Chapter 16: Spiritualists
"Of course, that's what I'm here for. ”
For Elf, who asked him the same question many times, Sean didn't hesitate too much at the moment, and replied with a resolute face.
"Well, that's good, I'll concoct a potion for you, a potion of the path of death. With that, Elf turned to look at Eve, who was standing stupidly.
"Captain, you see I'm useless, I don't have a formula. ”
Looking at Eve, who was spreading her hands and looking helpless, Elf's calm face couldn't help but swell with anger, and then suppressed her emotions and said gently: "I just want you to help me find potion materials." ”
"You said it earlier, if you didn't say it, how do I know..."Eve looked at Elf with a disgusted expression, muttered quietly, and then disappeared in front of the two, and soon her crisp voice came out of the container again: "Captain, did you forget to tell me what materials you need..."
“...”
Elf's chest rose and fell for a while, and after taking a deep breath, he gradually became more and more congenial, and said: "I'm sorry, Miss Eve, I need 10 milliliters of dead body fluids now, 5 milligrams of air-dried horned frog skin, 3 gray spider legs and one of its venom glands, 1 soul fruit..."
Sean, who had been listening enthusiastically on the sidelines, noticed that one strange word after another came out of Elf's mouth, and the corners of his mouth began to tremble, because this thing seemed to sound more weird than the recipe of the life pathway, after all, it was not the skin of some creature or the biological bodily fluids that were disgusting to listen to.
"Don't worry, Sean, although I'm also a first-time blender, there shouldn't be any major problems, don't worry. Perhaps Elf noticed that Sean's face was a little ugly, and he opened his mouth to comfort him.
Don't worry, the first time, should, rest assured?
Sean's heart trembled again at the several words that appeared in Elf's sentence, maybe it would be better for him not to speak, and now he could only pray that Elf would not say anything terrifying later.
Elf didn't react much when he saw that Sean didn't react much except for his ugly face, so he smiled and took the materials from Eve's hand to the test bench, and began to mix potions for Sean.
"Captain, aren't you a little happy?" Sean, who was still uneasy, asked in a low voice to Eve, who kept scanning the container.
"Of course, the captain likes to try new things. Eve said, her eyes rolling to Sean with a strange smile, "For example, the shit-like coffee in the captain's office was made by himself, so I'll save your unlucky sir, don't worry, you see, I'm not helping you find medicine?"
Hearing this, Sean couldn't help but recall that Elf, who had been recommending coffee to himself in the office before, looked at him who was busy on the test bench, with his side face slightly upturned, and instantly realized the unreliability of this place again.
Judging from the three people Sean has come into contact with since entering the door, there are already two people who are abnormal, and the remaining strong man is still in a situation that he is not familiar with.
"Is it too late for me to quit?"
As soon as Sean's words fell, he found Eve, who kept giving him a look, and before he could react, a gentle voice came into his ears.
"Exit, where is Mr. Sean going?"
It was obviously a very ordinary inquiry, and he used a very gentle voice, but a chill appeared in Sean's heart, and he turned his head to look at Elf who was holding a black smoky glass test tube in his hand, pulled a stiff smile on his face, and hurriedly waved his hand and said: "No, no, you heard it wrong, captain, I... I mean, push this container... Push it out a little. ”
Elf looked at Sean's clumsy acting skills and didn't break it, but shook the still boiling potion and said: "The potion is ready, ask for the last time, Mr. Sean, once you finish taking the potion, there is no chance to start over, so are you really ready?"
"Of course. After speaking, Sean took the potion from Elf's hand and asked, "Drink it directly?"
"Yes, before it cools down. ”
Sean stared at the dark black potion, took a deep breath, and poured it into his throat, not at all as hot as a liquid in a boiling state, but with a hint of coolness, and the taste was generally not bad, a bit like apple juice with milk.
Sean, who slowly closed his eyes and felt the changes in his body, suddenly heard Elf's gentle voice sound again: "Sean, remember not to try to listen to those voices. ”
"Voice?"
Hearing this, Sean raised his vigilance, and sure enough, not long after, a sound like thousands of people whispering in his ears sounded, vaguely and unintelligibly unable to hear what was being said, but it made people involuntarily want to sink their minds to listen.
Suddenly, Sean, who was listening to the voice, felt a wave of irritability in his heart, especially the two figures around him shrouded in darkness and the other emitting green light, which made him suddenly have an inexplicable desire to attack.
"Calm down. ”
Sean, who was about to be dominated by this desire, heard a gentle voice with a hint of majesty, which sounded in his ears through thousands of whispers, dispelling the irritability and inexplicable desire to attack in his mind.
After sobering up in an instant, he felt a chill in his back, and just a little curiosity almost put himself in a so-called out of control state, which frightened him to directly restrain his mind, and no longer dared to be distracted to listen to those whispers, and felt the changes in his body with all his heart.
After a while, Sean, who calmed down, obviously felt that his physical fitness had improved, his muscle strength and even his body coordination had improved, and at the same time, he could feel that there were many crippled creatures around him, like roaring, curious, and indifferent staring at his gaze.
Sean, who noticed that the changes in his body had stopped, couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, opened his eyes that had been closed at some point, and was about to thank Elf when he suddenly found that there was no captain in front of him, only a black horse with a single horn, red eyes, and black flames under his feet, which was a nightmare.
Sean, who gasped for air, subconsciously retreated, leaning on the container, and then something even more frightening happened, because he touched a smooth and still wriggling thing, and at the same time, a snake with brown scales was entwined, and a woman with long black hair, tear moles at the corners of her eyes, and a charming face appeared directly in front of him and smiled lightly at him.
The woman's golden eyes revealed Sean's increasingly frightened look, as he found that the female head smiling at him was not a young and beautiful lady, but the head of a brown snake wrapped around him—a human-faced snake.
"Ahh
Before waiting for the woman, or the strange snake's next move, Sean only felt a tingling sensation in his head, accompanied by a feeling of fatigue that had not rested for several days and nights, and couldn't help but snort.
I don't know how long it took, Sean, who felt the pain fade, opened his eyes in a daze, this time he didn't look at any terrifying scenes, only the two of them who kept laughing.
In the end, Elf, who was still the captain, was the first to return to normal, and said to Sean: "Congratulations, Sean, now you are a spirit disciple. ”
Spiritualists?
Sean, who should have been happy when he heard these two words, couldn't help but glared at Elf and said dissatisfiedly: "Captain, are you scaring me again?"
"Again, no, no, Mr. Sean misunderstood, this time it's not me, you should ask yourself?" said Elf as he looked at Sean and pointed to his head.
The head?
Hearing what Elf meant, Sean stopped delving into what it meant that this time was not his problem, and began to close his eyes again, feeling the knowledge that suddenly surged out of his brain.
The path of death, the first order, the spirit disciple.
Has strong night vision.
Can cast a small number of debuff spells.
Gather your magic and open your eyes to discover some of the creatures in the spirit world.
Through the arrangement of ritual magic, a small number of weak or remnant spirits can be found and driven.
Weakness is restrained by the solar pathway and hates light.
Sean, who sorted out the information in his mind, understood what happened before, the situation just now was because he was not familiar with magic, and he involuntarily unfolded his spiritual vision, and the pain in the back was just a manifestation of the exhaustion of magic power.
However, Sean still didn't show an apologetic expression to Elf, after all, he had just learned that an unscrupulous captain was intimidating the actions of ordinary people.
"Understood, Mr. Sean?" Elf said without the slightest embarrassment, still greeting with kindness.
"Basically understood, do you have any assignments now?"
"Mission?" Elf said strangely to the positive Sean, "Go back and rest, we will notify you if there is a mission." ”
"I'm not here for me?"
"Of course, do your job well, we're just a part-time job here. ”
