Shameless Warlock - Chapter 49

Chapter 49: Celebration of Bone Burial Abandoned Village

Xu Nan had long since found Song Xiaocheng strange.

If he was just purely being despicable, he couldn’t have been popping up in random places around Xu Nan by accident. It was too much of a coincidence.

At last, Xu Nan understood where the problems lay!

Song Xiaocheng himself was also a job-holder and was a rarely seen [Incanter] of the Puluo World.

Strictly speaking, Incanters could be considered a type of spellcaster belonging to the arcanist empire. However, after the arcanist empire was banished, the Incanters slowly declined and eventually became a heterogeneous job.

Their spells were very complex and strangely evil. ‘Difficult to use’ was usually in their descriptions.

For example, right now…

Under Xu Nan’s questioning, Song Xiaocheng finally told him some of the truth.

“Bloodline link is the most basic bloodline curse, and it wouldn’t cause any harm to you! I can swear to the heavens, or my entire family will be struck by lightning!”

“Pooh!”

“In any case, you definitely have to believe me.”

Xu Nan coldly smiled and looked at him.

Earlier, when that chinese vampire had hopped toward them, it had merely cast a glance of interest before hopping away. However, Song Xiaocheng had been scared shitless.

When he had been brought here, Xu Nan discovered the existence of the bloodline link, and he realized that Lost Paradise was a place where he could summon his magical pet to fight with him!

Song Xiaocheng had used the bloodline link to establish a father-and-son relationship using the curse as a basis. When Song Xiaocheng had called out ‘dad’, it was most probably him casting the spell in secret. And because they were now connected, Xu Nan could then use the power of Lost Paradise to summon him over!

Fortunately, he promptly discovered this in Lost Paradise. If not, it was unknown how many petty advantages this brat would secure from him!

Xu Nan didn’t want to hear his explanations and also summoned Soupy.

Soupy was listening to songs with her headphones. Although she showed a hint of dislike to Xu Nan’s summon, she now knew that this fellow was more or less her master. At the very least, giving him respect on the surface was a must.

She looked askance at Song Xiaocheng. “Eh? You actually can summon a second magical pet?”

Even before waiting for Xu Nan to say anything, Soupy lunged over and passionately embraced Song Xiaocheng.

“In the future, you will be my little brother. Eh…why are you wearing only underwear? What are you guys going to do exactly?”

Song Xiaocheng was completely frightened.

He had been summoned by Xu Nan to an unknown place, and there was even a giant panda surveying him and finding fault in minor details. One must know that just a second ago, he had still been having fun with his girlfriend in the hotel room!

Oh ya, his girlfriend!

Song Xiaocheng suddenly thought of something. “Dad! Quickly release me. My girlfriend is still waiting for me on the bed!”

Xu Nan smiled. “Sure, as long as you remove the bloodline link, you can naturally leave.”

For this point, Xu Nan didn’t lie to Song Xiaocheng. The reason why Song Xiaocheng could be summoned here by Xu Nan was precisely because of the curse. The Lost Paradise treated Song Xiaocheng as Xu Nan’s son.

As long as he removed the curse, there was no need even for Xu Nan to act and Song Xiaocheng would be banished by the Lost Paradise.

Song Xiaocheng revealed an awkward expression. After some time, he then mumbled, “The amount of time needed for the curse to take effect is extremely slow. This curse’s main purpose is for me to steal some of your spells or skills by building a light bloodline connection with you…

“It’s true, please believe me. This won’t harm you at all. It’s a win-win situation…”

A win-win situation my foot!

Xu Nan had an unhappy look on his face. He was so young, but he already had such trash of a son. What did Song Xiaocheng mean by win-win?

Earlier when he had been checking his bloodline knowledge, he discovered that the bloodline link was indeed a more ordinary curse and wasn’t those evil spells that would harm others. But even so, Xu Nan had the feeling that he had just been robbed by a thief.

“What spells and skills have you stolen?”

Xu Nan coldly questioned.

Song Xiaocheng didn’t really want to reply. But when he looked at Soupy’s physique, he gave up all thoughts of resistance. He then mumbled, “…Just one.”

“What is it?!” Xu Nan asked.

“Initial-grade transformation…” Song Xiaocheng sighed. “I originally thought that the person who could send my mom away should be a very powerful spellcaster. I didn’t expect you to be a druid.

“Moreover, this transformation spell is to change the user into a goat! It’s completely useless!”

This fellow didn’t seem to be lying. But was Song Xiaocheng really so unlucky? Xu Nan had so many spells, yet he had stolen that initial-grade transformation?

“How about this, cast it for me to see.”

Xu Nan chortled.

He had not seen the appearance of the goat from the initial-grade transformation yet.

Song Xiaocheng had a bitter look on his face. “Do I really have to transform?”

He was still wearing his red underwear.

Xu Nan coldly laughed. “If you don’t want to, there’s no need for you to think about going back.”

His gaze surveyed Song Xiaocheng. Honestly speaking, this fellow had soft skin and tender flesh. The coldness of his gaze caused Song Xiaocheng’s heart to chill. Song Xiaocheng immediately agreed.

“I will transform, I will transform alright! But after transforming, you have to send me back!”

Xu Nan smiled. “No problem, I’m a trustworthy person.”

Song Xiaocheng unwillingly recited the incantation to cast the spell.

Soupy glanced at him curiously. A few seconds later, a whooshing sound rang out. Song Xiaocheng’s entire person became a male goat with a sturdy physique.

He could even speak the human speech. “How about it? My look isn’t bad, right?”

Xu Nan glanced at the mountain goat’s horns and felt that it was truly ferocious-looking. He nodded. It was a pity for that red underwear though. After he transformed, the red underwear fell onto the ground in fragments.

“Not bad.” Xu Nan gave a pertinent evaluation. This mountain goat’s physique was much larger than he imagined. At the very least, it proved that the transformation spell wasn’t that much of a fraud.

Soupy was slightly shocked. “So he is a goat spirit!”

“Can you send me back now?” Song Xiaocheng raised his horns.

Xu Nan nodded. “Go then.”

Song Xiaocheng turned pale from fright. At the next second, a mysterious energy enveloped him and directly banished him from the Lost Paradise.

After knowing about the existence of the bloodline link, Xu Nan was thinking of a way to remove this curse.

Luckily, the power of the Ron Warlock’s bloodline was very strong. The system didn’t give the notification to remove this curse because it thought Xu Nan had given tacit approval for the bloodline link to exist in him.

However, after Xu Nan discovered it, he could either remove the bloodline link or let it be.

What a joke! Song Xiaocheng wasn’t his flesh and blood, so how could he allow Song Xiaocheng to continue stealing his abilities?

Sadly… he had forgotten that when he removed the curse, Song Xiaocheng was still in the form of a mountain goat!

Not long later, the system notified him…

[Activity points +3,000, from Qi Zijun]

Xu Nan was startled slightly. “He couldn’t have frightened the young lady to death, right?”

After a while more, more notifications appeared.

[Activity points +1,000, from Qi Zijun]

[Activity points +2,000, from Song Xiaocheng]

Oh well, the young lady should still be alive.

Although Xu Nan couldn’t understand how he could get two rounds of activity points from her, he temporarily threw this matter to the back of his mind. He brought Soupy and began to advance into the Bone Burial Abandoned Village cheerfully.

“Eh? What’s the smell coming from you?”

Xu Nan glanced at Soupy and revealed an astonished expression.

Soupy heaved its chest and replied in a shy manner.

“I’ve started to use perfume…”

…

On Earth, in a certain hotel.

Qi Zijun felt extremely depressed.

The unfathomable incidents that occurred recently truly caused her to have a headache.

The first one was when she had gone on a date with her boyfriend; all the entertainment venues had been booked by someone.

Then today, they got a room in a hotel. But when she finished bathing and was ready to accomplish the harmonious mission of life with her boyfriend, a mountain goat that could speak the human language appeared!

She directly fainted.

Then, Song Xiaocheng had to use a spell from his Incanter’s system to forcibly bring her back to consciousness.

Although Song Xiaocheng had explained that everything was an illusion, Qi Zijun wasn’t a fool.

She kept feeling that Song Xiaocheng was hiding something from her.

“Recently, you have been getting very close to this person named Xu Nan. Tell me, what exactly is going on?”

Qi Zijun snorted coldly.

Song Xiaocheng wanted to cry when he saw his bloodline link to Xu Nan being removed. “Don’t talk about him, okay? Ever since I met him, I feel that my life has started to darken.”

He subconsciously hugged Qi Zijun, wanting to console her.

However, at the next second, he was pushed aside.

“Scram!”

“Why do you have the smell of another person’s perfume? And where did your underwear go?”

“Song Xiaocheng, you better give me a good explanation! If you don’t explain clearly…I…I…I’ll go look for Xu Nan!”

At that instant, there were ten thousand grass mud horses (vulgarity) galloping in Song Xiaocheng’s heart.

…

Lost Paradise.

Xu Nan was strolling around the Bone Burial Abandoned Village. After he had made Song Xiaocheng transform into a mountain goat, he had been receiving many activity points from this couple.

The gaining in points persisted until now. He couldn’t help being astonished at the number of points this couple was generating.

However, very soon later. His attention was focused on the village.

He had completely no clue about this dungeon.

Earlier, he had thought that it would be one the ordinary dungeons where he simply had to slay monsters. But now, he discovered that this wasn’t the case.

The Bone Burial Abandoned Village was a place where the undead gathered. But the creatures here didn’t possess strong battle intent. Regardless of a skeleton soldier limping past Xu Nan or the chinese vampire that was hopping around, all of them seemed to be pretty friendly.

When Xu Nan passed by them, they would still use the common language to greet him.

Although the name was ‘abandoned village’, it was still pretty lively. There were all sorts of dead lifeforms gathered here. They seemed to treat this place as their settlement.

When Xu Nan and Soupy entered the village, the undead beings didn’t seem nervous at all.

He and Soupy strolled for a long time, but ultimately, they still didn’t discover special places.

Luckily, not long later, the system provided a hint.

[Two members have Joined the Bone Burial Village’s 19th Anniversary Celebration. This dungeon officially begins!]

[Please use the most wonderful circus performance to awe all the undead here!]

[The victor will have a chance to inherit the inheritance of the Necromancy Warlock, Mr. Kane!]

Xu Nan glanced at the hint for a few seconds before shifting his gaze to Soupy.

“Can you let me smash a giant rock on your chest while you are lying down?”

After hearing this, the bamboo stick, which Soupy was chewing on, dropped onto the ground!

…
