Episode 277 Absorption

"You didn't even manage to kill Donk?" Alec gritted his teeth in anger, and the scars on his face squeezed together like a zigzag centipede. He glared at the Faceless One in front of him, eager to slash the Faceless One with a single sword.

If he can't kill Tang Ke in time, Alec's Turtleback Island will have to be handed over, although Lord Goldbeard will have new arrangements for him, but even if he is given a fleet, it will not be as big as the annual income of Turtleback Island. Let Gubei Island stay on an important shipping route, and you will get a lot of money every year.

The Faceless wears a white mask with black lines drawn on the eyes and mouth of the mask, forming a smiling expression that is unfathomable.

"This assassination operation failed, and our existing manpower has been severely damaged, and if we redeploy manpower from within the organization, it will take at least half a month. If you give us time to deploy men, this assassination can be reduced to half the price. If you reverse the assassination, we will return you double the deposit, which is 30,000 coins. The Faceless One's voice was emotionless, like a machine.

"Lord Goldbeard has set a deadline for me to hand over, and if it is overdue, I will be punished! I'll give you up to ten days! ”

"No, it's too short a time for our people to arrive in such a short time by boat. It seems that it is better to return double your deposit. The Faceless placed a deposit slip from the Goblin Bank on the table.

Alec didn't even look at the deposit, and although he had earned fifteen thousand gold coins without doing anything, he would rather use the money in exchange for Donk's death.

The reward promised by Lord Goldbeard was for a single person, and once Donk died, there was a reason for the handover to be aborted. Although the outside world will definitely suspect that Lord Goldbeard assassinated Donk out of anger, no one will suspect Alec's head, so that's fine.

It is very "rich" to mix with Goldbeard, and Alec has felt it deeply over the years. As a sixth-order swordsman, he obtained the management of Turtle Back Island, and he has made a lot of money over the years, and he has had a good time. However, even if he received so much favor from Goldbeard, in his heart, Goldbeard was just a boss and had no feelings to speak of. So he didn't care about Goldbeard's reputation at all.

Keeping the right to manage Turtle Back Island and keeping your annual income is the most important thing!

"Get out! I'll do it myself! The outside world has told you faceless people that you are gods, and if you want me to see it, that's just it! Alec looked at him with undisguised disdain.

The Faceless One made no defense, nodding his head and slowly retreating backwards.

"Then I wish you all the best, and as an extra reminder, in the letter from the loser, it was said that Donk was very alert and observant. The killing game set up by our people was obviously foolproof, but he still saw through it. While you're not happy with our work, the truth is that we haven't missed a beat in almost three years, and Donk is the first person to break the record. ”

"Foolproof? Don't put gold on your face, if it's all right, Donk's head should be in front of me! ”

"The men we sent can definitely kill Donk, and the reason for the failure must be that there has been a change that exceeds our expectations. However, failure is failure, and no matter how you explain it, it pales in comparison. Before leaving, I wish you all the best again. The Faceless One exited the room.

Alec was left alone in the little dark room, staring hatefully at the empty doorway, the glare of the sunlight outside him as if mocking him. With a flick of his thumb, he ejected the sword from its scabbard with a piercing grinding sound. The body of the sword rippled with bursts of light ripples, which showed that this sword was extraordinary.

"Tang Ke, this time I will personally clean you up, you little fourth-order swordsman, you can't escape my hands!"

…… The goblin almost broke his leg, and it took two days to collect a complete set of alchemy materials, but he got a lot of other materials, but only one colored fish bone was found, and he swore that there was only one on the whole island. If you want to find more colored fishbones, you can only find a way in other ports.

Fortunately, Tang Ke also has only one resurrection spring, and he is not in a hurry to get too many materials.

Norman was an alchemist, and the work of alchemy naturally fell to him. He carefully boiled a few drops of silvery-white elixir, which were indeed mixed with a few thin blue threads, and on the surface, the boiling was successful.

Now it's time to formally absorb it.

Donk found a secret room that night, prepared a large bathtub, and a heated stove. With his money offensive, these were easily ready.

The large room was empty, and in addition to Donk, Norman and Sebastian were also present. Sebastian is a doctor and should be able to help in case something happens. This matter is still quite risky, after all, this is just a record in a book, and no one can guarantee that it is 100% true.

Donk stood at the table, which contained a metal jar and a vial, each containing the Rainbow Fountain and a special potion. He stared for a moment, his expression becoming firm, and reached out to grab the vial, unhooked the lid, and poured the silver-white potion into the Fountain of Resurrection.

As if polluted, the resurrection spring quickly dimmed with colorful light, and the water waves flowing on the surface disappeared, turning into a pool of stagnant water, showing a faint milky white. For a short period of time, the Resurrection Fountain will remain in this state.

Tonk picked up the metal can and walked over to the tub, which was filled with boiling hot water, and he poured the resurrection fountain into it, and the spring plunged headlong into the white billowing heat and disappeared. Donk hurried and quickly stripped naked, leaving only a pair of flat shorts.

Norman patted on the sidelines, saying that the captain had beautiful tattoos and a strong body. Sebastian watched in silence, hugging the medicine box at his side.

Donk didn't bother to answer, and stepped into the tub, the water hot to the pain. In order to turn the resurrection spring into steam as soon as possible, the temperature naturally has to be higher, far exceeding the temperature of the bath water, and ordinary people have to scald off the skin.

According to ancient texts, absorbing the fountain of resurrection is ten times as painful as a woman giving birth. This pain is just a prelude.

Donk soaked his lower body in hot water, bathed his upper body in steam, and there was a sharp pain on his skin that came into contact with the hot water, and he looked at his reddened skin, and inexplicably thought of steamed crabs. In addition to the unbearable heat, he also felt a hint of pinprick sensation. He speculated that the pinprick might be caused by the Resurrection Spring. As soon as he thought of this, he was excited, but he looked forward to a little more pinprick feeling. He opened his mouth and inhaled the steam in front of him, and this time, even the stinging pain was felt in his abdomen.

The pain is equivalent to a knife cut, but when the pain is examined, it is intact. The process of absorbing steam alone is equivalent to suffering a thousand cuts.

"Hehe, if I scream in pain later, you are not allowed to spread the word, it's a shame."

Tang Ke was bitter and happy, and just smiled a little, his face twitched in pain, and his smile turned into a bitter smile. The potion lasted for a short time, and after about five minutes, the Resurrection Fountain came out of the foul bath water and returned to its holy and radiant state, surging beautifully, and the colored light illuminated Tang Ke's red face.

Norman and the ship's doctor looked at the Resurrection Fountain in amazement, and because they didn't know what was going on, they were amazed and asked what it was.

Donk breathed a sigh of relief, bracing for pain far beyond a thousand cuts.

The large group of Resurrection Fountain felt the suction on Donk's body and floated towards his chest. Each drop of liquid from the Fountain of Resurrection has to be condensed together, and if dispersed, it will merge on its own. The Fountain of Resurrection pressed softly against Tonk's skin, seeping into it.

"Ahh

There was a sharp pain in Donk's chest, as if a wild beast had torn open his flesh and smeared salt water and chili oil on the wound! He had reached the limit when he faced the stinging pain, and now the stinging turned into a massive and severe pain, and the pain level had multiplied several times.

"What's wrong with you, Commander? Do you want to call someone else for help? ”

"Hurry up and help me hold him down and give him painkillers!"

Tang Ke was so painful that he even lost his spirit, he grabbed his chest, waved his hand and said, "You don't need to call others, the process of absorption is like this." When he finished speaking, he couldn't bear it anymore, kicked the tub and stumbled out. Hot water gushed out, wetting the floor and surging water and steam everywhere. Some water seeped into the stove, and the firewood emitted a "snort" smoke.

Norman and Sebastian rushed forward to catch Donk.

"Don't come here! Stay back! Donk pushed the two of them away, staggering a few steps against the wall, the resurrection fountain sticking to his chest like glue. He slammed the wall hard, denting the wooden wall. He exercised violently, slamming his chest to vent his pain. He struggled for dozens of seconds, because the pain was too intense, beyond the limit of his body's tolerance, and he fainted in pain. It would be a good thing if he could sleep until the end of the absorption process, but under the tearing of the severe pain, he was awakened again.

It was as if he was in hell, subjected to all kinds of torture, and the pain brought him back to life. He asked himself in his heart, is he going to die? Is the content of this book a hoax? He had thoughts of suicide every second, and he had to endure it with a strong will to stop biting his tongue. His vision blurred, and he fell to the ground, rolling back and forth. Despite the hot water, his body was still breaking out in a cold sweat, and the severe pain caused his body to collapse.

"Ahh

Donk cried out in pain, his voice as mournful as an ape's wail, piercing the room and reaching far and wide. Trembling, he fell to his knees with his head in his hands and ripped his hair down in handfuls.

Norman and Sebastian both looked stupid and messed up. Even if Sebastian was a doctor, there was nothing he could do at this time.

Donk was in a state of madness, shouting, crying, and hitting the objects around him hard, and more and more cracks appeared on the walls and floors, and the whole room was about to be demolished by him.

This hellish torture lasted for ten minutes. As soon as the last drop of the Rainbow Fountain melted into Tonk's chest, he finally stopped screaming and lay on the ground like a clay man.
