Chapter 719: Enveloping
Daredevil Willy's case has a lot of significance for Victor.
Letters from Wizard Tofowen indicate that he has indeed observed two different bloodline states, Willy and Daredevil.
The letter stated that Willy's blood status is also different from ordinary people, and the internal organs are extraordinarily powerful, but almost all the nutrients he absorbs from food are used to nourish the inner potential, but he looks very thin on the outside, usually mentally tired, pale, always half-asleep, and very easy to fall into a deep sleep.
At night, Willy transforms into a night demon, his bloodline state is at the other extreme, his spirit is highly active, his inner potential is fully released, he has far more strength and agility than ordinary people, his senses become sharp, and he has the ability to shimmer vision.
In fact, the Daredevil also has three special psychic gifts: the will to fear, the madness to kill, and the instinct to fight. However, Tofowen's sorcery can only probe the state of the bloodline, and cannot involve the realm of the mind. Moreover, the Chief Faceless is in the twilight of his life, too old to study the secrets of Daredevil Willy. He sent this valuable test material to Randall's Domain, hoping that Victor and Grimm the Dwarf would find a breakthrough in psychic potion from the Night Demon.
The study of the law of blood is unparalleled in the world, and the church has accumulated thousands of years of research on the power of the heart, but the combination of the heart and blood to create a new field, Victor can be called the first person today.
Daredevil Willy's psychic and bloodline talents complement each other and are in line with the principles of beauty created by nature. Whether his twin soul states are born or caused by witchcraft, they are extremely valuable references.
No one can create a discipline out of thin air, and all scholarship or technology has a basis in reality. Daredevil Willy is a living example, and unearthing his secrets can expand the content of many academic fields, such as the pharmacy of the Kite Castle and the study of the Church's mind, and of course, the secret method of the Psychic Bloodline.
Believing that both the church and the Kite Castle are investigating the cause of Daredevil Willy, Tofowen sends the first-hand information he has to the Randall family, along with a brief information about Daredevil Willy.
However, he needed more detailed information to deduce the cause of the Daredevil.
Victor can't just rely on Kite Castle for information. Randall has his own intelligence force, and in addition to mercury, he can also mobilize Trisley's spies.
Comparatively speaking, Mercury's intelligence network is more extensive, covering almost the entire human realm, but the number of core agents is too small, and the professionalism is not as good as that of the agents cultivated by the York family. In order to avoid attracting the attention of the Inquisition, it would be more appropriate for Victor to give the task of secretly investigating Willy to the Rose Manor.
It takes time to investigate a person's past in detail and depth. This is a long-term task, and with the power of the Raging Wind Sword Saint, it will take months, even two or three years, to get a detailed report in stages. Victor has patience, but there's more to it than that.
The next morning, Victor asks Charlotte to take matters into his own hands to handle the relocation of the Apothecary's Secret Castle. Under the pretext of breaking his oath female knight, he took several alchemical militia guards to the beast training ground of the wizard Emerson.
Emerson is timid and lustful, greedy for a comfortable life, but because of this, he works extremely hard, and in more than three years, he has achieved quite good results.
First of all, on the basis of guard dogs and guard dogs, he used witchcraft to breed a new Randall Bear Dog. This is a muscular and sturdy war dog, about the size of an alchemy mastiff, looking like a miniature version of a bear, resolute and brave by nature, with keen senses and amazing bite, and relatively obedient. In the actual combat test, four adult male bear dogs cooperated with each other, and after paying the price of two deaths and one serious injury, they actually bit to death an alchemy mastiff that did not use bloodthirsty talent.
In other words, the alchemy mastiff in its normal state cannot completely crush an adult male bear dog in terms of strength, and its wild intuition is an advantage that the bear dog cannot reach. And the most satisfying thing for Victor is that the bear dog is omnivorous, the food intake range is very wide, the proportion of plant feed can be more than half, what mushrooms, worms, tender grass, jaggery, honey, they all eat, this is really a bit like a bear beast.
The service life and feeding cost of bear dogs are significantly better than those of alchemical war mastiffs. Victor could see that Imerson used the alchemy mastiff as the standard, and wanted to prove his worth to his master by breeding the bear dog to distinguish himself from the non-existent wizard.
In addition to bear dogs, Emerson also crossed the red-haired bison of the Wharton prairie with the common bullock to breed a docile and endurance shorthorn that could replace two heavy horses and pull a standard chariot.
Imerson said that the shorthorn is still in its first generation and has the potential to continue to improve, but it will take longer and put more effort into it. He has successfully improved the second generation of camel antelope and two generations of semi-swift birds.
Originally a traditional mountain camel of the Neville people, the camel is a medium-sized animal, about the size of a donkey on earth, and can carry a cargo of less than 600 pounds. Victor never expected that this guy Imerson would actually communicate with the swamp goblin leader about animal taming skills and breed the second generation of camel antelope.
They are smaller than normal camel hunts, with high, raised humps that store more water and fat, and are able to carry weights for long periods of time. Although the weight range of the second-generation camel is reduced to 400 pounds, they eat less, are more physically strong, are good at enduring hunger and thirst, change their back hair twice a year, are resistant to cold and heat, and are adapted to transportation needs in various environments, such as swamps and dense forests.
However, the three generations of swift birds and war birds that Victor was looking forward to are still stuck in the second and a half generations. Emerson explains that since the number of swamp goblin slaves is approaching 40,000, it will be difficult for the lizardmen clan to control them anymore. In order to cope with the problems caused by the growth of the number of goblins, he prioritized the cultivation of bear dogs and camel antelopes, hoping that these two animals would improve the patrol force and transportation capacity of the advance base, and effectively limit the activities of goblin slaves, preventing them from escaping the actual control of the advance base and forming a new goblin group.
Afterwards, Emerson vowed to Victor that he would concentrate on raising the third generation of swift birds, and that he would expect to produce satisfactory results to his owners within three years.
Wizard Emerson is admired by Victor for his enthusiasm for his work, but Grimm the Short achieves nothing, and he is a model for the scholars of the Randall family. But if you think about it carefully, there are objective reasons for the difference between the two, Grimm the Shorty's attainments in pharmacy have reached their peak, and it is very difficult to take a step forward. Imerson's study of animal taming has only just begun, and the Randall family has provided him with shelter and a place to experiment, and he is well positioned to tap into his own witchcraft powers.
In ancient times, shamans generally worked part-time as scholars, provided that they lived without worry.
In any case, Victor had to give Emerson encouragement. In the past, he was afraid of being implicated by wizards, and never accepted Emerson in the name of his family. Now, with the status of the Raging Wind Sword Saint, raising a wizard is only a minor problem, not to mention that Father Miller has been secretly taking care of the Emerson father and daughter. Victor gave him his surname on the spot, gave Emerson Randall a farmstead, and invited him to dinner with him at Silvermoon Manor.
The so-called solo invitation, in fact, is accompanied by the fierce warrior Marsie. Victor intends to facilitate the marriage of Marcie and Imerson because Emerson is a shaman who cannot share his secrets with his two young wives. Victor needs to master the secret side of the wizard and understand his progress in witchcraft, and it is very necessary to arrange a pillow person for Emerson who can analyze his secrets and calm his emotions.
Marcy was the right person. She knew that the reason she was valued by the Randall family was because Tournans needed to test a forging method to improve the abilities of a fierce warrior, and out of ambition and yearning for power, she accepted the identity of the tester, and did not hesitate to abandon her family to show loyalty and determination. A year ago, in the Maverick Village Blockade, Marcie performed well in the battle, strangling a silver-level fierce centaur alive and winning the title of "Blood Python".
During Victor's visit to the Cult of El, he asked Pope Clement to heal Marcie's eyes and restore her appearance, while showing the attitude of the Swordmaster of the Storm. From then on, Marcy "The Blood Python" was no longer a test subject for the Templars, and she was a core member of House Randall.
The power and supernatural power that Marcie craves is something only Victor can give her, so there is no need to doubt her loyalty. With the "Blood Python" Marcie protecting Wizard Imerson, Victor will be more at ease.
After three body reshapes, Marcie has a gorgeous appearance, fair skin, and a tall and plump figure, which has a different kind of charm than the gentle and coquettish house maid. When Emerson saw her, his eyes were straight, and when Victor showed a little bit of a match, he immediately made a secret gesture to Marcie, showing off the farm he had just acquired.
It's a pity that Marcie doesn't look down on Emerson at all and deals with the other party coldly.
After dinner, Victor asks Marcy what he thinks of Imerson. As expected, Marcy bluntly said that she liked Nelson, but Nelson didn't like her. If she couldn't marry Lord Nelson, she hoped to start a family with a nobleman, even if she didn't have the title of wife. As for Imoson, he is too weak.
Victor was speechless, he couldn't tell Marcy right now that Emerson was actually a legendary wizard, and that if he was given enough time and circumstance, he could develop an army of alien beasts.
However, Imerson's extraordinary strength seems to have little to do with his physical strength.
After all, Marcy is a fierce female warrior who ignites the fire of her heart, and her strength is close to the silver rank, and Victor can't force him to marry Emerson.
Fortunately, His Highness Randall is now able to force many people. Most of the sword-wielding maids cultivated by Mercury Manor come from cottage strongholds, and their belief in the Lord of Radiance is weak and near-nothing, and through body remodeling, they diligently cultivate the source blood secret method, and have good strength. Victor decides to choose a sword-wielding maid who is outstanding in all aspects and gives it to Emerson as his wife.
After Marcy left, Victor took out a priceless bottle of life-prolonging potion and instructed the wizard to take it. Master Tofowen personally concocted the life-prolonging potion with the dragon vein kobold's heart as the main ingredient, and even the Duke of York couldn't ask for it, but Wizard Emerson was worth Victor's big money.
After Emerson fell asleep and made sure that the life-prolonging potion worked, Victor quietly left Silvermoon Manor and took the two alchemy militiamen, Renault and Shak, to the alchemy tower of the hill fortress.
The Alchemy Tower Cave was cold and damp, Victor walked into the inner cave, glanced at the Creation Altar that was not unusual, connected his consciousness to the Tower Spirit, and said, "King, I'm back." ”
Taling's emotionless voice sounded in Victor's head:
"My lord, Alchemy Tower No. 7 welcomes your return and awaits your orders. ”
Victor nodded, and commanded as usual: "Report on the situation of the No. 7 Alchemy Tower." ”
