The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 188: A hard worker without talent
This thing is a bit fierce.
"Since it needs to be dissolved in blood...can I touch it?"
Annan asked: "Or will it cause pollution?"
"How is that possible? Just touch it casually."
Salvatore couldn't help but smile, "If it was so easily contaminated, it wouldn't be the Philosopher's Stone. Even if you sprinkle dust in, it won't be contaminated.
"But be careful. Although it looks like a water-like liquid, its weight is close to the same volume of mercury, which is much heavier than it looks. If you are not careful, you may break your bones."
Seeing Annan about to step forward, Salvatore reminded.
Annan nodded: "I understand."
As he approached the ceremony site, he clearly felt waves of heat hitting his face.
As you get a little closer, the temperature will rise a lot, and sweat will quickly seep out of Annan's body. The excessively hot air made it difficult to breathe, and even the eyeballs felt hot.
It's almost like being in a boiler room... No, it should be even hotter than a boiler room.
Annan suddenly realized why Salvatore had asked him to wear less clothes before.
The moment Annan touched the continuously flowing liquid Philosopher's Stone, he really felt the sharp pain from the impact on his fingers.
A curtain of light immediately appeared in front of his eyes:
[Hermetic Philosopher’s Stone (purity 34%)]
[Type: Consumables/Ritual Materials/Sacrifice/Rare Objects (Gold)]
[Description: The Philosopher's Stone in the style of the Hermetic School, which has not yet been purified. 】
[Description: You have never heard that it can be used as a ritual material ("Advanced Mysterious Ritual" test failed)]
[Description: You have never heard that it can be used as a sacrifice ("Advanced Oddities" check failed)]
[Effect: After injecting a certain amount, a temporary level will be obtained within 180 seconds. It is currently possible to level up to level 41. 】
[Price: severe pain all over the body within three days]
......Level 41?
Anan was stunned for a moment.
If we follow the current rules, the bronze level is from 11 to 20, the silver level is from 21 to 30... the gold level should be 31 to 40.
According to Salvatore, it would be considered extremely lucky to be able to reach level 40 after using the Stone of Truth.
Can be level 41...
This should be the level of truth, right?
Is it because of the Book of Heavenly Cars?
This is indeed possible.
But...Hermes?
Is there a Hermes in this world? Or is there a **** with this name?
No, not likely.
Annan quickly dismissed the idea.
If Hermes is really the name of a god, this should belong to mysterious knowledge. He won't get it so easily.
"——It's quite heavy, isn't it?"
Salvatore, standing behind Annan, said very proudly: "I actually didn't expect that I could configure it successfully..."
"...Are you a genius?"
Annan couldn't help but admire.
Hearing this, Salvatore was silent for a moment and coughed lightly: "Well, it's okay."
He crossed his arms tightly, as if trying to shrink himself inside his body. It seemed that his mood suddenly lost a lot, and he became silent.
Looking at Salvatore's appearance, Annan was thoughtful.
——He probably guessed it.
There is always an inexplicable and heavy pressure on Salvatore, as well as a vague sense of inferiority.
But this doesn't make sense.
He is the son of the Black Tower, which proves that his talents are better than those of this generation of tower owners.
It is good if such an outstanding young man is not arrogant - look at Arthur, that is the character and psychological quality of a serious golden reserve.
Compared with the confident Arthur, Salvatore not only feels inferior, he is almost autistic...
——Now it seems that his extraordinary talent seems to be working sometimes. Salvatore is troubled by this.
Annan couldn't help but shake his head inwardly.
What’s so troublesome about this...
Can’t a genius like this, whose own talents are erratic, just use outside power to make up for his shortcomings? Just let your teammates decide the lower limit and decide the upper limit yourself.
——Yes, the protagonists of the explosion style all have this team configuration.
"Speak, senior."
Annan asked nonchalantly: "Do you have any other good stuff here? Something fun."
"Ah, there is."
Hearing Annan's question, Salvatore thought for a while and then replied: "But you have to put on some clothes - I have my cold-weather clothes in the closet over there. Put on your cotton shoes Put it on and go to the deepest part of the dungeon, where there is a magic mirror."
"...Magic Mirror?"
Really?
Annan looked a little weird.
He finally realized it.
The son of the Black Tower may have a richer family background than he imagined.
Just that ruby the size of a pigeon egg is not something that ordinary people can get. Not to mention the recipe for the Philosopher's Stone.
But... what kind of magic mirror is it?
Annan walked towards the wardrobe pointed by Salvatore and asked casually: "What type of magic mirror is it?"
——The kind that can ask questions? Or the one that can watch videos?
Still very licking?
"It's a curse."
Salvatore put the panacea in his hand back to its original place, turned his back to Annan and explained: "There is a compound spell from the prophet school and the idol school, which allows you to see the essence of your soul. …Of course, it’s a more abstract one.
"For example, if I place the golden mistletoe in front of a mirror, it will reflect the golden oak tree, dripping blood, beating heart, baby's cry, bull's horn. This represents its ability to bring life back to life. Ability, and powerful healing power. We generally use it to detect mysterious items, but in general, what it indicates still needs to be analyzed by yourself.
"However, it is still somewhat useful when there are no clues. At least it can reveal a vague research direction. It is better than nothing for the time being."
Salvatore turned around and smiled casually: "It's like the 'analysis' done by those soul-stealing wizards on you. It's something you can believe in or not. It's just right to kill time."
"Okay, let me go take a look!"
Annan put on a comically thick cotton coat and shoes and walked towards the dungeon with great interest.
He didn't really want to see the magic mirror.
It's just that he has already finished reading the Philosopher's Stone. If he proposed to leave at this time, it would be too deliberate; and if he stayed where he was, the atmosphere would be awkward.
He just gave Salvatore a private space to adjust his mood without leaving any trace.
"Don Juan is about to discover your secret, Sal."
A low, crazy voice with heavy echoes sounded in Salvatore's heart: "Have you figured out what to do?"
Salvatore remained silent.
He just walked slowly to the Philosopher's Stone, stretched out his hand and gently touched the flowing red liquid.
The river was only **** thick, but the moment he touched it, his fingers flicked out. It's like reaching out to touch a wheel spinning at high speed.
"If I were you, I would kill him."
Shadow chuckled and said: "He knows too many of our secrets, Thrall."
"Shut up."
Salvatore said calmly: "At least for now, I am still in charge of this body."
As he spoke, he inserted his right index finger into the inside of the Philosopher's Stone.
The moment he connected his fingers to the ritual, the Philosopher's Stone instantly lit up with red light, and its rotation speed gradually slowed down and then stopped. Then the sunken lines on the table lit up one by one, and the red gem hanging high like the sun shone with a dazzling brilliance.
A red light appeared in Salvatore's pupils, like the reflection of a red gem.
He was silent for a long time before slowly pulling out his finger. The ceremony was extinguished instantly, and the Philosopher's Stone began to spin again.
White smoke emitted from his index finger, and the rotten injury healed almost instantly.
"Did the purification fail? I told you, you have no talent. Thrall... what can you do on your own?"
Shadow chuckled and repeated: "You are a waste. ~IndoMTL.com~ You will fall asleep sooner or later, you can't hold it anymore."
"I may not be able to do anything," Salvatore calmed down instead, "but if you were me... you would have been unable to hold on and would have fallen asleep."
"Effort without talent is meaningless."
Shadow repeated: "How many more times do you want to fail?"
But Salvatore didn't say much.
He just looked leisurely in the direction Annan left, gentle and calm.
The update is complete. There are only three updates today... Let’s move the fourth update to tomorrow, that is, we will continue with three updates tomorrow!
Also: Thank you to the leader of the passerby Chacha, I would like to give you a +1 again...
So now I still owe chapter 16 (beat the ground)
