Meryl's breathing gradually stagnated.
Her teacher's teachings were like the evening drum and morning bell that struck her heart. She could not help but reflect on her actions all these years.
For the sake of her family's development and her own indescribable vanity, Meryl had invested too much time and energy in areas other than magic. Although her family's affairs had become more prosperous with each passing day, her strength had also fallen from first-rate to second-rate within the family. Now, it had even slipped to third-rate.
However, regarding this, Meryl had her own difficulties that she could not voice out.
Ever since she had become an acolyte, she had clearly known that her talent as a Magus was not that great. With her aptitude, it was already very fortunate for her to be able to advance to the first rank. It was almost impossible for her to advance to the second rank.
It was precisely because of this understanding that she had given up on the arduous study of magic and the tedious daily experiments. Instead, she had invested most of her time and energy into handling the complicated affairs of the family.
What she had obtained was a great authority and a false power that could be answered by a single call. These illusionary halos of authority intoxicated her and made her yearn for them. Even now, she still did not feel that her actions were wrong.
Rather than spending his time learning witchcraft and doing tedious witchcraft experiments day after day in order to obtain a possible future, he might as well make the most of each day and live a meaningful and colorful life.
It was hard to say that she was wrong. However, when an earth-shattering opportunity appeared in front of her, Meryl displayed the performance of a qualified Magus.
"Fire Dragon bloodline?" When Meryl saw the mysterious rune floating in a transparent bubble, slowly rotating and emitting a dark red luster, she could not help but cry out in surprise.
"That's right. This is the mysterious rune condensed from the Fire Dragon bloodline that I told you about. If you're willing, I can implant it into your body and allow you to possess the innate talent of the Fire Dragon bloodline for half a year. This is much stronger than your original elemental talent! Are you … willing? "
Without any hesitation, Meryl immediately nodded her head repeatedly.
To a Magus, possessing a more powerful bloodline, mastering more profound knowledge of magic, and being able to unleash more powerful spells was the dream of every Magus. How could they possibly hesitate or reject such an opportunity!?
Meryl's previous bewilderment and hesitation were mostly due to her poor aptitude as a Magus, which was why she could not help but give up. If she could possess a powerful Fire Dragon bloodline, why would she waste her time on these 'boring' mundane tasks?
Grimm nodded in satisfaction at Meryl's excitement and determination.
"Then take off your clothes and lie on the experiment table!"
Meryl did not hesitate in the slightest in response to her teacher's order. She quickly took off her robe and undergarments and obediently lay down on the brightly lit experiment table.
Meryl was a beautiful witch with good looks. Although her figure was not as sexy and fiery as Mary and the others, she was still curvaceous and full. At this moment, she was lying flat on the experiment table, her silver-grey hair draped over the stone table like silk. She was completely naked, her legs tightly closed and her arms gently folded in front of her chest.
Although she did not cast any charm spells, there was an indescribable ambiguous aura about her!
In fact, with the status and power of Magi, relationships between men and women were not as rigid and strict as in normal society. As long as they were willing, there were plenty of handsome men and beautiful women among the acolytes who would throw themselves at them. As long as they beckoned, the nobles would even be willing to send carts of beautiful women to their residences in exchange for political protection.
Hence, most of the private lives of male and female Magi were very decadent. Some of them even had perverted interests and extravagant desires!
However, as a Magus that Grimm had personally nurtured, Meryl was still very good at keeping her body clean. Although she was no longer a virgin, it could be seen from her beautiful skin, plump and perky breasts, as well as the luxuriant dark parts of her body that her private life was still very decent.
Even though her most private parts were exposed to her teacher, Meryl did not have the shyness and restraint of a normal girl. She merely looked at her teacher with a calm expression.
"You've only just arrived today, so it's impossible to transplant the bloodline rune so quickly. So, I need to do a thorough examination and take a sample of your body to prepare for the transplant. Relax and cooperate with me … "Grimm explained gently and waved his hand to light up the various spell formations on the experiment table.
Soon after, rays of bright but not dazzling, gentle light arrays appeared, making Meryl's beige skin look almost transparent.
Grimm sat down in front of the experiment table again, his black pupils flickering with blue light as he controlled the spell formations to slowly cover Meryl's body.
Meryl, intermediate rank 1. Profession: Elemental Magus (Earth element). Stats: Strength 4, Vitality 8, Agility 5, Spiritual Force 14 … …
With the activation of the spell formations and the A.I. Chip's deep scan, Meryl's basic stats appeared in Grimm's mind. These stats were indeed on the weak side for a rank 1 Magus. Meryl also did not have much actual combat experience, so her combat skills were almost non-existent.
She had the aptitude of a normal academic Magus!
Even if Grimm were to return to rank 1, he would still be able to take on a rookie like Meryl by himself. If the battlefield was not limited, Grimm would not be afraid even if he had to fight her.
Apart from her basic stats, Meryl's aptitude as a Magus was extremely 'ordinary'!
Honestly speaking, her advancement to rank 1 was largely due to luck.
Without the intervention of external forces, Advanced Grade 1 was the limit of her potential development. It was almost impossible for her to advance to rank 2.
However, what gave Grimm a headache was not Meryl's aptitude as a Magus, but her elemental affinity.
Meryl had advanced to become an earth elemental Magus, so her elemental affinity was naturally the earth element.
From the A.I. Chip's scan, Grim could clearly see that the Earth Elemental was ranked first, taking up 7 slots. The second was the Metal Elemental, taking up 2 slots. The third was the Plant Elemental, taking up half a slot. As for the rest of the Elemental Elemental, they all took up half a slot.
In her elemental affinity chart, there was not even a trace of fire elemental affinity. If he wanted to transform her into a Fire Dragon bloodline, it would be as difficult as changing her body. The difficulty was so great that even Grimm could not help but scratch his head.
Grimm could not help but think of his other Magus disciple, Amu.
If Amu had not been tempted by the Sarubo family to become a traitor, with his affinity with the fire elemental affinity, he would have been the most suitable to receive this Fire Dragon bloodline rune.
Unfortunately …
If he knew that his stupidity had caused him to lose such a good opportunity to advance, would he be so vexed that he would bang his head against the wall and die?
Grimm carefully examined Meryl's body as he let his imagination run wild.
The results of the initial examination showed that Meryl was not suitable to inherit the Fire Dragon bloodline. If she were to insist on doing so, it would cause a huge loss in the potential of the Fire Dragon bloodline.
After all, the former Star of Calamity, Phylliba Echart, was a powerful existence at the peak of the rank 3. If this Fire Dragon bloodline rune was transplanted into Meryl, the A.I. Chip estimated that Meryl would only be at the initial rank 3.
If this Fire Dragon bloodline rune was transplanted into Meryl, the A.I. Chip estimated that Meryl's best growth limit would only be rank 3. This also meant that as long as Meryl put in a lot of effort, she could reach Tier 3 while she was still alive.
Once she reached the rank 3, her potential would be cut off, and she would not be able to advance any further.
After reaching the third tier, her potential had been severed. It was impossible for her to progress any further!
With regards to her situation, Grimm did not hide anything and told Meryl everything that he had deduced. Meryl's face was pale as she lay on the experiment table, her body trembling slightly as she listened to everything.
To be honest, listening to an outsider announce the limits of her potential in such a serious manner, Meryl's heart was in turmoil, and she had mixed feelings. Although she knew that her aptitude was not good, to be told her 'death date' right in front of her face still made her feel bitter and hopeless.
However, to be able to raise the aptitude of a Magus from the initial rank 3 to the advanced rank 1 was already a great blessing!
Hence, Meryl nodded towards her teacher with tears in her eyes.
Then this matter is settled!
Grimm had also made up his mind.
As for the loss of the potential of the Fire Dragon bloodline rune, Grimm did not care too much about it.
So what if he found a Magus that was extremely compatible with this bloodline rune? The chances of advancing to the fourth rank were still so slim! Even the owner of the bloodline, Feliba, had difficulty advancing to the fourth rank. Would her successor be able to do better than her?
So, sacrificing some of the potential of the bloodline rune in exchange for Meryl's loyalty and strength, why not?
Since he had made up his mind, Grimm did not think too much about it. Instead, he focused his mind on how to successfully transplant this bloodline rune into Meryl's body.
Directly transplanting it would not work!
The Fire Dragon bloodline in the bloodline rune would definitely not be compatible with Meryl's earth elemental aptitude. If he were to force it and cause a rejection reaction, the bloodline rune collapsing would be a small matter. However, Meryl's elemental aptitude would be contaminated and lead to her death. This would not be worth it.
Hence, before the transplant, Meryl's body should be modified to a certain extent so that the conflict between her earth elemental aptitude and the fire elemental aptitude would not be as intense.
