Chapter 12: The High Priest

Previous Chapter

"Sous, congratulations, you've passed the theory exam and become a qualified alchemist." The village chief looked at the young man in front of him with a smile and said.

"Thank you, village chief." Sous bowed his head and greeted the village chief.

"Well, though...... It's amazing how you were able to master all the techniques of refining medicine in such a short period of time! ”

The village chief smiled and looked at Sous in front of him and said, "Those steps need to be paid attention to, don't forget the order. ”

Sous nodded.

"Very well, I'll leave it to you." The old man patted Sous on the shoulder and said.

Then he walked out of the room.

Looking at the closed door, Sous took a few deep breaths.

He knew what he was going to do next, but he still felt a lot of pressure, after all, this was his first time doing it on his own!

Thinking of this, Sous couldn't help but get nervous.

He walked briskly to the table, picked up a pen and paper, and wrote down the refining method on them.

Sous then burned the paper with a fire, and then took out a new piece of paper and a charcoal pen from the spatial ring.

Then, in the order in which the potions were refined, he added water, sulfur, and other ingredients to the various herbs.

Eventually, when everything was done, Sauss put it into the Dan furnace for burning at the right temperature.

A strong medicinal fragrance permeated the entire hall.

Suas held his breath and carefully observed each step of the alchemy until he was completely sure that nothing had gone wrong.

At this time, he noticed that beads of sweat the size of beans were flowing from the corners of his forehead.

Although it was only the easiest step, it was also very difficult for him.

Sous wiped the beads of sweat from his cheeks, and his heartbeat gradually calmed down and became more calm.

Then, Sous began to control the flame in the furnace, keeping it steady and slowly spinning.

An hour later, Sous withdrew the flames.

At this moment, the medicinal liquid in the Dan furnace had been boiled into a pale red by him, exuding bursts of heat.

Sauss poured it out, then added a few more herbs and stirred it with cold water before finally filling it into a porcelain vase.

He stood up and reached out to wipe the beads of sweat from his forehead.

"It finally worked." "It's amazing."

Seeing this, Suus couldn't help but shout excitedly.

He looked eagerly at the elixir in his hand, his face full of joy.

This is a dark red elixir the size of a soybean, the skin exudes a faint luster, and it contains a huge vitality, like a ball of flame, which is daunting.

The Blood Yuan Pill has been successfully refined, although it is a little rough and it is medium-grade, but it can also increase one-third of its strength in a short period of time! Sauss sighed.

A day and a night passed.

The next morning, Sous opened the door.

At this time, his face was pale, his body looked very tired, and the whole person seemed to have collapsed.

"How's it going?" The old man greeted him and asked.

"Look, Elder." Sous smiled, then handed the vial in his hand.

"Yes, it's pure!" The old man nodded with satisfaction: "Although your current strength is relatively weak, I believe that as long as you are given enough resources and training, you will definitely become a generation of alchemy masters in the future!" ”

"Thanks to the village chief's love!" Sous said gratefully.

"You're welcome, this is what you deserve." The old man waved his hand, and then continued: "Okay, you are also tired today, hurry up and rest." ”

"Yes!" Sous nodded, then stepped back.

The old man stood in place, looking at the departing Sous and muttered, "I hope this child will not live up to my expectations." ”

As he lay on his bed, many images came to his mind.

During these three months, he had dreamed of his father's appearance countless times.

I don't know what happened to my father, but the top priority is to find Kumi.

In the midst of these thoughts, Sous slowly fell asleep.

When Sous woke up, he found that it was already lunchtime, and today was the day Sous left Yaowang Village.

Sous got out of bed, washed up, and ate the lunch that the village chief had left for him.

Afterwards, Sueus simply packed up his things, said goodbye to the village chief and the villagers, and left Yaowang Village.

"Yorktown, I'm coming." Thaus muttered as he looked at the strange city in front of him.

The Sokol family is the richest tribe in the entire northern forest, and one of the top tribes in the entire northern forest.

However, the current Sokel family has long since changed. The Sokel family is in internal strife, and the dark church controls the major tribes to jointly attack the territory of the Sokel family.

The territory that belonged to the Sokel family was divided, and many people died or were displaced as a result.

There is no other reason than because they provoked the reaper.

Not only did the Reaper kill the entire core of the Sokel family, but they also took the entire Boreal Forest under their control.

Then, just as Sous was about to enter the city, a group of men dressed in black stopped his way.

"Who are you?" Suas asked.

"I am Mercot, the messenger of the undead, a messenger who specializes in leading the army of the undead to other tribes to harvest their souls, and the high priest invites you to enter the city."

After the undead messenger finished speaking, he waved his arm, and immediately several undead soldiers rushed towards Sous.

"Wait, what's the matter with the Reaper and the Undead? Who is the High Priest? When Soas 2 was puzzled, two majestic qi erupted, ready to fight.

"I'm just doing what I'm told, so please come with us." , Murcoto is not in a hurry, and his voice is resolute.

Sous snorted coldly. The palms slapped out, and several life-seekers were immediately knocked away. Sous then continued his way out.

"Undead Summoning!"

Suddenly, the surrounding undead immediately swarmed over, forming a huge encirclement to trap Sous inside.

Sous sensed that the undead's formation was somewhat familiar, and he was surprised and had no time to think, so he had to punch the enemy in front of him.

However, to Sauss' surprise, his fist didn't hurt his opponent.

"Huh? It's not even a physical force? ”

Undead summoning is one of the most powerful forms of dark magic, but it's also the most difficult to practice and learn. It's not even a physical force? ”

Undead summoning is one of the most powerful forms of dark magic, but it is also one of the most difficult to practice and learn. Therefore, those who can use the undead summoning technique are not ordinary characters, and they must also have special talents.

The undead summoning technique in front of him obviously did not possess these conditions. Therefore, the opponent is not a living creature, so no matter how you attack, it will not cause damage.

With this in mind, Sauss wasted no more time. Directly use the undead summoning technique to kill all opponents.

However, to the shock of Sous, although he could kill the enemy in front of him, he still had no way to break the formation of the undead summoning technique, so he had to give up.

"It seems that the undead summoning technique is really very clever."

Sous thought to himself, but since the other party refused to show up, Sous didn't plan to do more.

So, Sous wanted to leave this place, after all, he had found his target now, and there was no need to delay here for too long.

However, as Thaus tried to leave, a violent shaking came up from underground.

After Sous stood firm, he raised his head and saw countless skulls hanging above his head!

"Damn, what is this?" Sous cursed, then quickly stepped back.

However, the skulls surged towards Thaus like living creatures.

Seeing that the situation was critical, Sous hurriedly used the undead summoning spell to suck all the skulls and blow them up one by one.

It worked, and as soon as the skulls were sucked in front of Sois, they were blown into powder.

"Yes, that's a bit interesting."

Suddenly, a gloomy and hoarse laugh resounded throughout the city, giving people goosebumps all over their bodies.

Suas knew that the other party had finally shown up.

At the same time, in the middle of the city, an old man came out of the building, dressed in a splendid costume, wearing a crown, wearing a crown on his head, and holding a scepter, looking quite majestic.

The old man walked slowly out of the city, followed by a child.

"You're Sous, aren't you? Sure enough, handsome and chic. My name is Agnus, and I am the commander of the army of the undead, and this time the High Priest sent me to form an alliance with you. The old man said with a slight bend.

Sous frowned: "Alliance? I'm not a big deal, so why are you looking for me to form an alliance? ”

Sous was not a fool, and of course he knew that the high priest had bad intentions.

"Hehe, York City has now lost the Hallows, and if the Hallows help, then it will be easier for us to rule this land." Agnus said with a smile, without the slightest hint of fear on his face.

"It turned out to be for the Hallow!" It dawned on Sous.

"I don't understand what Your Excellency means?"

Agnas smiled, "Don't worry, you'll be safe when you arrive in Yorktown." ”

"No, I don't." Sous refused, then turned to leave.

"In that case, I can only grieve you." Agnus still looked at Sous with a smile.

Sous sneered, he knew that this group of people would definitely not be able to help him.

However, just as Sous was about to deal with the undead, he suddenly stopped his movements. Because he found that he was unable to use qi, not even elemental magic.

It all happened in the blink of an eye.

Suus panicked, he never expected such a situation.

"Hehe, do you want to ask, why can't you exert any power?" Agnus laughed.

"What did you do to me?" Sous asked.

"It's nothing, it's just that the fighting energy in your body was sealed with an undead spell, hahaha......" Agnus laughed.

Sous's heart tightened, the Necromantic Spell is an evil curse unique to the undead world, once the cursed object is cast with the Necromantic Spell, then it is equivalent to being limited in strength.

Although Sous didn't know what level of undead spell the other party was using, the one who could limit his strength must be an extremely terrifying existence.

Not only that, but Sous also noticed that the curse not only limited his strength, but also bound his soul.

"Damn it!"

Sensing this, Sous roared angrily, but to no avail.

It was dark before Souss' eyes, and when he opened his eyes, it was a different scene.

Sauss found himself in a palace of classical luxury.

At the end of the palace, a carved wooden chair is placed. At this time, a middle-aged man sat on the wooden chair.

Sous guessed that the man in front of him should be the master of Agnus's mouth.

"Lord Sous, welcome to the Lord of York." The man spoke.

Sous glanced at the man and realized that he didn't know the other party, so he said vigilantly: "I don't know why you want to arrest me here?" ”

The man smiled, "Actually, there is no special reason. The maid took a grape and put it in the man's mouth.

Sous was puzzled, "Oh? What is it about? ”

Sauss found himself in a palace of classical luxury. The palace is made of black boulders that glow pale blue. The palace carves dragons and phoenixes, which is extravagant and gorgeous. The walls of the hall are also inlaid with numerous gemstones.

In addition to the splendor, there was also a young and beautiful woman in the palace. She stood beside the royal chair, with a delicate garland on her head, a heavy gold veil on her body, and an expensive pearl necklace around her neck.

In the very center of the palace there is a table filled with a variety of gastronomic delicacies.

And at the table, a young man sits. This young man has deep eyes, a high nose bridge, angular lips, and a flawless silhouette, giving people an extremely handsome and mature impression.

"Please eat." The man said lightly, as if he had expected that Sous would wake up.

Looking at the indifferent expression of the man opposite, Sous gritted his teeth and said, "Who are you?" Why are you here? ”

"It doesn't matter who I am, the point is that I have enough reasons to save you from danger."

The man said calmly, as if he had expected this to happen.

"Why is this so familiar?" Sous struggled to remember.

As Thaus pondered, the man motioned for the maid beside him to leave.

When there were only two people left in the main hall, the man not only revealed his true face, but also released his round belly recklessly.

Sous was stunned for a moment, and then his pupils shrank sharply: "You...... You are ......"

Sous finally recognized the other.
