The climate in Palermo, or in other words, the Bay of Alor, is unpredictable in terms of wind and rain, just like yesterday it was sunny and clear, and today it is covered with dark clouds, and heavy rain may fall at any time.
After Woody woke up, he looked at the gloomy sky outside the window and was stunned for a moment. The moon was clearly out yesterday, so logically it wouldn't rain.
However, his mood is a bit complicated now and he doesn't pay much attention to the weather.
Mainly because just now he subconsciously called the name of the smart butler in his previous life, but when he opened his eyes, he looked at the luxurious and simple ceiling.
Really, I can’t go back...ah.
For a long time, Woody was silent, and finally sighed, suppressing the most abundant emotions in the deepest part of his heart.
After all, the road is already at his feet. Since he can't look back, there is no need to be nostalgic, nostalgic and persistent, and just keep moving forward.
Thinking of this, Woody suddenly felt that the sea was vast and the sky was high, and the future was bright. Even the haze caused by the itching on the back of his neck did not waver at all.
Immediately he got dressed and got up, his movements were particularly nimble. This was his habit when he participated in the interstellar battle group training in his previous life, and it also allowed him to live a regular life after he retired from the army. Even if he became a professional player in the virtual game, his body was far better than ordinary people.
People are much stronger.
As he woke up, not long after, breakfast was pushed to the bedroom by a maid in a black and white apron. This seemed to be his aunt's order. In the past, breakfast was eaten at a long marble dining table downstairs that could accommodate more than 20 people.
of.
And Woody was eager for this. He hurriedly finished a breakfast similar to Dutch waffles, drank a cup of still warm milk, and walked quickly downstairs to the alchemy room where he had stayed last night.
The furnishings inside were still the same as when he left yesterday. Bottles and cans were neatly arranged, but there were some empty retorts and substances had settled in the test beakers.
This is a necessary process for decoction in "Xingcao" and "Green Grass Trial". Although the main ingredient has not arrived yet, other processes can already be started. It is just time to familiarize yourself with the feel of decoction and see if you are good at it.
.
However, he also worked as a demon hunter mentor for a period of time in his previous life, so he may not be able to prepare difficult potions. However, for the most basic "Grass Trial", Woody still feels that he is very familiar with it very quickly.
.
After all, it's not that difficult, and the process is only one-twentieth that of the advanced alchemy potion "Blood of the Red Dragon."
That is a frightening potion that can make the player's body shape resemble that of an adult red dragon after taking it. Of course, it also has serious side effects. You must first resist the first wave of dragon blood boiling inside before you can harness such a powerful force.
If you can't control it, there is a bottle of extremely poisonous alchemical potion. One drop is enough to make a troll with a constitution of over 20 points and the ability to regenerate embrace death.
"There are countless people who dream of gaining the power of dragons, but only demon hunters have succeeded." - Demon Hunter Mentor Ann Barker
But even if the potion can be used, it depends on the person.
There once was a second-level and almost third-level demon hunter who spent a huge sum of money to take the blood of the red dragon in order to help his girlfriend in the game get an advanced certificate during an adventure, and then dismantled a dungeon BOSS, a dracolich, on the spot.
Thousands of parts, not to mention those burned into powder by dragon flames.
However, in the end, because the destructive power was too strong, some of Dracolich's collections were also destroyed, and the advanced certificates were also lost. In the end, in addition to experience, the man did not even earn back one-tenth of the potion money, and they broke up and let him go.
When I went to the forum, it became a joke among players making fun of Demon Hunter players.
Among them, the most critical reason why demon hunters can withstand the "blood of the red dragon" potion that is enough to kill the mountain giant is the foundation laid by the "Green Grass Trial" for the body. In addition to making the body develop drug resistance, it can also
Stimulate a "mutation" in the body.
This is the truth that makes the demon hunter's body stronger and sharper than that of ordinary warriors. He can also make movements and reactions that ordinary people cannot achieve. At the same time, he has a pair of eyes that can see through the night.
The subsequent advanced potions not only allow demon hunters to be immune to diseases and poisons, but also gain the favor of the soul of nature. They have high-level lifespans and spell-like abilities. At high levels, they are comparable to being unable to kill Xiao Qiang.
The attributes make many players envious.
But that’s what the profession is, and the threshold is there.
Although the demon hunter is very powerful in the early, middle and late stages, unlike the warrior who can cultivate fighting spirit in the early stage, his already deformed body makes him rely on the help of magic potions, and the prices of some rare herbs in "Saint" have been at the top of the game merchants.
Under control...
Therefore, demon hunters are also known as "Kryptonian gold hunters", and there are also rumors that the poor are rogues and the rich are demon hunters.
"In this world, no one will compete with me for medicinal herbs."
Woody couldn't help but think of his previous life as a demon hunter. When he finally entered the dungeon, he couldn't even afford a bottle of potion of the same level. All he could say was that it was not an ordinary misfortune.
Fortunately, he no longer has to suffer the contamination of those fourth natural disasters in this life. He had asked yesterday that the recent oracle in the temple had not mentioned a word about "the Holy One", so the player was naturally in vain.
Because it had been processed yesterday, Woody came here mainly to finish the work and see how the medicine was "waking up". Sometimes he was handling the unprocessed herbs, and sometimes he was observing the bubbling in the test tube.
Green-purple liquid.
"Yellow-eyed vine should be available today, and the mandala root store said it would arrive in two days, and..."
While silently thinking about the poor medicinal herbs in his mind, he looked at the process in front of him to see if there were any mistakes.
Soon, time passed so quickly.
…
On the other side of this city area, there is a greenery similar to that in the South District. However, what is displayed here is not a manor, but a small single-family building not far away. This is where the rich people of Palermo live.
.
People who are not above or below live here, and businessmen traveling from north to south occasionally rent it for a few months to serve as a resting place.
In the basement of a small building on the edge of the building, the candlelight was dim and swaying, accompanied by the sound of wind and rain gradually rising outside the basement window.
"how's it going?"
A hoarse, intermittent voice came out from the darkness.
Where the candlelight can illuminate, there is a stool and table, and a sexy mature girl is sitting on the stool.
Judging from her attire, she looked like she was coming off a dinner party. The girl in the red off-shoulder evening dress was particularly beautiful.
Of course, although she was wearing a bold and unrestrained evening dress, her hands covered with red nail polish were placed obediently on her knees, looking docile and obedient, far less wild and unruly than when she was outside.
"Mom, just as you said, I put all that stuff in the tea, making sure no one saw it, and they drank it all."
After speaking, she showed a worried look and said to her mother in the darkness.
"Isn't it too risky to have so many parasites at once this time? Mother, can your body still support it?"
The people in the darkness couldn't help but let out hissing laughter when they heard the girl's success.
"Don't worry... my... daughter, I have... felt... paying attention to this world. He is going to...! He... is coming!"
He spoke quickly, and his vague words were like a strange whisper, which was particularly terrifying in the dark and deep basement.
But the girl's eyes were full of tenderness, and she looked at the silhouette gradually emerging from the darkness, showing an expression of admiration.
"Then mother, when can I become like you? It's perfect!"
At this point, a rosy color appeared on the girl's cheeks, full of spring, and her slender legs under the evening dress couldn't help but stand together.
"Very...fast, soon..."
The thing in the darkness finally revealed its outline. It was a humanoid body that was only 1.6 meters tall. Its face was covered with fist-sized tumors. The most swollen of them were two giant tumors on the chest, which almost reached the waist. The surface of the tumors was
It was covered with yellow pimples and white pustules, which looked like a ball-shaped object surrounded by tumors.
Where sounds are made, the sarcoma under the tongue can also be seen squirming and squeezing between the teeth when it is opened and closed.
——The first stage that all those who change jobs and become a cultist must go through.
"Transformation"
Make the imperfect perfect!
Grandia looked at her mother in front of her with an expression of great admiration.
"Mother, you are only one step away."
"Yes...ah, there are still two left to complete the ceremony."
"How long has it been since...?"
Although her mother didn't mention her by name, Grandia still knew who she was referring to.
Woody Aleister, a vulgar person attracted by her ugly beauty.
"Three days have passed. If nothing happens, the injury will increase on the seventh day. On the fifteenth day, you will be qualified to become my lord's food."
"It seems that he hasn't discovered the seed yet. He didn't choose to go to the temple to relieve it, but instead looked for medicine on his own. So I heard you and didn't choose to directly detonate the seed in his body."
"Okay, after a few more days, even those false god...priests will be gone..."
"Well, don't worry, mother, I understand him best! He will come to me to discuss anything."
If Grandia said what she just said, she was a little nervous and uneasy, but when it came to Woody, she was more confident than ever before.
