Victor touched his chin and it felt smooth. Only then did he confirm that his disguise had expired and his true appearance had returned.
"What's going on? None of you reminded me..." Victor was very confused. His disguise came from the secret method of Dr. Cole of Braun Town. It was expensive, had unique effects, and couldn't be washed away with water. How could it happen?
What about falling off for no reason?
Harvey was stunned for a moment, then explained in a low voice: "We thought you knew..."
Victor was also speechless. He didn't even have a mirror in his hand, so it was impossible to see himself. Of course, Stephanie's look of wanting to look at him but not daring to look at him was also a reminder, but Victor didn't pay special attention to this.
A dispensable little girl.
"So, my appearance has been exposed... Where are the four Dragon Vein Shield Guards?" Victor asked coldly.
Gladiator slave Kent immediately responded to Victor's inquiry: "Master, I woke up first, but when I woke up, the four shield guards were not here."
The dragoon is away, and the mayor's wife Christine is missing.
The information in the Dream Arena suggested that Christine had also been implanted with the alchemical snake touch. However, Victor's magic source embedded body did not sense Christine's alchemical snake touch, indicating that she was not nearby. As for the fact that she was not nearby.
, it is unknown whether the dragoons took Christine away.
Victor has a question about Christine. He wonders why he used the alchemical snake touch to rescue her?
Although she was in a state of split consciousness at the time, Christine had a bad personality, brought her own troubles, and was very dangerous.
Under normal circumstances, a demon female like this should be avoided as much as possible to avoid getting too deeply involved with her.
In this case, Christine must have some special value that outweighs her troubles, so it is worth Victor using an Alchemical Snake Touch on her.
What special value does Christine have?
In addition, the four missing dragoons will undoubtedly bring additional risks.
Victor hoped that they would have died in the hands of the devil, and that would be the end of it.
If the dragoons were still alive, Victor believed that they would not give up the clues here easily, and they would probably continue to track him down.
Kent, who was the first to wake up, didn't know the whereabouts of the dragoon, and there was no need for anyone else to ask.
Victor could only wait for the witcher to solve his own problems, and then talk to them, hoping that the witcher could explain his questions.
Before that, Victor had to check the storage situation of the life distortion potion. The dragoon's primary target must be the mayor's wife Christine, and the mayor's research results are their secondary targets, including
Life distortion potion.
There were a total of six small wooden barrels containing potions on the hand trailer of the mayor's butler, and none of the small wooden barrels was damaged in the fierce battle, and all of them were actually well preserved.
This was probably an unexpected surprise. Victor opened the first bucket lid and found that it was filled with transparent and viscous potion, which made him very satisfied.
His hand touched the second wooden barrel, and he obviously felt that the weight was wrong. His expression suddenly changed. He quickly opened the lid and found that there was only half a barrel of potion in it.
Victor quickly checked the third bucket and found it was empty.
The fourth bucket is empty.
The fifth bucket is still empty.
Victor's good mood suddenly took a turn for the worse. When he checked the last barrel, he suddenly froze.
There was no life distortion potion in the last barrel, not even a drop. However, the barrel contained many lumps, each of which was the size of an adult's fist.
Victor picked up a lump and took it out, carefully observed it in his hand, and recognized that it was a curled-up snake!
They were roughly oval in shape, covered with a hard shell, and looked roughly like the fossils of some kind of worm, rather than living demon flesh. However, Victor recognized the alchemical snake touch and determined that they were all in a dormant state.
He roughly estimated that there should be no less than 150 alchemical snake touches here, which means that they can be used to strengthen more than a hundred awakened people or professionals, not only improving their strength and agility, but also giving them the ability to regenerate extremely quickly.
Extraordinary talent!
The corner of Victor's mouth couldn't help but curl up slightly. Although there was only a little more than one bucket of precious life distortion potion left, the application value of Alchemy Snake Touch was even greater than the life distortion potion. What's more, there were so many Alchemy Snake Touch.
Enough for him to form an elite extraordinary force at his disposal.
As for the life distortion potion, it is actually sufficient as a test material for occult medicine. Even if there is a major breakthrough in related research, the experimental results may not be as valuable as the application value of Alchemy Snake Touch.
Victor also thought that the Life Distortion Potion was probably used to create alchemical snake tentacles, so the number had dropped sharply. In addition, the demon hunter Rhine had repeatedly said that he would recycle the corpses of monsters, and other things were not needed. This seemed to symbolize the activation of flesh and blood by monsters.
Snake touch is actually very valuable.
"Quick, you guys are looking around to see if there is any flesh and blood of monsters that can crawl around like snakes!"
Victor and Naturally assigned new recruits of adventurers and half-elf thugs to do the work for him.
The Alchemist and Kent immediately followed Victor's instructions and separated, each looking for Snake Touch in the underground cave. When they walked a little further, the dark hunter Maddie whispered: "Victor, are you really going to take them in?"
?”
This time, Victor did not hesitate, nodded directly and said: "Yes."
"But...forget about that thug named Kent, he probably has no background. But the Death Claw Adventure Group can be considered a force in the entire alliance. Even if these six people really want to follow you, the Death Claw Adventure Group may not send someone
Find them. After all, Herman is a fifth-level archer. A fifth-level venerable with rich practical experience like him has status, wealth, and relatives and friends in the Deathclaw adventure group." McGrady expressed his concerns,
He continued: "Moreover, they have amnesia now. Who knows that they will not recover their memory in the future? If they recover their memory in the future, will they secretly contact the Deathclaw Adventure Group and plot against us?"
"No! I don't think so..." Harvey walked closer, heard Maddie's concerns, and said: "Back then, I overdosed on the secret medicine, and my whole body was as stiff as a stone. In fact, I was already dead. It was Wei
Kedo saved me... The situation of the Deathclaw Adventure Team was very similar to what I was at that time... Do you understand what I mean?"
Resurrection from the dead is a feeling that only the person involved knows.
Harvey actually wanted to say that everyone who was saved by Victor loved him, but his statement had no objective basis.
"Oh, okay, pretend I didn't say anything." McGrady shrugged and took back his opinion.
At this moment, his sensibility defeated his rationality, and he inexplicably chose to believe the reasons given by Harvey.
Victor thought that Maddie had considered the issue more carefully and carefully. If he had not known that the six adventurers were Alchemy Demons, he would have supported Maddie and would never have taken in the amnesia patients from the Deathclaw Adventure Group because the two parties had no friendship.
, there will be too much uncertainty.
Since Herman and others are now Alchemy Demons, Victor can safely control them.
"This time, I support Harvey." Victor smiled, patted Maddie on the shoulder, and said gently: "However, I hope you can give me advice from time to time like you did today... I will be grateful.
your."
McGrady was flattered and quickly lowered his head and said, "Sir, this is my honor!"
"Very good, let's take a look at this." Victor nodded and waved to the two of them to take a look at the contents of the small barrel.
"Huh? What is this?"
"Why are there so many fossils of a certain creature?"
Victor took out an alchemical snake touch and introduced: "I rely on this... secret medicine, yes, it is a living secret medicine, to save you and them. I can only tell you now, these living secret medicines are
Made with monster flesh and blood and precious potions stored by the mayor."
"They have many incredible features, such as..."
Victor explained the functional characteristics of the Alchemy Snake Touch to the two in detail, but subconsciously avoided using the prefix "Alchemy".
Harvey and Maddie were both stunned when they heard this. They pricked their palms with a knife and watched helplessly as the fascial nerves glued and repaired the wound at an extremely fast speed without letting a drop of blood flow out of the wound.
"Each of us can change our appearance through the secret medicine snake touch, and then get two faces, and we can restore our original appearance at any time."
"After Herman and the others changed their appearance, they acquired new identities. The Deathclaw Adventure Group will no longer be able to recognize them."
"Of course, this ability is equally important to us." Victor concluded.
Harvey smiled happily and said: "There is such a good thing, then I hope I can become a strong, tall man and look a little younger."
"I want to be more handsome." McGrady said equally excitedly.
Victor nodded and added: "The appearance of the secret medicine Snake Touch is fixed, and the appearance will not age; in addition, it has a limited change, and the size cannot be adjusted too much. So, Harvey, you will not
Become very tall."
"Oh, no, forget it. I originally wanted to be a substitute for you when necessary, but it seems I can't." Harvey said with a little regret.
Victor understood how conspicuous his height and figure were among the half-elves. The nearly perfect body proportions were a very obvious feature and easily attracted attention. He smiled easily: "It doesn't matter, I can make myself a little shorter."
A little bit, with a thicker body and an ordinary appearance, so no one can recognize me."
"Then what should we do?" McGrady thought for a while and then said anxiously: "Sir, what I mean is how do you change to make the second appearance meet your expectations? I'm worried about wasting the only change.
Opportunities, but also make myself look less than decent."
Victor shook his finger on his forehead and said: "The change depends on imagination... There is no need for you to worry. I will draw a portrait for you. When you are basically satisfied with the drawing, you can then compare it with the portrait and start changing. This way there will be no mistakes."
Already."
While the three of them were chatting, Victor suddenly turned his head and looked to the other side. He heard that Rhine and his three women were already on their way back, and ordered: "Let's first count the secret snakes. Harvey
You are responsible for the secret potion Snake Touch and the remaining life potion."
"Sir, you can rest assured and leave it to me!" Harvey promised, patting his chest.
After counting by the three of them, there were a total of 172 Alchemy Snake Touches here. Victor was very satisfied with this. The additional Alchemy Snake Touches could cultivate more elites for him, and could also be used to replace aging snakes that had exhausted their life energy.
touch.
In addition to the alchemical snake touch and the life distortion potion, Harvey and Maddie also counted about 500 gold pagodas, 1,200 silver pagodas, a suitcase of high-quality blue diamonds, and 15 boxes of swordsman-specific living secret potions in the trailer.
The total valuation exceeds 35,000 gold pagodas, which is a considerable fortune.
In addition, the mayor's housekeeper also prepared a set of legal contract documents regarding the ownership of a certain suburban plantation. It seems that he and the mayor's wife had long planned to abscond and elope. This can be seen from the large number of women's clothing in the trailer, and
A dazzling array of jewelry can be seen.
If she hadn't prepared in advance, the mayor's wife Christine wouldn't have been able to carry so many beautiful dresses and exquisite jewelry at short notice.
Harvey and Maddie both said "we are rich", but Victor found a partial map of the Disa Alliance from the car, which marked the escape route of the mayor's butler and the specific location of the plantation.
It is located at the farthest end of the western suburbs of Fallen Leaf City, adjacent to the eastern suburbs of another city-state, the Eagle's Nest City. It is actually the hinterland of the Disa Alliance, but it does not have the jurisdiction of a small town. The location is very remote and resource-poor, making it suitable for hiding.
The mayor's housekeeper also specifically noted that bandits were rampant in the mountains and forests there, and the plantation must have been occupied by bandits. However, he and Christine like bandits, and the bandits may not like them.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Victor remembers all the contents of the map so that he can view it at any time in his spiritual dream, and then throws the map into the bonfire and burns it to ashes.
Not long after, the witcher Rhine and the three ladies arrived at the temporary camp. The gladiator slave Kent accompanied them, saying that he had met them on the road and specifically led them.
Kent knelt down on the side and behind Victor, with vigilance in his eyes, just like Harvey and Maddie who were appropriately wary of the witcher.
As for the six alchemy demons, they were still faithfully carrying out their master's previous instructions and did not come back at all, nor did they consider whether their master needed protection when facing four demon hunters.
It can be seen from this that although the Alchemist Demon has retained his common sense, his ability to think independently has indeed been weakened.
Of course, Victor didn't think that Rhine and his woman would be disadvantageous to themselves. They had revealed their demonic identities in the battle with monsters before, but the evil body was obviously a heavy burden for the female witcher. But if they didn't
Using the demon's evil power will not pose much of a threat to Victor.
Victor and the witcher are not in a hostile relationship. They just need to be wary of each other. There is no need to show excessive hostility.
This is also the reason why Victor sent all the alchemical demons to the camp. He wanted to create a relatively relaxed conversation environment with Rhine instead of a tense confrontation.
"My friend, you need a bowl of hot broth now." Victor served a bowl of broth from the pot to Rhine, expressing his kindness by sharing the food, but did not give it to the three witcher ladies.
They were dressed in rags, with only their vital parts covered with torn skirts, but they were all in high spirits and radiant.
If the demon-hunting ladies were all cold and stunning beauties before, now they are like spring elves, charming, plump, tender and well-behaved around Rhine.
In contrast, the tall and majestic Rhine looked languid, with a pale face and a listless look, as if he had been drained of energy.
Rhine felt that Victor was making fun of him, but he had no evidence, because Victor seemed very sincere, so he took the bowl of broth, smiled to himself, and said: "We demon hunters are not good at dealing with ordinary people.
Fortunately, you are not an ordinary person, and you should be able to understand the importance of our partner's secret ceremony to us."
"Actually... I don't understand." Victor shook his head and said, "I know very little about the secret ritual of companionship."
Rhine couldn't help but be stunned and said: "You are a direct bloodline of the famous Golden Nightingale family...Okay, let me tell you the truth, when you killed the big demon, I saw you control the strong wind like a blue-black giant axe, and directly
The demon was split in two... Only the Moon Dancer of the Golden Nightingale's famous family can master the power of the storm."
He paused and continued: "Besides, I know you are on the run... The new patriarch of Golden Nightingale is openly hunting for the direct bloodline of the former patriarch. But I can assure you that I will never betray your information."
"The new patriarch of Golden Nightingale is known as the strongest hero of the Disa Alliance. Even the famous Golden Wing clan can't do anything against him, but our Demon Hunter Guild doesn't care about him at all." The demon hunter looked at Victor levelly and said proudly: "We are the Dragon King Palace.
Effectiveness.”
Dragon King Palace?!
Victor was shocked. As far as he knew, the Disa Alliance, the Blackfire Orc Tribe, and the Goblin Kingdom were collectively called the Kingdom of Dragons. The three mutually hostile races of half-elves, half-orcs, and goblin orcs were actually all
Subjects of the Dragon Kingdom. However, Dragon King Philumat does not care about politics. He usually hunts for treasures except for sleeping. However, there are servants from three major clans under him, and these servants call themselves the Dragon King Palace.
There are three Dragon King's Halls among the three major clans. The Dragon King's Hall mentioned by Demon Hunter Rhine naturally refers to the Half-Elf's Dragon King's Hall.
There is no doubt that the half-elf Dragon King Palace has huge influence and transcendent status in the Disa Alliance, so Rhine is confident and can ignore the authority of the new patriarch of Golden Nightingale.
Victor now has emerald eyes, an affinity with the water element, and a sinister and sophisticated personality. He did not show any surprise, but brought the topic back to the original point, "Do you think I am born in a famous family, so I should be proficient in the secrets of companionship?"
Rhine was a little disappointed. He stated that he also wanted to recruit Victor to join the Demon Hunter Guild, but the other party seemed to have another trump card and didn't care much about the oppression of the new leader of the Golden Nightingale clan.
"This matter has to start with the two of them." Rhine pointed to Ruth and Jessica playing outside the camp, and said thoughtfully: "When I first saw them, I suspected that you were...
My colleagues... As you can see, the combination of demon hunters includes one male and multiple females. We are comrades-in-arms and close companions."
Victor lowered his head, stirred the bonfire with a wooden stick, and said, "I'm listening, please continue."
Rhine nodded and said: "Well, female witchers are called Silver Blade ladies. They control the power of demons and are cursed for this. The important responsibility of male witchers is to take care of the Silver Blade ladies. When necessary, use the secret ritual of companions to
The power of the Earth Mother quells Lady Silverblade's evil agitation."
"Of course, our companion mystery is very unique, and it involves the origin of the Silver Blade Lady."
"In fact, the Dragon King Palace orders professional female slaves from high goblins and transforms them into silver blade ladies. Because high goblins have some strange abilities, they seem to be able to confuse intelligent creatures and turn intelligent creatures into idiots. This is very convenient.
Easily enslaved."
"The key is that idiots who are confused by hobgoblins can eventually recover their minds, and there is no damage to their intelligence or body!"
"The Demon Hunter Guild needs this kind of 'idiot' female professionals who can restore their sanity. They are like blank containers that can contain the evil power of the devil, and their blank minds will not go crazy in the process."
"Next, the witcher will perform the secret ceremony of companionship with them. After that, Lady Silver Blade will quickly regain her consciousness and establish a very close connection with the witcher."
When Victor heard this, he pointed at Rhine and asked in shock: "Let the hobgoblins turn female professionals into 'idiots'. Isn't this cruelty? The so-called secret ritual of the witcher's companion actually enslaves them.
A key step, right? Also, don’t tell me that Ms. Silver Blade is all voluntary!"
Rhine said indifferently: "I also hope that they are all voluntary, but this is simply impossible... You are right, but I was not the instigator of these crimes of mutilation and slavery. Why should I feel guilty about this?"
A female witcher with short black hair saw through Victor's intentions. She leaned against Rhine tightly and said softly: "Mr. Victor, you don't have to sow trouble between us and Rhine. Although you are handsome, powerful and mysterious,
, but Rhine is the best in our hearts, please don’t slander our lover.”
The other two ladies also agreed. Just looking at their mental states, Victor could be sure that their personalities had been reversed. Even if their previous memories were restored, it would not matter. They could not betray Rhine.
Rhine even said bluntly: "If our Demon Hunter Guild is forced to do this, then the famous nobles are really going too far. They also purchase female professionals from high-level goblins, and even send young and beautiful female servants to the earth.
They will turn the female servants into idiots, and then bring them back to perform the secret ceremony of companionship, and obtain a private slave girl who is completely obedient to their will."
Victor understood now that Ruth and Jessica were captured by the hobgoblins on their way to escape and turned into "idiot" goods, ready to be sold, but they were rescued by him again.
Rhine saw Ruth and Jessica in Water Snake Town and guessed that he might be a colleague of the Demon Hunter Guild, so he tried every possible means to test them.
This is all a misunderstanding.
Victor smiled self-deprecatingly and asked, "Ruth and Jessica, can they regain their sanity and memory without having to perform the secret ritual of companionship?"
Rhine nodded and said: "The longest half a year, the shortest two months, they can dispel the confusion of the hobgoblin and restore their consciousness and memory." After a pause, he tried to ask again: "You really don't want them to be
Your personal slave girl?"
Victor shook his head and smiled: "I don't shoulder the mission of hunting demons, and I don't have the bad habit of playing with my own people at will. Why should I take advantage of others' danger and abuse two poor, innocent ladies?"
"I estimate that they will regain their consciousness and memory soon... When the time comes, I will invite them to join my team as followers."
Victor looked at Ruth and Jessica and said calmly: "If they reject my invitation, then I can only kill them. This is a last resort."
