Chapter 185 Friendship From Wizards

"It's been more than two hours. The wizard's research may end at any time. You should leave quickly. If you don't get the knowledge you want, you can come back next time. Don't you have another chance?"

"Yes." Li He nodded, quickly put down the book in his hand, and followed Geller to the door.

In fact, in more than two hours of reading, he has already obtained most of the knowledge he wants.

For example, the most critical, the types of parasites, the effects of resisting curses and the side effects of implanting the body.

In general, parasites are strange and varied, and the types and effects of being able to resist curses are different.

Some can resist all curses, but the effect is low. Some only have resistance to certain curses, and the effect is very significant, almost immune.

Other parasites have growth potential, and as they continue to resist curses, their resistance ability gradually increases. The problem is that at the beginning, there is almost no resistance ability, which can easily cause the wizard apprentice as the host to die tragically under a powerful curse.

By screening the content in the book, Li He selected three parasites as alternatives for his implantation and transformation.

The first one is the iron wireworm. This is a slender worm similar to an earthworm but with a dark body. It parasitizes in human muscles. After implantation, it can enhance the host's physical strength and has a good resistance to most curses that directly act on the body. The disadvantage is that it is less effective for mental curses such as earworms. In addition, iron wireworms can cause human infection, causing the host to continue to be in a low-grade fever state, reducing a small number of perception and reaction abilities.

The second type is the dark fly. This is a soybean-sized dark gray fly that parasitizes in the gaps between organs in the body. After implantation, it can enhance the host's mental strength. Its effect is exactly the opposite of that of iron wireworms, and it has a good resistance to most mental curses such as earworms. The disadvantage is that it is less effective for curses that directly act on the body. In addition, the individual dark fly has two sets of male and female reproductive systems, which can be self-fertilized and reproduced, and the reproduction speed is very fast. This causes the host to regularly clean the dark flies in the body and limit the number to a certain range, otherwise a large number of dark flies will destroy the internal environment and cause serious injuries to the host.

The third type is the ghost firefly. This is a very special parasite, similar to ordinary fireflies, but only the size of a millet grain. It parasitizes in human blood and draws the nutrients it needs from the blood. After this parasite is implanted, it can enhance the host's perception and has good resistance to almost all curses, whether it is a mental curse or a curse that directly acts on the body. The side effect is simply because it draws nutrients from the blood, which makes the host more likely to be hungry. Compared with the side effects of other parasites, it is almost equivalent to nothing.

In a sense, the ghost firefly can be called a perfect parasite, but it is emphasized in the records of books that it is not suitable to be the first parasite of a wizard apprentice.

Because the ghost firefly has an unchangeable shortcoming, that is, its own life is extremely fragile and difficult to reproduce.

For the same curse, the iron wire worm and the dark fly will be weak for a period of time after resistance, and they can continue to resist the curse after recovery.

Ghost fireflies are different. They can indeed successfully resist the curse, but the price they pay is often direct death. When facing the curse again, the wizard apprentice as the host can only resist it.

Of course, the wizard apprentice can also solve it by continuously implanting ghost fireflies.

However, the number of ghost fireflies is not large, and it is difficult to reproduce. This method will not last long, and eventually there will be no parasites available.

Therefore, it is not a good choice.

But then again, ghost fireflies are extremely attractive in other aspects.

As Li He walked out of the library, he kept thinking.

Thinking about which parasite to choose.

It would be best to combine the three parasites. If it is a second choice, it would be OK if the shortcomings of the three parasites can be made up.

However, how to obtain these three parasites is a new problem, which is not covered in the book.

Just thinking about it, Geller, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped at the door.

Li He's eyes flashed, and he stopped with him. He saw an old man in a dirty gray robe walking up the stairs to the second floor.

"Hello, teacher, is your experiment over?" Geller bowed his head quickly to greet.

"Yeah." The old man responded and slowly approached.

Li He lowered his head and greeted him: "Hello, Master Wizard."

This time the old man did not respond, but walked to the door and stopped.

After waiting for a long time, he did not see the other party leave, and Li He looked up at him with a little doubt.

The extremely thin old man, who looked like a skeleton, slowly opened his mouth, stared at Li He and asked: "You provided me with a hundred high-quality rubies before, right? I think you should have some more?"

Li He raised his eyebrows slightly, and said sincerely: "In reply to Master Wizard, I still have six rubies left in my hand, the quality is slightly worse, if you need them, I can give them for free."

It was too coincidental to say that there was none. Li He considered that there was no need to offend the other party because he could pay a small price to solve the problem. Speaking of which, the other party's private library was still quite useful to him. If possible, he would like to come more often.

Who knows, after hearing what he said, the old man shook his head slightly: "If it's just a few rubies, I don't need to ask for it myself. You should understand that a few rubies can't meet my needs, I need more. I think, since you can take out a hundred rubies before, there must be a way to get more rubies. Even if you can't get it now, you can get it in the future."

Li He pondered for half a second, looked at the old man and asked: "Then I boldly ask the wizard a question, if I can provide more rubies to the wizard, what can I get?"

"You can get my friendship."

"Friendship?" Li He's mouth twitched unnoticeably. The illusory promise of friendship has no appeal to him, so it's better to give him something more practical.

Pursing his lips, Li He asked: "Excuse me, wizard, can your friendship help me get some parasites, such as iron wireworms, dark flies and ghost fireflies? I need them now."

"Ha!" The old man suddenly laughed and said in a hoarse voice, "Boy, you are very bold to bargain with the wizard. But I am not unreasonable. If you want to exchange three parasites, I can satisfy you. There is only one thing. You want these parasites, you should implant them for yourself, right? Then, if the parasites given to you by outsiders, do you really dare to implant them in your body? Aren't you afraid of doing something?"

Without waiting for Li He to respond, the old man continued: "If you need parasites, I can recommend a place to capture them. There are many types and quantities there, and you can capture anything you want. I will tell you the specific location, and I promise that your friendship will not change. The price is that you have to provide me with 100 rubies, and the quality cannot be too different from the previous ones. How about it, consider it?"

"Well..."
