As he was worried about the ogres' pursuit and revenge, after Wu Ming met up with Caritan, he immediately retreated a distance with his team and hid, quietly waiting for the ogre army to disperse.
The bandit army was formed by the alliance of many tribes, and they barely relied on the prestige of the Ogre Sorcerer. Now that the Sorcerer had fallen, there was no leader, and the food in the vicinity was gradually decreasing. The conflict was bound to become more prominent, and it was only a matter of time before they disbanded.
After all, the ogres were not gentle fellows. In their eyes, all creatures that stood on two feet could be treated as food!
… …
"Caritan, look at these …"
Beside the fire, Wu Ming handed over the spoils of war that he had plundered from the Wizard to Caritan.
"That Wizard's relics?"
Caritan's eyes lit up, and she could not wait to appraise them.
"This is powder ground from the teeth and flesh of ferocious beasts. It's a type of spellcasting material!"
She first took out a black bottle, opened it, and sniffed it before coming to a conclusion.
Seeing this, Wu Ming was speechless. If it was poison, wouldn't this woman be finished immediately?
But thinking that Caritan was also an expert in this field, she should have been prepared, so he just watched quietly.
As it turned out, most of the items on the Wizard's body were spellcasting materials and medicinal ingredients extracted from ferocious beasts or plants.
There was also a bottle of blood-red potion. According to Caritan's judgement, it contained the power of witchcraft, which could increase an ogre's recovery ability and speed. Of course, it should also be suitable for humans, and the effect was similar to the holy oil baptism.
But even Awa, who was the bravest among them, did not dare to try anything when he saw that blood-red color.
"Master … Fortunately, you already killed this Wizard!"
Caritan said in a relaxed tone, "Otherwise, after mastering this technique, this Ogre Wizard would definitely be able to continuously create Ogre Warriors!"
Even Jack could not help but feel his scalp go numb when he thought of the scene of a large number of Knights charging at him.
"Master, you saved the entire Wind Firefly Plains!"
Beatrice looked at Wu Ming with a look of worship.
"It's a pity that there are no medals, flowers, or honors …"
Wu Ming smiled and took the bottle.
In this world, any medicine that had a special effect would definitely be related to the mystic arts.
For example, the Knight's Holy Oil required blue blood. Although the potion made by the Ogre Sorcerer was more common than the Holy Oil, it required magic to make it!
This requirement alone was enough to exclude 99% of the pharmacists in the Seer Continent.
"Wow!"
Immediately after, Carlitan opened the last jar. Her eyes lit up as she cried out involuntarily, "Black Blood Leech powder! Such a big jar? "
She looked at the black powder as if she was looking at a pile of gold.
"Is this powder very rare?"
Wu Ming asked.
"My Lord … This powder has to be obtained from a very rare type of leech. It has to go through a complicated process. Even my family back then could only get a small bottle. That was the result of ten years of hard work …"
Carlitan had a complicated expression. "This large jar is probably the accumulation of all the ogre tribes over hundreds of years!"
"What's the point?"
"It can increase the success rate of many potions, and …" Carlitan bit her lip.
"It's also necessary to cast some voodoo spells. We witches have a secret ritual. Maybe I can use it to break through my own limits …"
Carlitan was just an ordinary person who had the knowledge of witches but did not inherit the abilities of witches. Breaking through the limits was naturally to obtain the power of witches and become a spellcaster.
"Very good, you didn't lie to me!"
Wu Ming's eyes flashed.
Carlitan looked at Beatrice and Ava, who were ready to attack, and smiled bitterly in her heart.
She already knew that this lord had a unique ability to detect lies. Moreover, she was just a weak woman at the moment. What could she use to resist?
Was it poison? Perhaps before she could do anything, Sir Overlord's sword would have already slit open her neck.
Moreover, through these years of observation, she also knew that although this lord was not a good person, he was not a bad person either. At least compared to other nobles, he still valued his promises.
"Now, it is my trophy. In order to obtain it, what price are you willing to pay?"
Wu Ming looked at Carlitan with interest.
"Everything!"
The witch's descendant took a deep breath and answered in a heavy tone.
"Everything?"
Wu Ming seemed a little confused. "This is a bit too vague!"
"I am willing to swear a witch's blood oath to serve you and your family for a hundred years. You not only have my body, but also my soul, my master!"
Carlitan knelt on one knee and said in a strange tone.
"A hundred years?"
Wu Ming glanced at Carlitan playfully. Just as she was feeling uneasy, he smiled calmly and said, "Okay! You can swear! "
After getting his permission, Carlitan seemed to heave a sigh of relief. She took out a golden dagger, cut her wrist, and used her blood to draw a strange and complicated mark on her forehead.
"With my blood, I swear that I will be loyal to my master and use my knowledge and power to serve him. I will not violate any reasonable request until the time is up!"
She murmured and handed the dagger to Wu Ming. "Please leave a mark on your servant to complete the whole ceremony!"
From the beginning of the ceremony, Beatrice and the others felt a chill.
Even though there was a burning fire around them, to them, it was as if they suddenly came to a world of ice and snow without any clothes on. The tremor and chill that came from their souls made everyone almost hold their breath as they quietly looked at the two people on the field.
"Carlitan, is this your real name?"
Wu Ming held the golden dagger in his hand and suddenly asked with a smile.
Although this woman still had a trick up her sleeve in the contract, it was enough for him.
Moreover, with the nature of his soul, even if this witch left some leeway, it was really hard to say who would benefit in the end.
"This is my real name. If I violate the oath, my soul will fall into the ninth level of hell and be burned by the fire forever."
Carlitan said solemnly.
"In the name of William Wallace, I accept you as my servant. If you swear loyalty to me, I will protect you and grant you the ability to advance!"
Wu Ming said softly and used the dagger to point at the center of the mark on Carlitan's forehead.
Crack!
In the next moment, Carlitan's whole body trembled, and she was a little absent-minded.
Through the channel of the oath, she felt that her soul had instantly connected with an indescribable, radiant existence.
The other party's power was so great that she couldn't even muster up any thoughts of resistance. The nature of inequality caused the leeway and trick she had left in the contract to be grasped by the other party, and it completely deviated to that great existence.
If the other party was a devil, he could probably use this contract to harvest her soul!
"My master!"
Carlitan's voice trembled, and all the illusions disappeared. She looked at the young master in front of her, but she bowed in the most solemn manner.
"This jar of Black Blood Leech powder is all yours!"
Wu Ming waved his hand. He had always been generous to servants that he had completely subdued. "If you want to advance, how long will it take?"
Carlitan hugged the jar and thought for a moment. "About a hundred days!"
"That's too long. Wait until we return to the territory before you carry out the ceremony!"
Wu Ming frowned and made a decision.
"From tomorrow onwards, we will explore the Eagle Nest Mountain Range with all our strength!"
…
Beneath the Eagle Nest Mountain Range.
The ogre stronghold from before had been completely abandoned. A large number of wooden walls had collapsed, and there were traces of battle and fire on it.
When Wu Ming and the others arrived, their faces were filled with amazement.
"An ogre army camp?"
Ava exclaimed. "If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I would have thought that I was dreaming!"
"Ogres are ogres! Once they lose the leadership of a Magus, they are no different from a group of beasts. No! They are worse than beasts! "
Beatrice looked at the pile of ashes and the bones that had been thrown away, and a disgusted expression appeared on her face.
"It seems like they did have many internal conflicts, and the losers were unlucky enough to become the victors' food … After destroying everything they could see, they scattered across the wilderness …"
Jack saw this scene and heaved a sigh of relief.
Although the people of the wilderness and innocent travelers would still be harmed by the ogres, the terrifying future of a large army attacking the city had been completely stopped.
"Now, even if there are still a few ogres roaming around the Eagle Nest Mountain Range, they are no match for us …"
Wu Ming looked at the towering mountain range, but his eyes were burning. "Start searching for the ruins with all your might!"
The legendary gift from the five ancient kings, the treasure to fight against the giant serpent, the power of the people.
In order to obtain this Transcendent seed, he had waited for far too long.
Now that the Wind Firefly Plains was about to descend into chaos, it was even more important to obtain a strong backing.
The entire world had been divided for too long, and had been in chaos for too long.
Once he could unify it, the fate and origin force he obtained would be of great help to him.
There was also the giant serpent that had created the world and prophesied that it would destroy it.
To be able to create such an incredible universe core like the Thel World, what kind of status and power did it possess?
It was precisely because of the infinite universe, infinite possibilities, and infinite excitement that it attracted him to pursue it, transcend, and finally obtain eternity!
