Chapter 108 New Talent – Adaptation
Lathel sighed, he knew he and Alec were no longer capable of being allies.
But Lathel also felt lucky in his heart because he had made?Lilith help him sign a peace contract with Alec.
If he hadn't done that he would be really afraid of Alec's revenge.
Lathel said calmly: "Do you think I don't have the courage to say it back? Alec, it seems your memory is very poor. Don't you remember that there is still a peace contract between you and me?"
"Idiot!"
Alec clenched his teeth so hard that he wanted to crush them. He shouted angrily: "Lathel! Don't think I can't kill you. Even if there is a peace contract between us. I still have thousands of methods to kill you."
Lathel shrugged: "It's up to you." He then looked at Malina again, and using a cold and contemptuous voice he said: "Don't think you can use your 'green tea' style to trick me."
"You seem to be the daughter of a Marquis, right? You should know what my current identity is. If you want, with just one word from me, you will become a prostitute in a brothel today."
"If you don't believe it, you can try me."
Hearing that, Malina's face turned pale. At this moment, she was really scared. Malina never thought that Lathel would act differently from the way she imagined him.
"I… I…" Malina stammered, not knowing what to say.
"Bastard!" Alec shouted: "Are you a man? Why do you still bully such a poor girl?"
"What's wrong?" Lathel shrugged and said: "Are you going to be her knight ?"
"You…" Alec grabbed Lathel's collar. Of course, he had no intention of actually attacking Lathel. After all, he was afraid of the punishment from the peace contract.
Suddenly, a hand with five claws reached out towards Alec, startling him and making him jump back.
Although he acted very quickly, five deep cuts appeared on his left shoulder, and fresh blood spilled out, wetting his sleeve.
Alec gritted his teeth, he raised his head and saw the maid who had helped Lathel down from the carriage.
At this moment, two wolf ears appeared on her head, and behind her back was a waving wolf tail.
Her hands now also revealed sharp claws, and even the claws on her right hand were stained with some of Alec's blood.
That maid frowned and said: "Whoever harms my master... dies!"
Alec saw the maid's eyes turn into wolf eyes and was scared.
He didn't think that an ordinary maid would be so strong that she could almost kill him.
Alec gritted his teeth, he wanted to fight back, but Medos's voice rang in his head: "Alec, don't resist. That girl is very strong, she is likely an 'Assassin', as her speed is very fast."
"Besides, her level is also very high. If you really confront her, you will definitely lose."
"What?!" Alec was startled, he angrily replied: "Teacher, I have the Black Rose Flame, how can I lose to her?"
"Believe me… I don't want you to lose to a servant either." Medos sighed and said: "But this is the truth. Don't worry, we still have many opportunities. When you advance to a higher level, you can take revenge."
Although Alec was very angry when he heard that, in the end he chose to retreat. After all, the opponent was much stronger than him, and besides, he still had a chance to get revenge.
"Lathel… I will not forget this feud." Alec gritted his teeth and said.
Lathel shook his head and replied: "I hope you will forget. I have no intention of becoming your enemy anyway, but you always confront me."
"Alec, I want to ask a question, do you really want to become my enemy?"
Alec smirked, he did not answer, instead he just took Malina and left.
Malina glanced at Lathel, for a brief second, her eyes were filled with hatred and jealousy.
But only for a second, then Malina turned her head, and used her hair to cover her eyes.
Lathel raised his eyebrows and looked at those who were paying attention to him: "Do you also want to test how hot a Duke's anger is?"
When the crowd heard that, their faces also showed fear. Even though they talked like they were lovers of justice just now, the situation now was different.
After witnessing the exchange, they immediately realized how great the difference was between a Duke and ordinary nobles.
The crowd quickly dispersed, many people even bowed their heads to apologize and ran away.
Lathel breathed a sigh of relief. At this moment, he turned his head to look at the maid, smiled and said: "Thank you."
The maid was extremely excited when she heard that. Her tail fluttered like a helicopter's wings and her ears kept moving, making her look extremely adorable.
"Hehehe… this is my responsibility. Master, don't worry, I am very strong, if anyone bullies you, I will kill that person."
"Hahaha… You don't need to do that." Lathel smiled and said: "Okay, I'll go inside, goodbye."
"Goodbye, master, hehehe…" The maid smiled and waved her hand. Then climbed onto the back of the Drake, sat up there and waited for Lathel.
…
Lathel approached the entrance to the Enchanter Tower, he saw Straghor and nodded to greet him.
Straghor was happy when he saw Lathel and quickly walked to his side: "Lathel, I'm waiting for you."
"Heh?!" Lathel frowned, as he listened to Straghor's words, he felt as if something very troublesome was about to happen to him.
Straghor smiled and said: "First of all, congratulations on becoming a Duke."
Lathel waved her hand: "No, I was only adopted by a Duchess, I didn't fully become a Duke."
"Hahaha… that makes no difference." Straghor smiled and replied: "I have important news to tell you."
Lathel glanced at Straghor, sighed and said: "You mean about Earl Bourban's daughter?"
"Heh?! How do you know?"
Lathel: "…"
Looking at Straghor's expression, Lathel just wanted to find another entrance to the Enchanter Tower, as he did not want to see this person again.
It was clear that Straghor was trying to push him into Count Bourban's 'Camp'.
In fact, if this place did not have the presence of the main characters, Lathel thought that he could try to save Earl Bourban's daughter.
Because when he heard Straghor talk about Bourban, he felt that the man was a true gentleman. And of course, he also wanted to see that man live happily and not wallow in unhappiness because of his daughter.
Straghor sighed and said: "This is both good news for you, but also bad news for Earl Bourban."
"Hm?! What do you mean?" Lathel asked confusedly.
"Last night, Earl Bourban's daughter suddenly vomited blood. Even though she was saved by other Pharmacist Enchanters, it seems like her life will only last for a short time." Straghor sighed as he spoke, as if understanding very well Bourban's misfortune.
Hearing that, Lathel frowned and asked: "Besides you, does anyone else know this news?"
"This information is top secret. I only know this Because I know a few good Pharmacist Enchanters." Straghor explained.
"Of course, Earl Bourban also increased the reward. He even added an energy crystal from a Rank D monster to the bonus."
Hearing that, Lathel immediately frowned, he felt a bit strange.
Yesterday, Cauldron mentioned another method to replenish his energy: by using monster energy crystals.
Today, Straghor told Lathel that Count Bourban would reward those who could save his daughter with additional energy crystals from Rank D monsters.
Everything was so coincidental that it made Lathel feel suspicious. However, Lathel thought carefully and felt thatthis event should have been for Alec.
But…
Lathel frowned, he thought for a long time, then sighed and said: "Good! You can give me an invitation."
Straghor was happy to hear that: "Do you really want to participate in saving his daughter?"
Lathel nodded, but then shook her head: "I will just take a look. If no one can save her, I will try my luck ."
"However, I will only try, I can't be sure that I'll cure her."
"Hahaha…" Straghor smiled and said: "Don't worry, I understand."
He took out an invitation card and gave it to Lathel: "Go to the address written on the invitation card and give the invitation to the gatekeeper."
Lathel nodded, put the invitation in the space bag, then left.
He walked and thought, not knowing whether his decision was right or not.
However, as he was thinking, he felt that Bourban seemed to be a good father, and he did not want to let him wallow in misfortune.
When Lathel was still living on Earth, he was an orphan, so he longed for the feeling of having a family of his own.
He recalled when he was young, anytime he walked in the park, he saw children being taken care of by their parents.
Seeing the happiness of other families, he always yearned in his heart that one day, he would also have a family like that.
Although later on, he had a good career, but things were not as he imagined.
Thinking of this, Lathel sighed. As he walked, he opened his personal information panel and started 'signing in' today.
[Ding! Congratulations on your successful 'sign in'. You have gained a new Talent - Adaptation.]
…
Name: Adaptation
Type: Talent
Rank: B
Description: Your body can adapt well to all living environments and even viruses or toxins that enter your body.
…
Lathel was startled when he saw the new Talent. Although the description was quite small, he knew how incredible this Talent was.
If the description was correct, then even if he has cancer, as long as he endures it long enough, his body will gradually adapt, and find a way to destroy the cancer cells.
And to go further, he doesn't need to worry about aging or being poisoned by others.
Combined with his B-Rank Healing Talent, he was now almost immortal. Unless... he falls under the Vampire's curse or is burned to ashes.
Otherwise, there will be no way to kill him.
After receiving the new Talent, Lathel was much happier, everything that had just happened was forgotten by him.
In his heart, he silently thanked Dandite, the goddess of luck, and of course he also thanked the system.
Lathel was very happy that he didn't need to do weird quests, all he needed to do was just 'sign in' every day to receive great things.
