsh refugees.

Compared to the common reed thicket, the buildings here were in a slightly better state.

Most of the time, the people who lived inside seemed to be awake.

But compared to Mount Tong town …

It was more like a Goblin village.

“What?”

“There’s a fire … There’s a line up ahead?”

Roger reached over carefully.

In front of him was an open land, possibly a small square.

The two lines, one on the left and one on the right, were proceeding in an orderly manner.

Everyone was quiet.

This was not common in the settlement of the marsh refugees.

Roger observed for a while and found that most of the people in the left line were men, while the people in the right line were all women.

Men were generally above the age of 15.

Women, on the other hand, were under 15 years old.

The youngest one looked to be only a little over 10 years old.

The terminal for the men’s queue was a basket of fire oranges.

The person in charge of distributing the fire oranges was a big man with a face full of scars.

The tumor on his neck had expanded rapidly.

His movements were Swift, and he spoke quickly, ”

“Next,”

“Quick, next.”

The people in line took turns to come forward and collect their items before leaving.

Roger noticed.

Every refugee could receive two fire oranges.

Everyone who received the fire mandarin oranges couldn’t wait to swallow them, not even willing to peel them.

“The next one …”

Scarface was still talking when a loud bang suddenly came from the side!

The head of a man who had just collected fire oranges exploded without warning!

A large amount of blood spurted out.

Some of it splattered on Scarface’s lips and face.

The latter licked his lips and spat. Then, he wiped his face with his unrecognizable clothes.

“Next,”

He said.

The team slowly moved forward.

There was no commotion, no sound.

Only the numb faces of the refugees remained.

Roger silently watched the headless body.

He was unable to speak for a long time.

..

He left the men’s queue.

Roger approached the other team.

Compared to the men’s numbness and hunger, this team’s situation seemed to be a little different.

Although it was very quiet.

But Roger could clearly feel that these girls ‘faces were full of longing and joy.

This group led to a large house.

There were even guards at the door.

These guards also looked emaciated.

Roger sneaked over.

Along the way, he heard the girls whispering, ”

I heard that after becoming Lord humphran’s bride, you can receive a small basket of fire oranges at once.

“Then I won’t have to starve.”

I really hope I can work harder and give birth to a few more children for Lord humphran …

Roger stopped in his tracks.

It wasn’t that the girls ‘words had a huge impact on him.

Instead, he saw a ” gem of truth “!

This thing was very effective against invisibility-type abilities.

He was not sure if the shadow cloak could hide from the effect of the gem of truth.

After hesitating for a while, he chose to take a roundabout route and went behind the big house.

Using the cloud ladder, he climbed up the high fence and carefully looked into the courtyard.

Coincidentally, at this moment, a young girl walked out of the house with slow steps.

She was also carrying a small basket of fire oranges in her hand.

“Ah,” he said.

The girl suddenly cried out in pain and fell to the ground.

Roger’s eyelids twitched.

The young girl’s originally flat lower abdomen actually swelled up at a speed visible to the naked eye!

In just ten minutes, it had swelled to the point of a ten-month pregnancy.

She rolled on the ground in pain.

Someone ran out of the house and reproached in a cold voice, ”

“I told you to leave after giving birth, but you didn’t listen.”

“Now, you still have to trouble us.”

The girl’s forehead was covered in sweat from the pain, but someone finally came to help.

After a short while.

The sound of something falling to the ground could be heard in the courtyard.

Roger had witnessed the process of the baby growing from the ground to the size of a five or six-year-old.

It only took about an hour.

This was definitely not something that could be explained by a mutation!

This young lady had just entered the big house today.

When she came out, she brought a five or six-year-old boy with her.

Her face had also aged more than ten years!

Roger held his breath and once again used his aura observation skill to carefully observe the big house.

In addition to the increasingly rich blood Qi.

He gained nothing.

He was preparing to be more radical and go deep into the big house.

At this moment, the data bar that had been silent for a long time finally moved.

..

[ the number of circles in your specialty-aura observation has increased. ]

[ the priority of aura viewing has been greatly increased. ]

[ you have obtained new information. ]

[ you have detected the ritual of the God of tainted blood ]

..
