Chapter 56: The Spider's Lair
"What if I go into the Great Library when I'm injured? Even if time flows at a constant rate, ten days is better than a day to get more healing, right?" Downton thought of another possibility.
"Yes, you can heal your wounds while reading in the library, but remember, no potion will work, and you can only use magic to heal your body. ”
Homer finally provided good news.
Almost most healing techniques are harmless, but unlike potions, when the body grows constantly, metabolic activity becomes slow, which also means that the absorption of potions is slower, which will cause them to accumulate in the body in large quantities, which will have adverse reactions to the body and organs.
"I don't seem to know a single healing technique?" Downton was stunned, and then annoyed, as a wild paladin, he really didn't know how to systematically learn divine arts, it was completely what was needed in battle, so he went to sacrifice.
The three key points of the Magic Codex, the altars that have long extinguished the divine fire in the dimensional space of the Demon Codex, and the hundreds of thousands of undead creatures in the dungeon, can only allow Downton to obtain divine magic through sacrifice, otherwise he can only learn step by step like other priests.
"You just found out?" Homer teased, "If a paladin like you who is not even half-baked goes to the secret realm and ruins to explore, no one in the adventure group will glance at you, let alone recruiting." ”
"Forget it, let's wait until I get out of the library to learn divine arts, I'd better start the Potions course first!" Thinking that he still owed a lot of soul sacrifices to the cheap gods, Downton could only put down the thought of sacrificing again.
"Here's your next list of books. ”
The Demon Flame text flickered, forming a dense list of book titles, nearly a hundred of them.
"Introduction to Pharmaceution", "Encyclopedia of Potions", "Practical Potions", "A Thousand Magical Potions", "A Thousand Common Potions", ......
With a thud, the fist-sized book elf bounced out of the air, a slightly yellowed piece of parchment and a white quill floating in front of it.
"Is that all?" the book elf asked in a soft voice with wide eyes.
"Hmm!" Downton nodded.
As an encyclopedia, Homer's experience is so rich that the list of Potions books listed for him is definitely the most efficient and practical at the moment.
"Borrowing accepted!"
As the voice of the book elf fell, the quills clicked twice out of thin air, as if dipped in ink, and then began to write on the parchment with redbud flowers printed on the edges, leaving behind a string of ornate magic flame words.
Whenever a book title is written, it twinkles like a star, and then the corresponding book flies out of the bookshelf as if it had wings.
When Celes awoke, she saw books falling on the table in front of Downton like geese returning from the north, stacked high in stacks.
Downton picked up a book and opened the cover, although the book was not very new, but it was very well preserved, without any signs of damage or folding.
"After borrowing, please take good care of the books, otherwise you will be punished!"
After saying more than a dozen precautions, with a bang, the book elf disappeared into the air.
"You read the book, I won't bother you, if you have any questions, you can ask me, or the book elf!" After releasing pen and paper from the war space, as well as a bottle of ink, the Grimome flew towards Serex, "Let's go, let's go to the other side of the reading area." ”
Seres was unwilling, but was slapped on the forehead by the Grimograph, reprimanded, and obediently left.
Downton's hand as he opened the book trembled slightly, and he thought of the time when he and his sister sat under the oil lamp and listened to his mother read.
The quill kisses the parchment, making a rustling but rhythmic sound, like a tender green shoot full of green dreams in spring, breaking through the ground.
Time flies, and Downton's posture has never changed.
Looking at Downton, who was casually eating black bread and never leaving the page, Homer was very relieved, he had seen this state many times in ten days, and he was not on a whim, but really longed to become a great potions master.
"This kind of dedication and hard work will reward you with a good harvest. Homer sighed, couldn't bear to bother, flew away, and let him see Zuihou for a moment.
Elise's lively personality couldn't bear to read quietly, but every time I went to Downton, I saw him holding a scroll, absorbing knowledge, like a statue, and the Banshee's lips opened many times, but in the end it didn't bother him.
"At least, keep up with Downton!" Celest, motivated by this scene, began to work hard, and secretly made up her mind.
Homer was satisfied with two diligent and studious students, and then took on the role of mentor strictly, teaching Celes with all her might.
Bang, there was an explosion, and the book elf appeared out of thin air.
"When you run out of borrowing time, please leave the library within five minutes, otherwise you will be forcibly expelled and disqualified from the next borrowing session. ”
The book elf will not impress Downton because of his efforts.
"So fast?" Downton stretched, feeling like his body was rusting and his muscles ached slightly.
In ten days, Downton had left his seat only a handful of times, and his body was inevitably stiff, and if it weren't for being a demonic power, he wouldn't have been able to hold on.
Celes held the Grimometry to her chest with both hands and flew over.
"Next time, remember to combine work and rest, and stand up and move when you are tired. Homer projected the text, "Let's go." ”
"Xiexie!" Downton reluctantly closed the book, put the table away, and thanked the book elf.
"This is my duty!" the book elf said a rare sentence because of Downton's attitude, "Do you need to borrow books to take away?"
"You mean, I can take the book out?" Downton was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed, and nodded busily, "I need to." ”
"You have E-level clearance, you can borrow a copy and take it out of the library, but be sure to keep the book safe, if it is damaged, you will be punished severely. The book wizard added, "The borrowing time depends on the magic stone you pay." ”
"Help me handle it, borrow this book "A Thousand Magical Potions"!" Downton has no surprises or complaints about paying magic stones, there is no free lunch in the world, this is the simplest truth.
"It's a good choice, you should memorize all kinds of potions as soon as possible now, otherwise you will buy a fake, and the waste of gold coins will be secondary, the key is that it is too embarrassing. "Homer knows this knowledge, but it is it, and if Downton can't remember it, he won't even be able to enter the door of Potions.
Out of the library, down the steps, Downton retreated into his study, the Gothic door behind him shattered into streamers and fluttered down.
Feeling the weight of the book in his hand, Downton had a sense of unreality, the power of the Grimoire was really unbelievably powerful.
"Get ready, continue to raid the bank, hunt the spiders, and pay off the debt first. "The Grimome has put Jihua in order.
Downton walked into the courtyard, looked at the dark dungeon, and took a deep breath, "Homer, arm me and release the demon servants!"
The war space opened, and the six elemental arms held parts of the armor of the 'Hundred Warriors' to help Downton put on the armor, while four ghouls in warrior suits stepped out of the light door and stood around.
One of them was carrying a tomahawk torn dragon tooth.
Hanging the warrior's dagger at his waist, Downton carried the Ogre Saber to the central block, where the largest bank in the dungeon city of Porusna stood.
In front of the bank stands a stone monument carved with the family coat of arms of Hohenzollern, the hereditary family of Saint-Gerdelania, a name that represents wealth, liliang, and power.
"Hopefully, the collection in the vault won't disappoint us. Downton wielded his saber and slashed at the black-blooded spiders surrounded by the demon servants.
"There are so many spiders in Weishenme?" Celes felt disgusted when she looked at these insects, which were bigger than war horses, with hideous mouthparts and compound eyes, so she hid far away, saying nothing without first reconnaissance.
With the bank as the center, the entire street is covered with white cobwebs, and piles of bucket-sized spider eggs are scattered unevenly in between.
Except for the black blood spiders who left the bank lair to hunt, the rest are scattered scattered along the long streets, guarding the spider mothers of their species.
"Don't worry, push slowly, these spiders are tougher than trash ghouls. "After discussing with Downton, the magic book gave up the method of fire attack, once it burns, not to mention that it can't control the fire, it will also attract a large number of undead creatures, if it is mixed with a few high-level, then Downton will definitely die.
Of course, the biggest hidden danger is the Robinson trio, if they let them notice the bank because of the flames and loot the vault, then Downton will not be able to catch a hair.
"Maybe there's a legendary-level weapon in there!" Downton loaded his crossbow and fired it at the nearest spider.
The crossbow bolt landed on the spider's body, and the blood flew at it, and it flew towards it.
Fortunately, there are not many dark animals living in the dungeon, which also means that there is a lack of food, so that the black blood spider population cannot grow, otherwise Downton will definitely not dare to fight the idea of the Hohenzollern Bank, which has become a spider's nest.
Downton continued to shoot arrows, and was ready to send a ghoul to harass the spider at any time, ensuring that it would not give up the pursuit, and when he turned the corner, the already ready servants pounced on him fearlessly.
"It's still not safe enough, and the efficiency is too slow!" After hacking the spider to death and collecting the magic core, Downton did not rush to attract the monster, but thought calmly.
"What then?" Celence relied on Downton so much that she didn't bother to use her brain, she felt that Downton must have a solution.
"You'll find out later. "Downton didn't disappoint.
A dark red glow of the eye was staring at Downton's every move through a narrow window gap, and then spat out its scarlet tongue and licked his lips.
After searching for a long time, I didn't find Downton's Tony hiding in a safe house, sleeping on a wooden bed.
