Chapter 787: Demon Hunter Potion Detoxification and Situation Analysis

"Your Majesty, Hemodin and the others said there was a minor problem, which will probably need debugging." Du Valon climbed up the steps of the tower.

"how long?"

"A quarter of an hour at most."

"Okay, let's wait a little longer."

The cold wind blew the dead grass across his ankles. Standing on the 10-meter-high wooden tower, Horn picked up a withered blade of grass from the railing.

Time flies so fast. It seems like in just a blink of an eye, it is already December, and we have come from the middle of 12 to the end of 1444.

As December approached, everything became colder and frost began to form on the grass.

The surface of the Ibe River in the distance has finally entered the dry season of winter.

If it weren't for the traces left on the river bank, no one would have thought that a flood had occurred three months ago.

Since the flood control was completely completed half a month ago, the black fertile soil of Upper River County, which had been soaked for three months, has finally been exposed.

On the one hand, next year's spring plowing will not be delayed, and on the other hand, it means that Horn will have a lot more soldiers and construction workers.

Horn still remembers the conversation he had with old Mr. Senius that day.

"…The gates of the flood discharge channel are linked by clockwork gears. They are currently operating well, but that doesn't mean all problems have been solved…"

"…The Innocent Dam has little impact on the lower reaches of the Nauan River, but its impact on the Thousand River Valley area is too great…"

"...The Thousand River Valley itself has many mountains and rivers. The rainfall this year is not abundant, so the flood can be stopped. If a storm comes someday, the canal may not be enough..."

According to Senius's opinion, the sooner the Innocent Dam is built, the better.

But when will we be able to counterattack?
I'm afraid we'll have to wait until early spring, but the current situation at Xia Lucheng is not optimistic.

The siege lasted for two full months, and the Leia people made little progress, but almost all the outposts outside Xialu City were cleared.

In Luwa Township, the two sides were engaged in a tug-of-war.

Judging from the battle line, the Leia people were fighting towards Lvwa Township.

Although the mountain knights had the advantages of terrain and logistics, they could not withstand the large number of Leia people, and there were also assaults by the Imperial Order Company.

If it weren’t for the Thousand River Valley War, which had killed Prince Kongdai, Leia’s best cavalry commander, the battle line in Lvwa Township would have been even uglier.

For some reason, up to now, King Jinigis has not taken any action after Lavle brazenly invaded the Thousand River Valley.

He first sent the remaining dozen or twenty imperial order companies to garrison in the border areas, and then began to move to the Holy See City in the Golden Horn.

According to the information handed over by the Franks, King Leia should lead the army in person before November.

Horn is ready, King Gigi, where are you?

Some cardinals believed that King Genegis was distracted by trivial matters, just like the two funny guys during the mountain march.

But some cardinals believed that there must be something fishy about this matter.

"Mr. Wan Piao, the weather is cold, you should put on your cloak." Du Valon put a woolen cloak on Horn.

The wizards had heated their cloaks in advance to keep out the cold wind, and the inside of the cloaks was warmer than a stove.

Horn turned around and looked at Duvalon, who was almost as tall as himself. He reached out and touched his head: "You have grown up."

Compared to the mischievous boy he was during the Gulag, Horn is almost unrecognizable.

His skinny arms were built up with strong muscles, and his lips were covered with a layer of fine hair.

After the establishment of Fort Joan of Arc, the young saints of the Boys' Army gradually withdrew from the political stage.

The younger ones were retrained, the older ones entered the Cheka, and the specific affairs were still left to professionals to manage.

Although Du Valon was the leader of the Night's Watch, specific affairs were still handled by Chap, one of the forty heads of the original uprising.

They also have a large number of retired demon hunters and night guards who help them maintain public security.

Demon Hunters and Night Watchmen may not be good at fighting, but they are quite experienced in maintaining public security.

This kind of experience is not something that Horn can teach you with just a little guidance or a book. Therefore, the term "boy army" has gradually faded away over time, replaced by "son of the pope" or "loyal heir".

Within the Holy Alliance government, this term has subtly become a term for a political faction.

It refers specifically to those "absolute royalists", especially the clever orphans of the Flood War and the children of soldiers who died in the war.

Its power is mainly distributed among the Cheka, the gendarmerie and the night watchmen.

As the saying goes, there are no factions in the party, and there are all kinds of strange things.

As long as it is not a vicious party dispute, Horn will not try to stop it.

Seeing that the new weapon experiment in the distance had not yet begun, Horn pulled Duvalon aside to chat.

"How far has the research on the detoxification of the demon hunter potion progressed?"

Duvalon adjusted his hair and said, "Deputy Night Watch Chief Chap said that a double-blind experiment is being conducted."

"Are the guys from the Priory of the Scales easy to get along with?"

"Uh..." Du Valon showed an expression that was difficult to judge, "He is very dedicated to his work and often works overtime in the laboratory.

I went to see it several times and it was always brightly lit all night.

They are just weird, always talking nonsense, saying that the Immortal Lord Lilith and the Holy Lord Myrcella are sisters.

There are also strange remarks such as blood magic is holy magic, and holy magic is divine magic.

If this had happened in the past when there was the Inquisition, they would have been arrested long ago.

Their methods are very radical, and they often divine without any clues. Often someone's eyes and ears spurt blood, but they appear as if nothing happened in two days..."

Apparently, Du Valon had accumulated a lot of complaints during his collaboration with the Priory of the Balance, and they were endless.

"You... should tolerate each other for the sake of the country." Horn was helpless. After all, apart from the Sicheng Hermitage, no other secret party had experience in witcher potions.

The Priory of the Scales has been dissecting demon hunters and studying divine arts and blood magic for years, and they are experts in this area.

Horn offered a scientific research bounty for "Demon Hunter Potion to Detoxify" to Long Beach City, and only the Sicheng Hermitage dared to accept it.

When wizards gradually walked out of the mountains and forests and entered the civilized world, the problem of wizard crime followed.

The Holy See and Fort Jeanne are okay, but in a transportation hub like Rapid City with a huge flow of people, the crimes committed by the Wizarding Secret Party are very serious.

Horn cannot expect all secret parties to be as high-quality as the Ruoan Party and the Witch Council.

Especially last year's anti-gang operation caused a large number of criminal secret party remnants to flee to Qianhe Valley.

Considering the future, once the Hexophilus vaccine is promoted, it will inevitably lead to large-scale magical crime problems.

In order to suppress these people, one must have a sufficient team of demon hunters of his own.

So the first thing is to reduce the high mortality rate of demon hunters when they are promoted.

When it comes to this matter, the Sicheng Order is the best.

Judging from the intelligence we got some time ago, this group of lunatics significantly reduced the toxicity in just half a year.

Although the performance of the potion itself was reduced, in Horn's opinion, many of the properties of the Demon Hunter Promotion Potion itself were quite abnormal.

Especially the Snake School, which actually requires the human body to secrete toxins itself.

There is also the Lion School, which requires tall and strong people with natural supernatural powers, but its universality is too poor.

At present, Horn only requires the in-depth research of the Wolf and Hawk potions. According to the current progress, it is expected to be completed next year.

By then, the Night Watchmen will drink the Wolf Potion, the Cheka will drink the Hawk Potion, and everyone will have a bright future.

After chatting with Du Valon for a while about the selection of potions and the current internal movements of the Pope's sons, a servant came to report.

"Your Majesty, the Hemordine Mechanic Priest said that the grenade launcher is ready."
