Chapter 25: Suspicion

"We 'woods' aren't vegetarians!" With that, Coconut Tree gave Julian one last bright smile and quickly drank all the black bottles of unknown liquid. Please use this site.

"Wow...... Whoa, whoa!"

In less than 2 seconds, the coconut tree's body changed dramatically, he let out a howl like a beast, his body swelled up at a rapid speed, the clothes on his body were torn by the rising **, and the skin exposed in the air was covered with an unsettling dark red - just like the beech tree.

"That's ...... Drops of blood!" Julian blurted out.

The so-called "Bloodmaniac Drop" is an enhanced magic potion similar to a stimulant, but the effect of a general stimulant is not even half that of the "Bloodmadness Drop". The "Drop of Blood Madness" must use the blood of orcs as raw materials, add all kinds of complex magic potions, and repeatedly concentrate and refine for a long time through alchemy, usually a ton of orc blood can only refine dozens of grams of "Drops of Blood Madness". The magic of this magic potion lies in the fact that it manifests the berserk ability of high-level orcs through the human body. Under the influence of the "Drop of Blood", the strength and speed of the soldiers have increased greatly, ignoring the pain, it is not an exaggeration to say that the strength of one person swept away thousands of troops, and there have been many examples in history of soldiers who drank the "Drop of Blood" on the battlefield and quickly transferred the situation on the battlefield.

However, the price paid for using the "Drops of Blood Madness" is also quite heavy, the mortality rate of the user is as high as more than 90%, and even if the rest can survive, they will suffer damage that cannot be recovered for a lifetime, but what Yan zhòng wants is that people who drink the "Drops of Blood Madness" will gradually lose their minds, and all their minds will be dominated by the only will to "destroy the enemy", becoming a mindless killing machine, and when the real enemy disappears, they will treat any living thing they can see as an "enemy." ", including their own original allies, unleash a frenzied attack that does not distinguish between friend and foe until they are knocked down or the effects of the magic potion are over.

Therefore, the "Drop of Blood Madness" was labeled as an "evil alchemy product", which was strictly forbidden by the Holy Light Church and was treated as a heresy, and the ** teams and the vast majority of mercenary groups also abolished the use of "Blood Drops" one after another, and in recent centuries, large-scale wars rarely broke out between humans and orcs, and it was difficult to collect a large amount of orc blood, so now the "Blood Madness Drop" that remains in Olopa is quite rare, and it is sold for at least one million gold coins a bottle in the black market.

But in front of Julian, two bottles of sky-high "Drops of Blood" have been drunk by two members of the "Woods" organization, which shows that the financial resources that support the operation of "Woods" are not trivial.

But for now, the question of how the "woods" got the "drops of blood" is not on Julian's mind.

After seeing the changes in the bodies of the beech and coconut trees, and hearing the words "drops of blood", William was even more convinced of his judgment. The necessity of purifying one qiē evil was the only thought in his heart right now. Between the continuous dodging of the beech tree's attacks, William counterattacked again and again, but even with the blessing of the war spirit, the long sword only left a shallow blood mark on the body of the berserk orc, and now another enemy who drank the "blood madness" joined the battle, and the situation became more complicated. Julian wanted to go up to help several times, even though he knew that the coconut and beech trees affected by the "Drop of Blood" could accidentally injure him at any time, but it was difficult for him to stand idly by, and if Serena hadn't stopped him, Julian would have rushed over.

The three of them came to a violent hedge. The paladin's powerful fighting spirit was suppressed by the rampaging orc warriors. William grasped the hilt of the sword with his right hand, held the blade of the sword with his left hand, and raised it flat forward, resisting the impact of the long knife and hook claw, but his body was pushed back again and again by the coconut and beech trees. The powerful potential energy generated by the weight of the three people's bodies was smashed through the paulownia wood exterior wall that had already pierced a hole in the wall, forming a large hole with a radius of 2 meters.

Julian rushed to the edge of the big wall and looked down, only to see the coconut tree, the beech tree, and William fall to the grass screen outside, but the battle between them did not stop, but the battlefield was changed from the narrow second floor to the wide grass screen.

Before he could look further, several piercing screams suddenly came from his head, and Julian looked up to see three harpies grabbing the fireball with their claws and swooping down on him as he stood by the hole in the wall.

"Bastard!" Julian was inexplicably furious, his hands clenching the knight's sword, ready to face the Harpy, but at the same time, he heard someone shouting from behind him, "Julian, get out of the way." ”

It was Serena's voice, and Julian immediately turned around and staggered three or four meters, just as the three harpies had already pounced in front of the hole in the big wall, but they were attacked by a large swarm of bees. Julian turned his attention to the source of the bees, but Serena had something like a whistle in her mouth, blowing a rhythmic whistle, and at the same time stretched her hands forward, and from inside her wide nun's robes, swarms of bees "buzzed" out, and pinned around the three harpies, while Julian, who was standing nearby, was unharmed.

"The Technique of Bee Resistance!"

Julian immediately understood what kind of secret weapon Selina had hidden in her sleeve. During her days under the same roof as Selina, Julian knew about Selena's work, and she would go to the villages outside the city almost every day to buy a few jars of honey from the bee farmers and bring them back to the city to sell. Originally, Julian thought that this was just a random job arranged by Selina to disguise her identity as a spy, but she didn't expect that this was Selena's real secret.

Among the twelve large secular nations of the Holy Light Cult, the Kingdom of Shalilan, located on the continent of Morun, was the last country to convert to the Holy Light Cult. The predecessor of the Kingdom of Shaliland, the Kingdom of Hangke, originally believed in a religion called "Zoroastrianism". When the holy army of the Holy Light Cult carried out armed missions, the kingdom of the Tak and the Zoroastrians put up a desperate resistance, but in the face of the disparity in strength, the Tak army was defeated and the country fell inch by inch, and in this desperate situation, an unheard-of tactic was brought to the battlefield, that is, the "Bee Technique".

Two-thirds of the land of the Kingdom of Pick is located in the desert, and the other third is the fertile Hundred Flowers Plain, which is also a place rich in high-quality bees, and the beekeeping industry occupies a high position in the Hundred Flowers Plain.

Unlike druid magic, which uses psychic power to control animals and plants, the "Bee Technique" is not magic, but requires mutual induction and mental understanding between beekeepers and bees after at least ten years of long-term cohabitation, and then uses sound to control the bees. Therefore, the priests of the Holy Army cannot use the principle of sensing elemental fluctuations to warn of the arrival of the swarm like the magicians of the Snowy Federation, so whenever the swarm descends on the head of the cross, it can often catch the Holy Army by surprise, and countless Crusader soldiers are crucified by the bees.

Even if the Holy Army achieved the final victory, Zoroastrianism was completely replaced by the Holy Light Religion, and the Kingdom of Tak became the later Kingdom of Shalilan, but in the hearts of the soldiers, there were still lingering fears about those swarms of bees, so the "Bee Fighting Technique" was also defined as an "evil heresy" by the Central Church and was completely banned.

First the "Drop of Blood", then the "Bee Technique", in just a few minutes, Julian saw two heretical taboos one after another, and he could probably guess why the "Woods" organization hated the Central Church so much.
