Chapter 76: Although the Squirrel School is not officially recognized, it will always remain in our hearts:
the water ghost brain, the monster's claws, the monster's liver, etc., not a single thing is missing, not even a corpse is missing.
Swade seemed a little curious, but after taking a few glances, he couldn't stand it anymore and was so disgusted that he backed away. Killing enemies on the battlefield is one thing, but close contact with dissection is another.
"What's the use of collecting these?"
Geralt glanced at Swade, a little surprised by the attendant's question: "Few people would be interested in these."
Swade replied: "The Earl seems to be interested. , so I also want to get familiar with them, maybe I will do these things in the future."
Geralt said "hum" expressionlessly, but he did not want to laugh at me, he just dissected and then explained: "These monsters All body materials can be used in alchemy, refining potions, brewing sword oil, and even enchanting some weapons and equipment." The demon hunter groped around
in the flesh and blood, and suddenly tightened his hands, seeming to have gained something. .
Swade saw the other party pulling out a strange blue flesh and blood tissue from the water ghost's brain, and said: "I found it... This kind is relatively rare, called a 'blue mutant', and its uses are more common and rarer. ."
Mutants are somewhat like the Warcraft cores of other fantasy themes. Generally speaking, there are three types of mutants: red, blue, and green.
For witchers, boiling mutants of different colors into potions and taking them can slightly increase the corresponding strength. Of course, there is an upper limit to this increase in power, and Geralt no longer needs to take these.
Red can enhance physical strength, blue corresponds to the power of the seal, and green can enhance the demon hunter's resistance to poison. In addition to these three common mutations, there are also powerful monsters that produce exclusive mutations, such as werewolves, royal griffins, deer-headed spirits, etc. These mutations have more unique effects.
In addition, mutants are also widely used by alchemists for other purposes. For example, the mutation trials of demon hunters are indispensable for the participation of these mutants.
After Geralt cleaned up all the corpses of the Kelpies, he was finally satisfied and began to remove his armor. The druid then casts nature spells on all those about to dive, allowing them to hold their breath underwater for a long time.
After the spell was completed, the druid told the human soldiers to remember to come up for breath every five minutes. Geralt is familiar with this kind of magic, and his physique can stay underwater for a longer period of time.
The divers jumped into the water one by one, while Lan and his party waited quietly on the shore.
"Your Majesty the Earl!"
Suddenly a soldier emerged from the water and shouted excitedly. It seemed that he had gained something.
Lan stood up, looking expectant.
"I found a box with several gold necklaces and diamonds in it!"
Lan sat back down again and shouted angrily: "It's not this, go down and keep looking!"
After a while, another soldier surfaced. :
"Your Excellency, I found a body underwater. He had a bag with a few gems in it..." "
Not this, get down and keep looking!"
After a while, a soldier surfaced.
"Lord Earl, I seem to have found the magic-blocking gold!"
"Get out...forget it, you can try to catch this first. Is it true that it is worthy of the ruins? How come there is everything here?" Time is ticking away
. Seconds passed, and when the sun was fading, Geralt finally surfaced:
"I found the portal."
Lann became excited. Geralt was still reliable at the critical moment!
After hearing the news about Geralt, Lan was in no rush to get into the water. Instead, the druid beside him stood up, added breath-holding magic to himself, and followed Geralt into the water.
Lann on the shore called all the soldiers to gather, gathered all the equipment, and waited quietly.
Within a few minutes, yellow sparks suddenly flickered in the air in front of everyone, and then spread quickly. A twisted darkness spread the sparks to the size of two people, and accompanied by a howling wind, everyone's hair was blown everywhere. Flying around.
This is the portal opened by the druid.
Lan turned back and nodded at the two sword guards and ordered: "You guys will help me keep an eye on Black Wind here, and then set up camp and wait for us to come back. If we don't come out in more than three days, we'll call for reinforcements. Do you understand?" "Yes?
" ! Lord Earl!"
Lann nodded, turned around and got into the portal first. After a severe dizziness, he opened his eyes again, and the scenery in front of him had changed.
The divers who entered first had lit torches all around, and it was vaguely visible that this was a corner of an underground ruins, surrounded by the remains of some ancient buildings. From time to time in the darkness, half-sections of beams and pillars with carved patterns could be seen, and there were lines growing on the walls. There are sparse Nostrikes on the wall, and the ground is covered with blood moss.
The dust on the ground is so thick that when you step on it, a handful of dust will fly up. Apparently it has been dark here for a long time.
One after another people came out of the portal. After everyone passed through, the druid finally let out a sigh of relief and removed his magic. It seemed very difficult for him to maintain a large portal for a long time.
The divers began to re-wear their armor. This was the most important reason for the druid to join this exploration team.
If it were an ordinary exploration team, they would have to travel lightly in order to enter through the underwater portal. They would probably only have small pieces of iron weapons on them, let alone armor.
If such a simple equipment condition encounters any powerful monster guarding the tomb, it may not be destroyed on the spot.
And if a druid enters the ruins first, he can open the portal for Lan through positioning and transport fully armed soldiers in, so he can be more confident in facing the dangers in the ruins.
Sward lifted Geralt's things and handed them to him. The witcher was squatting on the ground rubbing his temples with a headache. The demon hunter's senses are enhanced far beyond those of ordinary people. When passing through the portal, ordinary people will only feel short-term dizziness, but the demon hunter is tortured.
In most cases, demon hunters would rather ride for two or three days than enter the portal.
Inside the portal, Lann and his team were sorting out their equipment and officially started exploring.
Outside the portal, the two remaining sword guards and Black Wind were waiting.
The camp on the cliff had been dismantled and moved down, and the two of them slowly put it back up again. This was not a hard job.
But Black Wind seemed a little uneasy. It kept neighing and digging its hooves at the ground from time to time.
Seeing this, one of the sword guards hurriedly stepped forward to comfort him, causing another person to shout dissatisfiedly: "You come to work first, what do you care about it?" The
companion replied angrily: "Shut up, Black Wind is stronger than the two of us. It's as precious as it looks. This is the top-notch war horse. I heard that it was once a birthday gift from Her Majesty the Queen to Her Royal Highness the Princess, and was later given to the Earl." (End of this chapter
