Baruk's affairs are almost taken care of.

Regulus raised his eyes and saw Aragog in the distance. It was waiting there and did not dare to get closer. All eight eyes were glued to Baruk. He waved his hand towards it.

Aragog first clicked Mosag a few times. The female spider was not very intelligent and could not understand much. She only recognized the meaning of her spouse.

Mosag turned around in confusion, dragging its bloated belly along the spider web, and crawled towards the nest.

Aragog then crawled over and got closer. Several pairs of compound eyes scanned back and forth around the eight eyes of Baruk.

Then he moved forward again, opened his chelicerae slightly, and passed over Baruk's body. He put his head closer to smell its scent.

Changed again.

It was different from the last change, and it couldn't understand it, but it knew that this heir was different again.

Aragog's main pair of eyes faced Regulus, and several pairs of compound eyes were still scanning Baruk's body relentlessly, scanning again and again, but nothing could be found.

It moved my mind.

This wizard did Baruk twice. The first time he was not afraid of fire, and the second time there was something more. Talking to trees?

It wants it too.

"You said," Aragog's voice was rough and low, with hesitation. "I can make a request."

Its pairs of compound eyes all faced Regulus: "Let me become like Baruk."

Regulus looked at it with calm eyes.

Then he turned his head and glanced at Hermes.

Hermes happened to look up and caught his eye.

Hermes lowered his head guiltily.

He said the same thing just now, with the same tone.

He had just been thinking for a long time about the difference between wanting to learn and wanting to be transformed, but he hadn't figured it out yet. Now that he heard this giant spider asking for the same thing, he couldn't tell how he felt.

What this spider wants is exactly the same as what he wants.

He and a spider are talking to the same person and want the same thing.

Regulus withdrew his gaze and turned back to Aragog with a casual tone. "Are you sure you want to use it here?"

Aragog was startled for a moment, and it also began to think about it.

In its pairs of compound eyes, one pair is hesitating, one pair is greedy, and one pair is thinking.

At first, it just thought that the wizard cub was not easy to mess with. He would set fire to it, so he couldn't afford to mess with it, so he had to endure it.

Later, it saw that Baruk had been changed, and knew that this wizard was not only good at setting fires, he also had the means to change the foundation of a group. Acromantula's fear of fire was engraved in his body from the moment he broke his shell, and he changed it.

Now it has been changed to talk to trees, and it is not afraid of fire, which is something other Acromantula does not have.

In other words, what this wizard can give is far more than what he initially thought.

But Baruk is no longer just its heir, Baruk is now the wizard's spider.

It has nothing to offer in exchange, only the pending request.

That request is the only bargaining chip in its hand, and the prerequisite is that the wizard admits it.

Fortunately, the wizard really confirmed it and had no intention of lying.

But just because I recognized it, I didn't dare to use it casually.

Would it be willing to give it a try?

It has seen both things with its own eyes and wants both.

But this wizard adds something different to Baruk every time.

The first time is not afraid of fire, the second time is talking to trees, what will the third time be?

Take the only request and replace it with something you have already seen. What if the later one is better and more powerful?

Then it loses money.

It is Wise Spider, and it never suffers.

.. No!"Aragog's chelicerae were completely closed, and the light in his compound eyes dimmed: "I'll keep this for now."

But it didn't stop there, it had more tricks up its sleeve.

"Let it leave offspring," Aragog's compound eyes glanced over to Baruk, with its main eye facing Regulus: "It and the mother spider of the group." Then he thought about it and asked, "Will its offspring be like it?"

Regulus felt something in his heart.

It's a good idea. He also wants to know whether the descendants of Baruk will have the characteristics of Magic Power that it has now.

The reproduction of Magical Creature is no different from that of ordinary creatures. Spiders give birth to spiders, and it is impossible to give birth to birds. Magic Power will of course be passed down along the bloodline. But Baruk is not a natural product now, although the race Acromantula was not a natural product in the first place.

If the modified artificial species reproduces again, no one can say whether the children born will bear the characteristics of the modified Magic Power.

Even if you bring it, now is not the time.

Baruk If you want to have descendants, you should consider them after they are complete.

Now, we can only produce semi-finished products.

"It's my spider." Regulus said slowly.

Baruk squatted next to him, with eight legs on the ground, the spider's head raised slightly, and its claws made two clicking sounds.

"It's okay to breed, but once you breed, you have to pay for it." Regulus looked at Aragog: "What do you want to exchange for it?"

Aragog was completely stunned, and the lights in its pairs of compound eyes were confused.

Why do you even care about this?

Mating and reproduction are natural, spiders beget spiders, and spiders beget spiders, and so it goes from generation to generation.

Baruk is an adult male spider, a healthy adult. It mates with the female spider of the group and leaves offspring. This is a natural thing. It should have its own offspring.

It arranges for a mother spider for its offspring. Why do you need to ask for a price for such a thing?

Are all wizards so unreasonable?

Is it possible to prevent spiders from mating if you have the ability?

Don't you mate yourself?

It wants to argue, but it knows that arguing is useless.

How could a wizard who could exchange sex for money care about a spider's argument?

Aragog The light in several pairs of compound eyes changed from confusion to collapse, from collapse to grievance, from grievance to unwillingness, and finally it was all taken back, leaving only a little unspeakable grievance.

It squeezed out a sentence: ".. what can I give you."

Regulus felt happy in his heart, and spoke in a relaxed tone without embarrassing it, "You can think about it yourself, and then talk about it after you think about it."

Think about it, if you can figure out what I want, I have to thank you.

Aragog fell silent. Several pairs of compound eyes fell on Regulus's face. They paused for a while, then slowly withdrew their eyes and fell into deep thought. Regulus glanced at Hermes again.

Hermes, a wizard, wants to be transformed, but doesn't want to learn.

Aragog, a spider, wants to be gifted with power, but is reluctant to ask, and wants to breed in vain.

An instinct derived from animals, excusable, but limited.

One comes from human laziness, and this is exactly what he is dissatisfied with.

Regulus didn't look at them again.

He squatted down, put his hand on Baruk's back, and Magic Perception reached in.

The new module is very stable. The light blue and white Magic Power has flowed from the grafting point into the root of the visual branch system, and is connected to the original Magic Circuit of Baruk.

There is no problem with the integration. Magic Power of Bowtruckle and Natural Magic Power have the same origin, and the rejection reaction is extremely light. After Natural Magic Power was used as a translator to build a bridge, there was almost no fight between the two sides.

But being connected doesn't mean it can be used well. With the outward-facing window open, Baruk can vaguely feel the vegetation, but trees don't like spiders. This is a natural selection, and it cannot be eliminated by Magic Power grafting alone.

Baruk wants to talk to the tree and take root in the Forbidden Forest ecosystem. Magic Power alone is not enough, the tree must really know it and accept it. This process cannot be rushed, it must be left here to grind slowly.

That's fine, it just so happens that it also takes time for the new modules to grow together.

"You stay," Regulus took back his hand and patted Baruk's back. "Go visit those trees every day and let them know you and let them know that you are a good spider."

Baruk was stunned, with eight amber eyes facing him.

The front legs were lifted up and hooked on the hem of his robe, not using much force, and pulling gently. The white light around the eight eyes dimmed, and withered along with its emotions.

Its rough voice was filled with urgency. ".Regulus... Don't want a spider?"

Regulus smiled, took a step forward, and got close to its big head. "I come to see you every day."

From Castle to the edge of Forbidden Forest, Disillusionment Charm hides its figure, Levitation Charm flies directly, it takes a few minutes to reach the edge of Forbidden Forest, and then Apparition comes in. Ten minutes is enough for a round trip.

No effort required and no waste of time.

Baruk shook the spider's head, with its front legs still hanging on the robe, and then began to bargain. "Twice... every day." Regulus responded directly, "Okay, twice."

Baruk loosened its front legs, pulled back a bit, and turned to Hermes: "Little spider."

Hermes raised his eyebrows and glanced at Regulus first. Seeing that he didn't look at her, he stepped forward and reached out to pat Baruk's big head. Baruk's brain The bag raised up to avoid his hand, and at the same time its chelicerae opened with a clanking sound, attracting Hermes's attention. The other front leg stretched out covertly and quickly, close to the ground, and hooked towards Hermes's leg.

Hermes fell on his back among the rotten leaves, and his robe was covered with broken leaves.

Baruk retracted his legs, eight amber eyes looked down at him, his chelicerae opened and closed twice, making a series of sounds, and he said very proudly, "Little spider."

Hermes was sitting on the rotten leaf, looking up at this two-meter-long giant spider, and became even more greedy.

Who wouldn't want one of such a capable and capable thing?

He stood up, patted the dead leaves on his robe, curved the corners of his mouth upwards, and quickly took it back.

He thought he should say something, and after holding it in for a long time, he only managed to say, "Awesome."

Baruk's chelicerae opened wider, the spider's head raised upwards, and it made another series of buzzing sounds, which was obviously very useful.

Regulus turned to Aragog and said, "I come every day."

He just said it, without any intention of threatening or intimidating him.

However, Aragog's reaction was a bit weird. He rolled his compound eyes for a while, and then managed to say, "I got it."

It did have some small thoughts at first and wanted to talk to Baruk alone after the wizard left.

Let's talk about the white spots around its eyes and how it manages to be immune to fire. There is always a way to find out. But now that the wizard says he comes every day, its little thoughts have to be put aside for now.

"Let's go." Regulus waved to Baruk, turned around and walked out of the depression.

Hermes Follow up.

Baruk was reluctant and followed eagerly for a while, rubbing his eight legs, hoping that Regulus would turn around.

Regulus turned around and waved again.

Baruk There was a series of buzzing sounds, and the sound bounced back and forth in the forest.

It propped its eight legs on the ground, watching Regulus's back walking further and further, followed it a few steps forward, and then stopped.

Regulus put his hand on Hermes's shoulder, snap, Apparition.

Forbidden Forest At the edge, the morning light has turned into the noon sun, falling straight from the top of the head, making the withered yellow grass shine.

The mist on Black Lake has long since dissipated, and the lake water is sparkling in the sun. There are already several little wizards chasing each other on the grass beside the lake, and laughter and shouts can be heard across half of the lawn.

The two walked out of Forbidden Forest, and their eyes suddenly opened up.

The outline of Castle spread out under the clear sky, and the windows reflected the light.

Regulus and Hermes walked in tandem, walking in the direction of Castle under the warm light on the ground.

As he approached the Castle gate, Regulus casually said, "I've been here today, don't tell anyone."

Hermes nodded.

He always complied with such requests, and after nodding, his brows were slightly furrowed.

He was still thinking about the question just now.

He and a spider want the same thing from the same person.

So what's the difference between him and a spider?
