Bloodline of the Wizard-Chapter 250 - 133 "Ice Soul", the most perfect test subject
Chapter 250: Chapter 133 "Ice Soul", the most perfect test subject
Soraya shook her head slightly.
"The bloodline transplant isn’t something that can be achieved so easily."
"The Kaqin family spent hundreds of years, several generations, and only scratched the surface.
After I took over the Kaqin family, I barely managed to make some progress, but it still falls far short of a true bloodline transplant..."
Soraya thought for a moment and then took out a small box from her space ring, handing it to Ronan.
"If you’re interested, you can take a look yourself... Actually, I intended to ask about your wishes. If we could successfully obtain that Third Rank Cold-Scaled Python Essence Blood containing a hint of Ancient Ice Crystal Demon Snake Bloodline, it would indeed be a waste to only use it for a ’Talent Transplant’..."
Ronan took the box and thanked Soraya.
At that moment, a figure quickly approached them from the other end of the corridor.
It was Lady Livi.
Ronan looked closely and found that Lady Livi bore a strong resemblance to Soraya in her younger days, just like the girl in the long dress in the portrait hanging in the studio, with differences only in hair and eye color.
Of course, their personalities and temperaments were also quite different.
"Grandmother."
Lady Livi approached and bowed her head in greeting to Soraya.
She seemed highly intimidated by Soraya, standing before her with none of the flair that the manor’s owner or a socialite wizard might possess, appearing rather reserved and even nervous.
"Hmm."
Soraya’s attitude towards Lady Livi was extremely cold, and even though the woman before her was truly a relative sharing part of her bloodline, Ronan couldn’t detect any affection from Soraya towards Lady Livi, far less than her indifference.
"From now on, Linus will be the co-owner of Cold Stone Manor..."
The words Soraya spoke the moment she opened her mouth caused Lady Livi to snap her head up in shock.
Soraya seemed unaware of Lady Livi’s expression, showing no intention of explaining herself, but proceeded calmly, "When I’m away from the manor, everyone must follow his will."
Having said that, Soraya turned to look at Ronan, her gaze instantly softening, almost unrecognizable from when she faced Lady Livi.
"I’m going to visit some friends; it will take a few days. If you need anything, let Livi know, she will accommodate you..."
"Yes, Aunt Soraya."
Ronan nodded, unable to see Lady Livi’s expression beside him, yet clearly sensing her body’s slight tremor. She was evidently struggling to cope with the sudden immense change’s shock and impact.
Ronan contemplated silently.
He called Soraya Aunt, and Soraya was Lady Livi’s grandmother, which added up to mean...
That made him Lady Livi’s uncle.
The world works in strange ways...
...
Night fell.
The warm light scattered by the Constant Temperature Array faintly illuminated a corner of the vast room.
Ronan sat at a heavy desk, with exquisite tapestries and paintings hanging on the walls beside him. The sound of wind and snow hitting the huge floor-to-ceiling windows filled the air.
In the glow of a crystal lamp, Ronan flipped through the materials Soraya had given him in the box.
These were detailed materials on "Talent Transplant" and "Bloodline Transplant."
"So, this is what ’Talent Transplant’ and ’Bloodline Transplant’ are all about..."
Ronan pushed aside the pile of rune stones in front of him, looking out at the raging wind and snow through the windows, gently massaging his temples with his fingers.
Everyone thought of "Talent Transplant" as something profoundly mysterious.
In reality, this method’s essence still lay in rune studies.
The origin of the White Stone Castle’s "Talent Transplant" technique stemmed from a secret realm space belonging to an Ancient Wizard; the first to explore it discovered a rune called [Ice Soul] within.
This rune’s effect was to extract the talent traits of an Ice Magic Beast and apply it to oneself like a Soul Seal.
Yet, it couldn’t be refined as a regular Soul Seal, for [Ice Soul] required the soul and blood of a Magic Beast for refining, and it would be consumed.
In the notes of the Ancient Wizard who created this rune, [Ice Soul]’s ability was extraordinarily powerful, allowing the controller to freely wield the talents and spells of various Ice Magic Beasts in battle, equivalent to gaining countless skills out of nowhere.
The only drawback was that once the [Ice Soul] within was exhausted, new Magic Beast blood and souls would need to be collected for refining again.
Nevertheless, [Ice Soul] remained an unrivaled top-tier rune, especially for wizards primarily focusing on Ice Spells.
The first explorers who obtained this inheritance were ecstatic, and after some in-fighting and struggles, those fortunate enough to survive decided to share the rune.
They established a soul contract, ensuring that none would disclose the inheritance’s existence.
These individuals were the ancestors of several wizard families at White Stone Castle.
Following a typical development trajectory, several wizards inheriting from the same magic school should have quickly risen to power on this land, making the name "Ice" echo in all directions.
However, fate played a significant joke on these few fortunate ones—they had acquired the core [Ice Soul] rune but hadn’t found a method in the inheritance to perfectly embed the refined [Ice Soul] into spiritual power and Soul Crystal!
The absence of this crucial step forced them to regroup again.
