The Righteous Player(s) Chapter 151: Rustless Blood and Great Spells

After the tragedian frankly stated that his support for Philip was not as strong as that of Kaifuni...he mentioned it again.

"Furthermore, I actually have never had any support for Philip. That was all due to his own intelligence. His use of the power of gods was more to use this name to deceive those who followed him. .

"Even the cup-holder woman, all she did was give him [rustless blood]. The 'sugar' he made had nothing to do with the cup-holder's divine magic, or even the transformation spell. It has nothing to do with it, it’s just a simple ritual product."

"Blood without rust?"

Annan was a little surprised: "Philip is a blood eater?"

The Blood Eater is the silver-level advanced profession of the Berserker. After drinking the rust-free blood and advancing, they only need to offer a cup of their own blood every month to get the rust-free blood that extends their lifespan.

After taking it, they will be energetic throughout the month, their body will have strong self-healing ability, they will no longer get sick and their appearance will not age; but on the other hand, if they cannot take the rust-free blood in time, their blood will "Rusty" will soon suffer, weaken and die.

This is indeed very consistent with Annan's impression of Philip.

But...

"As far as I know, Prince Philip is not an extraordinary person?"

"He is indeed not."

The tragedy writer replied with a smile: "Because he was born a 'rust-blooded'. He cannot become a berserker, let alone worship the cup-holder like an ordinary believer.

"His homemade candy mixed with devil's blood, his apparent belief in the cup-holder, his deeper belief in the rotten husband, and his actual belief in me were all used by him to control himself. It's just a performance by his men. Every day he performs rituals with cup-bearing girls and rotten husbands to maintain youth... But it's just an ordinary 'ritual', not a religious 'sacrifice ceremony'.

"He is just using this method to build momentum for himself. But in fact, he knows it, the cup-holder girl knows it, the rotten man knows it, and I also know it...Prince Philip, he doesn't believe in any god.

"He only believes in himself. He is a very simple child... because all he wants is to have fun.

"It's just a pity. His origin, his destiny, his talents, and the disease he suffers from all prevent him from this wish."

——The Rustblood.

Annan knows this term.

This is what people in this world call hemophilia.

Because their skin often has bruise marks for no reason, or bruises that are difficult to dissipate after a slight impact, their joints are abnormally tingling and stiff, and their urine occasionally turns rust-colored... …and most crucially, the symptoms of bleeding that won’t stop once injured, leading people to believe that their blood is “rusty.”

People in this world have already discovered through Suifu's magic and the judgment effect of transformation spells that human blood actually contains a very small amount of "iron".

But they didn't know what form the iron existed in... So some wizards explained this phenomenon as "the veins are solid, and the iron ore is solid; blood is liquid, so blood The iron in it should also be liquid and mixed with blood."

Those wizards were ancient doctors and researchers.

They believe that just as iron rusts and becomes "unhealthy", the reason why people get sick is because "blood rusts".

That's why the blood in the cup given by the girl holding the cup, which can keep people young forever and eliminate all kinds of diseases, is called "rust-free blood".

Because rust-blooded people will bleed endlessly once they are cut, so they cannot perform self-sacrifice rituals to the cup-bearing girl.

After all, not all cup-holding women's rituals will reward "rustless blood." Only blood eaters can obtain rust-free blood quickly and easily.

So the Cup Holder simply forbids the Rustbloods from performing self-sacrifice rituals to her... This means that Philip cannot sacrifice his own blood to the Cup Holder.

The berserker's curse must be of the self-harm type. This is the prerequisite for the Berserker to advance.

"...In other words, if Philip was a rust-blooded man, he should not be able to sacrifice to the cup-bearing woman at all; he also cannot be a berserker. So——"

The answer is ready to come out.

What Philip drank was not "rustless blood" purchased with his own blood.

At least four blood eaters are raising him with their own blood!

The time limit for blood replacement by blood eaters is nine days plus or minus one month.

The ceremony can be held as early as nine days in advance. If it is earlier, the "Rustless Blood" in their blood will not be exhausted. It will not be judged by [Cup] as being your own blood.

If you are nine days late, you will die of decay.

The amount of "a cup of blood" refers to one-ninth of the total blood volume in the human body. That is, probably.

Normally speaking, the blood sacrificed to the Cup Holder Girl will remain in the disappearing state for nine months, and then return to itself in the form of rust-free blood... This is also the routine chosen by ordinary Cup Holder Girl believers. Sacrifice method - sacrifice a cup of animal blood every nine days, add one or two drops of your own blood, and after nine months of continuous sacrifice, you can obtain a continuous state of youthfulness.

But Philip was unable to use this method because of rust disease. ~IndoMTL.com~ Neither magical means nor self-healing methods can relieve the victim's weakened state. It is even more impossible to regenerate blood.

Because strictly speaking, the blood was not lost, but existed in their bodies in a different way.

Without the ability to regenerate itself, continuous blood loss of one thousand milliliters during the expiration date of Rustless Blood may already be life-threatening.

It is impossible for a silver-level transcendent to sacrifice his life directly and cheaply to Prince Philip...

But they still had a way to sell the Rustless Blood to Philip.

——Just gather enough four people.

The first person sacrifices a cup of blood at the 21-day mark. Let Philip drink first... and then nine days later, drink the rust-free blood obtained by the second person's sacrifice of his own blood to maintain his own activity; and the second person will drink the third person's blood nine days later. Three people exchanged their own blood for rust-free blood, and so on.

Rustless Blood has an effectiveness time of 21 to 22 days per month, an expiration time of nine days, and a disease time of nine days. As long as four blood-eaters operate in cycles, enough rust-free blood can be spread out to cover a month.

"But why does Philip desire rustless blood so much?"

Annan asked with some vigilance: "You wouldn't say that this question also requires 40 holy light seals, right?"

"This is also a supplement to the previous question. I will not charge you."

"Thank you very much."

"You're welcome."

The tragedy writer smiled slightly: "The reason is simple... because Philip was old once."

"...Are you old once?"

This is difficult for Annan to understand.

"That's right. He has indeed [aged] once, and he has aged to the point of being close to death."

The tragedy writer said with certainty: "That is the power of a [great level] curse."
