Chapter 564 The mission of the Holy Court, the holy potion
This time the mission of Eric Hoffman's expedition was that the vampire bishop wanted to catch a legendary zombie in the Xia Kingdom to study.
Because the Bishop thinks that zombies have similar abilities to their blood clans. Unlike the zombies and resurrection corpses in the Voodoo Cult who only know how to chew around randomly, zombies also have fangs that can suck blood.
Moreover, the high-level zombies in the legend of the East are as powerful as gods. If they can obtain that kind of power, they will definitely increase their strength. Even if they cannot become the top legendary blood prince in the race, they can become
The Duke or just the Earl is also very powerful for the Bishop who is still just the baron's power.
This will greatly improve his status in the Holy Court, especially the Holy Court has many inconvenient things. Generally, white gloves are not good. It requires powerful dark powerful men to take action to pass the blame on the dark forces. This is the one who
The Bishop's opportunity to make meritorious contributions.
So he sent the expedition team to the Far East.
According to the information network of Shengting, they asked the area where zombies are most likely to appear from the Xia people, which is the famous Xiangxi area, a corpse-driven resort.
So Eric Hoffman set his operation in Hunan Province, and the church in Gantian Town is one of the deepest strongholds of the Guangming Holy Court in the interior of Xia, and it happened to be close to western Hunan, so it naturally became
The expedition team's joint.
While the ship on Eric Hoffman's expedition was still sailing on the sea, the manpower of Shengting in Hunan Province had already collected relevant information.
There are indeed many rumors of zombies causing trouble in various parts of Hunan Province, but it is basically news from the past. In places where there are really zombies, zombies have been eliminated by local practitioners or passing by.
This made the expedition team catch a zombie and go back to study the vampire bishop without completing the task.
There is a place where zombies can be confirmed to exist, that is, Teng Town, which is next door at the junction of Guizhou and Hunan Province.
But it is already a terrible area marked as a forbidden zone by the local government. It is said that the entire town has been occupied by zombies. Thousands of zombies have turned the town into ghosts on earth. The local government once sent troops to bombard the city with cannons.
I was unable to do anything to many zombies, and how many people came in were all the acts of sending death.
Although Eric Hoffman believes that he has some extraordinary means, he will not do suicide-like foolish behaviors that bravely break into monster nests.
So I temporarily lived in the church in Gantian Town waiting for news.
When the eyes and ears of Father Frick met Wang Ergou and some others in the restaurant in the town, and heard Wang Ergou brag about the legend of an ancient tomb suppressing zombies in the forbidden area behind their village, he got the news and adventure
The team had been idle for several days, and with the idea of having no dates or not, he spent some money to successfully hire Wang Ergou to lead the way to the forbidden area of Jiangmu Village.
Unexpectedly, this exploration revealed the problem.
Jiang Mu Village is located because of suppressing the forbidden evil spirit. Although it has been digested for hundreds of years and controlled by formations, it can still sense some exposed evil spirits, which is for Eric Hoffman Expedition Team.
To put it, there is a situation.
They held the negative energy detection equipment provided by the Holy Court in their hands, and could roughly detect the existence of negative energy monsters such as ghosts and vampires. The instrument responded after coming to Jiangmu Village.
If this is the case, most of these foreigners have returned without success, just like many practitioners who have been to Jiangmu Village for hundreds of years. They cannot find the true situation of the forbidden area in the back mountain. They just think that this is a gathering of evil spirits.
It's just the land.
But Eric Hoffman was deeply trusted by the vampire bishop, and he happened to have a blood magic prop in his hand as a life-saving card. The thing contained the essence and blood of the powerful monster, which was the breath of this wisp of essence and blood.
The body of the demon corpse suppressed by Jiang Ji in the tomb of Wuling King below the forbidden area rioted. Then, as Jiang Ji was busy suppressing, the aura of the formation was disordered, exposing the real ancient tomb palace to the eyes of the foreigners' expedition team.
Eric and others were overjoyed when they found an ancient tomb. Even if they did not have their mission target zombies in this ancient tomb, it would be a great time to make a fortune. If you take any burial objects to the Europa auction house, then at least
It's a profit of hundreds of pounds or thousands of pounds, which is definitely a huge profit.
Not to mention that if it is some large gold and silver products, porcelain and other treasures, it may be auctioned at a high price of tens of thousands or even tens of thousands of pounds. As long as you get one such treasure, you can turn them into big ones.
Rich man.
So when all members of Eric Hoffman's expedition were so excited to see a "fresh" tomb that had not been developed.
Even Eric himself was extremely surprised, but he was still a little vigilant. He had made various preparations to deal with various emergencies before going down to the tomb.
But after they exploded the tomb door and went down to the front of the underground palace, they had no time to use all their preparations, and were sucked away blood by the demon corpse who had just escaped from the wind and lost their fresh life.
The blood magic props I originally prepared were taken away by the demon corpse and turned into the other party's nutrients before they could be activated.
Fortunately, Jiang Ji rushed to suppress the demon corpse in time, and the vampire bishop behind them was also a senior alchemist. With the help of the church's power, he developed many potions and props with significant effects.
There are also some things that restrain dark creatures such as vampires.
For example, the sacred potion obtained by Eric Hoffman this time is a compound potion made of garlic, silver powder, verbena, sulfur, cinnabar, holy water, etc., which is mainly composed of some industrial raw materials.
The function is to bring huge trauma to dark creatures such as vampires and werewolfs, and it can resist transformation after the human body is injected with toxins by vampires.
In addition to vampires, it also has excellent resistance to the transformation of ghouls and werewolf toxins.
Of course, because vampires need to suck human blood dry and inject their own blood into their first-class ritual to transform their offspring, once they take this sacred potion, the first-class priest will not be successfully transformed, but they will not be able to save their lives.
He could only die as a corpse that had been sucked in blood.
Moreover, the sacred potions are also toxic to humans, but a small amount is not enough to be fatal. Therefore, even the most devout clergy will not use them easily before they are absolutely necessary.
Adventurers like Eric who are not devouts are even more jealous. If they are attacked by vampires, they may accept the transformed fate. After all, vampires will retain their memories of life, which is better than death.
But if you are bitten by an unknown zombie, you will definitely become a monster without wisdom and lose your mind. Therefore, Eric immediately drank the sacred potion for himself before he was attacked by the demon corpse, so as not to die.
If you don’t get sleep, you will lose the chance of going to heaven or even going to hell.
His assistant John was the one who was most loyal to him and was also the only member of the expedition team except Eric who chose to take the sacred potion. Several other expedition team members either hesitated or had no chance. In the end, only these two people took it.
The sacred potion, so a little rationality is retained in the conflict between the two forces of evil evil and the sacred potion brought by the attack of the demon corpse. It is not directly converted into a zombie, but is in a state of neither death nor life.
