Chapter 42: The Mystery of Blood
"Now, so fast?" Chalkin was stunned.
Old Tinny smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's not that simple, it's just a priori blood test." ”
"Yours, like Edward Howell, are extraordinary traits of their own mutations. ”
Brushing his beard, Old Tinny showed a fanatical expression of curiosity, and said with a serious and fascinating expression: "It's a pity that I'm just a mystical teacher, and I can't spy on more mysterious knowledge. Otherwise, I might even be able to study your extraordinary abilities thoroughly, and maybe create a new sequence. ”
"At that time, the extraordinary beings in this world will no longer get out of control so often. And that's a good thing!"
Chalkin knew that Edward Howell, the silver gun, was a naturally mutated extraordinary.
He only has one ability, and there is no corresponding sequence potion to upgrade him.
However, judging by previous fights, it is clear that Edward Howell was not a low-order extraordinary.
On the contrary, the flashy offensive art of a meteor shower makes this gunman look extremely dazzling in battle.
"Edward Howell, you helped him expand his spiritual space?" asked Chalkin.
Old Tinny said with some regret, "Yes, I did help him expand the extraordinary characteristics, but unfortunately it wasn't perfect.
"He possessed the spirituality that Sequence Eight should have, and endured the loss of control and madness that the same sequence should endure, but he did not give birth to new extraordinary abilities, and did not form a new sequence path. ”
Hearing Old Tiny's words, Chalkin suddenly said in awe: "You are too humble, you are a truly respectable arcane master, and the prestige of the silver spear Edward Howell will not be underestimated by anyone. ”
When he said this, he did do so from the bottom of his heart.
At the same time, he secretly said in his heart: "Howell can't increase his extraordinary strength because he doesn't have the power to devour." And I, who have gluttonous authority, do not have this defect. ”
Chalkin's compliment made old Tinny smile slightly, and he didn't continue to say more, but turned around and said, "Let's go, let me analyze your blood." ”
Following Old Tinny towards his institute, the two of them soon came to a pitch-black iron door.
Grabbing the pen that glowed faintly, Old Tinny drew a occult symbol in the air that symbolized the union of the door and the eye, and the iron door slowly opened.
Obviously, this is another ritual magic, a magic door lock.
"The alchemy room, where I prepare potions and do experiments. Old Tinny looked back and said with a smile.
Following Old Tini and entering the alchemy room, Chalkin looked curious about his surroundings.
Inside, as in the Chanis Gate, there is no sound of the train shaking or the rumbling of the tracks, as if you are in another world.
The door opened, and in the dim light in the distance, there were lattices on display, and to his surprise, there were not many occult books here, more transparent jars, blood, specimens of magical beasts, and several huge tables.
On the table, Chalkin saw beakers, droppers, test tubes, alcohol lamps, and some fluorescent liquids, small weights that Anse said......
In short, it's more like a Harry Potter magic lab, but more cluttered.
Chalkin was very interested in these occult things.
Almost immediately, he saw a half-human-tall glassware soaked in a palm-sized 'Western drakemon' with bat wings and an oval hammer tail!
As a former zoologist, Chalkin was immediately drawn to this particular specimen.
"Flying hammer fire extinguishing dragon, gadgets are very interesting, don't be deceived by its little man, this guy's tail is highly poisonous, and it is very powerful, the blow of its tail can knock a monkey on a tree to death. Hanging his clothes on the hanger, Old Tinny had changed into the black robe he had used for his experiments, and introduced the specimens to Chalkin.
"It has a rumen in its belly, where food is soaked and decomposed by vaporized digestive juices, and stored in a hive-like gas chamber under the evaporation of the bezoar at high temperatures. ”
Seeing that Chalkin was quite interested in the small dragon beast specimen, he came over and picked up a skull with great interest and said:
"You see, this little guy has two rows of teeth, the front is responsible for biting the teeth, and the second row of teeth acts as a flint and steel counterpart, and when in danger, he will squeeze out the collected gases like a squid, and the sparks generated by the friction of the teeth will spew flames, which is quite deadly for birds to their wings. ”
"However, it is not a mystical creature, it has no extraordinary properties, but it is just a product of nature's evolution like electric eels, poisonous snakes, squid, etc. ”
Hearing Old Tiny's introduction, Chalkin couldn't help but think of the shrimp near the crater of the submarine volcano, and the fireflies flying at night.
"Stick out your finger. ”
While Chalkin was observing the various specimens, Old Tinny had already taken out a silver needle and roasted it on an alcohol lamp, and said to Charkin.
As the pain of the pinprick came, the blood was pinched by Old Tinny's pricked finger and squeezed a few drops into a small beaker.
Chalkin was a little curious, he knew that in his world, humans could really divide blood types in 1909, discovered by the Austrian physician and chemist Ranstein, not only that, but in addition to humans, monkeys, elephants, dogs and other animals also have blood types.
It can be said that blood is mysterious and contains a lot of information.
"The test method of extraordinary properties is very cumbersome, and the reagent must be strictly prepared every time it is used, and this potion reagent is quite unstable and cannot be preserved. As he spoke, Old Tinny was already mixing several mysterious liquids on the table with Chalkin's blood.
With a slight shaking, the blood quickly mixed with the potion reagent and turned a diluted red, and Old Tinny picked up a vial or three of the powder, which looked like chili peppers, salt, and pepper, and quickly sprinkled them into the water.
As the powder entered the cup, the diluted potion reagent immediately became extremely viscous, and its color began to change from red to purple to deep black.
Old Tiny's face gradually became serious, the corners of his mouth moved, and the inaudible spell of Ancient Hermis seemed to communicate some kind of mystery in heaven and earth, and the beaker in his hand suddenly vibrate, and the black liquid began to glow golden, like the sun hidden in a thundercloud.
At some point, his eyes had turned a dark blue color, as if he wanted to use these discerning eyes to spy on the extraordinary mysteries contained in Chargin's blood.
The golden light was shining, the black liquid began to shrink, and a few bubbles appeared in the beaker, as if the temperature of the reagent was gradually rising.
"Out of control, dark, divinity, pure...... What a remarkable paradoxical character?!!," exclaimed Old Tinny.
As Old Tiny's spell was replaced by an exclamation, he quickly covered his eyes, two lines of blood oozing from the corners of his eyes.
"Don't spy on God!" Suddenly, Chalkin suddenly jumped out of his heart.
He was afraid of old Tiny, and when he saw something he shouldn't see, his heart was already in his throat.
"Are you alright?"
Without the activation of the spell, the reagent in the beaker gradually calmed down, turning back into a glass of water mixed with a little blood.
Old Tinny made a gesture of ritual magic, and the light shone brightly, healing the injury to his eye.
Looking at Chalkin again, there was only shock left in his eyes, and said to him: "Could this be the power of the bloodline of Long En?
