This wizard only wishes to be a teacher

Because if this group of half-faeries also followed their leader in transforming into fire spirits, then the pressure Mentor Lucien would have to bear would double.

And thinking about this level, Carly became completely restless.

She quickly stood up, and then carefully started to run along the edge of the building, trying to avoid the core area of the conflict. Under the somewhat astonished gazes of the few half-faeries, Carly rolled in and suppressed the nervousness in her heart. She then looked at the few guarded half-faeries and softly uttered a single word from her mouth.

"Negotiation."

The half-faerie with antlers on her head narrowed her eyes at this moment. She remembered that the Carly in front of her, although a half-faerie too, had always followed close to Lucien and had a very close relationship with him.

If she could control Carly, she might gain some bargaining power with Lucien.

However, without external conditions to assist her, she could at most control one servant. If she wanted to control Carly, she would have to give up control of the young boy, and there wasn’t even a guarantee of success...

Lou weighed the pros and cons in her mind and ultimately decided not to take action, but exchanged a glance with her companions.

They had not accompanied their leader Maelbely to her death precisely because they still had dependents to worry about.

Especially since after Maelbely’s downfall, they were the strongest in their tribe. Although most of the powerful members of the tribe had entered the ruins and had mostly perished, in the outside world, there were still many young tribe members waiting for their protection.

Although they had been mentally prepared before entering the secret realm, just the thought of those weak tribe members falling into an even more difficult situation without their protection was quite distressing.

And now this pure-blooded Half-moon elf seeking them out seemed to give the two half-faeries a lifeline of hope.

"I hope you can make a move to help Mentor Lucien resolve the willow man as soon as possible," Carly said to the two half-faeries at the Third-Level Wizard Apprentice tier, feeling a slight sweat in her palms.

"Why should we help humans? You traitor..."

The elder Qi waved his hand to interrupt the young tribe member’s abuse, silently watching Carly with a tone that had the gentleness and stability of an elder.

"Then... If we negotiate with you, what can we gain from it?" Qi’s somewhat turbid eyes looked at Carly, yet they were very sharp. The other half-faeries silently picked up their weapons.

Given their current state, they definitely couldn’t contend with Lucien, but if they were just to cause him some trouble, or even slightly disrupt Lucien’s attack rhythm, that they could do.

However, they also understood that once Lucien was also killed by the willow man, they would definitely not have a chance to escape, and their ultimate fate would certainly be to be stuffed into the willow man’s chest into the flame cage.

But this kind of desperate action would only be a last resort, and the half-faeries wouldn’t go to extremes under normal circumstances.

Just like the half-faerie who had just abused Carly, even though his gaze was still somewhat defiant, as if disinterested, his body was tensed up, clearly paying close attention to what Carly was saying.

"A way out." Carly took a deep breath, looking at the few half-faeries, "I can promise..."

"Your promise is useless." Qi opened his eyes, his look ancient, "Although I don’t know which clan you belong to, nor why you chose to follow a human wizard, or perhaps you were transformed from a human."

"But your will does not represent your mentor’s will, and furthermore..."

"I know you have a bloodline curse in your bodies. Mentor Lucien and I were researching it in the lab before!" Carly became somewhat anxious, she quickly relayed this piece of information, instantly drawing the attention of the half-faeries,

"While I have yet to understand the principle behind this bloodline curse, I’m now certain it has some connection to the ancient faerie runes, like some very special witchcraft model. Just give me some time..."

Carly looked at the few half-fairies with an extremely serious expression in her eyes.

She had not lied, previously out of curiosity, Lucien, after helping Carly transplant her Bloodline, had also spent his free time researching the Bloodline curse within the body of that half-fairy.

However, Lucien’s research aim at that time was to design a more targeted witchcraft, taking advantage of the natural existence of the Bloodline curse inside the bodies of those half-fairies for effective lethal damage.

After a failed attempt, Lucien had temporarily shelved his research on this type of Bloodline curse. However, Carly was quite interested in it, although she hadn’t worked out anything particularly detailed, she did have a rough direction.

Carly herself hadn’t expected that her initial small interest could become the key to persuading these half-fairies at this moment.

The curse... A desire flashed in the eyes of the few half-fairies, after all, those who had not personally experienced this kind of periodic long-term torment would never understand that pain.

Moreover, at this point, they had nothing left to lose.

"I need you to swear with your Bloodline on what you’ve just promised." Qi looked at Carly but quickly stood up and ran toward the central battlefield where Lucien was engaged with the fire spirit and the willow man.

...

"This is really troublesome, and the supply of venom prepared has also been almost used up. Looks like I can only try to unlock some of the seals on the Spirit Sea... although it might cause some damage to the Spirit Sea..." Lucien was still competing in endurance with the fire spirit.

And as the depletion continued, Lucien also had to consider some victory methods that would come with a great cost. However, just at that moment, a flower made of water flew in from a distance; just when Lucien had differentiated a highly toxic python ready to entangle, he found that the water flower was actually there to help him suppress the fire spirit.

Hmm? Lucien turned his head, only then to see Qi, the half-fairy manipulating the water Magic, from not too far away. Although he did not know why this half-fairy was assisting him, Lucien also had to admit that the support was very timely.

And soon, Lucien noticed that another Level 3 Wizard Apprentice class half-fairy had joined the battle; invisible waves of spiritual power began to constantly disturb the fire spirit, causing its body to experience a slight tremor.

"Good opportunity." Lucien quickly grasped the opportunity, gently caressed the Witch Tool ring he was wearing, and released the witchcraft [frost tornado] that came with the ring.

The frost converged, temporarily binding the fire spirit within it; although this Zero-level Witchcraft couldn’t restrain the fire spirit for a long time, it at least allowed Lucien to temporarily break free from its entanglement, turning to charge at the willow man that the fire spirit had been protecting behind it.

"Die!" Lucien’s eyes showed resolve as he also spurred his spiritual power, rapidly condensing a silver moon blade in the process of closing in.

The willow man, sensing the threat from Lucien, hastily wanted to call back the fire spirit to defend, but it was still a step too late.

This willow man was originally just for the trial of Level 3 Wizard Apprentice class Trialists, so its actual strength wasn’t particularly exaggerated. Under Lucien’s attack, it quickly couldn’t cope and revealed a fatal flaw.

Lucien’s moon blade flew out, swiftly slicing through the willow man’s already somewhat damaged exterior branches and then stabbing into a fiery red Crystal Stone that was wrapped inside its chest cavity.

"Explode!" The moment the moon blade stabbed in, it was detonated, and the explosive damage at that instant completely shattered the willow man’s life crystal core.

Boom—

As the life crystal core inside the willow man shattered, its body collapsed as if falling apart, leaving only some branches with lingering flames still burning on them.

And the fire spirit, having already broken free from its confinement, issued an unwilling roar of rage before dissipating, with the sound echoing endlessly within the somewhat hollow chamber.

Lucien exhaled a breath and then looked over to the Purple Leaf Rune and three shiny badges left behind on the ground as the fire spirit disappeared.
