Lord of Mysterious Wizard

Chapter 113: Chapter 113: A Gift

Snap!

A simple knock from Professor Cassel confirmed it was the definite answer.

He did not hesitate nor harbor any suspicion.

It was merely a verbal agreement that did not catch his attention at all, as the professor, though devoid of secret medicine knowledge, was still immersed in his joy.

But at that moment, within the embrace of Tang Qi.

Those strange, cold ears glowed red simultaneously, circulating briefly before quickly disappearing.

A mysterious contract was thus formed.

As if sensing the movement inside, Tang Qi’s face revealed a radiant smile, then he uttered the words that plunged Professor Cassel into utter ecstasy.

“Then, let us begin.”

…

In the abandoned Tomb Guardian’s wooden house, the ritual was over.

In front of Tang Qi, there still lay the decayed coffin, with Fosca inside, appearing no different from before except for the absence of the glass bottle in Tang Qi’s hands.

But upon closer inspection, one could notice some subtle changes in Fosca at this moment.

His face, which should have been expressionless, now strangely manifested a complex expression.

Pain!

Joy!

Two vastly different expressions mixed together, presenting an especially eerie sight.

As his body remained completely still.

At the bottom of Tang Qi’s eyes, intense ghost light gathered, and that special image reformed, only this time with some variations.

An Information Fragment revealed the changes occurring within this Puppet.

[Information Fragment: An old and greedy soul has occupied this shell, devouring Fosca’s weak soul which will take some time. Once successful, this Puppet’s body will undergo an unknown mutation.]

Aside from the intense ghost light, the Uluu Puppet going through the dreadful “possession” tragedy.

Inside the coffin, there were many Curios.

Most of them, powerful Black Witchcraft Curios.

With the power of these Curios, if acquired by a Black Witchcraft Apprentice, they could instantly gain combat power comparable to that of a wizard Professional.

Had it not been for the glaring mark ‘Marked by Samra,’ Tang Qi would not have chosen to give them up.

Compared to these Curios, another very conspicuous thing inside the coffin, Tang Qi gave up without any psychological burden.

That was a treasure map, the familiar treasure map.

An Information Fragment appeared on it, containing a number.

“Number: Thirty-Nine!”

Just as Tang Qi had speculated, Abu indeed owned a treasure map.

It was also because of this treasure map that attracted almost all of Abu’s attention, this ambitious wizard might have been looking up the past secrets before Tang Qi’s “visit.”

Just like the Manatee Sea Demon, he too was trying to find the Sealed Land of Lord Confessor.

Using the treasure map to release what’s referred to as the High Priest, or simply coveting the High Priest himself.

Without this map involving Abu’s attention, his scheme might not have proceeded so smoothly.

Now, Tang Qi left this map here without hesitation.

After looking around to make sure he didn’t leave any traces, Tang Qi lifted the coffin lid, and before closing it, he smiled and said to Professor Cassel who was struggling to possess within: “Well, Professor, have a good sleep inside here for a while, good luck!”

“Bang!”

After resealing the lid, Tang Qi quickly put the filled coffin back into the graveyard.

After erasing all traces and restoring the site, the suppressed fatigue surged up, and Tang Qi vaporized, swiftly returning to his own small building.

He went straight to the bedroom on the second floor, didn’t even change his clothes, and sat down in a lotus position to enter a state of meditation.

About an hour later, Tang Qi woke up.

Feeling the replenishment of his spiritual power, his mood was very pleasant.

After quickly taking a shower and changing clothes, Tang Qi went to his workbench.

Before clearing up his acquisitions, Tang Qi first took out the pair of eerie ears.

After a careful examination, an image emerged.

[Curio: Mysterious Contract Ears.]

[State: Used.]

[Information Fragment One: It has borne a contract, the parties are Tang Qi and Rick Cassel, the content of the contract has been authenticated and is unchangeable.]

[Information Fragment Two: Should either party breach the contract, the punishment is an intense self-destruction, with the energy provided by the Contract Ears, and before activation, the other party must shout “Long live Hastu.”]

When the two information fragments appeared, the corners of Tang Qi’s mouth lifted slightly.

He was very satisfied with the effects of the Contract Ears; they were indeed a prime choice for betrayal.

However, upon further contemplation, the conditions for using this curio were quite stringent.

On the surface, there’s only one rule: Both parties must pay an equivalent price.

But fulfilling this was not easy.

Tang Qi could manage because Professor Cassel was in a dire situation.

He was near death, he needed a body, Tang Qi gave him a transcendent body and gifted him a plethora of curios, greatly increasing the success rate, thereby earning the Contract Ears’ approval of their “verbal agreement.”

Would Professor Cassel betray him?

Tang Qi almost had no doubts, he didn’t even need to use special abilities, merely his perception of human emotions could tell.

“He will definitely betray me.”

“When Samra digs him out of the coffin, facing a powerful witch, and the creator of that puppet body, Cassel’s spinelessness will almost immediately lead him to betray me. Then he will find out he cannot do it.”

“He won’t be able to utter my name; he would only be able to shout ‘Long live Hastu’, and then boom – he explodes.”

“I believe Samra will enjoy this gift.”

Tang Qi said pleasantly as he stored the Contract Ears in the safe.

Whether it’s the puppet or the curio, Samra would easily find them, and next time she would likely manifest in her actual body.

Even if this super bomb couldn’t kill Samra, it would continue to blame Hastu Club.

However, recalling the past, Tang Qi merely mimicked that monster from the hospital, sporting a suit and a white mask.

This allowed Samra to recognize its origin, indicating that Hastu Club, at least in Secret Phoenix State and the neighboring states, is a well-known extraordinary force.

Originally, Tang Qi had prepared a “business card”, but since Samra had prematurely recognized and pinned a black mark on Hastu, there was no need for Tang Qi to overdo it.

In his serial schemes, there was actually one last step.

A potential aftermath that may or may not occur. If the family is annihilated and Samra herself is gravely injured, she might seek out Old Morgan who hasn’t “died” yet, which would be Tang Qi himself, and then…

“I’m looking forward to it, a powerful witch’s resentful soul, how delicious will it be as fuel?”

Muttering, Tang Qi returned to his workbench with a brilliant smile.

Then, he took out all his gains from this trip and began to tally them up.
