My Liver Experience in the World of Cthulhu

Chapter 174

"Because of you, I can walk on the path of a spiritual master without any danger. How could I expose you?"

Rodney shook his head and continued with a troubled expression:

"However, due to my outstanding performance, I have already attracted people's attention. Some high-level warlocks have begun to study my spirit control, and the brotherhood has begun to search for the reason for my specialness."

He didn't expect that his situation was so different. He didn't try to cover it up at the beginning, but now his attempt to cover it up felt a bit like trying to hide it.

We can only pretend not to know anything and blame everything on the special nature of controlling spirits.

However, this cover-up may not last long, and sooner or later the truth will be exposed.

After staying in the Brotherhood for a month, he had a vague grasp of the nature of the warlocks. Most of the warlocks really liked doing research and experiments.

For those people who are full of curiosity and desire for research, an example like this, which is not affected by the spirit control at all, is very attractive.

He could detect the way those warlocks looked at him, like a gourmet looking at delicious food.

Croun understood that this was the result of his previous carelessness.

Visualizing the Golden Light Spell gave him a special physique. He had thought about the significance of the Golden Light Spell to the Spirit Controller, but he had not expected such a big impact.

At that time, he should have left less talismans and seals. The other party would definitely show the state that a spiritual controller should have.

But it is too late to say this now. All we can do is make remedial measures and delay time.

"From now on, please stop using that medicine."

"I have stopped using it since the past few days." Rodney spread his hands, his face solemn:

"I'm not going to use your potion in the coming time. I'm going to improve myself like a normal spirit master. I hope I can get less attention, but I can't guarantee it."

Crown nodded slightly. If no one got the potion directly, things should return to normal in a few days:

"Do you still have the potion on you now?"

"No more. A few days ago, after I noticed that I was receiving more and more attention, I poured the potion in my hand into the sewer. The talismans you gave to Tiffany were also burned by us."

"You've been in a fraternity now?"

"Yes, I was originally on the patrol team and went to the Brotherhood every three days to get tested. They found something strange about me a week ago and transferred me back to the Brotherhood."

Maybe things haven't gotten so bad yet, and the warlocks haven't discovered the real reason why he is different from other spirit masters.

"Okay, just pretend you don't know anything, and I'll explain it to my sister."

Crown stood up and left the study. He saw Tiffany cleaning up in the living room: "Sister, you don't want to practice that meditation method recently."

"Is there something wrong? A few days ago, Rodney said that your potion was too effective and might cause unnecessary trouble. He asked me to burn all the talismans."

Tiffany was a little worried and continued: "Is there a lot of interest involved?"

In her opinion, these medicines are like special medicines for treating certain diseases, and their target customer group is those extraordinary people.

Extraordinary people are much richer than ordinary people. This kind of special medicine should involve the interests of many big people.

She still knows very little about the world of extraordinary beings and does not understand the real impact these potions can have.

"It's not just benefits, there are other things." Kroun was slightly annoyed.

In the past, his thinking was still stuck in the mentality of a little person drifting with the crowd, and he did not think so far-reaching.

His initial thought was that even if he was exposed, he would be regarded as a medicine-refining machine by some organizations because of his unique skills.

Now he is worried that if the Warlock Brotherhood finds out, he will be put into the laboratory for research.

If the worst-case scenario happens, others have plenty of means to deal with it.

Tiffany frowned and her expression became serious: "Is it serious?"

"It's okay, I can handle it. But I will live in the Holy Fire Cathedral for a while and won't come out to visit you."

At this moment, Tiffany realized that the matter was serious and her brother needed to hide in the church to seek refuge.

She nodded: "Everything is about your safety, take care of yourself."

. . . .

Del sat in the living room drinking tea, watching Janice play with love in his eyes.

The girl gently threw a white ball of wool the size of an adult's fist. Buster excitedly rushed out to pick up the ball of wool, then ran back to her and placed the thing at her feet.

When Kroun opened the door, a ball of thread was thrown towards him, and he subconsciously turned sideways to avoid it.

When he saw what it was, he reached out and caught the ball of thread.

"Sir, you are back!"

Del stood up in surprise when he saw the person coming in: "The ingredients in the kitchen at home have changed. I guess you are back."

"Hello, uncle," Janice waved with a smile, stretched out her hand and ran over.

After returning the ball of thread to her, Crown walked to the sofa and sat down, and replied:

"Yes, I came back at noon today. I heard that you are now working in the patrol team. How do you feel?"

"It's safer than being in the Security Bureau, and the pay is less."

Del waved his hands mysteriously: "Let's go back to the room and talk. Janice, don't run out to play."

"I know, daddy," the girl agreed without looking back.

Crown narrowed his eyes slightly, and the two walked into the bedroom and closed the door.

Del's face became serious, and the smile just now was completely gone:

"It's not peaceful recently. There have been some sacrifices to evil gods. Some ordinary people have become minions of evil gods and started hunting normal people."

In just two sentences, there is a lot of information.

"Tell me in detail!" Crown's face became solemn. He didn't know whether these ordinary people were contaminated and mutated or were bewitched.

Now he is very sensitive to the word "evil god". He has been contaminated by a stone statue of the evil god. If the Golden Light Curse was not on the verge of upgrading, he would not be able to persist.

He always thought that time was on his side, but he didn't realize his weakness until misfortune came.

"It's not that they are possessed by evil spirits. Those ordinary people seem to have their minds controlled. They will sleepwalk at night. First, they brutally kill their family members, draw evil magic circles with blood, and offer flesh and blood as sacrifices. Finally, they will mutate. Turn into a deformed monster that hunts all living creatures.”

"How do you know such details?"

Crown didn't believe that the patrol team had such strong capabilities and could investigate such detailed information.

"Team Liya, do you remember that Lorraine found out? At that time, we cooperated with their team in the investigation. Later, I asked about the situation privately."

This makes sense. Crown nodded slightly and asked:

"Where did these sacrifices to evil gods take place?"

He recalled what he had seen in Yorktown, where a small amount of gray fog sneaked into residents' homes at night, and he suspected something was wrong at that time.

"The few I've been exposed to have happened in settlements on the edge of urban areas."

Del recalled and continued: "Whenever there is a problem in a settlement, there must be many sacrifices."

Crown confirmed his guess that the higher-ups were planning some big move, but unfortunately he didn't have the right to know.

After thinking for a moment, he gave a piece of advice: "Be careful about your own safety, and try not to be on the front line if something happens." Del grinned and said: "I also want to see Janice grow up and she will definitely protect herself.

Sir, I have a good thing to tell you. Janice was found to have the talent of a priest and will be sent to the church's base for training in a few days. "

"It's indeed a good thing, congratulations."

Crown smiled and found a large number of bullets engraved with golden light talismans from the room and handed them to Del:

"Give it to you. It may be useful in dealing with evil spirits."

The Flame Warrior has no means to deal with evil spirits. These bullets can help the opponent cause damage to evil spirits.

He was not worried that the talisman patterns on the bullet would be cracked. Without the Sunfire Liquid, these patterns would have no meaning at all.

"Thank you, sir." Del took it cheerfully.

"After I leave tomorrow, I will still live in the Holy Fire Cathedral. If you have anything, you can send me a message from Tony or Jason. They are training in the church."

Crown thought for a while and continued: "If you have time, help me pay attention to something. It is a white stone that feels very cold to the touch. If you put it under the sun, you can see the growth around the stone. There is white fog.”

Taiyin Thunder Seal requires the use of cold jade, and he needs to prepare the materials now.

After the Golden Light Curse advanced, he had too many things to do, including refining the Sun Essence and Moonlight, and testing how far his original abilities had been improved, so that he could more accurately control his attacks during combat.

It all takes time, but now he has more urgent things to do, so he can only take his time and get the flame breath to the third level first before he can get serious.

"One more thing. Tomorrow evening Qiaxi from the blacksmith shop will send a batch of fine iron ingots. You accept it and tell him that there is no need to send any more for the time being."

Del agreed one by one.

At night, Crown breathed fire for half the night and didn't fall asleep until midnight.

More than 40 points of proficiency were added, and the Giant Bear Breathing Technique and Rock Breathing Technique also increased the proficiency level by four to five points.

. . . .

The next day, Crown got up at five o'clock. After meditating on the golden light spell for two hours, he left his residence and went to the Holy Fire Cathedral. He went straight to Flanders' office where he handled academic affairs.

"Dong, dong", he knocked on the door gently.

The door is made of black walnut, with a beautiful large parabolic pattern on the chord section. The red copper door handle is engraved with flame cloud patterns, and a round holy emblem as big as a bowl is inlaid on the door.

"Please come in!" A kind voice came from inside.

Flanders was annotating documents with a pen. When he saw the person coming, he leaned his whole body on the large high-backed chair: "Why are you here? Why don't you go to work in the forging workshop?"

"Sir, I would like to stay at the church tonight so that I can save time and reduce the time wasted on commuting to and from get off work."

‘Boss, I want to work overtime and I don’t need to pay overtime pay. ’

Flender's expression was like that of a capitalist who heard an employee's unreasonable request. He didn't speak and just looked at it suspiciously.

Crown laughed a few times: "I don't have many friends. I only have a few people such as Nick and Jason. They are all working hard to advance to the third level. If I can't keep up with my friends, I won't be able to get along with each other in the future. .”

People live in invisible circles, and only those of the same class can truly play together.

This is especially obvious in the extraordinary world. Among other things, if he didn't have second-level strength, Jason would not take the initiative to deal with him.

"Do you want to receive special training with them and participate in the next mission?"

"No, no," Crown waved his hands quickly.

"I just need to continue to stay in the forging workshop. After completing the prescribed tasks, I can also make time to practice breathing techniques.

If you have board and lodging at the church, you can save a lot of time. "

Now he just wants to reach the third level of transcendence quickly. He can't get more firepower potions by receiving special training. He can only get rewards by killing more monsters in the mission.

If you stay in the forge, you can get more auxiliary potions with his abilities.

Flanders nodded: "The accommodation conditions here are very average. If you insist, that's up to you. You can go to the logistics office later and let them arrange a room for you."

You just have to worry about eating two meals per person.

The archbishop leaned down and continued to review the documents.

Realizing that the other party had not left, he couldn't help but raise his head in confusion: "What else is going on?"

"Sir, didn't Yorktown's mission say that I would be given rewards? Convert them all into fire potions!"

Kroun stated his main purpose. Judging from his experience in taking the blood-boiling potion, the auxiliary potion can speed up the practice by 40%-50%.

"I forgot about this."

Flanders smiled softly. He took out a piece of white paper, wrote a short paragraph, and then stamped his seal.

"Goodbye, Your Excellency."

Crown took the page with both hands and left happily.

Although I have only been to the logistics office once, the route has been imprinted in my heart.

Geography skills also have the function of fine drawing. The roads he has traveled have already been stamped and stored, so he no longer has to worry about getting lost.

When he arrived at the logistics office, Crown handed in the archbishop's approval slip and was warmly received by the staff.

Without any difficulty, he received his reward and last month's supplies.

Forty-eight fire potions, four ogre strength potions, several physical potions and energy potions.

A fire potion is effective for two hours. If he saves a little, he can use the auxiliary potion every day this month, which should be much better than the treatment of most second-level extraordinary people.

This is what he paid for with his life.

"This parishioner, is there anything else I can help you with?"

Abel Maguire showed a sincere smile from the bottom of his heart. The person who could get the approval slip from the red archbishop and get so many firepower potions at once would not be an ordinary person.

Fire potions are strictly controlled potions, and the number an ordinary bishop can use per month is only twenty.

This person is so young and a new face. If you build a good relationship with him, he might come in handy.

Crown said "hmm" and said, "Please help me arrange a room. I need to stay in the church recently."

He has made up his mind not to go out and wander around until he reaches the third level of transcendence.

Even if he advances into a flame warrior, he is also prepared to upgrade his various combat skills.

"No problem, please come with me," Abel agreed readily.

There were several bishop-level guest rooms that were vacant all year round, so he decided to arrange one directly.

Since you want to give a favor, just give it a big one. You don’t need to spend any money anyway.
