Chapter 192: Jade Fire Church
Sure enough, outside the door was an old man named Dissol, followed by twin gray dwarf girls.
Dissol looked at Richard, forced out a smile, and said rather embarrassedly: "Your Excellency Levi, I'm sorry to bother you late at night, but I just sensed the breath of Spider Woman's blood, so..." "Your Excellency Dissol
, Please come in and talk." Richard smiled slightly, turned sideways, and let Disol enter the room.
The fish is hooked!
Dissol was more anxious than he thought. Richard thought that the other party would always be able to bear his temper and wait until tomorrow to discuss the matter with him. Unexpectedly, it came much faster than expected.
It seemed that the value of Spider Woman's blood should be higher than he expected.
No, to be precise, one thing that is certain is that the blood of the Spider Woman has a very high value in Disol's heart.
Disol arrived so quickly that Richard himself didn't even think about which plan to follow to deal with the spider woman's blood from plan one to plan three.
But I can listen to the other party's sincerity first and then make plans.
Richard invited Disol to sit down on the mahogany chair in the reception room, while the twins took Stephana's job as maid and poured two cups of absinthe tea for the two adults.
Dissol frowned slightly, as if he was still considering how many things he should throw out first to make the other party interested in exchange for Spider Woman's blood.
Richard was not in a hurry at all, and took a leisurely sip of absinthe tea. This tea is said to be one of the specialties of the gray dwarves. It is bitter at first and then sweet, with a long aftertaste. When Richard tasted it, he felt that the taste was similar to the green tea in his previous life. Quite similar.
Dissol rubbed his hands and said cautiously: "Your Excellency Levi, for a master of alchemy and bomb science like you, there will definitely be no shortage of magic stones." "So, can you tell me
, Regarding your original plan for using the Spider Woman's blood, in this case, maybe I can provide you with the items you need in a more targeted manner." Richard smiled,
Dissol was indeed cunning, and he wanted to explore himself. end.
Of course, the ultimate goal is nothing more than to pay the least possible price in exchange for Spider Woman's blood.
But how could he possibly make it easy for him to do so?
From the isolation box on the side, Richard took out this drop-shaped bright red crystal that contained the blood of the Spider Woman, and played with it casually in his hand.
When Disol saw Richard taking out the crystal, his eyes followed the red color and kept wandering.
"Your Excellency Dissol, regarding this spider woman's blood, to be honest, my original plan was to buy the required flame crystals after arriving in Tuge City, and then use them to enhance my mental power." Before he could wait
, After Richard finished speaking, he was interrupted by Disol who looked anxious.
I saw Disol's face filled with anger, and said anxiously:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Levi, please forgive me, if you really do this, it will be a waste of natural resources. You must know the origin of this pure-blooded creature." The price of blood is several times that of hybrid creatures."
"If it is only used to enhance mental power, there is not much difference between the source blood of pure blood and hybrid creatures. Of course, I am talking about first-order creatures. ."
Richard raised his eyebrows, it turns out there is such a difference.
It seems that it is consistent with his own judgment. The spider woman's blood in his hand should be worth a lot of money. At least it can be regarded as the blood of a pure-blooded creature as Dissol said, rather than some miscellaneous blood.
Dissol carefully took out a brown wooden box with strange patterns from his arms. After opening it, he could clearly see that there was a spherical crystal the size of a fist inside, emitting red and green light.
"This is a piece of blood from a swamp giant that has reached the first level of strength. The swamp giant has a mixed bloodline of giants and swamp cavemen, so it is not as valuable as Sir Levi's spider woman blood, but it is better in quantity. "
"If it is used to burn blood essence to promote the growth of mental power, the two effects are almost the same."
After listening to Dissol's explanation, Richard looked at the fist-sized swamp giant's source blood and fell into thought.
Richard knew that the strength of ordinary swamp giants as adults was only at the quasi-wizard level, and there were not many swamp giants who could reach the first level of strength. Therefore, to a certain extent, the crystallization of the swamp giant's blood was indeed precious.
But compared to the source blood of the Spider Woman, it is obviously inferior, because according to Disol, the Spider Woman is a pure-blooded creature.
Moreover, from another perspective, the difference in grade between the two can also be seen.
One is the size of a fist, and the other is only the size of a fingernail, but the effect is almost the same.
From this point, it can be clearly seen that the concentration degree of the Swamp Giant's source blood is far inferior to that of the Spider Woman's source blood, so the quality gap can only be offset by large quantities.
However, Dissol only offered one piece of Swamp Giant's blood in exchange, which was obviously not enough!
Sure enough, the frowning Dissol took out another ancient parchment from his arms. He seemed to be very reluctant to part with it, but he still made up his mind and handed it to Richard and said: "Your Excellency Levi, this is an ancient parchment
. I obtained a copy of the rare puppetry drawings from the secret realm - the obsidian combat puppet. Because its entire body is made of obsidian, it is extremely resistant to all types of witchcraft. From now on..."
Richard tapped the mahogany wood with his fingers. The armrest of the chair interrupted Dissol's introduction and said: "Your Excellency Dissol, you know that I am a lover of alchemy. At the same time, I also have a little interest in witch formations, but I know nothing about puppetry. ."
"I think that such a rare drawing is more suitable in the hands of a master of puppetry so that it can play its role better. Are you right?" Disol took it and handed it back to Richard without even looking at it
. The obsidian combat puppet drawing has an expression of relief on its face, mixed with some anxiety.
"Then, Sir Richard, can I use magic stones to make up the rest of the difference?"
Richard did not immediately give Dissol the letter, but fell into thinking again.
At present, for me, the best choice for Spider Woman source blood is to use it to improve my mental power. So from this point of view, if the same purpose can be achieved, there is no big problem in exchanging it for Disol.
As for the previous consideration of using Spider Woman's blood on Stephana's new body to increase her blood concentration again, Richard felt that he was not in a hurry.
After all, the most important thing is to be strong. With the Nightmare Mirror, a witchcraft weapon, and the blood of the dragon in hand, the night elves will not give up so quickly in a short period of time.
In this case, he should have a chance to obtain the blood of the Spider Woman again.
However, Dissol just wants to exchange the source blood of a swamp giant for the source blood of the Spider Woman, which is definitely not enough, because the magic stone is of little use to him at present.
If that's the case, then...
"Sir Dissol, I need a flame crystal, as well as relevant knowledge about higher-level source blood. If you can do it, this spider woman's source blood will be yours!"
"Oh, God Father Titan! Your Excellency Levi, if you add a flame crystal, it will already exceed the value of the Spider Woman's source blood!" "As a result,
you also need a higher level of source blood knowledge. This is really unacceptable”
Dissol stood up, his face turned red!
It seemed that he was indignant at Richard's behavior of opening his mouth.
Richard picked up the tea cup, took a sip of the absinthe tea, and said calmly: "Sir Dissol, you asked me to make the price. You should know that this is not a forced transaction, right? "
You can give up this transaction completely."
Richard's words made Disol's face turn green and white, as if he had swallowed a fly!
"Your Excellency Levi, your words are like sharp knives that break my heart! But if you can agree to me a condition, this deal is not a bad idea!" "Oh, Your Excellency Dissol, although I can't guarantee that I will definitely agree
, But you might as well say it." Richard raised his eyebrows and said.
"That's right, I hope Sir Levi can join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood." Dissol said seriously.
"First of all, if you don't join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood, I really have no way to trade you the source blood knowledge of the third level and above due to my oath. I can only give you the source blood knowledge of the highest level two."
" Secondly, you can rest assured that an alchemist master of the Bombology branch like you will be respected enough within the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood!" "There will not be
any too dangerous tasks, the only thing that needs to be done is You need to provide a certain number of alchemy bombs to the organization on a regular basis." "
Of course, the organization will definitely give you corresponding remuneration and matching treatment." "
Moreover, one thing you can rest assured is that the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood will serve as the leader of the organization. The leading wizard organization in Gecheng. To some extent, it can be said to represent the official gray dwarves, so in terms of treatment, it is definitely the best among all wizard organizations!" Dissol quietly posted this last sentence
. What Richard said in his ear.
This request immediately made Richard dumbfounded.
Unexpectedly, Dissol went around and pretended to be angry, but it turned out to be waiting for him here.
Obviously, the other party valued his identity as an alchemist master.
Richard can also understand this. For the gray dwarves who have been at war with the night elves all year round, an alchemist master who has the ability to develop an alchemical combination bomb is of extraordinary significance.
Richard thought for a moment before agreeing.
He originally had the idea to choose and join a wizard organization after arriving in Tuge City, so that he would have a relatively normal channel to obtain first-level wizard level knowledge.
However, if the wizard organization is stronger, it will inevitably have higher requirements for its members and a strict organization. This means that gaining the trust of the wizard organization cannot be achieved in a day or two.
You must slowly accumulate trust through daily tasks in order to gain organizational points or contribution points in exchange for the knowledge you need.
This efficiency is too slow!
Although I don't know what wizard organizations there are in Tuge City, but as Dissol said in the last sentence, an organization that can be named after the three words gray dwarf must have the tacit approval of the gray dwarf officials. You can enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!
Especially in the unfamiliar environment of the Underdark, it is obviously a good thing to have a powerful organization to protect him, and the other party happens to be a mortal enemy of the night elves. At least he does not have to worry about backstabbing from behind.
Furthermore, with the introduction of the old man Dissol, under normal circumstances, I should be able to integrate in quickly and quickly accumulate points or contribution points through my identity as an alchemist master.
It can be said that when drowsiness comes, Dissol brings a pillow!
However, Richard still pretended to be extremely reluctant, nodded, and said: "Okay! Since the knowledge of source blood above level three must be joined to your organization, after I thought about Tuge City, I would choose Join the gray dwarf brotherhood."
Hearing Richard reluctantly agree, a sly look flashed in Dissol's eyes, which seemed to be the pride of succeeding in his plan.
If he knew, even if he didn't invite him, Richard would visit him after arriving in Tuge City, looking for an opportunity to ask for his help and introduction, and thus join the Gray Dwarf Brotherhood. I wonder what Dissol would think!
"Great! Your Excellency Levi, then we will be members of the same organization immediately. The Gray Dwarf Brotherhood welcomes you to join!" Dissol said with excitement.
"By the way, I think we should have a drink to celebrate Mr. Levi's joining." Dissol turned to look at the twins and Stephana.
The twins immediately understood Dissol's eyes and immediately ran to the next room and carried a large box of spirits labeled Bordeaux.
"Come! Your Excellency Levi, this is the 99-year-old Tuge Spirit that I have treasured for a long time!"
99-year Tuge Spirit. This is 99 years from which year it started. Could it be that it has been kept for 99 years?
"Your Excellency Levi, each of us has half!"
Looking at the quantity of twelve bottles in a box, each of us has half. Richard couldn't help but feel a black line on his forehead!
What a celebration! You old man, aren't you just trying to find an excuse to drink me down?
——Half
an hour later.
Dissol, who was so confused by Stephana, was staggering towards the next room, being supported by the twins.
It’s really delicious and delicious!
After Dissol left, Richard did not rest. Instead, he took the flame crystal he had just exchanged and started looking at it.
I saw a cluster of small flames jumping inside the thumb-sized hexagonal flame crystal.
According to the knowledge given by Disol, he has met all the conditions for burning blood essence to stimulate the growth of mental power.
That being the case, why not start improving now!
After all, improving your strength should be done sooner rather than later.
Immediately, Richard used his mental power to control the flame crystal and the blood of the swamp giant to float in the air. With the infusion of mental power, the flame crystal shattered instantly, releasing an extremely pure flame energy.
And under the guidance of Richard's mental power, he jumped around the swamp giant's source blood like a fire elf who had just released his shackles.
As the source blood continued to be burned, within a few seconds, a mini version of the swamp giant appeared in mid-air, roaring at Richard, as if wanting Richard to stop the burning process.
But at this point, how is this possible?
Richard immediately began to increase the input of mental power, and the flames suddenly burned more intensely. The swamp giant's shadow became smaller and smaller, and the screams continued, but became weaker and weaker.
In the end, the swamp giant phantom no longer had the strength to even whisper, floating in front of Richard's eyes like a piece of refined humanoid mental power gel.
Suddenly, a desire emerged from the depths of Richard's soul, as if to say, eat it, as long as you eat it, it will be very beneficial to the body.
Immediately, Richard no longer hesitated, opened his mouth slightly, and the refined swamp giant shadow was directly swallowed into his body.
The next second, Richard felt as if his soul was soaking in a hot spring.
When Richard woke up again, he found that the light outside the window had become much brighter. Obviously, this meant that it was daytime in the dark area.
Stephana was still sleeping soundly on the bed.
Richard called up the inspiration panel and took a look:
[Name]: Richard Clavell
[Attributes]: Strength 10.9, Agility 11.2, Constitution 11.1, Spirit 46.7 (atomization 27%)
Hiss! His mental power has increased by more than ten points, and Richard can clearly feel that other attributes of his body are also slowly increasing.
The level of atomization has soared to 27%, an increase of 14 percentage points, which is still 3% short of reaching the middle level of a first-level wizard.
This made Richard extremely happy!
You must know that even if you practice the mutant meditation method that has reached the extreme level every day, it will take at least more than a year to improve to the current level.
But with the help of the blood essence, it only took one night to complete the journey that originally took a year!
Moreover, if it were an ordinary new wizard with a lower level of meditation control, it would probably take at least two or three years to reach Richard's current level of improvement.
However, the next second, Richard realized that if the effect of this source blood was so magical, wouldn't it mean that any powerful wizard family could use it frequently on their talented heirs to quickly improve it?
No, this matter shouldn't be that simple.
Richard held his breath and focused his consciousness into his body, carefully checking his physical condition. After a while, his expression changed slightly.
At the same time, he immediately took out the recording crystal that Dissol traded to him last night.
After a while, he discovered the problem.
It turns out that after using the method of burning bloodline essence to stimulate the growth of mental power, the bloodline essence will remain in the body for a long time.
During the remaining period, you cannot use any bloodline essence again, otherwise, it will cause damage to your own soul!
The more powerful the bloodline essence, the longer the residual period after use. Generally, the residual period of first-level bloodline essence ranges from half a year to two years, and it varies greatly depending on the physique of each wizard.
The residual period of the second-level source blood reaches three to five years, but the effect will be better.
The third-level source blood is even more terrifying.
Moreover, Richard also discovered that the level of the original source blood is not determined based on the organism itself.
Rather, it depends on the level of the bloodline. For example, the Spider Girl's source blood can be refined into the Mistress's source blood through a secondary refining witch formation. The Mistress's source blood is the second-level source blood, but its size may only be about the size of a grain of rice.
Although it is second-level source blood, it is only the size of a grain of rice, so in terms of effect, it is almost equivalent to the Spider Woman source blood the size of a fingernail.
From this perspective, the larger the creature, the higher its total blood volume. If it contains high-level blood, it is easier to purify it twice or even three times.
The information given by Dissol also gave an example of the extinction of the dragon-veined kobolds.
Nowadays, black dragons and red dragons have disappeared in the Underdark Region for nearly a thousand years. Hundreds of years ago, it became almost impossible for wizards to find the source blood of high-level dragons.
But there is a talented wizard who invented the high-level source blood purification witch formation, which can purify the blood twice or even three times, thereby obtaining a very small amount of ancient powerful ancestors' source blood contained in a certain organism.
After he slaughtered an entire tribe of dragon-veined kobolds and collected the blood of thousands of kobolds, he used a high-level source blood purification witch formation to finally purify a drop of black dragon source blood the size of a fingernail.
After this method was leaked, all the dragon-veined kobolds were slaughtered in just over ten years!
In the next few hundred years, it was almost impossible to find more than ten dragon-veined kobold tribes in the entire Underdark.
——After
two days of trekking, Grace brought Irene to a hilly area. Since it was a secret operation, she did not bring the remaining three spider knights with her.
The spreading hills ahead are undulating and densely planted. In addition to the common ferns in the Dark Area, there are also dense vines and rare tall trees.
It seems that there is some kind of strange energy supply in this area, which makes these plants grow particularly strong.
"Heart-eating grass!!"
"Devil's ivy! There are too many poisonous weeds here! There are simply too many to be normal!"
Irene exclaimed as she walked. Obviously, she recognized the many highly poisonous weeds around her. plant.
Grace nodded and said: "Yes, this is the habit of the Jade Fire Church. They like to plant poisonous weeds around their residences!" "(
Night Elf) Tsk, isn't this my dear Grace? What a rare guest." Just listen to one The voice of a night elf male came to mind.
However, when Irena turned her head to look at the dense forest where the sound came from, she had a look of shock.
I saw a tall monster walking out of the dense forest. The plants on both sides seemed to be conscious and automatically separated a path to let the other person walk out slowly.
The other party is a monster, yes, Yirena can only describe it this way!
Because except for the face of this monster, which is originally a handsome night elf man, you will not associate him with a well-proportioned and handsome night elf from any other part of his body.
Nicol, the once handsome night elf male, has now grown in size by at least two circles, and is over 2.4 meters tall. His head has bull-like black horns, and his hands have transformed into a pair of extremely sharp claws. .
As for his ram-like lower body, the final soles of his feet have turned into thick hooves!
Irene could even see the short tail swinging behind his butt.
"Nicole, why are you so alienated?" Grace also looked at Nicole in shock.
Compared with the Nicole she saw three years ago, the alienation was even more serious at this time, and the basic external characteristics of the night elf bloodline were almost invisible.
Is this the result of believing in the ancient demon Xavius?
This is absolutely terrible!
If it were her, she would rather not have powerful power than become such an ugly monster.
