Chapter 465: Chapter 465: Resurrection Ceremony
For a mage or wizard, owning a Magic Tower is something they dream about.
Even though Wallace once had the power of a first-order Bloodline Wizard, he never had a Magic Tower of his own. When Song Jian said he was willing to build a Magic Tower for him, it made Wallace excited and grateful, raising his appreciation to a new level.
System: You promise to build a Magic Tower for Follower âBloodline Wizard- Wallaceâ; his favorability towards you greatly increases, and the relationship between you and Follower âBloodline Wizard-Wallaceâ is elevated to Admiration!
âJust by making a promise, I can greatly increase the favorability of my Followers?â Song Jian laughed and thought to himself: âThatâs so simple. Maybe this is a loophole, a way to quickly increase favorability for Followers or even NPCs.â
However, Song Jian also knew that this promise, over time, would lose its effect very quickly if it was not realized. The favorability would drop even faster and more than how much it had increased, perhaps eventually turning the relationship with the Follower into hatred and ultimately leading to betrayal.
This shortcut, though fast, had more severe consequences if not handled with confidence, especially when making promises to NPCs or oneâs followers.
âAlright, letâs go and check out your resurrection ceremony first.â Song Jian stood up and said with a smile.
âMaster, I have one more request!â Wallace knelt on one knee, his head bowed low.
âWhat is it? As long as itâs not too much, I will agree,â Song Jian said.
âMaster, I know thereâs a Blood Pool in the basement of the Manor Castleâ¦â Wallace said nervously, âIf the body I am going to fuse with my soul can be soaked in the Blood Pool for some time, it would help me recover my strength greatly.â
âBlood Pool?â Song Jian furrowed his brows and asked after a moment of contemplation, âHow did you know thereâs a Blood Pool in the basement?â
The basement was a forbidden area, which Song Jian used as a safe keeping place for items from his inventory that he didnât need at the time.
Even the butler George didnât know about the basement, let alone Wallace. In the entire Manor Castle, apart from Song Jian, the only other entity that possibly knew about the existence of the Blood Pool was the Blood-chilling Shadow Tree Alex.
However, Alex was usually in a dormant state and would only wake up when enemies invaded the Manor Castle. Moreover, Alex couldnât communicate with anyone else. So how did Wallace learn about the Blood Pool? Did he sneak into the basement when Song Jian wasnât looking?
With this thought, Song Jianâs expression became stern, and he stared intently at Wallace, waiting for an explanation.
âMaster, after I created the body with the Black Dragon Bloodline, I tried to fuse with it once. Although the effect wasnât great, I suddenly gained a special ability when I entered the body,â Wallace said quietly, âI seem to be able to sense the existence of the blood slaves on the territory, and I can also communicate with the blood wolvesâ¦â
â What, you can sense the existence of blood slaves?â Song Jianâs face showed a surprised expression. The blood crows that served as scouts and the blood zombies and blood wolves that served as guardians were thought to be Song Jianâs summons, and others didnât know about the existence of the Blood Pool.
Moreover, these blood slaves would only obey one personâs command â the person who built the Blood Pool. And since mastering the âBlood Pool Summoning Skill,â Song Jian had grown deeper with these blood slaves. In the depths of their souls, Song Jianâs mark had been engraved, allowing him to annihilate the blood slaves with a single thought â preventing them from being resurrected.
âCan you order them to do things?â Song Jian asked seriously.
âNo, I canât,â Wallace said nervously. âRight now, I can only communicate with the blood wolves, while I can only vaguely sense the existence of the blood crows and blood zombies due to their low intelligence and inability to communicate.â
âSo, it was the blood wolves that told you about the Blood Pool?â Song Jian asked in a deep voice.
âYes, Master. I was curious about the blood wolves with red fur, and I accidentally asked one of them about their origin, which is how I learned about the Blood Pool,â Wallace lowered his head even more, his soul body trembling slightly.
âAlright, I understand. You have my permission to use the Blood Pool!â Song Jian contemplated for a long time and decided to observe for a while longer. After all, Wallace was once a first-order Bloodline Wizard, and both his strength and knowledge were something that Song Jian longed for.
Song Jian was now at level 22, and reaching level 30 wasnât that far away for him. Once he reached level 30, Song Jian would have to undergo the test to reach the first-order Combat Power, and Wallaceâs experience in this area would be of great help to him.
âThank you, my Master!â Wallace was so excited that he knee-walked a few steps and gently kissed Song Jianâs boot.
âLetâs go take a look at your laboratory first, I presume your resurrection ceremony will be held there?â Song Jian glanced at Wallace and asked.
âYes, Master, itâs there!â Wallace replied.
With a thought, Song Jianâs figure vanished and reappeared inside Wallaceâs laboratory.
As he entered Wallaceâs laboratory, Song Jian felt a sense of resistance, as if some mysterious force was trying to prevent his entry.
In this lab, Song Jian had complete control over the entire Manor Castle and all its surrounding territories.
After entering the lab, he frowned and looked around. At this point, Wallaceâs lab seemed to be enveloped by a semi-transparent shield of energy. On the surrounding walls, there were hundreds of complex golden runes with pulsing lights, like breathing, connecting them mysteriously.
âIs this⦠a Magic Defense Array?â Song Jian exclaimed in surprise.
Although he could see that this was a magic defense array set up by Wallace, he didnât know specifically what kind of defense array it was. He was still severely lacking in knowledge about magic â he could only recognize one or two of the golden runes on the walls.
After waiting in the laboratory for a while, Wallaceâs soul body passed through the wall. Upon seeing Song Jian, Wallace greeted him nervously.
âIâm sorry, Master, I forgot to turn off the magic defense array!â Wallace said nervously.
