Chapter 802: Cold Flame Stimulation, Obtaining an Opportunity to Read

Three days later, Xia Duo completed the final Drow spell. After one last correction, he finally finished measuring the current state of the Magic Net.

Although not precise enough, it was sufficient for use.

The facts were indeed as he had expected; the Magic Net environment on the Surface and the Main Plane did not differ much. The differences were mostly superficial elemental variations, and the deep structures, if not completely identical, were at least not enough to affect Spellcasting.

The reason Xia Duo still had to measure the state first was mainly because the Magic Net in the Underdark was more violent and harder to control than on the Surface.

If he completely ignored the differences and did not perform Spell Adaptation, his Spellcasting ability would not be enough to cast spells normally here.

In other words, if a Drow Mage went to the Surface, they might be even more powerful.

At the very least, in terms of Spellcasting control, a Drow Mage who grew up in a violent Magic Net environment would be more powerful than a Surface Mage who grew up in a gentle Magic Net environment.

……

Next, since he already knew the state of the Magic Net in his current environment, logically Xia Duo should complete the Spell Adaptation as soon as possible, but there was one thing he was already impatient to finish.

Carrying the Magic Item wand given by the female instructor earlier, Xia Duo walked back and forth in the Training Ground several times, finally finding a spot that felt the coolest.

He stuck the wand into the ground, his hands trembling as he prepared to untie the wide leather strap covering his eyes, but a pair of powerful hands suddenly appeared and grabbed him, "What are you doing? Do you not want your eyes anymore?"

It was Ba'er!

Xia Duo had not expected Ba'er to have been following him the whole time; if nothing went wrong, this guy must have been hiding in the blind spot of the wand's detection.

However, he did not point this out, but instead asked: "I feel like I have already adapted to the environment here, why can't I take it off?"

Ba'er did not explain, only silently activating a Magic Item.

The next moment, that voice which often appeared in Xia Duo's mind and could not be shaken off appeared again, saying coldly: "Well done! Go collect your reward!"

Maluxisi dismissed Ba'er very casually, then looked at Xia Duo with an obsessed gaze, murmuring: "You've lost weight!"

"……"

Xia Duo's scalp immediately went numb; could it be that after not seeing her for a few days, she wanted to be beaten again?

Sure enough, Maluxisi's next sentence was, "Follow me!"

Afterwards, she even teleported directly to the previous courtyard. Xia Duo felt that there was no light outside, so he immediately removed the Protection from his eyes; these past few days had stifled him.

Although Darkvision was not as rich as normal vision, it was at least much better than being blind. Having experienced days of losing his eyes, Xia Duo had an infinite longing for sight.

Of course, this did not include the naked Drow.

A whip was forcibly stuffed into his hand. Xia Duo sighed silently, swung the whip, and lashed it hard against Maluxisi. While whipping, he cursed viciously in his heart: let you be cheap, let you be cheap!

If Maluxisi could hear his inner voice, would she crush him to death, or let him continue?

……

After a round of whipping, Maluxisi's perverted needs seemed to be satisfied, and her attitude gradually turned cold. Without even having time to put on clothes, she began to interrogate Xia Duo: "Why didn't you obey the arrangements?"

"I think I'm ready!"

Being servile in front of such a pervert would likely be counterproductive. Xia Duo looked at her without fear, even secretly hoping that the other party would attack him, so he would have an excuse to return to the Main Plane.

He was a little worried that if he stayed here any longer, he might be infected by the pervert and become a pervert himself.

This was not Xia Duo worrying needlessly; the environment can affect a person's psychology and physiology, which is a scientifically verified conclusion on Earth.

And he was not a Bodhisattva in Earth mythology whose spiritual realm was Non-Retrogression, so naturally, he would worry about being affected by the environment.

But even in her cold state, Maluxisi did not seem to have any intention of attacking him, which made Xia Duo feel a little disappointed.

"Since you think you can, then look at this!"

Maluxisi suddenly raised her palm, and a ball of pale Cold Flame appeared in her palm. This Cold Flame was like a piece of white dancing in the dark night, with no light.

Only then did the flame light gradually brighten, but just from this, Xia Duo could not help but squint his eyes; he felt a sharp pain in his eyes.

Maluxisi kept the flame light at a faint brightness, illuminating her dark face in a somewhat eerie way. She stared at Xia Duo without blinking and said in surprise: "You really do have talent!"

However, just after finishing, her tone turned cold again, "If it is only this intensity, it is not enough for you to remove the Protection in the Training Ground!"

Xia Duo was silent, expressing his agreement with Maluxisi's words. He was not "Brandon"; he was a Surface dweller, and he knew very well how strong the flame light Maluxisi had just displayed was.

It could only be considered the faint starlight of the night on the Surface, perhaps even less than that!

It seemed that his judgment of the light intensity in the Training Ground also had quite a few deviations.

……

Seeing Xia Duo silent, Maluxisi put away the light flame, then turned to lean gently against his body, biting his ear and whispering:

"In the future, you will spend half the day in the Training Ground and half the day back here. I allow you to read books in my private library."

"Ah?" Xia Duo was suddenly pleasantly surprised.

He had been considering for the past few days what way he could be allowed to enter the Kelaorui Family library; relying solely on his Father-Servant status was probably not enough.

But he did not expect Maluxisi to give him a surprise here. If he had known it would be like this, he could have been much more vigorous when whipping her.

"I know you have Mage talent and are not content to be an ordinary warrior. I will fulfill you!" Maluxisi's gentle voice sounded in Xia Duo's ear again.

Upon hearing this, Xia Duo immediately understood: that Magic Mark he still hadn't figured out must have a surveillance function!

Besides adapting to the light environment there, the thing he did most in the Training Ground these days was trying to cast spells and demonstrating spells that "Brandon" was not previously good at.

So this was considered ambition?

Xia Duo felt that his and Maluxisi's thoughts were never on the same channel; perhaps this was the difference in their worldviews. However, now that he had finally obtained the opportunity to collect Knowledge, it was a major piece of good news.

……

"I want to become a Mage, can you help me?" Xia Duo responded to Maluxisi's words and began to make demands quite directly.

Being spoiled and proud, at worst, he would just use more force next time he whipped her.

Maluxisi had an "as expected" expression, rubbed against Xia Duo's body a few times, and turned back into her previous cold appearance. While putting on her clothes, she replied:

"Yes, after you complete the mission, I can personally guide you, and at the same time, I allow you to get into my bed!"

"……"

Sure enough, the brain circuits were different. Only then did Xia Duo understand that not serving in bed was not because the other party was uninterested, but because he was not yet qualified.

He immediately understood the timing for returning to the Main Plane; serving in bed was absolutely an act that crossed his bottom line, and he could never accept it.

As for the mission, he had already been at the training camp for several days and had gained some understanding of it; if nothing unexpected happened, once he finished training, he would head to the Surface with the other Scouts to launch an attack on the Elves.

……

After Maluxisi announced the mission rewards with a cold, tsundere attitude, she returned to her gentle demeanor, told Xia Duo that he could have Ba'er take him in and out of the Training Ground later, arranged for Xia Duo to rest, and then quietly left.
