Chapter 908 Betty's Blood
After seeing off Mrs. Josephine, Joan looked up at the sky, hesitating whether to go back, and checked whether the mentor and Ms. Betty were awake.
After a short hesitation, he decided not to go back, so as not to embarrass everyone, besides, he has a more urgent matter that needs to be dealt with immediately.
After making up his mind, Joan hurried back to his laboratory and took out the glass bottle containing the bloody handkerchief from his coat pocket.
Through the wall of the glass bottle, Joan saw the blood soaked in cotton gauze flowing down and filling the bottom of the bottle, and he became excited.
He unscrewed the cap of the bottle, carefully took out the handkerchief with a pair of tweezers sterilized by magic, placed it in an open glass dish, wrung out the blood plasma, filtered it, and collected it again.
After some processing, Joan finally collected half a bottle of plasma, which weighed about 2 to 3 ounces.
These precious blood samples, taken from Ms. Betty, are Joan's biggest harvest today.
He was reluctant to use the blood plasma, and directly painted the No. 4 rune Ansuz on the blood-stained handkerchief, and performed "mythical blood interpretation" with the runes.
The spell worked as smoothly as he expected, and the cotton handkerchief became steamy.
Countless tiny blood particles, under the action of magic power, automatically separated from the handkerchief, and gathered above the glass dish to form a cloud of blood mixed with gold threads.
At the same time, the handkerchief in the glass dish became as white as a wash after the blood left.
Seeing this scene, Joan was pleasantly surprised to find that "Mythical Blood Interpretation" also has an unexpected use, which is to separate blood and its attachments.
Using this technique, it will be easier for him to obtain blood samples in the future.
After writing down this "tip" in the experiment log, Joan turned his attention to the cloud of blood in midair.
After a brief inspection, he confirmed that the spell runes contained in the blood cloud were not counted as ring 0 tricks. There were about 30 of them, belonging to rings 1 to 6 respectively.
Calculated on average, each ring position only has 5 spells, which is not enough even compared to the number of spells mastered by a level 5 mage like Joan.
However, for a 12th-level warlock, this is already considered outstanding.
Compared with mages who rely on acquired learning, warlocks who rely on talent to make a living have never been at the same level in terms of the number of spells they can master.
Betty has two bloodlines of "half-drow" and "strange" warlocks, but most of the arcane arts she developed belong to the common and practical type.
This way of practice is of course reasonable and efficient, but it is not good news for Joan.
Because of the bloodline spells developed by Ms. Betty, almost all the corresponding arcane scrolls can be found in the university library, and he has already copied most of the spells.
There was no need to unlock the code, but it didn't surprise him much either.
From the first ring to the sixth ring, Joan found a total of 4 novel spells that he had never seen before.
They are 2nd level "spider leg", 4th level "liquefaction", 5th level "spider transformation", and 6th level "group liquefaction".
These four spells are not difficult to find just by looking at their names, and they can be classified into two categories.
Two of the spells closely related to "spider" originated from Betty's drow blood.
The dark elves, a nation, have regarded spiders as sacred objects since ancient times.
They worship the goddess Rose, the most widely known title is "Queen of the Spider God".
Among the warlock blood of the dark elves, there are particularly many spells related to spiders. This is also reflected in Betty, a mixed-blood dark elf.
2-ring "Spider Legs", which can cause a pair of appendages resembling spider's long legs to grow on both sides of the caster's body, and there are claws at the end of the appendages.
For as long as the spell lasts, the caster can use these four spider legs to climb freely on smooth vertical cliffs or horizontal surfaces.
Just like a real big spider, it flies over the roof and walks on the wall like walking on the ground.
Joan felt familiar with this spell.
After a little recollection, he remembered that he had seen a level 2 spell called "Spider Walk" in the university library, which was of the same level as "Spider Leg" and had almost the same function.
But if you think about it carefully, there are still obvious differences between these two spells.
The function of "Spider Walking" is to make the caster's hands and feet as dexterous as spider legs, able to attach to the wall and climb freely.
But in this way, when climbing, the hands and feet must be close to the wall at the same time, and the hands cannot be freed to do other things.
The "spider leg" is more convenient than the "spider walk" because it grows additional appendages for climbing, freeing up both hands to cast spells or fight.
In addition, "Spider Walking" has a particularly disgusting drawback, that is, a live spider must be used as the material for casting the spell, and the caster is required to swallow the spider alive, otherwise the spell will not succeed.
Joan didn't take the "spider walk" at the beginning. A very important factor was that he couldn't stand this disgusting way of casting spells.
As far as Joan knew, he and his current classmates, Edward, Thomas, Angel and Ryan, were all persuaded by the level of "swallowing spiders alive" and had to give up learning "spider walking".
I don't know how many young mages have cursed the person who invented this spell, and they are psychopaths.
In contrast, the "spider leg technique" does not have such a bad taste, and does not require any spell-casting materials.
Joan felt that it was necessary for him to transcribe the "Spider Leg Technique" into a scroll and sell it to the Arcane Library when he returned to school.
The main purpose is not to earn a few dollars, but to seek benefits for the students of this major and even the future students, so that they will not suffer from the torture of "spider walking".
The second spell closely related to spiders that Joan deciphered from Ms. Betty's blood also originated from drow blood, and it was the 5th ring "Spider Transformation".
This spell fully reflects the fascination and worship of the dark elves towards spiders.
With this spell, the caster can transform into spiders of various sizes, or become a monster with a large mutant spider on the lower body and a dark elf on the upper body, which is the so-called "spider drow".
During the duration of the transformation, the caster can completely change his physique from the cellular level, and obtain all physical attributes and supernatural abilities corresponding to the spider form and the "spider drow" form.
"Spider Transformation" seemed quite interesting, but after thinking about it, Joan vaguely suspected that this spell hadn't been perfectly optimized. From its function alone, it was not worthy of the magic power level of a 5th-level spell.
For example, this spell allows the caster to gain supernatural abilities of the morphed object, which sounds great.
However, if you think about it carefully, this spell can only be used to transform various types of spiders or "spider drow", but these two types of creatures have no supernatural abilities worth mentioning at all.
As for the effectiveness of "Spider Transformation" in other aspects, the 4th-level "Transfiguration" can also be done, so why does it occupy a 5th-level spell slot?
