I have an Apocalypse City

Chapter 444: Chapter 444: Bloodline Wizard

“…If you truly can rescue me from this cage, then I, Wallace Laman, in the name of the God of Truth, pledge my loyalty to you as your vassal!” Laman muttered.

“Laman, aren’t you afraid that after being freed on day one, you might never return here?” Song Jian laughed.

“No, your level might not be high, but you already have the strength to solo kill an elite, level thirty boss. This area is full of level thirty monsters. I know, you God’s Chosen have a magical skill that allows you to hunt monsters in this world and level up quickly. This area of level thirty monsters is a leveling treasure chest. You’ll definitely come back here to level up!” Laman confidently replied.

“Your judgement is very accurate, so, let’s sign the contract. Once the Follower’s contract is signed, I’ll set you free from this prison.” Song Jian laughed.

NPCs recruited within the estate system are very weak characters, considered commoners among NPCs. No matter how long they train, at most they can become home guard militia with very limited growth potential.

These NPCs recruited from the estate system can only serve as wait staff, construction workers, apprentices and the like. Only NPCs recruited from these outdoor cages exhibit unique skills.

Take the Beastman Warrior that Song Jian met previously for instance. Not only was he individually powerful, but he also had the talent to tame beasts. He could domesticate normal beasts into war beasts to assist in battles, maybe even using them as mounts to form a Beast Cavalry.

The human soul captured before his eyes – in his previous life he was a wizard with the power of the first order. You should know that wizards, also known as “scholars,” possess an abundance of knowledge, even if they have lost their bodies and their combat power has declined, that knowledge remains a valuable asset.

As much as God’s Chosen select Followers, Followers also choose their God’s Chosen. Clearly, Laman is very satisfied with Song Jian, so he willingly signed the Follower’s contract.

It took Song Jian more than half an hour to destroy the stone tomb and release Laman.

A semi-transparent pale blue figure floated out of the tomb, took a deep breath, and emotionally said: “I never thought I would get the chance to breathe freely again!”

After a moment of emotion, Laman knelt on one knee in front of Song Jian, placed his right hand on his chest respectfully and said: “Wallace Laman the wizard will become your Follower, never to leave you!”

“Wallace, I accept your loyalty!” Song Jian said as he helped Wallace up.

The moment Wallace pledged his loyalty, all his attributes were openly revealed to Song Jian.

“Wallace (Soul Body), Job: Bloodline Wizard, Level 30, Strength: 30, Agility: 25, Stamina: 33, Spirit: 50, Mana: 500/500.”

In the Follower’s interface, there are many attributes of Wallace described in detail, including traits, skills, and even his past experiences.

“Wallace, why have so many of your skills been sealed?” While Song Jian was carefully reviewing Wallace’s attributes and skills, he couldn’t help but frown.

This situation had never happened before. Even the previous Beastman Warrior, despite becoming a slave, had retained all his skills.

“I apologise, Master. In my previous life, I was a Bloodline Wizard. All my power came from my bloodline. Now that I’ve lost my body, many of my bloodline spells can no longer be cast.” Wallace explained apologetically.

Although Song Jian had speculated this might be the case, he felt slightly disappointed when it was confirmed. After all, Wallace had once been a first- order wizard. If he were to preside over the alliance, Song Jian believed, no alliance would dare to invade them at their current state.

“How can we restore your former power?” Song Jian pondered for a moment. Turning Wallace into a logistical officer like Dr. Ebsiting would obviously be a waste. But if Wallace couldn’t regain his previous strengths, then in the future he could only provide Song Jian with advice based on his extensive knowledge.

“There are two ways to restore my power. One is to switch and practice as a Soul Body Wizard from now on. This is the easiest way, but it would take a long time since I would have to start over from level one and adapt to this new role.” It was clear Wallace had thought deeply about this, and he spoke quickly.

“The second way is to rebuild my previous body. I would need a powerful new body with the bloodline of an ancient creature. The stronger the bloodline, the more powerful I will be. This is the quickest method, but obtaining a body with the bloodline of an ancient creature is extremely difficult.”

Wallace, with a look of regret in his eyes, said: “My previous bloodline was from the Flame Giant Wolf, which is only of average grade among Bloodline Wizards.”

Song Jian had a thought, finally understanding why Wallace willingly approached him to become his Follower after he killed the Gryphon Beast.

“You want to use this blood essence to recreate your body so that you can have the bloodline of the Hopla Gryphon Beast, right?” Song Jian took out the blood essence that emitted a blue glow, held it in his hand, and laughed as he said to Wallace.

Wallace knelt on one knee, touching his forehead almost to the ground, and said: “Yes, Master. Please forgive my selfishness. The Hopla Gryphon Beast is a magnificent creature. Its bloodline is much superior to the Flame Giant Wolf, it is only second to the Dragon Bloodline. If I can recreate my body with its bloodline, my power will quickly recover to the first order, and I may even have the potential to break through to a higher level of power!”

Song Jian said nothing, playing with the blood essence in his hand, a playful smile on his face as he gazed at the kneeling Wallace.

“Wallace, can I trust you? Can you forever be loyal to me, never betraying me?” Song Jian slowly said.

“Master, I swear on my soul as a Bloodline Wizard, if you can recreate my body for me, I will forever be loyal to you, never betraying you. Even if the whole world were to be destroyed, I will always stand behind you!” Wallace lifted his head; determination etched on his face.

Out of nowhere, Song Jian felt a thread of contract energy connecting him to Wallace. If Wallace were to break his promise in future, his soul body would suffer massive damage, weakening his soul severely, or worse, causing him to dissipate completely.

With a slight nod, Song Jian laughed: “I think the Hopla Gryphon Beast’s bloodline is not suitable for you. Maybe, you should have a superior bloodline!”
