"Fine. I don't care who you are. You're just a bunch of apprentices. You can't help me." The man lowered his eyes and said helplessly, "But you guys are really lucky. You didn't get parasitized by the parasites here and even managed to survive."
The man talked to himself for a while, while Angor and the others remained silent.
"Now, perhaps your luck will continue." The man raised his head with difficulty. He pulled at the golden thread that pierced through his neck, causing blood to spurt out.
He didn't seem to notice it at all. Instead, he slowly glanced around.
In the end, his gaze stopped on Angor. He studied the young man carefully and showed a regretful look.
He sighed and shifted his attention to Nausica.
"I'm Gragg. Have you heard of me before?" The man spoke slowly, "Well, I don't care. I'm just an idiot who's going to die here. People will laugh at me if they hear about it."
"Let me put it simply. I'm a Bloodline Wizard, and I'm going to die soon." Gragg's voice sounded sorrowful, "I've been tortured by these damn strings, and I've been eyed by these weird dragonflies. There's no way for me to survive. I know I can't hold on for much longer. Maybe in a minute or two. "
"Before I die, I want to leave my legacy behind. Lady in soft armor, may I know your name?" Gragg stared at Nausica without blinking.
Nausica hesitated and was about to say her name when Gragg interrupted her.
"Forget it. I don't care what your name is. You're just a passerby in my life. It doesn't matter if I know your name or not." Gragg shook his head. "Just remember one thing. Your lucky day is here. I'll leave all of my legacy to you so that you won't lose it. Including my bloodline. You'll inherit my bloodline and the bloodline of a Nether Demon Lord!"
"Come here, lady! Welcome your lucky day and accept my legacy! "
Gragg's words were like flowing water, uninterrupted and full of temptation. However, after he finished speaking, no one moved an inch.
"Lucky lady, I can't hold on for much longer. Once I die, my legacy will fall into darkness forever. "Gragg urged again.
Nausica stepped forward but was stopped by Shan. She looked back and saw that Shan had changed her usual cheerful face. She shook her head gently and said silently, "Don't go, it's a trap."
Nausica smiled and patted her hand to reassure her.
Angor sat in the air and watched Gragg's performance. Of course, he knew something was wrong. He didn't tell Nausica because he believed Nausica's EQ was much better than his. She used to be the ruler of Blackberry Waters, after all. If even he could see the problem, he was sure Nausica would notice it as well.
"Respected Mr. Gragg, my name is Angela. I am a lowly Bloodline Apprentice. I'm very grateful for your kindness, but I can't do anything. Those dragonflies are too powerful. I'm afraid they'll tear me apart if I move. "Nausica bowed to Gragg sincerely.
Gragg's expression stiffened. He endured the pain and forced a smile to Nausica.
"The path of wizardry isn't always smooth. Every opportunity comes with danger. If you have to worry about something like this, it'll be impossible for you to go further on the path of truth. " Gragg paused for a moment and said, "Didn't you notice that these dragonflies didn't show any intention of attacking you since you came in? That's because they're all focused on me.
Also, you don't have to get too close. Just stand under my feet. You'll be fine. "
This guy … Nausica sneered in her mind. The reason why the dragonflies didn't attack them was because of Angor, not because of their attention.
Nausica didn't care about Gragg's attitude, but she still put on a "helpless yet hopeful", "eager yet scared", "hesitant yet worried" expression.
Angor could almost see all the complicated emotions in her expression.
Nausica was a "big sister" for sure. She was always lazy and focused on her training, but she was also a great actress. He believed that Nausica's acting skills were way better than his own. He would not even look back.
Angor carefully observed every detail of Nausica's expression. Maybe he could use her soul-piercing acting skills in the future.
Gragg looked at Nausica's expression and realized that he had a chance. Judging from her hesitant look, he was only one step away from persuading her to help him. Maybe he needed to throw out some bait now.
"You really don't want my legacy?" Gragg sighed.
"Forget it. No matter why you're unwilling to accept my inheritance, it's just my wishful thinking before I die … It's enough that you're willing to accompany me and say a few words before I die. I'll leave this thing to you."
Using what little spirit power he had left, Gragg took out a glass bottle from his storage and flicked it ten meters away.
The glass bottle bounced a few times and finally landed in front of Nausica.
With the help of Shan's Light spell, Angor could clearly see that the bottle was a standard thin-necked bottle. Inside the transparent body of the bottle, there was a shallow expansion rune engraved on the inside, which allowed the bottle to contain more liquid.
Such bottles had a common name: Bloodline Bottle.
Bloodline bottles were extremely expensive. Each of them cost nearly a hundred magic crystals. Apart from extremely precious bloodlines, adepts would rarely use luxury items like bloodline bottles.
Under the light, Angor could see the red liquid inside the bottle. According to the standard of a Bloodline Bottle, this was definitely a precious bloodline.
"You're Angela, right? Take this and you can leave. It contains the bloodline of a Nether Demon. Consider it a gift for you before I die. Sigh … Poor me. No one can inherit my excellent bloodline. No one can match my knowledge. "
Bloodline of a Nether Demon?! Nausica, Angor, and Shan looked at each other in surprise.
This was a high-level bloodline of an Abyss Demon! It was not as good as the "bloodline of a Nether Demon Lord" that Gragg injected into his body, but this bottle was still a luxury item.
It was far more valuable than a Succubus Bloodline. Even if it was placed in a Sky Auction, it would only be sold at the end of the auction.
Nausica had always been short on money because she needed to save up enough to buy a bloodline. She did not know whether it was a Nether Demon Bloodline or not, but she believed that Gragg would not lie to her at this moment. If she could fuse with the bloodline of a Nether Demon, her strength would increase by leaps and bounds. She would also take a decisive step forward in her bloodline training.
Even if it was not a Nether Demon Bloodline, it would not be cheap since it was stored in a bottle like this. Whether she used it or sold it, she would make a fortune.
Even the experienced Shan was giving Nausica the same message with her eyes. "This is a good deal. Let's do it!"
Nausica secretly made a "don't worry" gesture.
Nausica looked at Gragg and the bloodline bottle with a complicated expression. She seemed to have made up her mind.
Finally, she took two steps forward.
Gragg faintly smiled.
However, Nausica suddenly stopped in front of the bottle and did not pick it up. Gragg was a little confused. He had cast an Enchantment spell on the bottle. If Nausica did not pick it up, it would not trigger the spell.
Nausica took advantage of her hesitation and gave Angor a meaningful glance.
Angor nodded at her.
Nausica flipped her hair and tried to imitate Gragg's words. "It's fine. I don't care if you really want to pass down your legacy or not. It's just a small matter for me. I don't have enough strength to carry it on me. Maybe I can't even become a wizard in the end. I don't want to waste your legacy."
With that, Nausica turned around and yelled at Angor and Shan, "Let's go!"
Angor and Shan opened the door at the same time and prepared to run outside. At the same time, Angor released a gray gravity power, which wrapped around the bloodline bottle on the ground and carried it out of the door.
Gragg was stunned by the sudden turn of events.
However, he quickly came to his senses. These lowly ants were actually toying with him?! That woman had been acting the entire time, and what made him even angrier was that she had actually imitated his tone of voice!
This was blatant mockery!
"Damn you! You filthy worm!" Gragg was so angry that his veins were bulging on his forehead. With the help of the golden strings, his veins exploded, and blood sprayed everywhere.
"You can run! But my Bloodline Bottle is not that easy to take! "Gragg roared angrily.
"Explode!"
Then he noticed that the sequence of gravity around the Bloodline Bottle began to change. He looked at Nausica and said, "Shit! There's an unknown spell inside the Bloodline Bottle, and it's losing its balance!"
Nausica looked a little disappointed, but she quickly yelled, "Don't worry about it. Throw it away!"
Angor hesitated. That was a bloodline that was worth hundreds of thousands of coins!
But as the imbalance grew worse, Angor had no choice but to throw it away.
But just as it was about to hit the ground, a big hand wearing a white glove caught the Bloodline Bottle. The Bloodline Bottle flashed in the hand, and its unbalanced energy slowly dissipated, but the Bloodline Bottle was unharmed.
"Since when did you start tricking apprentices, Gragg?"
A familiar voice came from behind.
Angor froze. Nausica and Shan also stopped running. Even Shiliew, who was sleeping in Shan's arms, turned around and looked at the newcomer.
Angor turned around and saw a familiar face.
"Professor? You're here! "
"Are you blind, Angor? Can't you see that I'm here too?" Greya's voice came from above.
As soon as he looked up, he quickly lowered his head again.
"Lady Greya …" Angor muttered.
"What? You won't even look at me? "Greya humphed.
"You're wearing a skirt. If you don't mind exposing your body, you can fly lower so that everyone can see you."
Greya didn't feel embarrassed at all. She winked at Sunders. "Mister Phantom, what do you think of my skirt?"
"You're more interesting than before. At least your purple underwear isn't too tight." Sunders chuckled.
