Slime Immortal

3. Stoneborn Bloodline: Can actively stimulate bloodline and become immune to petrification effects.

Note: "My bloodline grants me immunity from the curse, and I choose to embrace it—forging poison into a crown, the banshee's gaze into a crest. Wherever the gargoyle kneels, that is my burial ground."

—Declaration of Castor Obsidian, the fourth-generation Stoneborn Grand Duke

Stoneborn bloodline.

He really withdrew the money.

In other words, petrification is indeed a curse.

Arno does have a special bloodline called Stoneborn.

It's just that the blood of the Stoneborn descendants is weak and they can't resist the petrifying gaze, so they gradually turn into stone sculptures because of the curse.

Only descendants of the Stoneborn, like Arno, who have fully awakened their Stoneborn bloodline, are immune to petrification.

As for the fact that Arno possesses such a miraculous bloodline, is it too exaggerated?

Chen Yu thought that if Arno had not lied, if he had not been petrified, he would have successfully passed the knight training and become a formal knight.

In fact, he is a very outstanding descendant of the nobility. Because of petrification, he had to completely abandon his original dream of being a knight and come to the rural place like Iron Boots Town to make a living.

He also roughly understood why the Stoneborn bloodline was gradually degenerating.

This thing actually requires spiritual energy to awaken, unless an alchemist really accidentally creates an alchemical potion that gathers spiritual energy.

Otherwise, it would be another matter whether the Stone Clan bloodline could be maintained, let alone awakened.

Moreover, if such a potion really existed, the accompanying spiritual energy would probably be just one of the insignificant effects, and such a potion would certainly be very expensive.

If you don’t degenerate with this thing that eats up gold coins, who will?

"Boss, I think I'm okay..."

Chen Yu didn't speak for a long time, which diluted Arno's inner joy a lot, and some worry appeared on his face.

"It's all right. I'm fine. Absolutely fine."

Chen Yu told Arno about the effects of the Stone Clan bloodline, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Lord Bran flew over and pecked his hard head, making a clanging sound, which he found novel.

"This Earl has seen many stone men, and even stared into the eyes of the gargoyles deep in the castle, but I have never seen a stone man as strange as you."

Arno laughed dryly: "Your Excellency the Count is joking."

"Would you like to test your petrified defense?"

Chen Yu was eager to try it.

"How do I try..."

Arno suddenly felt as if he had become a popular toy, being stared at by two pairs of curious eyes.

Then he was attacked by a stinging bee.

Fortunately, the stinger only made a clanging sound when it hit the petrified part, and did not cause any harm to him.

Before he could breathe a sigh of relief, the stone sword controlled by Chen Yu flew over, and with another "clang" sound, the stone sword was shaken away.

"This defense is good."

Chen Yu was satisfied.

As for why not use archery.

If the rider dies, who will deliver food and express for him in the future?

"Hahaha! This is fun!"

"Your Majesty, if you cut it open, can you glue it back together?"

"What if I grind it into powder and then shape it back..."

Seeing that the topic was about to develop in a terrifying direction, Arno quickly changed the subject and said, "Boss, I'm worried that those rats from Rusty Key will come looking for me again, or even my family..."

"That's easy. I need you to go to the ruins camp of the outpost yourself."

"The territory of those thieves who removed the rust key?!"

Arno felt his throat go dry.

He personally sent himself into the enemy base... He was afraid that those adventurers who only cared about money would fight over his head and send it to the Rusty Key Guild.

Lord Bran flapped his wings against his head and laughed.

"Ha! Stone Knight, your courage doesn't match your body's hardness."

"Ahem... His Excellency the Earl is right."

"Boss, just give me your orders."

In his arms, the evil slime's mind was mumbling with conspiracies and schemes.

"You start this way... then that way... and finally lead them into the dungeon..."

Chapter 76: Become a Druid from Today

Arno left.

I will pack my luggage this morning and set off for the outpost ruins camp with my little slime in the afternoon.

The Stoneborn nobles are just more resilient, but when they encounter a group of desperadoes who only care about the bounty, they have to run away.

If he doesn't keep an eye on it, not only Arno himself, but even his underwear will be left there.

Only after Arno's figure completely disappeared did Chen Yu jump back to the castle.

Strangely, the only sound in the castle now was the buzzing of the stinging bees. He was still wondering why Earl Bran's noisy voice suddenly disappeared, when he saw it standing on the mouth of the pottery jar, drooling at his precious "spiritual stone".

Ok……

Slime Suspicion.jpg

This guy... is highly suspected of embezzlement.

This amount of gravel crystals may not seem like much, but they were all picked up by Sergash with great effort and are very precious.

He would feel sad if one was missing.

He quickly drove Earl Bran away, picked up the clay pot and put it on his head and ran away, hiding the clay pot in the slime nest.

When he came out, Lord Bran was turning over the dirt with his claws as if nothing had happened, but his little eyes were still staring at the nest.

There really is a thief in the house.

He is also a powerful earl in the Slime Kingdom.

Chen Yu muttered to himself, and after a moment's thought, he suddenly came up with a good idea.

"My dear Count, would you like more of this sparkling stuff?"

Lord Bran came back to his senses, raised his head proudly, and coughed lightly.

"Nonsense, why would this Earl be interested in these things?"

"However, if Your Majesty wishes to give it to this Earl, I can accept it with reluctance."

Chen Yu felt that his plan had succeeded.

"If you want these shiny stones, exchange them with the gray gravel crystals from the riverbank. Two gray gravel crystals for... no, three for..."

"Ten! Ten grey gravel crystals for one spirit stone. How's that? Pretty good deal, right?"

"Is this true?!"

Lord Bran's shrill voice rose several degrees. After realizing that he had lost his composure, he quickly concealed his joy and hummed:

"Since His Majesty needs those gray things, as a minister, this earl naturally has to make some contribution to the kingdom. Of course, this is definitely not for any spirit stones."

"Your Majesty, I think the weather is nice today, so I'm going out for a walk. I won't be back for lunch..."

Before it could finish its words, it flew towards the river bank impatiently.

"Very good, very motivated."

Chen Yu nodded with satisfaction.

He had already begun to imagine the scene of the slime cave being filled with spirit stones...

That must be wonderful.

Now he has two split entities, one is lurking in the Slime Lair in the dungeon, and the other is building an outpost in the western territory.

So the construction of the fortress had to be done by him personally.

However, he hadn't worked for half a day when he was disturbed by the panel prompt.
