Chapter 624: Bud Cottage |
Based on this, Janna was certain that among the Law Authority mastered by the Demon God 【Gorgon–Medusa】, there must be an authority related to “ice and snow.”
As for Janna, who took the 【Four Seasonal Laws】—namely 【Spring Order】, 【Summer Order】, 【Autumn Order】, and 【Winter Order】—as her comprehension target, finding a place entirely formed by the power of laws, such as this “ice and snow phenomenon,” would greatly benefit her future comprehension of the 【Winter Order Law】.
Of course, the place Janna had originally planned to comprehend the 【Snow and Ice Law】 was the 【Extreme Cold Secret Realm】 within Vivian’s family. However, the temperature there was still too cold for her current level, and the law environment leaned more toward extreme cold mixed with a “death aura,” rather than a purely law-simulated winter environment like the ice valley within the Glacier Secret Realm.
However, even when faced with such a suitable environment for comprehending the 【Snow and Ice Law】, Janna was not in a hurry.
Her current primary goal was to push the comprehension progress of the 【Law of Growth Fragment】 and the 【Law of Resurrection Fragment】 to 50% as soon as possible, condense them into 【Law Seeds】, and then fuse the two seeds into the 【Spring Order Law】, thereby advancing in one step to become a formal wizard.
Only after advancing to a formal wizard through the 【Spring Order Law】 did she plan to continue comprehending the other three seasonal laws, especially the 【Winter Order Law】.
After all, among Janna’s current 【Wizard Talents】, there was no talent compatible with “ice and snow authority,” which made it extremely difficult for her to comprehend the 【Snow and Ice Law】 during the apprentice stage.
Because of this, the most ideal approach was to wait until she became a formal wizard and then rely on the inherent connection between the 【Spring Order Law】 and the other three seasonal laws to complete the comprehension of 【Laws】, thereby completing the first 【Secondary Law】 of the 【Law of Nature and Life】—namely, the comprehension of the 【Four Seasonal Laws】…
“Crunch—crunch—”
“Finally full?”
Seeing that the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】 did not continue its “attack” on the second piece of 【Flesh Meteor】, Janna finally let out a long sigh of relief.
Having already invested enormous “sunk costs” into cultivating the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】, Janna had no way to turn back now. She only hoped it would not become a bottomless pit that required endless resource feeding—otherwise, she would truly be eaten into poverty.
“Crack—”
As Janna observed, the well-fed 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】 returned to its original unremarkable “pineapple form.” However, this time, a dense network of spiderweb-like cracks appeared on its metallic shell. As the cracks spread, they soon covered the entire golden surface of the seed.
“It’s starting!”
Suppressing her excitement, Janna quickly took out a glass vial containing her own blood from the White Tower Ring and dripped it onto the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】.
With Janna’s current physique, even though she was not a bloodline-type wizard apprentice, her skin toughness was already beyond what ordinary blades could easily cut.
For example, when performing the 【Contract Summoning】 ritual, her original mithril short knife could not even cut her palm, forcing her to later purchase a high-priced, permanently enchanted surgical blade with higher mithril content just to barely draw blood.
As for the blood prepared in the vial, it had been deliberately preserved from the time she performed the 【Ancient God Contract】 ritual with the Demon God 【Gorgon–Medusa】…
“Drip—drip—”
As the crimson droplets slowly fell onto the surface of the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】, a blood-red light suddenly burst out from its cracks. The light spread rapidly, and within moments, it enveloped Janna as well.
“This is…”
Due to the incident with the Bloodred Archduke, Janna had developed a slight PTSD toward any phenomenon related to “blood.” After a brief moment of panic, she quickly calmed down.
“So the appearance of the Miraculous Alchemical House needs to be designed by the holder?”
While enveloped in the blood-red light, Janna received information transmitted from the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】.
The main content of the information was that, as the holder, she could now use her mind to outline the appearance of the 【Miraculous Alchemical House】 she desired.
Once the seed received the mental blueprint, it would transform accordingly to match her intent.
Of course, if the holder lacked imagination and could not determine the form, the seed would bypass the holder and lock into a default shape on its own.
“Then let it take this form.”
After a brief consideration of aesthetics, practicality, and concealment, Janna quickly sketched the desired appearance in her mind and transmitted it to the 【Miraculous Alchemical Seed】.
Receiving her “command,” the seed rapidly expanded. In no time, the golden seed—originally the size of a pineapple—swelled into a massive structure as large as a five-story building.
“It worked!”
As the blood-red light gradually dissipated, a gigantic flower bud with a green stem and deep pink petals appeared amidst the white snow.
“It’s a bit too big… it would be better if it were smaller…”
The moment this thought crossed Janna’s mind as she admired her 【Miraculous Alchemical House】, the enormous bud rapidly shrank, soon becoming a gently swaying bud about three meters tall.
“How magical. This Miraculous Alchemical House can adjust its size freely according to my thoughts… I wonder what it looks like inside…”
As her words fell, the closed deep-pink bud slowly blossomed before her…
