My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 103 Investigation
Crown asked, “Is there any good news coming from the church that would be helpful in our current situation?”

"Yes, church research has found that after the gray fog fell, the spiritual concentration of the world began to increase sharply, and the physical fitness of ordinary people has subtly improved a lot. We can train some junior extraordinary beings ourselves, so that we can greatly improve Security of the campground.”

Nick paused and continued: "The Archbishop of Flanders issued a new order to stay in the church through the winter. When the ice melts and the snow melts, the church and the city government will organize manpower to move the people scattered in various towns. To Rhine City. A super fortress will be built there."

"Is it possible?" Crown asked, "If you don't talk about anything else, it's a problem for so many people in a large city to eat, drink, and eat."

"Since the Archbishop has given the order, there must be a solution. When we return to Rhine City, you will find that it is a completely different world."

The priest had longing on his face: "Although my hometown is in Seine, I have been living in the Rhine City since I was selected as an exorcism priest at the age of 12. A foreign land has become my hometown. If I hadn't been sent to this remote place three years ago, place, me.”

"Hey," the priest sighed and stopped talking.

This is like a person who plays with his mobile phone every day and suddenly comes to a remote mountain village with no signal or even electricity. There is a problem only if he can live comfortably.

Crown showed sympathy in his eyes. After a while, he changed the subject and said: "We train the people ourselves. How can the church provide potions that induce the germination of the seeds of life?"

Nick shook his head: "The church does not provide potions, only a potion formula. The herbs in this formula are relatively easy to obtain, and the effect is worse than those used internally by the church.

All potions have side effects, and this potion has even greater side effects.In addition to the magic potion formula, there is also a very common breathing method. "

The magic potion that advances to the extraordinary is equivalent to burning a person's life potential. If the promotion is successful, the life essence will naturally be sublimated to make up for the loss. If it fails, it will be regarded as burning more than ten years or more of life in vain.

"Refining your own magic potion. If there is no herbalist in the church, wouldn't you be blind?"

The priest suddenly smiled bitterly: "Do you think other churches are the same as Zach Town? The slightly larger churches have a complete set of staff, including priests, soldiers, pharmacists, blacksmiths, etc., very complete. There are even The church pride will also form a caravan.

If the gray fog hadn't come, and I just relied on the church to send personnel, I estimate it would have taken ten years for this place to be fully equipped.I'll give you the formula and breathing method after I get out.

Tomorrow Geralt and I will go to the mine, and you will stay and study the formula. It is just an ordinary level of extraordinary potion. You are already skilled in refining the blood-boiling potion, so it shouldn't be difficult. "

"Okay", Crown nodded.

"It's up to you to select trainees and train new extraordinary beings. Finally, someone will help me share the work. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."

While the two were talking, they soaked the anatomy specimens to be left in formalin solution and cleaned and organized the anatomy room.

. . . .

Nick handed over two gray animal skins: "Here are the formula and breathing method."

Crown took it and opened it. There were two animal skins, one large and one small, both of which were extremely thin.

He glanced at the formula of the potion and found that the materials used in it were all toxic tiger and wolf medicines. They had a common effect, which could cause human blood vessels to dilate, accelerate heartbeat, and violently promote human metabolism.

There are only five kinds of herbs in these materials, three of which are in his reserve, and the other two are poisonous and need to be collected by himself.

It's a magic potion that makes you successful if you don't succeed. Ordinary people can only withstand the impact of this potion twice. If they still can't advance to sublimate their lives and replenish their origin, they won't have many days left to live.

Crown rolled up the recipe and looked at the breathing method.The animal skin is densely painted with various movements and the running routes of the life stream, but compared with the flame breath, it is indeed much simpler.

He put away the two animal skins and said: "Leave Del to help me tomorrow. I need him to compile a list of trainees. I will find someone to collect the missing materials for the potion. However, I don't have the gold shield in my hand now. I need to borrow it." Some."

"What about borrowing money? I'll give you 50 gold shields. Just record the consumption in the public account. If you need anyone's help, please inform them directly." Nick found a small cloth bag from the cabinet next to him.

Croun caught the bag and weighed it. There was a clear sound of gold coins hitting it: "With financial support, the herb collectors can work harder."

"There is another situation that needs to be investigated." Nick leaned closer and lowered his voice:
"A few patrol officers actually fell asleep during the day today. I checked and found out that it was because their vitality had been extracted. Something came into the camp. It was probably the return of the evil spirit that wreaked havoc in the town some time ago. "

It must not be the other end. Crown asked: "The evil spirit broke in, but why didn't the magic bell give a warning?"

"The soul fluctuations of monsters and evil spirits are different from those of humans. The Scaring Bell is made based on this principle. It can provide early warning to most known monsters.

If the monster's soul fluctuation is not within its detection range, it is just a decoration.If the evil spirit has possessed and lurked, the Scaring Bell cannot detect it and can only go through the baptism ceremony. "

"No need to bother, the golden light talisman can be tested. Do you have any clues about the suspect?"

"Yes, those who experienced the problem revealed that there was only one person in their house who did not have this problem. I guess the evil spirit has become a little smarter and is afraid of directly killing them to cause alarm, but it is still stupid enough."

Nick continued: "That man went out to collect herbs early in the morning. His name is Hans. You should be familiar with him."

. . . .

When Crown came out of the priest's room, he happened to see Del and Balu burying a wooden stake at the edge of the training ground, with a thick straw mat hanging on the wooden stake.

This is the archery target he ordered the two of them to make. There is also an archery target at the other end of the training ground.

He walked over and thanked him: "Thank you for your hard work. How old are you, Balu?"

"It is our honor to work for you. I am 36 years old this year." Balu wiped the sweat from his forehead and grinned, showing his yellow teeth.

It was a bit too big, and Kroun shook his head inconspicuously.

According to his observation, perhaps due to nutritional issues, residents in the town begin to become obese after the age of 30, and their physical functions begin to decline.

He plans to train those who are no more than 30 years old, and those with good physical fitness can delay the training by two or three years. In this case, even if they do not advance to the extraordinary level after using the potion, they will not burn out their lives and die directly.

"Del, how old are you?"

"Just turned 31."

Crown nodded: "You two work harder and put up an archery target at the gate of the camp. Del, you stay at the camp tomorrow and I have something for you to do."

Several people were talking, and a joyful voice came: "Sir, I picked a lot of herbs today."
