In mid-May, the rain clouds covering the sky accumulated enough strength, and the annual freezing rain season arrived as scheduled.
The heavy rain was pouring down, and the sky and the earth were completely white. The cold and biting raindrops beat on the roofs, eaves, walls, and roads, making a deafening roar. No more pedestrians could be seen on the streets of Braun Town. The townspeople hid.
Back home, the adventurers either spent money to stay in the hotel or returned to their base in the back streets, while the female warriors of the Hemo tribe had already collectively headed to the Earth Mother Temple on the east side of the town.
A heavy rainstorm in the freezing rain season can last as little as one or two days, or as long as four or five days. The harsh climate forces people to stop all outdoor activities and start a lazy and leisurely winter life.
No matter how much it rains outside, Wiltok will go back and forth between the pharmacy and the hotel on time every day. Dr. Cole and Boss Bottom persuade him to move to the pharmacy so that he doesn't have to run around in the freezing rain every day.
But how did they know that Wiltok cooperated with Cole to develop potions during the day, and when sleeping at night, he used the "knowledge puzzle" to learn Cole's secret medicine.
Compared with blacksmithing knowledge, Wiltok is actually better at pharmacies, but there are differences between the Disa Alliance's esoteric medicine theory and the pharmacies in his memory. After comparative analysis of the "Knowledge Puzzle", Wiltok found that the esoteric medicine theory is better than his own.
The pharmacy you master is better. Fortunately, the academic foundations of these two majors are similar and they can be verified and compatible with each other.
Dr. Cole has used secret medicine methods to design an alternative to the blood-derived potion. However, Wiltok showed enough caution about the new formula.
He couldn't accept everything Dr. Cole said. After all, he was taking the medicine for himself.
In order to confirm that the new medicine was effective and harmless to him, Wiltok used a "knowledge puzzle" to confirm the secret medicine method and carefully checked every detail of the alternative plan, which caused the entire dispensing process to be delayed for more than ten days.
Dr. Cole did not expect that Wiltok would be so reckless and actually planned to take the source blood potion himself. He still strictly followed the production process of the new potion, conducted a series of necessary experiments, and came up with new ideas.
In the laboratory of the pharmacy, the half-elf maid Britney carefully picked up a bloated beetle with pliers and pressed it on a dog's neck. The beetle felt the dog's body temperature and immediately put its sharp beak on the dog's neck.
Its mouthparts penetrated the blood vessels of its neck and injected the secret ingredients into it. The sharp-billed insect's bulging belly quickly deflated. Just when it was about to suck the blood, the sleepy dog suddenly opened its eyes and moved its limbs.
Twitching and trying to stand up.
Dr. Cole, who was wearing a mask, nodded with satisfaction and said to Wiltok: "The wake-up test is finally half successful. It can at least prove that the secret medicine I prepared can wake up the sleepy test animals. The problem now is that we have to figure it out.
, the hallucinogenic component of the source of blood secret medicine can cause great damage to the brains of experimental animals. But it is best to find a trustworthy professional animal trainer to do this kind of thing. They can use their abilities to immediately know the damage to the animal.
"
The Source Blood Potion is also called the Dreaming Potion. After the test animals took the potion, they became drowsy without exception. The side effects of the potion were simply shocking. Dr. Cole prepared an injectable secret potion that could force the test animals out of their drowsiness.
Awakening. He hoped that this secret medicine could save those half-elves who couldn't wake up after taking the source blood potion.
In just over ten days, Cole came up with a targeted antidote. No wonder he was so proud.
Wiltok was not interested in this. He remembered that he had practiced the secret method of source blood and taken the potion of source blood. Now he only needs to practice the secret method again and take the potion once to awaken the body's memory without any side effects.
.
"Does the Source Blood Potion still need to be improved?" he asked.
Cole shook his head and said: "At present, it seems that there is no big problem with the Source Blood Potion, but it deserves to continue to be improved. I still think that the oral method of taking the Source Blood Potion is still too backward, and I plan to change it into an injectable secret medicine.
, conduct animal experiments first, and finally start the half-elf receptor experiment. Oh, by the way, the strengthening potion you provided does not need to be improved. It is just a drug to help digestion and absorption. The effect is indeed good, but it can really change the half-elf.
A natural constitution? I'm skeptical about this. Maybe the formula for the strength potion is incomplete and missing important parts. If you think about it one day, we'll see if it's worth improving."
Wiltok knew that the daily strength potion was more valuable than the source blood potion. He could not tell the specific reason. His memory of potion was still missing an important theoretical part. He had not originally planned to reveal the formula of the strength potion to Cole.
However, since the new source of blood medicine has not yet undergone final receptor experiments, Wiltok needs to verify whether the method of transforming the secret medicine is correct.
A strong potion with a simple formula, non-toxic and harmless is the best touchstone to compare two different pharmacies and find out what they have in common.
Dr. Cole used secret medicine methods to determine alternatives to the strong potion formula and successfully produced a new strong potion. He also found two half-elf children from the training camp to serve as test recipients for the new strong potion. The results of the test showed that,
The effect of the new strengthening potion is correct, which indirectly proves that the improved method of occult medicine is effective.
Although Dr. Cole did not value the value of strong potions, Wiltok had already obtained valuable information on secret medicine methods by observing his potion experiments in just ten days, and then used the "knowledge puzzle" to combine them with his own.
Pharmacy knowledge corresponds one by one.
Now, Wiltok has confirmed that there is nothing wrong with the new source of blood potion and he can take it directly.
He didn't want to waste any more time, so he nodded and said, "I'll go back first."
Cole gave him a strange look and asked, "You went back to the hotel so early today?"
"Well, I want to go back." Wiltok did not explain any more.
"Well, we can't conduct receptor experiments for the time being anyway, so you should go back and have a good rest." Dr. Cole nodded indifferently, but did not forget to warn: "Weir, the matter of the source blood potion must be kept confidential."
Returning to the hotel room early, Wiltok closed the door and gently took out a small packet of medicinal powder from the closet. These were samples of the new blood-derived potion. Cole did not allow Wiltok to take out the blood-derived potion privately.
They were worried that he would secretly take drugs that had not yet completed receptor experiments, causing serious consequences.
Therefore, Wiltok quietly brought back a small amount of medicine powder samples with his fingernails every day. All these samples were added up, and the total dose was less than one-tenth of a source of blood potion. For Wiltok, this small amount was
The sample was enough to awaken his body memory.
After practicing the Origin Blood Secret Technique completely, Wiltok did not hesitate and directly swallowed the sample of the new Origin Blood Potion, then climbed onto the bed and waited expectantly for the changes to happen.
A wave of sleepiness surged into his brain, but it was not strong enough to allow him to fall asleep. If he still couldn't fall asleep after taking the potion, it meant that he had failed to practice the secret method of source blood. Just when Wiltok regretted that the dose of the sample was insufficient,
"Knowledge Puzzle" fed back some important information to him.
It turns out that the source blood secret method was first created by himself, and the secret form of the golden toad is the core of it, but others cannot learn the secret form of the golden toad. He had no choice but to add hallucinogenic ingredients to the source blood potion to help other practitioners
Enter the secret state of the Golden Toad, a special state where the body is dormant and the mind is active.
Wiltok himself does not need the hallucinogenic effect of the source blood potion. He only needs to absorb the active ingredients of the source blood potion and then enter the dormant state of the golden toad's secret form.
However, this hibernation was far beyond Wiltok's expectations.
When it was time for dinner, Sarah found that Wiltok had not come downstairs, so she asked Piru, the store clerk, to call him. Piru knocked on the door for a long time, but did not get any response, and finally realized that something was wrong. He forced
He rushed open the door and found Wiltok lying motionless on the bed. He probed his nose with his fingers and found that he was not breathing. There was no pulse even when he touched his wrist. His skin was still cold.
Piru was so frightened that he ran to Boss Bottom in a panic and reported that Wiltok was dead.
The Adventurer's House exploded at that time, and Dr. Cole was urgently called to the hotel by John. He came to the room and was ordered by Bottom to seal off the room. When he saw the fat cook holding Wiltok and wiping his tears, he felt a panic in his heart.
, and quickly asked Bottom next to him: "What exactly is going on?"
Boss Bottom said with a serious expression: "Piru came to call Vertok for dinner before. When he saw that he was motionless, he thought he was dead... We came over to take a look and found that Vertok had a heartbeat, but it was weak and slow, and his breathing almost stopped.
, his body temperature is still very low, he can’t wake up no matter how he screams, he really feels like he’s dead. Tell me, what’s wrong with him?”
Cole's expression became very stiff. This state was actually close to death, but he still said cautiously: "Let me take a look."
He ignited the secret blood and activated the ability of a professional doctor. After carefully examining Wiltok's body, he shook his head and said, "The situation is not good, Wilt. He secretly took the source blood potion, and the hallucinogenic component in it caused him..."
Bottom grabbed Cole's collar and asked viciously: "Why are you so careless?!"
Dr. Cole was speechless. He didn't know how Wiltok stole the medicine sample, but this was obviously his dereliction of duty.
Sarah put Wiltok on the bed, and Wiltok, who was originally unconscious, slowly adjusted his position and then lay down like a toad.
"Cole, my poor Wiltok won't die, will he?" the fat cook stared at the doctor with red eyes and asked.
"Huh?" Cole had never heard that a person who was in shock and dying could pose on his own. He stared at him for a while and murmured to himself uncertainly: "Wil can move on his own? This is impossible.
It shouldn’t be, how could this happen?”
The fat cook took a step forward, and the invisible pressure awakened the doctor from his confusion. He quickly said: "This is a good sign, I can try to wake him up... I recently made a treatment for the origin blood potion.
You can try the antidote on Wiltok."
"Test the medicine with Vertok?"
The fat cook originally had hope, but after hearing what Bottom said, her eyes became sharp and scary.
Dr. Cole was sweating coldly, and said: "I have never seen a situation like Wiltok's... Use the secret medicine to wake him up, maybe it will be better, maybe it will be worse, I'm really not sure."
Bottom paced back and forth in the room, and finally made up his mind and said: "Since you are not sure, don't rush to use your antidote on Wiltok..." He turned to John next to him and ordered: "John,
Now go to the Temple of the Earth Mother and ask Master Gangyan to come and save Wiltok... You tell him that he can repay the favor he owes me."
Without saying a word, John turned around and quickly left the room.
Bottom said to Sarah again: "Gangyan will come to the hotel soon to rescue Wiltok, you'd better avoid him first."
****************
Not long after, John led several people back to the Adventurer's House Hotel. Following John was the spiritual leader of all the Hemo female warriors in Braun Town - Gang Yan, the leader of the Taku tribe.
He has a handsome face, slender and pointed ears, and a diamond-shaped crystal the size of a fingernail in the center of his forehead. He is 2 meters tall and is almost naked except for a pair of uncut bear skin.
The muscles seemed to be carved out of rock, exuding a sense of solid and heavy strength.
Gang Yan's appearance, appearance and temperament are completely different from those of the Disa half-elf. In fact, the Ta Ku and Hemo tribes inherit the ancient bloodline of the rock elves, and the Ta Ku leaders with crystal clusters growing on their bodies like Gang Yan can be regarded as real
Rock elf.
Feeling the natural oppression from their bloodline, Bottom and others consciously bowed their heads to Gang Yan and the two Hemo female warriors beside him.
Gang Yan walked straight to Boss Bottom and stretched out his palm towards him.
Bottom put the limestone block prepared in advance gently on Gang Yan's hand. This stone was very ordinary, but it was a token given to Bottom by Steel Rock, representing the Braun Town Taku clan's commitment to adventure.
A promise from home.
Gang Yan nodded with satisfaction, tightened his slender palms hard, and with a "pop" sound, the hard gray stone was squeezed into a pile of powder by his tyrannical force, which spilled onto the floor from between his loosened fingers.
Bottom's expression was suddenly tangled, as if he wanted to cry and laugh at the same time. With the power shown by Gangyan, the favor he promised was really not ordinary precious. If the leader of the tower cave could rescue Wiltok, he would use it like this
The precious favor is worth it, but if Gang Yan is helpless, then Bottom will suffer a heavy loss this time.
Gang Yan took back the token he handed over and finally began to look at Wiltok, who was lying on the bed, not breathing and with a weak heartbeat. After a long while, he said slowly: "Perfect!"
Bottom coughed and said: "Master Gangyan, Wiltok does have extraordinary beauty..."
"Bartom, I often hear Hemer soldiers talking about 'Beautiful Boy's' unparalleled beauty." Gang Yan turned around and said in a low voice: "But I'm not talking about his perfect appearance... Look at how he sleeps.
What's the posture and state like?"
Dr. Cole had been observing and thinking before. After Gang Yan reminded him, he immediately blurted out, "It looks like a frog... it's Fermisen's immortal frog!"
Bottom asked in confusion: "What's the frog? What is that?"
Cole looked enthusiastic and said in a hurried tone: "A special kind of frog can be buried in the soil for several years without dying. You dig it out of the ground and think it is dead, but it will be alive and kicking again soon... I understand.
Well, it’s not that Vertok isn’t breathing, he’s breathing through his skin! It’s unbelievable, simply unbelievable… How could a half-elf do this?”
Gang Yan asked back: "Doctor, have you seen the openings in rocks? Have you ever heard trees speak? How much do you really know about life? False and wrong knowledge blinds your eyes, blocks your ears, and seals your mind.
With your mouth, you will never be able to see clearly the true meaning of life and death. Only when one day you completely abandon false and false knowledge can you see the truth engraved in our blood by Mother Earth."
Boss Bottom interrupted the leader of the tower cave's preaching and asked irritably: "I don't care what is true or false, any of you can save Wiltok? You can't just watch him turn into a damned beast.
A frog that’s not dead, right?”
Gang Yan smiled and said: "I will take him back to the Earth Mother Temple and hold a ceremony for him. When he wakes up, you can send someone to pick him up."
Bottom remained silent for a moment, then turned around and punched, knocking down the door frame of the guest room, and ordered a few of his men: "Try not to overturn Wiltok, and carry the bed over as well."
