Chapter 14: Relics of the Ancients
Dragging the blood trail all the way back to his lodgings, Hale put down his dagger and shield and collapsed on the bed.
He was covered in wounds, the most serious being the one when his right arm was bitten through by a pig's tooth, and now there were two extremely deep holes, bleeding out.
The worst thing is that the goblin is a carnivore, and there must be a large number of germs in its mouth, and the poison of a bite is not much weaker than that of a poisonous snake.
The wound quickly became red and swollen, and Hall's entire right arm doubled in size, bulging like a turnip, and accompanied by a sharp pain that made his forehead sweat.
Now that the gates are closed, Hale can't find a doctor.
Rummaging through the cabinet, he found only a roll of gauze.
After cleaning the wound slightly, Hall wrapped gauze around his hand with one hand to stop the bleeding.
After doing this, his physical strength was almost overdrawn, and for some reason, his whole body began to feel cold.
Hall realizes that the wound must be inflamed, so it causes a fever, which is very dangerous.
Because if you have a fever, no one will come to see you for several days, and in that case, you will lose consciousness and die.
He shouted weakly, "No, I'm going to find a doctor...... Doctor......"
With black eyes and a heavy body, Hale struggled to move towards the door, but after a few steps, he fell to the ground unconscious.
He still clutched the crystal ring tightly in his hand, but now its light had faded, and it looked like it was just an ordinary ring.
―――――――――――――――― dividing line is evil―――――――――――――――――
"Chirp!
I don't know how long it was, but the noisy chirping of birds sounded in Hall's ears.
Then he woke up from his sleep, and he moved slowly and sat up.
The sparrow next to him didn't expect that this person was not dead, so he was so frightened that he fluttered his wings and hurriedly flew away from the window.
Hall shook his head, trying to remember, as if remembering something.
So he raised his right hand and put the back of his hand on his forehead, realizing that he didn't know that Shenma's fever had subsided.
Right hand? Hall was stunned for a moment, and found that his right hand could really move!
He hurriedly untied the gauze and found that the two bloody holes on his hands were gone!
He began to wonder if it was all a nightmare that night, but when it spread out its right hand, the simple crystal ring was still in the palm of his hand, and there was a familiar cold feeling.
Look at the tattered wooden shield and blood-stained dagger on one side, and it all shows that something did happen that night.
He sat back on the edge of the bed and said to himself, "Could it be that this ring healed me?"
But no matter how much he looked at the ring, he still didn't find any clue about it.
He tried to put the ring on his finger, but nothing happened.
After studying it for a long time, Hall finally sighed, put the ring away, and suddenly felt a little hungry.
I don't know how long I slept this time, Hall nibbled on the last piece of steamed buns, while thinking about what happened, the more I thought about it, the more incredible it became.
After eating the steamed buns, Hall regained a little vitality, but to fully recover, he still had to meditate.
If it weren't for the fact that he was filled with elemental power that night, his movement and perception were stronger than ordinary people, he wouldn't have been able to kill two goblins, and maybe he wouldn't have survived the second round of attacks and would have died.
Hall was now accustomed to the agility and athleticism of his body after meditation, so he was anxious to get back to that state and began to meditate.
Three hours and fifty minutes later, Holden felt his temples tingle and his elemental energy saturated.
Thinking about it, Holden felt that something was wrong, it usually takes a little more than four hours to complete the meditation, but now it only takes three hours and fifty minutes, which is more than ten minutes shortened!
Of course, this change is not subtle, and Hall feels it deeply!
"Could it be that through the events of that night, my elemental affinity has improved?!" Hall was so excited, like an ant on a hot pot, that he couldn't sit still on the bed and paced down to the ground.
"No! no! I'm going to try illumination. ”
As his mind moved, a familiar feeling came flooding up, and a dot of light on Hall's right index finger suddenly lit up.
This time it was bright to the extreme, then slightly darkened, and then to the extreme.
After a few flashes of flickering like this, the brightness of the illumination finally became constant!
Hall looked at the warm ball of light, not dazzling at all, but two lines of hot tears flowed from his eyes.
"I succeeded! I succeeded...... Elemental affinity has really improved. Hall read silently, but the tears fell more and more, and his whole eyes were red.
This time, the illumination didn't go out on its own, but waited until Hall disarmed it, and then it went out.
Hall was so excited that he was about to go crazy, and suddenly remembered one of Rodda's favorite swear words: "I'm grass! I really succeeded!"
Saying this, Holden felt very happy in his heart, and laughed out loud, like crazy.
He opened the wooden door, took a deep breath of fresh air, and immediately felt refreshed.
Wiping the tears of excitement from the corners of his eyes, Hall slowly calmed down, he knew that he was now able to control low-level magic, but the meditation time was still very long, and this qualification was far from enough.
He struggled to remember what had led him to mention elemental affinity, recreating the details of that night, but he couldn't find an answer. What impressed him the most that night was the feeling of dizziness and nausea and wanting to vomit, the cold of the blood slowly draining, and finally the dazzling white light of the crystal ring.
Eventually, Hall focused on the ring.
He placed the ring on his right index finger and tried to activate the illumination to see if it could make a difference.
With the touch of his heart, the light between his fingers finally lit up.
However, Hall noticed that this time the light seemed to be a little different, and this time it was Cui Can's golden light!
And the light was not a dot, but a long beam of light that shone on the wooden ceiling.
Hall looked up and saw that the light and shadow cast on the ceiling appeared to be a lot of words.
Upon closer inspection, he found that the words seemed to be his own.
Suppressing his excitement, he read: "Hello, fateful person, I'm Desek. Are you a little shocked to hear the name?"
The first paragraph reads, but Hall scratches the back of his head and says, "Who is Desek? I'm not shocked." ”
The so-called ignorant are not guilty, but if these words were heard by the great alchemist Desek, who had dissipated in the world, he would probably be angry and come back to life, right?
Desec is one of the founders of modern alchemy, creating countless unique techniques, most of which are now compulsory courses for alchemists, and was once regarded as the father of alchemy.
Any spell he wrote, even the most useless spell, had to be exchanged for a city's money, which shows its high value.
It's just that Hale has no idea what kind of treasure house he's opening now.
