Chapter Twenty-Seven: My Body Has Never Been as Good as It Is Today
Caterina in the shadows answered, opened the basement door, and walked quickly outside.
After a while, she returned with a bucket in her hand and placed it in front of Ryan and Victor.
"This is!? Shimmer? ”
Victor watched in amazement as Caterina lifted the lid, revealing the purple liquid inside.
"You should be familiar with it, I've heard about you before." Ryan said with a smile.
"His inventor... It used to be my first teacher. ”
Victor hesitated, but said frankly:
"I don't agree with some of his views, but I have been deeply influenced by him in some ways."
"Things from the past are fascinating, but you can't get caught up in them. Victor, your past determines who you are now, and your choices now will determine your future. ”
Ryan pointed to the dark purple liquid, and said calmly:
"This was a gift from Myrdalda on the first day of my stay in Piltover. And, of course, there's another one of my favorites. ”
He brought a candle from not far away, and the wick was burning with gray-white flames, which made people feel like their souls had been snatched away at a glance.
"Shimmer Potion to help you increase the chance of fusing gems. The Lost Soul Lamp, a gadget I got from the Immortal Fortress, uses magic to forcibly absorb the souls of ordinary people. ”
Ryan looked at Victor with a solemn face:
"Once you fail, I will use it to lock up your soul and prevent it from dissipating as you die physically. But then you can only be placed in a normal mechanical body, stronger than Jace now, weaker than heroic. ”
This treasure is said to be the toy of the original owner of the Immortal Fortress to punish disobedient slaves. Anyway, Ryan didn't get any positive energy treasures from the Immortal Fortress.
Even in terms of runes, except for those basic runes, all the other runes are soul side.
"Your Excellency, that's enough." Victor had a relaxed look on his face, "What should I do?" Is it injected into the body? ”
"Hilco is a universal shimmerer, and they usually use injections, which are extremely crude and difficult to grasp subtle changes in the body. In my eyes, there has only been one successful case so far. ”
"The Lady Severica?" Victor looked curious.
Ryan shook his head, "No, it's Jinx." ”
"Jinx," Victor muttered the name, "the local word for Zaun means evil, doom, ominous (jinx). To be called like this should have its merits. ”
"She's still a half-grown girl, she's close to Jace's physique, and although she has some problems with her thoughts, she doesn't hide her flaws, and her future is not low." Ryan smiled and said, "She was the one who made the mess in Stillwater Prison that day. ”
"I'll remember this guy."
Victor nodded, understanding that Ryan was discussing with him about the future development of Zuan, in disguise to reassure him about the danger of the moment.
His face didn't hesitate, and he took off his shirt at Ryan's instructions, revealing his bony chest.
"Begin, Your Excellency. I'm sorry for your help again. He looked apologetic.
"Let me watch a great twin-city showdown in return."
Ryan smiled, his eyes and the ring on his right hand glowing with a deep blue light at the same time.
In an instant, the Shimmer Elixir was pulled by the magic and slowly flew out of a ball and rushed towards Victor.
"My technique will be very delicate, but it will make you hurt more, be mentally prepared."
Seeing Victor nodding his head, Ryan didn't say much, controlling the shimmer light to penetrate through Victor's skin and into Victor's body.
At that moment, Victor's face immediately became hideous, and his body trembled unconsciously, even Caterina, who was standing not far away, could feel the pain.
But it didn't take long for Victor to suppress his expression and try to calm himself, enduring the sharp pain coming from all over his body.
Faint light rays poured into his body from all directions, first his skin turned a little purple, then melted into his veins, embedded in his bones, and corroded his internal organs...
When the fusion began, Victor could feel the pain like insect erosion all over his body, and his whole body trembled unconsciously, but he still gritted his teeth and didn't say a word.
But because the pain was still too severe, he unconsciously used a little force in his feet.
Click...
The ground cracked like a spider's web, and Victor's eyes widened.
Usually his left foot is strained, where can he have such strength.
After a while, the pain in the body gradually subsided, and the numbness in the body turned to the numbness of the body.
"Congratulations, you made it through the first hurdle."
Ryan's congratulatory voice rang out, and only then did he come back to his senses, who was a little overwhelmed.
He twisted his body, and could feel his body as if he had been unshackled, and Victor was grateful:
"Thank you so much, this body has never been so good."
"You should perhaps be more grateful to the Creator for inventing this potion of infinite possibilities, and you need to get used to your body for a while to allow your consciousness and soul to grow." Ryan reminded.
Consciousness corresponds to the soul, and the strength of the soul depends on the body and spirit, whether it is to enhance the body or to enhance the spiritual power, it can bring about the enhancement of the soul.
But if it is an external force that intervenes, it is necessary to give the soul time to grow.
"It will take about 3~7 days, and you will have to hold on for the next few days, Miss Caitlyn and Miss Camille will be in trouble with you." Ryan quipped.
"Evolution is just around the corner, and Zuan's vision is slowly being realized, and no one can stop me."
Victor put on his clothes, hiding a little purple from his body, and his face was more determined than ever.
"I believe that too, but you have to take everything one step at a time and try your new body."
Ryan smiled and motioned for Victor to take two steps.
There was a hint of hesitation on Victor's face, perhaps because he was afraid that the feeling on his feet was fake, or maybe because he couldn't believe that he had really come this far.
He took a deep breath and lifted his left foot, which was so light that he couldn't feel the weight, moved forward slightly, then lowered it slightly, leaned forward slightly, lifted his right foot, and followed it side by side.
It was such a simple step, but his face was full of joy.
Immediately afterwards, he walked happily, faster and faster, and finally trotted, definitely not slow, far stronger than before.
"This is the first time I've experienced what a normal person feels." The expression on Victor's face was unusually rich, and the remembrance was filled with extreme joy.
"This is just the first step, and I have no objection to keeping you where you are, and I think it's good to keep your emotions alive." Ryan said with a smile.
"Emotional happiness is only temporary, and ascension can bring me eternity." Victor quickly calmed down and shook his head to reject Ryan's offer.
"I respect your choice, and you won't be bad either way." Ryan spoke with pity in his tone.
"Speaking of which, what Your Excellency asked me to study is already eyebrow-raising."
Victor pulled out a set of drawings from the backpack he had brought with him.
"This is the new type of soldier equipment I researched, and with the alloy data provided by you, I added the scientific and technological innovation of Picheng, and finally had the first version of the idea."
Ryan looked at the black and red knight's armor in the top drawing, and was immediately attracted by its gorgeous appearance. But at this moment, Caterina flashed into his ear and said something that made him raise an eyebrow:
"The style is very much in line with the Noxian aesthetic, and if Miss Camille hadn't been to see me later, I'd have been glad to hear you explain it in detail."
"Your Excellency, I can explain it to you at any time, the drawings will be put here for you first, and I should also go back to Zu'an."
Victor also consciously disturbed the other party for too long, bowed knowingly, and bowed out of the basement.
