Pale Emblem

Chapter 111 Amazing harvest

The Middletons built two stone chambers with the help of a natural cave.Inside the first stone chamber was a small sturdy tin box.Victor broke it with great effort, revealing the gold and silver jewels inside.

He visually estimated that this batch of gold is worth [-] to [-] gold pagodas, and most of them are high-quality gems that are easy to carry.

Looking at the treasures all over the ground, dazzling, Victor's heart was inevitably disappointed.Dream Arena evolves what the wind element perceives, but some details still need to be observed by Victor himself, such as the text in the book, and the things in the container.

He thought that this small tin box was placed in the most conspicuous position, and there must be something good hidden in it, but he didn't expect that it was just some useless treasure.

Victor then turned his attention to the weapon rack on the side, which displayed short armor-piercing spears, made of high-quality iron, heavy in weight, and the spear tip was a one-foot-long alloy single-bladed blade, which could be used with shields and close To defend against the enemy, it can also be used as a javelin. It is a long-range iron alloy sword. The blade is four fingers wide. The blade is sharp and flashes with a cold blue light. Stupid guy, it also has the function of reverberating and sweeping. If you don't have enough strength, you can't play it... In addition to these, the stone room also stores armor, round shields, spears, curved scimitars, thin stabbing swords, war bows, etc. Waiting for weapons and equipment, Victor even found two complex crossbows.

The weapons and protective gear here are all high-quality, enough to equip 12 warriors, including shield spearmen who can melee and attack from a distance; heavy axemen with amazing destructive power; scimitar scouts who are good at backstab and sneak attacks; Spearman; crossbow archer capable of supporting allies.

This stone room is obviously a supply point set up by the Middleton family in the underground cave, and it is regularly maintained, because there are several large wooden barrels on the other side of the stone room, which are respectively filled with clean fresh water and brewed with bigo. Food and drinks such as liquor, sun-dried melon pieces, cured meat, and salted fish.Although they are properly sealed, they still need to be replaced regularly in damp, cold caves.

Judging by the experience of top chefs, Victor said the Middletons' dried mashed melons had not been stored here for more than 40 days.This shows that they visited the cave [-] days ago and left behind at least a bucket of sun-dried mud melons.

The evolutionary function cannot present organisms that can move autonomously, but the traces of the activity of organisms cannot be missed.Victor carefully surveyed the surrounding environment of the stone room and found an iron chain more than ten meters long. One end was deeply nailed into the rock with an iron drill, and the other end was a collar, the diameter of which was as thick as his waist.

The Middletons kept a beast in the cave to guard his supply point.This beast is huge and hairless, but covered with a layer of scales, and has huge sharp claws, and the ground is deeply scratched by it.

However, the beast has disappeared.

There was a large pool of dark red blood on the ground next to the collar.Victor crouched down and touched the blood stains with his fingers. He was not sure what the beast was, but the traces at the scene indicated that the beast had suffered a terrible attack.Perhaps because it was chained, it tried to fight back, but it didn't work, and was eventually killed by the attacker.In addition, the attacker is much smaller than the beast, otherwise it will leave its own traces, but Victor only found the claw prints of one beast on the rock.

Simply put, a medium-sized attacker killed the subterranean beast kept by the Middletons.What is puzzling is that after the death of the underground beast, the stone house it guarded was not invaded by other underground creatures, and the materials inside were still neatly stacked and well preserved.

There are two possibilities. In addition to the beast guarding the gate, there are also professionals from the Middleton family stationed at this supply point; the second possibility is that the attacker took over the supply point after killing the beast.

Victor favors the second possibility.If the professionals of the Middleton family have the ability to guard the supply point, there is really no need for them to keep a subterranean beast.

From this perspective, the attacker should be an intelligent half-elf?

Does he consciously protect the supplies of the Middletons?

However, the second and first speculations contradict each other. If the attacker was a member of the Middleton family, why did he kill the underground beast he raised?

Victor was very confused, all he knew was that the attackers dragged the beast's body all the way to the area where the Dream Arena failed to evolve.

On the other hand, Victor carefully searched the surrounding area and found no traces of life left by the attackers, such as excrement, embers of bonfires, food residues, etc.The attackers did not even use the supplies stored in the supply point.He is like a ghost who does not need to eat, drink, or heat, silently guarding the stone room opened by the Middleton house. Any underground creatures are afraid of him and dare not approach this area.

In short, underground caves are not safe, and there are many strange underground creatures.But the Middletons already control a site in the underground cave.

Victor hopes there will be more clues in the second artificial stone chamber.

The Middleton family built the second stone room on the top platform of a huge stone pillar, 7 or 8 meters above the ground, and the location was quite hidden.There are many such stone pillars inside the underground cave, and it is really difficult for ordinary explorers to find it.Unfortunately, the perception of the wind element is not limited by the field of vision, and Victor found the location of the stone chamber very accurately.

He called for the airflow to surround his body, stepped on the bulge on the surface of the stone pillar, and quickly and nimbly climbed to the top.A small artificial camp was presented in front of Victor.

Middleton's semi-open buildings are built with stones and wood at home, much like those simple sheds in the drying yard in Water Snake Town, but it covers an area of ​​about 90 square meters, with an ingenious and sturdy structure. Living facilities are also relatively complete.The first floor is the storage room, with dozens of large and small square wooden boxes and round wooden barrels, most of which are moisture-proof wooden barrels specially used to store medicinal materials.

Victor opened all the wooden boxes and barrels without hesitation. He had the joy of opening the blind box, but he didn't find anything that surprised him.

The raw materials of medicinal materials stored in the moisture-proof wooden barrels are dazzling, which is also in line with the identity of the mayor of Middleton as a professional physician.Moreover, the mayor can easily get these medicinal materials from the caravan passing through the border.

Victor knew every raw material of medicinal materials here, but to find out the results of Physician Middleton's refining medicine, these medicinal raw materials alone are not enough.So, Victor went up to the second floor of the big hut, and sure enough, he saw the doctor's refining room, which contained a complete set of refining tools, and on the other side there were tables, chairs and a bed, which seemed to be a place for the doctor to rest.

The stone bed caught Victor's attention. He walked over and found that the stone bed was covered with soft cotton mattresses, and there were very obvious human-shaped traces. The sagging lines of the cotton mattress outlined the enchanting curves of a half-elf woman.She was tall and slender, with a slender waist and big hips, and she lay flat on the bed with her legs bent.There were shocking blood stains on the cotton pads on both sides of her hips.

Victor's mind came to a figure of a graceful woman lying flat on the bed, her lower abdomen was cut open by a knife, blood spilled from the wound, and fell onto the cotton pad along the sides of her body, outlining a plump buttocks picture of.

Her lower abdomen was cut open while she was awake. There were slender and slender fingerprints on the edge of the stone bed. It could be seen that she was in great pain at the time.

The strength of this woman is simply amazing, and her bones and skin are also exceptionally tough, able to resist rocks.Victor asked himself that her strength and physical strength were not as good as hers, unless she switched to the elemental affinity state and gained additional physical attribute bonuses.

In terms of life level alone, she should be third-order, and may even reach fourth-order.

So, why did she appear here, and her lower abdomen was cut open alive without resisting?

With his mind full of questions, Victor turned his attention to the pharmacy room, and finally landed on a row of cabinets against the wall.The owner here probably did not expect that his refining room would be invaded, and the cabinet was not locked.Victor opened the cabinet door and held out a jar.It is crystal clear, carved from a single piece of crystal, filled with viscous and transparent medicinal liquid, and occasionally emits a faint green brilliance.

Some rare medicinal materials have the characteristic of element affinity, and the medicinal materials with water element affinity will emit green brilliance.This is called the light of life in esoteric medicine, which represents the rich vitality of life, and the crystal container can block the natural escape of the water element to the greatest extent.

There is also a row of identical crystal jars in the cabinet, a total of five, and there is a fetus in the crystal jar on the far left? !

Victor's eyes widened, he was certain that the fetus in the crystal container was a humanoid sapient, but not the fetus of a known half-elf, barbarian, half-orc, or alien orc.Although this fetus is not yet formed, curled up into a ball, only the size of Victor's fist, there are strange patterns on its translucent skin, a pair of tender bumps on its forehead, and a small prickly tail behind its buttocks. .

Thinking of the half-elf female traces on the asbestos mattress, Victor finally knew why her lower abdomen was cut open.

Could it be that the physician of the Middleton family used a pregnant half-elf female as a living body of secret medicine, and took the fetus in her womb to prepare a mysterious medicine rich in vitality?

However, ordinary half-elf women cannot have the power to crack rocks.Looking at the alien fetus in the crystal container, Victor thought to himself:
Is she really a Disa half-elf?

Physicians usually have notes when preparing new medicines. Victor opened a row of drawers on the medicine cabinet and finally found a thick stack of animal skin notebooks in the third drawer.Victor was amazed by the contents of the test recorded above, and he spent more than six hours reading the test notes carefully from cover to cover.

With a "snap", Victor closed the animal skin notebook. After reading the contents of the notebook, he was confused and couldn't calm down.

The Occupational Physician's trial notes are not diaries and do not have a coherent story.It is not difficult for Victor to discover a tragic, sinful, bizarre and heinous event full of tragic, sinful, bizarre and heinous events.

The owner of the note is indeed the mayor of Water Snake Town, Middleton, and the mother who he regards as a living secret medicine is his wife, Mrs. Christine.

However, Middleton records Christine as a rare "demonborn half-elf".At least, she is now a "demon descendant" with many life characteristics beyond imagination.

How Christine was transformed from a noble lady into a "demonborn half-elf", Middleton did not describe in the notes.He only paid attention to the value of Christine, and used the fetus of the "demon-born half-elf" as an experiment to prepare a "life-distortion purification potion".

Similar experiments were conducted by Middleton nineteen times.Every time Christine became pregnant, he had to cut open each other's uterus and take out the fetus.Because, Middleton found that if the child in Christine's womb continued to grow, the fetus would drain Christine's vitality completely until death.

Of course, Middleton's mind is on the verge of madness and has no mercy for Christine, using her entirely as a test tool rather than a beloved wife.Otherwise, he wouldn't let Christine get pregnant again and again and suffer the pain of cesarean section again and again.

In the beginning, Middleton himself was the father of the first few fetuses, and was gradually replaced by the family servant. The last father who made the "Life Distortion Purification Potion" succeed was their housekeeper, Ethaniel.

Middleton's cause of death has been made clear, and he deserves to be killed.

Victor must also admit that although Middleton is a paranoid lunatic, his pharmacy experiments are full of incredible imagination, and almost single-handedly opened up a new field of esoteric medicine.

Even Victor was moved by the knowledge contained in it.However, the development of any academic field cannot be achieved overnight. It requires a long period of accumulation and a step-by-step exploration in the footsteps of predecessors.

In his notes, Middleton mentioned several ways in which the secret medicine can change life forms, including absorption, implantation, inoculation, and pollution distortion.Among them, the breeding method and the pollution distortion method have never been heard of by Victor.Middleton also mentioned the "Forge of Life", and the "Life Distortion Purification Potion" is part of the Forge of Life.

This shows that the wonderful knowledge that Middleton has mastered must have a source!

With great curiosity, Victor opened the last drawer, which was still full of animal hide paper scrolls, but carefully wrapped with moisture-proof moth silk cloth.

Victor took out the top animal skin scroll, ripped off the moth silk cloth, and after unfolding the scroll, he almost jumped up with excitement. The text on the animal skin scroll was his most familiar squiggly letters - Disa Alliance The secret script used by the founder, the great sage Marfo!
"...Lisa is missing. I told everyone that the ancient ruins in the dark places are full of unpredictable dangers, and don't be too far from Fei Lumate. However, everyone seems to be more afraid of Fei Lumate? I Rowan, the most loyal captain of the guard, secretly told me that they suspected that Fei Lumate had eaten Lisa. Because Lisa always flattered me and wanted to stay in my tent. She made Fei Lumate unhappy .Firumat found an opportunity to swallow her in one bite, leaving no trace, as if she had disappeared..."

"Hehe, Rowan is talking nonsense. I admit that Feilumart looks a little scary now, but she is still an obedient child... um, a young dragon, maybe a young dragon? She has indeed grown a lot in the past ten years... …In short, Feilumat won’t eat Lisa out of jealousy. Because, I, the pious Malfoy, have already dedicated everything I have to the supreme Lord of Light. After I heard the devil’s babble, I purified myself , to prove my loyalty to His Majesty the Great Pope, and I have no interest in women since then... I was pure in body and mind, and I was inspired by the Lord to travel thousands of miles to this wild land to save you, the sinners of the pantheon. You Doubting my character? Feilumart will not doubt..."

"...June 6279, 6 of the glorious calendar."
