Wizards: Starting with the Refined Meditation Technique Guide

Chapter 37 Mandela Siren, Bloodline Abilities

"The song of a siren?" Leo frowned and asked, "Lord Nova, is this a wizard's spell?"

"No, this is the bloodline ability of the demonic creature Mandela," Nova explained.

"The Mandelaine is a bewitching creature from the Crimson Sea. They have dangerous songs that can easily drive listeners to obsession and madness."

"These knights had previously come into contact with the Mandela Siren and listened to its song, which is why they have fallen into this state of madness."

"It should be said that it wasn't just them; the other knights on this ship were also affected by the siren's song, including you, Knight Eiffel and Knight Carella."

Hughes was startled and asked, "Lord Nova, what about Danville and me? Are we also affected by the siren's song?"

Nova said, "The Mandela Siren's song is primarily based on spiritual energy, so it has a relatively weak effect on wizards."

Upon hearing this, Leo pointed the longsword formed from his magical hand at Eiffel and the other two.

Since they've all been infected, should we just kill them?

This action startled Eiffel and his companion quite a bit.

Eiffel and Carrie quickly said, "Wizard Danville, we're fine, we really aren't being controlled."

Seeing that the two had clear eyes, Leo did not withdraw his magical hand, but instead glanced at the other knights.

It turned out that, apart from the knights who had attacked him earlier, the other knights all had clear eyes and seemed to be fine.

Nova said, "Don't worry, Danville, the effects of the siren's song on them aren't too strong. As long as their willpower is a little strong, they won't be affected. And for the Grand Knights, the effect is even weaker."

Upon hearing this, Leo slowly lowered the Magic Hand longsword.

However, Leo did not completely believe Nova's words. He twitched his fingertips, and seven-colored dragon scales appeared on his fingertips.

Leo, who possesses the Seven-Colored Dragon Scale Encyclopedia, can easily utilize the power of this Seven-Colored Dragon Scale.

Leo discovered that the seven-colored dragon scales did not react when facing Eiffel Knight and Carella Knight.

However, when John and the other knights attacked him, the Seven-Colored Dragon Scales clearly sensed malice.

Leo then confirmed what Nova had said.

Seeing Leo lower his sword, Eiffel and Carrera breathed a sigh of relief. They didn't want to fight this god-like figure; that would be suicide.

Upon hearing this, Eiffel breathed a sigh of relief, but looking at the subdued knights, he asked nervously, "Lord Wizard Nova, how long will it take for the siren's song to stop?"

Nova said, "Once the source of the interference is not addressed, it will never resolve itself."

"Do you have a way to forcibly stop this siren's song?"

Nova affirmed, "Yes."

Before Eiffel could even feel happy, Nova said, "However, it will cost one hundred magic stones per person."

"There are six people here, and a total of six hundred magic stones."

Upon hearing this, Eiffel smiled wryly and said, "Master Nova, you're putting me in a really difficult position. I'm just a lowly knight captain; where am I supposed to find so many magic stones?"

"Then throw them into the sea to feed the fish," Nova said. "Or find another first-class wizard apprentice who is willing to not accept magic stones to rescue them."

"We wizards follow the principle of equivalent exchange. If you can't pay with magic stones, then you'll have to find a solution yourself."

Nova said coldly.

Upon hearing this, a flicker of struggle crossed Eiffel's eyes. Then, he waved his hand and asked, "Master Nova, could you help them regain a brief period of lucidity?"

Although John and his men were insignificant ants in Nova's eyes, they were valuable fighting forces to the Knights.

Nova said, "Sure. That's easy, just 10 magic stones."

Eiffel breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, I'll give it to you."

He can still afford to give 10 magic stones.

After Eiffel gave Nova 10 magic stones, and Nova didn't do anything, the six knights regained their senses.

As soon as they regained consciousness, they looked utterly dejected.

"My God, what insane thing have I done? I actually attacked a wizard."

"I've gone completely mad. I actually lost my mind and attacked a wizard."

John looked at Leo with a face full of despair and said, "Danville, believe me, attacking you just now wasn't my intention!"

Leo did not speak.

Judging from what Nova just said.

If these people don't pay the magic stones, they're basically doomed.

However, Leo used his fingernails to retrieve the seven-colored dragon scales again.

The seven-colored dragon scales, which had previously sensed malice towards John and his group, did not react this time.

Seeing that Eiffel hadn't gotten to the point, Nova reminded her, "This spell only keeps you conscious for five minutes. You'd better ask what you want to ask as soon as possible."

Eiffel approached the knights and said, "Gentlemen, I know you must be quite confused right now, but I have to say something."

"I have a way to save you, but each of you needs to pay one hundred magic stones. You must sign a contract to earn one hundred magic stones in the future to cover this expense. Although I am a high knight, it is impossible for me to bear such a large sum of magic stones for you."

Leo asked curiously, "Wizard Nova, is one hundred magic stones a large expense for knights?"

Nova nodded and said, "Of course. You should know that the tuition fee for wizarding buddings like you at the Tower of Dawn is only one hundred magic stones per year. Many wizarding buddings leave the Tower of Dawn with regret because they cannot afford the tuition fee and are unable to become wizards."

"If it were a knight, it might take them decades to earn that many magic stones."

Leo also realized what was happening.

Knights were not as prestigious as wizards.

If Chris and Molly struggled so much to earn a hundred magic stones, it must have been even more difficult for these knights.

"However, this only applies to ordinary knights," Nova said. "For grand knights, or knights of even higher rank, one hundred magic stones is still affordable."

Meanwhile, John's six knights were all caught in a dilemma when they heard that they would have to pay one hundred magic stones to be restored to their original state.

One hundred magic stones meant they would have to become great knights to be able to repay them.

However, becoming a great knight is not that easy.

John's eyes were clear, a hint of determination flashing within them, and he spoke, "Danville."

Leo looked at John and said, "Yes, John."

What kind of person am I in your impression?

Without hesitation, Leo replied, "...Stranger."

If John hadn't appeared in front of him, Leo would have completely forgotten that John even existed.

"A stranger... In other words, in your eyes, from the very beginning, I was just a passerby with little presence..."

John gave a wry smile.

He felt that he might feel better if Leo answered the clown.

As it turned out, Leo hadn't paid any attention to him at all.

John said, "Sir Eiffel, I have made up my mind."

Give me the sword.

Upon hearing this, Eiffel's expression changed, and he said, "John, you can continue to think about it."

"No need, I've already made up my mind."
