Chapter 34 - Memory Extraction

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The more the merman priest thought about it, the more worried he became. He felt extremely hopeless about his future.

During the month that he was captured, he had thought about this more than once. If he had reported this to the human merchants, would he not have ended up like this?

Unfortunately, there was no way to start over. He could only take responsibility for what he had done.

The merman priest was lying on the high ground, reminiscing about the past, while Lei Luo was receiving the inherited memories of the Poison Dragon Race.

There was a lot of knowledge that Lei Luo could not understand at the moment. It would accumulate in the depths of his mind. In the future, his memories would naturally surface when he saw what was in his memories. He would not miss out on treasures because of his knowledge. Furthermore, he would not accidentally fall into some traps. As a result, these memories helped him to go further.

This was another advantage of the Poison Dragon bloodline, besides their physical memories.

Recently, Lei Luo had constantly been receiving inherited memories. Other than precious treasures, he had already learned about magic and magic arrays.

The Memory Extraction Spell was a type of magic.

The magic talents of the Dragon Race were not weak. However, because of their strong magic resistance and physical resistance, they usually did not need to use magic to deal with many things, but Lei Luo was not at that level.

Lei Luo, who had been taking in the inherited memories with his eyes closed, suddenly smiled. His tail slapped the ground unconsciously.

The Memory Extraction Spell had appeared!

Ordinary magic did not qualify to enter the inherited memories of the Poison Dragon bloodline. Only magic that was either extremely powerful or special could enter the inherited memories. The Memory Extraction Spell belonged to the latter category.

It was special enough to extract the memories of living beings without damaging their bodies.

Of course, if the living beings resisted, then damage was unavoidable.

The Memory Extraction Spell was not complicated. It relied mainly on the Dragon Race’s powerful mental strength to crush the enemy. If the enemy did not resist, it would be very easy.

After receiving the Memory Extraction Spell, Raylo suppressed his excitement and began to absorb the subsequent memories.

Half an hour later, he had finished receiving the inherited memories.

Lei Luo opened his eyes and started chanting softly.

As the dragon language sounded, layers of golden ripples appeared in front of Lei Luo’s glabella. This was the spiritual power that was mobilized by his magic.

At that moment, when it entered the mind of a living being, the memory extraction would begin.

Perhaps because of his identity as a transmigrator, the amount of spiritual power that Lei Luo had activated was abnormally large.

After watching for a long while, Lei Luo stopped chanting and rested for a while before continuing.

Magic required practice. Otherwise, if there was a mistake, the merman priest would be killed and the memory extraction would fail. Wouldn’t it seem unnecessary?

However, outsiders were unable to see the spiritual power. However, they could sense it from a close proximity.

Meanwhile, the merman priest was sprawled on the high ground. From that distance, he couldn’t sense Lei Luo’s mental strength. In his opinion, the Poison Dragon that imprisoned him had gone crazy today. It opened its mouth and closed it, as if it was mentally unsound.

Furthermore, it sustained this action for a long time. The priest did not know how long it would do it for.

“This is an opportunity. Anyway, he’ll deal with me sooner or later. I’ll draw the magic array before he finds out. If he finds out, I’ll just die early.”

The merman priest’s expression changed. Then, his face sank and his body began to wriggle.

By rubbing against the ground and breaking the surface of his skin, he would draw blood and activate the magic array. It did not matter whether he succeeded or not. After all, he did not intend to continue living such a life.

He could not move around every day and could not commit suicide even if he wanted to. He could only wait for the unknown judgment.

Also, Sharbao would forcefully feed him every few days to prevent him from starving to death. Every time Sharbao came, he would mock him.

All sorts of sad experiences from the past month surfaced in his heart, making the merman priest even more active. He did not care about being discovered.

Soon, the abdomen of the merman priest was broken and blood flowed out. Because of his movement, the shape of a magic array gradually appeared.

However, without manual adjustment, it was very crude and could not be activated.

Sensing this awkward situation, the merman priest raised his head and looked at Lei Luo. When he realized that Lei Luo was not paying attention to him, he secretly cast a spell to heal his right hand.

As a Level-4 mage, his body automatically recovered. However, every time it recovered, it would be broken again.

Therefore, he had been suppressing his recovery since half a month ago. Now, he had completely let go.

As the healing process continued, the merman priest felt that his right hand was unusually comfortable. He tried to move his arm and thought about the pattern of the magic array in his mind.

Suddenly, he felt his vision turn dark as the sunlight was blocked.

The merman priest looked up. Since the figure was back-facing the light, he could only see a rough outline of the figure.

Lei Luo smiled coldly and said, “What is it? Are you treating your arm and trying to carve a magic array?”

After he finished speaking, he didn’t give the merman priest a chance to explain himself. He directly knocked the priest out and brought him to the flat ground.

After moving away, Lei Luo discovered that the blood stains below the merman priest had already formed a circle. It was obvious that the priest had not given up on summoning human experts.

“Fortunately, I obtained the memories for the Memory Extraction Spell. Otherwise, I would have to give up the secret treasures of the Merman Race.”

Lei Luo let out a breath and decided to extract the memories of the merman priest tomorrow to get rid of this hidden danger. At the same time, he wanted to see what Shardin and Sharbao were thinking.

If there was no danger, he could let one of them go back and let the Merman Race collect information about the human world.

Lei Luo did not tell Shardin and Sharbao that he would extract the memories of the merman priest. If the two of them knew about it, Lei Luo was afraid that they would have other thoughts. Furthermore, if the merman priest resisted the memory extraction, he would have to be tortured. This would be a blow to Shardin and Sharbao. After all, Lei Luo still needed to use the two of them later on.

At night, Sharbao came ashore to feed the merman priest. He was stunned when he realized that the merman priest had changed places.

Lei Luo glanced at Sharbao and explained. “I’ll dispose of him tomorrow. You don’t have to feed him tonight.”

“After that, I’ll do a magic test on your minds. Then, I’ll let one of you go back to your race to take a look.”

Sharbao did not care about the merman priest. However, when he heard the last sentence, he said happily, “Alright, I’ll go back first.”

He had only managed the race as the tribe leader for less than half a day, yet he had stayed on this island for a month. How could he be satisfied?

Now that he had the chance to return, he was naturally happy.

The next day, Lei Luo, who had slept for a night to recover his mental strength, left the island early in the morning with the merman priest.

He was going to the sea area where he usually hunted to conduct the memory extraction. Then, he could bring his prey back to eat at night.

At the bottom of the sea, Shardin and Sharbao looked up as Lei Luo flew by.

Shardin asked, “Sharbao, how do you think the merman priest will be handled?”

Sharbao shook his head. “I don’t know, but there’s no point in knowing that. At this stage, we should follow the Poison Dragon and fulfill all its requirements. We can only strengthen our race if we survive. Besides, there’s nothing bad about following that Poison Dragon. With its talent, it’ll definitely achieve something on the continent in the future.”

“We’ve been helping him all along. This can be called a tremendous contribution, and our names can be recorded in history.”

“Just wait patiently. He’ll do a magic test on us today. Then, we can return to our race afterwards..”
