Shadow Covenant

238 Chapter 237 "Success"

"How long is it?"

"It's coming soon!"

"How's the temperature?"

"It's a little hot."

"Ah, then you cool down."

In a messy underground corridor, the originally carefully carved reliefs have been corroded by acid. Under one of the stone pillars, a conversation between a man and a dragon is surrounding a burning cauldron.

A small young dragon with bronze scales was trying to deliver moist breath to the bottom of the crucible fire, until the fire gradually shrank and the temperature reached its acceptable range, then nodded in satisfaction, and then looked eagerly at the The black-haired young man who worked hard to complete the configuration steps seemed to be waiting for his next instruction, as if he was obedient.

The mage girl on the side was speechless about its degree of financial obsession, but it was also the first time she saw that during the experiment, the main body of the material itself could feel it to control the temperature of the flame. This is a good idea for the experiment. Looking at the With the experiment, her thinking was expanded at once.

At this moment, Woody is carefully controlling the timing of pouring various reagents, strictly following the steps of the previous life, and meticulously carried out the third experiment to the extreme. Finally, when the various materials of the crucible are fused together, it gradually turns into a crucible. When there was a fresh dragon's blood appearance with a bright color and a bloody smell, and bubbles were still bubbling, Woody's original hanging heart was finally relieved.

Now it's finally done!

He couldn't wait to take the special tweezers and began to clamp the hot beaker into the prepared container. As the last drop of dragon's blood fell into the cup, the long-overdue data appeared in Woody's vision.

——"Dragon's Blood Secret Medicine (Rare)"

——"Effect: It is a product made of fresh dragon blood mixed with various wild herbs. The creator's intention is to allow demon hunters to adapt to the blood of the dragon, so that the advanced potion developed will have There is a certain period of rejection and adaptation, but when this period is over, you will start a new life. Although the validity period of this life is only 10 minutes, it can still give you a new experience that you have never had before. With the blessing of blood, all attributes except agility will increase by 2 points, and in addition to body alienation, you can also temporarily gain dragon vein specialties, such as "angry breath", "exhalation barrier", "dragon blood scale"..."

——"The power of the dragon is for me - its breath, its strength, its resistance, now! Let me use its power to crush you bastards! Just like you kill Those innocent villagers are just like you, I want to kill you with a more cruel gesture than you, why? Because I am human, sorry."

——"Monster? I have always been a monster, but this time I changed into a different form, which I call a special combat form! ——A demon hunter who did not want to be named."

……

After carefully sealing the reagent bottle and putting it in his arms, Woody couldn't help smiling when he saw Donnie who was blackened by the flames.

"Thank you Donnie, it worked this time."

As he said that, he reached out to touch its small head, and was about to rub its head like he used to pet cats, but this time Doni turned his head away, and his expression was a little stiff, and his mouth was full of dissatisfaction.

"Huh, even if you thank me, you can't touch the head of the dragon casually. This point is emphasized in the Dragon's Legacy, because this will lose the dignity of the dragon. Only those dragons who are willing to be other people's mounts will do this. And that’s limited to its…”

"Oh, that's it, I'm sorry."

Woody put down his raised hand decisively, and thought about it again.

"What if I add money?"

"Adding more money is not enough. Can more money buy dignity? And there are so many people watching here, how should I get along with them in the future!"

Donnie retorted righteously.

"In addition to the reward, I will add another 100 gold coins, right? But don't worry, the [-] gold coins are not given to you just to pat your head, but to give you extra hard work, so there is no need to spend money Let me touch you, and if you don't give me money, it's not an insult to your dignity, isn't it?"

The potion was successfully configured, and Woody in a good mood stretched out his hand and made a number. This number made Doni who was about to say something immediately embarrassed, and what he said made Doni unable to turn around for a while. Come, but when it heard that there were more gold coins, it immediately nodded in agreement.

"you're right!"

Not giving money is not insulting, giving money is not robbery.

This wise saying exists in its dragon inheritance, which is why many metal dragons have such good reviews. Like most other evil dragons, they just rob without saying a word, and most metal dragons either wait for ships to be in distress, Taking the initiative to rescue, or helping them drive away pirates, so as to get rewards, whether it is departure or intention, they stand on a firm moral high ground.

"That's fine, remember, this time I let you touch your head not for anything else, but because I reward you."

The little young dragon raised its head and said arrogantly.

Although this arrogance was quickly interrupted by the chaotic hand shadows, it turned into a squinting, trying to enjoy... the demeanor of a professional masseur serving the old man.

Obviously, the studies that dragons and cats are somewhat similar are not groundless speculations by those scholars.

After satisfying his hand addiction, Woody stopped being addicted and said directly.

"The break time is over, we now have to make persistent efforts and continue to perform our duties. There are still seven materials. I hope these can be as complete as this time."

However, the only response to him was the slightly resentful eyes of the little young dragon, as if to say that you have had enough...I have not had enough...

After ignoring this small episode, the next situation proceeded in an orderly manner. With the success of the first experiment and a dragon-shaped temperature controller, Woody's confidence in making the dragon's blood secret medicine can be said to have returned to its original state. The way it started.

And the remaining seven materials did not live up to expectations, allowing him to succeed in five, and the remaining two were due to the failure of the secret medicine caused by force majeure during the fusion. Otherwise, Woody could even be a master-level pharmacist. 100% success rate for the rare level.

As the experimental instruments were put away one by one by him, the configuration of the potion also came to an end. His harvest changed from ten parts to six bottles of dragon's blood secret medicine and one semi-finished product, and the remaining three parts were all scrapped, but This is already a terrifying success rate.

Of course, in addition to his experience, it is not entirely his strength, and there is also a little luck mixed in. After all, in addition to his experience in potion refining in his previous life, there is still a living dragon on the scene to help control the temperature. Relying on his experience and techniques, it is still unknown if three out of ten out of ten will be successful today.

At this time, rows of data displays suddenly appeared in the retina, and the top one was .

——"The refining potion failed!"

——"You have refined a semi-finished product of a rare potion, and your skills have been improved to a certain extent!"

——"Alchemy +1"

……

The following is successful.

——"Successful refining potion!"

——"You successfully refined a rare-level potion, and your skills got..."

——"Alchemy +3"

……

A series of ten items in total did not appear until Woody finished collecting all the instruments, and the alchemy points on the panel also skyrocketed from 38 points to 65 points, but this is normal, after all, rare potions are not so easy to refine As far as today's conditions are concerned, there are not many people who can achieve them in the previous life. To a certain extent, it can be regarded as leapfrogging monsters, and it is reasonable to have more experience.

At this time, Ruiya spoke.

"My lord asks how long it will take for you to end. It can stop the black dragon's message transmission, but it is not guaranteed that there is no way to stop it from going out to find the high priest of the temple."

It was only then that Woody realized that the demigod that was chirping like a lark hadn't spoken for a long time after seeing the black dragon, obviously preventing the message that was supposed to be sent had consumed a lot of its strength.

Thinking of this, Woody replied with a flat face.

"Don't worry, it won't be long before it can't talk."

Dragon slaying was already inevitable, he didn't think about backing down, nor did he think about taking a detour, and of course, he didn't try to bribe this color dragon like he bribed Donnie. Their evilness and changeability are well-known throughout the multiverse , believing that they will keep their promises is not as good as believing in the devil's contract, although they are all stupid to die, but the former can at least use the excuse of the devil's cunning, not the fluke of the heart.

Ruiya didn't say anything after hearing this, and hurriedly replied to Feathered Serpent. Although she didn't spend much time with Woody and others, judging from their behavior along the way, what she said was still very convincing, and even more so. What's more, they don't look like people who are dazzled by interests, and the side they showed her is more calm and cautious.

"Shall we do it now?"

Cecil looked at the deep pit at the end of the corridor, which seemed to be unresponsive, and her face was a little probing, or eager to try, especially after seeing Woody configure the potion, she even looked at Woody's face intentionally or unintentionally. At the waist, it seems to be saying, start quickly, distribute medicine quickly, and equip supplies.

For a moment, she somewhat forgot that she was the nominal commander of this team. After walking with Woody, she realized that she didn't seem to have much time as a leader, and she would be influenced by him intentionally or unconsciously.

But no matter how it affects her, she is still a little bit happy, especially when she heard that the effect of the dragon's blood secret medicine is to allow humans to possess the power of dragon-veined creatures for a short time, which made her a little jealous.

In the National Library of Navia, which is known as the crown of Assenland mages, there is no record of this potion. Dragon vein creatures can only be changed through experiments and injections, and they also have uncontrollable and irreversible characteristics. Creatures often go berserk And lose their minds, even the most docile domestic dog.

And if according to what he said the dragon blood secret medicine can achieve, if it is used for mass production, then why should Navia compete with the white dragon and the frost giant for a bite in the icy and snowy territory? The most important task of the Winter Merchant Group is to transport food from the south back to the Northland, in order to avoid the impact of the famine caused by the ice disaster in the Northland.

A lot of people die of freezing and starving in Navia every year, even in Komilan, the capital of Navia. It's hard to guarantee.

A mage can't take care of everyone, and most mages don't care about those people. Of course, Cecil also understands that the mage's rationality is at work. Most mages are nobles and cannot empathize with the common people at the bottom. In their view, the death toll in the slums is just a number on the parliamentary paper.

Woody saw Cecil's curiosity and desire to explore about his dragon's blood secret medicine, but he was far less than she thought, so he just smiled and dismissed her thoughts.

"This thing you ordinary humans can't use, you need a special body."

"A special body?"

Cecil asked curiously, and looked at Woody at the same time, and found that although his appearance was very special, his immature face carried a sharp and stern aura that did not belong to his age, and in other respects, he was simply better than she had ever seen. The normal people here are too normal, anyway, they are much more normal than those brutal and strong men in the Northland who bulge their chest muscles at every turn and have arms like beef tendons.

"I'll explain it to you later."

Woody doesn't want to argue about this issue. The profession of a demon hunter is difficult to explain clearly in a few words. If possible, he doesn't mind spreading the seeds of a demon hunter in Asenland. After all, he used to be a demon hunter. The path served by the advanced "Blade of Purification" is to get rid of the evil "tumors" that the world shouldn't have, which is why he is recognized by the will of nature.

Although he didn't know what would happen to Asenland in this life, he would be more than satisfied if he could delay the progress of the world's destruction a little bit.

"Now let's leave the corridor and go to the botanical garden. You will wait for me at the door later. Cecil, you will use magic to find such a plant. The color and appearance are..."

Woody came up with all the plans in his head in an orderly manner, but others listened a bit confused, such as how did he know that the dragon would pass by that place, or how did he know where the dragon would sneak attack, It’s almost like a well-rehearsed line of sight, but with the approval of the main members of the team, Kaverman and Cecil, even if the spirit of nature doesn’t believe it, it still nods helplessly, expressing respect for Woody’s fate**** *** It’s not long, and Woody has made a few plans, but it’s not too late to wait for the plan to change. After all, it’s all harmless adjustments, as long as the final result remains the same.

……

The black dragon Beast was fidgeting at the edge of the pit and moved the feathered serpent bones excavated by it. The corpses of these once mighty creatures were arbitrarily placed under its claws into the poses it liked, but it still couldn't relieve the pain. It's fidgety.

"Why hasn't the old Ke Suo replied to the letter, and he doesn't care if there are mice in the house."

Although it is fierce in the tunnel, it knows that it is too difficult to defeat them without destroying the temple. These adventurers are not mortals who are crushed at will. It has nothing to do, it is impossible to turn it into an earthworm and burrow in to fight with them, so after seeing that the breath failed, the black dragon gave up the idea of ​​fighting head-on.

At least until Ke Suo, the nominal master of the temple, can solve it.

But what it didn't expect was that the information sent out seemed to sink into the sea, as if it was dead.

But the soul imprint is still shining brightly, obviously still alive.

Didn't read it on purpose?

hateful!Then I don't care!I'm not the dog raised by that old man Ke Suo, if it wasn't for Lord Tiamat...

Thinking of this, Beast couldn't help gnashing his teeth, and crushed one of the most frequently played skeletons in his hand with the force of his claws.

However, at this time, its outer ear moved slightly, and it immediately sensed that something was approaching the edge of the tunnel.

Beast's face was overjoyed, these turtles actually went out!
Hahaha!
Now, it's Lord Beast's turn to appear!

The black dragon roared up.
