The two left the hotel and walked on Theodosius Avenue in Constantinople.
"I don't quite understand." Peggy said, "Ask, you probably want to recruit her, but why do you want to discourage her from becoming a transcendent?"
"No, I didn't dissuade her." Asik shook his head, "I just reminded her that there are risks in becoming a transcendent. Have you heard of the threshold effect? First tell the customer that you can try it with one silver coin, and when the customer pays, you
If you convince him to pay nine silver coins to buy it, it will be easier to succeed than if you sell him ten silver coins in the first place."
"To put it bluntly, becoming non-human is just a matter of self-perception conflict. This is the least significant of the negative impacts faced by extraordinary beings. I have not yet mentioned the loss of physical control and the collapse of rationality. Those are the things that will lead to the fall of extraordinary beings.
It's a serious danger. If I had said it directly, I'm afraid they would have been scared away on the spot."
"What is the loss of physical control and the collapse of rationality?" Paige immediately became nervous.
"To reach the end of the bloodline road, you need to reach level ten, which means taking a total of ten kinds of magic potions." Asker explained, "There are many sequences of potions, and most of them will conflict with each other, so
The further you go, the easier it is to collapse. Losing control of your physical strength will cause you to irreversibly turn into a monster, and the collapse of your mental strength will turn you into a madman."
"Then the two vampire routes you mentioned..."
"That's an ancient secret organization (player forum). After many experiments, it selected the potion combination that has less risks and the greatest benefits." Asker sighed, "The two vampire routes, in
Nowadays, it is a secret knowledge that almost no one knows, so don’t tell anyone.”
"You've already told them." Paige felt helpless.
"It's okay, they two will join us." Aske was very confident.
Oriole Tavern.
Today, when location is becoming more and more important for business, the business of the Oriole Tavern near the city wall has become extremely sluggish. Only old residents nearby occasionally come over to have a drink, lamenting that they don’t know when this tavern will be restored.
Will go bankrupt.
What no one knows is that as a secret intelligence base of the Seljuk Empire in the Eastern Solomon Empire, this tavern will never close down due to "poor management" - unless it is discovered by the Imperial Military Intelligence Agency.
The vampire Mortius walked sadly along the passage on the third floor, came to the room at the end of the corridor, and knocked on the door with a certain rhythm.
The door opened.
She immediately pushed the door open and went in. After closing the door, the vampire knelt on the ground and begged with a trembling voice:
"My master, the stronghold of the Achilles family was uprooted by the church. This is indeed my mistake..."
"You have no right to defend yourself, Mortius." The voice behind the curtain said coldly, "You will have your limbs broken, your spirituality imprisoned, and thrown into an arena surrounded by a river of sulfur, and let the devil decide your life or death.
...If I hadn’t begged His Majesty on your behalf.”
"My kind master, thank you, I thank you." The vampire hurriedly kissed the ground to express his surrender and loyalty.
"My kindness is not without price, Mortius." As the female voice sounded, a round table on wheels was pushed out, with a bottle of magic potion in a narrow-mouth bottle placed on it.
The potion is a viscous and turbid liquid, milky white mixed with bright red lines, and orange-red vortices appear in some places. Looking at it makes people feel itchy and unbearable, as if the skin and flesh all over the body are in rebellion.
"This is... the potion of Flesh II?" Vampire Mortius trembled. There was a faint desire in her voice, but more of it was fear, "My master, but I am applying for Mind Control I.
The magic potion..."
"Do you think you are still qualified to bargain with me under this situation?" The female voice said coldly, "Take it or die."
Most potion sequences have I and II. The extraordinary abilities of sequence II are far better than those of sequence I, but the risk of conflict with different sequences is also greater. Like most entry-level supernatural beings, the vampire Mortius originally
I don’t plan to take the first sequence II so quickly, because this will greatly increase the probability of her losing control when taking new sequences in the future.
However, there is a saying that "the situation is stronger than the person". She has not yet fully digested the extraordinary power brought by the level 1 potion, and the person behind the curtain has long been a level 2 extraordinary person.
You will definitely not be able to defeat him. If you don’t accept Flesh II, you will have no choice but to die. For those behind the scenes, a vampire who has ascended to Flesh II can perform her tasks better in Constantinople. As for her own wishes,
Who cares?
At this point she had no choice.
Trembling, he picked up the narrow-mouthed bottle. The vampire Motius unscrewed the cork and drank it resolutely with an expression of despair and death.
The first thing that changed was her head, which turned red as if being burned by fire, and then the crimson color spread all the way down to her neck.
The extraordinary power characteristics of Flesh and Blood II can be described in two words as "savage". Like a nomad from the grassland, the overbearing extraordinary power instantly invaded every cell of her.
For a moment, it seemed that all the flesh and blood in her body was rioting, screaming and wailing. She scratched her skin painfully. In some places, fine, disgusting granulations grew, and in some places, cheese-like pits appeared.
of necrotic tissue.
The extraordinary power was still penetrating deeper into her body, including muscles, connective tissue, mucous membranes and internal organs. The severe pain spread rapidly like a virus. She felt as if her body had turned into a volcano about to erupt, and had already destroyed her body before the eruption.
It’s riddled with corrosion!
It wasn't until two-thirds of the skin on her body was scratched or rotted that the mutations caused by Flesh II gradually subsided. Vampire Mortius twitched on the ground and almost fainted.
From the beginning to the end, the people behind the curtain did not make any sound, and just watched her struggle as if nothing happened. The vampire Mortius stood up as if exhausted, and bowed tremblingly behind the curtain.
Then she turned around, opened the door, and stumbled out.
Before Flesh I was fully digested, forcibly taking Flesh II caused a huge amount of damage to her. Now she urgently needed to find a place to digest the potion as soon as possible and calm down her spirituality, otherwise the mutation was likely to break out again.
And once she loses control, she has no doubt that the person behind the curtain will kill her immediately.
"Damn it, old maid!" Vampire Mortius thought viciously as he went down the stairs, "If I can reach level 3 early..."
"...I will imprison her in a coffin, insert blood-drawing needles into the most delicate parts of her body, and provide them to the lowest blood servants for wanton abuse..."
Walking down the stairs, she raised her eyes and saw Ask and Peggy standing at the door.
The moment the three people's eyes met, the expression of vampire Mortius was one of surprise and surprise, Peggy's expression was hatred and rage, and Ask...
Asker had no expression, as if he had finally discovered the hidden boss according to the strategy steps, and there was no emotion in his heart.
"Kill you!" Paige, who was dominated by rage, had completely abandoned her reason and charged at full speed like lightning. Vampire Mortius just waved his hand - her arm suddenly turned into a huge flesh-and-blood whip and threw it out.
Paige was pinned to the ground halfway.
Countless bone spikes burst out from the end of the whip, nailing Paige to death in an instant. Along with Paige's cry of pain, Mortius also let out a scream.
Her right eye was blown out, leaving a dark hole.
The bullet came from Asker's rapid-fire pistol Aphrodite. He quickly moved his arm, aimed at his left eye and pulled the trigger again. Although Flesh II no longer caused fatal injuries, his eyes would still be temporarily blinded if his eyes were blown out. Vampire Mothulli
Si quickly activated his ability.
Flesh and Flesh Transfer! The Transcendent of Flesh and Blood II can move her organs freely. Her eyeballs were instantly sunken. When the original spot was blasted and penetrated by a bullet, the eyes emerged from the fleshy whip.
Peggy was already driven out by the bone spurs. Vampire Mortius once again raised the flesh whip and whipped at him at super high speed.
If there were professional players watching on the scene, they would definitely laugh at the stupidity of the vampire Mortius. Because she was afraid of being hit in the eye, she transferred her eyes to the high-speed moving flesh whip. However, this resulted in the vampire's own perspective changing frequently.
, thus creating a large number of fleeting blind spots.
Askew, who is also at a professional level, will naturally not let go of his opponent's mistake. He took a step sideways without haste and dodged the blow with an accuracy that almost grazed his scalp. At the same time, he quickly changed the gun load with both hands.
bomb.
Since the long whip hit Asik's eyes with his eyes and landed on Asik's back, the vampire Motius could not see the movements of Asik's hands in front of him at all.
The next second, gunshots exploded like thunder. In an instant, the ears of Ask and Peggy were filled with a huge buzzing sound, and the vampire Motius was even worse - under the bombardment of 15.2mm elephant hunting bullets,
Her whole head exploded like a watermelon.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Asik continued to load and shoot in an orderly manner. Four rounds of elephant hunting bullets almost beat the vampire Motius into mud. Under this situation, Motius's body was still squirming tenaciously to get closer to him.
Healing, the strength of Flesh and Blood II can be seen clearly.
Asker's handling techniques were even more proficient. He pulled out his long sword, and with a swipe, he divided the vampire's flesh and blood into four, then took them to the four corners of the room and pressed them down with tables and chairs.
Now, no matter how powerful the Flesh II was, there was nothing he could do. Soon, amidst the reluctant whining sounds around him, the vampire Mortius finally died, and the dark red extraordinary characteristics emerged from the four piles of flesh.
Peggy, who was lying on the ground, stopped struggling and just looked at the piles of flesh and blood. Asik slowly stepped forward and collected the extraordinary properties of the flesh and blood.
Every time he picked one up, he would put it in his palm and squeeze it hard to absorb the extraordinary power inside (the extraordinary qualities themselves need to be made into potions to absorb, so the method of pinching them with hands can only absorb the power inside, which will cause the original qualities to escape).
A long-lost feeling came from the body, as if a person who had been hungry for many days suddenly got food, happy and sweet.
Picking up the last extraordinary characteristic, he didn't crush it with his hands, but turned around and stuffed it into Peggy's mouth.
As if chewing the flesh and blood of her enemy, Peggy bit down hard with hatred. The extraordinary power was like rain falling on dry land, nourishing her spirituality that was almost dry due to repeated body healing.
Then she burst into tears.
"Hurry up and finish crying." Asik said, pressing his sword, "We still have things to do."
Peggy got up from the ground, wiped her tears hard, and the wounds on her body were almost healed.
"Let's go," she said briefly.
The two walked up the stairs to the third floor.
"Hold the stairs and wait for me to come back." Ask ordered.
