062 Trial of the Grass
When Roy brought the noodles to Siria, the girl looked at the two thin wooden sticks stuck in the bowl and was a little dazed, despite the hunger in her belly. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Roy smiled and showed her how to use chopsticks, and Siria began to follow suit, clumsily enjoying the fragrant food.
The girl was very smart, and it didn't take long for her to learn how to use chopsticks, and she ate faster and faster, until she finally drank all the noodle soup and breathed a sigh of relief.
A bowl of hot and appetizing sauerkraut beef noodles in the morning is indeed a very pleasant thing.
After the meal, Siria chatted while helping Roy clean up.
After a meal, the relationship between the two became much closer, and Siria no longer added honorifics to Roy, but called him by his name.
Roy knows that the girl's hometown is also a medieval civilization with magic, and in addition to humans, there are also dwarves, elves, dragons and other races. And so it was in that world, and there were many kingdoms and strife. The most powerful country today is the Nilfgaard Empire in the south of the continent. It was an expansive empire that expanded its territory by conquering neighboring countries.
Sintra, the homeland of Silria, was destroyed by the Nilfgaard Empire.
In the north, there is a situation in which the four kingdoms of Redania, Temeria, Kodwin, and Aden are in power. In addition, the Skelliger Islands, with their brave and warlike people, are also a force to be reckoned with.
According to Siriah, the magical civilization of her homeland seems to be stronger than the magical medieval in which Roy lived. A powerful mage or warlock who can manipulate dragons, drive out undead legions, and create their own subspace. It's basically a middle demon world.
As she packed her belongings and was ready to leave, Siria asked, "Where are we going, Roy?" โ
She is new to the city and is unfamiliar with life, so she can only follow Roy to act.
"I'm a demon hunter, and I'm going to destroy the spirits entrenched in the castle according to the commission."
"You? Demon hunters? Siria smiled and looked at Roy with a strange gaze.
"With all due respect, Roy." Siria said, "There is also a demon hunter profession in my world. My adoptive father, Geralt, was a legendary master demon hunter. As far as I know, every Demon Hunter is a strong warrior who is not afraid of death. I haven't heard of a mage going to be a demon hunter. Have you passed the Grass Trial? โ
In the world of Siria, demon hunters have to undergo alchemy's body modification at a young age, and the final test is the grass trial. Only by passing this cruel trial, which has a mortality rate of up to seventy percent, can one become a true demon hunter.
Demon hunters who have passed the Grass Trial will have superhuman physical fitness and are immune to most diseases, plagues, and toxins. And it has a long lifespan. What's more, they gain spell-casting abilities and can use a series of simple spells called "magic seals".
Siria looked at Roy's back again, making sure it was empty, and then said, "Moreover, you said that you are a demon hunter, but what about your sword?" Demon hunters always carry two swords on their bodies, a steel sword to slay the wicked, and a silver sword to slash the demons. โ
Roy shrugged and explained, "Perhaps in your world, being a demon hunter is a very demanding thing, even at the cost of your life. However, here, demon hunters are just an ordinary profession with relatively good pay and relatively high status. As long as you can hunt demons, anyone can become a demon hunter. โ
"And ......," Roy paused, flashing his pistol, "my silver spear is deadlier than any sword." โ
"This weapon is called ...... Gun? Siria looked curiously at the strange device in Roy's hand.
"Yes, it's a ranged weapon that relies on energy to shoot projectiles to kill enemies." Roy explained briefly.
"Interesting, even the dwarves of Mahakan don't have such a high level of craftsmanship." Siriah exclaimed.
Ciria's adoptive father, Geralt, was a great demon hunter, and her dream since childhood was to follow in his adoptive father's footsteps and become a demon hunter as well. Now that I heard Roy say that he was going to hunt demon spirits, he suddenly became interested and was very active in giving him advice.
"Before the battle begins, we should be well prepared. I've basically run out of alchemy items on my body. At the very least, I need to prepare some sword oil to make my sword more powerful. โ
Seeing that the girl was full of interest, Roy was not easy to spoil her interest. Anyway, there is no set time for the task to be completed, so it is also a good choice to rest for one more day to make Siria's body recover better.
It is better to enter the castle with a female warrior who can fight than with a wounded who needs to be cared for at all times.
Siria learned a lot from her adoptive father, Geralt, and how to make a lot of alchemical items.
"The environment of this place, very similar to the Willen region of my world, is all forest swamp terrain. I bet there are a lot of water ghosts here. In order for the journey to go smoothly, I should first refine a bottle of corpse bio oil. This requires dog fat and dandelions. โ
Roy discovers that the recipe he says is exactly the same as the one he found in the alchemy shop in Nรฎmes.
"There are monsters like water ghosts in your world?" Roy asked.
"yes, weird, isn't it?"
"Then in your world, is there a card game called 'Gwent cards' and there has been a phenomenon of the intersection of the celestial spheres?"
Siriah nodded.
"Sure enough!" Luo Yi said secretly, "The other world where the celestial sphere intersection phenomenon has occurred with this parallel earth is Siria's hometown!" โ
As soon as he came to this conclusion, he received a hint in his head.
"You learned about the phenomenon of the confluence of the celestial spheres by talking to Siria, a girl from another world."
"The perception of the plane of this world has increased by 13%."
"There's a new item for sale in the Plane Shop."
Roy opened the Magical Medieval Plane Shop and found that there were many more recipes for potions and decoctions for sale, as well as many alchemy materials that could be purchased with points.
Of course, the most attractive item in the store is the trial of grass, which Siriya once mentioned.
"Grass Trial."
"Origin: Demon Hunter World."
"Description: A brutal trial consisting of a series of potions that are highly toxic but can induce genetic mutations in the human body, so that the drinker can obtain greater strength. High risk means high reward. Just being able to live for more than 500 years is tempting enough to give it a try. If you pass the trial, the only side effect is the loss of fertility. Of course, in the eyes of some people, it is a good thing to be able to do whatever you want. โ
"Hint: If you can improve your own anti-toxicity, or reduce the toxicity of the potion by some means, you may be able to pass the grass trial safely and without side effects."
"Price: 1000 points."
If you can pass the grass trial, the benefits are enormous. It's just that due to its huge risk, the price is only 1000 points.
Roy had never been a risk-taker, so he would never attempt a trial of grass until he had found a definite cure for poison or gained the ability to be invincible.
On this day, Roy, along with Siria, wandered around the swampy area, killing several groups of water ghosts, and hunting a pack of wild dogs and a black bear.
Siriah also collected a lot of dandelions and fleas, and gathered the materials for refining corpse-eating biological oil and evil spirit oil.
When it was time to eat, Roy set up a pot to cook, and Siria also set up a pot to boil oil.
Through a few skirmishes today, Roy also has a general idea of Siria's strength. If you look at it by the standards of this world, then she is much stronger than a formal samurai, but she is far from reaching the level of a great samurai. Her strength is similar to that of Roy, but her agility and perception are superior, and her fighting style is known for her dexterity and swiftness.
The weapon used by Celiah is a sword called "Givy El", which, according to her, means "swallow" in Elven language. She also wears an enchanted cat-shaped badge. This trinket will tremble when approaching magical energy or monsters, and it is a very useful gadget.
"Hey, Roy, what are we going to eat tonight?" After Siria finished refining the sword oil, she came to Roy's side to watch the excitement.
"As you wish, it's still noodles. This time it's bacon lettuce noodles. Roy said angrily.
Since tasting the delicious taste of noodles in the morning, Siria asked Roy to make noodles at noon and evening. For the sake of the other party's initial recovery from a major injury, or in other words, for the sake of the other party's super beauty, Roy agreed to this request.
Siria looked at the neatly arranged side dishes, and then at the boiling pot, and couldn't help but sigh: "If I become a queen in the future, I must tie you up to be a court cook." โ
"Didn't you say your desire was to become a free-spirited demon hunter? Just like your adoptive father, Geralt. Roy smiled.
"So, you're giving me a dilemma, Roy. When you become a demon hunter, of course, you don't have the money to hire a chef. โ
"No dilemma. If you are invited by such a beautiful woman, even if it is a reverse payment, I am willing to follow you and cook for you every day. โ
Although both the speaker and the listener knew that it was just a joke blurted out, Siriah was still slightly stunned when she heard this, as if she remembered something.
"I've met many men, and you're not the strongest of them all, but you're the most talkative and pleasing of them."
"You're only eighteen, miss. It's as if you've been through a lot. It's too early for you to become a human grower. Roy smiled and touched the girl's head.
Siria felt as if something was in her hair. When she touched it, she realized that it was the flour that Luo Yi had just put on when he was making noodles.
"This guy actually took the opportunity to play tricks on me!"
Siria was raised as a boy since she was a child, and she has a lively and jumpy side of her personality, and she doesn't hate pranks.
Seeing that Roy began to focus on the noodles in the pot again, Siria smiled narrowly and stretched out his hand......
