Chapter 506: The Baptism of Divinity
After comforting Amon for a while, the hungry people went to the open-air garden restaurant on the top floor and had a particularly hearty lunch. During the meal, Caton proposed to his wife, Maria, to move to the city of Bluvent, and the latter immediately nodded and agreed.
After all, although Ascatra is prosperous, it is still dangerous. Almost every once in a while, the monsters in the mountains have gathered enough strength to attack the city. Although they have managed to hold the line so far, who knows when something unexpected will happen, so an island city without monsters is still very attractive.
What's more, being a tutor in the academy is much better than a job in the Knights, not only is the income several times higher, but it is also very safe. The most important thing is to be able to go home on time, and it will not be like before, and the husband and wife will not see each other for several months.
Having successfully recruited an experienced old paladin, Henry's mood was immediately much happier. For him, the pleasure of running a territory is second only to the improvement of personal strength. Watching a wild land being developed into a paradise suitable for human habitation is a sense of accomplishment that is hard to describe in words.
After lunch, Kaidong took his wife and two daughters to take his leave. They also had to go home and pack their things, planning to leave for the north at the end of this month to take an airship. Moving as a family is no small task, and there is a lot of preparation that needs to be done. But fortunately, the owner of the family is a powerful paladin, so there is no need to worry about safety along the way.
Henry sent all his teammates back to his quarters and drove his wheelchair to the Thieves' Guild headquarters in the docklands alone. As soon as he arrived at the door, he found that this place was different from before, and the lazy guys who had been guarding the door were gone. Instead, there are two elite thieves with dazzling eyes.
As soon as they saw someone approaching. Immediately shouted loudly: "Go away!" Strangers are not welcome here! ”
Obviously. These two guys are new and don't know Henry at all. However, they looked really good, and they had been trained quite well, both in terms of the placement of their weapons and their sharp reactions. I have to say, Robert is really a genius at managing intelligence agencies, and it only took a few days to put this mess in order.
However, he didn't come today to inspect the work, but to send out the guild's forces to find Warig. Khosala, only with this creature's blood can he enter the dimensional sphere that towers above the slum. Although it is mentioned in the game. He hid in a forest hut in the Uma hills. But the Uma Hills are quite large, and the radius is not one or two hundred square kilometers, so it is not easy to find people in such a large area.
What's more, Warrig is not necessarily hiding somewhere, and even the Masked Mage Guild's prophecy magic can't be detected, so at this time, it is the wisest choice to use the Shadow Thief Guild's huge intelligence network. After all, this part of the guild is still named in Renault. Under the name of the blood head, it shouldn't be a problem to borrow it.
The thieves guarding the door saw that they didn't speak for a long time, and immediately became nervous, and one of them even directly raised his crossbow and threatened loudly: "One last warning!" If you don't leave, don't blame us for being rude! ”
"Hehe, don't be nervous, relax. I'm here to find Robert. Of course, if he's not looking for Anishia. Henry directly stated the purpose of the trip. He still has a lot of things to deal with. I didn't have time to accompany the two thieves guarding the door.
"Looking for a leader? You wait, I'll go in and report. As he spoke, one of the thieves glanced at his companion, then turned and walked back into the house. He knew very well that the leader of Robert had only been there for a few days, and it was impossible for him to know unless he was an acquaintance.
What is the most important thing about being a member of the Thieves' Guild? The answer is eyesight. Thieves who like to stir up trouble usually don't live long, and maybe they get into trouble with the wrong people that time, and death will follow. You must know that crime is also a very technical work, and you must first estimate the combat effectiveness of the target and confirm that the strength is below you before you can do it.
The thief was obviously superb, and he could see Henry's extraordinaryness at a glance, so he didn't deliberately make things difficult, and honestly ran in to run the letter. His accomplices watched in place to prevent the unexpected. From this alone, it can be seen that the entire guild has indeed taken on a new look, and the last time I came, the gatekeepers let it go without even asking.
After waiting quietly for a few minutes, Robert came out of the house. Of course, when he saw Henry, he immediately bowed and asked, "Is there anything I need to do?" ”
"Of course, help me find this person. Be careful not to let the masked mage notice. In addition, this bottle of potion can be drunk in a place where no one is around, which is good for you. With that, Henry handed over a piece of parchment with a person's name written on it and a flask containing divine nature, and then turned away without saying a word.
He believed that with Robert's ability, he would get this thing done. As for the bottle of divinity, it doesn't matter if it succeeds or not, anyway, with the intimate feelings that have been cultivated over the years, Robert will not betray himself lightly.
Watching Henry fade out of sight, a thief cautiously asked, "Head, who is he?" ”
"For the sake of your little life to live longer, it's better not to know." Robert glanced at his hands with a piercing gaze, then turned and entered the room.
He didn't drink the potion in a hurry, but opened the parchment and looked at it first, only to see that it was written: "Varig. Kosala, a professional ranger and the only son of the Kosara family, has an extremely powerful magical talent in his bloodline, and is currently being hunted by the Masked Mage Guild. He has a residence in the city's docklands, as well as a forest hut in the Ummah Hills. ”
After reading all the contents, Robert directly threw the sheepskin to the little leader next to him and ordered: "No matter what means you use, find this person for me within three days." Remember, don't let the word go, or you'll know the consequences. ”
"Yes...... But Boss, the Uma Hills are so far away that it would take two days to get there by boat. Time is running out. The little leader grumbled with a bitter face. He knew very well that the new kid was resolute. If you promise to come down, you will definitely be punished if you fail to complete the task by then. So I want a grace period of a few days.
"There was no negotiation, just three days. But I can give you a fast boat to get to your destination in a day. "Robert stuck the time card so hard that he didn't have any room for bargaining. His management philosophy is to force his subordinates to maximize their potential, and only then will the entire guild become efficient.
The little leader smiled wryly and nodded, "Okay, I'll do my best." With that, he turned and left the room. Three days can be described as a tight clamp, removing the time delayed on the road. It can really be used to find people in just over a day, and it is impossible to complete the task if you don't act quickly.
After seeing his subordinates leave, the corners of Robert's mouth turned up slightly, showed a hint of a smile, locked the door casually, and then took out the potion and drank it in one gulp. The glowing liquid flowed down the esophagus into the stomach, and in an instant, the chest felt like it had been hit by a sledgehammer, and the severe pain quickly swept through the whole body.
"Ah...... Yes...... Yes...... Hah!" Roth tried to cry out in pain, but his throat was missing as if something was stuck. Only short sounds can be made. He felt a fire burning violently in his chest, and it was gradually spreading to the periphery. Just a few seconds. The whole person was soaked with sweat, and his limbs twitched unobediently, looking like he was about to die.
Obviously, this is the divine nature transforming the entire body, as long as you grit your teeth and hold back, it won't take long to get countless benefits. Although Henry had already added a lot of neutralizers to it, it was still very sad for mortals to make this transformation. After all, if you want to get rid of the flesh, you need to go through the test, and the will is precisely the most important of them.
Robert curled up in a ball, banging his head against the corner of the wall desperately, trying to relieve a little of the pain. He now regretted the bottle of potion with his subordinates, the pain was simply more than any torture, every second was challenging the limits of the nerves, but he couldn't pass out.
As time passed, the pain gradually intensified as the transformation deepened. But Robert has survived the toughest times, and now there is even a glimmer of pleasure in addition to the pain.
After all, human nerves have a limit to endure, and when the limit is destroyed, the brain will transmit an inexplicable signal, which is the origin of pleasure (the origin of SM?). )。 Many torture masters will master this technique, and give the prisoner a reasonable rest during the execution to achieve the goal of causing the other person to suffer. However, the transformation of divinity will not stop, so it is now beyond the limits of nerve bearing.
He could feel that some kind of power was already flowing through his body, and it was stimulating the latent power in his veins. It didn't take long for golden dragon scales to begin to grow on the surface of the skin, which was so different from the looming ones before.
There is no doubt that divinity has reactivated the thin golden dragon blood in Robert's body, and there is also this tendency to transform into a half-dragon man. After only a few minutes, horns grew on his head, his hands turned into sharp claws, and a pair of huge fleshy wings were forming behind him.
Pieces of round and tight scales cover the whole body, making the whole person look golden. At the same time, the two eyes also underwent strange changes, the pupils disappeared completely, the whole eyeball was like a ball of molten gold, a dragon power began to emanate into the air, and countless bugs and mice crawled out of the corners, as if they felt something terrible, and ran away in the blink of an eye.
Just when Robert thought that this change was about to end, suddenly his heart "poofed", and he jumped heavily, followed by "poof", "poof", "poof", "poof", faster and faster, more and more urgent, as if it was about to explode. The violent throbbing brought great force, and the entire body began to deform violently, and in a few moments, all the characteristics of being a human were gone, and in its place was a majestic golden dragon.
