The Divine Hunter Chapter 24: Elixir and Evolution
A simple but neat room.
The house is smaller than Roy imagined, but although it is small, it is well-equipped. There is a bonfire in the center of the hall on the ground floor. An old iron pot hangs on the fire. Next to it is a utility room with two empty shelves. , requiring the new owner to make a large purchase to fill it up.
"Crunch."
Roy stepped on the old cedar stairs that extended diagonally upward from near the door to the second floor. Looking around, there were two bedrooms on both sides of the narrow passage. The layout was surprisingly consistent - they were covered with straw mats and A wooden bed with fur blankets, a square locker at the foot of the bed, and a brand new ram candlestick at the bedside.
Other than that, there is only the moonlight that shines into the bedroom through the wooden window, making the room quiet and peaceful.
Tonight, the two bright moons in the sky are particularly moving.
"From now on, this will be my foothold in Skyrim Province." Roy lay back on the bed, curled his mouth, and thought of Frien's expression when he saw the new house, excited and excited My son is like a virgin on his first date with his girlfriend.
As for Avel, he was relieved and a little confused. His daughter's last wish had been fulfilled, and he seemed a little aimless for a while.
Now, after a hard day's battle, the exhausted two people have probably fallen asleep!
And Roy gently stroked his aching chest and abdomen, and wiped away the blood seeping from the corners of his mouth.
HP: 100/320 (broken internal organs, burning with dragon's breath, transformation with dragon's blood)
The injury was quite serious. A normal person would have been unconscious long ago, but "activation" could barely suppress his injury and prevent it from getting worse.
But it treats the symptoms rather than the root cause.
He sat cross-legged and meditated for two hours.
Until you are full of energy and full of magic.
Shua——
Three long-necked bottles filled with liquid suddenly appeared on the small square birch wood table in front of the window.
The color varies from dark red to bright red to light red.
They are the blood essences of Mirmenir, Grufeld, and Coral respectively.
Under the pale moonlight, the three bottles kept flashing with lustrous light, and abundant magic bubbles surged in them, as if they were breathing.
It is worth mentioning that the blood of the dragon is different from the latter two.
The magic within is composed of soul and light.
On the other hand, the magic power in the blood of high-level vampires and sorceresses is the chaotic energy from another world!
This is slightly different from the formula for the tempering elixir that the Mirror Master gave him. After all, the Mirror Master at that time was based on the dragons in the Demon Hunter world.
But he has no choice!
Roy stood in front of the wooden table, holding the table with both hands, his dark gold and silver-gray pupils radiating firm light, and took a deep breath,
Crash!
The ten fingers were waving in the air like lightning.
He poured three bottles of blood into a fist-sized transparent special glass in one go, with a steady and skillful technique, without spilling any water!
The mixed liquid instantly settled into three distinct layers. From top to bottom, they were coral, Grufeld, and Mirmenir's blood. The silver dividing lines between layers were extremely clear.
Gulu!
The witcher's movements are like the ink and brush of a skilled painter, full of indescribable beauty.
More than ten kinds of pre-processed herbal materials were poured into the cup one after another - calendula, buckthorn, rose petals, long Rubber grass...
Stir repeatedly.
The water surface was filled with vortexes, and a large number of bubbles emerged from the bottom of the bottle.
The mixed solution begins to change color rapidly.
It was mixed at first, then turned dark red, then turned into indigo... As the color changed, the volume of the liquid in the cup also decreased rapidly.
What started as a full bottle was evaporated and concentrated into a half bottle.
After ten changes, it finally condensed into a finger-thick, shallow layer of dark golden liquid.
An indescribable, bone-deep sweet fragrance floats out of the cup and fills the air, like a devil whispering in the ear, which is irresistible.
"Gulu"
The sound of swallowing saliva.
A pair of slender and strong palms held the cup in it.
The magic power that belongs to Roy surges out of his fingertips, passes through the glass barrier, merges into this layer of liquid, conflicts with it, and merges with it.
Looking carefully, countless small components in the liquid are acting violently, changing violently like a comet hitting the earth, colliding, and turbulent!
It seems to be spraying sparks.
Exactly ten minutes later.
Three hundred points of magic power are used up, and the magic blending is completed - the form of the elixir changes again, as quiet as the calm water of an ancient well, and as deep as the starless sky.
Roy picked up the cup and shook it gently. At this time, the liquid medicine had lost all its smell and was as light as white water.
Roy looked at its quality through the moonlight. Just one glance, and his body and soul were completely absorbed.
Hardening elixir
Ingredients: Blood full of magic and vitality (dragon, mage, high-level vampire), longrubber grass...
Effect:
This medicinal liquid contains extremely rich heterogeneous magic power and vitality. After interacting with the blood flowing in the drinker's body, the ordinary blood will be converted into blood with greater magic affinity, thereby enhancing the body's talents and potential.
The thin bloodline in your body - the ancient blood will evolve.
Note: The elixir of tempering is extremely unstable, its effect continues to decrease over time, and it will completely lose its effectiveness after one hour. After drinking, the elixir will purify the blood vessels throughout the body. This process is accompanied by extreme discomfort and has a certain possibility of death.
Roy shook his head and smiled. He had survived two grass trials. What sins and tortures had he not experienced?
What's more, the matter has come to this, and he has no room for regret!
Roy hesitated for a second, then reluctantly untied Alondette and Gurwisiel from behind and placed them on the locker beside the bed.
Using the newly learned Imperial Chinese, he wrote a simple and crooked message.
If he is unfortunately killed, the two swords will be given to Frien and Avel respectively!
"Gulu gulu."
The cup tipped and the witcher raised his head.
A stream of warm liquid slid over his tongue and mouth, pouring into his intestines and stomach. It was far smoother than the dragon's blood he drank before.
Bang!
The empty cup fell to the ground.
Roy sat cross-legged on the bed and closed his eyes to feel.
A warm stream of heat rose up from his stomach and enveloped his entire body. Suddenly, he felt as if he had soaked in a hot spring. The moving hot spring water massaged his whole body, making every cell of his body happy and happy.
However, within a few seconds, this comfort turned into discomfort and tingling.
Any place where blood flows becomes a fierce battlefield.
The two sides facing each other are elixirs and blood.
They fought and collided, as if countless steel cones were drilling into Roy's flesh and blood, poking at his blood vessels, muscles, bones, and skin.
The witcher quietly lay on his side from the cross-legged position on the bed, curling up.
Thin drops of blood oozed from the skin, bleeding from seven holes, dyeing the blanket red.
Cold sweat and blood blurred his face, and the extreme pain stimulated the veins and blood vessels that stood out like earthworms, making him look hideous and terrifying.
A hoarse gasping sound came from the throat.
The cheeks are bulging, and a silver tooth is about to be broken.
However, he did not cry. The pain of drinking the flying lion monster potion was worse than death, which was even more despairing!
The elixir smashes through the defense line constructed by blood, swallowing and assimilating them.
The ordinary blood in the demon hunter's body was swallowed up in large quantities by the elixir, and amid the heavy siege, an extremely rare golden blood appeared.
Blood of the Ancients!
Not only were they not threatened by the elixir, they turned into evil dragons and attacked one after another, swallowing up the ingredients of the elixir that had been assimilated into the blood, including the vast magic power and vitality attached to it!
The ancient blood crazily absorbs nutrients, divides and expands at an alarming speed, and attacks cities and lands,
Hmm.
Five minutes later.
The witcher on the bed murmured softly, and his cheeks that were almost twitching relaxed.
The golden blood in the body has swallowed up all the elixir of tempering!
One-fifth of the blood in the entire body of the demon hunter is converted into golden ancient blood, and they seem to have spiritual intelligence, occupying the most critical internal organs and brain of the human body.
When the ancient blood is thin, it just hides lazily in the demon hunter's body and refuses to move, but it can grow strong enough to occupy one-fifth of the body. They change their survival strategy and begin to slowly and actively transform the blood, creating More of the same kind.
However, the elixir of tempering has been swallowed up by them and lacks nourishment.
The transformation is so slow that it may take hundreds of years to complete the transformation.
The demon hunter on the bed opened his eyes, and his pupils shone brightly like the bright moon in the sky.
He flashed, jumped out of the window, and disappeared from Xueman City.
……
Crash.
Roy held up a spring of water and wiped the blood on his face and body.
The crystal clear stream flowing around Ximu Town revealed a heroic face, which was slightly different from the previous Roy.
His facial features took a step closer to those of Ain Sheedy, his ears completely turned into the pointed ears of a half-elf, and his facial contours became more distinct. He reached out and touched his teeth.
Wry smile.
His teeth have lost their original pointed canines.
This is a distinctive feature of Ain Sheedy.
However, there are also gains and losses, and a lot of information passes through the template:
"You swallowed the elixir of tempering, all your injuries are healed, your health is 330/330 (health)
You drank and bathed in dragon blood, your body withstood the transformation, and received the blessing of dragon blood (passive): constitution +1, strength +1, and resistance to fire increased by 20%.
……
The thin ancient blood in your body evolves.
Ancient Blood (Passive): The oldest bloodline of the Ain El tribe. Those who inherit this bloodline possess all kinds of incredible powers.
The ancient bloodline enters the early stage of awakening, and your affinity to elements and magical energy increases.
……
Your intuition and fighting instincts are further improved, and your ability to awaken——
Lucky (passive): When faced with a major decision, your intuition will let you choose the best option, seeking good luck and avoiding bad luck,
……
Your ability to control space has improved, and the abilities related to it have evolved——
The magic power cost of flickering is 15→8, the magic power cost of teleportation is 30→15 (these two abilities cannot cross the world), and the magic power cost of summoning spells is reduced by 50%.
Plane barriers can no longer stop your journey of exploration, you have awakened your abilities——
World Gate lv1: Inspire the space power of the ancient blood in your body, consume 200 magic points, and immediately open a random door at any point in a spherical area with a radius of two meters centered on your body, or pointing to a landmark. Space gate (can cross worlds), the gate lasts for five seconds.
Note: It is best to determine the reliability of the space beacon beforehand to avoid getting lost in a foreign land. This process involves unpredictable risks.
The cooling time is one day.
……
The fragments of time (dragon souls) you devoured combine with the awakened ancient blood to create a unique ability.
Circle of Time lv1: Stimulate the power of time from the ancient blood in your body, consuming 200 magic power. Taking the "now" time as the starting point, specify a spherical area with a radius of at most 2 meters to move the time to the past or the future to a certain moment, with a range of 20 seconds.
The status of things in the ring will change synchronously.
Only the caster's memory is unaffected by the Ring of Time.
The cooling time is one day.
……
Lucky One, Gate of the World, Ring of Time.
Surprise and astonishment flashed in Roy's eyes. If he remembered correctly, Ciri was also in the early stages of awakening the ancient blood, but her talents were Lucky One, the Daughter of Time and Space, and the Source of Dharma.
Two of them are different.
"Is it possible that the transformation of the template made the ancient blood adapt to me."
Most of Ciri's abilities are uncontrollable, such as prophecy and traveling through time and space, which require critical moments to be activated, and the consequences are unpredictable. Her abilities in time and space appear to be integrated into one.
And Roy's ability became autonomous, separated from time and space, and he also paid a corresponding price, consuming a huge amount of magic power.
"Flickering, teleportation, world gate, the distance gradually increases, the world gate lasts for five seconds, but I don't know if it can take people through it?"
"The Ring of Stone, I have to test it later, but first I need to contact Gorfin."
"The only pity is that I did not become a source of law."
……
Crash.
The cold stream water slid over his face, Roy cheered up and stood up.
The pupils turned to the sky.
The warrior constellation shines beside the two bright moons, like a waving two-handed sword.
He closed his eyes and felt carefully.
Perception escaped into the void in an instant, passing through the vast universe and the barriers of the planes.
Finally, we arrived at a friendly and familiar place.
Golfing?
Hoar?
Golfin!
Roar! Roar! Gu!
Billions of miles away,
A griffon with a streamlined body that was taking a nap on the top of a tree suddenly raised its head, its black eyes widening.
Open your long beak and let out a cheer of surprise!
It jumped down from the treetop, its furry tail swinging like a propeller, rolling against the dark and thick dead branches and leaves, exposing its soft belly!
"Hululu", the cheers were mixed with a coquettish complaint!
"Haha...I'm sorry for neglecting you for so long, but I had no choice but to do so! Everything is fine now. I'm just 'traveling' in a distant place and will be back soon!" Roy excitedly spun around in circles a few times. Pump your fist!
The vague connection at the beginning of time travel finally became clear and strong again.
Golfen is the beacon to the door to the world, the coordinates of his home!
As soon as he thought about it, the world in front of him changed color, and his field of vision was replaced by that of Wolfen.
From the small river flowing around Ximu Town, it turned into a vast, deep and dark alder bush.
A round of moonlight illuminates the jagged forest trees reaching into the sky.
"In Gawain's House? Go and walk around the house, be quiet, don't wake everyone up, I just want to take a look, I just want to take a look!"
……
Ten minutes later, Roy got his wish and saw the walls covered with childish graffiti, the small and exquisite eaves, and the quiet little faces in the windows.
He breathed a long sigh of relief.
Everything is normal in Gawain's house, which shows that the great master of the demon hunter did not kill everyone!
But it is not completely safe.
……
He closed his eyes again and felt.
Besides the Gorfens, there are three other strong ties.
One stream comes from the Binder Avel, and the second stream comes from an unknown existence.
It seems that he is in the same world as Gorfen, but Roy feels small and weak.
Who could it be?
Go back and figure it out.
The third share comes from Frien.
No movement was seen from the witcher.
Two hundred magic points will be deducted.
A dark prismatic door suddenly opened in front of him, just big enough to accommodate one person.
He stepped in with light steps, as if walking through a dark corridor in a vacuum. Except for darkness and nothingness, there were spots of light shining like stars in the night sky along the way.
Every point leads to a different place, or even the world.
And his beacon is located right in front, casting a friendly light on him like a beacon!
He jumped out towards the lighthouse!
"Call—"
"Call—"
Much thunderous snoring.
Roy jumped out of the void and came to a simple but tidy bedroom. At a glance, dear Frien was lying on the bed, sleeping soundly!
I don’t know what sweet dream he had. There was a silly smile on his honest face, and the green stubble around his mouth was submerged in saliva.
"Tsk tsk...Did you dream of the female blacksmith Adrian Avness? It seems that this silly boy has the same taste as Lambert!"
The heterochromatic pupils swept across the Dragonborn's body.
After swallowing two-thirds of the dragon soul, his body is in a state of continuous transformation. His physical attributes, strength, agility and other attributes have reached the first level, and even his spirit and charm are also improving.
The minor injuries caused by the dragon's breath during the day healed unexpectedly.
Dragonborn, Dragonborn, can you stay strong by swallowing the dragon soul?
Roy pondered for a moment, this was somewhat similar to a template.
He now also wants to understand that the bond between him and Frien must be due to sharing the dragon soul Mirmenir together and being contaminated by part of the same soul breath.
The bound mount is a kind of beacon, and this part of the dragon soul aura is also an unbreakable beacon. Even if Frien dies, as long as his soul is still there, he is still a good beacon!
"Well, with him, I can just fulfill my promise to Avel before I go home."
……
Roy quietly left Frien's Baiyun Pavilion.
Flicker jumped out of the city wall and ran wildly across the magnificent snow-covered plains under the moonlight to vent his excitement. Then he found a corner under the birch tree to meditate.
Bathe in the light of the stars and the moon and restore the magic value to full.
The fire spirit was summoned randomly.
He looked at the enchanting and graceful Fire Spirit, lost in thought. Since the dragon soul aura can be used as a beacon, can the Fire Spirit, who took ten points of experience (pure soul) from him as a reward, be used as a beacon to guide him? Pass through the gate of the world and enter annihilation in reverse?
He immediately dismissed the fire spirit and let it return to the plane of annihilation.
Trying his best to capture the feeling, the demon hunter curled his mouth, and sure enough, there was a connection, passing through the clouds, the stars represented by the eight holy spirits, and the twin moons.
Entering a strange and ever-changing realm, he vaguely felt flames and lava...
Unfortunately, compared to Frien, Avel, and Gorfen, this connection is too fragile. If it is there or not, it is like a candle in the wind. If you open the door to the world towards it.
The destination may become unpredictable and become somewhere else in Annihilation.
The fundamental reason is that the Fire Spirit takes too little experience from him, which also means that a more powerful and greedy summon can show him the way to a certain realm of annihilation.
Roy is not in a hurry to explore the dangerous place where the devil lives. He plans to wait until he can study the summoning master's masterpiece "About Annihilation" later.
This matter is temporarily shelved.
……
Roy wandered around the plains and randomly captured a lucky snow wolf that came to his door.
After the Yaksi seal stunned it, he cut off a section of its tail and then its head with a sword.
The tail is thrown five meters away.
Put the head and the body together!
Roy held his breath and concentrated, his eyes selected a spherical area, including the snow wolf corpse that was divided into two halves and himself!
No spells or movements required, just like commanding your arms.
Thoughts together.
Two hundred points of magic power are deducted from the body.
When the magic power is exhausted, there is a dizziness in my head.
A moment.
The power of time takes effect.
The dizziness disappears.
The deducted magic power is replenished!
The invisible hand of the Creator sewed the two corpses back together in the blink of an eye. The snow wolf embraced death and resurrected on the spot. It roared with its severed tail between its legs and rushed towards Roy again. Its previous tragic fate was destroyed by it. Completely forgotten.
Two seconds later, the demon hunter suppressed it to the ground again.
He looked up, and not far away, the half of his tail that was outside the Ring of Time was still lying alone on the cold grass.
"As time moves, everything within the ring will change simultaneously, including reversing life and death. Things outside the ring will not be affected."
Roy thought, maybe twenty seconds is not enough for Akai or other demons to harvest the souls of the freshly deceased, otherwise the Ring of Time can only resurrect an empty shell.
"If you use it well, wouldn't it be equivalent to having another life-saving skill?" A scene flashed through Roy's mind. In the middle of a fierce battle, his companions were suddenly hit in the head by random arrows, and he reached out and pointed. , the other party instantly reincarnated from the dead!
He couldn't help but think about it.
This skill can not only be used on a single comrade, as long as they are in the ring, within a spherical area with a radius of up to two meters.
This means that groups can be resurrected!
When you are also in the ring, the magic power consumed is restored to full, which is equivalent to casting a big move for free.
But the limit of 20 seconds and 200 magic power is too harsh, and it can only be used once a day.
No, not necessarily just once!
Shua——
Behind him, Arondette unsheathed his sword, Roy gently stroked the sword spine, Xue Rui seemed to be singing softly behind him, and the skill of soul guardian blessing quietly changed from "Gluttony" to "Ring of Time".
Ring of Time lv1 → lv2 - The magic power consumption is reduced to 180 points, and the number of uses is increased to 2 times/day ~IndoMTL.com~ This also means it is more operable, and it can be inferred that the same is true for the World Gate.
"Even the derivative ability of ancient blood can be improved. The soul characteristics are more practical than I thought."
"However, these two abilities are mainly improved with the evolution of ancient blood... So will taking the tempering elixir for the second time still be effective?"
"Go back and get some Grufeld's blood and try again."
Roy looked at the sky, and a faint hint of fish belly white appeared on the skyline. Unknowingly, he had been busy all night.
He rubbed the head of the fluffy dog that was squealing in fear,
"Man, if you survive a catastrophe, you will be lucky!"
Throw it a piece of meaty bone and let it escape back to the wilderness.
The hearty smiles of his two companions and Farenja's wise face appeared in front of Roy's eyes again,
"It's time to say goodbye and resolve the last questions."
