Chapter 49: The Ancient Wizard's Lab
The dark green snake 'trace' landed on Al's hand, which really surprised Al.
The spiritual power communicated the traces in his hand, although there was very little information that could be learned, but it was enough.
Unhooked the connection between the spiritual power and the trace, the latter immediately dissipated into a trace of black smoke.
Before the smoke cleared, the Tracer passed a brief message to Al.
Among them is the news that the leader of the Meteor Thieves has returned, as well as the detailed location of the place where he is going.
With his eyes narrowing slightly, Al pulled the cloak on his body and rushed directly to the corresponding direction.
The mountains behind the Twin Mountains are mostly steep mountains, and the roads are not easy to walk.
Without the information that the Tracer had delivered to the El, it would have been impossible for the El to find the location at all.
Standing in front of a mountain crevice, Al looked at the crevice in front of him that kept blowing cold wind outward, and knew that he had found the right place.
Helping the metal bow behind his back, Al didn't hesitate any longer, and ran straight into the crack.
At first, the width of the crack was a little uncomfortable for El.
But as we went deeper, the road became wider and wider, and the ground gradually became smoother.
However, the light revealed from the outside world has gradually weakened, and the road is almost invisible.
Nearby, there were a few torches that had not yet been lit.
But in order to prevent the leader of the Meteor Thieves from noticing anything unusual, Al did not use the torches.
Instead, he took out a small short torch from the backpack behind his back and lit it with a match.
In this era, even trains and powder guns already existed.
Natural matches also came into being, and they were gradually promoted to thousands of households.
Perhaps a remote village like McGonagall will be fully expanded.
However, an important town like Linshan Town has been completely popularized.
Raising the small torch, Al walked down the road.
The path beneath Al was straight, but with a slight downward curve.
So Al could clearly tell that he was walking downward.
After walking for about ten minutes, Al suddenly noticed that the road around him suddenly became extremely wide.
And gradually a faint light came from ahead, making the path under Al's feet gradually clearer.
Seeing this, Al knew that he didn't know what was going on.
However, there must be facilities that can be self-lit.
After a few more walks, Al extinguished the torch and put it back in his backpack after it had cooled down.
At this point, with the light coming from ahead, Al was able to see the ground beneath his feet.
So he extinguished the torch, quickened his movements, and walked forward.
Walking over to the location of the light source, Al entered a large cavern.
At the top of the cave, there is a white crystal the size of a human head, which emits light as a light source.
On the surrounding walls, mysterious runes are carved into them that El doesn't know about.
Just by seeing the runes on the wall, Al knew it was the work of a wizard.
And he is definitely a wizard of great strength, otherwise it would not have been possible for this place to be built on such an astonishing scale.
"This is the laboratory built by the legendary wizards with great strength.
I just don't know how far the wizards who built this place have reached.
And how many useful things have been left here. ”
As he spoke, Al flickered in his eyes.
He walked around the cave a few times, looking to see what was left in it.
Among them he saw some touched tables, on which were potions marked in the Old Duran language.
Ancient Duran was the lingua franca of the Western Continent in ancient times, and very few people still speak it.
At least as far as El knows, in the Holy Sword Empire, only the royal family of the Holy Sword Empire will learn this language.
Of course, this is not to say that apart from the royal family, there is no one in the Holy Sword Empire who speaks this language.
Although Al is not proficient in the language, he has no problem reading at least some basic words.
After all, he has the special ability of [concentration], and it takes almost no effort to learn the language.
If it weren't for the books that Al read that explained the ancient Duran language, they would be fragments.
Then he would have become a master of the ancient Turan language.
Walking over to the tables where the potions were kept, Al was able to make out the names of the small portions of the potions.
There are three types of potions in this section, namely 'Quality Enhancement Potions' and 'Healing Agents'.
And finally, the 'Bloodline Opening Elixir', which is most favored by El!
This bloodline opening potion lives up to its name and can help people open the hidden bloodlines in their bodies.
Because theoretically, all human beings have the blood of transcendent beings in their bodies.
That's because in ancient legends, humans used to intermarry with otherworldly beings on a large scale in order to strengthen themselves.
The exact Al is not very clear, but he does know that theoretically all human beings have transcendent bloodlines in their bodies.
It's just that most people's ancestors did not use the extraordinary bloodline contained in their bodies in the process of inheritance.
This makes the traces of the transcendent bloodline on the descendants of these people more and more faint.
Until a certain generation's body, the traces of the transcendent bloodline have completely disappeared and completely ceased to exist.
But that doesn't mean that the transcendent bloodline is completely gone.
In this kind of person, that is, in the body of the vast majority of people, there are still some traces of extraordinary bloodlines.
In the words of El's previous life, it is the genes of a very small number of recessive transcendent bloodline creatures in his body.
It is almost impossible for these genes to be turned on again, which is equivalent to cease to exist.
However, the ancient wizarding organization took this into account and made corresponding research.
The end result is this 'bloodline opening elixir'!
As long as you take this potion, there is a certain possibility that you will open the traces of extraordinary bloodlines in the depths of your bloodline.
And gradually grow, so as to obtain their own transcendent bloodline.
However, there is one thing about this potion that is not very good.
People who are born with extraordinary bloodlines are quite powerful existences.
Because human beings are constantly intermarrying each other, yes, a person may have multiple transcendent bloodlines in his body.
And what can become dominant and embodied is all a powerful transcendent bloodline individual who defeats other bloodlines.
As for the acquired use of the blood of transcendent creatures, and then the person who obtains the bloodline of transcendent creatures can also choose the type of transcendent creatures.
But this kind of person who uses the 'Bloodline Opening Elixir' opens the bloodline completely randomly.
It is possible to open an extremely powerful bloodline, such as the Red Dragon Bloodline and the Frost Giant Bloodline.
However, it is also possible to open a bloodline that is extremely weak.
Slime, the bloodline of the elven rat, there is no difference between having it and not having it.
Even because of the bloodline, the physical fitness has become a little worse than that of normal people.
All in all, this 'bloodline opening elixir' is extremely precious, but it is also possible to obtain unpleasant results.
Taking a deep breath, Al didn't care if he would be discovered.
He directly put two 'Quality Enhancement Elixirs' and three 'Healing Elixirs' into his backpack.
Then he solemnly placed the remaining 'Bloodline Opening Elixir' into the innermost layer of the backpack.
With that done, he looked at the other potions.
According to El's plan, there had to be some benefit here that would attract the wizard apprentices in the Wizard Gathering.
So the Eli must leave some of this potion here.
Besides, looking at the faint luster on the test tubes containing the potion, it is not so easy to take it away.
Otherwise, the Meteor Bandit Leader wouldn't have left these significantly more advanced potions here.
For he was afraid that he would not be able to take these potions at all.
As for the three potions that El just received, they were actually all potions used on the bloodline knight.
For wizards, these potions are the least in need of protection.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for El and the Meteor Thief Leader to take the potion away and use it so easily.
Because there is no protection on these elixirs such as those that are shiny and circulating.
Al gave it a little try, and found that, as he had guessed, the potions really couldn't be taken away.
Seeing this, Al also gave up the idea of collecting those potions.
Turning around, Al looked at the contents of the other two tables, and when he noticed that they were faintly shiny.
No matter how reluctant Al was, he could only give up the idea of collecting those things alone.
After determining the situation here, Al also had a certain gain, so he stopped being nostalgic and turned around and left.
After all, the leader of the Meteor Thieves could change his mind and return here at any time.
So when Al decided to get out of here, he picked up his speed and ran out of the cave as fast as he could.
It came slowly, because Al didn't know what was going on.
And now Al already knows the direction of the road, so the speed is naturally much faster.
The light of the cave gradually faded, and El simply lit the torch again, and walked out by the light.
The road is getting narrower and harder to walk, which is also a sign that Al is about to go out.
The blinding light flickered, and Al stepped out of the great mountain crevice.
But as soon as he regained his sight, Al saw a man standing in front of him that he had not expected at all.
With his eyes wide, Al almost immediately backed away, away from the man who terrified him.
Because this man is the leader of the meteor thieves in the Twin Mountains.
The bloodline knight who first discovered what was hidden in the mountain crevice, the wizard's laboratory!
The leader of the Meteor Thieves looked at El with a playful smile on his ordinary-looking face.
Immediately, he slowly spoke: "I have long found a little monkey peeping on the side.
But I didn't expect that person to be you.
It seems that you are not reconciled to get my cross sword, and even know my biggest secret.
I'm curious now how exactly do you know the value of the cross sword.
How do you know the exact location of this secret?"
The words fell, and an aura full of tyranny came up.
It's like a giant beast descending on El!
