Chapter 116 'Awakening'
Chapter 116 'Awakening'
When they turned around at Chashan Ridge, two more carriages appeared in Loon's group—one carrying wizard Ralph and the other carrying wizard Sunil.
"But those two... each with a bottle of sleep powder, how long will they be able to sleep?"
"And how can we wake them up in advance?"
Luo Ang used his spiritual power to sense the two carriages.
The two wizards slept soundly, completely unaffected by the jolting of the carriage.
"In that case, let's take them back to Forked Ridge and deal with them together with Kiris." Loon used his mental power to immediately envelop the two carriages, ensuring that he could discover the two wizards as soon as they regained consciousness.
—Although the current situation is somewhat different from what the Scarlet Wizard predicted.
In any case, their exchanges with the wizards of Middle-earth did yield some "results".
Whether it's these two small tools that allow wizards to hone their control over mental power, or the sleep dust, or the life-giving powder—all of them bear the marks of being 'artificial'.
This means that the wizard's "knowledge" is knowledge that neither Loen nor the Crimson Wizard understands.
Especially the medicinal powder that contains life force.
—Since it's a man-made thing, we can make more of it!
So, if there is enough medicinal powder, can the life force contained in the medicinal powder be used to nurture magical beasts?
If it works, this method is much more reliable than the Scarlet Wizard's plan to "hunt" for blood anglerfish in the deep sea.
As for the relics of the needle-toothed eel—the Iron Sword family's treasury does not contain these items.
More than twenty years ago, during a kingdom war, the Iron Sword family had almost exhausted all the contents of their family treasury in order to gain military merit.
Add to that the disputes with the Bloodfang Clan over the past twenty years... the Iron Sword Clan's treasury is almost empty.
In order to train enough knights, the Iron Sword family ground some ancient bones into powder and ate them...
……
On Longarm Island, the Crimson Wizard looked at the two wizards that Loon had captured and was speechless.
"Chilis, this isn't my fault, they attacked first!"
Seeing the Scarlet Wizard's appearance, Loon immediately spoke up to explain.
"They attacked first?" Upon hearing this, the Crimson Wizard's expression changed slightly.
This was not at all what she had envisioned for communication—completely different from what she had expected.
"Are the wizards of Middle-earth so fierce and warlike?" After Loen explained the whole story, the Crimson Wizard was even more puzzled.
This is not the posture that a stable "herd" should have.
"Debating these things now is just asking for trouble." Lo Ang waved his hand to reassure the Crimson Wizard, then turned his gaze to the two prisoners.
"Anyway, we've brought them all back. If there are any problems, we can just wake them up and ask them!"
"This wizard Ralph is more willing to communicate; he doesn't have the same hostility towards us as the wizard Sunil."
"If we want to communicate, he is the best option right now."
"However, the problem now is that last night I had them inhale a huge amount of sleep dust," Luo Ang said, holding up a small finger. "About a hundred times the amount that would put an ordinary person to sleep."
"How to wake up this wizard Ralph is a troublesome matter."
A whole bottle of sleeping powder... Loon was quite skeptical that the two wizards who came to attack might sleep for ten days or half a month before waking up.
As for other methods... Luo Ang has already tried the falling method, and it was completely useless!
"Falling won't work, so how about drowning?" the Crimson Wizard asked, then used his mental power to lift Ralph Wizard up and throw him into the sea.
"Sleep is just sleep, not a coma—when a person encounters a life-threatening danger, instinct will naturally awaken the sleeping soul and body."
After a dozen or so breaths, the sound of choking on water rang out, and Ralph the wizard, who had been thrown into the sea, began to struggle.
A moment later, a shark pounced on Ralph the wizard and pushed him onto the shallows.
"Wizard Ralph, let's talk." Before he could come to his senses, Loen's voice interrupted his thoughts.
The next moment, memories of "last night" quickly surfaced in his mind.
He took a moment to assess his current situation.
He choked on more than a dozen mouthfuls of seawater, which forcibly drove away his sleepiness. His dormant soul could be said to have been completely awakened.
However, while the soul awakens, the physical body still resists the awakening.
A terrifying drowsiness still lingered in my body, threatening to spread from my physical form to my soul.
Even the burning pain from the seawater in my lungs and the violent coughing couldn't dispel my drowsiness.
"Damn it, how much sleep dust did I inhale?"
"How long have I slept?" Ralph the wizard cursed instinctively, disregarding the current situation, before returning to the sea and repeatedly sinking himself into the water to resist the onslaught of sleep.
After a dozen or so breaths, he finally sat down in the seawater, listlessly raising his head with a look of utter despair.
"Ralph has seen the Thunder Wizard and the Crimson Wizard."
"If you two have any questions, please feel free to ask."
Under normal circumstances, Ralph is a very alert wizard with extraordinary wisdom.
When communicating with people, he tries his best to take the initiative.
But now, he has given up thinking—no, he's too lazy to think anymore.
It doesn't matter whether it's initiative or not!
He had rested all night and was full of energy and his soul was very fulfilled—yet the drowsiness in his body kept assaulting his soul.
This disharmony between body and soul is a disaster for a normal wizard!
Right now, all he wanted was to answer the questions from these two dangerous wizards as quickly as possible, and then get a good night's sleep so that his body and soul could be harmonized again.
Of course, there is another way to dispel the drowsiness in his body—bloodletting therapy.
Once you release most of the blood in your body, this overwhelming drowsiness will naturally be dispelled along with the released blood.
But how could he dare to use such a dangerous method as bloodletting in front of the other two wizards?
If the released blood is collected, it will become a natural medium for the curse!
As for whether Luo Ang and the others would directly collect something from his body to use as a medium for the curse after he fell asleep... he was too exhausted to think about that now.
