Pale Emblem

Chapter 135 Investigation

On the empty streets of Water Snake Town, Herman held a big bow and walked slowly. The pale moonlight reflected his long and slanted shadow on the ground. The coldness in his eyes was like the cold light on the blade of a knife. He turned his pointed ears to carefully capture every slight sound.

The houses on both sides of the street are crowded and low-rise, and narrow alleys crisscross each other. Such a cramped and complex environment is not friendly to the archers.

Herman doesn't care at all. He catches prey like a cat, and can also be used as prey by his opponents.

High-level archers sometimes act as bait themselves. The intuitive shooting they master does not require visual aiming. They are good at defeating the enemy's opportunities and are not afraid of ambush.

Just like the current situation, a figure flashed out of the alley behind Herman. The fifth-level archer didn't even look back. He stepped forward and bent down, and a sharp arrow just passed through the back of his head.

While Herman rolled forward, he shot the arrow in his hand from below his side. When he landed on the ground and turned around, he shot three arrows in a row. His movements were smooth and done in one go.

The archer warrior's opponent was not only confident but also very cunning. It only took half a second at most to dodge out of the alley and shoot an arrow, and then immediately retreat into the alley after shooting. He didn't look at the result, and he didn't give Herman a chance to counterattack.

Herman's arrows flew into the alley, with no chance of hitting the opponent directly. But the iron arrows of the feather arrows hit the wall with just the right force and angle. The three arrows were shot in a seemingly disorderly manner in the alley, just blocking the space for a person to dodge.

This is intuitive shooting. A fifth-level archer ignites a drop of secret blood. When his intuition touches his heartstrings, he will know where to shoot and how to shoot to kill his opponent.

Intuitive shooting does not have a 100% hit rate, it just means that it has the greatest chance of hitting.

Herman heard a muffled groan coming from the alley, followed by slightly chaotic footsteps. He immediately ran at full speed. When he was approaching the entrance of the alley, he suddenly jumped into the air. He used his left foot to lend some strength on the wall, and he jumped easily. Go up to the roof, draw the bow and arrow in mid-air, and prepare to deliver a fatal blow to the opponent in the alley.

This fifth-level archer warrior has very rich combat experience. He did not rush into the alley directly, but deliberately exposed the sound of his running footsteps, and then deftly jumped on the roof to occupy a favorable terrain for shooting, which not only prevented the opponent from ambush at the entrance of the alley , and being condescending, catching the other party off guard.

However, what greeted Herman was a ray of sharp sword light, which drew a sad arc from bottom to top, instantly cutting off the big bow in his hand. When the tip of the sword reached its peak, it slashed down again, like a sword in the night sky. There was a flash of lightning, and even the air made a tearing sound along with the blade.

The sword was fierce and violent, like a thunderbolt, and it was about to split Herman into two pieces.

Archers are not only marksmen, but also agile warriors.

Herman remained calm in the face of danger, took half a step back, and held the two fine iron daggers hanging on both sides of his thighs in his hands. When he held the hilt of the sword, the indigo blade of the sword in his right hand turned dark green.

I saw that he was using the sword in his left hand to block the thunderous slashes, while the sword in his right hand was biting his opponent's heart like a poisonous snake.

However, the opponent's fierce and violent sword slashes were as light as a willow stick in the face. Hermann used too much force to block with his horizontal sword, causing his posture to deform. The dagger in his right hand failed to hit the opponent's heart and only stabbed him. abdomen.

The opponent had successfully climbed onto the roof. He raised his hand and stabbed with a straight sword. The blade immediately penetrated the vital part of Herman's chest. Then he stirred up the force and blew out his heart.

Such a serious injury is fatal to a half-elf professional. No matter what level of professional he is, he will definitely die if his heart is broken.

Herman is still a professional, but he is no longer a half-elf.

As an alchemist demon descendant, and with an alchemical snake touch implanted in his body, he could still survive even if his heart was smashed to pieces. The problem is that it takes a while for the fascia and nerves to fully repair the heart, and during this time he will experience temporary weakness.

Victor's pupils changed from green to amber, and his whole body and temperament showed a sense of tyrannical power. He roared angrily and slashed with his sword repeatedly. In an instant, streaks of sharp sword light completely penetrated Herman's body.

The fascial nerves are repaired and repaired, eventually exhausting life energy and no longer able to survive. Hermann could only reluctantly accept the result that he was divided into three pieces.

Victor panted heavily. He finally defeated Herman, who gave up the demon skin, without using mind blast. Of course, he himself paid a high price.

The alchemical demon attaches a paralyzing poison wound to the dagger. Victor was stabbed in the abdomen by him, and the paralysis effect appeared immediately. He had to instantly switch to the elemental affinity state, activate his violent talent, temporarily become immune to the paralysis effect of poisonous injuries, and forcefully break Herman's life energy, killing him on the spot. Behead.

Paralysis and poisonous injuries are also fatal. After Victor releases his ferocity, the poisonous injuries continue to consume 5 points of his life energy before losing their effect. If this were in reality, Victor would lose 5 points of his maximum life energy.

Victor's battle test with Hermann wasn't a loser, but he didn't win pretty either.

This is not bad. Victor had battle tests with six alchemy demons in the Dream Arena. After more than a hundred battles, he lost more than he won.

The archer Herman is particularly powerful. Victor's sparring record with him is 8 losses and 2 wins. This is because he is prohibited from using demon skin.

Facts have proved that after using the demon skin, the alchemical demon's life level reaches at least the fourth level, which is the so-called silver level. It also directly ignites the fire of the soul, and the individual strength is fully exerted.

Not to mention Level 5 Venerable Herman, any one of the Alchemy Demons can crush Victor.

Victor tried all means to no avail, so he simply banned the demon from transforming into a demon-like form, only to regain some confidence. At least if he uses Mind Blast, the Alchemy Demon will lose to him.

This also shows that the demon-like form has good psychic resistance.

Another point is that the autonomous combat of the magic source embedded body cannot be tested. There is no way Victor would lose his sense of self in the Dream Arena.

Victor only hopes that in reality, it is best for the magic source embedded body to never activate autonomous combat.

There is a limit to the life energy stored in the Alchemy Snake Touch, even though it can bond and repair heart damage and broken necks, making the host seem immortal.

But if the enemy can chop off your head and pierce your heart, it is not difficult for him to chop you off a few more times. If you use Alchemy Snake Touch to repair three or five fatal injuries in a row, you will definitely be doomed. Who said that your skills are inferior to others and you can't block the enemy's sword?

Furthermore, Alchemical Snake Touch cannot repair brain damage. If the head is smashed, the alchemist will die.

Victor has deeply realized the importance of his teammates. For example, Herman had just been broken in the heart by him and suffered a brief loss of strength. If a teammate can block the subsequent attack for Herman at this time, he will definitely be able to recover.

The same goes for Victor. Although the advanced alchemy snake touch is powerful, serious injuries such as a broken neck and a broken heart will still cause him to freeze for a moment.

In a moment, the enemy was strong enough to kill him with one last blow.

Victor needs his teammates to cover him, and he can provide cover for his teammates.

The information in the Dream Arena showed that the six alchemical demons absolutely obeyed Victor, the tower master. He had to find out for himself what the truth was, not to mention he still had many questions that needed answers.

The buildings and scenes on the streets of Water Snake Town are rapidly fading, and then disappear without a trace, and the Dreamland Arena returns to its original open space. Victor stayed here long enough, and he chose to escape from his spiritual dream and wake up in reality.

There were gasps and moans between men and women in the darkness of the cave. As soon as Victor woke up, he recognized that it was Rhine and his female companion.

"Sir, the white-haired boy is actually doing something!"

When Harvey saw Victor waking up, he immediately complained to him and teased with a wink: "Those women are monsters now, can he do it?"

"Those monsters that women turned into... are actually quite passable. Hehe, they don't hide it or take it into consideration, just like the Hemo tribe who held a life festival in Braun Town." Maddie smiled obscenely and volunteered: "Sir, Do you want me to touch it and take a look? I feel that the curse given to me by the half-orc bastard has expired, and my condition is better than ever... This is all due to you."

Both McGrady and Harvey were implanted with the Alchemy Snake Touch, their life energy was at full level, and their survivability was greatly improved. Even the cold-hearted curse that plagued McGrady was lifted.

The ace scout of Braun Town is finally back, and he's eager to show off his abilities.

Everyone now believes that the female witcher who transforms into a monster is a security risk, and Maddie's suggestion that investigation is also a reasonable precaution.

Victor was reminded by Maddie and thought of the life sacrifice ceremony held by the Hemo tribe in winter. They follow their natural instincts and reproduce new life to please Mother Earth and receive her blessings.

All the scars and hidden wounds on the female warrior's body disappeared in those days, and her skin was as smooth as silk. In fact, this is just an appearance. The trauma and decay in their souls have also been eliminated, and they feel like they are reborn from the inside out.

Therefore, there are no old people in the rock elves. At the end of their lives, they will either die in battle, die violently, or return to the throne of the Earth Mother with the power of the earth.

Everyone wants to be young and immortal, but no one is willing to dedicate everything to Mother Earth. As a result, the half-elves of the Disa Alliance created the secret ceremony of companionship based on the life sacrifice ceremony.

Doctor Cole and his personal maid in Braun Town know the secret ritual of companionship, and the effect seems to be good.

Victor has no enthusiasm for love between men and women. People in the Adventurer's House say that he is underage, and he has not asked Dr. Cole for knowledge about the secret ritual of companionship.

At present, it seems that White-haired Rhine intends to use the secret ritual of companionship to help the three female witchers return to normal.

If the Secret Art of Companion is useful to demons, its value may be far beyond Victor's imagination.

He was now also interested in the Witcher's Companion Mystery, but there was no need to go out and peep. It is said that there are many types of companion mysteries, but those that are truly useful are very rare, and the key core of the true mysteries cannot be learned just by peeking.

Of course, Victor now has emerald green eyes and is in the water element affinity state, with a gentle but calm temperament. If he had ice blue eyes, he would definitely not be able to suppress his curiosity and run over to find out.

"He just asked you to listen, but didn't ask you to see, so it's better not to disturb them." Victor smiled slightly, rejected the old scout's proposal, and looked around, secretly taking in everyone's expressions.

Rhine and the others made a lot of noise. The female witcher had a soft voice, but Harvey and Maddie were just teasing them out of habit and had no other thoughts. After all, they were old, and even the female warriors of the Hemer tribe had excluded them from the invitation list for the life festival. Naturally, they would not be tempted by women easily. Besides, it's hard to say whether the female witcher is a half-elf or not.

Ruth and Jessica were pure fools, concentrating on eating there. When they were full, they might have sexual feelings, because she was of the right age and had nothing to do with intelligence.

Victor just wonders why they did not restore their normal intelligence level after implanting the alchemical snake touch?

Next was Stephanie, who was kneeling on the ground to feed the two fools. She was neither too old nor too young. She was embarrassed and uncomfortable when she heard the movement, but her eyes were very clear, with a trace of disdain.

Considering that a half-year-old girl has been living in a den of thieves for a long time, it is probably not surprising that she has seen many similar scenes, and her behavior is also normal.

The Deathclaw adventurers on guard outside the camp were different from a thug. They were in their prime, but they seemed extremely indifferent. They neither joked about the secret ritual of the witcher's companion nor seemed to be curious about it.

Deathclaw adventurers behave in line with the characteristics of alchemical creatures, but the alchemical creatures in Dream Arena do not include that thug.

Victor first needs to find out whether the Deathclaw adventurers are alchemical creatures that absolutely obey him, as shown in the Dream Arena?

He also wanted to know why "he" wanted to use an alchemical snake to rescue a professional thug he was not familiar with?

Then start the investigation from the mob... Victor stood up and called to the people on the periphery: "Please come over, I have something to talk to you about."

Change first and then change
