Pain is like fire, it's a way of working on the nerves, and it doesn't involve any real heat or flame.

His muscles tensed, and Gustav grabbed the pads beneath him and gritted his teeth. He didn't show cowardice in the face of the Night Mother's curse, and he couldn't back down now.

Well, Gustav perseverance is really good...... Zell looked at Gustav, who was clenching his teeth, and praised it in his heart.

Gustav's sweat seeped out, soaking his bangs and hair. The burning sensation made him feel like he was heartbreaking.

Hiss...... Suddenly, the pain began to abate.

It's like a person on fire who falls into the water, and the flames on his body are extinguished.

It seems that some component of the blood is activated, and the body begins to secrete a substance. As the blood flowed, Gustav felt the burning sensation lessen.

Getting up excitedly, Gustav looked at Zell.

With a strange cry, Zell pointed to a standing mirror not far away: "Go ahead, see for yourself what it looks like now." ”

Gustav walked over and stood in front of the mirror.

In the mirror, there are some weird blood lines on his cheeks and skin, and from time to time he flashes a bright red brilliance. The pattern is not regular, and the whole is finely broken, like a burning cloud.

Curious to touch the glittering lines with his hands, Gustav found that his hands were no different from normal skin, and even when the lines glowed, he didn't feel more.

The magic pattern is done, and after that, it's gone?

Zell nodded with satisfaction: "It's a shame that you didn't pee your pants." It seems that you have the talent to become a witcher, and you have successfully activated the magic pattern. ”

Gustav looked at Zell and asked curiously, "What is the specific function of this magic pattern?"

Zell smiled and patted Gustav on the shoulder: "You will slowly understand the specific effect of the magic pattern later, and now I will only tell you the most basic concepts." ”

Gustav nodded, his body suddenly straightened, and he looked at Zell with an attitude of humility and learning. Now that Zell is already called a teacher, it is necessary to maintain some respect.

"Hey, I can't stand being so serious, relax. Zell laughed exaggeratedly: "First of all, you already have a certain concentration of 'demon hunting nature' in your blood, and you have a very special damage function for devils and demons, and at the same time, the effect on dark creatures is also greatly enhanced. I don't need to say much about this, and the end of the burning sensation on your body is the best proof of this. ”

Gustav said that in his understanding, the abyss cocktail he drank just now should essentially be an 'invitalizing thing' of evil energy, although there is a certain damage effect, but it is much better than the evil energy in all its states. And the self that has withstood the erosion of the inactivated substance produces 'antibodies' in the blood, which in turn can inhibit or even eliminate the effect of evil energy.

"The Demon Revelator is a profession that is biased towards the warriors, and what you need to do is to constantly strengthen your physique and make the demon hunting nature in your blood even stronger. In a sense, this is a man-made 'bloodline', a demon-hunting bloodline. The lines on Zell's face turned bright red, and blood seeped out of his pores like a living thing, taking various forms around him.

"You're only in the first state of forming a magic pattern at the moment, and your blood can't leave your body yet, fighting for you. Therefore, there are only three characteristics. Zell's next words were to the point, gesturing for Gustav to take them to heart.

"First, blood has demon-hunting properties, has excellent special effects for abyss and hell creatures, and has some damage buffs for other dark creatures. Second, the ability to activate the 'Blood Vitality' once a day, which is a supernatural ability that allows you to have a super-healing ability in a very short period of time, and quickly heal wounds. Thirdly, it has the ability to transform part of the evil energy, and can transform part of the evil energy to provide energy to the body. ”

Gustav felt a little ecstatic.

Demon Hunting Qualities?Artificial Demon Hunting Bloodline?Blood Vitality with Supernatural Abilities Once a Day?And the Effect of Evil Energy Transformation This Otherworldly Version of 'Northern Spiritual Skill'?

This...... It's like a dream!

"Hehe, don't rejoice too soon. Zell patted Gustav on the head with his right hand. "Needless to say, the characteristics of demon hunting, the conditions for the use of blood vitality and evil energy transformation are quite harsh, you don't think this is a free lunch. The essence of blood vitality is to quickly transform the nutrients stored in the body to replenish the damaged parts, and if you don't have a strong body, I'm afraid you will only take your muscles away. And the transformation of evil energy, you will know that it will be as uncomfortable as eating, after all, it is evil energy, eating it is going to 'diarrhea', just use it in the moment of life and death, and eating those things for a long time will not be good for you. ”

"Now you're going to learn how to hide them. Zell concluded.

Gustav nodded slightly excitedly, his face radiant, and his eyes shining at Zell.

"Then how can you hide this magic pattern?

Zell yawned and walked out, "My work hours are over, I'm going on a date with cute young ladies." If you want to continue to guide me, please pay an additional fee, forty silver nickels an hour. ”

Gustav had a strange expression, and there was nothing he could do about the black elf.

............

"Well, I'll have to go to someone else and tell me how to cover up the pattern. Otherwise, once the magic pattern is discovered by Chloe or the Children of the Night, the consequences will be very serious. Gustav was in a good mood and walked towards the guild.

The Witcher's Guild is very lively, even now at dusk. The nature of their work means that day and night will be reversed and irregular. The people who come and go generally come to accept and deliver the commission, because the existence of the demon hunter largely ensures the efficiency of the plane's handling of those demons who teleport through the border.

The warm stove was already burning, and the walls of the guild hung a map of the second administrative district of the Arcane Second Republic. Maps made from magic drawings will automatically shine even at night, so they won't be depressed because they're dim. Many witchers choose to chat together and brag to each other when they are resting. For most of them, once they leave the union to complete the commission, they will not be able to see each other for more than ten days.

Gustav looked at it, as if there were no familiar faces.

As he was struggling with how to ask for help, he suddenly noticed that the girl from the border who was always ridiculed by Zell as a 'silly village girl' was also there.

She was hugging her knees by the fire, her eyes looking at the flames with a calm expression.

Anyway, when I met her once, I went to ask her for advice on the convergence of the magic pattern......
